Mind Controller Xia Zhi

Rat-a-tat-tat—

Streams of bullets sprayed wildly as Liu Yan swung her machine gun toward the monsters charging from behind, shouting, "Captain, Shi Tou and I will hold them back! You guys hurry and clear a path!"

As she spoke, she flung out two high-explosive grenades. The violent blasts threw the monster pack into chaos, bringing their charge to an abrupt halt.

Xu Kui also roared, his axe spinning like a windmill as he hacked at the monsters already lunging at him. For a moment, beast blood and severed limbs flew everywhere.

"Charge!"

Captain Qin Feng bellowed and shot toward the monster pack ahead like lightning.

He held a short spear in each hand, swinging them repeatedly at the monsters' lower limbs.

With two loud bangs, the forelimbs of two monsters exploded on impact. Their bodies crashed to the ground, and the monsters behind them slowed for an instant.

Xia Zhi also erupted with full force, his Blood Shadow Battle Saber flashing as he swiftly followed beside Qin Feng.

The monsters whose forelimbs had been smashed and who had fallen to the ground were immediately sliced across the throat by the saber's light.

For a moment, the two worked together and forcibly carved a gap through the monster pack charging straight at them.

"Yan, Brother Xu, hurry and follow!" Xia Zhi shouted over his shoulder.

Xu Kui had just killed two Tiger Mastiffs with his axe when three more enraged monsters roared and attacked him at once.

"Not good." Xu Kui's expression changed after he used his shield to block the first monster's charge.

In the chaos, he had failed to notice that it was a Beast General level monster. The tremendous impact made him stagger, knocking aside the shield before him and exposing his body to the monster.

"Roar—" Another Ironhide Bull seized the chance to charge in. Its sharp horns were like two daggers, instantly piercing through Xu Kui's shield-bearing left arm.

"Ah! You bastard!" Xu Kui cried out in pain, tightening his muscles around the horn as his right-hand axe chopped toward the Ironhide Bull.

"Shi Tou!" Seeing Xu Kui's arm pierced through by the horn and two other monsters about to attack him, Liu Yan cried out. She swung her gun around and opened fire, riddling the two Berserk Bulls with Blood Holes.

Without the machine gun suppressing them, the monster pack charging from behind roared as the leading monsters picked up speed again and rushed toward Liu Yan and Xu Kui.

"Leave us! Xia Zhi, you and the captain go first. If even one of you survives, that's enough."

Hearing Xia Zhi call out behind her, Liu Yan shouted without turning her head.

After killing the Ironhide Bull with his right-hand axe, Xu Kui swung it one-handed and charged toward the monsters rushing up behind him. "Ah! Captain, you go first! If we don't hold them back, none of us will get away!"

Surrounded by a monster pack of over a thousand monsters, even a General level expert could only flee in a sorry state.

Trapped here between enemies in front and behind, even a General level Elite Squad like the Golden Spear Squad would only be swallowed by the endlessly surging monster pack.

Seeing the wound on Xu Kui's left arm, where bone was already visible,

Xia Zhi was filled with guilt. The moment he had discovered the monster pack, he should not have hesitated. He should have used Mental Power to control his throwing knives and break them free. Then Xu Kui would not have been injured.

The throwing knives strapped to Xia Zhi's thigh instantly rose into the air, hovering around his body.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The twelve throwing knives instantly turned into phantoms. Six flew toward Liu Yan and Xu Kui behind him, while the other six shot toward Qin Feng.

With a wet squelch, the throwing knives pierced straight through the heads of the charging monsters. Under Xia Zhi's Mental Power, the twelve throwing knives pierced through the heads of more than forty monsters closest to them in the blink of an eye.

Monster blood sprayed along with the flying knives. The entire alley seemed stunned by the sudden scene, falling silent for a moment.

The more than forty monsters had been sprinting at full speed, but after being instantly killed by the throwing knives, their bodies crashed to the ground.

Carried by momentum, the fallen bodies scraped across the ground and slid more than ten meters.

In an instant, the Golden Spear Squad was surrounded by monster corpses sprawled across the ground.

"Captain! Yan!"

Xia Zhi roared, "Follow me! We're leaving here alive together!"

Liu Yan and Xu Kui had already resigned themselves to death, intending to risk everything to buy Xia Zhi and Qin Feng a sliver of hope. When they saw the monsters before them suddenly killed by throwing knives, they froze.

Xu Kui even forgot about the wound on his left arm and wanted to rub his eyes.

That's right—the throwing knives were controlled by an invisible force, leaving phantom trails through the air as they precisely pierced through one monster after another.

"A Mind Controller?"

"Controlling objects from afar!"

"Xia Zhi is a Mind Controller?"

Thought after thought flashed through Liu Yan and the others' minds. Their faces, once pale, flushed red with excitement. Liu Yan even shrieked, "Xia Zhi, I love you to death!"

"Charge forward!" Xia Zhi growled.

Captain Qin Feng shouted, "Listen to Xia Zhi! Follow him!"

Rumble— The frenzied herd of bull monsters ahead began running again. Nearly three hundred bull monsters thundered forward, each as large as a small truck. Their enormous hooves pounded against the concrete, shaking loose bits of plaster and broken bricks from the buildings on both sides.

At the front, Xia Zhi led the other three members of the Golden Spear Squad straight toward the charging bull herd. Overwhelmed by the herd's momentum, the three behind him could only grit their teeth and follow him forward.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

The twelve throwing knives completely transformed into flowing phantoms. Xia Zhi's gaze was icy as he ignored the bull herd ahead.

Any monster that came within twenty meters of him had its head instantly pierced by a throwing knife. Not a single monster could rush in front of them.

Qin Feng, Liu Yan, and Xu Kui were all stunned as they followed behind.

"I saw people saying Mind Controllers were powerful on the forums, but... this is way too ridiculous!" Xu Kui muttered.

"Why are we even running? These thousand monsters aren't enough for Xia Zhi to kill by himself," Liu Yan said as well.

"Stop talking nonsense. With such a huge commotion, the longer we drag this out, the more monsters we'll attract!"

Qin Feng laughed as he scolded them. "He can kill a thousand, but what about five thousand? Ten thousand? Do you think Xia Zhi's Mental Power doesn't get used up?"

Even while being attacked by monsters from both front and back, they still had the mood to chat.

It was clear that under the protection of Xia Zhi's throwing knives, the other members of the Golden Spear Squad felt no pressure at all. Every monster that came close was killed by the throwing knives turned into phantom streaks.

At last, they reached the end of the alley. Led by Xia Zhi, they slaughtered their way through the herd of more than three hundred bull monsters and rushed onto the street.

After quickly looking left and right, Xia Zhi shouted to them, "This way!"

Although quite a few monsters in the pack behind them had died,

they were bloodthirsty and crazed, completely unafraid of death. They howled and continued charging after them.

With no monster pack blocking their path ahead, Xia Zhi and the others instantly increased their speed.

After the pursuing monsters lost nearly another hundred to the throwing knives, the Golden Spear Squad turned onto a distant street, then climbed over a wall and entered a nearby building, finally shaking them off.

By then, the beast tide outside had grown increasingly intense due to that enormous roar and the collapse of entire buildings. Many monsters even charged straight toward the Wilderness Zone beyond the city.

It was as if some enormous threat lurked within the city, driving them to flee for their lives.
