Permanent Martial Arts Chapter 72 – The Second Battle

Chapter 72: The Second Battle

Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Outside Dragonlith City, the east wind was blowing. Led by Long Duo, the other 15 inhuman experts had already arrived. However, only about 2000 other martial artists arrived in succession.

Back at the Dragon Mountain Base, there were about 5,000 martial artists in total. Yet now, there were only about 2,000 of them left. Other than those who had left Dragonlith City previously, the remaining people had cither not received the order, or had not come to the outside of the city after receiving
it.

There was another possibility, and that was that those martial artists could never receive the order. They had been parasitized, or died fighting the dire beasts.
Long Duo glanced at all the martial artists. He saw Lin Feng among the crowd. The one who had a strange illness, yet was the strongest genius of the Myriad Academy in the past decade, was now standing quietly in the crowd.

Long Duo took a deep breath and said to the 15 inhuman experts, “There’s a dire beast army led by 30 demons outside the city, and there are three million civilians in the city. For this battle, we might not even have a 10% chance of winning.”

“Chief Commander, we’ve broken the genetic lock. We’ve been on the frontline for so many years. When have we ever been afraid? If worse comes to worst, we will die, but no matter what, as long as we’re here, we must not let the dire beasts charge into Dragonlith City!”
“That’s right. Ever since I’ve broken the genetic lock, my family and friends have all led abundant lives. I have no more regrets. Even if I die in battle, I will definitely be a hero. My family will be proud of me!”

“We won’t yield any ground to them!”

The 15 inhuman experts would not yield any ground. They all knew what it meant once they decided to fight to the death. It was very likely that even inhuman experts like them would die.

But just as they said, so what if they died? The purpose of martial artists was to protect humanity and maintain peace. They had already obtained the most material life that human society could give them. Even after their deaths, they would certainly become heroes, and their families and descendants
would be cared for. They no longer had any worries for the future.

It wasn’t just the 15 inhuman experts. This was the same thought of over 2,000 martial artists who had arrived at the outside of the city. If worse came to worst, they would die, but after their deaths, they would definitely be heroes, and their families would be cared for.

The entire human society revered heroes who died in battle at the frontline. Furthermore, the remunerations were very generous. There would definitely not be cases of heroes encountering injustice in addition to sacrificing. The human society was thriving, and human martial artists dared to risk their
lives. This was why the entire human territory was expanding rapidly, and more and more martial artists appeared.

Long Duo was very satisfied. Back when he had not broken the genetic lock, hadn’t he also showed such courage when fighting at the frontline?
Looking at these energetic and battle-ready martial artists, he felt very proud!

“Very good. You have not forgotten your duty as human martial artists! However, you absolutely won’t be forgotten, nor will the three million citizens of Dragonlith City. One of the highest commanders of the armed forces, the Invincible Fist Sage of the Nine Sages of the world, will arrive in Dragonlith
City in 10 hours.”

“As long as we can hold out for 10 hours, and hold out until Lord Invincible Fist Sage arrives, we will be saved. The three million people in Dragonlith City will be saved!”
Long Duo’s words were carried forth powerfully, and all the martial artists heard them clearly. In fact, Long Duo would not keep this news from the people of Dragonlith City. He had the mayor inform all the people of Dragonlith through the radio, television, and so on.
Such hope was necessary to inspire everyone in despair, and this news was very timely.

Many of the citizens who received the news took the initiative to construct defenses outside the city and gave encouragements to all the martial artists. There were military police and some martial artists who continued to hunt those dire beasts inside the city, and it was generally safe.
Right now, the most dangerous place was outside the city. The army of 30 demons and dire beasts were coming. If they could not hold out for 10 hours, it would spell annihilation for everyone in Dragonlith City!

Rumble.

The martial artist army outside the city could already feel the ground shaking, Looking from afar, there was dust along the whole way. The dire beast army had finally arrived. Furthermore, it was vast and mighty. There seemed to be tens of thousands of them.

If so many dire beasts charged into Dragonlith City, the entire city would probably tum into a living hell.

Lin Feng was also in the crowd. He held his saber and stared intently at the dire beasts.

They were all fleshworm dire beasts. There were no longer dire beasts like the Proboscis Beasts and hedgehog dire beasts from the decisive battle at the frontline before. All tens of thousands of dire beasts were fleshworm dire beasts.

With such a great number of dire beasts, and all of them being fleshworm dire beasts at that, everyone knew that this battle was almost doomed. Be it in terms of numbers or inhuman-level battle prowess, the dire beast army was far stronger than the human martial artists outside the city.
How could they resist so many dire beasts for 10 hours?

‘When Long Duo saw this, he laughed aloud. That’s right. With so many dire beasts, there was no need for any tactics, for tactics were useless.

“Haha, this is just as well. I can finally go all out with killing this time.”

Ever since Long Duo became the Chief Commander, the times when he personally went to battle became fewer and fewer. However, this time, he did not need to command at all.

“Kill!” Long Duo roared. His voice rang out like a muffled clap of thunder.

“Ki!”

All the martial artists also knew that there was no such thing as lucky flukes in this battle. If they could not resist, they would die. However, they could not allow these dire beasts to charge into Dragonlith City, even at the cost of their lives.

Boom.

The martial artists moved. They took the initiative to attack. The 16 inhuman experts in particular charged in front of all the martial artists.

Long Duo reached out and clapped. His palms sucked out all the air in a radius of dozens of meters. With a push, dozens of dire beasts and fleshworms were instantly crushed into pieces.

The other inhuman experts also displayed their abilities. Every inhuman expert who broke the genetic lock would awaken one or a few abilities. Faced with them, there was no difference between ordinary dire beasts, dire beast lords, or even dire beast kings.

With a single palm strike, they were all smashed into a bloody mist!

However, there were also demons among those dire beasts, and there were 30 of them!

It was even the first time many inhuman experts had seen so many demons. The 30 demons were all enormous, like thirty small mountains. They were very conspicuous among the dire beasts.

Faced with the slaughter of the ordinary dire beasts by the inhuman experts, the 30 demons only watched indifferently. They did not attack immediately, as if ordinary dire beasts were nothing in their eyes.

These demons were about as intelligent as humans. They did not care about the deaths of ordinary dire beasts. In fact, on careful thought, they could parasitize constantly. As long as they had enough parasitic hosts, they could get as many dire beasts as they wanted.
These ordinary dire beasts were indeed just cannon fodder.

“Haha, satisfying, truly satisfying.”

An inhuman expert was wielding a huge axe. With a swing of his axe, dozens of dire beasts were sliced into countless pieces.

The other inhuman expert was like a bulldozer. His body was like a small giant, expanding in circles. Wherever he passed, he practically paved a bloody path.

The 30 demons had been watching everything apathetically the whole time. Finally, one of them, who was obviously twice the size of the other demons, let out a sharp screech.

Then, as if they had gone berserk, all the dire beasts responded with screeching sounds.

Countless dire beasts immediately went berserk, and the 30 demons moved at once, targeting the dozen or so inhuman experts directly!
