Chapter 260 Traversing the Beast Tide
Song Chen didn't slow down much.
He slowed down from 3,000 kilometers per hour to 1,000, then 800, then 600.
The Eye of Insight locked onto the first Ironbone Whale, which was 430 meters long and at the mid-stage of the fifth tier.
He swept past two hundred meters above the sea, gripped the hilt of the Tianjun Blade with his right hand, and then drew the blade.
The moment the Heavenly Blade was drawn, the sea surface was cleaved open by the blade's energy, creating a 300-meter-long chasm.
Golden-purple lightning exploded from the blade, spreading along the sea surface and vaporizing more than a dozen low-level sea beasts in its path.
[Second-tier beast defeated, gaining 47 kill points]
[A Tier 3 alien beast has been killed, gaining 186 kill points]
[Second-tier beast defeated, gaining 52 kill points]
……
The system notification sound played in a row.
Song Chen's target is that Iron-boned Whale.
The field of lightning spread across the sea surface, with a diameter of three hundred meters.
Golden-purple arcs wove into a spherical electric grid in mid-air, with arcs as thick as arms at the edges and so bright at the core that they were impossible to look at directly.
Song Chen dragged his lightning domain directly into the sea beast horde. The low-level beasts couldn't even scream, the second-level ones died instantly upon contact, the third-level ones convulsed and sank to the bottom of the sea, and the fourth-level ones were also instantly killed.
[Second-tier beast defeated, gaining 61 kill points]
[Second-tier beast defeated, gaining 38 kill points]
[A Tier 3 alien beast has been killed, gaining 205 kill points]
[A fourth-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 3402 kill points]
……
The iron-boned whale sensed the threat.
It turned its massive head, opened its mouth, and began to compress the water-based spiritual energy in its throat, preparing to unleash a water cannon.
This attack can penetrate the composite armor of a fortress, has a long range and great power, and is the signature move of the Ironbone Whale.
Song Chen glanced at its mouth, and his Eye of Truth marked the path where spiritual energy converged.
0.3 seconds before the water cannon was fired, he disappeared from directly in front of the iron-boned whale and reappeared seven meters behind its left eye.
The Heavenly Blade's energy pierced through the skull and reached the brain.
The iron-boned whale's body froze, and the water cannon, which was halfway charged, exploded in its mouth, blasting a hole in its upper jaw.
The massive 430-meter-tall body began to tilt and then collapsed.
[A Tier 5 alien beast has been killed, gaining 58650 kill points]
Song Chen didn't look at it again. In the blink of an eye, he appeared directly above the second Ironbone Whale and slashed downwards with the Heavenly Blade.
The first strike of the Seven Heavenly Thunder Slashes was a golden-purple blade aura that extended a hundred meters from the blade's edge, striking the weakest point of the Iron-Bone Whale's skull.
The blade cut precisely at the seam between the two bone plates, cutting along the seam, piercing through muscles, tendons, and blood vessels, and finally splitting the entire skull in half.
Another fatal blow.
[A Tier 5 alien beast has been killed, gaining 49500 kill points]
The third iron-boned whale turned and tried to run away.
Song Chen appeared beneath its belly the instant it turned around.
The Heavenly Blade slashes upwards, its blade energy pouring into the abdomen, shredding the heart before exiting through the back.
The iron-boned whale let out a deep, mournful cry as its massive body crashed into the sea, sending sprays of water hundreds of meters into the air.
[A Tier 5 alien beast has been killed, gaining 61223 kill points]
Three strikes, three heads, five ranks.
The entire battlefield fell silent at that moment.
Of course, it wasn't truly quiet; the explosions were still ringing out, and the waves were still crashing against the embankment, but everyone who witnessed this scene, whether warriors or monsters, briefly stopped moving.
Liu Li stood in front of the observation window of the fortress, the data tablet in her hand falling to the ground.
She conducted research at Tianhai University for many years, watched countless battle videos, and analyzed the combat methods of sixth-level masters.
She thought she knew what the combat power of a top martial artist was, but now she realized she didn't.
The young man in the silver armor killed three Tier 5 Ironbone Whales with three strikes.
Every strike was a fatal wound. There were no superfluous movements, not a single ounce of spiritual energy wasted, and it wasn't even a technique; it was simply a strike, a sheathing of the blade, and then the target died.
"My God, is that Song Chen? He's become a grandmaster?"
Liu Li's mouth dropped open.
On the sea, Song Chen did not stop.
The lightning field expanded again, this time covering a diameter of 500 meters.
He advanced along the sea surface, like a red-hot knife cutting into butter, and low-level sea creatures fell in droves.
A fifth-tier sword-kiss shark attempted to ambush from the side, but Song Chen didn't even turn his head. He swung his sword backhand, the blade energy slicing through the shark's open snout and cutting along the midline of its upper jaw all the way to its brainstem.
[A Tier 5 alien beast has been killed, gaining 35560 kill points]
As yet another beast king was instantly killed, the remaining dozens of fifth-tier beast kings on the sea were retreating frantically, their mental energy transmitting the same signal to each other: run.
Song Chen stood in mid-air, blood still dripping from the Heavenly Blade, his Northern Darkness Armor stained with the bodily fluids and bits of flesh from the sea beast.
He surveyed the battlefield, his Eye of Insight scanning the spiritual energy fluctuations of every beast.
"Everyone, since you're already here..."
"Don't leave."
His voice, amplified by psychic energy, resounded throughout the entire battlefield.
The human warriors heard it, and so did the strange beasts of the sea.
The lightning field instantly expanded to a diameter of eight hundred meters.
Golden-purple arcs of electricity leaped across the sea surface, dyeing the entire area a purplish-gold color.
Song Chen swooped down from the sky, his soaring movement turning his trajectory into a continuous arc, leaving only the corpses of strange beasts in his wake.
A sea thorn beast attempts to dive into the deep sea to escape.
Song Chen followed him inside.
The water closed behind him, as if nothing had happened.
Three seconds later, the sea exploded, and the 400-meter-long body of the seathorn was thrown into the air, belly up, already dead.
The incision extended from the jaw to the tailbone, severing the abdomen in one stroke.
Song Chen emerged from the water column and shook the blood off his knife.
I glanced at the kill count again.
Total kill value: 1280 million.
"good."
He was satisfied with the speed at which he gained kill points, and then he charged back into the sea monster horde.
Inside the fortress, Liu Li looked at Song Chen's figure: "Principal... is that Song Chen? How... how could he have improved so quickly?"
Zhou Wangyue did not answer, because he did not know the answer either.
He simply watched quietly as the purple-gold lightning on the sea surface carved bloody paths through the horde of strange beasts.
Forty-seven years ago, when he first held a sword, he imagined what the strongest human warrior should look like.
Later, he witnessed Li Qingcang's actions, Qi Shanhe's battles, and the rise and fall of countless geniuses.
The scene before him was beyond his imagination.
On the sea, Song Chen had just killed a fifth-tier Abyss Python that was trying to launch a sneak attack.
He looked up and glanced in the direction of Tianhai East Fortress.
Even from more than ten kilometers away, the Eye of Truth detected the familiar psionic fluctuations of the teacher.
Song Chen raised his hand and waved towards the fortress as a greeting.
Then he turned around, and the lightning domain expanded once more, crushing the scattered sea beast horde.
The kill count is skyrocketing.
1400, 1500, 1600 million...
The goal of 100 million is getting closer and closer.
