I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade-Chapter 1424 - 343: This Is Your Test of Me, and My Intimidation Toward You
The Lord of Deception felt that Ogamoto Reiyi was a presence with great potential.
Or rather, he not only had potential, but he also once reached a pinnacle—only for that pinnacle to be unstable and directly blown apart, causing him to fall to his current state.
He believed in what Ogamoto Reiyi said, and although there might be a bit of exaggeration, it didn’t affect the truthfulness of the matter. No matter who it is, when talking about themselves, they tend to add a bit of exaggeration.
Unfortunately, the Lord of Deception trusted Ogamoto Reiyi too much.
It wasn’t just adding a bit; it was complete nonsense.
Lv Xian watched Ogamoto Reiyi expressionlessly. He had a lot of things he wanted to say, like seeing how the other’s clone was, but he finally kept it to himself.
He was human, while the two in front of him were zombies.
From a racial affinity point of view, these two were supposed to have a closer relationship, while he, as a human, would usually find it difficult to integrate into their circle.
"Let Ogamoto Reiyi come with us. Our team sincerely invites you to join." The Lord of Deception’s recruitment usually went smoothly, as there were no problems recruiting Lv Xian.
"Thank you, Hammer-san."
Ogamoto Reiyi was very grateful. He wouldn’t tell Lin Fan that he had found the ’King.’ He wanted to communicate well with the ’King,’ to tell him everything he knew, and at the same time, explain Lin Fan’s level of danger. It’s most important to develop himself low-key and enhance his own strength; one must not take risks before becoming very strong, or it would be very dangerous.
He, Ogamoto Reiyi, warned himself in his heart.
Absolutely, he could not be used again. He would use all his wisdom to cultivate the ’King,’ turning him into a truly powerful being, so the ’King’ could twist off Lin Fan’s head and kick it like a ball.
...
Northwest region.
The characteristics of this area were different from other places.
Here it was arid and lacking in water, with vast areas of desert, more sandstorms, and mountains. In the current apocalyptic situation, a sparse population could be one of its few advantages. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
A sparse population meant fewer zombies, much less than in other regions.
Lin Fan was walking in this area, striving to clear out zombies.
The corpse tide he had just encountered was led by a Lord Zombie, forming a Corpse Ball. The dark mass of the Corpse Ball rolled, moving in an unknown direction.
And when Lin Fan encountered such a scene, he naturally wiped out the corpse tide easily—almost without any difficulty.
In the past, when he was clearing zombies, he found it very satisfying to hunt them down strike by strike. But as his strength grew, each sword swing now cleared a large area, depriving him of that previous sensation.
He continued to move forward.
Suddenly.
He heard a commotion ahead, listening carefully, he could hear the groaning of zombies. Normally, this might suggest a gathering of corpse tide, but this noise sounded like someone was in conflict with zombies.
He quickened his pace, rushing to the scene.
He absolutely would not allow living people to get hurt.
Soon, when he arrived at the scene, he saw a man skillfully wielding double swords, moving flexibly through the zombie group, decisively cutting down with each movement. Zombie heads kept being chopped off, and within moments, dozens of zombies fell dead.
"Amazing."
Lin Fan marveled at the scene, praising the other’s prowess.
The force with which the other wielded the sword was heavy, indicating he was a Power Awakener with a high ability level because if the level wasn’t high, he definitely couldn’t display such power.
"Grrr"
In the crowd, there was a Powerful Zombie. Seeing ordinary zombies being so casually hunted, it couldn’t tolerate that, and with its sturdy figure rushed towards the man. In the past, Powerful Zombies posed a great danger to survivors—ordinary human flesh could never contend with a Powerful Zombie.
But at this moment, the man noticed the Powerful Zombie’s movement and didn’t panic at all. Moving nimbly to its rear, he lifted his dual swords and slashed down forcefully, directly severing the Powerful Zombie’s arms. Its thick arms couldn’t withstand such an attack, instantly spilling blood, and within moments, the man swung his blade horizontally, the sharp glint of the blade severing the Powerful Zombie’s head.
The movements were ruthless and bold.
No trace of hesitation.
"Incredible..."
When Lin Fan saw such an impressive scene, he never hesitated to lavish praise. After all, acknowledging someone’s greatness wasn’t difficult.
Moments later.
The small group of zombies was cleared out by the man.
The man sheathed his swords, slinging them onto his back, and prepared to leave.
"Please wait." Lin Fan stepped forward.
The man who was just about to leave stopped at the sound, looking back warily at first, but when he clearly saw Lin Fan’s face, he smiled warmly.
"Lin Fan from the Sunshine Shelter in Huang City."
Upon hearing the man call his name, Lin Fan knew he encountered someone who recognized him, causing him to smile.
"That’s me. I’m sorry I didn’t help you just now. I saw you were impressive and knew you didn’t need my help, so I watched on the sideline." Lin Fan explained his oversight to avoid the other from feeling he had a problem. Solving small issues early on is naturally better.
"Hahaha, no worries, I understand. Your character is trustworthy, it shows on your face." The man laughed as he spoke.
