Chapter 137: Chapter 90: Leap into the Abyss!_2

Outside the No. 3 Infant Care Center, amidst the golden wheat field, a ’Moth’ Blade Beast suddenly darted upwards. A man dressed in black with a black helmet leaped into the air, his spear leaving his hand, piercing the Blade Beast’s mouth!

Following a parabolic trajectory, the Blade Beast plummeted to the ground. The moment it landed, the cold steel spear flew up on its own, wrapped in a layer of blue light, and was seized by the leaping Black Storm!

With a vertical cleave, the ’Moth’ Blade Beast swooping in midair was split in two!

Wang Jixuan’s toes tapped the corpse of the Blade Beast that had fallen, using it to push himself upwards, and he charged into the enclosing wall of the No. 3 Infant Care Center.

’These Blade Beasts are not that strong.’

Daoist’s gaze was immediately drawn to a scene not far off, where two young girls were protecting seven or eight children hidden inside a school bus, with three or four soldiers already lying fallen outside.

A ’Moth’ Blade Beast, its mouth smeared with blood, stopped feasting on human remains. It turned its head towards the school bus, where the children inside were being tightly embraced by two young female teachers. At this moment, all they could do was close their eyes and pray...

Clang!

Suddenly, the school bus glass shattered.

A female teacher with ear-length, chin-short hair instinctively opened her eyes to see, watching firsthand as a blur of shadow charged from the side at an extreme speed, smashing into the Blade Beast.

Actually, it wasn’t a collision; it was the result of Wang Jixuan moving so fast that it created a visual dislocation.

The Blade Beast was propelled away after being pierced through the chest by a long spear.

The man wearing the black helmet stopped in front of the school bus, casually pulling the door open.

"Come out, move quickly, I’ll take you to the building."

...

No. 3 Infant Care Center was cleared.

A new recommended combat area had been sent by Ms. Wan to Wang Jixuan’s front.

Such team battles were indeed much better than solo fighting, and Ms. Wan, skilled in commanding, adept at psychological counseling, and with a keen sense of battlefield information, truly could bring a significant boost to Commander Ling Tong’s performance.

Wang Jixuan took a breath, replaced his Godspeed Talisman, took out a bag of emergency rations from his backpack—roasted beast meat, attached the long spear to his back, and pulled out a few miniaturized High Explosive Bombs.

To sustain prolonged combat, one must conserve their own mana.

These flying Blade Beasts looked intimidating, but they indeed had quite a few weaknesses, just some basic Blade Beasts with the ability to fly.

No mutated Blade Beasts.

No General Level Blade Beasts.

And certainly no Special Winged Dragons.

Wang Jixuan’s running figure seemed to skim the ground, throwing two grenades in succession, one after the other. The first exploded, shattering the crystalline thin membrane outside the Blade Beast’s mouth, while the second lodged itself inside the mouth.

Amidst the roaring explosions, Wang Jixuan jumped to avoid the blast and began to search for his next target.

Conversations from both sides began to continually sound in his earpiece, occasionally chaotic, but overall not affecting judgment.

On Zhou Zhengde’s end, Wang Jixuan could hear about the situation at the fortress.

Dongfang Zhenghong kept issuing orders, but now remote command couldn’t cover everything; he could only generally coordinate the various troops of the fortress.

The main group of Blade Beasts had reached the forty-sixth floor, where the vanguard of the defense forces was engaged in fierce combat with the Blade Beasts. Due to a lack of sufficient heavy firepower, the vanguard suffered heavy casualties.

The Spiritual Ability Users were also fighting, but they had not entered the forty-sixth floor; instead, they were pursuing the group of Moth-type Blade Beasts.

This was a very obvious type of self-preservation tactic.

And yet, one couldn’t say they did nothing at all.

Daoist Wang was quite displeased with this, but he didn’t plan to deal with these Spiritual Ability Users right there, as he couldn’t just leave the Blade Beasts un-slaughtered to start a battle with them instead.

The aftermath would be the time for settlement.

How to solve the current calamity?

The voice of a technician speaking with Dongfang Zhenghong came through the earpiece.

"Deep Sea is fully prepared and will arrive at the fortress in about thirty minutes!"

"Commander! A sub-general reaction is approaching the bottom breach! Estimated to reach the breach in about thirteen to fourteen minutes!"

"Can we seal the breach within ten minutes?" Dongfang Zhenghong asked, his voice hoarse.

"Theoretically, no, Commander!"

"What are the casualties in Lower City?"

"Estimated deaths: over 67,600. The Blade Beast Group is surging towards the 46th level; half of Lower City has not yet been attacked by the Blade Beasts. A very small part of Moth Blade Beasts broke into Middle City and were eliminated by the local security teams. Total casualties are between 300 and 500. The 7th level suffered 1,200 dead and wounded, including 653 children from the No.3 Infant Care Center."

Wang Jixuan was also shocked by these numbers.

In such a short time, so many people had died or been injured?

It was said that Lower City had a population of three hundred thousand...

He frowned slightly.

To tell the truth, Daoist didn’t want to risk his life; he had already opened up a situation within the military, and the rollout of low-level magic tools had already thrilled them. All he needed was to advance step by step later. That way, he could not only become a rare talent and cultivate in the safety provided by the military, but also gradually help the humans of this world.

Yes, all he needed to do now was to stay safe.

There was no need to take risks;

There was no need to let so-called kindness overflow;

After all, he was a stranger to all living beings.

Wang Jixuan stopped at the edge of a wheat field.

The 7th level was the fortress’s No.3 Infant Care Center. These wheat fields and green trees were not only for food but also for decoration, to ensure the children could have a decent psychological foundation to face a life surrounded by darkness.

In front of them was a dark curtain decorated with starlight lamps, and behind it was a thick rock wall;

Behind the small path in the wheat field was a fire door smashed by Blade Beasts.

A line of text appeared in front of Wang Jixuan’s helmet.

[Ms. Wan: You’ve deviated from the preset route, Wang Zheng.]

Wang Jixuan suddenly asked, "Ms. Wan, I have nearly a 60% certainty that I can save these hundred thousand people, but if I fail, I might die. Should I go and save them?"

"I think the mysterious techniques you carry might save hundreds of millions of people in the future."

"You’re right."

Wang Jixuan looked at the fire door, turned around, and ran towards another area where Blade Beasts were active for a couple of steps.

He stopped, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath before turning to look at the broken door.

"But Ms. Wan, I want to go."

"Logic tells me I should dissuade you," Ms. Wan said softly, "but you’ve already made a decision, haven’t you? I will provide you with information support until Commander Ling Tong arrives at the fortress."

"Thank you."

Wang Jixuan stepped forward and ran swiftly toward the breach.

"Can you tell me why?" asked Ms. Wan, purely out of curiosity.

Wang Jixuan leaped forward, dragging his long spear and with bags strapped to his back, he plunged into the dark downward passage.

Below, more than a dozen Moth Blade Beasts were flapping their wings upwards; at this moment, they all looked up simultaneously.

A brief hover, then free fall.

Wang Jixuan flipped his body, grasping the long spear, and pounced on the nearest Moth Blade Beast, mentally calculating the trajectory of his fall; these Blade Beasts were going to be his stepping stones!

In the dim vertical passage, a green light flickered!

His answer to Ms. Wan’s question was only in his heart and was not spoken aloud.

Where the heart goes, the path of the Dao hides.

As a Daoist, he would be unstoppable and forthright in his commitment!

Vanquish the demons!
