Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 422 - 397: Heartache

He stood up, coldly scanning around.

Countless bits of information flooded into his mind.

In the superhuman state, his five senses, including perception, were extremely keen.

Information previously ignored was meticulously processed in this state.

Every subtle sound, every faint odor, and the sensation of being watched, all fell within his senses.

He immediately stopped the superhuman state.

He could feel that the Faith Value was nearly exhausted.

Then he pressed his toe to the ground.

Leaving a deep pit at the spot, his massive figure, like teleportation, crossed a distance of thirty to forty meters in a single step. After taking three consecutive steps, he leaped fiercely with both legs, soaring toward a nearby building.

On the twenty-fifth floor, six barbarians who were originally observing the battle saw Chen Shouyi spring out from the smoke and their hearts shook tremendously, their expressions changing drastically.

"Not good, that lord failed, run quickly!" A barbarian came to his senses, roaring loudly.

Saying this, he immediately turned and fled frantically.

...

Chen Shouyi flew twenty meters through the air.

With a "boom".

The wall between the twelfth and thirteenth floors suddenly caved in significantly, nearly bursting open with a hole. Chen Shouyi’s fingers dug deeply into the wall, and then with a strong push of his hand, his body rose another ten meters.

After several consecutive jumps.

With a "crash", the window shattered.

A huge figure smashed through the window.

The story is long, but in reality, it took only a second or two from when the barbarians discovered Chen Shouyi to him entering here.

He looked at the deep and shallow footprints on the ground and the walls shattered in panic, letting out a cold laugh: "Trying to escape!"

He listened carefully to the sounds around.

Suddenly, he stomped heavily, with a "boom", the floor collapsed into a big hole, and his body fell along with the concrete to the next level. Before his feet fully touched the ground, a sword light like a startling rainbow thrust toward Chen Shouyi’s lower back.

His face turned cold, without even looking, he reached out and pinched the sword edge, then casually sent it away.

The barbarian’s face, just showing excitement at getting the upper hand, suddenly felt a mountain-like force transmitted from the sword hilt, crushing his strength at once.

With a "thud".

The sword hilt like lightning pierced through the barbarian’s chest, coming out from the back, running through front and back.

As Chen Shouyi landed, he grabbed the barbarian’s throat, yanking out the trachea along with the spine, nearly tearing the entire throat apart.

Not far away, a barbarian who was about to come over and coordinate an attack saw this scene and was instantly scared out of his wits.

He hurriedly turned to flee, but unfortunately couldn’t escape, and was caught by Chen Shouyi in one step.

His huge palm lightly patted, accompanied by a creepy crunch, the smashed head was forcefully squeezed into the chest cavity, causing the whole chest to swell.

After the Giant Transformation, his strength was terrifyingly powerful; these barbarians in front of Chen Shouyi were like kindergartners facing a robust adult man, powerless to resist.

"There must be more... judging by the footprints, definitely not just two." Chen Shouyi scanned the area, then looked at the shattered window nearby.

He quickly moved to the window.

Three barbarians could be seen jumping onto the opposite rooftop, desperately fleeing.

A cold smile flashed across his face.

He kicked with both feet, swiftly jumping over.

With a "boom".

A large section of the rooftop collapsed.

If not for rolling desperately upon landing to discharge force, with his nearly seven hundred kilograms weight, he would have likely fallen to the next floor.

The barbarians were not stupid; upon discovering the pursuer behind, they immediately dispersed to escape.

Chen Shouyi had no choice but to chase one of them.

One pursued and one fled, jumping over more than ten buildings, after half a minute, Chen Shouyi finally caught up to the barbarian, who despaired, roared angrily, turned and drew his sword to charge at Chen Shouyi.

Chen Shouyi didn’t dodge nor avoid; before the sword touched his body, he twisted and kicked to explode the head.

He irritably glanced around; the remaining barbarians had already fled without a trace.

The city is three-dimensional, more complex than a forest, with high-rises, ground, and underground forming a complicated space; once a certain distance is escaped, even he has no way to find them.

"They sure ran fast!" He looked at the bloodstains on his instep, stamped his foot, and the bloodstains were promptly shaken off: "Killed three; estimating the escaped ones to be about the same number, might as well take what little victory this is."

He quickly restored his form.

His body went limp, a sense of exhaustion hit him, almost making him sit down.

After regaining some strength.

He descended from the building, returned to the original spot, and found that the area around the giant’s corpse had been cordoned off by soldiers.

The bodies of two military martial artists were being carried by soldiers onto a flatbed tricycle.

Two bodies had already been placed on the tricycle, belonging to the two armored vehicle operators.

Apparently, they were also sacrificed in the previous attack.

Not long ago, he was still chatting with them, they were living people, but in the blink of an eye, they had turned into corpses.

Life and death are no more unpredictable than this!

Chen Shouyi withdrew his gaze, expelling these melancholic emotions from his mind.

Living in this world, who can guarantee absolute safety; if in the previous battle, he was slightly careless, he too would be among these corpses.

The atmosphere among soldiers was sorrowful, yet carried a tinge of excitement, quite complex.

"Chief Consultant, you’re back!" A keen-eyed martial artist spotted Chen Shouyi and said softly.

The surroundings instantly became silent.

Strength at such a level no longer feels approachable but rather terrifying.

Chen Shouyi didn’t mind, he was used to it, and asked, "Has anyone seen my sword?"

"Chief...Chief Consultant, it’s been found." Immediately, a surviving military martial artist holding Chen Shouyi’s sword delivered it with reverence: "This is your sword!"

Chen Shouyi took the sword and said, "Oh, thank you."

"No, it’s us who should thank you!" The martial artist said solemnly, then with great tact added, "Your clothing is torn; if you don’t mind, how about wearing mine?"

He quickly began to undress.

Chen Shouyi didn’t hesitate, took the clothes, and changed right on the spot.

It’s still broad daylight, running back naked on such a street feels somewhat disgraceful.

...

Afterwards, Chen Shouyi didn’t continue with the luring and killing.

After this slaughter, barbarians in this area probably wouldn’t dare to act for a while.

He requested five boxes of single-soldier rations and headed to the air-raid shelter.

He casually tore open a box and devoured voraciously; after eating all five boxes in one go, the hunger in his stomach slowly subsided.

He hesitated in his mind for a long while, then gritted his teeth and opened the attribute panel.

"Faith Value: 2.24"

The glaring numbers struck him like lightning, causing him to stop in his tracks, staring at the 2.24 Faith Value, feeling as if he’d just gambled away billions, only sensing a distressing block in his chest.

Previously, it was almost twenty points.

In a snap, nearly all was spent.

That damned giant.

Deserved complete destruction!
