I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Shen Tian stood beside the massive corpse of the Golden Armored Rhinoceros King, his gaze not fixed on the horrified faces of his teammates, but rather lowered slightly, looking at the pale blue light screen visible only to him.

[Host: Shen Tian]

[Realm: Early Stage Second-Tier Martial Artist / Rank Second-Tier Spiritualist]

[Kill Value: 280 points]

[Martial Arts: Great Sun Body Tempering Technique (Perfected), Absolute Breath Slash (0/2000)]

[Talents: Seven Aperture Blade Heart - Blue, Light and Agile Body - Green, Undying Body - Blue]

That move just now was a huge gamble.

First, upgrade your talent by going all-in on kill points, then risk your life to kill a fourth-tier lord, and finally plunder the immortal body.

Now, I only have a pitiful 280 points left in my pocket.

"I'm poor."

Shen Tian sighed inwardly.

Although they have two blue talents, in this battlefield that is about to collapse, hard power is the only true measure of strength.

That last, breathless strike was amazing, but it was based on a sudden enlightenment and favorable timing and location.

To make this a regular technique, you need to become proficient at it.

"System, add points."

Shen Tian had a thought.

"Consumes 280 kill points to increase proficiency in 'Final Slash'!"

hum!

The remaining kill points were instantly reduced to zero.

At the same time, a complex and profound understanding of the Dao of the Sword surged into Shen Tian's mind like a sudden enlightenment.

The previously somewhat awkward energy flow path became incredibly clear at this moment.

Muscle memory was forcibly rewritten.

Shen Tian's fingers tightened slightly around the hilt of the knife.

If that last strike was a work of art born of a flash of inspiration, then now, this sword technique has become an integral part of his being, something he can use effortlessly at any time.

[Last Breath Slash: 280/2000]

Although it hasn't reached the minor stage yet, its power has increased by at least 30%.

This is enough.

"Ugh—!!!"

The piercing red alarm continued to tear at everyone's eardrums.

Lin Qingyi finally snapped out of her shock.

She glanced at the dense red dots on the communicator, her face turning ashen.

"Shen Tian! Stop spacing out!"

Lin Qingyi rushed forward, grabbed Shen Tian's arm, and said urgently:

"The command headquarters has issued a full-scale retreat order! This is no ordinary beast tide; there are at least twenty fourth-tier lords still behind!"

"Twenty heads?"

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.

It's not fear.

It's more of a pleasant surprise when you see the food being served at a buffet.

"Yes! Twenty! And there's even a beast king that's suspected to be at the fifth tier!"

Reggae also came running over, dragging the tattered tower shield, his face full of anxiety:

"This place can't be held! Quickly retreat to the second line of defense; there are heavy laser artillery positions there, which can hold out for a while longer!"

Ah Fei had already righted the motorcycle, and the engine roared to life.

"Brother Tian! Get in the car! I'll take you speeding back!"

The three of them looked at Shen Tian with anxious and concerned eyes.

In their eyes, Shen Tian was indeed a prodigy, and although he had just created a miracle.

But a miracle is a miracle precisely because it cannot be replicated.

No matter how strong an individual is, it is impossible to fight against the entire beast tide.

Staying here means certain death.

however.

Shen Tian gently broke free from Lin Qingyi's hand.

The movements were light, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

"You may leave."

Shen Tian turned around, his back to the three of them, facing the billowing dust and the impending black tide.

"What?"

Lin Qingyi was stunned, thinking she had misheard.

"I said, you should leave."

Shen Tian reached into his pocket, pulled out a piece of chocolate, tore open the wrapper, popped it into his mouth, and mumbled:

"Your stamina was exhausted in that battle just now, and staying here would only be a burden."

Those words are hurtful.

It's also very realistic.

Reggae and Afei's expressions froze, but they couldn't refute it.

In their current state, let alone a fourth-tier lord, even a few third-tier beasts could tear them to shreds.

"And what about you?!"

Lin Qingyi stared intently at Shen Tian's retreating figure, her eyes red-rimmed.

"What are you doing staying here? Committing suicide?!"

"Sending them to their deaths?"

Shen Tian chewed the chocolate in his mouth, feeling the sugar turning into energy in his body.

He raised his hand and pointed to the dark mass of beasts ahead.

"Captain, didn't you hear me?"

"There are twenty fourth-tier lords there."

"That's how much... cough, that's such a huge threat."

Shen Tian almost let slip how many kill points he had.

He turned his head, looked at Lin Qingyi, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"If no one covers your retreat, do you think you can escape?"

Lin Qingyi was stunned.

Reggae and Afei were also stunned.

To cover the rear?

This newcomer, who had only been with the company for two days, had to face the devastating beast tide all by himself for their sake.

An indescribable mix of sorrow and emotion welled up in the hearts of the three of them.

"No! I'm the captain! I should be the one covering the rear..."

Before Lin Qingyi could finish speaking, Shen Tian interrupted her.

"Alright, stop getting sentimental."

Shen Tian waved his hand, his tone becoming somewhat impatient:

"I just killed that rhinoceros. Do you think I'm that easy to kill?"

"Get out of here, don't hold me back...from performing."

Done.

Shen Tian ignored the three of them.

boom!

A violent aura erupted from him.

Second-grade psychic power fully activated!

Six "Dark Night" throwing knives whistled out, swirling around him and emitting a low groan as if they craved blood.

"Walk!!!"

Shen Tian roared.

Lin Qingyi trembled, and tears finally welled up in her eyes.

She gazed intently at that aloof figure, as if trying to etch the scene into her mind forever.

"Shen Tian...you must live!"

"Reggae! Fei! Take the wounded and retreat!"

Lin Qingyi gritted her teeth and gave the final order.

The sound of the motorcycle engine faded into the distance.

Only after the three figures completely disappeared at the end of the ruins did Shen Tian slowly withdraw his gaze.

That "righteous and awe-inspiring" expression vanished instantly.

Instead, there is a kind of greed like that of a hungry wolf seeing a flock of sheep.

"They're finally gone."

Shen Tian cracked his neck.

"With someone watching, it's not convenient to cheat even if you want to."

Although he won the battle just now, he was also held back.

I didn't dare use many of the highly destructive telekinetic techniques that didn't distinguish between friend and foe.

Moreover, the act of plundering talent is too shocking and unconventional; they might even dissect him for research.

it's good now.

The area has been cleared.

Shen Tian turned around and looked at the vanguard of the beast tide that had closed to within 500 meters.

The earth was trembling.

Smoke and dust obscured the sky and the sun.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, twenty terrifying auras, like twenty volcanoes about to erupt, were crushing towards this place.

To others, this is hell.

But in Shen Tian's eyes, who possesses the Seven Apertures Blade Heart and the Immortal Body.

This place is overflowing with gold!

"Twenty heads, fourth tier..."

"That's 20,000 kill points."

Shen Tian licked his slightly chapped lips, the red light in his eyes growing stronger.

All we need to do is slaughter all these beasts.

Third order?

Fourth order?

Even for a fifth-tier Grandmaster, it's just a matter of adding a few points!

"bring it on."

Shen Tian held a knife in his right hand and put his left hand in his pocket.

The military boots under his feet slammed into the ground.

Boom!

The concrete ground instantly shattered, creating a crater three meters in diameter.

Using this terrifying recoil, Shen Tian, ​​like a black cruise missile, advanced instead of retreating, heading straight for the sea of ​​death.

"A slaughterous feast..."

"The feast is about to begin!"

……

The northern defense line, the outer ring.

Countless strange beasts are roaring madly.

Their orders were to tear apart all humans and raze the city to the ground.

But at that moment...

A bolt of black lightning crashed into their formation.

There were no fancy attempts.

It was a decisive blow right from the start!

"Final Slash!"

Shen Tianren was in mid-air when his black and gold battle sword was already drawn.

With his swordsmanship skill now at 280 proficiency, the ferocious side of his abilities was on full display.

It is no longer a thin line.

Instead, it was a black fan!

Om-! ! !

Wherever the blade flashed, space itself seemed to shift and become disoriented.

The dozen or so second-tier beasts at the forefront didn't even have a chance to react before their bodies were bizarrely split in two as they ran.

Before the blood could even spray, it was instantly blasted into a blood mist by the blade's energy.

[Slayed a Tier 2 alien beast, the Wind Wolf, and gained 80 kill points.]

[Slayed a Tier 2 beast, the Ironback Bear, and gained 100 kill points.]

[Killed...]

The pleasant notification sound exploded in my mind like popping beans.

Shen Tian landed.

But he didn't stop at all.

[Immortal Body, Redundant Organs]!

He completely abandoned defense.

He allowed the claws of a third-tier shadow leopard that had ambushed him to graze his back.

Stab it!

Clothes torn, skin and flesh rolled up.

For an ordinary person, this blow would be enough to injure their internal organs and render them unable to fight.

But Shen Tian merely frowned slightly.

next second.

With a backhand slash, he sliced ​​off the shadow leopard's head.

Meanwhile, at the wound on his back, granulation tissue writhed wildly, and within just two breaths, the bleeding stopped and a scab formed.

"Cool!"

This fighting style, where you risk injury to save your life, is incredibly addictive.

Shen Tian laughed wildly, like a tireless meat grinder, as he charged towards the most terrifying lord-level beasts deep within the beast tide.

And behind him.

It is a path of carnage paved with corpses and blood.

High in the distance.

A high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft belonging to the Tian Shu Bureau happened to fly over this area.

The driver, trembling, pressed the communication button as he looked at the horrifying scene below.

"Command center..."

"I think... I might have seen Death."
