51: Dragon Scales Protect You! High-Level Floating Corpse: Something's Wrong with You!

Lu Sheng's eyes were cold, and a faint killing intent emanated from his body, making people dare not approach him easily.

He pulled the twin fiends spear, which was lodged in the High-Level Floating Corpse's eye socket, out with one hand. The spear shaft vibrated, shaking off black blood.

Under the horrified gazes of the surrounding soldiers, Lu Sheng's mind stirred.

The High-Level Floating Corpse, over three meters tall and resembling a small giant, disappeared into thin air after a barely perceptible spatial distortion.

"Hiss—"

A young soldier gasped, his pupils constricted, and his mouth slightly agape. He wanted to say something but found his throat seemed to be tightly clutched by an invisible hand, unable to utter a single word.

Is this the method of a Spirit Source User?

It's simply miraculous!

"Leave this to me," Lu Sheng said coldly to the soldier squad leader behind him without turning his head. "You go support the front; the pressure there is greater."

The squad leader looked at the corpse that had instantly disappeared from the deck, then at Lu Sheng's reliable back, which was like a mountain. His Adam's apple bobbed violently.

"Pfft!"

Lu Sheng, with a backhand thrust of his spear, once again accurately pierced the head of a High-Level Floating Corpse attempting a sneak attack from the other side, nailing it to the deck.

[Killed High-Level Floating Corpse, energy points +10!]

[Spirit Source User: Level 4 (10/600)]

He held the spear with one hand, like waving a piece of straw, and flung the several-hundred-pound corpse away, knocking down two of its kind that had just climbed up behind it.

He flicked the black blood from the spear tip and said faintly, "Go ahead, don't worry. I'm here!"

One sentence, one action.

That invincible confidence, as if it could punch a hole in the sky, instantly dispelled all fear from the soldiers' hearts!

The squad leader no longer hesitated. He nodded heavily, straightened his chest, and saluted Lu Sheng with an incredibly standard military salute.

Immediately, filled with surging passion and reverence, he led his subordinates to the front battlefield, his roar echoing across the deck: "Brothers! Let's go! We're going to support the front! The rear is guarded by a God of War!"

As the soldiers retreated, the vast rear deck of the battleship completely became Lu Sheng's exclusive hunting ground.

He faced the remaining dozen or so High-Level Floating Corpses alone, each comparable to a Level 3 Spirit Source User, and the curve of his lips grew more cruel.

"Come on, all of you, I'm in a hurry."

"Roar!"

As if enraged by this extreme contempt, the remaining High-Level Floating Corpses let out a roar and lunged at Lu Sheng simultaneously from all directions!

Lu Sheng moved.

The twin fiends spear in his hand seemed to come alive, transforming into streaks of black lightning that devoured life!

Each thrust brought a sharp air blast!

Each sweep whipped up a terrifying gust of wind capable of tearing steel!

"Pfft!"

[Killed High-Level Floating Corpse, energy points +10!]

[Spirit Source User: Level 4 (15/600)]

"Pfft! Pfft!"

[Killed High-Level Floating Corpse, energy points +10!]

[Spirit Source User: Level 4 (20/600)]

In his mind, messages constantly appeared.

The energy points on the system panel soared at a breathtaking speed.

Lu Sheng was like a tireless killing machine; every spear thrust represented the end of a life and the increment of a number.

However, the siege of a dozen High-Level Floating Corpses was no child's play after all.

A Floating Corpses, incredibly fast, ghost-like, bypassed the blockade of the spear's glow under the cover of its companions. Its sharp bone claws, gleaming with dark green light, carried a vicious wind that tore through the air, fiercely clawing at Lu Sheng's chest!

Any Level 4 Spirit Source Practitioner of the same rank, facing this fatal blow capable of disembowelment, would have no choice but to dodge!

But Lu Sheng neither dodged nor avoided.

"Rip—!"

A crisp sound of tearing cloth.

Lu Sheng's clothes on his chest were instantly shredded by the sharp claws.

However, the expected scene of blood and gore did not appear.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"

A sound like fingernails scratching on a blackboard rang out!

Beneath the sharp claws was a layer of fine, tough, golden-glowing Dragon Scales!

Those terrifying sharp claws, capable of tearing through steel plates, only left a shallow white mark on the Dragon Scales!

High-Level Floating Corpse: "???"

A very human look of astonishment flashed in the High-Level Floating Corpse's murky eyes.

Its simple mind, driven by killing instinct, seemed completely unable to comprehend why its full-power strike couldn't even scratch the skin of the human before it.

In a flash of lightning, Lu Sheng smiled cruelly.

"My turn."

He still held the twin fiends spear in his left hand, sweeping it like a python, sending another Floating Corpses that lunged from the side, along with half of the ship's railing, flying away, maintaining the defensive line.

At the same time, his right arm was instantly covered in sinister golden Dragon Scales, and his five fingers transformed into Dragon Claw gleaming with chilling light amidst a 'crunching' sound!

His right hand, with its Dragon Claw activated, carried a terrifying force of 2,100 jin, like a red-hot iron clamp, striking first and grabbing the head of the High-Level Floating Corpse before him!

"Crack!"

Like crushing a ripe watermelon.

That incredibly hard skull, which even rifle bullets couldn't easily penetrate, shattered under the Dragon Claw!

Red and white matter splattered everywhere.

Lu Sheng expressionlessly shook off the filth from his hand, his cold, emotionless eyes sweeping over the remaining Floating Corpsess, whose movements had momentarily stiffened, intimidated by this bloody scene.

The subsequent battle became a one-sided slaughter.

Lu Sheng's left hand wielded the long spear like a dragon, and his right hand, with Dragon Claw like hooks, stirred up a storm of flesh and blood among the Floating Corpsess.

Every spear thrust brought a Floating Corpses down!

Every claw strike shattered a skull!

In less than ten minutes.

More than a dozen High-Level Floating Corpses, each capable of inflicting devastating damage on ordinary defensive zones, were slaughtered by him alone!

Corpses lay everywhere on the deck, and black blood flowed into small streams.

And Lu Sheng stood amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, bathed in gore, yet completely unharmed, like an undefeated demon god returned from hell.

[energy points: 520]

[Spirit Source User: Level 4 (85/600)]

Lu Sheng glanced at the system panel, satisfied.

While maintaining vigilance, he quickly collected all the High-Level Floating Corpses into his storage space in batches, then, with a thought, threw them all into the myriad things furnace!

[Ding! Successfully refined High-Level Floating Corpse, obtained Low-Level spirit source crystal core x1!]

[Ding! Successfully refined High-Level Floating Corpse...]

Within the storage space, a dozen or so crystal cores radiating pure spirit source instantly appeared.

"Indeed, war profiteering is the fastest way to get rich," Lu Sheng thought to himself.

Having dealt with all threats, he stood at the stern of the ship, facing the bloody sea breeze, his gaze once again cast towards the endless Corpse Tide in the distance.

In his heart, a hint of anticipation even arose.

He hoped that more clueless experience packs would emerge from under the water.

Just then!

A sudden change occurred!

"Screech—!!!!!"

An indescribable shriek, as if it could directly penetrate the soul and tear apart the spirit, suddenly came from the core area of the front battlefield, instantly echoing throughout the entire sea!

"Ugh!"

Even Lu Sheng felt as if a red-hot steel needle had been violently stabbed into his brain. The intense pain made his vision go black, and his body swayed uncontrollably.

He immediately mobilized the surging spirit source within his body to protect his mind, barely steadying himself, but his expression had become solemn!

This is bad! Could it be that Leader-level Floating Corpse!

Lu Sheng instantly realized that this was by no means an ordinary sonic attack, but a large-scale, indiscriminate mental shock that covered the entire vanguard!

The ordinary soldiers and low-level Spirit Source Users on the front battlefield, he feared... He no longer hesitated, picked up the twin fiends spear, and, moving like lightning, rushed towards the front battlefield deck from where the shriek originated!

When he rounded the corner, the moment the scene of the front battlefield came into view, even with Lu Sheng's iron will, his pupils couldn't help but contract sharply!

On the deck, soldiers were everywhere, clutching their heads and wailing in pain.

And Zhou Hai was kneeling on one knee in the center of the deck, blood continuously seeping from his nose and mouth. The flames in his hand were flickering precariously, their light dim.

Opposite him, a humanoid Floating Corpses, not particularly large, even somewhat thin, slowly rose from a pile of corpses.

Its entire body was covered in a strange, Obsidian-like carapace, and in its hand, it held a massive scythe made entirely of twisted spinal bones and shriveled flesh!

It slowly raised its head.

A pair of eyes, devoid of any emotion, purely composed of crimson killing intent, pierced through the chaotic battlefield and locked onto Lu Sheng's gaze, who had just arrived!

P.S.: Hehehe... do you want more updates?
