Chapter 107: No More Low-Key, Zhao Zheng Takes Action (Highlight)



Although this barrage of fire didn't injure the fifth-rank monster, it did cause significant casualties among the ordinary monsters.

The soldiers immediately reloaded their weapons.

Once they were reloaded, Colonel Zhou gave the order to fire again.

Round after round of artillery fire rained down, leaving many more monster corpses on the ground and disrupting the monsters' charge formation.

The first wave of monsters that could rush forward was not large.

As the monsters advanced towards the defense line, Chairman Song stepped forward, raising his arm and shouting:

"Paragons, attack!"

His words were followed by action.

Chairman Song leaped forward, transforming into his ferocious form mid-air and launching a fierce attack on a monster in front of him.

His strength was astonishing!

Chairman Song's divine ability was likely an Animal-type Devil Fruit related to a fierce tiger.

The other paragons, seeing their leader in action, quickly followed suit.

The muscular fifth-rank man had incredible defensive power and strength, rampaging through the monsters.

Zhao Zheng guessed that his divine ability was probably the "Red Tank" among the mutants, but his strength was far inferior to the Red Tank.

Zhao Zheng also joined the fray.

However, he didn't immediately reveal his full strength.

He wanted to assess the situation with the fifth-rank monster first.

At that moment, Zhao Zheng spotted an elderly man with white hair on the battlefield.

More importantly, this old man felt incredibly familiar to him. Zhao Zheng quickly searched through the memories of this body and realized it was his grandfather, Old Master Zhao!

Zhao Zheng was shocked.

Shouldn't his grandfather be retired by now? And he wasn't in the best of health! What was he doing here?

It was madness!

Seeing his grandfather's brave stance, Zhao Zheng immediately approached him, intending to look after his grandfather.

After all, he was his grandfather!

Moreover, his grandfather had gifted him the extraordinary skill "Fist Wind Impact," and regardless of their familial bond, Zhao Zheng felt indebted to him.

...

At that moment, Old Master Zhao was wielding an iron rod, relentlessly smashing it down on the monsters.

Most of the monsters he hit suffered severe injuries, with their heads bursting open.

It was evident that Old Master Zhao was no weakling; he seemed to be at least a third-rank, perhaps even stronger in his prime.

And he showed no fear of death!

He charged towards wherever the monsters were thickest.

Even Chairman Song was impressed by Old Master Zhao's performance and couldn't help but cheer, "Old Zhao, you're amazing!"

Old Master Zhao laughed heartily and continued fighting with all his might.

Just then, a giant centipede monster noticed Old Master Zhao and twisted its massive body towards him.

This centipede monster was enormous, at least fifty meters long, and its charge was terrifying, causing the ground to tremble.

"Old Zhao, be careful!"

Chairman Song noticed the centipede monster but was entangled by a shark-like monster, preventing him from assisting. He could only shout a warning.

Despite the centipede monster's intimidating presence, Old Master Zhao didn't back down.

Zhao Zheng realized that the old man had already exhausted most of his strength from the previous battle and wouldn't be able to outrun the centipede monster even if he wanted to.

After all, Old Master Zhao was elderly and had hidden health issues.

At this critical moment, Old Master Zhao seemed to accept his fate.

But there was no fear on his face; instead, he laughed heartily and shouted at the monster, "You beast, come at me!"

Old Master Zhao was ready to face death.

However, Zhao Zheng couldn't stand by and watch his grandfather die.

Just as the centipede monster opened its massive jaws to swallow Old Master Zhao whole, Zhao Zheng finally caught up, leaping in front of his grandfather.

Then, Zhao Zheng widened his stance, clenched his fist, and aimed at the centipede monster's head, unleashing a powerful punch.

"Kaboom!"

This punch was indescribable.

Old Master Zhao heard a thunderous explosion beside him, like the roar of thunder.

Then, he witnessed the centipede monster's massive head shatter into countless fragments, spraying blood everywhere.

The headless centipede monster twitched a few times, injuring several nearby monsters before finally dying completely.

"Good!"

Old Master Zhao, seeing the bespectacled Zhao Zheng, didn't realize he was his grandson.

He praised him, "Young man, you're incredible!"

Zhao Zheng didn't respond to his grandfather's praise. Instead, he advised, "Grandfather, this place is too dangerous. Leave it to us younger ones. Please go to the rear!"

The old man's eyes widened in defiance, "What danger? If you young folks can come here, why can't I?"

Indeed, the old man's glare carried an intimidating aura.

Zhao Zheng's instincts kicked in, and he instinctively recoiled.

But he quickly regained his composure, remembering that he was playing the role of Chen Ye, not the old man's grandson. He straightened his back.

"Old man, if I hadn't acted just now, you would have..."

In the 16th book of the 9th series, a mistake-free version!

Hearing these words, the old man burst into laughter.

"So what if I die? I'm already this old, I've lived long enough. Rather than waiting to die at home, I'd rather die on the battlefield. Before I go, I'll take down as many monsters as I can, and leave some glory for my descendants!"

Zhao Zheng was moved by his words and couldn't help but glance at the old man.

At this moment, he couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart...

"Old man, you won't die!" Zhao Zheng said firmly. "At least not today!"

"Young man, whether I live or die is not for you to decide."

The old man's gaze swept around, and he said, "With so many monsters and just us few people, wanting to hold them off for half an hour is as difficult as climbing to heaven. Those who stay here today will likely face more danger than safety!"

Then, the old man's gaze turned to Zhao Zheng, "Young man, I suggest you retreat. Don't risk your life here. With your young age and such strength, it's not easy. Dying here is not worth it."

Zhao Zheng punched and killed a monster that charged towards him, then turned his gaze towards the front line.

At this moment, as the monsters near the defense line increased, the human side had completely lost the upper hand.

Occasional screams echoed.

These were the cries of injured or dying Extraordinary Beings.

The defense line was gradually breached by the monsters!

As for Chairman Song and the others, they were struggling to even protect themselves.

They were locked in a fierce battle with the gigantic Fifth Rank Monster.

The colossal Fifth Rank Monster had an astonishing defense and terrifying strength. Each of its attacks was devastating.

The muscular man with the suspected Red Tank Divine Ability was struck by the monster, and he was sent flying dozens of meters, landing with a mouthful of blood...

With the loss of a powerful ally, the situation became even more dire for Chairman Song and his team. They were in constant danger of losing their lives.

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng could no longer hold back.

Everyone was fighting with all their might, making him feel that he shouldn't be so cautious.

Moreover, his grandfather was here, and Song Haitang's father was also present.

If Chairman Song were to meet harm before his eyes, it would undoubtedly create a rift in his relationship with Song Haitang.

With this thought, Zhao Zheng clenched his fists tightly. His eyes gleamed with a savage light, as if a beast had awakened within him...

...

At the same time, a helicopter flew in from the city.

This helicopter was not equipped with any weapons, clearly a commercial one.

Onboard was a reporter carrying live-streaming equipment, aiming the camera at the female journalist beside her.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xia Xiaoyu from the Lu'an City News Channel."

"Just a few minutes ago, a temporal rift over two kilometers long appeared in our city, classified as a B-Rank disaster..."

"Pay attention to what's behind me. That's our human military and Extraordinary Beings fighting against the monster army..."

"Oh my, there are so many monsters, too many to count..."

"Although the Extraordinary Beings of Lu'an City are fearless, it's incredibly difficult to hold off such a monster tide..."

"I've received news that a Seventh Rank powerhouse is on the way to provide support, but it will take some time..."

"Look at the front, there's an old man fighting the monsters, he's probably in his seventies or eighties. At this moment, I can't describe how I feel..."

"Viewers, seeing our heroes falling one by one, I really feel like crying. They're fighting to protect the citizens behind them..."

"The one battling the gigantic monster is Chairman Song! That monster is terrifying, even a Fifth Rank Extraordinary Being like Chairman Song is no match for it..."

"Bad news! Chairman Song is in danger..."

"I'm an atheist, but at this moment, I'm willing to give everything to pray for a miracle..."

...
