Chapter 628: Blades of Relentless Fury
by xennovelSlash!
“Whoosh-Boom!”
The sword’s howl tore through the air.
Midair, Yenir casually unleashed a sword breath, slender and brilliant like silver light, instantly cleaving a Third-Stage Beginner in two.
His speed was so blinding that the Third-Stage Beginner had no time to react before being split in two.
Ever since his power surged, his combat strength had reached that of Peak Third-Stage; even a casual strike rivaled the force of the old Sky Rift Radiance.
He paid no mind to the minor role he had effortlessly dispatched.
A flicker in his eyes unleashed a torrent of battle data, flooding his vision like a raging tide.
In a blink, he pinpointed the weak spot in the formation charged by Cheng Longhu and his men.
Switching targets on the fly is a battle taboo!
To Yenir, the rebels’ hasty plan to encircle Li Xuanguo was riddled with flaws.
“Dare ignore me? Then don’t blame me for slashing through you all!”
A cold laugh echoed.
Yenir fixed his gaze on the most vulnerable section of the rebel formation.
Soon, as Cheng Longhu and his crew charged out with a mass of Peak Third-Stage fighters, the rebel ranks unspooled into a long, sinuous line.
Hundreds of Third-Stage Beginner Awakeners were left at the rear, with only a few Third-Stage Advanced Squad Captains mixed in. To Yenir, that ‘tail’ was nothing more than a live target!
Without hesitation, a flash of savage brutality lit his eyes as Yenir, shielded by his Fallen Heaven skill, charged like a falling meteor toward the rebel edge.
“Boom!!”
The ground trembled as fragments of stone exploded like bullets.
After hurtling down at six times supersonic speed, the shockwave sent nearby Third-Stage squads flying, while the weaker ones were impaled by a secondary burst of sword energy.
From the Chasm, Yenir leapt upward. With a flash of red in his eyes, a renewed Mind Storm burst forth, scattering dust around him like deadly ripples.
Daze! Terror!
A circular sword slash!
“Vroom! – Whoosh!”
Not an ounce of mercy was spared!
In an instant, Yenir became an unfeeling killing machine as the spirit energy of his twin swords blazed.
One strike after another! A cascade of sword energy pierced through a dozen nearby Third-Stage Beginners. Already outclassed and restrained, thirteen heads were severed in one sweep, leaving them no chance to counterattack.
Such a sight left the Third-Stage troops in horrified disbelief!
It was too fast! Simply too fast!
They knew Yenir’s combat prowess was no less than Peak Third-Stage.
Yet no one expected his close-range killing speed to outpace his aerial onslaught!
Third-Stage! Every enemy slain by Yenir was a Third-Stage warrior, not a mere foot soldier!
Armed with two high-grade weapons and outrageously potent spirit energy, these Third-Stage Beginners were like paper before him! Even a graze from his extended sword breath would shatter them instantly, leaving no trace behind!
And the control effect of his Mind Storm ensured they couldn’t even mount a counterattack!
Although they outnumbered him, in that moment it felt as if Yenir alone was surrounding them!
“Scatter! Scatter! Attack him from afar! Do not get close!”
A furious shout rang out!
Aware of their own Peak Third-Stage feint, several Third-Stage Advanced fighters barked orders, urging everyone to disperse quickly!
They had braced for a desperate fight, but at Yenir’s killing pace, they wouldn’t last long enough to divert Fang Hao and his group’s attention.
Ten seconds—hold for ten seconds! Without drawing Fang Hao’s attention, no one could guarantee blowing him up directly!
Meanwhile, Cheng Longhu kept charging relentlessly toward the Prime Minister and his entourage.
With a chill in his gaze, Yenir even turned his controlled Otherworldly Ghost against them.
He needed no allies.
Under the protection of his revival and triple shield, not even a Peak Third-Stage attack could harm him, and these Third-Stage Beginners stood no chance!
“Exterminate these Third-Stage Beginners, then break through the center!”
“I wonder how long these old dogs can endure!”
If Cheng Longhu and his men truly ignored him, he’d slash from start to finish! He didn’t believe these old fighters would let him massacre unchecked!
With a swift reversal, a colossal sword energy, a hundred meters long, lashed out at a fleeing Third-Stage squad. Like a tiger in a flock of sheep, Yenir charged forward again, defying a barrage of Third-Stage attacks.
Yet with each swing, he deliberately guided the fall of the corpses, scattering them across the battlefield.
Had someone watched from above, they’d see that his domineering flurry had arranged the fallen Third-Stage bodies in a circle across the field.
There was no hidden motive—Yenir simply planned that, after invoking the Evil God Ritual, these corpses would serve as the footholds for his rebirth.
Rebirth was inevitable.
It wasn’t that Yenir lacked confidence or feared he’d ‘die’ in the battles to come.
He simply sought to minimize losses, unwilling to sacrifice too many of his Third-Stage troops.
After all, he could revive himself. Rather than lose his own Third-Stage warriors, he would use himself as bait to withstand Cheng Longhu’s final desperate counterattack.
Besides, nothing is as awe-inspiring as rising from the dead!
Once his rebirth coordinates envelop the field, Yenir will show everyone what true terror means!
An indestructible Peak Third-Stage fighter is enough to intimidate everyone!
Meanwhile, within the rebel ranks, Cheng Longhu and his men noticed Yenir’s rampant slaughter of their own forces.
His killing spree was unfolding at a pace ten times faster than they had anticipated!
The three Third-Stage Advanced fighters in their squad dared not act rashly; only the Third-Stage Beginners clashing with Yenir—over a hundred of them—could muster a desperate assault. But against Yenir’s astonishing evasiveness, it was futile!
Even when a skill occasionally struck him, his triple shield absorbed it without a ripple!
Clustered together, they were swept away by the Mind Storm; scattered, they were cut down one by one by his sweeping slashes!
For a moment, the rapid attrition of their Third-Stage forces made Cheng Longhu’s heart ache with pain!
Lightning-fast, high-damage, with bizarre sword techniques and abnormal combat prowess—and gear that was outrageously elite!
No exaggeration, Yenir was by far the most detestable Awakened they had ever seen!
“Hold on a few more seconds! A few more seconds! That kid’s Peak Third-Stage reinforcements will soon arrive!”
“At most four seconds! After four seconds, charge in and self-detonate!”
Faces contorted in anguish.
Suppressing the burning hatred within, Cheng Longhu roared and launched an immediate attack on Li Xuanguo, who was shielded by the mass of rebels.
If no one intervened in time, he was certain he could blow Yenir to oblivion!
