The crimson light gleamed like the scythe of a reaper from hell, and with just one strike, it directly caused thousands of Zombies to fall. If it weren't for several Seven-Star Level Combat Power Zombies hidden in the depths who emerged to block the attack with their alloy staffs, this Blade Qi might have slain even more Zombies. However, despite their seemingly effortless defense, the well-forged alloy staffs were shattered, and each of them sustained varying degrees of injury.
At that moment, Li Qiweng had already reached Lin Yi's side. Although she sensed that Lin Yi had broken through, she knew that the maximum combat power of the War God Suit could only elevate a person's fighting ability to the Eight-Star Peak. Yet, Lin Yi's recent performance was so striking that anyone unaware would think he had already reached the Nine-Star Level.
"When did you break through?" Last night, Lin Yi had been injured, and she hadn't paid much attention. However, she vaguely thought it must be related to the changes that occurred when Lulu treated his wounds.
Lin Yi smiled proudly and said, "You should have guessed it; it's all thanks to Lulu. Last night, not only did she heal my injuries, but she also stimulated my strength to break through. I now possess the combat power of an initial Eight-Star Level. With this War God Suit, I can unleash power like what you just saw."
"Well, according to the unspoken rules of engagement, Super Experts at Nine-Star Combat Power generally do not appear at this level of combat. So we have quite an advantage," Li Qiweng replied with a smile, her earlier worries dissipating somewhat.
Eliminating Zombies is everyone's responsibility. However, it is also a highly dangerous task. While Li Qiweng was not afraid of death, she feared witnessing the death of those she loved.
Lin Yi was unaware of Li Qiweng's thoughts; at this moment, a large group of Zombies was gathering again, and he had to prepare for battle.
Although Lin Yi had continuously slain thousands of Zombies, these fearless creatures would still inflict damage on humanity even if they perished in the process.
With his strength nearing the Nine-Star Level, Lin Yi moved as if in an empty space and appeared right in front of five Seven-Star Zombies. According to Lin Yi's estimation, these Zombies that had awakened their intelligence should fear his power. Yet from their pale eyes, he saw a determination to fight to the death. Perhaps they had missions as well. Lin Yi thought as the Silver Soul Battle Blade glimmered with light.
With a swift motion, this blade light—several times stronger than before—sliced through one Seven-Star Zombie in front of him from head to toe.
Everything happened too quickly for these Zombies to react. They might still be in shock from the previous battle. However, when their companion's cold black blood splattered onto the remaining Seven-Star Zombies' heads, they finally understood Lin Yi's terror. Perhaps he was no different from a Nine-Star Level expert now—except for lacking that elusive special ability.
"Scatter!" one Zombie spoke human words. They realized that staying together would ultimately lead to their demise at the hands of this terrifying enemy; perhaps if they scattered, there would still be hope.
Lin Yi smirked slightly, a cruel glint in his eyes. He felt his surging power and knew he needed to unleash it!
With a whoosh sound, as one Zombie moved, Lin Yi's blade light followed closely behind and severed its head cleanly. The life force of a Seven-Star Level Zombie was incredibly resilient. Although Lin Yi had decapitated it with one strike, it had not yet fully died; it stared at Lin Yi in disbelief while waiting for death's arrival.
Lin Yi had no interest in gazing at that Zombie's rotting face; after killing one Zombie, he leaped toward another one without even using Silver Soul this time and threw a punch directly at it.
With a dull thud, it sounded as if a ceramic jar filled with paste had shattered, black liquid shooting in one direction, while the corpse of the Zombie fell to the ground with a thump.
In just three seconds, Lin Yi had directly slain three Seven-Star Zombies, something unimaginable in the past.
Without waiting for the crowd's cheers, Lin Yi sprinted toward the fourth Zombie. Although this Seven-Star Zombie was a second slower to react, it was still fast enough to cover a hundred meters in two seconds.
At that moment, Lin Yi appeared to the onlookers as if he possessed the ability to traverse through space. In an instant, after killing the third Zombie, he was already in front of the fourth.
The Zombie's eyes caught sight of Lin Yi, but to it, he resembled an ancient deity, towering above. The legs covered in black War God Suit approached with thunderous speed. In the next moment, without any sound, Lin Yi kicked the Zombie's head into the air, causing it to explode. Fragments scattered and fell to the ground, leaving no trace behind as if it had never existed.
As the fourth Zombie fell lifelessly, the fifth had already run three hundred meters away. Just as it was about to engage with another Seven-Star Zombie, Lin Yi's devilish figure reappeared.
Even the most brutal training had never instilled such fear in it. The High-Level Zombies that trained them were terrifying enough, but when it met Lin Yi's gaze, it felt as if its entire existence was shrouded in darkness.
A soft "thud" echoed eerily as the Zombie's head exploded from within, as if a bomb had been planted inside its skull.
Most witnesses were baffled by how this Zombie had died; however, those who understood felt a deep-seated fear. This was an extreme manifestation of Psychic Power—just a glance from Lin Yi could lead to death.
While reaching Star-Level Combat Power often resulted in some degree of Psychic Power, not everyone’s Psychic Power matched their Star Level. As an ethereal ability, very few could use Psychic Power to kill a Seven-Star Zombie; even among Nine-Star levels, such occurrences were rare.
Lin Yi didn’t dwell on it; his earlier action had been a spur-of-the-moment decision. In this world, thoughts traveled faster than anything else. To shock these Zombies with absolute strength, he used his Psychic Power to explode the head of a Zombie from a hundred meters away.
However, after this strike, he felt a slight confusion in his mind—a result of overusing his Psychic Power. But at that moment, having already killed ten Seven-Star Zombies single-handedly, he saw no need to push himself further.
Alyah and the bodyguard had reached Eight-Star level combat power. While they couldn’t match Lin Yi’s speed against the remaining Seven-Star Zombies, they were still dispatching them effortlessly.
“Brothers! Whether you end up living in mansions or sleeping on the streets depends on your own efforts! These Zombies are at their last gasp; as long as you work hard, a glorious future awaits you!” Lin Yi soared ten meters into the air with his War God Suit and shouted so that every ear could hear him.
With his current strength, he could likely wipe out all these Zombies by himself. However, he understood that what the team truly needed was training to survive longer in the future!
"Kill!"
"Annihilate these Zombies!" Everyone was filled with fervor, and given the self-serving nature of this task, they charged forward without hesitation.
In that moment, the nearly five thousand Mercenaries surged like an unstoppable tide into the depths of the Zombie Army. However, the combat power of these Zombies should not be underestimated. Although the High-Level Combat Power had been nearly wiped out by Lin Yi and his companions, the mid-tier threats still posed a significant danger.
Pachy and Jian, equipped with the War God Suit, had achieved Six-Star combat power. The remaining Seven-Star Level Combat Power Zombies were entangled with Alyah and others, leaving Pachy and Jian free to maneuver without pressure.
The two worked in perfect harmony, systematically slaying mid-tier Zombies. Influenced by Lin Yi, they primarily wielded long blades; in chaotic battles, using laser weapons could easily harm their own allies.
At that moment, a large amount of moisture suddenly gathered in the previously sweltering air. Lin Yi squinted; it was Renesmee preparing to unleash her Frozen Domain. Meanwhile, Nicolas was busy eliminating Zombies attempting to interrupt Renesmee. Nicolas's combat strength had grown increasingly formidable; with the War God Suit, even Four-Star Combat Power Zombies were no match for him. He could deliver fatal blows to Five-Star Combat Power Zombies thanks to his incredible speed.
As for Witerson II and his group, their combat power ranged from Three-Star to Five-Star. They relied on each other and managed to push back a group of mid-tier Zombies.
On Wang Zijun's side, the main forces were Alyah and a man who primarily supported her by eliminating enemies encroaching on Wang Zijun. Throughout the battle, Wang Zijun had not lifted a finger, appearing more like an observer than a participant.
Now that the Zombie offensive had been broken, Lin Yi shouted out and retreated to the back. His gaze was drawn to a flash of bright red among the countless figures; it was Li Qiweng, who had transformed her suit into a dazzling crimson. Even from a distance, Lin Yi could see her clearly.
This was an unprecedentedly exhilarating battle; everyone seemed to be fueled with adrenaline as they charged forward. To them, these Zombies were no longer demons but rather opportunities for Contribution Points that promised a brighter future!
