The longsword in his hand whistled through the air. Chu Han charged alone into the mutant beast horde without the slightest hesitation.
"BOOM... BOOM..."
Accompanied by violent crashes, the mutant beast horde seemed to grow somewhat chaotic due to Chu Han's actions. The entire Beast Tide couldn't help but tremble.
Endless blood sprayed. Visibly large quantities of severed limbs flew from the horde. Exquisitely refined technique allowed Chu Han to identify these mutant beasts' weakest points in an instant, then deliver fatal strikes.
With merely a sword, Chu Han slaughtered freely through the beast horde, walking the razor's edge of danger.
No violent flames or thunder.
No earth-shaking artillery technology either.
Only one person, one sword, and supremely masterful swordsmanship.
Each swing of his sword claimed a mutant beast's life.
Under his blade, even the hardest scales held not the slightest resistance. They were severed with ease.
In a certain sense, the Sword Card was also a kind of idealistic power.
As long as you believed you could cut it—then nothing in heaven or earth existed that you couldn't cut.
"Ring—"
The sword edge seemed to emit excited sword cries from being stained with blood. At this moment, the ground was filled with mutant beast corpses. Blood soaked this earth. The air was thick with the stench of blood.
"RUMBLE... RUMBLE..."
As though attracted by the bloody scent in the air, the ground trembled again. Even more mutant beasts surged forth from all directions. And this was the true Beast Tide.
What came before had merely been an appetizer.
Endless and inexhaustible. An unceasing flood.
"The true slaughter—it begins now."
Chu Han showed not the slightest fear. Possessing the Beast-Type Tyrannosaurus ability, other aspects aside—in terms of stamina, he was inferior to no one. Moreover, his current combat relied on exquisite swordsmanship—the stamina consumed was minimal.
To exhaust him completely, under current circumstances, would require at least a full day.
Not to mention this was the period when spiritual energy between heaven and earth was most abundant. His body would passively absorb spiritual energy from the air to recover stamina.
But precisely because he relied on swordsmanship to fight, truly annihilating the Beast Tide before him would also require a long time.
Therefore—
This was destined to be a prolonged slaughter. So prolonged that this flat road would change color.
Crimson blood-red!
This was a bloody feast belonging to him. A carnival belonging to him alone.
At this moment, Chu Han didn't know that his actions had already been observed by Cloud City's Spiritual Energy Bureau.
Then the entire Spiritual Energy Bureau began shaking with excitement.
Originally, after detecting the Beast Tide, they'd rapidly prepared everything according to their previous plan, just waiting for the mutant beast horde's arrival.
But after waiting a long time—aside from a few mutant beasts—they'd waited for nothing.
This absolutely shouldn't be.
According to their detection, this should be a Beast Tide no less severe than the Second Spiritual Energy Tide. How could there be only this few mutant beasts?
They'd even steeled themselves for a prolonged battle. And the result was just this little?
Was this a joke?
With puzzled emotions, they controlled drones to scout toward the distance. Then appeared a scene that left everyone shocked and incredulous.
Mutant beast corpses piled like mountains, nearly filling the entire road.
Countless quantities of blood flowed across the ground, even dyeing the earth surrounding the road red.
If not for this road being flat, this blood would have formed a blood pool.
Though they couldn't smell the bloody scent in the air, their minds passively conjured it.
At the end of this road, they could faintly see a man wielding a longsword, shuttling through the mutant beast horde. Each swing mercilessly claimed a mutant beast's life.
At this moment, he wasn't merely blocking this massive mutant beast horde—with his strength alone, he was counter-killing deeper into the Beast Tide. The entire mutant beast horde was being slaughtered into retreat because of his appearance!
They feared this man before them...
If not for their desire for evolution, they very likely would have already withdrawn.
No mutant beast could refuse evolution—even under threat of death!
Therefore, no matter how fearful, they still charged fearlessly toward the man before them.
Watching the nearly inconceivable scene on the screen, everyone in Cloud City's Spiritual Energy Bureau fell silent.
Even Cloud City's Spiritual Energy Bureau Director.
"Who is he?"
After brief silence, his eyes lit up as he looked at the person on screen, asking impatiently.
He'd thought Cloud City had no notable geniuses. Who would have imagined it wasn't that they lacked them—but that they hadn't discovered them?
Look at this incomparably exquisite swordsmanship! Look at this strength to plunge alone into the Beast Tide seven times in and seven times out!
Dare you say he's not strong?
Perhaps slightly inferior to First Sequence powerhouses like the Four Emperors—but compared to other First Sequence individuals, he definitely wasn't lacking in the slightest.
Anyone who could face a Beast Tide with their strength alone—who dared say they weren't First Sequence?!
Hahaha...
Let's see how that old bastard from Ning City tries to show off to me in the future!
Just your Ning City produced a dragon?
Our Cloud City also produced a golden dragon!
"Director, if I'm not mistaken, his name should be Chu Han."
"According to records, Chu Han awakened the Beast-Type Tyrannosaurus ability, with Second Sequence talent. We invited him to join the Spiritual Energy Bureau, but he refused."
"He chose to become a mercenary."
"I never imagined he possessed such exquisite swordsmanship."
A staff member flipped through records and hurriedly spoke.
Because Chu Han's talent was Second Sequence level—the top-tier talent in Cloud City—naturally he had a deep impression.
He just hadn't imagined Chu Han also possessed such terrifying swordsmanship!
Though maintaining his ability's active state, it was clearly to enhance his physique, thereby maintaining the capacity to swing his sword for extended periods. What he used to slaughter mutant beasts was swordsmanship alone!
Hard to imagine that in the current world, relying on cold weapons alone could achieve such a degree.
"Chu Han?"
"Hahaha! Good name, good name!"
"You can tell at a glance he's sword material!"
"Worthy of being from our Cloud City!"
The director nodded with satisfaction, then—as though remembering something—spoke to the staff member:
"What are you standing around for? Can't you see our Vantora City warrior is fighting a bloody battle? Hurry and send support!"
"This is our Cloud City's future!"
"Ah? Yes, sir!"
The called-upon staff member froze momentarily, then hurriedly responded and began contacting frontline personnel to prepare support.
"And the rest of you—stop standing around too. Quickly activate recording functions and capture these scenes."
"After it ends, edit it a bit, add some BGM, and post it to our official website."
