Chapter 402: The Sacred Warrior Leaderboard
It was time for the monthly Sacred Warrior Leaderboard to be released once more. This ranking of the strongest insectoid warriors had been created by a group of busybodies out of boredom, but who would have thought that the leaderboard would shock the world when it was released?
The world was bustling, and people came not for fame but for profit. How could these insectoid Sacred Warriors not be the same?
Similar leaderboards could be found everywhere in the Pan-human Alliance. After all, humans had always been adept at pursuing the path of fame and profit, but this was very rare in the relatively secluded insectoid race. The leaderboard quickly attracted everyone's attention. The lower-ranked warriors were naturally unconvinced and wanted to challenge the stronger ones, while the higher-ranked ones were smug and put on the airs of martial arts experts. Even their gait became much lighter.
Martial prowess was the culture of the insectoid race. Which warrior did not want to occupy a spot on this leaderboard? When a man achieved the Dao, his fowls and dogs would ascend to the heavens. Once one ascended to the leaderboard, this warrior and his clan would become the focus of the entire insectoid race!
Sacred Warriors would often fight to the death for the leaderboard. Although there would inevitably be some casualties, it did indeed promote the martial prowess of the insectoid race.
After many years of development, the Sacred Warrior Leaderboard had gradually developed into a professional publishing company. Anyone who wanted to publish this leaderboard needed to pay a sizable copyright fee to this company, and the few insectoid scoundrels who had created this leaderboard with nothing better to do had profited greatly from this.
One of the Seven Sacred Champions, Mengen, had died in battle. Kikiger, Laresh, and Goxan had gone missing. The Twelve Wings of the Sacred Guild had gone missing, and their leader, Duabi, had gone missing. This news caused many of the Sacred Warriors who were already on the leaderboard to rejoice!
At present, only Mengen's death had been confirmed. The disappearance of Duabi and the other fifteen top-class warriors was just a rumor.
Almost everyone had their eyes on the leaderboard today. Once these people were no longer on the leaderboard, there was no need to announce it. The entire insectoid race would know that the three Sacred Champions and the Twelve Wings were definitely dead.
Seventeen of the top one hundred Sacred Warriors had disappeared in a single night. This was the first time since the leaderboard was established!
If a warrior on the leaderboard died in battle, they would immediately be replaced by another warrior who was still alive. A few of the more powerful warriors hoped to use this opportunity to enter the leaderboard or advance further in the leaderboard. Even more people were waiting to watch them make a fool of themselves. After all, the simultaneous loss of a platoon of top-class experts was a rare event that happened once in a thousand years.
They prayed, hoping that the heavens would open their eyes and allow them to ascend to the throne that symbolized absolute power and supreme honor.
In truth, they should be thanking Xia Fei. It was precisely his appearance that had caused Mengen's death and the tragic fate of Duabi's group. He was like a butterfly gently flapping its wings, causing a tsunami of insectoid warriors!
…
On a secluded little planet, there was a rather large military camp. There were rows and rows of green barracks, and all kinds of training facilities, sports fields, and battle arenas.
The famous Mantis Army was stationed here. They were part of the border defense force and numbered more than 100,000. As there were no powerful alien races in this part of the universe, this army was mainly used for reconnaissance and patrol missions.
As the name suggested, the Mantis Army was an army made up entirely of mantis warriors. Though the mantis race did not have as many people as the ant race, they were still a major force among the insectoid race that could not be ignored. Mantis warriors were most skilled in close combat, and the average level and combat ability of their warriors could be said to be top-notch. They had always been the main force of the army in siege battles.
Now that the insectoids were at war with the Pan-human Alliance, the vast majority of the soldiers of this border defense force had been transferred to the main fleet to participate in the attack on the humans. Only ten thousand soldiers were left behind to defend the planet, not even a tenth of what they had been at their peak. The military camp appeared rather empty.
A green-skinned mantis general sat next to a computer, anxiously waiting for the Sacred Warrior Leaderboard to be updated.
His finger would tap on the screen to refresh every second, and he had been doing this for more than an hour. Alas, for some reason, the speed at which this leaderboard was being updated was clearly much slower than before.
His name was Tantu, a top-class elite warrior ranked eighty-seventh on the Sacred Warrior Leaderboard. He had the cultivation of a human high-rank Legendary, and he was also the commander of this mantis army.
"Did Duabi and the others really die? Is that why this stupid leaderboard isn't being updated? " Tantu muttered to himself. His finger was still tapping on the screen, and he was getting more and more agitated.
"General, don't be so anxious. You just need to set up an automatic refresh. Why do you keep tapping on it?" A green-skinned mantis woman beside Tantu said sweetly. She leaned against Tantu's chest, wanting to reach out and help Tantu set up an automatic refresh.
"Stinky bitch! Get the hell out of my way! " Tantu roughly shoved the woman a dozen or so meters away. The woman's body was weak to begin with, so there was no way she could withstand such a forceful shove. Her entire body was immediately sent flying, crashing head-first into the wall, and viscous liquid immediately flowed out.
The woman sat where she was in a daze, letting the green blood flow endlessly. She had even forgotten to cry. She could not understand why this bug, who had just been intimate with her last night, would turn hostile faster than flipping the page of a book.
"Stinky bitch! You're basically mocking me for not knowing how to use a computer! What bad luck! Men! Drag this stinky bitch out and throw her away! "Tantu roared.
Two guards standing guard outside the door immediately walked into Tantu's office and dragged the female bug out without another word. They had seen this kind of thing too many times, and the guards were already used to it. She was already very lucky that Tantu did not torture her to death today. Almost every month, the guards would carry out a dozen or so corpses from Tantu's room, so it was surprising that this one was still alive today.
With a cold snort, Tantu continued to use his own stupid method to refresh the screen. He licked his lips with his tongue, and the bloodstains in the corner did not make him feel disgusted. Instead, it made him even more excited. He liked this sort of salty and fishy taste. To him, fresh blood was as intoxicating as fine wine.
* Boom! *
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out. Tantu raised his head and looked out the window. He saw a thick plume of smoke rising rapidly from the northwest side. It seemed like the military camp over there had been detonated.
"What the f * ck is going on!?" Tantu was enraged. The sudden explosion had disrupted his refreshing process, so he was very displeased.
A mantis guard pushed open the door and rushed in, saying in a panic, "General! Someone has broken into the camp from the northwest corner! "
Tantu was slightly taken aback. He smiled and asked, "Are you f * cking dreaming? This is the border military camp! Who would dare break in!? "
The guard said rather aggrievedly, "General, someone really did break into the camp. He has already killed hundreds of our brothers!"
"Who in the world did this? Is it our sworn enemies, the Huis? "
"Seems like … seems like a human."
Tantu was taken aback. The Sacred Warrior circle was both large and small. It had long been rumored that Mengen, one of the Seven Champions, had been killed by a human warrior, but Tantu did not take this matter to heart. He did not believe that a human would recklessly break into the insectoid territory and even launch an attack in such a brazen manner.
* Kaboom! *
Another even more shocking sound rang out from the southeast corner of the military camp. That was where the heavily armored warships of the army were located. The tarmac where hundreds of warships of various types were originally parked was now billowing with black smoke, and the surging flames dyed half the sky red!
In just a few seconds, the attacker had moved dozens of kilometers away!?
Tantu was quite shocked!
Bang bang bang!!
A series of explosions rang out in the barracks. One moment it was from the west, and the next moment it was from the east. There was no pattern to it. It was as if the attacker wasn't one person, but many people attacking from all directions!
"Quick! Send a report to the defense headquarters and request for reinforcements. Just say that we're under attack by a large number of enemy troops! "Tantu said furiously.
The guards hurriedly retreated to send a distress signal. Tantu turned around and plucked a pair of green sabers from the weapon rack on the wall. This was the weapon that made him famous, Unparalleled Green!
This pair of Legendary-level battle sabers were as translucent as emeralds. There was a row of sharp barbs on the back of the sabers. They were heavy and domineering in the hands!
Many people believed that the reason Tantu was able to occupy the 87th place on the Sacred Warrior Leaderboard was largely due to this pair of strange weapons. Without them, Tantu would never have had the strength to enter the top 100.
In fact, this saber was not as magical as the legends made it out to be. It only had one characteristic, and that was its sharpness! Incomparably sharp!
No matter how sturdy the steel was, Unparalleled Green could easily break through it!
No matter how good a combat suit was, it could not withstand Green Wushuang's attack!
Grabbing the sabers, Tantu cursed as he went downstairs.
At this time, the military camp was already in shambles from the clash between Xia Fei and Furball!
Furball stood on Xia Fei's shoulder, coldly watching everything unfold before him. Because he and Xia Fei were telepathically connected, Xia Fei's anger would naturally affect his actions.
From start to finish, Xia Fei had not said a single word, and neither had Furball.
They simply walked into the military camp and harvested those fragile lives, as if they were cutting up weeds in the wilderness, without any pity or sympathy.
* Whoosh! *
Xia Fei's figure flashed as he arrived at a large building guarded by several hundred soldiers. This was where the firearms of the military camp were kept, and the three hundred soldiers stationed here were already on standby. Guarding the firearms was a heavy responsibility, and even though the military camp was already in a state of chaos, they still could not go out and help, only able to watch the tragedy unfold before their eyes.
* Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! *
Celestial Moon was like the most violent meteor shower, incessantly falling from the sky!
Meanwhile, the October Flying Snow in Xia Fei's hand was like a small white snake, rapidly weaving through this group of mantis warriors!
The former was infinitely powerful, while the latter was swift and fierce!
Furball constantly shot out silver energy balls from his mouth, turning anyone who came into contact with them into nothingness! Not even their corpses remained!
One man and one ball went on a killing spree in the military camp, taking away the lives of several thousand outstanding mantis warriors in the blink of an eye!
It must be known that these mantis warriors were the elites of the elites, and their combat prowess could definitely be ranked in the top three of the insectoid race, but in front of a high-rank speed ability user like Xia Fei, the gap in rank was like a huge chasm. They did not even get a good look at Xia Fei before they lost their lives on the spot!
* Kaboom! *
A huge inferno soared into the sky!
Xia Fei had set the entire armory on fire!
Under the contrast of the red flames, Furball and Xia Fei's faces looked even more savage!
Xia Fei did not even look at the flames spreading behind him. He strode forward, heading toward the center of the military camp.
