Enraged by the blow, the Beast King slammed its paws at Zhang Lin with incredible speed and force. For a moment, Zhang Lin didn't even have time to pull out his sword. He used [Pioneer] to escape and reappeared hundreds of meters away in the next second.
The Beast King was stunned for a moment.
It had never seen the ability to teleport before...
But it was not disappointed, because it had not gained nothing.
Zhang Lin's knife was still stuck in its back.
The Beast King understands humans very well. If humans lose their weapons, their combat power will be greatly reduced, especially weapons with strange powers.
The Miao sword was embedded in its flesh, and a continuous stream of Netherworld power was spreading into its body, making the Beast King feel extremely uncomfortable.
So it controlled the muscle contraction and squeezed the Miao knife out directly.
The Miao sword flew through the air.
Zhang Lin was several hundred meters away.
The Beast King slammed its palm down on the Miao sword. With its power, the Miao sword could fly thousands of meters away with this strike.
It was somewhat smug.
The Miao sword flew too fast; even if this human could teleport, he simply couldn't catch it.
It refused to believe that, without its weapons, this tiny human could pose any danger to it.
"Sword... wrong, bring the saber!"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lin reached out his hand towards the Miao sword that was flying further and further away, and shouted loudly. The Miao sword, which had already flown several hundred meters away, actually came back.
Zhang Lin initially intended to use his [Control] ability to take the Miao sword into his own hands, but then he thought, why bother taking it? So, he changed his mind, and the Miao sword instantly changed direction, flying straight towards the Beast King.
Moreover, the target was aimed directly at the Beast King's eyes.
The Beast King was startled. Faced with the suddenly flying Miao sword, it panicked. It had already experienced the terror of the Miao sword; if it were to be pierced in the eye...
The consequences would be unimaginable!
So the Beast King directly met the flying Miao knife with his own two paws, slapping it away with one blow.
Zhang Lin, naturally, once again controlled the Miao sword, which flew back again.
Jin Sina carried her warhammer, wanting to go back and help Zhang Lin. She knew she couldn't help much, but for some reason, she just couldn't bear to see Zhang Lin face the enemy alone.
Or perhaps Pan Jiaxuan used her abilities too aggressively.
Or perhaps emotions are most easily generated during battle.
Unbeknownst to Zhang Lin, Jin Sina's feelings for him had changed drastically.
But Jin Sina, who was determined to help Zhang Lin even at the cost of her life, stopped in her tracks before she even got close.
She looked up at Zhang Linren standing atop a gigantic, extraordinary creature's corpse, hundreds of meters away from the Beast King, his Miao sword flying through the air...
"Sword Immortal?"
"No, it's the Sword Immortal..."
The Beast King was completely held back by Zhang Lin for a time, and Zhang Lin was not in any danger.
The Miao sword flew back and forth. Whenever the Beast King tried to get close to Zhang Lin, the Miao sword would stab at its vital points. Even if it knocked the Miao sword away, before it could get close to Zhang Lin, Zhang Lin would use [Pioneer] to create distance again.
Then the Miao sword flew in again.
The Beast King is not afraid of ordinary swords or blades. Even if it is stabbed in the eye, it is not afraid because it has a powerful regenerative ability.
It was willing to pay the price of temporarily sacrificing one of its eyes to get closer to Zhang Lin.
But the Miao sword carries the power of the netherworld.
This made the Beast King very wary.
And Zhang Lin...
He finally experienced what it felt like to be a sword immortal. He couldn't take someone's head from a thousand miles away, but he could manage within a kilometer.
Zhang Lin had previously considered using a sword... uh, a knife to fight, but he was so used to killing people that he had never tried it.
The combination of the abilities 【Control】 and 【Pioneer】 is simply a divine skill for kiting.
Even the mighty Beast King was now completely powerless against Zhang Lin, posing no threat to his life whatsoever.
Jin Sina stood there stunned for a moment. At that moment, she regained her senses and realized that she had done something stupid.
Zhang Lin alone is enough to deal with the Beast King. If she stays behind, she might inadvertently become a burden to Zhang Lin.
Didn't you see that Xia Xiaonuan and Qiao Ruoxi, as his women, obediently left?
Jin Sina bit her lip and immediately turned to retreat. She couldn't help Zhang Lin, nor could she be a burden to her. However, on the way back, her mind was in turmoil.
"No, why would I risk my life to help him?"
"It would be better if he died, then the city lord and I could be together!"
Jin Sina thought to herself, but the difference was that in the past, the mere thought of the city lord's name would stir her emotions, but now, even just thinking about the city lord's face, she remained as calm as a rock, without any emotional fluctuation.
But at this moment she had no time to analyze her own feelings, because she had to run fast, otherwise if she were surrounded by the beast tide in a little while, she would have to ask Zhang Lin to come and save her.
"Silly woman, it's a good thing you're not completely stupid."
On the other side, seeing that Jin Sina had also successfully escaped, Zhang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. If Jin Sina had continued to be stubborn and refused to leave, he would have had a headache.
Surrounded by a horde of beasts, and with the powerful Beast King present, he couldn't guarantee he could escape with Jin Sina.
Fortunately, Kim Sina had already escaped by then.
Zhang Lin didn't want to waste any more time fighting the Beast King. He seemed to be easily controlling the Beast King, but in reality, he was expending a lot of energy. If he continued to fight the Beast King, he would become the Beast King's food if he became exhausted.
With the ability of [Pioneer], Zhang Lin escaped very quickly, even reaching the mountaintop earlier than most of the Vanguard Army and Hope City warriors.
After a while, the vanguard and the troops from Hope City had all withdrawn.
Next, of course, it's the familiar, old routine.
Minimize casualties, provide aid to the wounded, and assign those still capable of fighting to garrison positions.
"Boss, we lost quite a few men this time. Roughly estimated, at least five hundred, and there are many more with minor and serious injuries." Li Junhao and Qiao Ruoxi, the two logistics personnel, came to report the situation together. Li Junhao reported the casualties, and Qiao Ruoxi continued, "But the results were also very fruitful. When we looked down from the mountain, the number of supernatural creature corpses was at least twice ours. This sneak attack was very successful!"
Despite the considerable number of casualties, Zhang Lin remained unmoved.
A kind heart cannot command an army.
In battle, people will die.
They only consider whether the dead have any value.
With the beast tide approaching, most people will die; it's just a matter of sooner or later.
This resulted in more than twice the casualties among the supernatural beings. These deaths were worthwhile, at least in securing a greater living space for the survivors.
After handling the aftermath of the Vanguard Army and Hope City, Zhang Lin quietly sneaked into Jin Sina's tent.
At this moment, Jin Sina had just taken off her blood-stained trench coat and her T-shirt, leaving her in only her underwear. The same was true for her lower body; her pants, almost soaked in blood, were thrown aside. Her long, straight, jade-like legs, stained with blood, were thus presented before his eyes.
