The Might of the Myriad Souls Banner, Cutting Through the Battlefield
"Understood!"
Qin Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze cold as he watched the beast horde converging from afar.
Soul energy and Blood Essence from within the Myriad Souls Banner continuously poured into his body, replenishing his depleted spiritual force and stamina, keeping him at his absolute peak at all times.
The slaughter just now had not exhausted him in the slightest. Instead, it had thoroughly ignited the killing intent in his heart, making the blood throughout his body seem ready to boil.
In this state, his absorption of soul energy and Blood Essence seemed to have become even faster.
The more Monsters that came to kill him, the better!
"Intermediate Beast General Level Monsters: Twin-Tailed Tiger Cat, Reckless Bull, Purple Lightning Python. There are more than a dozen Primary General Level Monsters, and even flying Fierce Beasts. The Monsters in City 003 truly are powerful!"
Looking up at the sky, Qin Ming saw that dozens of flying Monsters had already fixed their eyes on him while he fought the first wave of Monsters. They could swoop down and kill him at any moment.
Explosions rang out, drawing even more flying Monsters over.
The sky was blotted out, turning dim.
With a Monster charge of this scale and flying Monsters circling overhead, even an Intermediate General Level Spiritual Force User would not dare confront them head-on.
The defense and speed of Intermediate Beast General Level Monsters were astonishing. Even a Spiritual Force User invincible within the same rank would find it far from easy to kill one instantly.
With the physical attributes of an Advanced Warrior, once any Beast General broke through the Flying Knife defense, it would be enough to inflict a fatal injury. Even taking to the sky would only lead to being surrounded by flying Monsters.
Under normal circumstances, the best approach would be to hide among the ruins of the buildings, relying on the terrain and the long-range attacks of a Spiritual Force User to wear the Monsters down bit by bit.
Or simply run. That would be the best choice.
Yet as Qin Ming watched the Monsters draw ever closer, his expression was filled with brutality.
"Myriad Souls Banner, let me see your true power!"
Qin Ming murmured inwardly. Within his Sea of Consciousness, secret patterns lit up across the tattered banner of the Myriad Souls Banner. Black smoke billowed as several hundred of the strongest Monster souls howled out.
Collecting souls and controlling them in battle was the Myriad Souls Banner's true use. Condensing Soul Crystals and Blood Essence was, strictly speaking, merely a derivative effect.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Monster souls that no one else could see roared wildly around Qin Ming, turning the area into something like a Netherworld ghost domain.
The soul of an Advanced Beast General Bone-Eating Python coiled around him, its massive body shielding him firmly within.
It was as though an invisible hand had opened the backpack on his back. Four Grade 9 Flying Knives and eighteen Grade 7 Flying Knives rose from within, while Beast General souls, under the Myriad Souls Banner's control, possessed them one after another.
A total of thirty-four Flying Knives spun madly around Qin Ming like a school of fish.
Rumble—
More than a thousand Monsters charging forward made the earth tremble, their momentum growing ever more terrifying as they drew closer.
"Kill!"
Qin Ming gripped his halberd in one hand, its tip angled toward the ground, and actually charged toward the Monster horde with a low roar.
In almost an instant, the distance between them had shrunk to less than a hundred meters.
Whoosh!
The Monster souls struck even faster than the Flying Knives.
Within a hundred-meter radius, it was like a Soul Domain. Monster souls shrieked as they charged into the beast horde.
The Intermediate Beast General Level Reckless Bull at the front of the charge had bloodshot eyes. Its pair of curved, sharp horns gleamed coldly. At its speed, it only needed one second to cross a hundred meters!
But the moment it lowered its head, a cold force drilled directly into its Sea of Consciousness and slammed into its soul.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It felt as though heavy hammers were repeatedly striking its skull. Confusion appeared in the Reckless Bull's eyes, and its entire body lost control as it toppled toward the ground.
The instant it fell and exposed its weak point, a Grade 9 Flying Knife shot through its eye socket, bringing out a spray of brain matter.
Hiss!
One step behind it, the nearly thirty-meter-long Purple Lightning Python radiated ferocity from its vertical pupils. It opened its jaws, about to unleash a bolt of lightning for a ranged attack.
The Purple Lightning Python's most unique feature was a special organ inside its body that allowed it to unleash an immensely powerful electrical attack like an electric eel. Even Monsters of the same rank would be severely injured if struck.
But the next moment, the soul of the Advanced Beast General Bone-Eating Python circling Qin Ming charged into its Sea of Consciousness. Its massive body instantly stiffened, and a Flying Knife pierced through its head.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The thirty-four Flying Knives became afterimages, weaving frantically through the beast horde and bringing up countless sprays of blood.
In an instant, more than a hundred Monster bodies were torn apart, blood bursting into the air.
The most miserable Monster was the Twin-Tailed Tiger Cat. As an agile Monster, it had not followed the beast tide in its charge. Instead, it used the cover of ruined buildings to lurk in the shadows, planning a surprise attack.
But Monster souls filled the hundred-meter radius around Qin Ming, providing three hundred and sixty degrees of surveillance without a single blind spot.
The moment it leaped into the air, Monster souls rushed into its Sea of Consciousness. Its body went stiff, and then Flying Knives directly tore it into pieces, turning it into a rain of blood.
Rumble—
The area within a hundred meters of Qin Ming had completely become a domain of death. The charging beast horde abruptly came to a halt and crashed to the ground.
Then, a chain reaction began.
The fallen Monster corpses became obstacles for the others. The once orderly, tightly packed Monsters descended into chaos. Even the Monsters were terrified by that horrifying, bloody sight.
"Die!"
With a low roar, Qin Ming shot into the air. The Breaking Army Halberd in his hand came down like the strike of a god, smashing apart the head of an Advanced Beast Soldier Level Monster.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Flying Knives danced wildly, directly beginning an unparalleled harvest through the beast horde.
Whether Beast Soldiers or Primary General Level Monsters, all were as fragile as tofu before those supersonic Flying Knives.
Blood splattered everywhere. The once frenzied Monsters let out miserable howls and terrified cries, and the beast horde actually collapsed under the brutal slaughter.
The Breaking Army Halberd swung wildly—thrusting, cleaving, sweeping. Its movements were broad and unrestrained, with no thought of defense whatsoever. Any Monster that came close to him either suddenly stiffened and was killed by the halberd, or was directly pierced through by a Flying Knife.
Amid this unrestrained slaughter, Qin Ming felt the brutality in his heart completely released.
The scene left Captain Lu Haochuan, Xiao Heng, and the others, who had been preparing to provide support from afar, staring dumbfoundedly, unsure whether they should rush in.
"Isn't this too outrageous? Are Spiritual Force Users really this strong?"
Yue Shan, usually rather quiet, stood with his mouth agape. Even the Shield Tower in his hand slipped unconsciously to the ground.
"Impossible! It's not like we've never seen Spiritual Force Users before. The one in the Dawn Special Forces is strong too, but he can't compare to this at all.
Thirty-four Flying Knives!
Anyone touched by them dies. Not a single one survives.
But it seems that controlling so many Flying Knives has made his accuracy much worse. Most of them are no longer pursuing precise kills, but are simply cutting with the utmost violence."
Ling Qianye, the Dual Blades Martial Warrior, shook his head with difficulty.
"Look. As long as those Monsters get within a certain distance of him, they suddenly stiffen. It should be that attack called Spiritual Spike.
When I sparred with him, I experienced it several times.
Even I would be dazed for a moment if I wasn't prepared.
But with more than a thousand Monsters charging at him, I saw at least a dozen suddenly stiffen. Has his spiritual force really become this terrifyingly powerful?"
Veins bulged across Zhang Yan's forehead.
"What kind of monster did they send to our squad?"
Lu Haochuan let out a long breath. He had originally only wanted Qin Ming to vent on the battlefield, then rescue him before he was injured.
While allowing Qin Ming to release the pressure in his heart, he also wanted him to understand the dangers of the battlefield. He needed to remain calm, because getting carried away by hot blood could easily lead to a devastating loss.
With their squad's strength, accomplishing that would not have been difficult.
But he had never imagined that Qin Ming would cut straight through a beast tide of more than a thousand Monsters by himself.
He immediately contacted War God Liu Xu, who was stationed at the base, and sent him the battlefield footage of Qin Ming's terrifying performance.
"General, I think you need to see this."
