The words caused everyone present to be startled.
They sized up the newcomer.
He had sharp sword-like brows and bright, starry eyes. His pair of melancholic, clear eyes added to the charm of a mature man. A wine gourd hung from his waist, indicating he was a lover of wine. A long sword also hung from his waist, marking him as a master swordsman.
As everyone sensed him carefully, they revealed looks of surprise.
They could not discern his cultivation level, indicating that this person was stronger than them.
Upon realizing a powerful figure had arrived, everyone enthusiastically extended greetings.
“Esteemed sir, please have a seat!”
“Esteemed sir, allow me to brief you on the current situation.”
“We have just finished scanning with our sensory scanners. The current flock of Iron Beak Eagles numbers around a hundred thousand. The lowest are second-tier ferocious beasts, with some elites being third, fourth, or even fifth-tier. We have not yet found any beasts above fifth-tier.”
“However, the leaders often hide themselves, either disguised as ordinary beasts or hidden in secret locations, making them extremely difficult to find.”
“We also have not yet located the beasts’ leader.”
Zhou Yang furrowed his brow slightly and said, “There are too many ferocious beasts. Even I cannot guarantee that I can kill them all.”
Everyone was slightly stunned. This person claimed he couldn’t guarantee killing them all, which implied that with some effort, they could be eliminated?
Who was this person? Even a seventh-tier expert would not dare to make such a bold claim.
At this moment, a female flight attendant suddenly recognized the Eldest Senior Brother.
“You are Zhou Yang!”
Perhaps they had not heard the name Zhou Yang before, but it had become well-known in the past few days.
The Sword God had slaughtered the director of the Enforcement Bureau’s headquarters and left unharmed, all to save Zhou Yang.
After the incident, some people online delved into the profiles of Zhou Yang and the Sword God, and Zhou Yang’s photo was also found.
The female flight attendant was very interested in this matter and had participated in the online investigation, which was how she recognized Zhou Yang.
Upon hearing it was Zhou Yang, everyone felt relieved.
Zhou Yang was a seventh-tier expert! With him intervening, this situation was surely under control.
At this time, Lin Yu’s clone walked over and, seeing his Eldest Senior Brother was still as rash as ever, shook his head slightly.
If it were him, he would absolutely not undertake something he wasn’t sure he could accomplish.
Just then, a giant eagle-like beast with iron-like feathers shot towards the train from outside.
This beast was easily thirty meters long, its feathers shimmering with a metallic sheen.
“How did the leader of these beasts appear?” everyone exclaimed in surprise, believing this to be the leader but still feeling perplexed.
Zhou Yang said, “Open the train door, I will go out and slay this brute!”
Everyone rejoiced and was about to open the door.
Lin Yu’s clone quickly grabbed the Eldest Senior Brother and whispered, “Eldest Senior Brother, wait a moment!”
“No need…” but as the words left his mouth, he remembered the events of the past few days. He fell silent for a moment and then nodded.
The others, not understanding, looked at them. Zhou Yang said, “Wait a moment!”
The others dared not rush and could only wait.
*Clang, clang, clang!*
The giant eagles outside repeatedly rammed against the train, causing it to shake violently. The passengers inside looked out with worried expressions.
“Oh no, they are surrounding us!” someone shouted.
Lin Yu, using his clone’s perspective, had been observing the outside, searching for the key. With the shared vision of three clones, his observational ability was not weak.
Suddenly, a tiny figure caught his eye. He yelled, “Found it!”
“Eldest Senior Brother, did you see that small bird?” Lin Yu shouted, pointing towards a small bird moving swiftly within the flock.
The Eldest Senior Brother’s eyesight was even better than Lin Yu’s. He quickly spotted the small bird Lin Yu mentioned. He narrowed his eyes, looking at this small bird that was different from the others, and said with a smile:
“Junior Brother, your observational skills are truly remarkable! I’ll go and slay it now!”
“Eldest Senior Brother, please be careful!”
“Open the train door!” the Eldest Senior Brother commanded.
Without hesitation, everyone quickly opened the door.
The Eldest Senior Brother stepped across the threshold and appeared outside the train, hovering in mid-air. He slowly drew the long sword from his waist.
Suddenly, a flash of electricity appeared beneath his feet, and he instantly vanished.
The onlookers only saw a blue arc of lightning streak past, and Zhou Yang was no longer in his original spot.
Electric Light Three Thousand Swords!
In a flash of electric light, he had already unleashed dozens of sword strikes, instantly slitting the throats of hundreds of eagle-like beasts before him.
*Screeeech!*
Piercing cries echoed as the agitated beasts surged towards the Eldest Senior Brother.
However, the Eldest Senior Brother was too fast. His figure was invisible to the naked eye as he moved with agility amidst them, as if swimming in water.
Yet, if one looked closely, they would notice his breathing had become rapid. This was clearly a skill of immense explosive power, not sustainable for long.
However, with his target in sight, a swift conclusion was the fastest approach.
Suddenly, a sword light sliced through the void, cleaving through dozens of ferocious birds along its path.
*Boom!*
The sword light flashed again, and blood splattered.
The small bird, which had been moving rapidly through the flock, suddenly froze. Its pupils widened, and it looked down at the blood gushing from its neck.
With a *thump*, its head drooped, and it was held in Zhou Yang’s hand.
He turned, and electric light flashed beneath his feet once more. The next moment, he had already crossed the flock and was at the train door.
Back in the cockpit, the Eldest Senior Brother presented the small bird and said, “Kill it!”
Everyone was so shocked they couldn’t speak.
He killed it so easily?
How long did it take, from start to finish?
This was too fast!
Amazing! The crowd was shocked, sighing in admiration.
“You are truly incredible! Your movements are as swift as lightning. You are indeed a worthy disciple of the Sword God, we are full of admiration!”
“We are immensely grateful to you. It is our honor to have you here.”
“Do you have any commands for us? Please, do not hesitate to tell me.”
At this moment, someone pointed out the window and shouted, “Look, they’re retreating!”
Indeed, with the leader’s death, all the ferocious birds retreated.
Seeing this, Lin Yu silently recalled his clones. The Eldest Senior Brother was still conversing with them, but Lin Yu was no longer interested in the specifics.
However, when the Eldest Senior Brother returned, he produced several tickets and said:
“Take these three train tickets. As long as you are within human territory, you can contact them to pick you up. This applies to both the wilderness and cities.”
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback: “Eldest Senior Brother, I don’t need them.”
“Take them. My flying speed isn’t much slower than the train’s, so I don’t need them.”
The Eldest Senior Brother placed the tickets on the table, then unconsciously touched his wine gourd. The craving for wine in his belly made him restless, making him anxious to return to the academy for a hearty drink.
He fidgeted restlessly like a child with hyperactive disorder.
Just then, a sweet-looking flight attendant approached with a smile.
She pushed a meal cart and stopped in front of their seats, bowing slightly.
“Mr. Zhou Yang, thank you for saving this train. This is a simple meal specially prepared by our company to express our gratitude. Please enjoy.”
“Is there any wine?” the Eldest Senior Brother blurted out instinctively, but then, remembering he couldn’t drink at this time, he quickly covered his mouth: “A slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue, my apologies!”
The flight attendant smiled and said, “There is no wine on the train, but there is a beverage that has the flavor of wine and the aroma of milk, which we believe you will enjoy.”
“What is it?”
“Milk beer!”
Milk beer?
Lin Yu knew of this beverage, made from fermented yogurt and hops. It tasted sweet and sour, with very little alcohol.
The Eldest Senior Brother smiled and said, “Since it’s a beverage, bring it quickly!”
He touched his wine gourd at his waist, then his stomach. The craving for wine in his belly could wait no longer.
The flight attendant politely served a table full of dishes and milk beer, then smiled and departed.
On their table was a spread of dishes, both meat and vegetable, as abundant as a banquet in a restaurant.
“These people on the train are truly humble. This is called a simple meal? Haha, let me try the milk beer first to see what it tastes like?”
The Eldest Senior Brother opened a bottle of milk beer and gulped it down.
After finishing one bottle, he patted his stomach and said:
“The taste is okay, better than nothing, I suppose!”
Lin Yu also took a sip. It indeed tasted more like a beverage, with a sweet and sour flavor and very little alcohol. It was a bit scratchy on the throat, and drinking too much would make one uncomfortable.
While the two of them feasted, the passengers around them suffered.
They smelled the aroma and watched the two eat heartily. How could they be in good spirits? Some, their stomachs rumbling with hunger, secretly took out a box of biscuits and chewed them like tasteless cardboard.
Everyone cried inwardly: What sin did I commit to deserve such a frustrating experience!
