Chapter 563: Chapter 523: Killing Spree

When a Martial Artist broke through to a new Great Realm, they could essentially one-shot Calamity Beasts of a Low Realm.

After killing a dozen or so Level 7 Calamity Beasts and easily earning tens of thousands of Merit Points, he found Lin Qi.

He saw Lin Qi cooperating with Dean Liu, fighting four Level 7 Calamity Beasts, with Pei Yiqing having joined them midway.

The three of them fought against the four Level 7 Calamity Beasts. Lin Qi, as the strongest of the trio, took the lead, unleashing his Golden Spear Gang.

A diving Sky Splitting Eagle was pierced through the neck. Feathers and blood sprayed as it plummeted from the sky.

The King of Mountains and Rivers watched and couldn’t help but nod to himself. ’Lin Qi’s strength is truly impressive.’

Ordinary Seventh Realm Martial Artists who had undergone Three Blood Exchanges were no match for him at all.

It wouldn’t matter even if he encountered an Eighth-level Martial Artist; he could even escape from a Ninth-level Martial Artist.

The King of Mountains and Rivers was constantly worried about the Insect Race, but he knew they wouldn’t dare try to assassinate Lin Qi unless a Tenth-Level Calamity Beast made a move.

So as long as things continued like this, Lin Qi would be very safe.

...

As time passed, the Ninth Realm Martial Artists charged at the forefront, continuously fighting High-Level Calamity Beasts.

Ordinary Martial Artists killed the mid- and Low-Level Calamity Beasts. Fighter jets and transport vehicles even started up, preparing to move the corpses of the Ninth-Level Calamity Beasts.

「One hour later.」

The Space Gate began to close, shrinking continuously. Finally, like a television being turned off, the light converged and vanished without a trace.

No new Calamity Beasts charged out!

Seeing this, the Ninth Realm Martial Artists began to return one after another, leaving the battlefield to the others and protecting the transport planes carrying the Ninth-Level Calamity Beasts back to the base.

The battle raged on, and the number of remaining Calamity Beasts dwindled.

「Three hours later.」

Martial Artists were returning to the rest hall, where medical staff were treating the wounded.

「Five hours later.」

Some Martial Artists had finished recovering and stepped onto the battlefield once more to continue the hunt.

The Split Rock Squad was one such case.

"BANG!!"

Liang Tai swung his Big Gun, thrusting continuously and piercing several bloody holes in a Golden Giant Wolf.

As the Golden Giant Wolf collapsed, he collected the Merit Points and gasped for air. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, mixing with the dirt and dust.

He couldn’t help but lament that without Lin Qi, their lives had gone back to how they were before.

The difficulty of earning Merit Points had skyrocketed, and the four members of his squad were finding it hard to adjust.

"Perhaps our squad should recruit some new members!"

...

Meanwhile, at the front lines of the battlefield, Lin Qi had gone on a complete rampage.

Ever since teaming up with Dean Liu, the two of them had begun a frenzied slaughter.

They were hunting for Level 7 Calamity Beasts, but they didn’t even have to search. With the Space Gate open, High-Level Calamity Beasts were everywhere.

There was no shortage of Level 7 Calamity Beasts.

Soon, they were surrounded by Level 7 Calamity Beasts. Lin Qi charged at the very front, while Dean Liu was responsible for controlling his Flying Knives to provide ranged support.

They hunted and killed several Level 7 Calamity Beasts, and even Pei Yiqing joined in.

She had just broken through to the Seventh Realm and had limited strength. If she were surrounded by two Level 7 beasts, she would be in grave danger.

The three of them hunted Calamity Beasts together for several hours straight.

Lin Qi felt mentally and physically clear, an exhilarating sense of release washing over him.

With every Calamity Beast he killed, he reaped a large amount of Merit Points, which was basically money.

Merit Points +3000, Merit Points +2000, Merit Points +1000, Merit Points +5000...

Without even looking, he knew his Merit Points were skyrocketing.

In a huge crater, three massive figures and three human figures were locked in a deadly battle.

Dean Liu, fighting through his mental and physical exhaustion, controlled three Flying Knives. They shot toward the Strong Ape before him like three streaks of silver light from different angles.

The Strong Ape’s weaknesses were the back of its head and its neck.

Just breaking the skin there would be enough to make it bleed to death.

Dozens of meters away, Pei Yiqing, clad in Red Armor that accentuated her curvy figure, was struggling to evade the attacks of an Earth-Splitting Wolf.

She looked quite disheveled, with sweat constantly beading on her forehead, and her Battle Armor showed varying degrees of damage.

"ROAR~"

Farther away, Lin Qi was once again locked in combat with an Iron Armor Rhinoceros.

By now, his Black Gold Armor no longer looked brand new. It was covered in several claw marks. Although the armor hadn’t been torn, the damage proved that the battles he had endured were not easy.

"BELLOW~"

Facing the Iron Armor Rhinoceros, whose massive body was like a small mountain, Lin Qi showed no fear.

Even as its helical horn pierced the air with a whistling sound, he activated his Body Technique Secret Manual, *Thunder Extreme Nine Flashes*.

After using it nonstop for a day, Lin Qi felt his body become even lighter.

Especially when he enhanced it with [Golden Light], he became as fast as Lightning, as agile as a fish.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!!"

Golden Spear Gangs shot out continuously, and the Iron Armor Rhinoceros was reduced to a meat target, absorbing the attacks.

「A few minutes later.」

Lin Qi became one with his spear and unleashed his Killing Technique—Heaven and Earth Return to Ruins.

"PFFT~"

The Black Gold Spear pierced the neck of the Iron Armor Rhinoceros, and it crashed to the ground.

Merit Points +

"Whew!"

Lin Qi pulled out his spear. Compared to the first time he’d hunted an Iron Armor Rhinoceros, this was much easier.

It showed that his physical strength had increased significantly, and the destructive power of his Techniques was also stronger.

Lin Qi turned to protect Pei Yiqing, quickly dispatching the Earth-Splitting Wolf and earning 4,000 Merit Points.

All that was left was to take care of the Strong Ape!

"BANG! BANG!!"

The Golden Spear Gang struck the Strong Ape, knocking it back repeatedly. Dean Liu seized the opportunity, and his three Flying Knives continuously tore at the Strong Ape’s neck, killing it!

"BANG!!"

The Strong Ape crashed to the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

"Hahhh!!"

Lin Qi took a deep breath. His body was still fired up, and he felt no fatigue.

His gaze fell upon his status panel. Over the course of the day, his Combat Power had also increased.

[A super-large-scale Calamity Beast outbreak occurred. You battled Level 7 Calamity Beasts, killing them continuously. Your practical combat experience has increased dramatically.]

[Your mastery of the *Mountain and River Spear Technique* has reached a new level. Spear Technique +3%.]

[You have become more proficient in the Body Technique *Thunder Extreme Nine Flashes*. Body Technique +3%.]

[Spear Technique: Tier Four 75% → Tier Four 78%]

[Body Technique: Tier Four 66% → Tier Four 69%]

...

After one day, Lin Qi’s Martial Arts Skills had improved significantly.

This also gave him the confidence to defeat Gu Jian within three months.

"Lin Qi, it’s over!"

"Hahh... hahh..."

Not far away, an exhausted Pei Yiqing walked over, panting heavily.

Beside them, Dean Liu recalled his Flying Knives and said with a weary face:

"The High-Level Calamity Beasts have almost all been hunted down. We can head back."

"Lin Qi, aren’t you tired?"

He looked at Lin Qi, his eyes filled with amazement.

He had truly seen something today.

He had never seen a Seventh Realm Martial Artist with such incredible stamina.

After fighting Level 7 Calamity Beasts for a whole day, he was still full of vigor, and his Combat Power was visibly growing stronger.

If he had to describe it in one word, it would be "freakish."
