132: Chapter 132 Massacre!

[Ding! You have killed Li Bin. Sin Value +1!]

The System notification sounded particularly jarring in the quiet valley.

The expressions on the faces of the eighth awakening players, who had originally harbored thoughts of luck, had now shifted completely from arrogance to sheer terror.

They had thought the Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon was the tough nut to crack, so they planned to sacrifice the "fourth awakening rookie" Su Chen first. But who could have guessed that this seemingly harmless youth was the true ancient Vicious Beast in human skin?

"Don't be so arrogant!"

Lin Bo, a Ninth Awakening Dragon-tongue Archer, roared. His fingers flicked rapidly, and two cold arrows, carrying the sound of dragon roars, tore through the air like two dragons playing with a pearl!

[Dragon-tongue · Silence Arrow]!

[Dragon-tongue · Imprisonment Arrow]!

How swift was the charged strike of a ninth awakening powerhouse? The sonic boom generated as the arrows sliced through the air pierced the eardrums, and in the blink of an eye, they had already reached the corner of Su Chen's clothes.

"The next one on the list is you."

Su Chen didn't even look back at the whistling arrows. His deep and cold gaze crossed the Void Realm, locking onto an eighth awakening archer who was about to nock an arrow not far away.

It was a coldness akin to the Grim Reaper calling out a name.

[Blink Thrust]!

[Blink Thrust]!

[Flash Stab]!

Afterimages flashed repeatedly; space seemed to fold beneath Su Chen's feet.

He wove through the gaps between the arrows at an incredibly eerie frequency, not only avoiding Lin Bo's killing move without a scratch but also appearing right in front of the eighth awakening archer's face without warning, under the man's terrified and wide-eyed gaze.

The 'flame of joy' swung across the air, its blazing arc consuming the field of vision.

*Puchi!*

A fine head soared into the sky, and a pillar of blood several meters high erupted from the headless corpse.

[Ding! You have killed Tang Boshi. Sin Value +1!]

It was still an instantaneous kill with no suspense!

"This... is this a joke? Is he really only at the fourth awakening?"

"With this kind of movement and burst power—retreat! Scatter and run for your lives!"

The remaining eighth awakening players completely broke down.

At this moment, their pride as elites was trampled into dust by Su Chen.

Even the thick-skinned warriors couldn't block that sword. They clearly realized they weren't participating in a siege, but were waiting for a judgment called "Massacre."

The original encirclement collapsed instantly as everyone began to flee frantically in all directions.

"Roar—!!!"

However, the Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon guarding the ground had already seen through their intentions.

Its hideous dragon head reared up suddenly, thunder rolling within its chest.

[Purple Flame · Thunder Beam]!

A purple thunder pillar thousands of meters long swept across the sky. The violent energy instantly pierced through the backs of several escapees, and the powerful paralysis effect caused them to fall stiffly from mid-air.

Su Chen transformed into the Grim Reaper traveling through the Void Realm, unleashing consecutive thrusts to harvest those who had escaped the paralysis effect one by one.

Zhao Zheng's face turned ashen as he watched his subordinates fall one after another.

He had originally thought Su Chen's counterattack was just the struggle of a cornered beast, but he didn't expect the level of offense and defense between the two sides to be on completely different planes.

Although the lives of these subordinates weren't as important as Su Chen's secrets, these people were all trusted aides he had cultivated for years and the Foundation of his position in the Knight Order.

"Don't run blindly! Gather together and work together to intercept and kill him!"

Zhao Zheng roared, issuing a death order.

He could no longer hold back, leading the charge alongside two ninth awakening Vice-commanders, attempting to suppress Su Chen's movement with a seamless control net.

For a moment, [Dragon-tongue · Binding Arrow], [Dark Imprisonment], and a wide-range [Wave of Destruction] covered the sky and the battlefield. Zhao Zheng, riding a Three-headed Flying Dragon, charged with a despair-inducing death strike, man and mount as one.

But this offensive, which was enough to lock down a Sub-God powerhouse, was full of loopholes in Su Chen's eyes.

Even though the ten charges of [Blink Thrust] were exhausted, Su Chen didn't panic at all.

[Divine Rank Refresh]!

The [refresh ring] on his finger erupted with a dazzling Divine Power glow, and all movement skills were instantly reset!

"Next, it's your turn."

Su Chen pointed his longsword at a priest in the crowd.

His eerie, strange laugh was like the King of Hell calling roll, causing the targeted person to instantly feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar; even the courage to run evaporated due to fear.

"Holy Light Shield... activate!" The priest, covered in snot and tears, waved his staff in despair.

"Too slow."

A cold voice sounded behind him. Before the Holy Light could bloom, Su Chen's heavy sword had already pierced through his back and out through his chest.

"Damn it! Does his teleportation have no cooldown?"

Zhao Zheng was so angry he almost spat blood.

He relied on the high speed of his mount to charge repeatedly, but every time he arrived with his spear, Su Chen would always blink away by a hair's breadth to another location to harvest the next life.

[Lightless Domain]!

Zhao Zheng suddenly activated his ultimate move. Absolute darkness instantly spread to the surroundings, attempting to strip Su Chen of his vision.

[Ding! You are affected by the Lightless Domain. Vision reduced by 90%, movement speed decreased by 30%!]

Su Chen, plunged into darkness, was startled for a moment, but then a peculiar smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Vision? Under his [True Sight Eye], this so-called Lightless Domain was nothing more than a transparent curtain.

Even better, this environment perfectly triggered his [Shadow Walker] talent!

His attack speed and movement speed didn't decrease; instead, they increased!

The slaughter became even more efficient in the extreme darkness.

"The seventh... it's your turn!"

In the darkness, the continuous pronouncements of doom drove the survivors into complete madness.

When even the eighth awakening knights were killed with a single throat-slit, the remaining Zhao Jieli was so desperate that he even hid under the belly of Zhao Zheng's mount.

But even though Zhao Zheng was waiting like a predator for Su Chen to appear so he could thrust his spear, Su Chen's speed was still incredibly fast.

A cold flash.

The instant before the spear tip struck him, Su Chen lightly slashed Zhao Jieli's throat, then disappeared once more into the depths of the darkness through Blink Thrust, leaving behind only a decapitated corpse.
