"They're here," Yefan sensed immediately.
Behind a nearby cabinet, someone was hiding.
Judging by the situation, this city hadn't been destroyed for long, Yefan thought, releasing his powerful mental energy.
In an instant, the cabinet door swung open!
"Ah!!!"
As soon as the door opened, a middle-aged man appeared, screaming, holding an axe. Instinctively, he swung it down at Yefan!
Bang—
Yefan didn't bother dodging, allowing the axe to strike his head.
However, the axe hitting Yefan's head was like striking solid steel.
Yefan was unharmed, but the middle-aged man was sent stumbling backward from the recoil.
His eyes widened in horror as he stared at Yefan.
"Are you one of the survivors of this city?" Yefan asked calmly.
"Y-you... who are you?" The man looked at Yefan, terrified.
The axe he had swung not only did nothing to Yefan, but now his hands were trembling from the shock.
"A human," Yefan responded flatly.
"You're... really not one of those aliens?"
The man couldn't help but ask.
"Aliens? What are aliens?" Yefan asked, puzzled.
The middle-aged man, starting to calm down, slowly explained what had happened.
Five years ago, mysterious 'spatial rifts' had started appearing around the world.
From these rifts emerged hordes of alien beasts and beings, invading the world.
"These alien beasts and beings have tough, thick skin. Some are so strong that bullets can't even penetrate them," the man explained. "We can only attack them with heavy weapons."
"This city was attacked just yesterday. Powerful alien beasts and many alien beings destroyed the whole place."
"The survivors were captured for some kind of ritual."
The middle-aged man, named Sumo, trembled as he recounted the horrifying events.
Remembering the ordeal, it felt like a never-ending nightmare.
"Ritual?" Yefan asked.
"Yes, those alien beings worship evil gods. They capture ordinary people to sacrifice to their gods," Sumo said, his voice shaking.
"Do you know where the people of this city were taken?" Yefan asked.
"They... should be at the square," Sumo replied.
"Take me there," Yefan commanded.
"But..." Sumo hesitated, his body trembling in fear.
"Are you coming or not?" Yefan asked, a faint smile forming on his lips.
For some reason, when Sumo looked at Yefan, he felt an overwhelming and terrifying aura emanating from him.
This aura was far more terrifying than any alien or beast!
"Is it this way?" Yefan asked as he stepped outside, grabbing Sumo by the collar and lifting him off the ground as they flew toward the square.
"Y-yes, it's straight ahead..." Sumo stammered, his face pale, trembling with fear as they flew.
He was terrified that Yefan might accidentally drop him, leading to his death from the fall.
"I see it too," Yefan said, spotting the large square in the distance, filled with figures.
Around the square were massive alien beasts, towering and terrifying like tyrannosaurs.
"So, these are the alien beasts," Yefan muttered, noticing humanoid beings among them.
These aliens resembled humans, but their bodies were much more muscular, their heads larger, and their faces more savage and fearsome.
As Yefan landed, he released Sumo, who immediately collapsed onto the ground, his legs giving way.
Roar—
One of the alien beasts spotted Yefan and let out a loud roar, gathering fiery energy in its mouth.
Boom—
A barrage of powerful fireballs was launched directly at Yefan.
"Heh," Yefan chuckled coldly at the sight.
Whoosh—
With a swift motion, Yefan swung the Yefan Sword, instantly slicing the fireballs in half.
The flames vanished in an instant.
The alien beasts, witnessing this, were stunned. Their massive eyes widened in shock.
Roar—
They opened their mouths again, revealing rows of sharp teeth, and charged toward Yefan, ready to tear him apart.
"Die."
Yefan spoke coldly.
In a flash, he swung the Yefan Sword again, and a massive sword-shaped energy projection followed his blade.
The colossal alien beasts were instantly cut cleanly in half.
Dark blue blood sprayed into the air.
Boom—
The enormous bodies of the beasts crashed to the ground, causing a tremor.
Not far away, the people who had been kneeling in captivity watched in awe and disbelief.
The scene before them was beyond anything they could imagine!
A human—a real human—possessing such terrifying power!
"This is..."
Sumo's eyes widened in disbelief.
He had already been amazed by Yefan's ability to fly, but now Yefan had sliced the giant alien beasts in half with just a single swing of his sword!
It was something straight out of a fantasy movie.
"Now it's your turn," Yefan said with a cold smile, turning his gaze toward the remaining alien beings.
One of the aliens, dressed in a strange robe adorned with skulls and holding a long staff, shouted something in an unfamiliar language.
Immediately, the other aliens charged at Yefan.
"Oh no!" Sumo gasped.
These aliens were incredibly tough. Their bodies were like iron, and even bullets couldn't penetrate them!
"All of you… get lost!" Yefan roared.
As the aliens charged with their weapons, Yefan swung his sword once more.
The enormous sword projection swept across the battlefield, instantly slicing the aliens in half!
Hundreds of alien beings were severed at the waist, their bodies collapsing to the ground!
