Telekinesis Emerges, Fierce Beast Slain!

These few short words, though not loud, were carried by spiritual telekinesis and exploded in the empty valley like a muffled thunderclap.

The Black Scale Beast, coiled at the entrance of the cave, possessed a body as massive as a small hill, its entire frame covered in black scale armor that shimmered with a metallic luster.

As a high-level lord infinitely close to the "King" rank, its intelligence was already no less than that of a human.

It understood the provocation from the tiny human before it, and even more so, it felt the killing intent that made its heart tremble.

"ROAR--!!!"

A furious roar shook the mountain range, the rolling sound waves causing even the surrounding rubble to tremble.

As the overlord of this Black Rock Mountain Range, when had it ever suffered such humiliation?

It suddenly opened its blood-red maw, and a nauseating, ink-green light surged from the depths of its throat...

The next instant, a column of high-pressure acid capable of corroding alloys sprayed out like a high-pressure water cannon, reeking of a pungent, fishy stench as it lunged straight for Lin Yuan's face!

The speed was so great that it left trails of white, corrosive smoke in the air.

"Hmph."

Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged; he exerted force through his feet, his figure instantly turning into a blurred afterimage as he shifted ten meters to the right.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

The acid landed on the rock where he had been standing, causing the hard granite to smoke instantly and corroding a bottomless pit in the blink of an eye.

Rumble!

As if to accompany this impending life-or-death struggle, a blinding flash of lightning suddenly tore through the already gloomy sky, followed immediately by a thunderous boom.

Gale winds howled, and rain the size of beans poured down, instantly shrouding the entire world in a curtain of water.

The cold rain struck Lin Yuan's Black God Suit, sliding down the streamlined armor.

In his eyes, a cold, sharp light flickered, seemingly more piercing than the lightning itself.

Neither side held back anymore!

The next second, Lin Yuan straightened his posture, and the vast, sea-like spiritual telekinesis within his sea of consciousness erupted without reservation!

Hum! Hum! Hum!

The silver discs hovering at his sides instantly disassembled, transforming into nine crescent-shaped blades shimmering with brilliant light.

"Go!"

With a thought from Lin Yuan, the nine blades tore through the curtain of rain, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound as they shot toward the Black Scale Beast like shooting stars chasing the moon.

With the addition of spiritual telekinesis at the peak of a high-level War God, how terrifying was the power of a Tier 3 telekinetic weapon—the Arc Wheel?

Clang! Clang! Clang! Ding!

A dense series of impacts exploded against the Black Scale Beast, sending sparks flying everywhere.

Although its prideful scale armor had astonishing defensive capabilities, under the frantic cutting of the Arc Wheels, it was still sliced open, black blood mixing with the rain as it flowed down.

"Roar!" The Black Scale Beast felt the pain and angrily swiped its claws, trying to swat away these annoying "flies," but the Arc Wheels were incredibly agile under Lin Yuan's control, giving it no chance at all.

No sooner said than done!

The moment the Black Scale Beast was pinned down by the telekinetic weapons, Lin Yuan moved.

He was like a phantom in the rainy night, stepping through the void, holding a S-grade Blood Shadow Battle Blade, his entire being merging with the curtain of rain.

Close quarters!

"Slash!"

With a low shout from Lin Yuan, the battle blade in his hand transformed into a shrill black lightning bolt, slashing toward the giant eye of the Black Scale Beast!

The speed of this strike far exceeded the speed of sound!

The air was torn apart, emitting a sharp, explosive boom.

Puchi!

The blade sank into flesh, and blood splattered.

"Awoo—"

The Black Scale Beast let out a shrill, miserable scream; the intense pain drove it completely mad.

It violently twisted its massive body, the muscles in its abdomen contracting, and then, like an out-of-control high-speed train, it slammed into Lin Yuan with immense force!

For such a massive body, the speed it erupted with was staggering.

With a loud "Bang!"

Lin Yuan only had time to hold his battle blade horizontally across his chest before an irresistible, overwhelming force traveled through the blade.

He was sent flying backward like a cannonball, his feet plowing two deep trenches into the wet, rocky ground, sliding for a full several dozen meters before he finally came to a stop.

"What immense strength; it truly deserves to be a beast nearing the King rank."

Lin Yuan shook his slightly numb arm, yet a curve of excitement tugged at the corner of his mouth.

He did not pause for even a second, his mind split to handle two tasks at once.

While stabilizing his posture, he simultaneously controlled the Arc Wheel in the air to launch even more ferocious attacks.

He specifically targeted the Black Scale Beast's eyes, joints, and other vulnerable spots, forcing the behemoth to scramble to defend itself and driving it into a state of extreme, irritable rage.

Rumble—

The ground shook repeatedly. The Black Scale Beast was thoroughly provoked; ignoring the minor wounds on its body, it galloped forward on all fours, charging once again.

As it neared Lin Yuan, it raised its massive black claw—capable of crushing a tank—high into the air and brought it crashing down with a suffocating sense of pressure!

If this strike landed squarely, even with the Black God Suit, his internal organs would likely be shattered by the impact.

No War God would dare to meet this claw head-on!

Yet, instead of retreating, Lin Yuan advanced.

Watching the giant claw rapidly enlarge in his pupils, he furrowed his brows, a cold, sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"Want to go head-to-head? I'll grant your wish!"

Within his sea of consciousness, spiritual force surged wildly, sketching out an arcane, mysterious pattern.

"Nine Turns of Arc Light—First Form!"

"Heaven Wheel Guard!"

Hum!!!

The nine crescent blades, which had been scattered around to harass the beast, seemed drawn by a magnet, instantly returning to Lin Yuan's front at an astonishing speed.

Click, click, click!

The nine blades connected head-to-tail, instantly forming a perfect circular light wheel with a diameter of two meters.

Driven by his spiritual force, the light wheel began to spin at a frantic, high speed. Its edges became blurred, forming a silver defensive ring capable of cutting and pulverizing anything it touched!

The next second, the Black Scale Beast's giant claw crashed down, slamming violently into the high-speed spinning light wheel.

Szzzzzzzz—!!!

A teeth-grinding sound of cutting echoed through the valley, as if countless chainsaws were cutting into steel simultaneously.

The Black Scale Beast's ferocious expression froze instantly, then shifted into extreme terror.

It felt as if it hadn't struck a human, but had instead shoved its hand into a meat grinder running at full power!

Splatter!

Flesh flew and bone fragments scattered.

After holding out for less than half a second, its incredibly tough claws and finger bones were ground into dust by the Heaven Wheel Guard!

"Awoooo!!!"

With nerves connected to its heart, the intense pain forced the Black Scale Beast to let out a heart-wrenching howl, its massive body involuntarily arching backward.

"Now!"

A brilliant light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes as he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opening.

His right leg, covered by the Black God Suit, exerted explosive force. He launched himself into the air and delivered a heavy, powerful whip kick, slamming it squarely into the Black Scale Beast's chin!

Bang!

The terrifying force erupted instantly, snapping the beast's massive head high into the air and exposing the vital throat area protected by layers of scales.

Mid-air, Lin Yuan used the momentum to rotate, his S-grade battle blade transforming into a cold glint as it stabbed with pinpoint precision toward a gap between the scales on its throat.

"Die!"

However—

Clang! Cling!

A crisp metallic sound rang out, and sparks flew.

The tip of the blade struck the scales and actually slid off!

Lin Yuan's face darkened, and he cursed inwardly.

"Damn it, this beast's scales have evolved to this extent? It even has double-layered soft armor covering its throat?"

Although the S-grade battle blade was sharp, its penetrating power was ultimately a notch too low when facing such a mutated high-level lord.

At this moment, the Black Scale Beast had recovered from the sharp pain, its scarlet eyes filled with insane, venomous hatred.

It opened its blood-stained maw, preparing to launch a desperate, final counterattack against the Lin Yuan who was within arm's reach.

In another second, its terrifying bite force would be enough to tear Lin Yuan to shreds.

Yet, facing this imminent crisis, Lin Yuan did not panic; instead, a cold arc curled at the corner of his mouth.

"The blade can't pierce it? Then I'll switch to something even more brutal!"

With a thought, the Heaven Wheel Guard, which had been in a defensive formation, instantly disassembled.

The nine crescent blades reorganized at high speed in the air, instantly converging to form a sharp, conical drill!

"Drill!"

Hum!

The secret runes upon the drill flickered frantically, and under the full impetus of spiritual telekinesis, its rotation speed reached the absolute limit, causing the surrounding air to churn and distort.

The next second, this silver drill of death, carrying an unstoppable momentum, slammed fiercely into the throat of the Black Scale Beast!

Szzzz--Pfft!

This time, there was no bouncing off, no sliding away.

The high-speed rotating drill, like a hot knife through butter, instantly tore through that layer of tough scales, sinking in bit by bit, shredding muscle and pulverizing the throat bone!

The malice in the eyes of the Black Scale Beast instantly turned to despair; it wanted to struggle, only to find that its strength was rapidly draining away along with the penetration of that drill.

Finally--

With a dull thud!

The silver drill, trailing a mist of blood, pierced through the back of the Black Scale Beast's neck and slammed into the rock wall behind it, embedding itself three inches deep!

The mountain-like corpse collapsed with a roar, kicking up a sky full of mud and water.

Its life force came to an abrupt end.
