Chapter 34: Rebellion Life from Zero

Boom——!!!

Thunder booms, and the Frenzy power is released.

The slash imbued with lightning tears through the air; blue lightning churns, warping the atmosphere, and ring‑shaped shockwaves surge outward at high speed, the massive roar shattering nearby walking corpses.

The raging lightning fully transforms into a thunder dragon, piercing the enemy formation ahead.

Several muscular brutes charging forward are blasted away by the sudden massive force.

Amid the crisp sound of bones cracking, they collide with all comrades behind them, tumble dozens of meters away, become charred husks, their life force completely severed.

These White Lotus Sect believers are empowered by Wusheng Laomu's divine technique, forming a line to charge; even a frontal cavalry charge meets their resistance.

They are elite that ordinary people cannot collide with head‑on, the meat grinder of the battlefield.

But! For Mu Yi, precisely because they bear so‑called divine technique, they are fragile and easy to shatter.

A so‑called deity that almost carries out world‑ending acts—what proper god could that be?

And for these Evil Demons and Heretics, lightning is their greatest nemesis.

"You killed a White Lotus Sect believer, triggering the related achievement: Eradicate White Lotus (0/1) Incomplete"

Achievement description:

Kill 100 White Lotus believers (6/100)

Achievement reward: White Lotus Treasure Chest (Blue)

The lightning fades, the battlefield seems to fall silent, only mindless walking corpses continue to howl.

"Not bad power!" Mu Yi laughed, pleased with his own Lightning Slash.

Derived inversely from Sharp Slash, a method specially paired with the Stonefire Dreamborn in his hand, the skill radiated almost perfect brilliance.

Compared with Sharp Slash, which concentrates all power on the blade edge and can break all defenses, it differs.

Lightning Slash gathers all Inner Qi for a burst, sacrificing some damage to widen the area of effect.

It is perfect for clearing the field.

The White Lotus Sect side seems to fall silent; Mu Yi no longer encounters any of their believers, and easily reaches the center of the encirclement.

"Who's in charge now?" Mu Yi didn't want to waste time; his combat presence was too conspicuous, even the White Lotus Sect couldn't handle him now.

But it won't take long before more and stronger enemies surround this side.

"I am! I'm Lin Jie! Captain of Rebellion Army Unit Seven!" Lin Jie, panting heavily, replied hastily.

Continuously wielding Ten Thousand Swords is a heavy burden for him, but having been conquered by Mu Yi's overwhelming display, he immediately rose.

"Are there any of your people nearby?" Mu Yi turned, cleaving a walking corpse, and calmly asked about the situation.

"No, we got scattered; in this direction there are probably only us left!" Lin Jie sounded despondent; comrades who were together yesterday are now dead or scattered, like a nightmare.

"Take your weapons, I'll lead you out!" Mu Yi raised his battle blade and roared.

Invisible ripples spread, and a new message refreshed on Mu Yi's retina.

"Morale Boost Successful, current Rebellion Army soldiers gain 'High Morale' status."

What could boost morale more than powerful reinforcements arriving in a desperate situation?

Rebellion Army soldiers in the dire strait, spurred by Mu Yi's heartening injection, each unleashed their utmost strength to break through.

"Kill!" Mu Yi led the charge through walking corpses, the Rebellion Army squad tightly followed behind him, with Lin Jie at the rear.

The group cut their way out of the encirclement at a speed like slicing melons, and with Lin Jie's strength there was no problem breaking the walking corpse siege, but the White Lotus believers were like a mountain, blocking their path.

Lin Jie gave his all yet managed to fell only one White Lotus believer; ultimately, because of the delayed breath, he was forced into the encirclement.

"Piercing Sun!"

Lin Jie's long sword turned into a terrifying red light, directly piercing the trailing army of walking corpses, but after releasing the red light his body went limp and collapsed to the ground.

The two youths beside him seemed familiar with the side effect of Lin Jie's technique and immediately lifted him up and fled.

After breaking out of the encirclement, Mu Yi led the group with Li Tian in a coordinated turn, beginning a strategic retreat; the White Lotus people did not pursue, fading away like a tide amid a strange bell chime.

"Dungeon Prompt: Faction mission Rescue Rebellion Army completed, currently 64 survivors."

"You obtained 6400 Zongwang Disaster Coins, 320 Rebellion Army reputation points."

Mu Yi sighed; the gap between factions was huge.

He had been on the move nonstop, yet aside from the people before him, everyone else had been completely wiped out?

Was it because of his intervention that both sides gave up capturing alive and chose the safest option—killing?

First find a place to settle down; he still needs to gather more intel from the Rebellion Army.

He was somewhat concerned about the Boundless Venerable that Li Tian mentioned earlier; he originally thought the Rebellion Army's power came from Military Strategists or other Hundred Schools.

After all, rebel armies throughout history have always had traces of those schools.

But now it seems the Rebellion Army's strength derives from some Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities.

After running back to the town with the group, everyone settled in a corner of the town.

"From now on, I'm your leader; any objections?"

Looking at the survivors, Mu Yi asked directly.

"You saved us; we'll follow you from now on!"

The weakened Lin Jie shook his head; without Mu Yi's arrival, they would all have perished—only the strong can lead them farther in this chaotic era.

The others also voiced their approval.

"My surname is Mu, given name Yi; from now on just call me the boss!"

Seeing the group cooperate, Mu Yi nodded; though they were all battered soldiers, at least he now had some strength under his command.

He assigned a few relatively healthy people to guard the perimeter; Mu Yi plopped down beside Lin Jie, weary from the successive battles.

"Earlier Li Tian told me you received the Boundless Venerable's inheritance; could you elaborate?"

Lin Jie, though a bit puzzled, didn't mind and began speaking about the inheritance.

After Mu Yi finished listening, his brows were tightly locked.

The Net's dungeons are not spawned from nothing.

They might be some absurd fantasies absorbed by the Net from certain pan-consciousness, or they could be time slices of a civilization that has experienced them, or even projections of events occurring in some universe.

And now, Mu Yi no longer knows what kind of dungeon this is, but one thing is certain: he has stepped into a vortex.

The Rebellion Army's power actually comes from the Buddhist Sect.

In such a small dungeon, it actually draws in enfeoffed deities, evil demons and heretics, heavenly gods and earth deities, human dynasties, and the Spirit Mountain Buddhist Sect……

Mu Yi couldn't help but lift his head to keep his tears from spilling.

He just wanted to find a Jiuzhou dungeon to learn some Military Strategist knowledge and skills, but now he's been thrown straight onto the stage—a total newbie who doesn't even understand battle formations.
