Just as the chandelier hit the floor, taking the heavily injured mercenary with it.
Several more screams erupted in the hall.
Zombie Cat and Lin Zhiluo split into two paths.
One from the left, one from the right, they charged toward the mercenaries.
Lin Zhiluo's Tang Dao slashed through, and Zombie Cat's Sharp Claw swiped.
In an instant, they claimed the lives of two more mercenaries.
At this moment, Rong Zhan finally caught a glimpse of the true appearance of Death God.
He was wrapped in black clothing, his face covered by a mask that looked profound yet strangely ordinary.
Though the eyes beneath the mask were bright, they revealed no emotion whatsoever.
As he harvested the lives of the mercenaries, he seemed as relaxed as if he were out for a stroll.
Rong Zhan attempted to inspect the attributes of Death God.
[Basic Information]
Nickname: ???
Title: ???
Level: ???
???
Why couldn't he inspect this person's information?
Rong Zhan was stunned; this was the first time he had ever encountered such a situation.
Little did he know, Lin Zhiluo had long since activated the concealment effect of his Hidden Mask.
In just this short time.
The subordinates beside Rong Zhan fell one after another, like wheat being harvested.
The mercenaries killed by Lin Zhiluo couldn't even let out a scream.
The mercenaries attacked by Zombie Cat, however, screamed incessantly.
This was because Zombie Cat only inherited 60% of Lin Zhiluo's base attributes.
In terms of stats, it was only slightly higher than the mercenaries.
It could not achieve absolute suppression.
Therefore, it could only rely on the Sharp Claw talent to leave deep gashes across the mercenaries' necks, causing them to bleed to death.
This process was extremely painful, as the wounds inflicted by Zombie Cat would not stop bleeding no matter how they tried to cover them.
They could only watch helplessly as their blood flowed out, eventually leading to their deaths.
"Enough! Who exactly are you?" Rong Zhan was on the verge of going insane.
His subordinates were dying one after another, he was being toyed with, and he still hadn't figured out who the opponent was.
Rong Zhan desperately chased after the direction Lin Zhiluo was moving.
But Lin Zhiluo couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind right now.
After his earlier observations, Lin Zhiluo no longer held the expectations he once had for Rong Zhan.
Poor combat skills, low attributes, and a personality that hadn't yet reached the composure he would have years later.
It was less profitable than just killing these mercenaries first.
Lin Zhiluo didn't even stop to consider what level he was at now.
Two world announcements, six attribute points, three levels higher, and decked out in "divine gear."
No matter how strong Rong Zhan would become in the late apocalypse, he couldn't possibly compare to Lin Zhiluo right now.
Rong Zhan fell into despair; he simply couldn't keep up with Lin Zhiluo's speed.
He could only watch helplessly as Lin Zhiluo struck again and again, while he was left eating dust in the back.
Even when he wanted to warn his subordinates about Lin Zhiluo's position.
Before he could even get the words out, his subordinates would already have their throats slit.
Finally, through the efforts of Lin Zhiluo and Zombie Cat.
All the mercenaries in the hall met their end.
The few who still had breath were struggling painfully on the ground, on the verge of death.
Rong Zhan was completely hopeless, and he knelt on the ground, utterly dejected.
This sense of powerlessness, being unable to stop Lin Zhiluo, stripped him of all his thoughts.
He knew that with his strength, he could never stop Lin Zhiluo's bloody slaughter.
Lin Zhiluo first withdrew his consciousness from Zombie Cat.
Then he issued an order to the Zombie Cat.
"Go and pursue Li Haobo and the others."
Judging by the situation, Li Haobo and his group had not chosen to flee the Li Family Manor.
Because the Revenge Barrier had not been activated.
After receiving Lin Zhiluo's command, the Zombie Cat darted out rapidly.
Although it had turned into a zombie, it still possessed the abilities of a cat.
Tracking them down based on the trail they left while retreating was a piece of cake.
Lin Zhiluo walked over to Rong Zhan, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Move a little, Captain of the Hunting Mercenary Group," Lin Zhiluo said.
Rong Zhan raised his head and looked at Lin Zhiluo before him.
Suddenly, he began to laugh like a madman, his voice raspy and hoarse.
"Hahahaha, the Hunting Mercenary Group has been almost completely wiped out. Am I even worthy of being called the captain of the Hunting Mercenary Group anymore?"
Lin Zhiluo felt great.
Even though he hadn't fought Rong Zhan this time.
Seeing Rong Zhan in this state made Lin Zhiluo feel even better!
Lin Zhiluo had slaughtered all of his subordinates right in front of him, destroying his life's work in an instant.
This had caused him to lose all desire to resist, leaving him like a man who had lost his soul.
This was the highest realm of revenge!
Physical torture was far less painful than mental torment!
Lin Zhiluo believed that even if he didn't kill Rong Zhan, Rong Zhan would never be able to recover for the rest of his life.
That being said, he still had to kill him.
Since killing Rong Zhan would make him feel even better, why not do it?
Rong Zhan looked at Lin Zhiluo in front of him, a glimmer of longing appearing on his desperate face.
He hurriedly asked, "Who are you? Who exactly are you! Tell me, otherwise I won't be able to die in peace!"
Lin Zhiluo's eyes lit up. Not able to die in peace!
There was such a good thing?
The Tang Dao swept across, and the head fell to the ground.
Rong Zhan's head rolled a few times on the floor.
The eyes on the head were wide open.
He seemed shocked that Lin Zhiluo had chosen to strike without saying a single word.
And because he died without knowing Lin Zhiluo's identity, he had truly achieved the state of not being able to die in peace.
Lin Zhiluo walked up to Rong Zhan's head.
He kicked it with his foot, turning Rong Zhan's face toward him, and then spoke.
"I still remember your face from that day."
"You stepped on me and said that an ant like me wasn't worth your effort."
"You said I was just an orphan! A piece of trash! How did I have the face? How did I have the guts? To challenge the authority of the Li Family."
"You said I was just a maggot living in the sewer!"
"You said that killing me would only dirty your hands!"
"Actually, I'm quite grateful for your arrogance back then."
"It gave me the perfect opportunity to escape, and I even managed to cut off two of your fingers in the process."
"I'm also grateful that your behavior taught me a lesson."
"And that is, don't talk so much before killing someone; if you can take action, don't waste your breath."
"Look, I cut your head off and then chatted with you; isn't it just as satisfying?"
By the end, Lin Zhiluo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
No, he couldn't get too carried away.
Li Haobo was still waiting for him.
Lin Zhiluo raised his foot and stomped down fiercely.
Rong Zhan's head exploded instantly like a watermelon.
Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere.
Staining Lin Zhiluo's shoes in a mix of red and white.
The dignified Hunting War God—Rong Zhan!
One of the three great guardian deities of the Li Family!
One of the ten great War Gods of the Dragon Kingdom!
An existence revered by thousands after the apocalypse!
Had fallen just like that!
Lin Zhiluo let out a deep breath.
The invisible shackles on his body had lightened significantly once more.
He stripped all three pieces of bronze-tier equipment from Rong Zhan's body.
Lin Zhiluo was just about to check their attributes.
"Meow."
The thoughts of the Zombie Cat echoed in Lin Zhiluo's mind.
This was the Zombie Cat informing Lin Zhiluo that it had already located Li Haobo and the others.
Lin Zhiluo did not delay any further.
He sensed the location of the Zombie Cat.
He cautiously checked the corpses he had just killed once again.
Only after ensuring that everyone was truly dead did he set off in pursuit with peace of mind.
If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author; perhaps it just changed its name!
