Chapter 434: What Is Power?

Lin An's surroundings, twenty-four alloy longswords appeared out of thin air, as if alive, encircling and rotating.

Standing in midair, the dark red longsword in his hand trembled instantly.

"Heavenly Human!"

Time froze.

The zombies rushing into the air appeared frozen in his eyes.

Vast battle information gathered and computed without pause in the Heavenly Human form.

Within a hundred meters around him, every roaring skull, outstretched rotting claws, and looming giant fists nearly froze in unison.

Weak points locked, killing sequence arranged.

In a time measured in milliseconds, a silver light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Mental power surged forth.

The surging spiritual energy at its peak violently infused each blade, turning them into a piercing killing intent.

"Sword Rain!"

"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh! Whoosh!"

The piercing sound of breaking air tore the atmosphere.

The longswords carrying spiritual energy shot out like arrows with no blind spots, like the grim reaper's scythe.

Flesh pierced, shattered.

Twenty-four streams of blood mist pierced the corpse horde, dividing the battlefield like scattered death-light.

The longswords infused with spiritual energy, driven by telekinesis, penetrated skulls without obstruction; the kinetic energy from the rapid impact blasted the zombies into fragments.

Almost in an instant.

Like blood traces radiating from a wheel axle, they appeared in the corpse tide, repeatedly piercing.

Silver, flashing like flowing light, the blades slew thousands of zombies.

In the meeting room, everyone stared, stunned, at the scene before them.

For the first time, they were shocked by the power the Awakened Ones could unleash.

In the image, Lin An stood motionless in midair, gripping the dark red longsword in his right hand.

Whenever a mutant charged into his front, he lightly swung a sword to cut it down.

As if it could cleave through anything.

Under the millions of vibrations of the high-frequency weapon, any mutant that touched it became as fragile as an infant.

Like a hot knife cutting butter, like slicing white paper.

Wang Meng watched helplessly as the fearsome tank's might loomed; just as he was about to throw a punch, Lin An backhanded a sword strike that cleaved it in half.

The corpses split apart like laser cuts, then slowly collapsed.

Alloy skin capable of resisting armor-piercing rounds at close range, under his hand, seemed as fragile as nothing.

"What exactly is this ability.."

Large numbers of Awakened Ones who likewise fought with cold weapons all stared, stunned, at Lin An in the image.

If Gao Tian gave them a feeling of awe and joy at the sight of prey, then Lin An's methods were simply unbelievable to them.

The slaughter continued.

With the Heavenly Human form's computational support, each strike's trajectory was flawless, as if embodying the essence of combat.

Efficient, ruthless slaughter.

The vast corpse tide rushed toward that blade light as if to its doom.

The zombies that had been charging even seemed to intend to stop.

In the meeting room, the staff officer gazed at the scene before him as if dreaming:

"Mutants... seem to be afraid.."

In just three seconds, over thousands of zombies died beneath the blades thrusting back and forth.

Were it not for the limited attack range of the swords, that number could soar to an exaggerated tens of thousands.

As for any mutant that got close, they were even more surely cut down by a single sword.

Corpses piled up beneath their feet, blood rain mixing with the continual downpour.

Thousands of zombies, three mutants..

Although for the massive corpse tide, this number is negligible.

But for the staff officer skilled at analyzing corpse tide offensives, he keenly sensed that the mutants in the tide had actually chosen to pause their assault.

"No.."

"Not afraid.."

The sole Second Level Awakened One of the Wangjiang Military Region gazed solemnly at the mutants that had suddenly dispersed into the corpse tide.

"That group of monsters, as if they had command."

"They intend to wear this person down with zombies.. Lin An's condition."

"His spiritual energy has dimmed somewhat."

At the battlefield's center, Lin An, wrapped in dazzling white light, no longer radiated spiritual energy outward; instead, it condensed upon him.

In the Heavenly Human form and while simultaneously controlling vast weapons, mental power was rapidly depleted.

The Wangjiang Military Region's Second Level Awakened One grew more alarmed the more he watched.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath, not turning back, and said solemnly to his superior:

"Very strong, extremely strong."

"His strength absolutely surpasses mine by more than one tier!"

Wang Meng heard the sound, nodding his head with a complex gaze; for a moment he actually didn't know what to say.

He recalled the words that Gao Yan had once said to him.

Lin An is very strong..

Don't act rashly..

Looking at the scene before him, he couldn't help but ask:

「Could it be, really... Third Level!? 」

Undoubtedly, Lin An in the picture, just the means he currently displays far surpasses the Awakened Ones of his own Military Region.

Second Level Awakened Ones nodded hesitantly, then shook their heads:

「Probably not. 」

「Although his speed and strength are several times mine, he probably hasn't yet reached the level of Third Level. 」

「The gap between Third Level and Second Level is too huge, too huge.. 」

In the midst of rapid thought, a spiritual power Awakened One obsessively watched Lin An manipulating weapons:

「Spiritual power Awakened Ones! Definitely spiritual power Awakened Ones! 」

「This kind of object-controlling means, I heard them mention it when I privately chatted with several large Military Region Awakened Ones. 」

A shocked exclamation.

「Just... 」

「Their spiritual power can control at most two weapons, and its power is nowhere near this strong. 」

「Lin An! He must be a Second Level spiritual power Awakened One! And moreover, the top-tier kind! 」

Beside him, the Body System Awakened One gave a bitter laugh with a dim gaze, adding:

「Not just. 」

「You spiritual power Awakened Ones have bodies so fragile they're dying.. 」

He couldn't help pointing at the deep crater Lin An's impact created; that spot was clearly an alloy ground.

「His body strength definitely reached the peak of Second Level. 」

「I wonder if he can rival a Mutant's defense. 」

The discussion surrounding Lin An's traits unfolded.

As Awakened Ones, their discussion speed was extremely fast.

No matter which system of Awakened Ones, they almost simultaneously believed that Lin An was surely a powerhouse in their own field.

Hearing the heated discussion behind him, Wang Meng felt utterly uneasy.

No need to say more.

But judging by Lin An's current performance, it's enough to be called an all-system Awakened One.

But the question is, does anyone in this world really capable of reaching this level?

His speed approaches the speed of sound, his body strength rivals alloy armor, and his power is terrifying enough to shatter Mutants.

His spiritual power, moreover, is exaggerated to the point of crushing all the spiritual power Awakened Ones he knows.

Rather than saying he's human, it's more accurate to say he's a complete monster.
