After crushing 2 Type 5 Vampires consecutively, Yue Zhong swept out with his Spirit, landing on Hu Man, while his eyes emitted killing intent.
Hu Man was able to evolve to this stage, this proved that he had the most potential. Within a short 2 years, he had already reached the Type 5 realm. If he was given more time, Yue Zhong would no longer be able to take him down.
"Hmph! Trying to kill me? Yue Zhong, you’re still lacking. After today, I will let you experience true fear and despair."
Hu Man’s perception was strong, the moment Yue Zhong emitted his killing intent, he could feel it. He snorted coldly, the fleshy wings on his back flapping once, before he shot towards the distance with a Mach 2.5 speed.
Yue Zhong controlled the Scarlet Reaper to push its speed to Mach 5, before chasing after Hu Man in a blaze. Within a breath, he had already reached in front of Hu Man, reaching out to grab him.
At the moment as the mechanical hands were about to close in on Hu Man, a strange glint flashed past his eyes. His body then flickered, disappearing before reappearing 20m away.
Hu Man laughed coldly, "My ability is Spatial Flicker. As long as you do not have any spatial disruption ability, you have no way of catching me."
Spatial Flicker was the strongest ability used for assassination and escape. If humans had this ability, there might be a flaw due to a lack of strength.
However, as Hu Man was a peak Type 5 expert, possessing a physique far surpassing humans, he was able to utilize this ability many times, thus, it would be difficult to kill him.
Hu Man eyed the distance, laughing coldly, "Furthermore, the time is up. Yue Zhong, today shall be the day you die!"
There was a sudden bad feeling in Yue Zhong’s heart.
Out of the blue, from a corner of the horde, there was a blue beam of light that shot towards the sky, enveloping it.
In that instant, Yue Zhong felt his body sink, as though he could not fly anymore, plummeting towards the ground.
Hu Man, as well as the 6 other Type 5 Vampires, also descended quickly.
The moment they landed, under the forceful suppression of a strange power, Yue Zhong and the Heart of Hope was ejected from the Scarlet Reaper.
Yue Zhong landed and waved his hand, keeping both the Heart of Hope and the Scarlet Reaper into his Storage Ring, before willing his Dark Dou Qi out.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he urged, there was no way to channel the Dark Dou Qi. All the skills were sealed and could not be utilized. His only current weapon was his flesh body.
"Shit! What’s going on?"
Feeling that strange suppression, Yue Zhong’s face turned ugly, He had been unbeatable so far because he was able to utilize his skills in combination to great effect. Once he could not use them, it would be a huge disadvantage to his strength.
Especially right now, when there were so many zombies all around him. Without the ability to fly, even a Type 5 expert would die in the midst of such numbers.
Hu Man laughed savagely, "Yue Zhong, are you very afraid now? Having lost those powers you’re so proud of, landing among the horde of zombies, all that awaits you is death!! I will watch how you die pitifully!! Haha!!"
Although Hu Man had evolved from the lower zombie life forms, he had never thought of them as his comrades. He only acknowledged those who were intelligent. The rest were all tools to be used.
At this time, on the ground, a dozen Type 3 Hunters charged over at the speed of sound.
Yue Zhong had not yet gotten his bearings when those Hunters had already opened their jaws wide, their tongues shooting towards him like bullets.
He pulled out the blade at his waist that had been fashioned from the tooth of a Type 5 Sea Snake, and the tongues all fell to the ground.
When the tongues landed, the ordinary zombies all around quickly grabbed them and began devouring them.
The ordinary zombies also had the instinct to strive for evolution. The flesh of the Hunters was nourishment for them to evolve. It was just that during normal times, due to the suppression of these higher-leveled freaks, they did not dare to attack them.
On the ground, all that could be seen were just zombies everywhere.
Yue Zhong quickly pulled out his Black Tooth Blade as well and slashed out in a circle.
In an instant, over a dozen low-level Evolved zombies were sliced in two, falling to the ground.
Yue Zhong continued to slash out with his weapons like a meat grinder, turning the zombies all around him into meat paste, as he made his way towards the area Hu Man had landed.
"Haha!! Without the powerful mech, you’re just an ordinary human with your abilities sealed!! Yet, you dare to challenge this Seat?! Simply ridiculous! This seat shall rip you apart and use your blood as wine!!"
Hu Man laughed out in an unbridled manner, and with a tap of his foot, he suddenly disappeared, before appearing in front of Yue Zhong, intending to grab at his head.
Yue Zhong’s speed suddenly exploded forth, twisting his body and the Type 5 Sea Snake Tooth in his hand. The strike caused a deep gash in the right chest of Hu Man, as black blood flowed profusely.
Hu Man then screamed out, as he tried to flee towards the zombies.
The moment he turned, Yue Zhong shot forwards.
"You fell for it!! Die!!"
Hu Man laughed out savagely, as he twisted back, sending a fist towards Yue Zhong. With his Type 5 strength, this was a punch that could destroy a tank.
Yue Zhong did not dodge it, instead, he sent out a punch to meet Hu Man’s fist.
At the moment both fists came to a clash, Hu Man’s right shoulder was twisted badly and flung uselessly to the side, his bones broken due to the impact.
Hu Man screamed out in pain while his face was contorted in disbelief, "AH!!! It hurts!! It hurts!! How can this be?! You’re just a human!! How can your strength and bones be stronger than mine?!"
Among those of the same realm, the physique of humans could not compare to the foreign races. Hu Man had used his own strength to frequently best other human evolvers. This was the first time he had been defeated in a physical clash.
"Seems like all of us are affected by the seal. You can die now."
The killing intent in Yue Zhong’s eyes intensified, as he shot forwards, his fist whistling towards Hu Man’s head. The explosive strength of the Type 5 realm blasted out, causing Hu Man’s head to explode upon impact.
Destroying Hu Man’s head with a single fist, Yue Zhong then turned around, pulling out his Black Tooth Blade and slashed down at another Type 5 Ancestor that had tried to get close, directly slicing him in two.
One Ancestor saw all these and screamed out in fear, "Quick! Flee!! This human is already a half-step Type 6 expert!! He’s on the verge of a breakthrough to the Type 6 realm!!"
Yue Zhong shot forward, his blade slashing out without mercy, directly killing that Type 5 Ancestor.
The 4 remaining Type 5 Ancestors had ugly looks as they retreated backward explosively.
Jiang Sheng pounced down from the skies, knocking one of them to the ground, as both of them got entangled.
Yue Zhong wielded the Black Tooth Blade, tapping his foot and shooting towards the remaining 3 Type 5 Ancestors.
At this time, a dozen Hunters arrived, bringing with them a putrid stench as they tried to pounce on Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong waved his Black Tooth Blade, and they were all split apart, their dismembered bodies falling to the ground.
After passing the corpses, Yue Zhong appeared in front of one of the Type 5 Ancestors, slashing out and slicing him in half.
The remaining 2 took the chance to flee a few hundred meters, jumping into the midst of the zombies.
Yue Zhong calmly pulled out his Electromagnetic Cannon and fired out into the distance.
The laser beam shot out, piercing through a dozen zombies, before blasting into one of the 2 Ancestors in the head, causing it to burst apart.
The remaining female Vampire disappeared within the ranks of the zombies.
After wiping out nearly all the Type 5 experts, Yue Zhong barely had time to breathe, when the endless horde charged right at him.
He waved his Black Tooth Blade in a frenzy, slaughtering the zombies that came at him.
As he sliced them up, he was thinking silently, "This cannot continue on, I need to kill my way out, otherwise, I will just die here from exhaustion."
Although he was almost invincible in a one-on-one fight, being in the middle of the horde with no way of flying, it would definitely be a death trap. No matter how high his Stamina, it would just be delaying the inevitable.
"The west! I remember that blue light came from the west. There has to be an answer there!"
He immediately made a dash for that direction, appearing beside Jiang Sheng, and killing the Type 5 Ancestor entangled with him in a single strike. After that, the both of them continued to charge westward.
As he slaughtered the zombies, every single slash would be done with the least amount of force and the most efficient movement, so as to maximize the killing rate while minimizing the stamina usage.
Under that sort of constant slashing, Yue Zhong utilized the blade techniques that he had picked up, making his movements simple and efficient, as he became more proficient in the Dao of the Blade. If this had been before the apocalypse, his blade techniques would have been enough to qualify him as a grandmaster. Of course, it was considered a slaughterer blade technique.
