Swallowing the Starry Sky Starts with a Sword

Chapter 3 Snow and Knife
It is said that Zhou An's original secret method of "The Seven Lights of Thunder" can increase a warrior's strength several times, causing his speed and strength to soar!
Coupled with the sharp sword skills honed through killing, although his physical strength is only at the middle-level general level, his strength is considered top-notch among the high-level generals.

But these.
Not enough to fight against lord-level monsters!

"Mr. Zhou An, you are not from the military system, but are here to assist the garrison base. According to the regulations, in desperate situations, you warriors can choose to evacuate the base."

A serious voice came from the headset.

Warriors are the elite of mankind, and every general-level warrior is a valuable force for each country, especially top generals like Zhou An, whose combat power is currently ranked in the top thousand or even hundreds in the world.

Even the five major countries cherish them extremely and are reluctant to lose any of them.

"what about you?"

Zhou An asked, but there was a brief silence in the headset.

Top generals can easily break through, but ordinary army soldiers are not even warriors and can only hold on in the base.

Thousands of beast soldiers and even many beast generals are wreaking havoc on the base. Even if reinforcements and fighter planes from the base city arrive, there will probably not be many survivors by then.

"You won't retreat, and neither will I."

Zhou An raised his head slightly and looked at the quasi-lord giant wolf a thousand meters away. The blood-red eyes of the giant wolf seemed to be the dim light of a ghost. It paced slowly towards the base: "That beast has set its sights on me. It is waiting, waiting for its prey to leave its back."

"How many means does the base have to threaten lord-level monsters?"

A quick but sonorous answer came from the headset: "Four second-level red series missiles can severely damage or kill high-level beast generals. They pose a certain threat to the primary lord level."

"Aim at it and fire it all. Leave the rest to me."

call!
On the battlefield, no matter whether it was the beast soldier-level or beast general-level monsters, or the soldiers and warriors who were defending their positions, they all couldn't help but cast their eyes into the air.

Amid a huge roar, four consecutive blazing streams of light shot up into the sky from the center of the base, like the halberds of gods. After briefly drawing an arc in the air, they blasted towards a part of the battlefield at an astonishing speed.

That's where the giant wolf is.

too fast.

A missile that exceeded the speed of sound several times came through the air. Even though the quasi-lord wolf had a severe sense of crisis and dodged continuously, it could not escape the tracking and lock.

boom!
The earth shook violently for a moment. The terrible shock wave shattered the internal organs of the beast-soldier-level monsters within a diameter of 100 meters. Most of the monsters within several hundred meters were paralyzed, and the explosion filled the air.

In the chaos, a black afterimage rushed straight into the battlefield with an unstoppable attitude!

Ouch~!

The Red-Eyed Wolf Lord roared fiercely, his voice even becoming extremely sharp. Even though he had intelligence close to that of a human, this newly promoted monster lord still did not expect the human base to have such a terrible back-up plan.

Its abdomen was covered in blood, its left front paw was also injured, and its head was almost hit. The shock wave from the explosion made its hearing and vision blurred.

It shook its head and tried to disperse the smoke with its front paws.

bass!
A figure broke through the smoke and dust, but before the person arrived, the dull black knife light was already coming towards him. The terrifying knife light seemed to split even the air in half!
It was the human prey. The prey actually dared to come to the door.

Front paws to block!

Even if a lord-level monster suffered serious injuries, its reaction speed was still far superior to that of a human warrior, enough to deal with attacks of this level.

Zhou An put aside all distracting thoughts, and his mind was focused. The strength in every part of his body was extremely clear, like a bright mirror.

When the Red-Eyed Wolf Lord raised his claws, his body trembled violently.

It was as if a bolt of lightning flashed across the body's surface, and the bones, muscles, and even countless cells suddenly burst out and squeezed out a new wave of power, which was integrated into the sword-swinging action.

The lightning flashed again! Flashed again!
In just a moment, six waves of body explosions occurred continuously, and six new powers were integrated into this sword in a very short interval!

The dull black blade light, its power surged, and its speed turned into a streak of black light, slashing towards the throat of the Red-Eyed Wolf Lord before he could raise his claws.

scoff~~~
At the moment of life and death, the Red-Eyed Wolf Lord subconsciously lowered his head and used his jaw to block the knife. The horrifying knife light fiercely hit the lord's fur, cutting through the fur and muscles with difficulty, leaving a terrible wound.

"pity."

Zhou An missed his target with his knife and retreated more than ten meters away. The muscles in his right wrist, right shoulder, and other parts of his body began to ache violently, with a feeling of extreme soreness and astringency as if he were overdrawn.

His self-created "Thunder Seven Stars" was inspired by the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade of Thor. The body continuously bursts out multiple forces into one movement, thus gaining amazing explosive power and speed.

But Thor had been learning martial arts since he was young before the Cataclysm, and had a profound martial arts foundation and talent, so he was able to create the perfect Nine-Layer Thunder Blade.

But even though Zhou An put all his efforts into creating "The Seven Lights of Thunder", he over-strained his body, leaving many hidden injuries and almost exhausting his potential for cultivation.

It has been a long time since he last unleashed the highest level of the Seven Lights of Thunder.

Not to mention the Seven Stars, he had only unleashed Six Stars just now, and many of the hidden injuries in his body had already reacted.

One Yao represents sixty percent of the power.

The six stars, plus the original 100% strength, is 4.6 times the explosive power!

Zhou An is considered a mid-level general. Under the unleashing of the Six Stars Secret Technique, his explosive power has reached the threshold of a low-level war god, which is why he was able to break through the defense of the Red-Eyed Wolf Lord.

"Woo."

The Red-Eyed Wolf Lord had an injured jaw and couldn't even roar. He could only make a low sound from his throat. He stared at Zhou An with bloodshot eyes and pounced on him!
Pounce and use claws.

Dodge and draw your sword.

The strength and speed of both sides reached terrifying levels, and their fighting skills were close to the essence of killing.

A simple confrontation resulted in a large amount of blood and a broken limb.

Zhou An broke his left arm and the red-eyed wolf lost one eye.

"Even a person with a great body movement skill at the subtle level can't dodge it?"

Zhou An felt that his body was about to be broken by the hidden injuries. A warrior would encounter life-and-death crises thousands of times. This was his first confrontation with a lord-level monster.

Maybe it will be the last time.

A mid-level general, the gap between him and the lord monster is too big.

Even if "The Seven Lights of Thunder" made up for some of the gap.

A man and a beast confronted each other.

The blind red-eyed wolf lord was completely aroused to his ferocity. Zhou An felt that he would definitely die in the next confrontation.

A cold and refreshing feeling falls on the face.

"Snow?"

"Snowing?"

Zhou An looked up at the moon and blinked. Scattered snowflakes were falling in the moonlight, like a dream.

At this moment, he suddenly relaxed.

Since embarking on the path of a warrior, he has been tempered through killing, struggling between life and death, not only fighting against monsters, but also fighting against his own fear and weakness.

A sword is the heart of a warrior.

Even death cannot erase the sharpness of the sword.

Have no fear in life, have no fear in death.

Only my heart has always been unique.

"woo"

The Red-Eyed Wolf Lord finally found an opportunity. The moment Zhou An relaxed, he suddenly pounced and pierced the target with his claws.

Qiyao!

Seven lightning bolts, like ripples in a mirror, condensed into one.

This was the most powerful sword strike Zhou An had ever made in his life. In this life, he was no longer afraid of life or death, no longer afraid of shackles. It was the epitome of Zhou An's martial arts throughout his life.

The next moment, the Red-Eyed Wolf Lord saw the last light in his life, the light of a knife reflecting the moonlight and snowflakes.

puff!

Blood splattered and the huge beast fell to the ground.

Staggering, Zhou An sat down cross-legged and looked up at the snow-covered night scene.

A large number of monsters around were scattered, their lords were killed, and the herd finally collapsed under the barrage of firepower, but no monster dared to approach here because even their king was killed here.

"Mr. Zhou An! Mr. Zhou An!"

There seemed to be an anxious voice shouting something in the headset, and there was a hot liquid flowing in the chest.

"My heart is like a knife. It's also like a dream."

Zhou An leaned on his sword and closed his eyes, as if he was dreaming of a warrior whose life was like a sword. He fell asleep under the night sky, feeling relaxed and at ease.
