The roars of hundreds of commander level monsters shot into the sky.
At that moment, more than a hundred commander level monsters had leapt above Luo Feng, while even greater numbers remained on the ground. Although among these hundreds of commander level monsters there were only a little over sixty intermediate commanders and slightly more than thirty high level commanders, with the rest being junior commanders, the sheer number was terrifying.
Even a beginner War God would likely be unable to escape.
“Damn it, I refuse to believe I can’t break through!”
Luo Feng gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with determination.
Suspended in mid air, he suddenly twisted in an unnatural direction, narrowly avoiding a commander level monster that lunged at him.
Using his spiritual force on his shield, scabbard, sabre, combat boots, and arm guards, he applied force from different directions, allowing his body to perform strange and continuous changes of direction in mid air.
The monsters were all massive, while Luo Feng’s body was comparatively small.
As a result, under normal circumstances, at most only two or three monsters could attack him at the same time.
Dodge!
Constantly dodge!
The monsters could not change direction once airborne and could only fall helplessly to the ground, roaring in frustration.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng was like a butterfly. His relatively small body repeatedly shifted directions in bizarre ways, causing every attack to miss.
“Almost there. If I can hold on for another second or two, there’ll be far fewer monsters leaping through the air. Then I can escape.”
Luo Feng focused all his strength on evasion.
He did not dare touch the ground.
“Roar!” “Roar, roar!”
The commander level monsters that had missed their attacks had barely landed when a high level commander, a One Horned Wild Boar, let out a low growl.
Almost instantly, more than sixty commander level monsters launched themselves into the air together.
The monsters formed two layers in the sky, like a giant cage.
Commander level monsters already possessed considerable intelligence, and high level commanders were nearly as intelligent as humans.
Their previous failure caused them to change tactics immediately.
The coordinated leap formed a cage that left no gaps for Luo Feng to exploit.
Rumble!
Another group of commander level monsters leapt up from the ground.
Another layer of monster cage formed.
Three layers.
Four layers.
Five layers.
Nearly two hundred commander level monsters launched themselves one after another, creating five descending layers that enveloped Luo Feng from above.
“These monsters are too smart. They found a solution immediately.”
Looking at the monster cage that left no space at all, Luo Feng felt anxious.
Yet the monsters gave him no time to think.
They were already upon him.
“I’ll risk it!”
Gritting his teeth, Luo Feng continued pretending to evade.
Naturally, he was trapped inside the massive cage of monsters.
He finally came into close contact with an intermediate commander Bloodthirsty Tank.
“ROAR!”
Covered in fiery red scales, the Bloodthirsty Tank’s eyes glowed crimson.
It opened its enormous jaws in a furious roar.
Its sharp teeth resembled rows of saw blades capable of shredding steel with ease.
Its powerful legs stomped fiercely towards Luo Feng.
“Hmph!”
A black flash appeared before Luo Feng.
Slash!
The black streak instantly shot into the Bloodthirsty Tank’s gaping mouth.
With a loud explosion, it pierced through the monster’s skull.
Brain matter splattered everywhere.
The black streak curved through the air and immediately returned to Luo Feng’s side.
The once ferocious Bloodthirsty Tank instantly lost the light in its eyes.
Luo Feng curled his body tightly beneath the monster’s belly.
“Get me upwards!”
The Bloodthirsty Tank’s body was as large as a truck.
Hiding beneath it, Luo Feng was almost completely concealed.
Whoosh!
Using the corpse as a shield, he charged straight upwards.
The commander level monsters descending from above hesitated briefly upon seeing a fellow monster rushing upwards.
That moment of hesitation was enough.
Luo Feng smashed through their formation using the massive corpse.
“ROAR!” “ROAR!”
The monsters behind them showed no hesitation.
At close range, they launched savage attacks against the Bloodthirsty Tank’s corpse.
Stomping.
Ramming.
Biting.
Rumble!
Luo Feng felt powerful impacts constantly transmitted through the corpse above him.
Although the huge body absorbed most of the force, reducing it by nearly ninety percent, the remaining impact still shook his entire body.
His internal organs trembled violently.
Pfft!
A mouthful of blood burst from his lips.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Seeing the human using a monster corpse as a shield, more commander level monsters leapt upwards from the ground.
Most of them could jump more than ten metres high, some over twenty metres.
Their launching speed was astonishing.
“Not good!”
Blood stained the corner of Luo Feng’s mouth as he watched the monsters launching themselves one after another.
“If they keep doing this, leaping, landing, and leaping again in an endless cycle, I won’t be able to escape.”
His expression changed drastically.
Rumble!
Meanwhile, the supersonic Armoured Dragon raced forward.
Its remaining eye was so red it seemed ready to bleed.
At such extreme speed, the ground cracked apart beneath every step as it borrowed force from the earth.
It was now only about eight hundred metres from the supermarket.
At its incredible speed, it would arrive in less than two seconds.
…
The continuous waves of commander level monsters pushed Luo Feng into a desperate situation.
“The Armoured Dragon is less than ten kilometres away. At a speed far beyond the speed of sound, it’s almost here.”
The thought flashed through Luo Feng’s mind.
Once the high level lord Armoured Dragon arrived, he would have no chance whatsoever.
Given the Armoured Dragon’s leaping speed, he probably would not even be able to dodge at close range.
“I’ll stake everything on this!”
“If I fight, there’s still a sliver of hope. If I don’t, I’m dead for certain.”
In less than a tenth of a second, Luo Feng made his decision.
Grinding his teeth, he gripped the Blood Shadow Sabre and carried his shield on his back.
Suddenly shifting sideways in mid air, he collided with a commander level One Horned Wild Boar that was leaping up from below.
Then he planted a powerful kick onto its back.
The wild boar crashed back to the ground, even crushing an ordinary soldier level monster beneath it.
Borrowing that force and adding the power of his spiritual force, Luo Feng shot skyward at incredible speed.
Charge!
“ROAR!” “ROAR!” “ROAR!”
Commander level monsters continued lunging towards him.
Luo Feng’s eyes were bloodshot.
His spiritual force spread outward, covering a radius of fifteen metres.
“Five metres to the upper left, an intermediate commander One Horned Wild Boar. Three metres to the upper right, a junior commander Bloodthirsty Tank. Directly overhead, two monsters descending one after another.”
At the edge of life and death, the processing speed of Luo Feng’s brain reached astonishing levels.
He made decisions instantly.
Bang!
Using the One Horned Wild Boar as a point of leverage, Luo Feng accelerated further.
Boom!
Shielded by a monster corpse, he charged diagonally upward.
Whoosh!
His throwing knife struck.
Crash!
Three monsters collided together in mid air.
…
Only 1.2 seconds passed.
Luo Feng transformed into a blur.
He repeatedly changed direction while ascending, coming into close contact with twenty one commander level monsters.
Sometimes he borrowed their momentum.
Sometimes he killed them.
Sometimes he accepted injuries himself.
Every method served a single purpose.
Speed.
Maximum speed to reach a higher altitude.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Luo Feng finally burst through the airborne wall of monsters.
The moment he emerged, he spat out three mouthfuls of blood.
His Series 5 combat uniform was badly damaged.
Blood soaked through the chest area.
“I made it out alive!”
Floating in the air with a pale face, Luo Feng was overwhelmed with excitement.
Looking at the smoke filling the surroundings, he felt even more exhilarated.
He had thought this would be a near certain death situation.
Yet through sheer madness, he had survived.
“Human potential really does get forced out under pressure.”
Luo Feng could not help laughing.
“In that brief instant, I actually accounted for eighty one commander level monsters around me. I made close contact with twenty one of them and still escaped.”
“Could this be… the level beyond Micro Movement, the Perfect Level, Control of the Environment?”
Luo Feng knew that evasive movement techniques were divided into:
Basic Level.
Micro Movement Level.
Perfect Level.
Artistic Conception Level.
The Micro Movement Level meant using the smallest possible movements to evade attacks with maximum efficiency.
The Perfect Level meant controlling the surrounding environment and making use of anything nearby, whether living creatures, rocks, buildings, or anything else.
Perfectly utilising the environment while executing the most precise evasions.
That was the Perfect Level.
The giant War God Li Kan had reached this level.
As for Shadow Sabre Wang Tong, he had reached the even higher Artistic Conception Level.
“Compared to that giant War God, I’m still far behind. First of all, he’s a martial artist and doesn’t possess spiritual force to scout his surroundings. I relied on constantly spreading my spiritual force over a wide area to understand everything around me.”
“Secondly, only in a life or death situation could my brain process information that quickly. A true master of the Perfect Level probably doesn’t need conscious calculations at all.”
The extreme mental calculations performed during those 1.2 seconds left a faint ache in Luo Feng’s head.
Whoosh!
He immediately shot upwards to an altitude of over sixty metres.
Below him, hundreds of commander level monsters and countless ordinary monsters stared upward, roaring furiously and leaping desperately.
Some dozens of monsters were even using other monsters as stepping stones to jump higher.
“Get lost!”
A thought flashed through Luo Feng’s mind.
A streak of black light shot forward.
Slash!
A high level commander monster, unable to dodge while airborne, had its skull blasted apart by the throwing knife and fell from the sky.
“Haha… time to leave!”
With a mental command, the buckle released.
His shield flew beneath his feet.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng rapidly flew away.
“AOOOOOO!”
A shrill and miserable roar suddenly echoed through the air.
Visible ripples spread outward like physical waves.
“My ears…”
Luo Feng instinctively covered them and looked back.
A gigantic Armoured Dragon covered in dark cyan scales was streaking through the sky like a beam of light.
Its single cold eye contained nothing but murderous intent.
It was the Armoured Dragon.
The high level lord, Armoured Dragon!
“This is eighty metres above the ground. Its jumping power is terrifying!”
Luo Feng’s expression changed.
He immediately made a sharp turn in mid air, tracing a beautiful arc as he attempted to evade the Armoured Dragon.
