Su Yang's First Battle! The Undying Monsters

As he charged toward the three monsters, Su Yang understood what was happening.

The reason he was so bloodthirsty and eager to fight was what Lina had done earlier!

Back in the car, Zhao Shengshen had told Su Yang about her.

Lina's ability belonged to the second ability sequence, and she had already reached the third tier herself. She was the most talented Sequence Ability user the Soul-Reaping Bureau had seen in this jurisdiction in nearly a decade.

According to Zhao Shengshen, although Lina's ability did not belong to the first ability sequence, which was the strongest in combat, the Soul-Reaping Bureau relied on her in practically every battle.

Now it seemed that was indeed the case!

Lina's Sequence Ability not only made fighters fearless in the face of death and bloodthirsty and eager to fight, but also kept their minds clear. That was no easy feat.

Su Yang even felt that his mind was sharper and clearer now than it had been before.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yang had reached the three monsters.

He turned the hilt in his hand, and the blade tore through the air as he slashed fiercely at the green-haired monster in the lead, the one that had lost both hands.

But almost the instant Su Yang raised his hand, the three monsters anticipated his next move.

Their bodies stopped dead, losing all momentum as though defying the laws of physics, and their speed and direction changed abruptly.

Su Yang's slash missed, but the blade's terrifying speed sliced through the air and shattered rocks dozens of meters away.

Boom!

Shattered rocks and dust flew dozens of meters away.

Su Yang had not expected a full-force swing of his blade to produce such power.

Just as Su Yang was marveling at the strike he had unleashed, he felt a powerful impact against his waist!

In an instant, the impact sent Su Yang flying through the air, and he slammed hard into the ground.

Su Yang lay on the ground, coughing up mouthful after mouthful of blood.

Whether it was because the monster's heavy blow had injured his lungs, Su Yang could not catch his breath for several seconds.

By his rough estimate, more than half his ribs were broken.

Now, even the slightest exertion of his upper body sent piercing pain through him.

If he had not awakened his Sequence Ability earlier, greatly improving his physical condition,

Su Yang reckoned that attack alone would have finished him off right here.

This was the fucking monster Zhao Shengshen said didn't have much combat power?

Zhao Shengshen led me astray!

After sending Su Yang flying, the three monsters did not pause for a moment, charging at him again.

Watching the three monsters draw closer and closer, Su Yang tried to move out of the way, but his injuries were too severe. His body could not move an inch.

As he watched helplessly while the three hideous monsters charged at him with their bloody maws wide open, a trace of despair rose in Su Yang's eyes.

It's over. That bastard Zhao Shengshen has gotten me killed.

A thought even occurred to Su Yang: could Zhao Shengshen have a grudge against his parents, and was that why he had set him up like this?

Su Yang stared fixedly at the monsters charging toward him, bracing both hands desperately against the ground as he struggled to retreat.

Giving up was not in Su Yang's nature. He was still making one last struggle!

Just as the three monsters were about to reach Su Yang, his heart rate raced to a limit!

In an instant, Su Yang distinctly felt a powerful energy emerge within his body.

The power swiftly enveloped the places where Su Yang had just been injured, and the next moment, his body instinctively sprang up from the ground.

This energy and the energy Lina had sent into Su Yang's body earlier came from the same source, though by different paths!

And just after Su Yang leaped up, the three monsters reached the spot where he had been lying.

Boom!

Another shower of rocks flew!

When the dust cleared, Su Yang saw a huge crater.

Su Yang swallowed. "Sister Lina, it's all thanks to your Sequence Ability..."

If that sudden surge of energy had not repaired his body just now, the consequences were all too easy to imagine!

Having missed their attack, the three monsters charged toward Su Yang again.

The three monsters had the advantage of numbers, so Su Yang could only dodge and strike back at the same time.

But the three monsters seemed able to predict Su Yang's thoughts. Whenever he drew his blade to attack them, they always dodged the instant he made his move.

Their evasive movements happened almost at the same time as Su Yang began his attacks.

In gaming terms, they were using scripts...

Su Yang understood that this was probably what was called "Omniscience."

It was Omniscience's characteristic that allowed the three monsters to anticipate Su Yang's moves!

"Is this the ability of the Omniscience sequence?"

"What exactly is the source of the energy that lets these monsters move? Why can corpses that are completely dead stand up again and even use Sequence Abilities by instinct?"

As Su Yang watched the monsters attack him relentlessly, he could not help but wonder.

As one side attacked and the other fled, Su Yang could not hit the monsters, but they could hit him.

Fortunately, the energy Lina had sent into Su Yang's body earlier kept repairing him whenever he was injured and kept his mind clear all the while. Only then was Su Yang able to keep up this chase with the three mutated monsters.

Finally, after the battle had gone on for an hour, Su Yang distinctly felt the three monsters slowing down.

After Su Yang slashed one of the monsters and a chunk of green-haired flesh fell to the ground, they stopped attacking him.

The next moment, they dropped to the ground instead, searching for blood and chunks of flesh to eat.

Like sharks in the deep sea, they followed the scent of blood until they reached the corpse they had previously gnawed into a pile of mangled flesh, then feasted on it.

"This... are they eating?"

Watching the three monsters tear frantically at the mangled flesh, Su Yang felt his scalp tingle.

He finally knew where these monsters got their energy: by eating the corpses of those with Sequence Abilities!

"How are they any different from zombies?"

Su Yang shook his head, suppressing his shock.

While the three monsters were feeding on the ground, he quietly approached them from behind.

The three monsters were so absorbed in eating that they did not notice Su Yang approaching at all.

He struck with his blade!

The long blade, black as ink, carried a fierce wind as it slashed straight into one of the monsters! The monster Su Yang struck was cleaved in two!

Joy flashed in Su Yang's eyes, but the sight that followed made his face change dramatically.

The upper and lower halves of the monster Su Yang had just cut apart wriggled on the ground, and before long, they joined back together.

The monster had come back to life!

As though Su Yang had never attacked it at all, it resumed eating the pile of flesh and blood.

"Could this monster be impossible to kill?!"

Su Yang's face went pale with horror!
