Chapter 610: The Lion Mauls the Rabbit
Void Spear was a new skill Zhang Yi gained after devouring a fragment of Yuan Kongye’s origin.
Compared to Divine Might, it had longer range and a wider area of effect—perfectly making up for Zhang Yi’s lack of AOE power and long-range offensive capability.
However, when it came to powerful Strength-type or Beast-type Superhumans, it didn’t guarantee a one-shot kill.
Take Sun Jianming, for example—an elite Delta-class Superhuman.
Zhang Yi held Judgment, his Adamantium blade, in his right hand, with the Dimensional Shield raised in his left, slowly advancing toward Sun Jianming.
No half-measures—Zhang Yi always followed the principle: If people don’t mess with me, I won’t mess with them. But if they do… I’ll eliminate them to the root.
Not a single one of Daze City’s Superhumans was going to walk away alive today!
Sun Jianming’s bloodied body twitched on the ground.
Just moments ago, Sun Jianming had instinctively unleashed his full strength, which was the only reason he hadn’t been completely obliterated by the void energy like the others.
But nearly every bone in his body was broken, his internal organs severely damaged—he couldn’t even crawl.
Terror flooded Sun Jianming’s heart, quickly giving way to confusion, and then—at death’s doorstep—everything boiled down to one emotion: rage.
Why were you so f***ing strong but still pretended to be weak?
If you’d told us from the start, would we have even dared to mess with you?!
Sun Jianming struggled to lift his head, glaring fiercely at Zhang Yi.
With his last breath, he let out a furious roar from his throat:
Zhang Yi stopped exactly one hundred meters away.
Casually, he opened a Dimensional Gate, raised Judgment in his hand, as if adjusting for the perfect strike.
“There’s no ‘why’ about it.”
Zhang Yi said calmly—and slashed through the Dimensional Gate, his blade piercing straight through Sun Jianming’s skull.
“You were just too weak.”
With that, over 80% of the invading Superhumans from Daze City had already been wiped out midway through their operation—
Including two Delta-class faction leaders.
Zhang Yi’s face remained expressionless.
Everything was unfolding exactly as he had planned.
For high-level Superhumans, the power gap with those beneath them was absolute and crushing.
This feeling reminded him of when Wu Chu first arrived in Tianhai City with the frontier army.
Even among others at the Delta level, he stood on an entirely different tier.
Elsewhere, a figure was sprinting frantically across the snowy plains, kicking up a massive spray of snow in his wake.
It was Chen Liangyu, one of Daze City’s three faction leaders.
As a Beast-type Superhuman, his transformation was 【Jaguar】.
Driven by primal hunter’s instinct, he had sensed imminent death the moment Zhang Yi activated Void Condensation.
Within just one second, he had escaped the attack’s range.
As he looked back at the massive black void still lingering in the distance, Chen Liangyu was filled with dread.
“Is… is that guy even a Delta-class Superhuman? He’s gotta be on the same level as the Investigation Captain from Blizzard City!”
“What kind of monster have we provoked?!”
“I have to run—I’ve gotta get out of here or I’m definitely dead!”
All other concerns flew out the window. When your life’s on the line, everything else becomes disposable.
But just as he sprinted forward, a massive wall of flame suddenly rose in his path!
Fire roared up into the sky, thick with the smell of alcohol.
Chen Liangyu was forced to stop in his tracks by the intense heat.
He looked up—and saw two Superhumans standing ahead of him.
One was a woman radiating magma runes across her body, her gaze as sharp and cold as a blade, holding a massive wine gourd.
Behind her stood a man with a soft, feminine face, smiling with narrowed eyes.
It was Xiao Honglian, the leader of Yangsheng Base, and her deputy, Zhuge Qingtin.
They had been waiting there for some time.
Zhang Yi didn’t bother chasing after the rest. The remaining grunts were scared out of their minds—he didn’t need to lift a finger.
After absorbing Sun Jianming’s origin, he returned to the base of the Three-Seven Tower, pulled out a chair, sat down, and rested while waiting for updates.
Half an hour later, everyone gradually regrouped—each carrying several heads in their hands.
Red frost had formed on their bodies—frozen blood.
But every single one of them was smiling.
This time, Daze City had sent in their elite forces—many of them Superhumans.
After they were killed, and with Zhang Yi’s silent permission, the Superhumans of Tianhai City absorbed their origins.
Aside from those that had been completely annihilated by Zhang Yi’s void attacks, the rest had become fuel for Tianhai’s rise.
Hua Hua and Liang Yue especially—both had the highest kill counts, and reaped the most benefits.
Xiao Honglian strode confidently toward Zhang Yi, dropping Chen Liangyu’s head at his feet.
“This was one of the three faction leaders from Daze City—Chen Liangyu!”
Pride was written all over her face.
After all, killing a major faction leader was an almost unheard-of feat in the entire Jiangnan District.
But in front of Zhang Yi, her pride melted into complete humility—pure, wholehearted submission.
Before, she might’ve had some lingering unwillingness.
But after tonight, that was all gone.
Everyone had seen Zhang Yi’s true strength.
He was on a level they simply couldn’t reach.
One by one, everyone lowered their heads before him, not out of fear, but from heartfelt respect and reverence.
Zhang Yi turned toward Liang Yue.
She wore gray deerskin gloves and held a longsword, her face calm and cool.
“Count the heads. Does the number match what Xinxin reported?”
Liang Yue couldn’t help but say, “That might be a little tough. You blasted most of them into dust.”
Zhang Yi let out a dry laugh. “Fair enough.”
Then his expression turned serious:
“But tonight, no one lets their guard down! I’ve said it before—none of the Superhumans from Daze City are walking out of this alive!”
“And everything that happened tonight—no one says a single word to the outside world!
Even if Blizzard City asks, tell them to come talk to me directly. Got it?”
His power and abilities might eventually be exposed.
But the later that happened, the better.
Every day he could keep them secret was another chance to exploit the information gap to assassinate his enemies.
Exposing himself too soon would only attract attention from the Jiangnan District leadership.
Chen Jingguan was the first to step forward, straightening his back.
“Yes, sir! Whatever the Boss asks, Chaoyu Base will follow to the letter—no exceptions!”
Xingtian quickly added, “Same goes for me!”
Xiao Honglian, seeing the others jump in first, bit her lip in frustration.
“Do we even need to say it?! I already belong to the Boss, body and soul!
If anyone dares to disobey him, I’ll be the first to take them down!”
As soon as those words left her mouth, everyone looked at her with very strange expressions.
Then their eyes bounced back and forth between her and Zhang Yi.
Only then did Xiao Honglian realize what she’d just implied in her panic.
Zhang Yi looked mildly speechless.
“Ahem, what I meant was—”
Zhang Yi waved her off. “Alright, alright, we get it.”
Explaining it any further would just make it worse.
