Chapter 730: Chapter 700: Turning the Tide (Middle)

At this moment, the trio’s speed was simply terrifying. With a Speed of over 200,000 points, even a Body Shaping Realm Martial Artist would have no hope of seeing them clearly under normal circumstances.

Even for a Divine Demon Realm expert, their motion-tracking abilities would be severely strained to keep up with such a pace.

At this terrifying Speed, Lin Xinghai and the others could cross several streets in the span of a single breath.

Under these circumstances, there was certainly no shortage of Mutated Zombies in the areas they passed through.

The Gauss Rifle Lin Xinghai held had an effective range of a full 1,000 meters, and its maximum range could even reach 2,000 meters.

Therefore, wherever Lin Xinghai passed, he would open fire on any Mutated Zombie that appeared within 1,500 meters of him.

He wouldn’t shoot at anything farther away. Although the maximum range could reach 2,000 meters, a bullet simply wouldn’t have enough kinetic energy to pierce a Mutated Zombie’s keratinous layer from that distance, even on a direct hit.

Even so, Lin Xinghai’s rate of fire was terrifyingly high, especially since he didn’t even spare the First and Second Level Mutated Zombies.

As a result, by the time Zuo Wenya and the others had run just a few city blocks, the number of Mutated Zombies Lin Xinghai had killed already reached 20, and that number was still climbing rapidly.

And they were only halfway to their destination. If Lin Xinghai maintained this rate of fire, he would kill nearly 40 Mutated Zombies just during their journey.

And these were just casual kills made while passing through. If Lin Xinghai got serious and actively sought out these Mutated Zombies to kill, what kind of effect would that have?

Just the thought of it made Zuo Wenya and Chen Yushi’s scalps tingle.

They realized just how terrifyingly lethal Lin Xinghai’s Gun Technique, combined with a Gauss Rifle, would be against those Low Level Mutated Zombies.

…

At an outpost three kilometers away, a fierce firefight was raging.

“Faster, faster! Don’t conserve ammo! Give me a full bombardment! Don’t let it get any closer!” Yang Junda, the outpost’s supreme commander, roared over the communication channel.

“Sir, it’s no use! The Armored Corpse’s Defense is too terrifying! It’s shrugging off our Mortar fire and charging straight at us!” the captain in charge of the artillery barrage shouted back.

“Dammit! Then have the Combat Robots carry High-Energy Bombs and blow it up! Even if you can’t injure it, use the blast wave to push it back! We have to hold out until we can evacuate the wounded!” Yang Junda bellowed as he strode toward a Mecha parked nearby.

“Mecha Squad, with me! Bring the iron chains! If we can’t break its Defense, we’ll use brute force! We have to tie it down!” he said, leaping into his Mecha and leading the charge.

However, all of Yang Junda’s efforts seemed to be in vain. The Armored Corpse completely ignored the bomb blasts, its thick keratinous layer allowing it to withstand the explosions completely.

As for the Mecha Squad he led, the moment they wrapped the iron chains around the creature, the Armored Corpse released a surge of Blood Qi Power, snapping all of them instantly.

Moreover, the creature casually tore up the concrete road, grabbed two chunks of cement weighing hundreds of pounds, and hurled them like weapons. Two Mechas in their squad couldn’t dodge in time and were destroyed on the spot.

This absolute disparity in strength left everyone with a profound sense of powerlessness.

The officer could only request reinforcements from the general staff again. Their response was quick: hold on for another two minutes.

Normally, that was a very short amount of time. Even if they were under attack by a swarm of Abyssal Creatures, he was confident he could hold out for more than twenty minutes.

But when the enemy could completely overwhelm his forces, forget two minutes—he wasn’t even sure he could last another twenty seconds.

Just as he was about to activate the Cloud Burst Bomb and take the creature down with him, a powerful aura suddenly approached at high speed from the distance.

The speed of its approach was so fast that it stunned even him, a Body Shaping Realm Martial Artist.

From the moment he sensed the aura to its arrival before him, it took only the time for him to turn his head.

Then he saw a giant that looked as if it were forged from steel, wielding a massive, blood-red Great Saber, which it brought down viciously on the Armored Corpse.

Seeing this, a look of joyful surprise appeared on Yang Junda’s face. Without a doubt, a Divine Demon Realm expert had arrived.

Although he didn’t understand how the expert had managed to arrive so much earlier than expected, it was undoubtedly a good thing.

However, Yang Junda soon realized he might have celebrated too early. The blade’s light struck the Armored Corpse, leaving only a shallow mark on its body. The Armored Corpse didn’t even take a single step back.

‘It didn’t even break through its Defense?’ The thought had barely formed in Yang Junda’s mind when the blade’s light flashed again, this time faster and more powerful than before.

BOOM!

This strike finally split the Armored Corpse’s keratinous layer and forced it to take a step back.

But before the Armored Corpse could counterattack, the third slash followed immediately.

This time, the Armored Corpse no longer dared to be arrogant. It released an Elemental Barrier while activating its special ability. Its keratinous layer instantly took on a metallic sheen, raising its Defense Power by another level.

But the third strike was clearly even stronger. Even though the Armored Corpse withstood it, the immense impact forced it to stagger back three steps before it could steady itself.

Immediately after, the fourth and fifth slashes followed. Streaks of blood-red light appeared one after another.

The power of the slashes grew more and more terrifying. Starting from the fifth strike, each one left a deep wound on the Armored Corpse.

By the ninth strike, a wound so deep the bone was visible had been carved into the Armored Corpse’s shoulder.

Finally, on the tenth strike, Yang Junda saw the Divine Demon Realm expert pause for a moment with his huge Blood Saber, as if Charging Power, before instantly slashing out.

HUMMM!

This slash was world-shattering. A blade-gleam over ten meters long shot across the sky, looking as if it would slice Space itself in two.

When this slash was unleashed, the Armored Corpse was genuinely terrified, for it sensed a mortal threat. It desperately tried to defend itself, shielding its vitals with its arms.

But the blade’s light was not only incredibly powerful, it was also exceptionally nimble. It slid right through the gap in its Defense and swept across its neck.

The next instant, its head fell to the ground. The Armored Corpse, famous for its Defense, had been killed in less than five seconds.

“Haha! Awesome!” Chen Yushi deactivated his Black Rock Demon Body and laughed with excitement.

It was his first time using the Bloodthirsty Thirteen Sabers so freely in actual combat, and the result was just as he had imagined—the opponent was utterly powerless to fight back.

Standing not far away, Lin Xinghai, who had watched the entire fight, had a look of amazement in his eyes.
