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

From the moment Song Chen entered the supermarket until he came out, less than a minute had passed, and all seven Tier 2 alien beasts had been killed.

He didn't draw his sword, didn't use his special abilities, and didn't even use his full strength.

He simply walked in and, in a way that Lin Yu had never seen before, almost artistically, took the lives of the seven strange beasts one by one.

Lin Yu stood at the supermarket entrance, pistol still raised, finger on the trigger, but hadn't fired a single shot.

She looked at Song Chen: "You..."

Song Chen ignored her, but as he passed by, he said, "Let's go to the residential building, there are two three-tiered dogs there."

Lin Yu put down her gun and followed behind him. She suddenly felt safe following this man.

The basement entrance to the residential building is on the back of a six-story building. It is a half-open iron door, rusty and emitting a strong fishy smell from the crack.

Song Chen pushed open the door and went inside.

The staircase was steep, narrow, and dark, with only faint glimmers of psionic particles seeping in from the cracks overhead, casting pale blue spots of light on the steps.

In the basement, two mutated lizards were perched on a pile of broken furniture. They were not large, each about five meters long.

They sensed the intruder, raised their heads, locked their vertical pupils onto Song Chen at the stairwell, and hissed as they flicked their tongues.

Song Chen walked down the last step and stood in the basement.

Two lizards lunged at him at the same time, and this time he drew his sword.

The sound of the Thunderclap Blade being drawn echoed in the basement, and arcs of electricity on the blade lit up in the darkness, illuminating the entire basement as if it were daytime.

He walked toward the two lizards, the blade drawing a silver-gray arc in front of him.

The blade sliced ​​into the neck of the first lizard, the sound of its scales shattering as crisp as breaking glass.

The electric arc flowed into the wound, exploded inside the lizard's body, and its body stiffened in mid-air before crashing to the ground like a stone.

[A Tier 3 alien beast has been killed, gaining 680 kill points.]

The second lizard pounced from the side. Song Chen didn't turn around. He drew a semi-circle behind him with the Thunderclap Blade, and the tip of the blade precisely touched the side of the lizard's head. An arc of electricity exploded inside its skull, and the lizard's eyes lost their light in an instant.

[A Tier 3 alien beast has been killed, gaining 500 kill points.]

One slash, one Tier 3; two slashes, two Tier 3.

Song Chen sheathed his sword, turned and walked towards the stairwell. As he passed Lin Yu, he saw her expression: her mouth was slightly open and her eyes were wide open.

She had served in the army for eight years and had seen countless martial artists, but she had never seen anything like it before. An eighteen-year-old student killed two third-tier alien beasts with two slashes. After killing them, he remained calm and his breathing was steady, as if he had just casually ordered two dishes in the cafeteria.

Song Chen, on the other hand, seemed quite natural.

"Let's go, next place."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu suddenly felt that what she had said before was like a joke, the kind that makes people want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Lin Yu snapped out of her daze and realized that Song Chen was already ahead, so she quickly followed.

From the supermarket to the residential building to the gas station, Song Chen spent ten minutes navigating the three gathering points of the strange beasts.

Throughout the entire process, he drew his sword twice and used it twice. The rest of the time, he used his hands, feet, the scabbard, his knees, his shoulders, and every part of his body that he could use, to kill each of the strange beasts in a fluid and dazzling manner.

Lin Yu went from being nervous at the beginning, to being shocked in the middle, and finally to being numb.

She now finally understood why Zhao Guoqiang's expression changed from perfunctory to expectant after seeing Song Chen's number; he knew this young man wasn't there to be protected, but to clear the area.

The killings continued.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The remaining strange beasts in the eastern district have been mostly cleared out.

Song Chen checked his kill count: 42,000 points. This efficiency was naturally not as good as killing during the beast tide, but it was still quite good.

He glanced at the sky; it wasn't dark yet, there was still time.

"Let's go, Captain Lin, let's go take a look at the West District."

Lin Yu nodded mechanically: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Over the past few hours, she had gotten used to following Song Chen's instructions, and she would do the same now.

……

The western district is an abandoned industrial area, with factories and warehouses more densely packed than residential areas, providing more hiding places for the strange beasts.

Song Chen walked ahead, his Illusionary Eyes fully activated. In his golden vision, every factory building, every warehouse, and every alleyway became transparent.

The location, number, and rank of the strange beasts were all clearly visible in his field of vision; some were in groups of three or five, while others were alone.

There are more items here compared to the East District, but the quality is relatively lower.

Song Chen didn't choose to tackle them one by one; that would be too slow. He needed a more efficient approach.

He turned to look at Lin Yu: "You wait here, don't follow me."

Lin Yu paused for a moment, but nodded.

Song Chen walked into the West District and stopped in a relatively open space.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them. His Illusionary Eyes and Nine Heavens Thunderous Movement were fully activated, and the Thunderclap Blade was drawn.

Nine arcs of electricity shot out simultaneously from the Thunderclap Blade, heading in nine different directions.

Each arc of electricity flew precisely towards the hiding place of a second-tier alien beast, piercing through walls, roofs, and floors, exploding into blue-white lightning on the beast's body.

Nine screechs rang out simultaneously, and nine second-tier beasts died at the same moment.

[A second-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining fifty kill points.]

[A second-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining fifty kill points.]

[A second-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 62 kill points.]

……

Then, the Wings of Gale propelled Song Chen's figure deeper into the western district, and the arcs of electricity on the Thunderclap Blade drew blue and white arcs in the setting sun.

Without catching his breath or thinking, he simply swung his sword, one strike after another, each one taking the life of a strange beast.

A second-tier beast can be killed with a single strike, a third-tier beast with the same amount of force, and as for a first-tier beast, the residual power is enough to kill it.

With the enhancement of the Great Perfection Thunderous Annihilation Blade, his swordsmanship became faster, more ruthless, and more precise than when he was at the Tianhe South Fortress.

System notifications kept ringing in Song Chen's mind, but he didn't have time to check them.

His body was operating automatically, the knife was swinging automatically, and lightning was being released automatically.

But this time, something is different.

wrong.

It was very faint, so faint that it was almost imperceptible, but Song Chen's Mystic Vision caught it.

About five kilometers to the northwest, on the top floor of an abandoned factory building, there was a faint, abnormal psionic fluctuation.

The distance was too far, and he didn't know what it was; he could only tell that something was wrong.

It's like a snake lurking in the grass, only half its head showing.

Song Chen paused for a moment as he focused his attention, using his Illusionary Eyes to probe deeply in that direction, and activating his full psychic analysis.

What's on the top floor of the abandoned factory five kilometers away, behind the window?

The fluctuation vanished the moment he probed, as if he had been discovered, as if the person knew he was watching, and then withdrew all his presence.

Something's strange...
