98: tyrant

Qin Shilei continued to draw his bow and shoot at the Tyrant's exposed brain matter.

However, the rapidly flying arrow was blocked by the Tyrant's left hand, which had lost its palm.

The Tyrant's muscles where it had been blown apart rippled, and they quickly grew and healed, protecting the white brain matter.

Qin Shilei put away his exquisite short bow, took out his Jinghong Sword, and charged towards the Tyrant.

Thunderbolt Thrust!

Upon contact, Qin Shilei unleashed a skill from Thunderous Nine Heavens.

The Jinghong Sword, shimmering with lightning, rapidly stabbed at various parts of the Tyrant's body.

The Tyrant completely ignored Qin Shilei's attacks, extending its palm, as large as a cattail leaf fan, and swung it towards Qin Shilei's head.

Judging by the whistling sound caused by the palm, if he were hit by it, his head would likely explode like a watermelon.

Qin Shilei ducked, avoiding the opponent's palm.

He stole a glance and saw that Thunderbolt Thrust had only pierced the Tyrant's thick muscles.

The small sword wounds automatically healed after a small amount of dark red blood flowed out.

This Tyrant's defense was not only astonishing, but its recovery ability was also incredibly impressive.

Seven Stars Falling Across the Sky!

Qin Shilei shifted his body, again avoiding the Tyrant's fist, and then, with the momentum, he slashed a sword at the opponent's lower back.

"Roar!"

Having failed to hit his target, the Tyrant roared in anger.

With the roar, the Tyrant's body rapidly expanded, quickly growing from three meters tall to over four meters tall.

Fourth sword.

Qin Shilei took advantage of the Tyrant's roar to stab it three more times.

Just as he was about to unleash the fifth sword, the Tyrant spun around and delivered a flying kick.

"So fast!"

The Tyrant's leg, as large as a pillar, produced a sonic boom, forcing Qin Shilei to bend down and perform a sliding tackle, narrowly avoiding the opponent's kick.

The Jinghong Sword in his hand swept upwards with the momentum, carving a shallow sword mark on the Tyrant's thigh.

Instant Step!

Qin Shilei activated his acceleration skill, circling the Tyrant and unleashing the sixth sword.

The Tyrant paid no attention to these attacks that only broke its skin, focusing only on chasing Qin Shilei and rapidly smashing its stone-hard fists.

Seventh sword!

Qin Shilei flashed to the Tyrant's left side, leaped, flying over four meters high, and slashed his sword towards the Tyrant's left side of its head, which was unprotected by its skull.

Just as Qin Shilei was about to split open the Tyrant's left side of its head and crush its brain matter, the Tyrant suddenly turned around and delivered a punch.

If Qin Shilei were to continue splitting open the Tyrant's head, he would be hit in the chest by the opponent.

Being struck by a hammer-like fist, even with the protection of soft golden armor, would result in broken ribs and shattered internal organs.

He would likely die on the spot.

Qin Shilei had no choice but to press down his Jinghong Sword, changing his attack to slash at the opponent's fist.

Sword and fist met, and Qin Shilei felt a massive force transmit from the opponent's fist through the Jinghong Sword.

But the Seven Stars Falling Across the Sky, which had already reached its seventh sword, did not disappoint him.

It successfully split open the opponent's fist, severing half of the Tyrant's forearm.

Even so, the Tyrant still struck Qin Shilei's chest with its half-fist.

Qin Shilei used the force to retreat, narrowly avoiding the opponent's flying kick.

Perhaps seeing how powerful Qin Shilei was, the Tyrant turned and ran in fear.

Qin Shilei once again took out his exquisite short bow and unleashed his powerful strike!

"Whoosh!"

In just two short seconds, the Tyrant, which had already run over a hundred meters, was finally caught by the arrow.

"Boom!"

The Tyrant's right leg was struck by an arrow, causing it to lose its balance and fall to the ground with a loud thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Qin Shilei once again gathered lightning energy onto his arrow.

As the Tyrant got up from the ground, its left side of its head happened to come into Qin Shilei's line of sight.

Qin Shilei released his hand, and the sharp arrow, enveloped in electric light, once again blasted the Tyrant's left side of its head.

"Bang!"

Without the protection of its skull and palm, the Tyrant's head finally exploded like a watermelon.

"The Captain is amazing!"

"Such a powerful zombie, killed by the Captain in less than three minutes—who else can do that?"

"That graceful footwork, that handsome swordplay, the Captain is a god in my heart."

"Captain, I want to bear your children."

The Fifth Company, called by Mu Ziping, collectively expressed their astonished admiration after witnessing Qin Shilei's heroic posture.

"Alright, let's get to work quickly."

Qin Shilei walked to the front of the office building, collected the qingtong treasure chests, and then came to the Tyrant's corpse, picking up the qingtong treasure chest it had dropped.

As he took out the Tyrant's ability crystal and crystals, the walkie-talkie hanging from his waist suddenly blared with a cry for help.

"Whoosh!"

Qin Shilei whistled, summoning Little Strong from the sky.

He leaped onto Little Strong's back, then directed Little Strong to fly southeast, towards the location of the distress call.

"Roar!"

As Qin Shi Lei approached a street in the southeast, a huge roar suddenly came from inside a restaurant building.

Just then, the voice of the Seventh Company Commander came through the walkie-talkie again, "Captain, we're on the eighth floor, and those Mutated Zombies are about to catch up."

"Little Strong, skim past that window on the eighth floor."

Qin Shilei directed Little Strong to fly towards that restaurant building.

Little Strong swooped down towards that window, and as it neared the building, its body tilted, left wing up, right wing down, soaring diagonally past that window.

Qin Shilei pushed off with his foot, using Little Strong's back to leap towards the window.

"Bang!"

Qin Shilei crashed through the glass, jumping into the restaurant's corridor.

"Captain, it's above you!" The Seventh Company Commander pointed to the ceiling of the corridor and shouted loudly.

"I see it."

Qin Shilei pushed off with his foot and slashed his sword at the zombie crawling on the ceiling like a gecko.

He instantly killed one of the wall-crawling zombies with a single sword strike, scaring the other two wall-crawling zombies into turning and fleeing into the distance.

"You guys go downstairs first."

Qin Shilei chased after the wall-crawling zombies while instructing the Seventh Company Commander.

These three wall-crawling zombies were not very strong, at least much weaker than the Tyrant.

But they were very agile, and they crawled on the ceiling.

Qin Shilei was unable to attack them for a while.

With a thought, the Jinghong Sword in his hand quickly transformed into the exquisite short bow.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Three sharp arrows rapidly chased the wall-crawling zombie on the left.

"Crack!"

The wall-crawling zombie was shot off the wall by the arrow.

Qin Shilei swept past, decapitating the opponent with a single sword strike.

The last wall-crawling zombie had already turned the corner of the corridor and disappeared from sight.

When Qin Shi Lei turned the corner, that wall-crawling zombie had already climbed out of the window at the end of the corridor.

Qin Shilei also followed, jumping out of the window.

Looking up, the wall-crawling zombie was about to climb into a window on the tenth floor.

Cloud Ladder!

Qin Shilei activated the enchantment on his shoes, then stepped with his left foot on his right, and his right foot on his left, rapidly chasing upwards.

"Still trying to escape."

Qin Shilei, who had just jumped into the window, immediately switched back to the Jinghong Sword.

A Thunderbolt Thrust killed that wall-crawling zombie on the spot.

After collecting his spoils of war, he descended to the first floor of the restaurant and found that everyone from the Seventh Company was there.

"Captain, thank you for saving us."

The Seventh Company Commander led his team members in a chorus of thanks.

Qin Shilei roughly counted their numbers and found that only eighty or so people remained.

He hadn't expected seven or eight people to die in just half a day after coming out.

The Seventh Company Commander blamed himself, "It's all my fault for choosing the wrong place, which led to the deaths of so many comrades."

Qin Shilei looked at their injuries and finally comforted them, "Don't blame yourselves too much. When we come out to kill zombies, we're essentially putting our lives on the line."

"Call me if you need anything, but also remember to act within your capabilities."
