The Zombie Cat charged again.
This time, it was even faster than before!
Lin Zhiluo kept his eyes fixed on the Zombie Cat's every move, analyzing its actions.
The Zombie Cat had gotten smarter. It knew Lin Zhiluo could see through its pounce perfectly.
So it chose to fight him at close range instead.
As the cat's paw swiped toward him, Lin Zhiluo swung his Tang Dao.
"Clang!"
A piercing sound rang out as he successfully blocked the paw with his Tang Dao.
The Zombie Cat swiped again.
Lin Zhiluo turned his Tang Dao and blocked it once more.
The Zombie Cat attacked with all its might.
Every swipe came whistling toward Lin Zhiluo's vital points.
But his feet stayed planted. With nothing but the twists of his body and the Tang Dao in his hand, he formed an impenetrable "defensive wall."
He blocked every one of the Zombie Cat's attacks.
Aside from a strand of hair being blown away by the force of its claws, Lin Zhiluo wasn't hurt at all.
The Zombie Cat, however, was another matter. It had been attacking nonstop.
Its constitution was already low, and it was gradually running out of strength. Its movements began to slow.
On top of that, the loss of the claws on its right paw meant it could only attack mostly with its left.
The cat's claws and the Tang Dao clashed repeatedly, leaving plenty of notches in the blade.
But the Zombie Cat's claws were wearing down even faster.
Even so, it refused to give up and kept attacking Lin Zhiluo.
Suddenly, the Zombie Cat let out a strange cry.
A glint of purple flickered in its blood-red eyes.
This was... Cat Eye Gaze!
It could use this skill on anyone in front of it, even if they weren't looking into its eyes.
Lin Zhiluo felt his body grow sluggish, and his vision suddenly darkened.
He'd been pulled into an illusion!
In the endless darkness, a gigantic, hideous cat's face appeared before Lin Zhiluo.
The monstrous face was covered in strange markings. Blood, brains, organs, and severed limbs poured from its enormous eyes.
At the same time, the cat's face drew closer and closer, bearing down on Lin Zhiluo.
"That's it?" Lin Zhiluo scoffed.
In an instant—
He unleashed his killing intent!
A sea of killing intent burst from Lin Zhiluo.
It stained the entire dark void blood-red.
Tens of thousands of Wraiths rushed into view, filling the whole void.
They howled, screamed, and wept...
Their hideous faces were impossible to forget!
"In the ten years of the apocalypse, I slaughtered a hundred thousand zombies in a single Zombie Horde Dungeon. You think you can scare me? You're not even close!"
As soon as Lin Zhiluo finished speaking,
his blood-red killing intent and countless Wraiths surged toward the cat's face.
The terrifying visage, which should have cowed its enemies, actually looked afraid.
"Meow!!!!!"
The cat's face let out a piercing shriek and turned to flee.
The illusion shattered like a soap bubble.
Lin Zhiluo came to his senses.
The Zombie Cat let out a wail and stumbled several steps backward.
It stared at Lin Zhiluo in terror. The fear of those Wraiths surging toward it had completely broken its nerve!
It couldn't understand why the man in front of it could unleash such terrifying killing intent.
Lin Zhiluo's presence had been carved into its mind, becoming its eternal nightmare!
It had only one thought now: run!
The Zombie Cat gritted its teeth against the mental backlash from the shattered illusion, then bolted on all fours toward the end of the Corridor.
But the backlash was too severe. Even as it ran, its movements were uncoordinated.
Lin Zhiluo had been waiting all this time for this very moment.
"Whirlwind Slash!"
Lin Zhiluo hurled the Tang Dao in his hand.
Spinning at high speed, the sharp blade became like a meat grinder as it rapidly chased the Zombie Cat.
The Zombie Cat's keen ears caught the whistling wind behind it.
Despair filled its eyes.
Why? It could toy with humans at will and slaughter zombies with ease, yet it had ended up dying here!
The Tang Dao flashed past.
The Zombie Cat's head, as big as Baozi's, rolled to the ground.
Its headless body hurtled forward several meters on sheer momentum before collapsing.
Blood splashed across the walls, staining the last few clean patches a deep red.
"Dead!"
Lin Zhiluo reached out and caught the returning Tang Dao.

In an instant, messages flooded the screen.
When Lin Zhiluo had killed a Bronze-grade BOSS by himself despite being underleveled, the rewards had been explosive.
The generous experience had directly raised Lin Zhiluo by one level, and filled half the experience bar from level seven to level eight.
On top of that, being the first to kill a Bronze-grade BOSS had earned him an incredibly valuable global announcement!
This time, Lin Zhiluo clearly saw the global announcement go out!
Through the glass of the nearby office, he could see the sky, which had been bright moments ago, suddenly grow dim.
It wasn't just Modu, where he was. At that very moment, the sky darkened in every corner of Blue Star.
The sudden darkness caught the attention of players around the world.
No matter where they were, what they were doing, or who they were, everyone heard that familiar voice.
That grand, somber voice rang out across the world for the second time.
"World Announcement: Congratulations to player 'Yazi' for becoming the first person in Apocalypse Game to kill a Bronze-grade BOSS single-handedly. His extraordinary strength has shaken the world, earning him the globally unique achievement Scourge of Bronze and a wealth of rewards. We encourage all other players to learn from him."
At that moment, Blue Star, which had lost much of its vitality with the arrival of the apocalypse, erupted into a frenzy once more.
The name "Yazi" was spoken by everyone once again.
