Leaping Across Tiers to Kill!

The thunderous crash of the gate slamming shut behind them was instantly drowned out by a terrifying tide of sound that blotted out the sky and earth.

Lin Ming stepped into a scarlet hell.

The buffer zone before the barricade was now completely covered by densely packed Mutated Beasts of every shape and form!

Ironhide Rhinos, hulking like small mountains, exhaled sulfurous breath. Swift Shadow Cats darted through the corpses. mantis beasts with bone blades swung scythes of death, while swarms of Corrupted Rats and Thorn Snakes surged like a black tide.

Behind the beast tide, several especially massive shadows exuded suffocating pressure. The most conspicuous among them was a gigantic wolf, over four meters at the shoulder, its fur like burning bloody flames, a horn growing from its forehead, its scarlet eyes like twin blood moons!

Third Tier! The Blood Wolf King! The commander of this small beast tide!

"Awooo!!!"

The Blood Wolf King threw back its head and howled. The sound waves nearly solidified, whipping up a foul wind and bloody rain!

All the Mutated Beasts seemed to have been injected with berserk stimulants. The crimson light in their eyes blazed as they unleashed earthshaking roars, crashing toward the human defensive line in an even madder, more fearless final assault like a burst dam!

"Kill!!!"

"Fight them to the death!!"

Supported by the brutal momentum Lin Ming had stirred within them, the Blade Camp Death Squad members howled and charged forward, instantly colliding with the foremost beast horde!

Flesh and blood flew, severed limbs scattered, and roars and wails resounded across the battlefield! In just one exchange, several Blade Camp members were swallowed up and torn apart!

Lin Ming charged at the very front.

His gaze was as cold as ten-thousand-year ice, while the bloodstained spear in his hand seemed to come alive.

Facing the first wave of seven or eight mixed First Realm Mutated Beasts, Lin Ming slid sideways with the Ironstep Armor beneath his feet and unleashed the Heaven-Splitting Three Forms.

First form, Mountain Splitter!

The spear shaft trembled, letting out a low dragon's roar! A heavy, tyrannical intent that seemed capable of splitting mountains rose from Lin Ming's body!

The blood and vitality around him surged madly into his arms and poured into the spear shaft. In an instant, the spearhead was shrouded in a dark, solid gleam, as though its weight had suddenly increased a hundredfold!

"Break!"

With a low shout, the spear descended in a simple, direct smash, carrying the force to cleave mountains and split stone!

There were no flashy changes of technique—only the purest crushing force and intent!

Boom!!!

Before the spear even struck, its terrifying wind pressure sank the limbs of a First Realm Eighth Rank Ironhide Rhino directly in front of him! Then, the spear shaft smashed solidly into its head, which was covered in a thick layer of keratin!

Crack—!!!

A scalp-numbing explosion of shattering bone rang out! The Ironhide Rhino's skull, which could withstand ordinary rifle bullets, caved in and burst apart like a watermelon struck by a sledgehammer! Red, white, and black matter mixed together as it sprayed everywhere!

Its huge body crashed to the ground, twitched twice, and fell silent.

An instant kill! And such a brutally violent one at that!

[Killed First Realm Eighth Layer Ironhide Rhino. Kill Points gained: 80.]

Having struck once, Lin Ming did not pause. His spear momentum had yet to fade. With a flick of his wrist, the shaft sprang upward on the rebound, tracing a strange arc. Using the butt of the spear as its pivot, it lashed out like a venomous scorpion's tail and viciously stabbed into the chest of a Shadow Cat lunging at him from the side!

"Pfft!"

The spear pierced straight through its heart! The Shadow Cat's shrill wail came to an abrupt end.

[Killed First Realm Seventh Layer Shadow Cat. Gained 70 Kill Points.]

The spear turned again, becoming a blur of dark light—chopping, smashing, sweeping, thrusting! Every strike carried the heaviness and tyranny of the "Mountain Splitter" form.

Yet under Microscopic Control, every strike precisely struck the vital point of a Mutated Beast! Its efficiency had increased by far more than double compared to his previous reliance on Basic Spear Art alone!

In barely a dozen breaths, six or seven First Realm Mutated Beast corpses lay around Lin Ming, leaving a small patch of open ground.

Not far away, Su Yunwan was circling a Tier Two Bone-Blade Mantis. Her silver spear moved like a dragon, cold glints flickering from its tip as it blocked every bone-blade attack the mantis beast unleashed in a furious storm, even faintly gaining the upper hand.

Her A-rank talent, Spearheart Clarity, had brought her control over the spear to an astonishing realm. Her moves were exquisite, and her predictions precise.

But more than half of her attention had been drawn to Lin Ming's savage, efficient slaughter.

When she saw Lin Ming smash apart the Ironhide Rhino's skull with one strike and use that spear technique clearly imbued with unique intent and exertion methods, Su Yunwan's delicate body jolted. Her clear, beautiful eyes instantly filled with incredulous shock!

That was... the Heaven-Splitting Three Forms?! Mountain Splitter?!

Impossible!

She had possessed that secret manual for less than five minutes!

Even if he had read it on the spot, merely comprehending its obscure, incomplete force-channeling methods and profound intent should have taken ten days to half a month of study and experimentation before he could even find the doorway!

Let alone wielding it so skillfully, so tyrannically, with even the faint embryonic form of "momentum" already taking shape!

This was no longer something talent alone could explain! It was simply... unimaginable!

Could he have learned it before? No, the secret manual was one of a kind and had never been leaked.

And his reaction when reading it just now clearly showed it was his first time encountering it.

Just as Su Yunwan's mind was reeling and she nearly allowed the Bone-Blade Mantis to catch a flaw, the battle on Lin Ming's side escalated once more!

"Roar—!"

An enraged roar shook the ground slightly! A gigantic beast the size of a small truck, covered from head to toe in thick grayish-white armor like rock, its fangs like two curved guillotine blades, rammed aside several First Realm Mutated Beasts blocking its path. Its crimson eyes locked firmly onto Lin Ming!

Every step it took left a deep footprint in the ground. Its aura was ferocious and violent—it had clearly reached Tier Two!

Early Tier Two, a Rockshell Beast! A troublesome opponent renowned for its defense and strength!

"Lin, watch out! It's a Rockshell Beast!" Old Wang, who was tangled up with several First Realm beasts in the distance, caught sight of this scene. His eyes nearly split apart as he shouted hoarsely.

The hearts of the surrounding Death Squad members rose into their throats as well. A First Realm fighter against a Tier Two Rockshell Beast renowned for its defense—this was practically a dead end!

No matter how mad Madman Lin was, the gap in realms remained!

Lin Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not retreat. He took a deep breath, and the surging blood and vitality within his body began circulating madly along an even more violent, more peculiar route.

The spear in his hand gave a joyous hum. The dark gleam on its shaft suddenly drew inward, replaced by a flowing shimmer like rolling waves!

Heaven-Splitting Three Forms, second form, Wave Severing!

Its principle was that the spear's momentum moved like tides, unceasing and unbroken, breaking through the surface with a single point to divide rivers! It was specifically designed to counter targets with formidable defense and immense strength!

"Kill!"

Lin Ming moved! Rather than confronting it head-on, he drove the Ironstep Armor to its limit, his figure circling toward the Rockshell Beast's rear flank like a ghost!

The Rockshell Beast roared and turned. Its thick tail swept out like a steel whip, carrying a piercing howl of wind!

Now!

A sharp light burst from Lin Ming's eyes. Just before the steel whip reached him, his body dropped impossibly low, narrowly evading it. At the same time, the spear in his hand shot forth like a venomous dragon emerging from the sea, the flowing shimmer at its tip condensing to the utmost limit.

It became a chill glint as thin as a hair yet incomparably sharp, piercing with flawless precision toward a tiny gap where the Rockshell Beast's neck joined its thick stone armor—the comparatively weakest point in its defenses!

Wave Severing—Cleave Metal, Split Stone!

Pshht!!!

A faint but heart-chilling sound of penetration rang out!

That spear strike, gathering all the sharpness of the "Wave Severing" form, truly pierced through the Rockshell Beast's alloy-like defense and sank deeply into its neck!

"Explode!"

The violent blood-and-vitality force infused into the spearhead detonated within the Rockshell Beast's body! From the inside, it utterly destroyed its life force!

Leaping across tiers to kill a Tier Two Rockshell Beast!

[Killed Tier Two First Layer Rockshell Beast. Kill Points gained: 1000. Tier-leaping kill reward: 2000 Kill Points. Total gained: 3000 Kill Points.]

Three thousand points! A massive fortune!

But Lin Ming had no time to rejoice, because the Rockshell Beast's dying howl and the tremendous crash of its fall had drawn more—and stronger—eyes toward him!

At the rear of the beast tide, the Blood Wolf King, which had been coldly watching the battlefield all along, suddenly turned its scarlet eyes and locked them firmly onto Lin Ming!

A First Realm human insect had actually killed so many of its subordinates in succession, and had even slain a Tier Two Rockshell Beast across tiers?

Unforgivable!

"Awo!"

The Blood Wolf King let out a low growl brimming with killing intent. Its hind legs bent slightly. From the look of it, it was about to act personally and crush this irritating insect to death!

"Beast! Your opponent is me!"

A clear, sharp feminine cry rang out. Su Yunwan finally seized an opening in the Bone-Blade Mantis's defense. Her silver spear flashed like lightning, instantly piercing through its head. Without stopping, her body transformed into a streak of dark green light.

She leaped into the air, the silver-white spear in her hand erupting with dazzling brilliance. Like a falling meteor, it shot directly toward the Blood Wolf King's brow!

As the spear emerged, wind and thunder stirred! A-rank martial skill—Thunderclap Break!

The Blood Wolf King had clearly not expected such an expert among the humans. A hint of surprise flashed through its scarlet eyes, but even greater was the furious rage of being provoked!

It raised its enormous forepaw, bloody energy rippling around its claws, and viciously swatted at the silver meteor!

Boom!!!

Spear and claw collided, erupting with an ear-splitting blast! Terrifying shockwaves exploded outward from the point of impact, flinging low-tier Mutated Beasts and Death Squad members within dozens of meters into the air!

Su Yunwan drifted back more than ten meters before landing steadily. Her face had turned slightly pale, and the arm holding her spear trembled faintly, but her gaze remained sharp as a blade as she locked onto the Blood Wolf King.

At the Tier Two Sixth Layer, she was directly confronting an Early Third Tier commander. Though she had barely blocked it with an A-rank weapon, martial skill, and her Spearheart Clarity talent, she was clearly under tremendous strain.

A faint white mark had appeared on the Blood Wolf King's forepaw. It shook its paw, the killing intent in its scarlet eyes growing even stronger. With a low growl, it temporarily focused its attention entirely on Su Yunwan. This human woman was the greater threat!

However, the Blood Wolf King being held back did not mean the other Tier Two Mutated Beasts would spare Lin Ming.
