Lightning Chain Slash: A supreme technique of the Silver realm within Thunder Rolls the Nine Heavens. It allows the user to rapidly close the distance to targets within ten meters and unleash ten lightning-fast sword strikes. Each strike possesses twice the killing power of a normal attack.
While the killing power of each individual strike may not seem as potent as the combat skill Seven Stars Fall From the Sky, the sheer volume of ten strikes makes it formidable.
If all ten strikes land on the same spot, their combined destructive force is not to be underestimated.
After felling the first Tyrant, Qin Shilei once again transformed into a blur and charged towards the second one.
With another Lightning Chain Slash, he swiftly dispatched the Tyrant.
It was only then that the commander reacted, shouting loudly, "Be careful not to hit this Divine Eagle Hero by mistake!"
The soldiers promptly redirected their gun muzzles away from Qin Shilei's area.
"Commander, should we still retreat?" the company commander asked sheepishly.
"You idiot, with such a powerful Divine Eagle Hero present, what are we retreating for?" the commander retorted with a laugh.
"Commander, this seems to be Qin Shilei, the top expert on Blue Star," someone reminded him.
"So it's the top expert, no wonder he could instantly kill a Tyrant," the commander realized with sudden clarity.
He paused before continuing, "Don't just stand there like fools. If we can't kill the Tyrants, can't we at least kill the regular zombies?"
By this time, Qin Shilei had reached the last Tyrant.
He retracted his sword energy and met the incoming fist with a slash.
With a clang, although he felt some strain, Xue Po still managed to cleave off half of the Tyrant's fist with a single strike.
Sensing it was outmatched, the Tyrant actually turned and fled.
Thunderclap Stab!
Qin Shilei unleashed dozens of stabs into the Tyrant's back.
Instantly, over ten gaping wounds appeared on the Tyrant, and blackish-purple blood splattered out.
For a human, such numerous sword wounds would have been fatal.
However, as these wounds did not strike vital areas, the Tyrant, though affected, continued its desperate escape.
Qin Shilei flashed forward to pursue, then leaped into the air, swinging his sword towards the Tyrant's neck.
A meter and a half of sword energy extended from the tip of his blade, striking the Tyrant along with Xue Po.
The sword energy swept past. The Tyrant ran another five or six meters before its head was severed from its body.
The Tyrant's massive head detached and slid from its neck. Immediately, its colossal body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Impressive!
The killing power of the sword energy was far greater than that of Xue Po alone.
Just then, a surge of blood energy flowed from Xue Po into Qin Shilei's body, invigorating him.
He hadn't expected to absorb the enemy's vitality by using sword energy.
With the three most powerful Tyrants slain, Qin Shilei turned his attention to slaughtering the remaining mutated zombies.
Xiao Qiang also continuously swooped down from above the zombies, using its claws to kill countless mutated zombies.
A few minutes later.
The remaining zombies were all annihilated through the combined efforts of Qin Shilei and the soldiers present.
"Thank you for saving us, Mr. Qin. The 105th Corps of the Storm Legion will forever remember this kindness," the commander said, bowing deeply in sincere gratitude.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin!" the soldiers who had narrowly escaped death echoed gratefully.
"You're welcome," Qin Shilei replied with a nod.
"Mr. Qin, these are your treasure chests and crystal cores," the commander said, gesturing to the spoils of war being collected by the soldiers.
"I appreciate your trouble," Qin Shilei said, with a casual wave of his hand, collecting the treasure chests, crystal cores, and ability beads.
He then also collected the bodies of the Tyrants and mutated zombies, as the Willow Tree required a large number of zombie corpses for sustenance.
"Goodbye!" Qin Shilei leaped forcefully onto Xiao Qiang's back and flew towards the Rock Battle Group's position.
"Is this the demeanor of the top expert? Powerful mutated zombies are as easy for him to deal with as chopping vegetables." someone marveled.
"If I had even half his strength, I would be perfectly content," another person fantasized.
"You're dreaming. If you had a tenth of his strength, you'd be laughing in your sleep," someone else cruelly remarked.
Watching Qin Shilei depart, the excitement in everyone's hearts lingered, and they resumed killing zombies with renewed vigor.
When Qin Shilei returned to the Rock Battle Group, the others had already begun killing zombies and gathering resources.
"You saved those soldiers? That quickly?" Kong Qingshu asked doubtfully.
"Yes, only the three Tyrants were a bit strong," Qin Shilei replied indifferently.
"Then hurry and lead your Rock Battle Group to level up!" Kong Qingshu also wanted to witness the strength of a Silver realm expert.
Qin Shilei naturally took on the responsibility of leading his battle group.
He charged forward towards the zombies, wielding Xue Po.
Instantly, the members of the Rock Battle Group witnessed Qin Shilei's invincible combat prowess.
Qin Shilei charged into the zombie horde like lightning, sending countless heads flying.
Even the mutated zombies couldn't withstand a second strike from him.
Their commander was like a zombie grinder, leaving a trail of corpses wherever he went.
To maintain his image of invincibility in the eyes of his battle group members, Qin Shilei unleashed various combat skills at will.
Sword energy crisscrossed the air, and lightning flashed!
In the eyes of the onlookers, Qin Shilei had become a series of afterimages weaving through the zombie horde, his precise movements impossible to discern.
In a short while, over a hundred zombies in front of them were all annihilated by Qin Shilei.
"Long live the Commander!"
"The Commander is invincible!"
"The Commander is invincible!"
The members of the Rock Battle Group couldn't help but exclaim in unison.
Qin Shilei raised his hand to press down in the air, signaling an end to their cheers. "Be humble. There is always someone stronger. Don't use the word 'invincible' again in the future."
Zhang Xiaoli pondered for a moment, then suddenly clenched her fist and exclaimed with conviction, "The Rock Battle Group is victorious in all battles!"
The others also shouted in unison:
"The Rock Battle Group is victorious in all battles!"
"The Rock Battle Group is victorious in all battles!"
"The Rock Battle Group is victorious in all battles!"
After shouting for a while, everyone finally calmed down and resumed killing zombies.
Through this test, Qin Shilei had a basic understanding of his current strength.
His strength was at least three times that of the Black Iron stage, and his speed had also doubled.
Only two trump cards, One-Punch Man and Phantom, remained untested.
He felt that with his current strength, he could take on ten of his former selves.
Afterward, Qin Shilei retreated behind the others, carefully observing their strength and coordination.
He also finally witnessed Kong Qingshu's abilities.
Kong Qingshu, possessing a wind attribute constitution, was faster than everyone present except Qin Shilei under the enhancement of her wind ability.
Her weapon was a whip, five to six meters long, which crackled with sonic booms as she swung it.
With a single wrap of her whip, ordinary zombies had their heads instantly severed.
Seeing Kong Qingshu's wild combat style captivated Qin Shilei's attention. Zhang Xiaoli was not to be outdone, unleashing various abilities from her hands.
Thousand Vines Technique! Giant Wood Bash! Flying Flower Pluck Leaf!
She either strangled zombies to death, smashed them to death, or cut them down with Flying Flower Pluck Leaf.
Zhang Qiang, Xie Haimei, and He Kaige also unleashed their respective ultimate moves, showcasing their heroic prowess as hall leaders in front of the battle group members.
Qin Shilei looked at his companions, whose strength had all greatly improved, and felt a deep sense of gratification.
