The group quickly gathered, with Gao Yan in the middle. His sniper rifle seemed powerless against the vast multitude of birds that filled the sky, so he simply squatted down, occasionally shooting upwards.
The Brain-eating Swallows screeched down from above, covering the sky and earth with seemingly no dead angles. There were literally thousands of them. This was a moment that truly tested a martial artist’s real strength.
“Broken Water Sword!” Shi Lei’s long sword was the standard configuration for a martial artist. His standardized sword skill unleashed a shower of radiating sword light, cutting down the Brain-eating Swallows one by one.
At this time, Ye Tiancheng’s performance was even better than Shi Lei’s. His twin swords danced, and the characteristic sword Qi of a Dark Force Warrior crisscrossed, killing at an even faster speed.
Furthermore, he had just refuted Lin Zhen and had been proven wrong by reality. He felt guilty at the moment and wanted to show more effort, completely ignoring the fact that he was only a Second-level War General. He risked his life by mobilizing the dark force’s internal power, his sword Qi roaring like thunder and lightening, completely venting his frustration on these Brain-eating Swallows.
In comparison, Zhao Liang was in much more dire straits. His knife technique was bold and fierce, with a strong killing power, but it felt like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill mosquitoes when used against the Brain-eating Swallows. Although powerful, it was just too slow, making it very difficult for him.
Lin Zhen was on the left. At this moment, faced with the dark mass of descending Brain-eating Swallows, he was exceptionally calm and clear-headed.
“These swallows move faster than raindrops. They are like rainfall. With my strength, I can make each strike deadly.”
“The second form of my Nine Layers Spear River, the Storm, emphasizes speed.
The spear strikes as fast as lightning. It is unpredictable and unstoppable. Although I’ve only mastered it to a small degree, I have not yet comprehended its full essence. These Brain-eating Swallows are perfect to practice against!”
“Clack, clack, clack!”
The Black Dragon Spear twirled, spewing forth a large spray of spear light. Threads of forceful Qi overflowed. Even though without the addition of internal power, Lin Zhen’s swift and agile movements ensured each strike was rapid.
A flash of the spear light sped by, leaving a transparent hole in a Brain-eating Swallow’s body. It fell to the ground, convulsing but unable to fly again.
Three spear flashes appeared simultaneously. Four swallows shrieked as they fell to the ground. The last spear even skewered through two Brain-eating Swallows. When faced with such F-level mutated beasts that relied on numbers for victory and possessed low defensive power, the advantage of Lin Zhen’s long weaoon was fullv develooed.
Even without internal power, his killing speed was no less than Ye Tiancheng’s, and he could keep at it for a long while.
The bodies fell like rain, and the sky was filled with blood sprinkles, turning the clothes of the few men red. Even though the door to the hotel was just a dozen meters away, their progress was slow like a snail’s. Primarily, because Shi Lei was under too much pressure. He was surrounded by swallows and had great difficulty just protecting himself.
From a height, these Brain-eating Swallows appeared like a cyclone, wave after wave descending from the sky, wanting to kill the few people resisting on the ground.
Zhao Liang screamed, a bloody hole made on his neck, a piece of flesh ripped off.
“I can’t hold on any longer!”
The smell of blood only made the Brain-eating Swallows crazier. Two Swallows attacked Zhao Liang from left and right, with four or five more following them. Zhao Liang waved his knife awkwardly with one hand. You could imagine, without any support, and only relying on himself, he would be unable to resist any longer.
“Bang, bang!”
Two gunshots sounded. Gao Yan’s support arrived, but as soon as he popped his head out, several more Brain-eating Swallows were attracted and swooped down. He and Zhao Liang would not be able to hold on for much longer.
Shi Lei hurriedly said, “Switch positions, quickly switch positions. Tiancheng, your duel swords are fast. You go to the front and make sure to quickly open a path to enter the interior of the hotel. Otherwise, we all gonna fall here.” Ye Tiancheng heavily gasped a few times, “Alright, I’ll try!”
Lin Zhen glanced at him, knowing that he had spent too much internal power and probably couldn’t hold on for much longer.
Indeed, as Lin Zhen had thought, after Ye Tiancheng and Shi Lei switched positions and once again went insane for a while, advancing five meters towards the hotel entrance, but still seven or eight meters away, he was no longer able to release sword Qi and could only rely on his twin swords to kill.
This was undoubtedly extremely inefficient, and Zhao Liang and Gao Yan on the other side were also on the verge of collapsing.
“What to do? Are we going to die here?”
Shi Lei was not willing to give up. Martial artists are not afraid of death. In fact, from the day they choose to become martial artists, everyone knows it’s a high-risk profession, but still, countless people continue to strive to become martial artists.
But if they died at the hands of high-level mutated beasts, they could still say they died a good death. Among the kinds of mutated beasts most hated by martial artists, bird flocks undoubtedly ranked the top three.
A bird flock, a rat tide, a school of fish in the water—these three types of mutated beasts are relatively weak when taken separately but are a martial artist’s worst nightmare. For example, this sky full of Brain-eating Swallows, even a power-type War God powerhouse, without external assistance, would absolutely be unable to resist.
The reason is simple—there are just too many of them.
The Rat Tide was the most dangerous, with the mutant rats being the size of wild dogs. Once they mobilized, there would be at least hundreds of thousands, or even millions of them, especially in the wild. Most people would not even survive an encounter with the Rat Tide.
Therefore, martial artists would rather face an Iron-armored Bull or a Human Bear, but no one would like to face these swarms of small creatures.
Shi Lei was very upset. His squad had just hunted a few Iron-armored Bulls, and he thought they were lucky. However, an unexpected nightmare started in an instant.
“Captain, let me try!”
At this time, Lin Zhen stood up, indicating he wanted to take Ye Tiancheng’s
place.
Mutant Beasts are somewhat intelligent. The Brain-eating Swallows knew that if the group hid indoors, they would be unable to pursue them. Hence, their previous attacks were extraordinarily ferocious. Everyone was momentarily stunned when they heard that Lin Zhen voluntarily wanted to attempt a breakthrough.
However, they didn’t have time to ponder now. Shi Lei simply waved his hand: “Tiancheng, move aside! ” The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via /n/ov/el/b/in.
Lin Zhen stepped forward, facing a flurry of swallows. He took a deep breath and violently stirred the Black Dragon Spear in his hand. A powerful gust followed, countless spear lights shooting out, and instantly, over a dozen swallows fell to the ground, clearing the space in front of him.
“Advance!”
Lin Zhen shouted, hopping forward. His spear swished about, flicking left and right at an incredibly fast speed. Amid the “pap pap pap!” noises, incredibly, not a single swallow could get close to him.
“This spear skill…this speed…and this unstoppable courage, Lin Zhen’s future is boundless.”
Without any hesitation, the others followed Lin Zhen’s steps.
Lin Zhen held his breath and advanced continuously for about five or six meters. The hotel’s front door was already in sight. The narrow space was not suitable for swallows to fly in. Lin Zhen suddenly turned back. “You guys go in, I’ll cover the rear!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The other four quickly passed by on the left and right, and the pressure on Lin Zhen’s eyes suddenly increased significantly.
Throngs of swallows came flocking, and each carried a significant impact force. Lin Zhen waved his spear, and the deep, steady rhythm of his breathing had already begun unconsciously. “Lin Zhen, hurry up and get in!”
Zhao Liang shouted from behind.
Lin Zhen didn’t move. If he retreated now, a countless number of swallows would rush in, causing a great deal of trouble. He just needed to hold on for a few seconds more. Once this wave of assault was over, it would be much safer to retreat indoors.
But this wave was tough to withstand.
In the space just a few meters ahead, dozens of Brain-eating Swallows came rushing in.
Their wings retracted, trying their best to reduce their size. Sharp beaks of the swallows flickered with black light, like rain droplets hurtling towards him.
“Storm! This kind of impact is just like a storm. I’ve previously heard in the Star World that in order to practice the Storm, the first thing you need to do is to make sure that no water can get in, even when the spear is swinging.”
“The scene in front of me is like a storm. My nerves are responsive enough. All I have to do is maintain a calm mindset, not let external things move me…
perhaps I can withstand this wave.”
“If I can’t even block the swallows, how can I keep out the water!”
Lin Zhen shouted sharply. The scene in front of him seemed to pause, and the outside noises could no longer be heard. He couldn’t hear Zhao Liang’s shouting or the chirping of the Brain-eating Swallows. All he saw was the sparks of black light; he had to knock them all down within a second!
Lifting his hand, he thrust the spear out. Its flexibility came into play, and flares of spear light burst out.
One, two… ten, twenty….
In the eyes of the others, everything happened in an instant. In front of Lin Zhen was a big burst of spear light, he looked like a suddenly upright porcupine with body spikes, the Brain-eating Swallows rushed to hit the spikes in great fear.
For a moment! lust like skewering sugar-coated haws. blood was sDlattered
everywhere!
In that instant, a thick layer of Brain-eating Swallows fell in front of the hotel’s door.. The surroundings of Lin Zhen were completely cleared, creating a vacuum area!
