Survival in the Apocalypse: Max Level Drop Rate with Abundant Resources

The moment the shadow flashed out, Helian Tieshu instinctively raised his double-edged battle axe to block.

"clang!"

The clang of metal rang out, sparks flying. Helian Tieshu felt a tremendous force surge from the axe handle, and staggered back two steps. He steadied himself and looked closely…

A two-meter-tall figure clad in white bone armor blocked his way.

The Bone Nightmare Helmet covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of deep, dark eyes. His left arm was clad in the Lion's Barrier armor he had just snatched from Jin Buhuan, while his right hand gripped a jet-black spear, its tip gleaming with a chilling light.

"Who the hell are you?" Helian Tieshu cursed, his gaze passing over Mingying and fixed on Shen Xi, who was leaning against a stone pillar. "Taichu! You don't dare to go up yourself, so you send your men out to die?"

Shen Xi remained leaning there, arms crossed, her eyes still closed.

"If you can beat him, then I'll play with you."

Helian Tieshu's face instantly turned bright red. He had been in the capital for so long, and no one had ever dared to look down on him like this. The He family members behind him also erupted in uproar, each one filled with righteous indignation.

"Brother Iron Tree! Kill him!"

"Let this arrogant fool know the power of the He family!"

"I chopped him down with an axe!"

Helian Tieshu took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. He stared at Mingying, sizing him up. Two meters tall, clad in white bone armor, shield in his left hand and spear in his right, standing there motionless, he certainly exuded a sense of oppression.

But that's about it.

"Fine." Helian Tieshu grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. "I'll kill your dog first, then I'll kill you."

The moment he finished speaking, he moved!

The towering 1.9-meter-tall man unleashed astonishing speed, his double-bladed battle axe drawing a deadly arc in the air, heading straight for Mingying's neck!

Mingying was naturally not afraid.

He raised the Lion Wall, shield facing forward.

"clang!"

The battle axe slammed into the shield, sparks flying! Mingying's body slumped slightly, but her feet remained firmly planted. Helian Tieshu's axe strike was blocked.

"Interesting." Helian Tieshu's eyes flashed with excitement, and he brought his double-edged battle axe down again!

Mingying raised her shield to block, while simultaneously thrusting her Shura Spear from the side of the shield, aiming straight for Helian Tieshu's throat!

Helian Tieshu dodged to the side, then swung his battle axe, aiming for Mingying's waist!

Instead of retreating, Mingying advanced, pressing down with her shield to block the battle axe while simultaneously thrusting out the Asura Spear once more!

The two engaged in a fierce battle amidst the ruins.

Sparks flew as the battle axe clashed with the shield. The spear and axe blade clashed, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound. Both were incredibly fast, each strike aimed at the other's vitals.

Helian Tieshu's attacks were ferocious and brutal, each axe blow carrying the power to split mountains and shatter rocks. His fighting style was just like his profession: a berserker, only attacking and never defending, charging forward relentlessly.

Mingying, on the other hand, was much more composed. The Lion's Barrier in his hands was like a moving iron wall, steadily blocking every attack from Helian Tieshu. And whenever Helian Tieshu's offensive slowed down, the Asura Spear would thrust out from behind the shield, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, aiming straight for vital points.

The two fought fiercely, neither able to gain the upper hand for a time.

in the audience.

More than 100,000 viewers were stunned.

"That big guy... he can actually fight Helian Tieshu to a standstill?"

"Helian Tieshu is a level 14 berserker! A top-tier strength-based class! What makes that big guy so special?"

"Look at his equipment! That bone armor, it must be at least silver-grade, right? And that invaluable shield."

"The fact that Tai Chu gave this shield to his subordinate shows that this subordinate is definitely not simple!"

"So what if he's not simple? Helian Tieshu hasn't even used his full strength yet!"

In the He family's private area, Helian Batian stared intently at the screen, his expression shifting from initial contempt to solemnity, and then from solemnity to anxiety.

"That kid Tieshu..." he murmured, his fist slowly clenching.

A trusted confidant of the He family whispered, "Master, it seems that Young Master Tieshu has... met his match."

Helian Batian remained silent. He simply stared at the two-meter-tall skeletal figure on the screen, his gaze growing increasingly grim.

Who exactly is this burly man?

Inside the instance, in the ruins of the northern area.

The battle continues.

Helian Tieshu's attacks grew increasingly fierce, his double-edged battle axe wielded like a storm. He was now fighting with his full strength, each strike delivered with the power of his own.

But Mingying's defense was like a mountain. The Lion Barrier was as solid as a rock in his hands, and no matter how ferocious Helian Tieshu's attacks were, he blocked them all.

Moreover, Mingying's counterattacks are becoming increasingly sharp.

The Shura Spear thrust out from behind the shield at increasingly tricky angles and faster speeds, nearly striking Helian Tieshu's vital points several times.

Helian Tieshu's breathing began to become rapid.

He had been fighting for almost ten minutes and was exhausted, but his opponent's breathing remained steady.

Doesn't this guy get tired?

In the instant he was distracted, Mingying's counterattack arrived!

The Lion's Barrier slammed forward, the immense force sending Helian Tieshu staggering back two steps. Before he could regain his footing, the Asura Spear was already upon him!

Helian Tieshu dodged to the side with all his might, the spear tip grazing his cheek and drawing a string of blood beads.

But Mingying's second shot followed!

This shot was faster and more ruthless, aimed straight for his heart!

Helian Tieshu had no time to dodge and could only raise his battle axe to block.

"clang!"

The spear tip pierced the axe, and the enormous impact sent Helian Tieshu flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

He rolled over and sat up, panting heavily. Blood was still seeping from the cut on his face, and his hand holding the battle axe was trembling slightly.

Mingying stood motionless in place.

Helian Tieshu's expression changed completely.

He finally realized the gap between himself and this person.

"Brother Tieshu!" The He family members exclaimed from behind.

"Don't come any closer!" Helian Tieshu shouted sharply, staring intently at Mingying. "This is my fight!"

He gripped his battle axe tightly and charged forward again!

Mingying raised his shield to block, and the Shura Spear thrust out from behind the shield.

The two clashed again.

But this time, everyone saw through it.

Helian Tieshu's movements slowed noticeably, and his attacks were not as fierce as before. Meanwhile, Mingying's defense remained rock-solid, but his counterattacks became increasingly sharp.

With the balance of power shifting, Helian Tieshu's defeat was only a matter of time.

At the Kyoto Convention Center, Helian Batian suddenly stood up.

"Iron Tree! Surrender! Surrender now!" he shouted hoarsely, but Helian Iron Tree on the screen couldn't hear him at all.

Inside the instance, Helian Tieshu had already reached his limit.

His battle axe swung down again, but with far less power than before. Mingying raised her shield to block, while at the same time, the Asura Spear thrust out from beneath the shield, aiming straight for his abdomen!

Helian Tieshu twisted his body desperately to dodge, but Mingying's next shot was already upon him!

This shot was as fast as lightning!

The spear tip pierced the air with a sharp whistling sound, heading straight for his throat!

Helian Tieshu had no time to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the cold light drew closer and closer.

"puff."

The spear tip pierced the throat and emerged from the back of the neck.

Helian Tieshu's body stiffened.

He looked down at the spear piercing his throat, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Blood gushed from the wound, flowing down the gun barrel and dripping onto the ground.

"You..." He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't say anything.

Mingying drew his gun.

Helian Tieshu's corpse crashed to the ground.

[Servant "Mingying" has defeated level 14 player "Helian Tieshu" x1, taking 50% of his points!]

Current points: 1587!

[Current ranking: 3nd!]

The entire room fell silent.

Mingying sheathed her gun, turned around and walked back behind Shen Xi, standing silently.

At this moment, Shen Xi opened her eyes, glanced at the points leaderboard, then at Ming Ying, and nodded in satisfaction.

"good."

Then he looked up and gazed into the depths of the ruins.

Then, footsteps could be heard again.

This time, it wasn't just one person.

It's not just a lot of people.

At the end of the ruins, a figure strode towards them.

He was in his early forties, with a square face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, exuding an air of authority. Dressed in a black combat uniform, with a massive battle sword slung over his shoulder, every step he took carried the unique fortitude and composure of a soldier.

Lord Wu'an.

Behind him followed at least a hundred military players. All were dressed in identical black combat uniforms, with golden insignia gleaming on their chests. Their ranks were impeccable, their steps perfectly synchronized, like a real army.

Lord Wu'an stopped fifty meters away from Shen Xi.

He didn't speak, but just looked at Shen Xi, then glanced at Ming Ying standing behind Shen Xi, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

Then, he waved his hand.

Behind them, hundreds of military players stopped simultaneously, dispersed, and took up advantageous positions among the ruins.

Shen Xi looked at Lord Wu'an, and Lord Wu'an also looked at Shen Xi.

The two stood fifty meters apart, gazing at each other for a moment.

Then, Lord Wu'an nodded slightly.

Shen Xi nodded slightly.

No one spoke.

On the other side of the ruins, another group of people appeared.

The leader was a young man in his early thirties, tall and slender with a handsome face and sharp eyes. He wore a light silver-white armor, with a long, thin sword hanging at his waist, the scabbard inlaid with several pale blue gems.

Gu Yunting.

Behind him followed at least seventy or eighty members of the Gu family. They wore black uniforms with the character "Gu" embroidered in gold on their chests, and each of them had a gloomy face and exuded murderous intent.

Gu Yunting stopped when he was about 100 meters away from Shen Xi.

He didn't rush up like Helian Tieshu; he just stood there, staring intently at Shen Xi.

it's him.

It was this man named Taichu who killed his clansmen, making the Gu family of Kyoto a laughingstock.

Gu Yunting's hand remained on the hilt of the sword, but he did not draw it.

Because he still doesn't know just how strong the person in front of him really is.

Nara was the last to arrive.

She led the family out silently from the shadows of the ruins.

The woman, around thirty years old, was tall and slender with a cold and alluring face. She had short, ear-length hair and sharp, piercing eyes. She wore a black, tight-fitting leather armor, with a pair of short daggers hanging at her waist, and she was like a shadow that could disappear at any moment.

She walked to the furthest point from Shen Xi and stopped.

Then, he leaned against a half-broken wall, crossed his arms, and remained silent.

At this point, all five strongest forces in the Kyoto Championship have arrived.

The military, the Gu family, the Na family, the He family—and Shen Xi.

With Helian Tieshu and Jin Buhuan dead, only four forces remain as the strongest in the Kyoto Hegemony Tournament.

The four sides were locked in a tense standoff, the atmosphere heavy.

The regional channel was flooded with messages.

"Holy crap! All the strongest forces in Kyoto have arrived!"

"Is this going to be the final battle? The elimination rounds aren't over yet!"

"The elimination rounds are almost over! Aren't they going to try and get more points?"

"Why bother with points? Just kill the opponent, and you'll get the points!"

"Wu'an Jun isn't making a move, Gu Yunting isn't making a move, Na Luo isn't making a move... what are they all waiting for?"

"What are we waiting for? Let's wait for someone else to make the first move! Whoever makes the first move will suffer!"

"But Helian Tieshu is already dead! What will happen to the He family?"

"The He family...is finished."

At the Kyoto Convention Center, Helian Batian slumped in a chair, his face ashen.

He stared at the corpse lying in a pool of blood on the screen, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

His son died.

He was shot through the throat.

"Master..." a trusted confidant of the He family said cautiously, "Young Master Tieshu, he..."

"Shut up." Helian Batian's voice was hoarse. "I saw it."

He took a deep breath, raised his head, and stared intently at the silver-gray figure on the screen.

In the beginning...

I, Helian Batian, will remember you all.
