Only I Am A Reader

One day, murim-ins received a great beckoning out of nowhere… Terrifying monsters had invaded! Humans were no longer the dominant species of the world!

All kinds of Martial Artists and normal people had peacefully attended the great event occurring once every decade, but not all of them managed to go back. To make matters worse, those that managed to survive only had a few words to say.

The Great Mount Hua Sect had fallen!

One of the ten great sects was almost completely destroyed under the assault of alien creatures! People in the vicinity quickly confirmed that it was just an exaggerated word of mouth, but that did little to suppress the worry that already spread out. Even gossip had to have some truth to it!

At the surface, the brave and courageous Martial Artist of Mount Hua as well as the vast forces had managed to valiantly exterminate the unknown monsters, but at what cost?

Not only was the great Mount Hua in complete ruins, but many well-known powerhouses had also ended up perishing in the fight for survival! Countless forces lost their top figures between day and night. Although everything still seemed to operate normally for the time being, almost everyone could tell that the outbreak of chaos was near!

Even the already dangerous Murim couldn't help being shaken by the threat. It was okay if some random person in the street died from 'disrespecting' Martial Artists, or if the Black Faction ransacked a few villages. However, the unknown was always scary!

If even the place where a large fraction of Murim's strength was gathered ended up in pieces, what was the rest of the people supposed to do? It didn't take long for the answer to be revealed!

'It's starting.'

Monsters randomly appearing everywhere! Strange cracks opening up around populated areas! The rumors and news were no longer just expectations! Chaos had truly descended upon Murim!

However, just when the whole world thought it was doomed… They appeared! Martial Artists clad in black robes and armed with scarlet Internal Energy! The long-forgotten 'demons' of the Heavenly Strength Society had emerged from hiding in order to stand up to the foreign threat!

Kyaaaa! Waaa!

Fire ate up the houses of Shan Yu village as screams resonated through the sights of ruin. Large green-skinned monsters were holding large trees like clubs, bringing about even more destruction.

Seeing their homes, their friends, and family reduced to rubble alike, the helpless villagers could do nothing but pray, pray that…

"They…"

Szszzaappp!

A spear covered in deathly lightning flew over from afar, exploding with dozens of electric snakes, devouring the surrounding green-skinned monsters and turning them into a crisp!

"They are here!"

"The Demon Hunting Squad is here!"

The familiar pitch-black robes inscribed with silver dragons returned the glow back to the villagers' lifeless eyes. They could still be saved!

Gwhahah! Chiweek!

Fraaaaaa!

The flames eating away at the debris suddenly started growing stronger. However, rather than clinging back to its nest, it all flew towards one of the four figures running away from afar. With a sword drawn back to the maximum, waiting for the perfect moment, Cheon Yong stabbed the fire pillar toward the groaning monsters!

The green-skinned monsters intelligently got rid of the trees in their hands, dispersing around to avoid the threat of the oncoming flame, but that wasn't the end of the attack either!

Woooo!

The already disturbed wind raged as it followed the green eastern blade's lead, conjoining around the fire pillar! The cry of the Roc and the Phoenix resonated as a flaming storm broke out!

Chiweeek!

The green-skinned monsters screamed out in alert. Although this wasn't enough to bring them down, the fire sizzled as it ate away at their skin, putting them in a state of endless pain!

Chiweee!

"Now!"

Wind raced again to chase the flame away from the building and the people as the oncoming figures finally became distinguishable to the villagers…

"We are saved!"

"It's the Four Heavenly Beasts!"

'It never gets old somehow.'

Leo felt the rush coming from people calling out their new nicknames as he drew out the White Tiger, sending the head of an Orc flying. Things really had been too chaotic during the last few months.

Blades of fire soared from the flame eating away at the green-skinned monsters, stabbing down at their hearts as Yeon directly took care of one of them. This green horde was mostly made up of 1st rate monsters with even Peak ones mixed within. However, this was no longer a threat to their little group!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The four of them engaged the monsters in close combat, turning them into pieces as they cut away at their vitals with experience. The side that had the numerical advantage was obvious, but it was basically just a one-sided massacre!

Chiwwweek!

A hideous cry resounded as two Peak-level orcs broke out from the middle of their horde, heading directly towards Leo. The other three were busy dealing with their own enemies, so he was on his own.

'It's a shame…'

Throwing a glance at the Silver Dragon embedded in the center of the village, Leo could only sigh as he firmly grabbed hold of the White Tiger. He easily cut away half of the Orc Chief's hand, completely ignoring the other Orc's attack…

'I really wanted to try it out.'

Splicchh!

As the giant green arm fell down, a sanguine aura flowed out of his palm. A scarlet blade went through the Orc's palm, making it look more miserable than its counterpart.

Chiwwee!

This was the Sword Qi! Even without a weapon in hand, Peak Martial Artists weren't without options!

"Ho!"

Swish!

Leo was clearly capable of taking down opponents with just a few more extra seconds, but the ominous Black Heaven Jade's blade already did his job, severing the distracted monsters' heads. The monsters' force was obviously overkill for a village like this, but…

"Let's quickly take care of this!"

The invaders stood no chance against the Heavenly Strength Society's resistance!
