Chapter 54: Instant Kill of All, Life-Stealing Blade
They truly hadn't expected Zhou Han to be this strong.
So he had been acting all along.
Ridiculous—this group of them were the real prey.
Toyed with in the palm of his hand.
Seeing the situation turning bad, Luo Badao's expression darkened.
There was no point thinking about how strong the opponent was now.
The most urgent thing was to survive the current crisis.
He immediately roared, snapping everyone awake.
"Why are you standing there? Waiting to die? Work together and block it—don't let the sword energy reach us!"
"Use everything you've got, or we're all dead!"
"Supports, give us all shields, now!"
"Damn it, with the strength of the seven of us, I refuse to believe we can't hold it!"
Very quickly, they reacted in a panic.
All kinds of skills were thrown out as if they cost nothing.
The battlefield erupted with multicolored elemental energy.
They used every trick they had, trying to resist the overwhelming pressure brought by Myriad Swords Returning to the Origin.
If they couldn't block it, they would all die without a doubt.
"Block it? A mantis trying to stop a chariot, ants trying to shake a tree—overestimating yourselves."
A cold smile flashed in Zhou Han's eyes.
Since you dared to provoke me, then all of you will be buried here.
Countless sword shadows rained down endlessly upon them.
You might block the first wave—but can you block the second? The third?
The endless torrent of sword shadows drove people into despair.
As expected of the Sword Soul's ultimate move.
Domineering. Unrestrained.
The scene of Myriad Swords Returning to the Origin was overwhelmingly spectacular—cool beyond words.
Wave after wave of sword shadows
completely drowned them.
Screams and muffled groans rang out one after another.
"Such a waste… using Myriad Swords Returning to the Origin to kill this trash really disgraces the skill."
Zhou Han shook his head with a sigh.
He had only wanted to test the power of this ultimate move—nothing more.
When the dust settled, six corpses lay on the ground.
Hm?
Something's off!
Where's the last one?
Zhou Han was slightly surprised that someone had survived such a violent barrage of sword energy.
Looks like they must have had some kind of life-saving equipment.
A revival item or something that negates death.
"Zhou Han, watch out above!"
"Dodge!"
While Zhou Han was thinking,
Han Qinxue and her sister screamed in alarm.
At this moment, Luo Badao was directly above Zhou Han.
A ferocious attack came crashing down.
"You think I'm easy prey? Die!"
"Tiger Strike!"
Holding a large blade emitting a crimson aura, he slashed downward.
The force was terrifying, like a tiger pouncing on its prey.
"Hmph! A sneak attack? Is that all you've got?"
"Wind-Thunder Dance! Let's see how you hit me now!"
Zhou Han directly activated his skill, Wind-Thunder Dance.
A violent whirlwind surged forward.
The immense wind force halted Luo Badao's descent.
His speed dropped by 90% instantly.
He was practically frozen midair.
Only able to descend slowly.
"Th-this… what kind of skill is this?"
Luo Badao's face changed drastically. He had planned to unleash his ultimate killing move.
But now he was stuck in this awkward situation—neither up nor down.
Even moving was incredibly difficult.
His entire body felt like it was moving in slow motion.
"Why… why do you have so many powerful skills?"
Luo Badao shouted in disbelief.
He possessed an S-rank talent, the undisputed number one in Area 123.
Yet he had never seen such terrifying abilities before.
"You want to know? Too bad—I'm not telling you. Die."
Zhou Han's face was cold, his voice carrying bone-chilling indifference.
Without another word, he slashed his sword.
"No… I'm not willing to accept this! I'm the number one of Area 123, I—"
Blood sprayed as his voice was cut off abruptly.
Luo Badao's body collapsed to the ground.
At the same time, system announcements rang out repeatedly across Area 123.
[System Announcement: Player Luo Badao has been killed by player Zhou Han from Area 666.]
[System Announcement: Player Ling Tian has been killed by player Zhou Han from Area 666.]
[System Announcement: Player Ye Liangchen has been killed by player Zhou Han from Area 666.]
…
Seven announcements echoed in the minds of all players in Area 123.
And the interval between them was extremely short.
Which meant the seven of them had died almost simultaneously.
In an instant, everyone was stunned.
Just who exactly was Zhou Han?
This was way too insane!
"Is the system bugged? How could Zhou Han be this strong? Killing seven people in a row—impossible!"
"Terrifying! Even Brother Badao was killed. It's a complete wipeout!"
"He's basically a killing god! If we ever run into people from Area 666 again, better take a detour—what if we run into Zhou Han?"
"I'm the opposite. If regions merge in the future, I'm going straight to join Zhou Han."
"With all the level 10+ players dead, our region's strength has dropped massively. Haha, I'm the new king now—I should thank Zhou Han!"
…
If Zhou Han knew someone in Area 123 was actually thanking him, who knows how he'd react.
"Well? Wasn't that too cool? Stunned, aren't you?"
Seeing the sisters still standing there dumbfounded, Zhou Han tilted his head and teased them.
"Yes, too cool! I've never seen anything this cool."
"Yeah, your ultimate move—with all those sword shadows filling the sky—it was unbelievably awesome."
The sisters sighed in amazement.
The effect of Myriad Swords Returning to the Origin was far beyond any movie special effects they had ever seen.
It was truly breathtaking.
Zhou Han's smiling face instantly stiffened.
So they were praising the skill for being cool?
He thought they were praising how handsome he was!
Shaking his head, he felt speechless.
Next came the exciting part—
Looting the spoils of war.
[You obtained Golden-grade Shadow Battle Boots.]
[You obtained Silver-grade Mithril Belt.]
[You obtained Silver-grade Violet Flame Jade Pendant.]
…
"Are these really the elites of Area 123? That's pretty shabby."
Zhou Han checked for a long time.
Aside from one piece of golden-grade equipment, everything else was silver-grade.
He even began to doubt their identities.
"Hopefully he has something good on him… otherwise this was a waste."
Zhou Han shifted his gaze to Luo Badao's corpse.
After all, he was the leader of the group, so his strength was definitely decent.
And the fact that he survived the damage from Myriad Swords Returning to the Origin
meant there was something unusual about him.
Sure enough, he pulled out two pieces of golden-grade equipment right away.
But Zhou Han had no interest in golden-grade gear anymore and tossed them aside.
There were two items left.
A weapon and a card.
He looked at the weapon first.
It was a large blade, shimmering with a silver-purple glow.
Clearly no ordinary item, carrying a mysterious aura.
[You have obtained Life-Stealing Blade – Siming. Do you want to view its attributes?]
Zhou Han immediately chose to view it.
