I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

"Yeah, I did. You're lucky to have still been breathing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to do anything," Chu Yunfan said with a smile.

Chu Yunfan was no saint. With his ability, it was impossible for him to save everyone, so he just saved as many as he could. It was better than doing nothing.

"I owe you my life," the youth said after a moment of silence.

The youth was carried away in an ambulance. The second line of defense was as busy as a construction site. Especially when there was a second wave of monsters that was sweeping over in the distance.

Fortunately, the door to the second defense line opened quickly and everyone retreated to the other side of the wall.

The next wave of monsters was like a shadow that was chasing them. Almost immediately, the swarm arrived. It was overwhelming. Millions of monster ants attacked the wall. It was a terrifying scene.

Compared to the monster swarm he was seeing before him, those that Chu Yunfan had encountered before were nothing at all. Those were nothing in comparison. They were not on the same level.

Monsters flew through the sky and ran across the ground. Countless monsters blotted out the sky and covered the Sun.

On the human side, countless metal bullets shot out. Although the bullets were small, they were specially made armor-piercing bullets. Even with their thick armor, the monsters would find it difficult to block this hail of bullets. In this age of cultivation, these bullets could pierce through a tank.

There were also numerous missiles flying through the air, blasting the monsters apart. Each strike killed many monsters.

In the distance, hundreds of mechas flew into the air and engaged the monsters.

Humans had placed their strongest firepower on this line of defense. But against the fearless attacks of countless monsters, the situation was starting to turn dire.

Although this city wall was very high, as more monsters were killed, their carcasses piled up under the city wall like a mountain. Soon, the pile reached the top of the city wall. Although the city wall was constantly being raised, the monster carcass pile was growing as well.

The remaining monsters stepped on the bodies of their companions and rushed toward the city wall. The most arduous process of the city's defense had begun.

There were countless experts in the army, but most of them were riding their mechas to counter the flying-type monsters. There were also the remaining troops who had rushed out to kill the incoming monsters. Even so, it was still far from enough.

The army quickly deployed Chu Yunfan to the front line. Other than himself, he estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of Federation University students participating in the city's defense. There were students from all grades.

While Federation University students enjoyed resources that far surpassed others, they also had to bear a price that far surpassed others.

Furthermore, due to the urgency of the situation, the able-bodied commoners were also put in charge of defending the city. Although they were commoners, they had undergone many years of training.

Their physical fitness was not inferior to those monsters. It was because they had lived a peaceful life all these years that their combat experience was lacking. As such, they did not possess much training. It was actually very dangerous for them to be transferred to the front line as they had mostly forgotten all their training from when they had been in school. The number of casualties was not small.

But at this moment, they could not back down. All of them understood that if those monsters broke through this line of defense, it would be a disaster for the people. In the previous wave, the number of people who had not managed to retreat to the second defense line was at least over a million. If the second line of defense were to fall, the consequences would be unimaginable. The casualties would at least double.

Chu Yunfan was experiencing the most difficult battle he had ever been in. Endless waves of monsters swept over, covering the sky and earth. Fortunately, he had Tang Siyu's help. The two of them were very skilled and had a tacit understanding. They had cooperated many times before. And with the help of the Thunder Winged Beast, they barely managed to hold on.

Slice!

Chu Yunfan's Shadowless Saber slashed a monster to the ground. He panted heavily and felt that his entire arm was numb. He finally understood why there were records in some ancient battle books that stated even martial arts experts who were successful in cultivation could only flee when faced with the surprise attack of thousands of soldiers. If they were surrounded, the final result would be death.

If one reached the Innate Stage and opened up the Heaven and Earth bridge, one could borrow the power of Heaven and Earth. Then, not only would one's strength increase greatly, but one's endurance would also greatly improve. Only then would it be possible for them to kill a whole army. Otherwise, even if one had a high level of strength, one would still die from exhaustion.

The few hours of fighting did not stop for even a second. The monsters that blotted out the sky and covered the earth continuously swept over. They did not give him even one second to catch his breath.

Chu Yunfan's Shadowless Saber was covered in monster blood as it continuously swept out. In this intense battle, even if the user could hold on, the Shadowless Saber could not hold out much longer.

In such a high-intensity battle, the consumption of strength was many times more than usual. Most had retreated to reorganize themselves during the few hours of battle. In the middle of this battle, Chu Yunfan stood firmly rooted to the spot like a stabilizing needle. No matter what kind of monster it was, it was impossible for it to get past him.

Of course, there were not many powerful monsters in the monster swarm. Even if they appeared, they would quickly be killed by the experts of the Federation army. They did not affect the overall defense line.

These truly terrifying monsters were too powerful. A single Innate monster could break through the entire defense line with just one swipe. Right now, even ten Chu Yunfans would not be able to block the charge of one Innate monster. Hence, there were experts from the Federation Army to deal with these powerful monsters.

At this moment, the people around Chu Yunfan had already changed several times. Many of them had been injured and had to retreat to recuperate. Chu Yunfan was the only one that did not fall back.

Chu Yunfan's Shadowless Saber had been bent out of shape. He simply threw the weapon aside and began to fight the monsters barehanded.

Everyone was dumbstruck. They never expected Chu Yunfan's battle techniques to be so violent. But soon, their eyeballs popped out of their sockets.

As both sides fought, the monsters were sent flying by Chu Yunfan's punch. Chu Yunfan looked fine.

This made Chu Yunfan become a wondrous sight within a thousand-meter radius of the defense line.
