Chapter 1289: One Sword Eliminates the Alien Beast

"Travel, travel?!" Captain Zhan Po thought he had misheard, struggling to keep up with the thought.

Lu Yang pointed behind him at the black-canopied boat: "Look, that's my boat."

When the Salvation Squad saw the black-canopied boat, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

When Lu Yang said he had a boat, they imagined a vessel with metallic sheen, full of futuristic and technological feel, a spaceship.

But they never expected it to be just an ordinary, common boat.

Such a boat would appear in an early position in history books!

"By the way, you said this big tiger is the king of alien beasts, able to control all alien beasts, now that it's dead, what will happen to the alien beasts? Will they just die outright?"

Zhan Po shook his head: "The hardest part about dealing with alien beasts is that they act in an orderly manner; with the death of the alien beast king, we humans have a chance to pick them off one by one."

Zhan Po spoke with firm conviction, his expression full of longing and anticipation: "Ten years, at most ten years, and we humans will be able to reclaim Tianhai Star, which rightfully belongs to us!"

The Salvation Squad imagined the future, unable to help but smile.

Lu Yang also laughed: "Ten years is too long; let me help you."

Before the Salvation Squad could react, Lu Yang stood up, drew his Azure Edge Sword, and under their stunned gazes, his feet left the ground as he flew into the air.

Even Yuan Xing, who loved to talk the most, was now speechless.

"Captain, can humans actually fly?" Shi Lingyun nudged the captain; he had evolved to the extreme, so why wasn't he flying?

And he doesn't even have wings—how is he flying?

"Don't ask me; I don't know either."

Lu Yang pierced through the clouds, arrived above Tianhai Star, spread his divine sense, enveloping the entire planet, locking onto all alien beasts.

On this planet, Lu Yang took in all alien beasts at a glance—the beast tide assaulting the city, soldiers fighting desperately to resist, and commanders sharing the city's fate.

Among the top ten human experts, three others were also inside the city, resisting the beast tide.

Although the big tiger is dead and the alien beasts have lost control, they have already been stirred into a blood frenzy in the slaughter,

and even without anyone controlling them, they will still attack the city.

Not only are there alien beasts on land, but also in the ocean, and moreover, there are several alien beasts in the ocean comparable to the big tiger, as well as one alien beast stronger than the big tiger.

Perhaps that alien beast in the ocean is the true alien beast king, only the human high-ups and the Salvation Squad don't know of its existence.

"One sword becomes ten thousand swords."

The Azure Edge Sword traced an arc, leaving an indelible sword shadow wherever it passed; the sword shadow resembled a prairie fire,

spreading at an inconceivable speed.

If someone were standing in outer space, they would see Tianhai Star as if gilded with a layer of golden light—that is the radiance of countless Azure Edge Swords flashing.

Index and middle fingers together, the vast divine sense locked onto each alien beast; above their heads, sword shadows hung high.

He merely exhaled a single word lightly.

"Fall."

Floating sword shadows, swords raining down, the sword shadows resembled immortal punishment, indiscriminately piercing every bloodthirsty alien beast.

Whether it was ordinary alien beasts on land or the true alien beast king hidden in the ocean, each needed only one sword shadow.

The alien beast king in the ocean seemed to sense a threat to its life, desperately fleeing, yet the golden sword shadow descended from the heavens, plunged into the sea, not only not slowing down but instead gaining speed.

The alien beast king twitched its tentacles to block.

Boom—blood mist spread; this alien beast king had not yet shown its might in the human world before dying in the unexplored depths of the ocean.

The Salvation Squad didn't know what Lu Yang was doing by flying into the sky; they were in the big tiger's territory, with no alien beasts nearby, and could only see a patch of gold descending far away.

Immediately after, their communication channel transmitted a hissing sound—it was the three among the top ten experts responsible for guarding the city.

"Zhan Po, you succeeded!?"

"You killed the alien beast king!"

"How did you do it? Swords, so many golden swords fell from the sky, killing all alien beasts!"

The city-guarding human experts spoke with excited, incoherent tones; they knew the Salvation Squad had gone to kill the alien beast king, and naturally linked this event to the squad.

The Salvation Squad exchanged glances, shock and fear both present.

"What method is this?!"

Lu Yang smiled as he sheathed his Azure Edge Sword and landed: "Taken care of."

"Mr. Lu—"

Lu Yang raised his hand to stop Shi Lingyun: "Talk as we walk; perfect timing to hear your stories on the road, bring me to your city to see it, and if I can meet your president, that would be even better."

"Of course, of course." Shi Lingyun quickly replied, even if Mr. Lu didn't say so, the president would proactively come to see him.

Seeing Zhan Po about to speak but hesitating, his gaze drifting to the big tiger's corpse, Lu Yang understood his meaning.

He used his identity jade tablet to take away the big tiger's corpse; the corpse, as big as a small mountain, shrank and vanished, again shocking the Salvation Squad.

On the road, Lu Yang had the Salvation Squad recount their pasts in turn; Lu Yang merely listened, occasionally inserting one or two questions to clarify, then continued having them tell their stories.

When the last person's story ended, Lu Yang seemed to sigh while laughing:

"Each of you has a different starting point, different experiences, then you formed the Salvation Squad, until before the decisive battle you were still adjusting, becoming a whole, then the decisive battle against the alien beast king—Shi Lingyun, you even broke through mid-battle, resolved the alien beast king, becoming a great hero of humanity, splendid, truly splendid."

Lu Yang clapped, as if cheering their life experiences, leaving Zhan and others bewildered, feeling Mr. Lu was praising them, yet the tone somehow didn't quite feel like it.

Lu Yang produced the big tiger's corpse in advance, had the Salvation Squad carry it as their trophy, to show off before the public.

Upon reaching the city walls, the walls were stained with blood, having endured countless bloody battles.

By then, the news of the Salvation Squad solving the alien beast king had already been sent back; the city gates swung wide open, and the populace enthusiastically welcomed the triumphant heroes.

The president personally came out to greet them.

The president is an approximately sixty-year-old man, formerly the leader of the previous generation's top ten experts, and he warmly embraced Zhan Po and the others.

"Zhan Po, Shi Lingyun, and all of you, I just knew you would definitely succeed!"

When he approached Lu Yang, met Lu Yang's dark eyes, felt his entire body's secrets laid bare, after a slight hesitation he still chose to step forward and shake hands.

"This is the alien Mr. Lu, right? Thank you so much for saving us."

"This isn't the place to talk; let's go to the office." The president invited the savior squad and alien Mr. Lu to the city's core area.

Upon arriving at the office, the president personally poured tea for everyone, showing great approachability.

Lu Yang took the teacup from the president's hand, said a polite word, and then casually asked: "By the way, Mr. President,

what are our ratings?"
