Free Web NovelChapter 313: Chapter 163: Mechanism: Unstoppable
Their god had been publicly humiliated, their king assassinated during a sacred ritual, and their most holy altar destroyed in a single strike.
Bone-deep hatred and a frenzied lust for battle instantly devoured their sanity.
The dozens of members of the Eight-armed Race at the very front, closest to where Lin Ye had landed, roared and charged.
No one could understand what they were roaring, but Lin Ye knew it certainly wasn’t a friendly greeting.
’They’re probably spewing some nasty curses.’
In his peripheral vision, Lin Ye glanced up at the sheared-off chin of the idol above.
Vast quantities of Source Crystals and foul-smelling ichor poured out, cascading like a waterfall into the river of lava below and kicking up clouds of acrid white smoke.
But he didn’t see any sign of the three students.
’I... should have saved them, right?’
The thought flashed through his mind in an instant.
The next moment, a deluge of arrows tore through the air, sealing off all his escape routes.
The five or six six-armed elites closest to him leaped high into the air, their battleaxes and scimitars carving deadly arcs as they aimed for Lin Ye’s vital points.
However, whether it was the high-speed arrows or the heavy, powerful blades, they all seemed to collide with an invisible barrier a few inches from Lin Ye’s body. They were instantly pulverized or snapped in two.
VMMMM!
A layer of golden Gang Sha materialized on the surface of his body. It looked like flowing molten gold, surging with scorching waves of flame that pulverized any attack that came near him.
This was the first time Lin Ye had used the classic defensive method of a Gang Condensation Realm Martial Artist.
The Gangsha Armor, which coated the surface of his body.
He could clearly feel that the Defense Power of this integrated offensive and defensive application of Gang Sha was in no way inferior to the Purple Crystal Armor formed by [Crystalization], yet its energy consumption was lower by more than an order of magnitude.
[Crystalization] consumed Spiritual Power, so Lin Ye couldn’t maintain it for long periods.
But the Gang Sha within him was like a torrential, inexhaustible river, enough to sustain him through several days of the most intense combat without running dry.
Having confirmed his current Defense Power, Lin Ye no longer had any reservations.
He switched his two-handed grip on the Star-Piercing Spear back to one hand.
[Horizontal Slash] activated.
Lin Ye’s eyes turned cold. Faced with the tide of the Eight-armed Race swarming toward him, the muscles in his arm bulged as he unleashed a sudden, powerful sweep!
BOOM—!!!
A crescent-shaped wave of golden energy erupted from the spear!
This was no illusory projection of light, but a devastating blade of wind forged from ultra-compressed Gang Sha combined with the [Horizontal Slash] skill!
The golden wave of death surged forward with unstoppable force.
The savage, fanatical expressions on the faces of the dozens of members of the Eight-armed Race in its path froze instantly.
They didn’t even have time to react. The moment they came into contact with the golden tide, they were sliced in two at the waist.
Their upper torsos were still in mid-air while their lower bodies were utterly shredded by the secondary impacts of the slash.
Wherever the golden wave passed, nothing was left standing.
In an instant, a massive vacant area with a radius of over ten meters was cleared in front of Lin Ye, leaving behind only scorched black marks on the ground and the lingering stench of blood.
From the shadows in the distance, Nie Cang and the five instructors behind him finally got a clear view of the scene at the center of the altar.
The river of lava churned, and the ruins crumbled.
At the center of this scene of destruction.
A figure was bathed in flowing, golden flames, a long black spear held in his right hand.
He stood on a platform of purple crystal, as if riding a skiff, slowly walking from the heart of the lava lake toward the shore.
With every step he took, the purple crystal under his feet extended a little further. Behind him was a boiling sea of fire; before him, hundreds upon thousands of fearless alien berserkers.
The scene was like that of a demon god emerging from the depths of hell.
"That is..."
A female instructor beside Nie Cang subconsciously covered her mouth, her eyes filled with utter shock.
The others looked at one another, their Adam’s apples bobbing, utterly speechless.
As for Nie Cang, as he watched that figure, a look of genuine disbelief appeared in his eyes for the first time.
’It really is him!’
’Lin Ye!’
’He’s already achieved his breakthrough?’
Nie Cang stared fixedly at the layer of Gang Sha on Lin Ye’s body, which resembled waves of golden flame.
’What element is this Gang Sha?’
’Fire, or Metal?’
’No, it’s neither. It’s a purer, more domineering form of energy than anything I’ve ever seen.’
"Mr. Nie... should we... go and support him?"
An instructor’s voice broke the silence.
Nie Cang’s gaze lingered for a moment on the black figure weaving through the horde at supersonic speeds, felling ten enemies with a single step, before he finally shook his head. freewebnσvel.cøm
"Let’s go."
His voice was a bit hoarse.
"He doesn’t need our help."
Nie Cang planned to have a serious talk with Yin Liulan when he got back.
The other five instructors glanced at each other again, the unconcealed shock plain in their eyes.
First, there was that stunning spear thrust, like a falling star, that had instantly killed the Chieftain.
Now, he was like an unstoppable one-man army, reaping the lives of the powerful aliens at an incredible speed.
One man, one spear, single-handedly fighting an Alien Tribe that all six of them together had deemed dangerous.
How utterly terrifying!
...
The moment after Lin Ye was swarmed by countless members of the Eight-armed Race...
A system notification chimed in his mind.
[Ding! You have successfully killed Chieftain Kargath of the Blood Slaughter Tribe without attracting the attention of more than 10 members of the Eight-armed Race!]
[You have completed the Challenge Mission: Assassinate the King!]
[You have gained 150,000 EXP and 5 Skill Points!]
[You have obtained a new mechanic: Unstoppable (Blue)!]
Lin Ye watched the tide of the Eight-armed Race swarm toward him, a flicker of satisfaction in his heart.
