Chapter 523: Slaughtering Mad (Please vote for monthly tickets)

Lin Qi locked onto his target for the hunt—a Great Strength Ape.

According to textbook knowledge, it takes two Earth-Splitting Wolves to barely kill one Great Strength Ape.

In terms of strength, the Great Strength Ape is even more powerful!

The Great Strength Ape is burly and massive, its entire body covered in black fur like steel needles, with muscles knotted like rock.

Its arms are especially unique, so thick they seem capable of holding up the heavens and earth.

One can tell from its name that it possesses terrifying strength.

Once struck by its fist, even a Seventh Realm battle armor cannot withstand the terrifying force.

"Roar!!"

The Great Strength Ape roared at the sky, its ferocious face full of killing intent, its fist, as huge as a millstone, swung out suddenly, smashing vertically down at Lin Qi.

With a gale blowing in his face, Lin Qi ejected from the spot, leaping into the air, exerting force through his arms to thrust out his Black Gold Great Spear, a golden spear Gangjin exploding outward.

"Bang bang!!"

"Boom!!"

The Great Strength Ape guarded its front with its arms, but the impact of the spear Gangjin forced it to retreat step by step, tripping over a dilapidated tank and falling heavily to the ground.

Lin Qi's lips curled upward as he brandished the Black Gold Great Spear and shot straight down.

His body had completely warmed up, his strength feeling increasingly powerful, an inexhaustible supply of force throughout his body.

Fighting against a Seventh-Level Disaster Beast, he felt he could fight for an entire day.

Every Seventh-Level Disaster Beast is a source of merit points!

"Puff, puff~~"

A few passing Rending-Claw Apes tried to help, only to be instantly pierced through by the spear Gangjin, turning into Lin Qi's merit points.

……

Time passed slowly, and the super-large disaster beast tide gradually entered a white-hot stage.

The disaster beasts from the Space Gate seemed endless; as long as it remained open, they would continue to rush out in a steady stream.

Ordinary low and mid-level disaster beasts are killed by ordinary martial artists.

But high-level disaster beasts can only be dealt with by High Realm martial artists!

The number of High Realm martial artists is too small, and everyone's pressure is increasing.

"Hoo hoo!!"

In the distance, Xu Qin, wearing green battle armor and wrapped in vine armor, shuttled through the strong winds.

In her perception, three Seventh-Level disaster beasts nearby had set their sights on her.

However, she is a top-tier SSS-level genius who has awakened two abilities; given time, she could completely kill the three Seventh-Level disaster beasts!

Following Lin Qi's defeat of Gu Cheng, she also felt the pressure.

She must work harder to improve her strength, or she would sooner or later be surpassed by Lin Qi.

"Roar~"

Accompanied by a roar, a massive figure went against the flow of other disaster beasts, turned around, jumped into the Space Gate, and fled.

Xu Qin was stunned to see this scene for the first time, seeing a Ninth-Level disaster beast that would run away.

She had heard there was a Mountain-Moving Ape that would run away and flee back to the other world every time it couldn't win.

Now that she saw the Mountain-Moving Ape running again, she had grown accustomed to it.

Thus, she threw herself back into the battle; at the same time, at the edge of her vision, a behemoth over a hundred meters tall crashed to the ground.

In the sky, a Black Gold Gray Eagle was plummeting toward the earth.

……

"Zzz!!"

"Boom!"

In the sky, this was a thunder domain, with a radius of a hundred zhang covered by silver lightning.

The lightning enveloped the Platinum Evil Tiger, the evil aura and lightning colliding, thunder striking continuously; a moment later, a burnt smell permeated the air.

"Die!!"

A deep male voice rang out, like the sound of judgment.

A hundred-meter thunder spear Gangjin condensed, and accompanied by dazzling lightning, it thrust out with a boom, piercing the Platinum Evil Tiger's skull.

The massive body crashed to the ground, its huge head detached from its body, splashing blood onto the ground.

"Skree!!"

In the sky, accompanied by a shrill eagle cry, the Black Gold Gray Eagle's body fell along with its blood.

It slammed into the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

Senior Shanhe Wang, in silver armor, flew to the side of the Purple-Armored Overlord.

Looking not far away, a burly figure had already rushed back into the Space Gate, turning into a black dot in the blink of an eye.

Senior Shanhe Wang looked at the back of the Mountain-Moving Ape, a smile appearing on his resolute face as he said:

"This beast really runs fast!"

The Purple-Armored Overlord nodded, looked around the battlefield, and said: "Take action to clear the battlefield!"

Senior Shanhe Wang nodded, then locked his gaze on the battlefield, his internal Golden Gangjin circulating, instantly condensing over a hundred brown spear Gangjin in the surrounding air.

Aimed at the high-level disaster beasts running out of the Space Gate!

"Puff puff puff~"

Hundreds of spear Gangjin shot out like artillery fire, piercing through more than twenty high-level disaster beasts.

Besides these, there were also a large number of low-level disaster beasts; they were cannon fodder and died instantly when caught in the crossfire.

Other Ninth Realm martial artists saw this and took action as well!

Various powerful Gangjin circulated, specifically targeting high-level disaster beasts, killing them one by one.

Ninth-Level disaster beasts are rare, and Ninth Realm martial artists usually obtain merit points by relying on hunting high-level disaster beasts.

At the same time, the Purple-Armored Overlord hovered in the air, condensing spear Gangjin like falling lightning.

Instantly piercing an Earth-Splitting Dragon, severely wounding it and saving an Eighth Realm martial artist.

Then he took action from time to time to kill high-level disaster beasts, reducing the pressure on the High Realm martial artists.

However, most of them were martial artists being besieged; one-on-one, they still had to rely on themselves.

For example, Master Mu Hong did not enjoy this treatment; he was still fighting the Golden Gangjin Tiger, in constant danger.

A moment later.

"Roar~"

The burly Great Strength Ape swung its arms, smashing toward Lin Qi; Lin Qi turned into lightning, six afterimages appearing out of thin air.

Gravel splattered, piercing through the afterimages.

Lin Qi brandished the Black Gold Great Spear, grazing the Great Strength Ape's arm.

"Puff~"

A gash opened, blood spraying wildly.

The Great Strength Ape became even more violent, directly activating its innate ability, its muscles swelling, its blood vessels bulging.

Its eyes turned blood-red, and its aura became even more ferocious.

"Roar~"

"Boom boom!!"

The Great Strength Ape stomped on the spot, waving its arms and legs, fists swinging without any technique, its hand speed extremely fast.

It is at its most dangerous at this moment.

Lin Qi did not take action, instead looking for an opportunity. While releasing spear Gangjin, aiming at the same spot every time, he dodged the bombardment.

Ten minutes later, Lin Qi was surrounded by golden Gangjin, his long spear thrust out, the killing move—Mountain and River Collapse—executed.

"Puff~"

The sharp spear tip, under the blessing of the Lord Jin Di Gangjin, fiercely pierced the Great Strength Ape's neck!

"Bang!!"

The Great Strength Ape's body crashed to the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

Merit points +8500

Lin Qi exhaled, revealing a smile; having killed three Seventh-Level disaster beasts, the merit points obtained were already close to twenty thousand.

It was simply too profitable!

Kill a few more, and he could buy another bottle of Blood-Spirit Potion.

The fourth blood exchange could be prepared in advance.

"Puff~"

"Roar~"

Not far from him, the massive body of the Steel-Boned Giant Tiger also crashed to the ground, a thick smell of blood permeating the air.

Lin Qi immediately went up to help!

He exchanged a glance with Liu Yuanzhang Jing, forming a tacit understanding to deal with the Iron-Armored Rhino together!

Five minutes later.

"Moo-woo~"

The Iron-Armored Rhino's massive body crashed to the ground, its softest part slashed by a flying knife; Lin Qi gripped the spear with both hands, piercing the wound and wantonly destroying its internal organs.

The Iron-Armored Rhino moved for a moment, then completely lost all movement!

Merit points +5000

Lin Qi looked at the panel projected by Sister Lian; this time hunting the Iron-Armored Rhino was a joint effort between him and Liu Yuanzhang Jing.

The merit points could not be swallowed alone, only split in half.

Ending the battle, Liu Yuanzhang Jing also exhaled.

He took a bottle of top-grade healing potion from his battle armor and drank it in one gulp.

Looking at Lin Qi, he felt a bit embarrassed; as a leader and elder, he actually needed Lin Qi's help to kill a disaster beast.

It was truly a bit shameful.

However, once he thought of Lin Qi's genius status, this embarrassment faded quite a bit.

Lin Qi, carrying the Black Gold Great Spear on his shoulder, looked around and sighed:

"Liu Yuanzhang Jing, the pressure on High Realm martial artists is too great; on average, we need to deal with three Seventh-Level disaster beasts at the same time."

Liu Yuanzhang Jing nodded and said:

"But the early stage is the most difficult; once the Ninth Realm martial artists free up their hands, we will also be a bit more relaxed."

Lin Qi nodded, opened the panel, and checked his ranking.

【Name: Lin Qi (Black Dragon Base)】

【Realm: Seventh Realm Blood Exchange】

【Merit Points: 30056】

【Base Ranking: 404→380】

【Total Ranking: 3580→3400】

……

Lin Qi nodded secretly as he looked at the ranking; the base ranking had improved by 24 places compared to last time.

It was mainly thanks to Gu Cheng's 100,000 merit points!

Otherwise, relying on himself alone, he might have had to hunt disaster beasts for a while longer to improve.

After today's battle, the ranking might be able to improve by dozens more.

"Roar~"

"Lin Qi, dodge quickly!"

Suddenly Liu Yuanzhang Jing's eyes widened, and he roared; Lin Qi felt a strong crisis and instinctively rushed out.

A massive figure appeared in the sight of the two.

This was a giant lizard over fifty meters long, its skin like dark brown rock.

Eighth-Level Disaster Beast—Earth-Splitting Dragon!

The Earth-Splitting Dragon's tail, like a steel whip, lashed at the earth, gravel splattering and forming clouds of dust.

Lin Qi dodged, looking at the massive Earth-Splitting Dragon in front of him with a solemn expression; an Eighth-Level disaster beast is indeed not comparable to a Seventh-Level one.

The explosive power of that pounce just now was something Seventh-Level disaster beasts did not possess.

Especially the opponent's tail, like a steel whip, was unusually flexible; he had almost been hit.

On a dilapidated building not far away, a burly figure appeared.

With broad features and a tall stature, he wore black-red battle armor and held a giant battle axe.

Lin Qi looked at the person who had arrived, feeling the Eighth Realm aura emanating from him.

It was very similar to Pei Hongfeng.

Liu Yuanzhang Jing came to Lin Qi's side and said slowly:

"This is Meng Wu, former Southern Inspector, an Eighth Realm peak martial artist, ranked 16th on the Eighth Realm total list!"

"Southern Inspector?"

Lin Qi remembered Director Yi Ming; the other party was the current Southern Inspector!

And the other party's strength was indeed strong, ranked 16th among all Eighth Realm martial artists, only slightly worse than Pei Hongfeng.

Liu Yuanzhang Jing whispered: "He was demoted, and it has something to do with you; it's better to stay away from him!"

"Let's go hunt other Seventh-Level disaster beasts!"

Lin Qi nodded, turned to look at Meng Wu; it had something to do with him, could it be because of that matter with Zhang Tai?

He didn't dwell on it and quickly left with Liu Yuanzhang Jing.

Meng Wu, standing on the dilapidated building, looked at the departing Lin Qi and narrowed his eyes.

Thinking that his current situation was all because of Lin Qi, a nameless fire suddenly surged in his heart!

"Roar~"

The Earth-Splitting Dragon's roar pulled him back to reality!

Looking at the Earth-Splitting Dragon pouncing over and blocking out the sky, Meng Wu roared, venting the fire in his heart.

"Beast, you're courting death!"

"I'll hack you to death!"

Having said that, Meng Wu leaped high, his body erupting with a terrifying brown light, and an axe Gangjin several meters long slashed out.

He was at the Eighth Realm peak; dealing with an Earth-Splitting Dragon was not difficult!

Immediately, a battle unfolded once again.

……

"Puff puff puff~"

"Bang!!"

On the battlefield filled with smoke and the smell of blood, a cruel war was being waged, countless drops of blood watering this land.

Senior Shanhe Wang hovered in the air, looking for Lin Qi's figure.

From time to time, he released heavy spear Gangjin, killing Seventh-Level disaster beasts and reducing the pressure on High Realm martial artists.

With his Ninth Realm cultivation, the destructive power of the Gangjin he condensed was stronger; the skin of Seventh-Level disaster beasts was like thin paper.

As long as a martial artist breaks through a major realm, facing lower-realm disaster beasts is basically a one-hit kill.

Having continuously killed more than a dozen Seventh-Level disaster beasts and easily earned tens of thousands of merit points, he also found Lin Qi.

Seeing the other party cooperating with Liu Yuanzhang Jing to fight four Seventh-Level disaster beasts, with Pei Yiqing having joined in the middle.

The three were fighting four Seventh-Level disaster beasts; Lin Qi, as the strongest of the three, bore the brunt, releasing golden spear Gangjin.

A diving Rending-Sky Eagle was pierced through the neck, feathers and blood splashing out as it fell from the sky.

Senior Shanhe Wang couldn't help but nod secretly after watching; Lin Qi's strength was indeed very strong.

Ordinary Seventh Realm martial artists who had undergone three blood exchanges were no match for him at all.

Even if he encountered an Eighth-Level martial artist, it wouldn't matter, and he could even escape from a Ninth-Level martial artist.

Senior Shanhe Wang had always been worried about the Insect Race, but he knew that without a Tenth-Level disaster beast taking action, they would not dare to assassinate Lin Qi.

So as long as things continued like this, Lin Qi would be very safe.

……

As time passed, Ninth Realm martial artists charged at the forefront, continuously killing high-level disaster beasts.

Ordinary martial artists killed mid and low-level disaster beasts, and even fighter jets and transport vehicles were activated, beginning preparations to transport the Ninth-Level disaster beast corpses.

One hour later.

The Space Gate began to close, shrinking continuously, and finally, like a turned-off television, the light merged and disappeared without a trace.

No new disaster beasts rushed out!

Ninth Realm martial artists saw this and began to return one after another, leaving the battlefield to others and protecting the transport planes as they carried the Ninth-Level disaster beasts back to the base.

The battle was still continuing, and the remaining disaster beasts were being killed fewer and fewer.

Three hours later, some martial artists returned to the rest hall, and medical staff were treating the wounded.

Five hours later, some martial artists had recovered and stepped onto the battlefield again to continue hunting.

The Lieyan Squad was just like that.

"Bang!!"

Liang Tai brandished his great spear, thrusting continuously, piercing several blood holes in a Golden Giant Wolf.

As the Golden Giant Wolf fell, he collected the merit points, panting heavily, sweat beads constantly overflowing from his forehead, mixed with mud and dust.

He couldn't help but sigh; without Lin Qi, their days had returned to the way they were before.

The difficulty of obtaining merit points had also risen in a straight line, making it difficult for the four members of their squad to adapt.

"Perhaps our squad should also recruit new members!"

……

At this time, on the front line of the battlefield, Lin Qi had completely gone slaughtering mad.

Ever since teaming up with Liu Yuanzhang Jing, the two of them had begun a crazy slaughter.

Looking for Seventh-Level disaster beasts to hunt, and without them needing to specifically look, the Space Gate opened, and high-level disaster beasts were everywhere.

The one thing not lacking was Seventh-Level disaster beasts.

Soon they were surrounded by Seventh-Level disaster beasts; Lin Qi charged at the forefront, while Liu Yuanzhang Jing was responsible for controlling flying knives to assist with long-range attacks.

They hunted several Seventh-Level disaster beasts, and even Pei Yiqing joined in.

She had just broken through to the Seventh Realm, and her strength was limited; once surrounded by two Seventh-Level ones, she would fall into a dangerous situation.

The three hunted disaster beasts together for several hours in a row.

Lin Qi only felt his body and mind were clear, exceptionally refreshed.

Every time he killed a disaster beast, he would harvest a large number of merit points; these were all money.

Merit points +3000, merit points +2000, merit points +1000, merit points +5000……

Without looking, he knew his merit points were rising rapidly.

In a huge crater, three massive figures and three human figures were fighting.

Liu Yuanzhang Jing endured the exhaustion of body and mind, controlling three flying knives like three silver streams of light, shooting at the Great Strength Ape in front of him from different angles in the air.

The Great Strength Ape's weaknesses were the back of its head and its neck.

As long as they were slashed open, it could be made to bleed to death.

Dozens of meters away, Pei Yiqing, wearing red armor and with a curvaceous figure, was struggling to dodge the attack of an Earth-Splitting Wolf.

She was quite disheveled at this time, sweat beads constantly overflowing from her forehead, and her battle armor had also suffered varying degrees of damage.

"Grr~"

And in the distance, Lin Qi was again tangled with an Iron-Armored Rhino.

At this time, his Black Gold battle armor was different from its initial brand-new appearance, with several claw marks appearing, although they hadn't torn the armor.

But the damage left behind proved that the battle he had experienced was not easy.

"Moo-woo~"

Facing the Iron-Armored Rhino, whose body was as towering as a small mountain, Lin Qi was not afraid at all.

Even though the opponent's spiral rhino horn pierced the air, emitting a whistling sound, he circulated the movement technique manual "Lei Jijiu Shan".

After a day of continuous execution, Lin Qi felt his body becoming even lighter.

Especially when using the blessing of 【Jin Guang】, his whole person was as fast as lightning, like a flexible fish.

"Bang bang bang!!"

Golden spear Gangjin shot out continuously, the Iron-Armored Rhino turning into a meat target to withstand the attacks.

A few minutes later.

Lin Qi became one with the spear, executing the killing move—Heaven and Earth Return to Ruins.

"Puff~"

The Black Gold Great Spear pierced the Iron-Armored Rhino's neck, and the opponent crashed to the ground.

Merit points +

"Hoo!"

Lin Qi pulled out the great spear; compared to the first time he hunted an Iron-Armored Rhino, this time was even easier.

This showed that his physical strength had greatly improved, and the destructive power of his moves was also stronger.

Lin Qi turned to protect Pei Yiqing, quickly killing the Earth-Splitting Wolf, and split 4000 merit points.

Finally, it was time to solve the Great Strength Ape!

"Bang bang!!"

Golden spear Gangjin hit the Great Strength Ape, blasting it backward repeatedly; Liu Yuanzhang Jing seized the opportunity, his three flying knives continuously tearing the Great Strength Ape's neck, killing it!

"Bang!!"

The Great Strength Ape crashed to the ground, kicking up a large amount of dust.

"Hoo!!"

Lin Qi took a deep breath, his body still excited, feeling no exhaustion.

He placed his gaze on the panel; after a day, his combat power had also improved.

【Super-large disaster beast outbreak, you fought against Seventh-Level disaster beasts, continuously killing disaster beasts, actual combat experience greatly improved.】

【Your mastery of "Shanhe Spear Art" has reached a new level, spear art +3%】

【Your mastery of the movement technique "Lei Jijiu Shan" is more proficient, movement technique +3%】

【Spear Art: Fourth Stage 75%→Fourth Stage 78%】

【Movement Technique: Fourth Stage 66%→Fourth Stage 69%】

……

After a day, Lin Qi's martial arts skills had been greatly improved.

This also gave him the confidence to defeat Gu Jian within three months.

"Junior Lin Qi, it's over!"

"Hoo hoo!!"

Not far away, Pei Yiqing walked over with a face full of exhaustion, panting heavily.

Beside her, Liu Yuanzhang Jing retracted his flying knives, his face full of exhaustion as he said:

"The high-level disaster beasts have basically been hunted; we can go back."

"Lin Qi, aren't you tired?"

He looked at Lin Qi, his eyes full of amazement.

He had truly gained insight today.

He had never seen a Seventh Realm martial artist with such good physical strength.

Fighting against Seventh-Level disaster beasts for a day, he was still full of energy, and his combat power was visibly getting stronger.

To describe it in one word, it was "abnormal".
