Chapter 125: Time of Human Crisis (Part 3)_2
"Don't forget to destroy the soul orbs of our fallen brothers. Don't leave a single one for them."
"Don't self-destruct, we might harm our own."
"Kill them... Kill..."
Tens of thousands of monsters roared in unison.
Their momentum shook the heavens.
It sent chills down the spines of all the humans and Transcendents around.
Below, the hearts of the alliance overseers who were entangled with the B+ ranked monsters sank to the bottom.
"How could this happen."
"How did you infiltrate..."
The B+ ranked monster, with its long hair flying wildly, mocked, "Of course, there's a traitor. You clearly know the answer, so why pretend not to understand?"
"..."
The alliance overseer fell silent.
The third phase for the monsters was to kill all visible Transcendents.
The hundreds of thousands of ordinary humans were no longer within their "hunting" range.
"This is as far as we go." Chen Yu, who had just copied two more abilities on the platform, noticed the change in the situation and dared not delay any further.
He immediately rushed to his parents, one in each arm, and headed for the spiral staircase beneath the platform: "Translator, grab my sister and follow me!"
"Oh, okay."
The girl nodded repeatedly, exchanged glances with Chen, and picked her up to follow.
"Hold on tight, don't fall off," the girl cautioned.
"No problem. Don't worry," Chen reassured the girl, casually scratching Li Yao's chest.
"...ow?"
She caught nothing.
Frowning deeply, she pushed inwards again.
Still nothing.
'No wonder she looked so flat,' Chen thought, narrowing her eyes.

Her mind wandered: 'My future brother or sister seems to be quite wealthy. Both fish ponds are quite deep…'
They dashed to the bottom of the staircase.
Chen Yu indeed saw an "exit."
That was the break between the 999th and 1000th floors of the Sky-reaching Tower.
Looking down, he could see layers upon layers of dark clouds.
However, he couldn't feel happy.
Because it looked like the group of monsters had anticipated that someone would try to escape from below.
At the exit, a man and a woman, both fully armed, watched them coldly.
And they had also set up the same red barriers as "above."
The man, dressed in proctor's uniform.
The woman, sitting cross-legged, maintaining the formation.
"Stop right there," the man said as he pulled out two heavy shotgun, aiming them straight at Chen Yu's head: "I don't want to waste bullets. All of you, get lost."
Chen, lying on the girl's back, quickly got down and, using the same trick, controlled the change of her title above her head: "Hey, we're family."
"!!!" Li Yao was taken aback and instinctively stepped away from Chen.
But the man blocking the way remained unresponsive, simply aiming his gun at Chen: "Get lost. Who's family with you? None of us involved in this mission planned to come out alive. Last warning, get lost. Three, two..."
"Go, go, go!" Chen Yu immediately raised his hands in surrender, retreating step by step.
He didn't want to risk his family being harmed in a chaotic battle.
After exchanging a glance with Li Yao, the two of them led the three members of the Chen family back to the edge of the platform before, without another word, they burst forth with their abilities and fought their way back to the exit!
The male protector monster wasn't surprised at all, aim and firing fiercely at them!
"Bang, bang, bang, bang—"
"Bang, bang—"
The bullets flying in this tight space were hard to avoid.
Chen Yu and Li Yao were both hit on the spot.
Bursts of "brilliant" blood blossomed.
But the sturdy physique of the Sixth-Level Counter-Death Technique Transcendents meant that both of them only suffered minor injuries that didn't affect their combat capabilities for what was to come.
"If you're seeking death," the man also discarded the empty shotgun, activated a more powerful Body Refinement Secret Skill, and fearlessly faced the two: "then don't blame me."
However, very soon, Chen Yu only managed to swing his sword once (without landing a hit), and the rest of the time, he just watched the action.
He saw Li Yao and the man in a simple 1V1.
The girl, with her long hair dancing and swift movements, performed a "Welcoming Spring Surge" flip to get behind the man and hit him with consecutive punches.
"Pop, pop, pop—"
The man groaned, teeth gritted, swinging a fist to the left.
But the girl deflected the force with a slap with her right hand.
Then the man raised his leg to knee-strike!
The girl countered with a block and followed with a 360° spinning low sweep.
"Thud!"
The man stumbled, terror-stricken as he backed away, his mind in turmoil.
He was clearly a level above her in strength.
But in just half a second of contact, it was he who was on the losing end...
'A martial arts grandmaster!'
The man's expression turned extremely ugly as he reached into his coat, attempting to pull out another firearm, only for the girl to catch up with him and kick the inside of his wrist with the tip of her shoe.
"Bang!"
The man's arm immediately went numb and weak.
He dropped his firearm.
The girl, expressionless, continued to pursue her advantage.
"Slap!" Palm whip.
"Thud!" Straight punch to the abdomen.
"Slap—Bang!" Defensive slap, followed by a jab! Her fingertips penetrated the left eye socket of the man.
"Ahhh..."
In agony, the man stumbled back, screaming.
Seizing the chance, the girl sprung up, gaining the high ground, and launched a series of kicks!
Sweep-kick to the back of the head.
Heel-strike to the forehead.
Side-kick to the throat.
Hammer kick to the top of the head.
She attacked only the vital spots, low not high.
All strikes were aimed at the man's vulnerabilities.
"Thud!"
The last kick struck the groin.
"Aaah!!!" The man completely collapsed, his body shaking.
"This is it." The girl's eyes shone brightly, her right hand swift as lighting, executing an almost perfect textbook martial art move—the "Jab"—right to the man's throat.
"Pur-ch—"
It went through the back of his hand.
"...Gurgle... gurgle..." The man trembled as he clutched at Li Yao's hand, trying to stem the flow of blood.
