"Roar—" Just as Lin Yi finished speaking, a familiar roar echoed across the open space.
At that moment, a terrifying scene unfolded.
The Frozen Men, who had been lying on the ground waiting to be burned, suddenly stood up with stiff bodies. These individuals, whose faces had turned blue, began to undergo Corpseification simultaneously!
At this moment, the eyes of the Corpseified Frozen Men were filled with blood-red color, and each Zombie wore a fierce expression, as if they were ready to tear apart every human body in sight, completely unlike those who had just undergone Corpseification and were still in a daze.
Suddenly, tens of thousands of Zombies appeared in the vast square, catching Lin Yi off guard. Fortunately, everyone was seasoned warriors; in an instant, they changed their marching formation and began firing!
Brilliant Laser Beams accompanied by orange-yellow armor-piercing rounds roared toward the horde of Zombies, which had gathered together and became the perfect target.
"Bang—" The first Zombie was instantly transformed into a mist of blood and flesh under the barrage of bullets.
"Bang bang bang—" Bullets screamed through the air, piercing through the heads of the Zombies at lightning speed.
The Zombies began to roar, pounding their bodies and jumping continuously. These newly Corpseified Zombies displayed combat abilities comparable to special forces, swiftly dodging bullets!
Lin Yi's eyelids twitched; he couldn't afford to worry about the only surviving middle-aged man. He immediately began directing everyone to counterattack. The Zombies were getting too close; they would ultimately need to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
"Sea. Purification Technique!" In this situation with a massive gathering of Zombies, Hai's Purification Technique was clearly more effective than Lin Yi's Blade Qi.
As soon as Lin Yi's words fell, Lulu unleashed her dark energy first. She gathered her dark energy into a wall that rolled continuously, firmly blocking one side from the Zombies.
At that moment, a blazing and sacred light illuminated the entire square; it was the Sea God Technique being cast.
Hai and Lulu had become increasingly proficient at using their respective Abilities after multiple uses and could almost instantly unleash large-scale Abilities!
Renesmee was also unwilling to fall behind; Nicolas remained steadfastly by her side for protection. Renesmee focused intently on casting her Frozen Domain.
The humidity here was denser compared to pure desert areas. However, it was still far from sufficient for Renesmee's needs. Casting her Frozen Domain became somewhat difficult; after merely summoning a thin layer of dark clouds, she was already drenched in sweat. Nicolas felt pained for her and wished he could interrupt her from continuing to cast Frozen Domain.
Lin Yi had led a squad to firmly block the oncoming horde of Zombies. Although these Zombies were formidable, they were still no match for Lin Yi.
Having one foot already in the realm of Nine-Star Combat Power, Lin Yi's figure seemed to vanish. Those Zombies attempting to pounce on him fell one after another, each with a clean and smooth cut across their necks.
At that moment, Lin Yi was like a reaper from hell, relentlessly harvesting the lives of these Zombies. Seeing Lin Yi personally slay the enemies, the others wasted no time and immediately joined the sudden battle.
Just then, Lin Yi felt a surge of scorching energy descending upon him. Instinctively, he retreated backward, avoiding the milky-white searing energy. The Sea God Technique posed a clear threat to Lin Yi; he felt an instinctive fear. Although this power did not pose a life-threatening danger to him, being caught in it would be exceptionally uncomfortable.
The speed at which the sea unleashed its power was quite impressive. The milky-white sphere exploded as if detonated, covering two-thirds of the Zombies in its wake.
“Roar—”
“Grrr—”
In that instant when the sphere enveloped the horde of Zombies, a chorus of wails erupted from within them. It felt as if this place had transformed into a hellish sea of blood, filled with piercing and unwilling cries.
The Zombies quickly turned into streams of black mist, ultimately neutralizing and vanishing within the milky-white divine light. After executing this Divine Technique, the sea swayed slightly, nearly losing balance. Fortunately, Reiko and Jones were nearby to support her.
As soon as the Sea God Technique was completed, Renesmee was already prepared. A bone-chilling cold swept through everyone’s bodies, transforming the earlier heat into swirling snowflakes. However, these snowflakes were minuscule, resembling budding flower buds.
“Congeal!” With Renesmee's delicate shout, a whirlwind gathered the swirling snowflakes together, instantly freezing all the Zombies attempting to charge forward!
Just as these Zombies became completely Frozen Men, Lin Yi's figure moved swiftly toward them. Suddenly, his face flushed crimson, and his arm expanded dramatically.
In the next moment, a blurred flash of blade light shot forth from Lin Yi's Silver Soul Battle Blade, releasing a narrow Blade Qi.
With a whoosh, the Blade Qi darted forward with agile speed and sliced through the immobile Zombies!
The sound of shattering echoed as those Ice Sculpture-like Zombies were shredded by the Blade Qi, turning into a pile of crushed ice.
With that, Hai eliminated two-thirds of the Zombies on one side, while Lin Yi and Renesmee joined forces to slice the remaining third of the Zombies into fragments.
However, things were not as favorable for Lulu. Although her dark energy blocked the Zombies' advance, it posed little threat to them. They couldn't break through Lulu's defenses, but they also didn't pose any real danger.
At this moment, the two who had unleashed their wide-range attacks were exhausted and could no longer continue.
"Lulu, hold on!" Lin Yi urged. Despite the low combat power of these Zombies, if they all charged at once, it would significantly impact his team. He couldn't afford to be careless; he wouldn't let a scene where ants could take down an elephant occur.
"Above Six-Star, follow me and kill!" With a flash of his blade, Lin Yi plunged directly into the horde of Zombies.
Half of the Zombies had already been eliminated, but there were still tens of thousands beneath him. Even if they stood still to fight, ordinary soldiers wouldn't know how long it would take to wipe out all these Zombies.
"Swish swish—" As Lin Yi's voice fell, dozens of figures leaped into the Zombie crowd. These individuals were all highly skilled fighters, making it easy to deal with Zombies that hadn't even reached Star-Level Combat Power.
"Kill—" Lin Yi jumped into the mass of Zombies and executed a spin on the spot. A scorching Blade Qi shot forth from his blade with a whoosh. This Blade Qi formed a circular crescent shape and instantly spread outwards.
With one strike, over a thousand Zombies were cleaved in half. Lin Yi didn't stop; after one slash, he leaped again into an even denser area of Zombies.
He continuously unleashed the same technique, sending forth waves of Blade Qi that rapidly diminished the number of Zombies at a terrifying speed.
While others barely managed to slay a thousand, Lin Yi had already cut down over five thousand Zombies. However, fatigue finally showed on his face. The Blade Qi was indeed sharp, especially when paired with the single crystal Silver Soul Silver Soul Battle Blade, which enhanced his power immensely. Yet Lin Yi's strength was still limited.
Despite this, Lin Yi did not withdraw from battle. He continued to wield his Silver Soul Battle Blade, hacking down the Zombies that attempted to feast on him. Although his killing speed had significantly slowed, it did not affect his state of mind.
Lin Yi understood better than anyone that without the tempering of iron and blood, it was difficult to improve combat power. Especially for someone like him who was nearing peak strength; advancing even a step was exceptionally challenging. He needed to seize every opportunity to continuously improve himself.
Seeing that the number of Zombies had suddenly decreased by half, the others no longer worried about any issues. Even those whose combat power fell short of Six-Star charged in.
Lin Yi noticed this but ultimately did not refuse them. He didn't want to dampen everyone's fighting spirit. Moreover, for mercenaries like them, only by slaying Zombies and achieving results would they earn rewards; naturally, Lin Yi wouldn't hinder others from making a profit.
It felt as if he had returned to a time when his combat power was still quite ordinary. Lin Yi swung his "Silver Soul" with abandon, experiencing the inexplicable thrill each time the Silver Soul Battle Blade struck the body of a Zombie.
“Shh—”
“Shh—”
Though monotonous, the sound was like a drumbeat, repeatedly stimulating Lin Yi's heart and boiling his blood.
Killing unleashed the deepest fears buried within humanity. Yet, Lin Yi reveled in this sensation, immersed in the exhilarating feeling of looking down upon all living beings.
He lost track of how many strikes he had made or how much cold blood had splattered onto him. To his surprise, he realized that all the Zombies had been slain.
Tens of thousands of Zombies—Lin Yi had cut them all down at minimal cost! He glanced at the time and found that only half an hour had passed.
“Yi, you were terrifying just now, like a demon!” At some point, Li Qiweng had floated to Lin Yi's side, her face filled with concern.
Lin Yi looked around and noticed that he was already drenched in reddish-brown blood; even his face was splattered with gore, resembling a demon emerging from a sea of blood.
Reflecting on his recent actions, a wave of fear suddenly washed over Lin Yi. With power far exceeding that of ordinary people but a mindset still rooted in normalcy, he worried that if this continued, he might truly become nothing more than a killing machine.
