High Martial Arts: Slay enemies to become stronger, forge invincibility from billions of corpses.

Song Chen's fighting style is simple: his ability to traverse through the void keeps him in the most unexpected positions, while his sixth-level Star Slash technique allows him to inflict widespread damage the moment he appears.

This sword technique was originally designed for group battles, with continuous sword strikes that emphasize offense over defense.

There was no pause between the blades; before one strike was finished, another had already begun, like a black river surging ceaselessly around the body.

Song Chen led this river into the enemy's torrent, like a living blade, appearing and disappearing among the enemy ranks.

Every time it appears, an enemy inevitably falls beside it.

Sixth-tier cultivators don't even have time to react in front of him; they often only see a flash of black light before a part of their body no longer belongs to them.

The seventh level is slightly better; at least you can sense the abnormal fluctuations in spiritual energy, but that's about it.

Song Chen's speed exceeded the limits of their nervous system's processing power. Not to mention, under the spatial blockade, the enemy never expected that someone could teleport here.

"Who's that?" A coalition soldier who had retreated to a safe position pointed ahead, his voice trembling.

"I don't know, he... he charged in all by himself?"

"Is he an eighth-tier monster? Look, that seventh-tier one got cleaved in two with a single strike!"

"It's not the eighth rank, just the high-level seventh rank. I can feel it very clearly."

"Are you kidding me? A seventh-tier being can kill another seventh-tier being like this?"

……

The discussions grew louder, and the soldiers who had been prepared to abandon the passage stopped, their eyes regaining their light.

They saw the black shadow that kept flashing and disappearing in the enemy ranks ahead, and they saw the sixth and seventh tier Blood Erosion beings fall like harvested rice.

"The sword technique he used... was definitely at the Star Crown level. The sword strikes were so tight, there wasn't a single opening."

An old soldier from the Frostmoon Civilization stared intently ahead, his eyes filled with shock.

"And his movement technique—he can teleport even under spatial confinement—that's outrageous!"

"Damn it, this passage is saved!"

Song Chen had no time to pay attention to what was said next; his knife had already slashed countless times.

The system notification sounds had become so frequent that they formed a continuous line, and he couldn't hear them all, so he simply blocked them out in his mind, leaving only the total amount displayed on the panel.

The kill count is skyrocketing, with the total already back to 10 billion, and it's still jumping up at an extremely rapid pace.

Song Chen glanced at it only once before looking away.

At this rate, as long as he stays on the battlefield, his kill count will keep increasing.

But the more important issue now is that the enemy isn't here to be killed; they have a clear objective.

"The command center is in dire need of information! The enemy is concentrating on breaking through the core area!" Virian's voice squeezed out from the communication channel, his throat hoarse and filled with heavy breathing.

Song Chen glanced at the end of the passage. The core area was just 30 kilometers ahead. It was the command center of the entire node and the control core of the space node.

If the command center is breached, the entire defense line will be completely paralyzed, and all the defenders will become headless flies, being divided and annihilated by the enemy.

"I'm coming to the core area to provide support," Song Chen replied in the channel.

"You're too far ahead, wait for the rest of the team to catch up..."

Before Vilian could finish speaking, an explosion was heard over the communication channel, followed by a burst of shrill static.

Song Chen fought his way through one passage and then flashed into another.

His route cleared his way along the perimeter of the core area, and his ability to traverse the void allowed him to avoid being restricted by the terrain like ordinary soldiers.

He can jump from high places to low places, cut from one corridor to another, and even pass through some blasted gaps.

The enemy couldn't keep up with his pace at all, and soon he entered the vicinity of the core area.

The fighting around the core area can no longer be described as "intense".

The metal structure of the defensive line was riddled with holes, several sections of the ceiling collapsed, and large chunks of alloy plates were stuck diagonally into the ground.

Countless psionic pipelines were broken, and blue energy liquid gushed out from the fractures, burning into will-o'-the-wisps in the air.

Allied soldiers and Blood-Corroded Battle Bodies clashed amidst the ruins. A Rock Iron Shield Guard used his broken shield to wedge the neck of a seventh-tier giant claw, while his other hand gripped its head, forcefully pulling the giant claw's head out of its carapace.

One of the Radiant Gunners was tackled by two Tier 6 scouts. He immediately detonated his psionic gun, taking both enemies with him.

There was also a Frostmoon Warrior, missing one arm but still holding a sword in his other arm, standing on a pile of corpses, chanting something unintelligible.

Song Chen rushed in, landing behind a small group of seventh-tier heavily armored destroyers.

The destructive entities are bombarding the core area gate, and the alloy door panel has already been dented more than a dozen times by them using bone hammers and corrosive liquid.

Song Chen cut in from behind the last of the destroyers, piercing its neck with a single stroke, then pulled horizontally, completely ripping open its skull.

Then, in a flash, he appeared to the side of another Destroyer, his blade sweeping across the joints of its four scythe-like limbs, sending the limbs flying like severed ropes.

His sword strikes grew faster and faster with each kill.

The most terrifying aspect of the sixth level of Star Slash is that there is no pause between the sword strikes, and each strike adds the residual power of the previous strikes.

After ten strikes, the momentum of his blade was like a tsunami, and he was still accelerating.

Those seventh-tier heavily armored destroyers, despite their formidable defensive capabilities, were completely unable to pinpoint Song Chen's location.

Every attack they launched landed on empty air. By the time they realized they had missed, Song Chen's knife had already sliced ​​their bodies open from another direction.

"Block it! Block that door!"

A coalition officer lay prone behind a pile of rubble not far away, shouting at the top of his lungs.

Song Chen glanced back at the gate to the core area. The alloy door was badly deformed, with dents and burn marks all over its surface. In some places, it even had fist-sized cracks.

If that door is breached, the command center is inside.

Song Chen shouted, "Ignore the ones on the perimeter, concentrate your firepower at the entrance!"

His voice wasn't loud, but strangely enough, every Allied soldier heard it amidst the explosions and gunfire.

They looked up and saw Song Chen standing in front of the gate, alone with a knife, blocking the entrance.

The officer was the first to react: "Don't just stand there! Do as he says, concentrate firepower on the doorway, and don't let those bastards get close."

The Allied soldiers finally came to their senses.

Psionic guns, close-in weaponry, man-portable missiles, and all sorts of weapons were directed at the gate, repelling wave after wave of attacking combatants.

Song Chen stood at the edge of the fire net. He didn't need anyone's cover. He moved in and out of the densest part of the fire net, specializing in killing enemies who came up from the flanks.

His presence allowed the defenders to reorganize a defensive line that was barely the same as before.

"Watch out, high-energy reaction, eleven o'clock!" Virian's voice boomed from the communication channel.
