Chapter Forty-Seven: Every Shot Hits Its Mark

"Roar—humans must die!"
"Humans, that human! Die!"
Ke Bei’s rampant slaughter finally drew the attention of the beasts and the low-tier gods. Six low-tier gods, three blue-eyed, purple-maned lions, and a single golden-maned berserk bear let out a savage howl and charged furiously toward Ke Bei.

"A mid-ranked Marshal Beast!"

Staring at the golden-maned berserk bear, Ke Bei’s face took on a hint of caution.

Marshal Beasts are as powerful as humans at the Transcendence Realm; mid-ranked Marshal Beasts are no weaker than mid-ranked Transcendents, and can rival the intermediate gods!

Human warriors are divided into Level One Enhancers, Level Two Enhancers, Level Three Enhancers, and those who surpass Level Three enter the Transcendence Realm, which itself is split into lower, middle, and upper ranks. Above the Transcendence Realm is the Titled War God!

The Titled War Gods are the apex of the power pyramid. For instance, Han Lingyue’s father, the Lord of Lingfeng City, is a Titled War God, and he himself has just broken through to the Transcendence Realm and advanced to the rank of Titled War God!

Zombies are classified as red-haired zombies, blue-haired zombies, purple-haired zombies, and after another evolution, they become gods. Gods, whose appearance is nearly indistinguishable from humans, are extremely powerful—divided into low-tier, mid-tier, and high-tier gods, corresponding respectively to the lower, middle, and upper ranks of the human Transcendence Realm. Above the high-tier gods are the God Kings; each God King is the most powerful among the zombie clans and can contend with human Titled War Gods!

Beasts, meanwhile, are classified as low-tier, mid-tier, and high-tier. Surpassing high-tier beasts are the Marshal Beasts, themselves divided into lower, middle, and upper ranks, their might on par with the Transcendence Realm. Beyond Marshal Beasts are the King Beasts, the strongest of their kind.

With Ke Bei’s current strength, low-tier gods and lower-ranked Marshal Beasts barely deserve his attention. As for mid-tier gods and mid-ranked Marshal Beasts, before he acquired the Nine Yang Divine Skill, Ke Bei could only flee from them. But now, with the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he no longer feared them.

Now that he possessed internal energy, his Lingbo Microstep and Little Li Flying Dagger could unleash their true power! What threat could mere intermediate gods pose?

Ke Bei had absolute confidence in his own strength and in the Little Li Flying Dagger!

"This human is the one who attacked our clan last night! He must die!"

Six low-tier gods stared coldly at Ke Bei, their crimson eyes gleaming with murderous intent.

"Roar! Humans must die!"

The three blue-eyed, purple-maned lions, each massive as a small mountain, roared at Ke Bei, but did not charge immediately. They simply glared at him with their lantern-like blue eyes, and when the god declared that Ke Bei was the one who ambushed them, their four hooves tensed and they discreetly retreated a few steps.

They already knew that a human powerhouse had slain gods last night—five high-tier gods and thirty-six mid-tier gods were killed at once!

Such power was terrifying. Marshal Beasts possessed intelligence rivaling humans and were not foolish; facing such a formidable human, they would not recklessly rush in.

"The human who killed our clan’s experts is not him, but another. With his strength, he could never be a match for our clan’s powerhouses!"

Noticing the three lions retreating, the low-tier gods hastily explained.

"Roar—he’s not the one? Why didn’t you say so earlier!"

On hearing that the human capable of easily slaying high-tier gods was not Ke Bei, the blue-eyed, purple-maned lions relaxed, opened their bloody jaws and roared at Ke Bei. They shook their huge heads and glared discontentedly at the six low-tier gods.

"Hahaha, I’m not that human powerhouse, really not. Come on, beasts, my palms are itching. If you don’t make a move soon, I’ll just run away!"

Hearing the exchange between gods and beasts, Ke Bei laughed, his tone tinged with mockery. He swept his disdainful gaze over the six low-tier gods and three lions, finally resting his eyes on the massive golden-maned berserk bear, nearly four meters tall, its body covered in golden fur.

"Humans must die!"

The six low-tier gods exchanged glances. They knew that if they didn’t take the initiative, those cunning lions would never dare attack.

Swish, swish, swish!

The low-tier gods stomped the ground, their bodies shooting out like arrows, six fists whistling through the air as they struck at Ke Bei.

Ke Bei watched the six rampaging gods, smiling calmly. Before acquiring the Nine Yang Divine Skill, his strength was slightly inferior to the low-tier gods, and he had relied on the sharpness of his saber to kill them.

But now, that was no longer necessary!

As the six gods’ fists were about to reach him, Ke Bei moved. With a thought, the surging internal energy of the Nine Yang Divine Skill flooded to his feet. Lingbo Microstep was unleashed in a flash, leaving behind a sharp, almost tangible afterimage. As the gods’ fists struck the afterimage, Ke Bei’s real body appeared behind them.

He drew a deep breath. The powerful internal energy of the Nine Yang Divine Skill surged through his arm meridians like a floodgate opening, instantly concentrating in his fists.

Bang, bang, bang!

Six afterimages remained as Ke Bei unleashed six punches in a single instant, each hammering the backs of the low-tier gods whose bodies were remarkably durable.

"Die!"

Six streams of scorching Nine Yang Divine Skill internal energy surged through Ke Bei’s fists, smashing into the bodies of the six gods. With a low growl, the energy rushed into the depths of their minds, targeting their divine cores.

Silently, as the internal energy struck, the six divine cores shattered instantly. The divine core is the heart of a god—in the moment Ke Bei destroyed them, their bodies froze, still poised as if attacking him, but their lives were extinguished in a flash!

"Hahaha, so this is the power of internal energy, the might of the Nine Yang Divine Skill!"

Ke Bei gazed at the lifeless gods and suddenly laughed aloud.

Before acquiring the Nine Yang Divine Skill, Ke Bei dared not take on the gods head-on, relying instead on the intricacy of Lingbo Microstep and the blood-soaked sharpness of his saber to slay them.

But now, he hadn’t even drawn his blade. With casual punches, and a flicker of internal energy, he wiped out the gods bloodlessly!

This sensation was exhilarating to the extreme, wholly different from killing gods with a sharp weapon!

"Roar—human!"

The golden-maned berserk bear, a mid-ranked Marshal Beast, had been staring coldly at Ke Bei with blood-red eyes. Now it roared furiously.

The bear was shrewd; it hadn’t acted rashly, instead watching Ke Bei intently. If the human proved too powerful, it would flee. Observing Ke Bei’s attack, it found nothing particularly strong—just a strange method.

So, while Ke Bei was momentarily distracted, the bear launched its long-prepared sneak attack. Its massive body stamped the ground, breaking the sound barrier with a deafening sonic boom.

The golden-maned berserk bear appeared before Ke Bei almost instantly, its giant paw swinging at his head.

"Finally lost control, did you?"

Ke Bei had never fought a mid-ranked Marshal Beast and didn’t know how powerful they truly were, so he’d remained vigilant toward the bear.

As its enormous paw rose, Ke Bei unleashed Lingbo Microstep to the limit—his body shifted imperceptibly, leaving a sharp afterimage in place.

With a thud, the bear’s massive paw struck the afterimage, creating a sharp air blast, passing effortlessly through the phantom.

Its full-force attack hit only empty air, causing the bear to stagger under its own momentum.

"Not good!"

"Run!"

Missing its strike, the mid-ranked Marshal Beast felt a chill in its heart—the human’s speed was simply too fast. Without hesitation, it lifted its huge paws and stamped down, its body breaking the sound barrier as it fled forward.

"Escape? Do you think you can?"

Ke Bei fixed his gaze on the bear’s towering form. A flying dagger appeared in his palm.

Swish!

The Nine Yang Divine Skill’s internal energy flowed swiftly through special meridians, reaching Ke Bei’s fingers. With a terrifying sonic boom, the flying dagger, wrapped in internal energy, shot out from his palm.

A flash of cold light!

The dagger, enveloped in internal energy, appeared as if by teleportation behind the bear’s head. With a crisp sound, it pierced straight through the bear’s skull.

"Roar—"

The mid-ranked golden-maned berserk bear let out a mournful howl and collapsed. If the flying dagger had only pierced its skull, it would not have been enough to kill such a powerful beast in one blow.

The terror lay not only in the speed of the dagger, but in the internal energy it contained. As it entered the bear’s head, the Nine Yang Divine Skill’s energy exploded, completely destroying its brain in an instant!

Ke Bei stared at the fallen beast, stunned. He hadn’t expected the Little Li Flying Dagger to be so formidable.

Before, he had used brute force to throw the dagger; this time, he simply guided the Nine Yang Divine Skill’s energy along a special path, without using the strength of his muscles.

"This—this speed is unbelievable!"

Ke Bei’s mouth dropped open. The dagger’s speed, at the moment of release, had reached at least three times the speed of sound!

"Little Li Flying Dagger—never misses! Now I finally understand!"

"With such speed, who could possibly dodge it?"
