Chapter 60 They are the real prey
Chapter 60 They are the real prey
If Lin Ze was a sharp sword hidden in its sheath, its edge concealed, as still as a deep pool.
At this moment, the sword was completely drawn, its cold light piercing the night, unstoppable!
laugh!
A silver light tore through the inky sky, and Lin Ze's figure transformed into an extremely swift streak of light, crashing straight into the densest part of the crowd!
The sword flashed.
That wasn't a beam of light, but a curtain of light.
A seamless curtain of light woven from countless crisscrossing silver threads of death.
Wherever the silver thread passed, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and severed limbs were scattered.
No screams were heard, because death came too quickly.
Just as the sword was about to sever the neck, the murdered man's face still held the ferocity of the previous second.
Lin Ze's figure flickered, turned, and surged forward in the crowd.
With every step taken, several people fall.
Each sword strike brought forth a shower of blood.
He was like a grim reaper walking among men, reaping lives efficiently, precisely, and ruthlessly.
This was a one-sided, chillingly efficient massacre.
In just over ten seconds, the originally crowded area was cleared out, leaving a stark blank space with corpses lying haphazardly on the ground.
Blood stained the stone slabs, pooling into small streams, and the air was filled with a nauseating, heavy stench of blood.
The guild's thugs finally awoke from their bloodthirsty ferocity, their gazes towards Lin Ze shifting from ruthlessness to extreme terror and fear.
"Monster! He's a monster!"
"Run! Run away!"
It's unclear who shouted first, but the crowd instantly crumbled, with survivors screaming and fleeing in all directions for their lives.
Lei Yao and Mu Yuan's expressions changed drastically. They dared not linger any longer and turned to try to blend into the deserters and escape.
But as soon as they took half a step, a silver line followed them like a persistent leech.
puff!puff!
Two barely audible, sharp sounds.
Lei Yao looked down at the sword tip protruding from his chest. The light in his pupils dimmed rapidly, and his strength receded like a receding tide, causing his body to collapse limply.
On the other side, Mu Yuan clutched his slit throat, his mouth gurgling as blood gushed from between his fingers. He slowly knelt down, his gaze finally settling on the pool of blood on the ground.
Lin Ze withdrew his longsword, shook off the blood droplets on the blade, and turned his gaze to the fleeing figures.
He didn't stop; with a light tap of his foot, his figure transformed into a silver lightning bolt once more, and he gave chase.
One, two, three...
With each flash of the sword, a life came to an abrupt end.
The routed soldiers, like sheep being driven by wolves, rushed haphazardly toward the legion's blockade line.
"Stop them!"
Outside the cordon, Pandey recovered from his shock and gave the order without hesitation.
"Attention all units! Stop the fleeing individuals and maintain the blockade!"
The soldiers quickly erected riot shields, forming a human wall.
The fleeing guild members attempted to storm the defensive line, but were relentlessly pushed back by the legion.
Many others knelt down in despair, begging for mercy, or turned around and fought desperately.
But all of this was in vain under Lin Ze's sword.
The silver thread relentlessly weaves through the crowd, like the scythe of death, precisely reaping one target after another.
Four or five minutes later, Qinghui Square returned to silence.
The moonlight remained bright, shining on the square strewn with corpses and rivers of blood.
Lin Ze stood in the middle of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, his long sword pointing diagonally at the ground, breathing slightly heavily.
The state of extreme liberation slowly faded, and the heart-pounding aura also dissipated.
His black combat uniform was stained with blood, but his face remained calm.
After scanning his surroundings and confirming that there were no more survivors, he turned and walked towards the shadows at the edge of the square.
The footsteps were exceptionally clear in the deathly silence.
Every step he took was treading on a pool of blood, splashing tiny droplets of blood.
The soldiers present held their breath, watching the figure slowly walk into the darkness and finally disappear.
In front of the light screen.
Tang Wangyan let out a long breath, turned her head and exchanged a glance with Pan De, both of them showing extremely complicated expressions.
Before tonight, if anyone had told them that Jingzhe could escape unscathed from the siege of two powerful figures, Lei Yao and Mu Yuan, along with more than two hundred guild members, and even turn the tables and wipe out their opponents, they would never have believed it.
But this absurd thing actually happened right before their eyes.
Tang Wangyan finally understood why Jingzhe had stayed at Qinghui Square, which was unusual for her.
It appeared that Gangquan and Xueying had surrounded Jingzhe in Qinghui Square, but in reality, Jingzhe had used herself as bait to lure them there.
From beginning to end, they were the real prey.
"That's amazing!"
Zhuang Yi had lost count of how many times he had exclaimed in amazement tonight, his face filled with shock and admiration.
The feat of single-handedly annihilating two level 5 professionals and hundreds of guild members was simply beyond his comprehension.
Tang Wangshu and Pei Xuan were equally amazed.
"Jingzhe's slashes are incredibly powerful and fast; I wonder what his class is?"
Tang Wangshu sighed and looked at Lin Ze, who remained silent and seemed lost in thought.
"What do you think, Lin Ze?"
Lin Ze snapped out of his thoughts and chuckled, "Perhaps it's a new profession that hasn't been discovered yet."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Wangyan nodded in agreement.
"Very likely."
"Over the years, legions, guilds and families have been working hard to explore new professions. Almost every year, a new profession's job change path has been discovered, but everyone keeps it a secret."
"It now seems highly likely that Tian Shi has also grasped the career transition paths for the new professions, and there is more than one."
Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to be deep in thought.
Leaving aside the Awakening of Insects, intelligence reports have mentioned that the Winter Solstice possesses the ability to manipulate blood, making it highly likely that it will also be a new job after a job change.
It's clear that there were more than just two people in Tian Shi; there might have been other members who had switched to new professions.
By this point, no one doubted the existence of the celestial order.
Discovering the conditions for changing to a new profession could be attributed to chance or a stroke of luck, but the conditions for changing to two new professions cannot be explained by mere coincidence.
All the job change conditions known to the Federation so far, apart from those initially obtained from the job stone tablet, have been developed through extensive research and development, requiring a significant investment of manpower and resources.
Without a certain scale of resources and manpower, it would be impossible to discover two or more new career transition conditions.
"After tonight, the North District will be transformed." Pan De sighed, his tone tinged with emotion.
Tang Wangyan looked in the direction where Jingzhe had disappeared and nodded silently.
If Tian Shi's previous actions were just small-scale skirmishes, then tonight's battle has thoroughly demonstrated their terrifying strength.
The North District, which has always maintained a fragile balance, has suddenly been invaded by such an uncontrollable beast. No one knows what kind of turmoil it will cause.
However, the days ahead in the North District are destined to be anything but peaceful.
