The Giant Zombie was known for its strength, but its speed was not to be underestimated, at least not compared to Old Black from the Five-Star Combat Power. In battles among high-level fighters, even a slight edge in speed could provide a significant advantage.
The six Zombies, originally arranged in a triangular formation for both offense and defense, would have shown fear if they had human thoughts. However, they merely paused for a moment before the three Giant Zombies on the outside swung their Iron Rods at Lin Yi, who stood before them. These Zombies had become considerably stronger, approaching Four-Star levels. If Lin Yi had only possessed Five-Star Combat Power after taking the Potential Gene Drug earlier, he would have been crushed into a pile of meat paste by these Zombies.
Three iron rods came crashing down towards Lin Yi with tremendous force, and the Zombies believed that if Lin Yi was hit by this strike, even his tough body would be reduced to scrap!
With a whoosh, the three gusts of wind rushed toward the three Lin Yis in an instant.
After the iron rods struck, the three Lin Yis vanished completely. However, the three Zombies had anticipated this; their Iron Rods showed no signs of stopping as they aimed directly at the last remaining Lin Yi. With four Lin Yis in total, one of them had to be real!
The three iron rods shot forward like thunder, accompanied by a fierce wind directed straight at Lin Yi. In the next moment, an unbelievable scene unfolded: what they thought was the fourth Lin Yi turned out to be another illusion as the iron rods passed right through him!
The outer three Zombies were stunned. Although their intelligence was not fully developed, they understood that if they couldn't kill their enemy, they would only end up being killed themselves!
A series of piercing sounds echoed as sharp blades cut through flesh in an instant. The attacking outer three Zombies felt a sharp force slice through their waists, and then their upper bodies began to slide downward. Meanwhile, Lin Yi had mysteriously appeared in the midst of the six Zombies. He crouched low with a knife in hand, his face twisted in a fierce expression.
"Indeed a clever tactic—creating four illusions to confuse the enemy and then breaking through their defenses to infiltrate their ranks. In the end, he even unleashed Blade Qi to slice through all six Zombies!" Just as Lin Yi reveled in his success, a faint voice drifted into his ear.
"Who?" Lin Yi shivered involuntarily; if someone were near him, he should have sensed it. But now that someone had spoken, he couldn't even pinpoint their exact location.
There weren't many searchlights illuminating the base of the mountain, leaving the area dimly lit. Although Lin Yi's Psychic Power was strong enough to perceive minute details, he still preferred using his eyes. He quickly scanned his surroundings and noticed several Zombies entangled with Mercenaries but saw nothing unusual.
Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a sharp pain in his forehead as an extremely dangerous aura locked onto him. It had been a long time since he encountered such a tricky situation; for a moment, he didn't know how to respond!
However, after months of honing his self-defense instincts, Lin Yi instinctively concentrated all his Psychic Power at that point on his forehead. He felt a tightening sensation there as if pressing down on his flesh. At that moment, his Psychic Power finally proved effective; he discerned that what was attacking him was actually a thin needle—a type used in Western Fencing!
The incoming thrust was momentarily halted by Lin Yi's powerful Psychic Power, allowing him just enough time to evade the first wave of attack!
In the next instant, Lin Yi pushed off from the ground with his right foot and twisted his waist forcefully, retreating several meters to the left! However, the intense sword energy still grazed his cheek painfully; he touched it and felt a mark but found no blood!
"Who are you!" With such a finely crafted weapon, Lin Yi could hardly associate the attacker with those grotesque, pus-covered Zombies.
"The one who will kill you!" The voice was piercingly sharp, sounding like metal scraping against metal in Lin Yi's ears.
At that moment, Lin Yi finally saw that the newcomer was a very thin person, completely wrapped in a linen robe, even his hands were covered with tattered cloth!
"Zhao Pei?" Lin Yi called out uncertainly. In his mind, the image of Zhao Pei flashed instantly; among all the Zombies, only Zhao Pei could match Lin Yi in strength.
"Hmph, don't try to be friendly!" The Thin Zombie paused for just a moment before lunging forward with his sword aimed directly at Lin Yi's forehead.
Lin Yi felt a tingling sensation on his face—a sign of danger. Without hesitation, he swung his sword to meet the attack. His Silver Soul was thicker than the Thin Zombie's sword strike, but the opponent's blade was longer. Because of this, the attack was swift and direct, aimed straight for Lin Yi's vital point!
"Hmph!" It had been a long time since Lin Yi encountered a true opponent, and he felt a thrill of excitement; this was a rare opportunity for training.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi's blade met the opponent's sword. Confident in his strength, he believed he could sever the opponent's sword with one strike and counterattack, at least taking off half of the opponent's head.
With a metallic clash, the slender sword that Lin Yi thought would break immediately twisted like a venomous snake and wrapped around Lin Yi's blade. The tip of the sword showed no sign of losing momentum as it lunged toward Lin Yi's arm like a snake flicking its tongue.
Lin Yi had never encountered such a situation before; his eyes widened in shock. He exerted force with his right hand to pull Silver Soul free from the entangled sword! But in the next moment, he realized he had underestimated the situation—he couldn't pull his blade out at all!
Suddenly, a chilling force surged toward Lin Yi's chest. If this hit landed, he would either die or be incapacitated for half a year! As danger approached rapidly, Lin Yi released Silver Soul and retreated frantically. Even so, he felt a jolt to his chest as a tremendous force struck him. Blood surged up from his insides to his throat. Lin Yi understood that sometimes one could rely solely on willpower; he held his breath and forced that blood back down.
Lin Yi had two Silver Souls; just as he retreated, the other Silver Soul flew from its sheath into his hand.
The Thin Zombie made minimal movements; he simply shook his sword hand lightly, causing the blade that had been wrapped around Silver Soul to straighten out instantly, making Silver Soul drop to the ground!
"Seven-Star Peak!" Lin Yi exclaimed softly. He knew that his opponent was stronger than him but not overwhelmingly so. His own combat power was nearing Seven-Star Peak, leading him to conclude that the opponent should also possess similar strength.
The opponent had no time to discuss combat power with Lin Yi. Just after the Thin Zombie had shaken off Silver Soul, it lunged at him like a persistent shadow. This time, its approach was straightforward, but there was an unmistakable hint of an eerie rhythm to its movements. Lin Yi dared not confront it head-on; he feared that his last weapon would be taken from him as well.
In the next moment, Lin Yi pushed his agility to the limit, and four images of himself appeared once again. However, this time he knew that one of them was his true self! The strength of this thin Zombie was too formidable for him to play tricks. He was betting that the opponent could not strike true every time; if that were the case, Lin Yi believed he would have enough time to counterattack!
"Trivial skills!" The Thin Zombie seemed to dismiss the four Lin Yis entirely, charging straight at one of them.
How is that possible! Lin Yi nearly shouted in disbelief; the opponent had instantly locked onto his true self! If it wasn't luck, then it must have powerful Psychic Power supporting its ability to see through illusions. Clearly, the latter possibility was far more likely.
Without hesitation, Lin Yi gripped his knife with both hands and swung it toward the thin figure. In that instant, his arm surged with strength as he summoned all his power, aiming to sever the opponent's slender sword with a single blow!
"Clang—" A distant sound echoed as Lin Yi struck down hard. But he quickly realized that the sword merely bent at an odd angle without breaking. In the next moment, he felt a rebound force from the blade; it was the sword trying to return to its original position.
The Thin Zombie's attack was blocked by Lin Yi, but its leg swept toward Lin Yi's side in the next instant. Lin Yi dared not be careless; using the force transmitted through the sword, he retreated several steps to avoid the strike!
"Huh!" After two consecutive attacks were neutralized by Lin Yi, the Thin Zombie steeled itself and suddenly surged forward at an incredible speed toward him!
At that moment, the Thin Zombie noticed a strange smile creeping at the corner of Lin Yi's mouth. Realizing something was amiss, he felt a prickling sensation on his back—a sign of extreme danger!
A Zombie with Seven-Star Peak combat power was not easy to deal with. Although its speed had reached such heights that it couldn't turn quickly enough to evade an attack from behind, its entire body twisted at an unnatural angle. The incoming strike passed cleanly through its shoulder instead of piercing through its neck directly!
