Chapter 330: The Kirin's Law Form Reappears

"There are some reinforcements arriving, but it's still not enough......"

Situjun's expression turned sour as he glanced—intentionally or not—at Yang Zixin, Lu Xinyuan and a few others seated in the back row.

There are many who hold slots yet never go to the battlefield.

If I recall correctly, the elder we just interrogated also bears the surname Lu; he's the patron of Lu Xinyuan's family.

But because of the elder's status, he couldn't state that outright.

"Not everyone is required to go into battle and slay the enemy, so the manpower issue remains unresolved......"

Situjun sighed and explained.

Hearing that, the elder on the screen lifted his eyelids slightly and said softly, "Don't worry, in a few days more support will arrive; just hold the defensive line as best you can during these days."

Upon hearing that reinforcements were coming, Situjun's expression immediately softened considerably.

He followed up, "Specifically, how many days should we wait?"

"We'll inform you in advance; it shouldn't exceed a week."

The elder gave an ambiguous answer.

"Alright, that'll be the end of today's legion meeting. I still have to coordinate matters for other legions. As for Lu Jing, I hope you keep pushing forward and don't disappoint the military's recognition and cultivation of you......"

He then waved his hand and terminated the online conference.

When exactly will this support arrive? They don't even give a reliable word. Right now everyone is short of manpower; they're not trying to fool us, are they?

A murmuring voice rose in the now-quiet conference room.

Those words voiced everyone's thoughts.

The promised support kept being delayed; if it weren't for Lu Jing averting the crisis, we don't know how many would have died.

"It's fine; with Lu Jing in our legion, holding out a few more days isn't a problem," Situjun comforted the group, "Everyone focus on your own tasks; the next wave of mutant beasts' all-out assault is about to begin."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Lu Jing, take this set of uniform back with you," Situjun picked up the neatly stacked clothes on the table and handed them to Lu Jing, "By the way, try not to wear it on the battlefield; it's easy to damage."

Situjun made a point of reminding him.

Fighting mutant beasts especially wears out clothing; many beasts' blood is corrosive, and any contact will tear a huge hole in the fabric.

Therefore, people generally only wear the tidy uniform when attending special occasions in the military district.

Cave battlefield.

Lu Jing, single‑handed, carried the Thousand-Blade Demon Sword and walked swiftly across the wasteland.

Three days have passed since the last commendation ceremony.

Lu Jing moves like a perpetual motion machine, never needing rest nor feeling fatigue, dashing between the various defensive lines of his legion.

Each day he departs at dawn's first light and returns at dusk, cloaked in a pungent scent of blood.

After three days of being bathed in mutant beasts' blood, even after washing clean and changing clothes, he still exudes a peculiar, terrifying aura.

It's like a long‑time chain‑smoker, the lingering smell of smoke clinging to him.

Such a condition usually only appears on veterans who have long been immersed in battle......

Yet Lu Jing has only been enlisted for a few days, which shows that in that short span he killed mutant beasts that would take others years to fell!

"Lord Seat, can you hear me?"

Lu Jing fiddled with the oddly shaped communication device in his hand.

"Heard you!"

Situjun's voice came through the device, "Return to the defensive line immediately; the next wave of mutant beasts' charge is about to begin, and there are void beasts among the herd that need you to handle them."

"Alright, I'm on my way."

Lu Jing's eyes lit up, he shut off the device, and turned toward the defensive line.

To slay more mutant beasts, he broke through the defensive line and pushed several kilometers deep into the Cave.

"Roar—"

A fresh tide of mutant beasts surged from afar like a swarm of locusts, raising clouds of dust; faintly one could see some semi‑transparent void beasts mingling among them.

A woman clad in combat gear, with long aqua‑blue hair, continuously moved among the beasts, her long blade repeatedly reaping their lives.

Around her, several ice shards darted and interwove, momentarily carving out a vacuum zone free of mutant beasts.

"Snow Sister, come back quickly; there are void beasts inside, don't let them drain your spirit!"

Zhu Xingyao shouted loudly from the city wall.

Many soldiers had already retreated, their gazes toward the void beasts heavy with gravity and fear.

Dong Ningxue's eyes flickered, her pale five fingers waved, and another spray of ice blades erupted, using the recoil to break free from the beasts' encirclement.

She then flashed a few times, arriving beside Zhu Xingyao.

"Where did Lu Jing run off to? Only he can handle that damned thing."

"He said he's on his way......"

Zhu Xingyao planted her foot and gazed into the distance.

Suddenly, her eyebrows lifted, a smile spreading across her face, "He's here!"

Many heard Zhu Xingyao's excited shout and involuntarily followed her line of sight.

A figure, hand gripping a long knife, tall and slender, hurried forward.

"It's Major Lu!"

"Major Lu has arrived, wonderful!"

"Major Lu Jing is the bane of these void beasts!!"

The soldiers' voices rose, filled with awe, admiration and joy.

After spending these few days together, Lu Jing relied on his strength and conduct to completely conquer everyone.

Many soldiers regarded Lu Jing as an idol and a goal to aspire to.

As long as Lu Jing appears on the battlefield, he can instantly raise everyone's morale by a notch.

"Don't come down from the city wall; leave this to me."

Lu Jing's alloy war boots lightly tapped the ground, and with a calm expression he charged toward the beast tide.

The violent purple firmament divine thunder surging wildly within his body, under the gaze of all, a hundred-meter-tall kirin divine beast appeared behind Lu Jing.

A domineering, violent, destructive aura projected outward, making the surrounding beasts and the soldiers on the city wall all feel a chill.

Next, the thunder kirin roared toward the sky, a pair of sky-covering giant claws lifted high, then fiercely slammed into the ground.

Boom—

A vast number of beasts were directly shattered into powder by this strike.

"Roar—"

Another roar, the thunder kirin opened its abyssal, black-hole-like giant mouth, inside which lightning surged back and forth.

The aura surged, and the thunder-attribute particles in heaven and earth were instantly pulled together, forming an energy cannon flickering with purple light.

Boom—

The fully condensed thunder cannonball was spat out by the kirin, rapidly expanding in the air.

It expanded directly from tens of meters to hundreds of meters, blasting into the very center of the beast horde.

Hum—

Zzz—

Electric energy surged.

First came a nuclear-bomb-like explosion, vaporizing the nearby beasts into gas.

Then this thunder cannonball did not vanish directly, but transformed into a stretch of thunder hell nearly three thousand meters long.

Destructive, scorching, blazing thunder swamp—any beast that approaches will be instantly sucked in and then annihilated by the high-temperature blaze......
