152: Qin Zhenyue attacked in anger

The spot Qin Zhenyue chose was precisely where those few Void Shield Bugs, like mobile fortresses, were putting immense pressure on the front line!

"Chairman Qin has made his move!"

The remaining soldiers' spirits lifted, as if they had seen the only light in the darkness.

Qin Zhenyue's target was one of the Giant Shield Bugs that was using its massive body to collapse a residential building's cover.

While still in mid-air, he pointed his right hand like a blade, and the Transcendent-level rule power—a sharp force containing ultimate penetration and shock destruction— Madness condensed at fingertips, gathered frantically at his fingertips; his entire arm emitted a dazzling white-gold light!

"Mountain Breaker!"

With a low roar, the white-gold light at his fingertips condensed into an extremely refined thin line. It wasn't an outward release of energy, but rather a highly compressed rule power attached to his fingertip!

He descended like a falling meteor, using his finger as a spear, fiercely stabbing towards the Giant Shield Bug's thick, dark-gold carapace, which shimmered with spatial ripples!

"Roar!"

The Giant Shield Bug seemed to sense the threat; the spatial ripples on its dorsal shell instantly became violent, attempting to deflect this fatal blow.

Splat!

A teeth-grinding sound, like a red-hot branding iron piercing butter!

Qin Zhenyue's fingertip, imbued with Transcendent-level rule power, had actually pierced through the dark-gold carapace, which was said to be able to deflect Gold-level energy attacks!

The white-gold sharp force erupted within the carapace!

Boom!

The Giant Shield Bug, comparable to a small tank, had its massive body stiffen abruptly, then countless dazzling white-gold beams erupted from within it!

Accompanied by a dull explosion, its indestructible carapace, like rock blasted from within, cracked and shattered into pieces!

The massive bug body collapsed with a crash, and green bug blood and organ fragments sprayed out like a fountain, instantly corroding several low-level Scythe-Legged Bugs that couldn't dodge in time!

One strike!

Instantly killing a Gold-level Void Shield Bug!

Qin Zhenyue's figure didn't stop. He pushed off the fallen bug corpse with his toes, using the momentum to transform into a streak of light again, pouncing towards a nearby Xeno-Rift Ray Bug that was condensing a pale light!

The Ray Bug's tail cannon glow was already intense, aimed at a temporary shelter crowded with wounded soldiers and medical personnel!

"You beast! Don't even think about it!"

Qin Zhenyue's speed was extreme. Just before the Xeno-Rift Ray was about to fire, he appeared like a phantom above and to the side of the Ray Bug!

He clasped his hands together, pouring Transcendent-level power into them. A huge phantom of a war hammer, entirely condensed from white-gold rule power, instantly formed above his head!

"Sky Quake!"

The phantom war hammer, carrying a terrifying might that seemed to suppress everything, smashed down with full force!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a dull shockwave that made hearts stop!

Space itself seemed to dent slightly from this single hammer blow!

The Xeno-Rift Ray Bug didn't even have time to shriek. Its entire body, along with the pale energy at its tail that had condensed to a critical point, was vibrated into the finest dust by the terrifying shock rules contained in that hammer blow!

Only a deep pit covered in spiderweb-like cracks remained on the spot!

"Hiss hiss—!"

The Energy-Corroding Locusts in the sky seemed enraged. A dense volley of eerie blue energy orbs rained down on Qin Zhenyue like a storm! The spatial erosion power contained in those orbs was enough to instantly drain any Gold-level expert.

Qin Zhenyue's eyes flashed with cold light; he neither dodged nor avoided!

The faint but tough Transcendent-level light membrane on his body suddenly brightened, enduring this wave of energy erosion head-on!

The light membrane fluctuated violently, emitting sizzling sounds of erosion. His face also paled slightly, and a portion of his internal energy was forcibly devoured.

But just as the orbs struck him, he took a deep breath, his chest heaving like bellows, and an even more violent aura erupted!

"Get lost!"

With an angry roar, materialized sound waves mixed with Transcendent-level rule power spread out from him like an invisible giant cannon!

The diving Energy-Corroding Locusts seemed to hit an invisible wall filled with destructive vibrations!

Dozens of those at the very front were instantly shattered, and those behind them were scattered like leaves in a gale, wailing as they flew backward, their formation in disarray!

Qin Zhenyue was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, stirring up a bloody storm in the swarm!

Every time he struck, it inevitably resulted in the fall or severe injury of a Gold-level Zerg!

Either a fingertip pierced through, a fist shattered, or a palm-blade cleaved!

White-gold rule power swirled around him. Wherever it passed, whether it was the fearless Scythe-Legged Bugs rushing forward, the Bone-Eating Beetles attempting to spray strong acid, or the elusive Phase Shifters, as long as they were swept by that white-gold radiance, they either died or were crippled!

He fought valiantly, covered in green bug blood and his own fresh blood. The Transcendent-level aura burned like a raging fire, representing both power and life rapidly consumed!

He became the most dazzling and tragic core of the battlefield, tearing open a gap in the surging bug tide with his single strength, buying a moment of respite for the remaining soldiers and professionals, and attracting the hateful gazes of more and more high-level Zerg.

However, the number of the bug tide was simply too immense!

Endless!

Kill one Gold-level, and immediately more would surge forward!

The low-level bugs were like a tide, fearlessly consuming his stamina and rule power.

A Phase Shifter, at the moment he killed a Giant Shield Bug, strangely flickered behind him, its sharp limbs fiercely stabbing towards his back!

"Hmph!"

Qin Zhenyue seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He spun around with a hand-blade, a flash of white-gold light, cutting the assailant in two.

But on the other side, several Xeno-Rift Rays had silently shot across!

He forcibly twisted his body to dodge; the pale beams grazed his ribs, leaving a mist of blood and scorched marks, and the light membrane condensed from rule power also dimmed a few shades.

"Chairman!"

The soldiers in the distance watched with eyes wide in fury.

In the high sky, more Energy-Corroding Locusts reassembled, and the eerie blue light began to condense again.

Further away, deep within the bug tide, even larger and more terrifying dark shadows were slowly moving, their cold gazes locked onto the "Asura" fighting desperately in the sea of bugs.

...Qin Zhenyue's blood-soaked figure, like a lone burning lighthouse in the dark tempest, briefly dispelled some of the despair.

Each flash of his white-gold light was accompanied by the fall of a Gold-level Zerg. The deafening roars and exploding Zerg remnants injected a powerful stimulant into the remaining human defenders.

"Follow Chairman Qin! Kill all these bugs!"

A City Defense Force captain, covered in blood, roared, leading the dozen or so remaining soldiers beside him to charge into the gap in the bug tide that Qin Zhenyue had torn open.

Their energy rifles spat fire, clashing with the fearless Bronze-level Scythe-Legged Bugs that rushed forward. Blade light, bug scythes, acid, and energy beams intertwined into a web of death.

However, the flicker of hope, before the boundless sea of bugs, was as weak as a candle in the wind.

The number of Void Zerg was simply too vast!

From high above, the entire Weiyang City appeared to be covered by a constantly squirming, black "carpet" emitting metallic luster and chilling energy.

This "carpet," composed of countless bugs of various forms, was devouring every corner of the city at a visible speed.

The City Defense Force's proud alloy armored vehicles were surrounded by several Bone-Eating Beetles.

Their thick black carapaces withstood the bombardment of energy cannons, and strong acid gushed like waterfalls from their shredder-like mouthparts, instantly corroding the armored vehicle's energy shield with sizzling sounds and billowing white smoke.

In less than ten seconds, the shield completely collapsed, and the hard alloy body melted like wax before the strong acid. The soldiers inside only had time to let out half a scream before being completely consumed by the acid.

Elite soldiers of the Professional Association formed battle formations, attempting to resist by relying on building ruins.

Energy shields connected to form a tough wall of light.

However, several pale Xeno-Rift Rays, like the scythe of death, shot silently from deep within the bug tide!

The terrifying penetrating power, capable of tearing space, instantly pierced through several layers of energy shields, precisely hitting the core of the battle formation.

More than a dozen Silver-level intermediate professionals maintaining the shields, along with their shield generators, turned to dust in the pale light without even a grunt!
