118: Amazing

"Roar—!!!"

Accompanied by a world-shaking roar, a magnificent Fire Qilin, covered in crimson scales and with its four hooves treading on auspicious clouds of flame, leaped out from the magic circle! The moment it landed, a circle of scorching air blasted outward, sending dozens of surrounding zombies flying and setting them ablaze! The Fire Qilin raised its head, gathering a blinding light in its mouth, and suddenly spat out a massive burst of True Qilin Flame! Wherever the flames passed, the air distorted, and over a hundred zombies were turned into scattered ashes without even a chance to struggle! Zhang Lei's fingers danced as lifelike energy fire dragons with flying scales and claws roared out, crashing deep into the zombie horde. Each impact triggered a violent explosion and a fiery shockwave, exterminating hundreds and thousands of zombies!

He acted like the master of the battlefield, his gaze sweeping over the entire area. Once he discovered an Evolver in danger or besieged by high-tier zombies, he would flick his finger, and a lightning-fast ice crystal arrow would pierce through the air, accurately penetrating the zombie's skull and resolving the crisis in an instant!

Under Zhang Lei's near-miraculous performance, over a hundred Evolvers charged like tigers down a mountain into the gap torn open by the mecha units, each displaying their unique powers:

Li Wei pressed his hands down, and the ground shook violently! Countless grains of yellow sand gathered and rose as if alive, forming a violent sandstorm covering dozens of meters! The sand acted like high-speed rotating blades, crazily slicing through the zombies within range and pulling them into the center of the storm to be ground into mincemeat!

Tanya's figure was as fast as a ghost! The war god blade in her hand turned into a golden storm of death! Every swing brought a piercing sound of breaking air; whether it was an Iron Back or a Fatty, they were like tofu before the war god blade, easily sliced apart! She was like a death dancer on the battlefield, and wherever she passed, zombies fell like harvested wheat.

Chen Xiao summoned his Life-Bonded Summoned Beast, a wind-element Golden Eagle! With every flap of its wings, countless wind blades as sharp as knives whistled out, accurately slicing the necks of zombies! It would occasionally dive, its sharp claws easily tearing apart the heads of high-tier zombies.

Shen Nan let out a wild roar, instantly transforming into a massive werewolf with bulging muscles and claws shimmering with cold light! He charged into the zombie horde, his claws swinging, easily disemboweling the zombies!

Water Summoner summoned a hideous water-element giant crocodile! The giant crocodile opened its massive maw and spat out a high-pressure water cannon, knocking the zombies over, followed by a sweep of its giant tail that shattered them like a steel whip!

Yang Wen was covered in thick rock armor, looking like a moving mountain! He brandished a massive stone hammer reinforced with the earth element. With every strike, the ground trembled, and zombies within range were crushed into mincemeat!

Li Yi used both hands to manipulate the air currents, forming sharp wind blades that slashed toward distant Acid Throats and Venom Zombies like a machine gun, picking them off with precision!

Air Wing Vice-Captain summoned a rushing stream of water, violently washing away groups of zombies!

Flame Fist's fists burned with scorching flames. Every punch he threw brought a searing wind, creating small-scale fire explosions that blasted the zombies away and set them on fire!

Other ordinary Evolvers also held base-specialized alloy machetes, spiked maces, halberds, iron staves, and other melee weapons. They used their Superpowers to strengthen themselves, plunging into the zombie horde like sharp knives and engaging in bloody close-quarters combat! They coordinated perfectly, attacking and defending in an orderly fashion, efficiently harvesting the lives of zombies under the cover of the mecha and elite Evolvers.

Suddenly, Zhang Lei vigorously flapped his Ice-Fire Wings, his body soaring into the sky and hovering high above the center of the battlefield!

"Bliz—zard!"

A cold edict, seemingly from the nine underworlds, resounded across the battlefield! Zhang Lei's hands formed complex and mysterious hand seals, and a massive frost magic circle over a hundred meters in diameter, shining with ice-blue mysterious runes, suddenly unfolded in the void above his head! The array emitted a bone-chilling cold, making even the air seem to freeze!

"Whoosh—!!!"

A piercing, bone-chilling cold wind instantly swept through the entire battlefield! The temperature plummeted! Snowflakes as large as goose feathers, containing powerful frost energy, were generated out of thin air and poured down like a waterfall, covering an area of several square kilometers!

This was no ordinary snow! This was an energy storm containing Zhang Lei's powerful Superpower!

The zombies enveloped by the blizzard instantly saw their charging speed become incredibly sluggish, as if in slow motion! Thick layers of ice quickly condensed on their bodies! Low-tier zombies were completely frozen within seconds, turning into ice sculptures in various poses! First-Tier Zombies were also struggling bitterly, their movements becoming extremely stiff! Only a few powerful Second-Tier Zombies could barely resist, but even they found it difficult to move!

The entire battlefield seemed to have its pause button pressed! It was a silver-clad frozen wasteland of death!

"Now's our chance!" The spirits of all Evolvers and mecha unit members were greatly lifted!

"Kill!" A world-shaking battle cry rang out! The Evolvers pounced like tigers into a flock of sheep, easily shattering those frozen and sluggish zombies! The mecha units' fire also became more precise and efficient, specifically picking off those Second-Tier targets that were still struggling! Their efficiency instantly increased several times over!

Kyoto Base

Inside the Strategic Briefing Room, there was a deathly silence. The images transmitted on the screen caused even these high-ranking officials, who were used to big scenes, to feel a heartfelt shock and a hint of... awe?

Qin Guoqiang General's gaze moved away from the figure on the screen who looked like an Ice-Fire War God, turning toward Lin Yan, the captain of the Special Ops Elemental Squad who was known as the "Grand Mage of Divine Fire," sitting in the corner. His voice carried a hint of imperceptible dryness: "Captain Lin Yan... his fire spells... can you do that?"

Lin Yan stared fixedly at the roaring energy fire dragons Zhang Lei had casually thrown out and that immensely powerful Fire Qilin on the screen. His Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty as he slowly shook his head, his voice bitter and filled with disbelief: "Commander... performing a Grand Fire Dragon Technique requires a long period of charging and preparation. To do it like him... effortlessly, as natural as breathing... I cannot do it. Moreover... he also has such powerful ice Superpowers... and can even summon a legendary divine beast like the Fire Qilin... this... this simply exceeds my understanding of Evolvers." As the number one elementalist in Kyoto, he knew the difference in difficulty was as vast as a chasm.

A sharp light flickered in Qin Guoqiang's eyes. He actually already had an answer in his heart and was only confirming it now: "Could it be... he has already reached... Tier 3?"

Lin Yan was silent for a moment before finally saying in a deep voice: "I... cannot judge. But his strength is definitely not comparable to Tier 2. In Kyoto Base... there is likely no one who can match him."

Sitting on the other side, Lü Yan, the Evolver Special Ops Commander-in-Chief who had been resting with his eyes closed and his aura restrained, also opened his eyes at this moment. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, locked onto Zhang Lei's figure on the screen. A surge of battle intent, like a dormant volcano, surged within him. His fingers unconsciously rubbed the armrest of his chair, nearly crushing it! He whispered: "A very formidable opponent... I truly hope to exchange blows with him!" That voice was light, yet it carried an unquestionable desire.

The same shock and suspicion swept through all the bases across the country currently watching the broadcast like a shockwave.

At the Rongcheng Base in the South of the Ranges, the Fire Phoenix Summoner Nangong Yu watched the moment Zhang Lei's Ice-Fire Wings unfolded. The teacup in her hand was crushed to pieces with a "snap," her eyes filled with solemnity and disbelief.

At the Chengdu Base in western Sichuan, "Flash" Lei Heng looked at the rampaging Thunder Mechas and the Fire Qilin summoned by Zhang Lei, his brow furrowed as he murmured: "Ice and fire dual Superpowers... divine beast summoning... how is this possible?"

At the Yangtai Base in Gusu, "Windwalker" Liu Kaifeng looked at the blizzard that changed the weather and sucked in a breath of cold air: "Changing the weather on such a large scale... is this... something a human can do?"

At the Shengjing Base in Liaodong, "Ice Princess" Li Hanyu felt the bone-chilling cold that seemed to transmit through the screen. Her habitually icy face also showed a look of emotion: "Such a wide-ranging and powerful ice Superpower... far superior to mine..."

Zhang Lei, this War God of the Lujiang Base - Red Alert Legion, with his near-miraculous power, at this moment, shocked all the top Evolvers in the country!
