Chapter 1022: Troublesome Day Walker

Bang bang! Bang bang!

In the fierce collision, a blinding flash of light erupted from the point of impact; in an extremely short time, the shockwave generated by the collision swept across everything nearby like ripples. The wind howled, accompanied by the massive airflow from the collision, and even a truck weighing over ten tons on the ground was completely lifted by the shockwave.

The fierce wind swept, and broken stones flew.

The few zombies on the ground were also turned into sieves under the flying debris.

From high above, the spiritual energy spreading from the attack center looked like ice blossoms blooming in the night, gorgeous yet carrying a cruel beauty.

Third-stage high-level, nearly approaching fourth-stage combat power, already resembling a legendary battle scene.

The twin swords slashed out at high speed, drawing afterimages.

Lin An wielded his swords with both hands; the combat simulation from high-speed calculation provided him with the optimal attack angle.

Sword aura crisscrossed; the tip of the sword blade, imbued with a large amount of spiritual energy, generated a sword aura nearly ten meters long, the dark-gold sword aura simultaneously containing blood and calamity power; under the Judgment eye, each strike was overwhelmingly domineering, pointing directly at the Day Walker's vital points.

Grooves intersected, and the ground was carved into deep trenches by the sword aura.

Scales shattered, green blood burst out, and numerous fine, narrow wounds appeared on the Day Walker's body surface.

Unlike before, when attacks could not break through defense even with massive spiritual energy, each strike now inflicted some damage on the Day Walker.

But in just a few seconds, the humanoid lizard's body was instantly covered in dense bloodstains.

Especially the head, which was the focus of attack, was split open with a huge gash deep enough to see bone.

But, it was still lacking a bit..

His gaze calm, under the violent onslaught Lin An still maintained absolute rationality; the simulated battle scenes of the next second kept refreshing in his mind like a movie.

In a direct clash of brute force, the spiritual energy shield on his body also emitted a piercing screech under the Day Walker's brutal attacks.

The dark blue shield tightly hovering over his body was like the toughest eggshell, trembling on the verge of breaking but never shattering.

One side unscathed, the other side miserable beyond compare.

In this battle of third-stage intermediate versus high-level, an underdog overcoming a stronger opponent, Lin An seemed to hold a huge advantage.

But the actual situation was not so.

The longer the fight, the heavier his heart felt.

After Lin An forcefully withstood the Day Walker's crossing double blades, he directly swung his sword to push apart the distance between them.

Consumption... too great!

To unleash maximum damage, each attack angle he sought came at the cost of enduring damage.

The spiritual energy shield is indeed domineering; it will not suffer any damage before the spiritual energy is exhausted.

But likewise, the astonishing consumption is staggering; if he hadn't converted his mental power into spiritual energy, he would now be on the verge of exhaustion!

In just a few short seconds, Lin An could already feel that his internal spiritual energy had dropped by more than half!

To avoid consumption, he even canceled the uninterrupted state for defending against sudden damage.

One side consuming spiritual energy for defense, the other side consuming spiritual energy for attack.

With both sides consuming simultaneously, the spiritual energy reserves inside his body were plummeting at a visibly rapid speed.

His thoughts raced.

After pushing apart the distance between them, in a brief moment of thought, Lin An coldly observed the wounds on the Day Walker's body that were healing.

What an abnormal regenerative ability!

Clearly he could feel that the Day Walker had not triggered super-effective self-healing, yet this terrifying speed of wound recovery had already far exceeded his expectations.

As soon as a sword cut exposed a bone-deep wound, the next moment this monster seemed able to absorb surrounding energy, quickly replenishing the lost vitality.

Even the vital point of his head that he attacked with all his strength began to recover more than half after a brief separation.

Different from the combat situation in the simulation.

Lin An originally intended to unleash multiple attacks in succession, break through the Day Walker's defense, then deliver a fatal blow.

But the attack always fell just short; each time he neared the critical point where he could slay this monster with a single sword, the abnormal regenerative ability forced him to add another strike.

Thus repeatedly, the Day Walker merely appeared miserable, but in reality suffered no fundamental harm, receiving no substantive damage.

Hard to imagine; if it were daytime, could this monster possibly be beaten to death?

In this predicament, Lin An could only temporarily cease his advance, leading the Day Walker to wander first.

For a moment, the two clusters of green and red spiritual energy light, like a chase, sped around the mine.

What to do?

His heart sank, but in the two seconds after breaking combat, the Day Walker's injuries were nearly fully recovered.

This meant that the effect gained for expending one-third of his spiritual energy was merely helping the opponent change a layer of skin.

Bang!

Pursuing from the Rear, the Day Walker, whose speed was not much slower than Lin An's, suddenly sprang up; its already fast speed surged even further.

A strike like a barbed thorn directly crossed the distance between them, fiercely gouging into Lin An's back.

Special ability attack!?

With a muffled groan, Lin An watched his spiritual energy reserves drop again, and for a moment he felt like a mouse trying to pull a turtle, utterly at a loss.

Zhang Tie!

With a fierce shout, under super-effective thought, Lin An simply let Zhang Tie act while he himself first recovered spiritual energy, considering ways to break the stalemate.

Here I come!

On the peak, the sturdy black shadow that had been firmly staring at the Day Walker leapt up without hesitation.

At the command, Xiong Hanzi, who had long been poised like a warrior, raised the blood-red gleam of the Lingchi under the moonlight and smashed it hard at the monster.

Die, old man!

Standing in midair, Lin An continuously gathered thunderous power in his hand; bolts of Judgment thunder fell from the sky like silver light exploding, continuously pouring down onto the Day Walker.

While Xiong Hanzi entangled the Day Walker, his mind continuously sought the optimal solution.

Seeing the Sun Walker's split right arm continuously regenerating, Lin An couldn't help but flash a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Xiong Hanzi, relying on the weapon's special effect, charged his attack to the limit; although it indeed produced a decent effect, he landed a crippling strike.

But the Sun Walker's regenerative ability was too monstrous; in just two or three seconds, the opponent began regenerating again.

At this moment, the two monsters, both like indestructible cockroaches, were locked in the most brutal melee.

Or rather, a one-sided beating...

In the midst of battle, Zhang Tie, transformed into a silver giant bear, clung tightly to the Sun Walker, blood from his mouth spurting out as if it were free.

Behind that broad back, covered in silver‑needle‑like fur, was already being pierced by the Sun Walker's blade into a honeycomb.

And relying on the property that grows stronger the more it fights, the miserably tragic Xiong Hanzi, at this moment, was like a black bear slapping a tree, repeatedly slapping the Sun Walker's occiput.

However, compared to the damage the Sun Walker inflicted on him, that giant palm's slap caused no damage.

At a glance, the two monsters seemed like lovers locked in an intimate embrace.

After all, how to kill it?

Subconsciously raising his head to glance at the horizon, Lin An's eyes flashed with continuous silver light.

If the battle sees no breakthrough and the entanglement continues, it's likely to fight until daytime...
