58: It's time to... take the initiative!

Su Lei's pupils abruptly contracted as ten fierce attacks completely enveloped him.

In a flash, his Qi and blood surged like a volcanic eruption, and a muffled thunderous roar echoed from his internal organs.

The Nine Heavens Thunder Sound Vibration Method had been pushed to its limit.

"Boom!"

Zhao Yue's Mountain Splitting Palm stirred up rolling Qi waves, only three inches from Su Lei's back!

The palm wind tore his combat uniform, and the icy killing intent stung his skin.

In the nick of time, Su Lei twisted his waist sharply, sweeping his right leg out like a whip.

"Bang!"

His military boot collided violently with a wrist, and the sound of bones shattering was clearly audible.

Yet, the opponent's expression remained blank, as if this body was not his own.

Those hollow eyes stared intently at Su Lei, dragging the broken arm as he continued to charge.

"As expected, he's completely controlled..."

Su Lei's heart sank.

These were originally elites carefully selected from the two major military regions,

Their physiques had undergone countless refinements, and each possessed Advanced Martial Skills.

Now, under the control of that mysterious person, they had completely transformed into cold killing machines, devoid of fear, ignorant of pain, with only him as their target.

Invisible pressure surged like a tide, and Su Lei's temples throbbed.

He took a deep breath and threw his right fist forward.

At the same time, his left hand formed a claw, fingers like hooks, precisely gripping the dagger that had silently lunged from his side.

Using this momentum, he executed a backflip, soaring into the air, his legs sweeping like scissors, kicking two lunging Martial Masters more than ten meters away.

The two bodies ploughed deep furrows in the sand, yet immediately stood up again.

Before his feet could even touch the ground, a sharp whooshing sound came from behind his head!

Three flying daggers, gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light, attacked in a triangular formation.

Su Lei instinctively tilted his head, and the three flying daggers grazed his cheek, instantly disappearing into the distant hills.

The next moment, ten figures mechanically adjusted their encirclement.

There was no trace of humanity in their hollow eyes, only icy killing intent.

Su Lei took a deep breath, silently observing his surroundings.

Although the exchange had lasted only a few breaths, deadly killing moves poured down like a continuous rain.

Every second he walked on the edge of life and death, every moment he faced fierce attacks from different angles.

This suffocating sense of oppression far exceeded any life-and-death struggle he had ever experienced.

He had originally planned to limit the movements of these comrades by shattering their joints, but after truly engaging, he had to abandon that idea.

These controlled Martial Masters not only retained all their combat experience and skills,

Even more terrifying was their complete abandonment of self-preservation, every move was a life-for-a-life fighting style.

"I must finish this quickly..."

Su Lei slowly exhaled a turbid breath, staring at the ten figures closing in, his brain rapidly working.

After this battle, whether returning to the space-time rift or dealing with the mastermind, he had to conserve sufficient stamina.

"Wait..."

Su Lei's pupils slightly contracted, suddenly realizing something.

If Grandmaster Ye was still contending with this mysterious person somewhere, then where were the remaining nineteen elite Martial Masters?

From the previous conversation, it could be confirmed.

During the beast tide attack, that mysterious person observed them in secret through a method similar to Mental Energy scanning, and Su Lei's performance was fully seen.

If all twenty-nine of them had been sent at once, he would have only ended up captured.

As his thoughts raced, a certain conjecture vaguely formed in his mind.

The opponent's goal was to control these military elites; it was unlikely that the nineteen people had already been killed, and most likely they were also under Mental control.

After all, the opponent's Mental Energy was astonishingly powerful and overbearing; a Fourth-Order Martial Master had no power to resist in front of him.

If he hadn't persistently Cultivated the Meditation Technique, and his Mental Energy had not been tempered a thousand times, he would probably have long become one of the controlled ones... "So that's how it is."

Su Lei's lips curved into a sharp arc,

"Your Mental Energy is not inexhaustible; while suppressing Grandmaster Ye, controlling ten people is already your limit."

As long as he could find the mastermind, share the pressure on Grandmaster Ye, and allow him to escape,

With his strength as a Grandmaster-level expert, he would be able to instantly reverse the entire battle!

Su Lei's gaze turned towards the depths of the oasis.

The next moment, the Nine Heavens Thunder Sound erupted within his body.

"It's time... to take the initiative!"

Just as Su Lei's thoughts raced, a whooshing sound suddenly struck!

A cold-gleaming alloy combat knife chopped down from above his head, the blade tearing through the air with a piercing shriek.

Su Lei's eyes narrowed, he subtly shifted his body, and his right hand naturally gripped the wrist of the knife-wielder,

He twisted his waist, using the opponent's forward momentum to execute an over-the-shoulder throw, slamming the person hard into three charging attackers.

"Boom!"

Four bodies crashed into the sand, creating deep pits and kicking up a cloud of yellow dust.

However, before he could even catch his breath, the remaining six had already re-encircled him with perfectly synchronized steps.

Their movements were chillingly precise, a dense, impenetrable web of fists and legs.

"Cannot prolong the fight..."

Su Lei's eyes blazed with sharp light, he lowered his stance, and slammed a heavy punch into the ground.

"Rumble—"

A violent force spread out like ripples, and the sand within a ten-meter radius instantly collapsed!

Countless grains of sand shot out like bullets, and the six instinctively raised their hands to block, their attacks momentarily freezing.

"Boom!"

The sand beneath Su Lei's feet instantly exploded, forming a two-meter-diameter crater.

He burst out of the swirling dust like a cannonball.

At full power, his speed was extreme, leaving several blurry afterimages in the air.

However, just as he was about to rush into the oasis, a chilling cold suddenly struck the back of his neck.

Su Lei instinctively dodged and rolled.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

Six poisoned flying daggers grazed his combat uniform, deeply embedding themselves into the trunk of a palm tree ahead.

Immediately after, three steel needles shot through the air, their tips glowing with an eerie blue light.

Su Lei gritted his teeth and accelerated, his figure rapidly weaving through the dense palm grove.

Footsteps followed him like a shadow, ten figures appearing and disappearing among the dappled tree shadows.

Their speed did not diminish in the slightest, as if they were tireless killing machines.

Su Lei took a deep breath.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three consecutive heavy stomps, each leaving a deep indentation in the ground.

In an instant, he had covered a hundred meters, speeding towards the depths of the oasis.

Suddenly, two distinct energy fluctuations came from his left side.

One was faint but familiar, the unique Grandmaster aura of Grandmaster Ye.

The other was cold and bone-chilling, the Mental Energy that had previously invaded his consciousness!

Su Lei unhesitatingly changed direction, rushing towards the source of the aura.

As the distance closed, the energy fluctuations in the air grew stronger and stronger, even causing subtle distortions in space.

"It's right ahead!"

He leaped over the last patch of bushes, but the sight before him made his gaze sink.
