Chapter 13: Unexpected enemy

Qin Hao advanced rapidly, his figure soon appearing on a small building not far from the Bloodthirsty Tank group.

From the surrounding architecture, it could be seen that this area was likely a wealthy residential villa complex before the Great Nirvana.

Buildings were sparse, each a detached villa, with trees and greenery everywhere, now grown into small thickets.

However, there were no other monsters in the vicinity.

Packs of Elementary Wargod-level beasts could run rampant in a small county, and surrounding monsters naturally avoided them.

After observing the surroundings, Qin Hao revealed himself directly, long blade in hand, and charged towards the group of Bloodthirsty Tanks.

Although a sneak attack would have been simpler, Qin Hao's objective was not merely slaughter; it was more about training, exploring his limits, and putting more pressure on himself.

Moreover, Qin Hao did not take this group of Elementary Wargod-level Bloodthirsty Tanks seriously.

After all, in the original work, Luo Feng successfully passed his B-level assessment even when facing dozens of Elementary Wargods.

Now, Qin Hao's strength was greater than Luo Feng's during his assessment, so he felt no fear facing Elementary Wargods.

Upon seeing the human charging towards them, the Bloodthirsty Tanks seemed startled, snorting hot air from their nostrils as they furiously charged at Qin Hao.

Bloodthirsty Tanks are one of the most troublesome monsters among Elementary Wargods, due to their frenzy and bloodlust when attacking, as well as their powerful defense.

Qin Hao was not in a hurry to end the battle; instead, he constantly dodged and weaved among the Bloodthirsty Tanks, his long blade continuously striking, each move of the Ninefold Thunderblade being put into practical use.

Although the slaughter in the small town earlier was wanton, the training it provided was very limited.

The pressure brought by the Bloodthirsty Tanks, as Elementary Wargods, made Qin Hao feel a sense of excitement.

The practical application of each move and form of the first three stages of the Ninefold Thunderblade became smoother, and his overall comprehension of blade techniques continuously improved.

As an ultimate secret manual, the Ninefold Thunderblade was primarily noted for its top-tier force exertion techniques.

Even in the original work, more emphasis was placed on the increased force exertion level with each stage advancement.

However, as the secret manual of Thunder God, a peak global powerhouse, the exposition of blade techniques within it was the key.

The blade techniques practiced with each stage, and the comprehension of the blade within each blade technique, were also top-tier.

At this moment, Qin Hao, engaged in battle, seemed to transform into a dancer on the blade's edge; each dodge, each strike, each attack became more graceful, and the release of power became smoother.

"Excellent, this is the feeling. Martial artists can only achieve greater improvement through actual combat."

As the battle continued, Qin Hao felt his control over the micro-level movement technique becoming more proficient, his perception of monster attacks becoming sharper, and the connection between each move and form becoming smoother.

After gradually adapting to the rhythm of the battle, Qin Hao's attacks began to turn fierce.

However, the Bloodthirsty Tanks' defensive capabilities lived up to their reputation; although each attack left significant wounds on the Bloodthirsty Tanks, they did not inflict fatal damage.

Furthermore, as the wounds accumulated, the Bloodthirsty Tanks' eyes gradually turned red, and they began to go berserk.

With more than ten Wargods attacking madly, Qin Hao also began to feel a little pressure.

However, the greater the pressure, the more excited Qin Hao felt.

Currently, Qin Hao could be said to be quite unique among martial artists.

Most martial artists entering the Wilderness Area were very cautious and sought quick resolutions, but Qin Hao continuously prolonged the battle.

During the first ten minutes or so of combat, Qin Hao was completely engrossed in the fight and did not notice the increasing number of monsters around him.

Some martial artists were even drawn to the scene.

"Which force does that young man belong to? He's so at ease surrounded by Elementary Wargods."

"He must be a genius cultivated by a major power."

"Why would a genius come to a small county like 0201 County without any escorts around him?"

"Look, that young man is about to win!"

Although many martial artists were observing Qin Hao's battle from afar, no team went forward.

Most of the martial artists who came to 0201 County were part of teams that included Wargods, but they were only Elementary Wargods, with relatively limited strength.

After sensing the changes in his surroundings, Qin Hao also began to accelerate the pace of the battle, the speed of his long blade suddenly increasing, and his overall movement speed rapidly quickening.

Under the enhancement of the Ninefold Thunderblade's third stage, Qin Hao's strength and speed could rival that of a High-level Wargod.

Although the berserk Bloodthirsty Tanks' attacks became stronger, for Qin Hao, resolving them was still very quick.

Qin Hao's figure moved rapidly, like a ghost, swiftly passing through the Bloodthirsty Tanks.

During his traversal, the techniques of his long blade constantly shifted.

Each strike slashed across a Bloodthirsty Tank's throat, eyes, or other weak points, or directly severed their Achilles tendons, leaving them unable to move.

Soon, more than ten Bloodthirsty Tanks all fell into pools of blood, losing their lives.

Having dealt with all the Bloodthirsty Tanks, Qin Hao did not linger; his figure swiftly vanished from his original position, plunging into the surrounding monster horde.

He had not intended to bother with these Soldier-level beasts, but since they had gathered, there was no need for them to live.

In just ten minutes, all hundreds of Soldier-level monsters in the vicinity were slaughtered by Qin Hao.

After the slaughter, Qin Hao couldn't help but quickly scan his surroundings, the indifference in his eyes sending a chill down the spines of the martial artists watching from afar.

"That killing god."

After this thought surfaced, the surrounding martial artists quickly retreated, not daring to linger.

A being capable of eliminating over ten Wargods and hundreds of Soldier-level beasts without sustaining any injuries was not someone they could provoke.

After everyone left, Qin Hao quickly began to harvest his spoils of victory.

More than ten Bloodthirsty Tanks and hundreds of High-level Soldier beasts represented a significant fortune for Qin Hao.

After collecting the monster materials, Qin Hao continued to search for his next target.

During his earlier observation, Qin Hao had seen quite a few Wargod-level monsters, including some Intermediate Wargods and High-level Wargods.

Qin Hao's goal for these past few days was to engage in combat with the surrounding Wargod-level monsters, and his next target was an Intermediate Wargod nearby.

After a day of combat, Qin Hao finally rested in a large building in the evening.

After a day of fighting, aside from the Bloodthirsty Tanks at the beginning, Qin Hao's only other gain was one Intermediate Wargod.

Although he had fought many other Wargods, they all chose to flee at critical moments.

"It seems I'll need to prepare some trackers next time."

After several such experiences, Qin Hao reflected.

He inherently had an advantage in speed, but he was not familiar with the surrounding environment, and the Wilderness Area itself was very complex, with various monsters appearing at any time, making it difficult for Qin Hao to continuously pursue a single one.

The only Intermediate Wargod he managed to kill was a Black Turtle, which had no advantage in speed, allowing Qin Hao to defeat it.

After a full day of combat, Qin Hao was somewhat exhausted.

After setting up alert measures, he began to prepare for rest.

"Hmm, someone's approaching."

As soon as he lay down, Qin Hao sensed someone arriving nearby.

It was a four-person martial artist team, and all were Wargod-level.

Qin Hao's five senses were already very keen, and after breaking through to Intermediate Wargod, his perception of the surrounding environment further improved.

"It seems they're coming for me."

Qin Hao quickly made a judgment based on the four individuals' movements; their approach was very cautious, and they bypassed Qin Hao's numerous alerts.

It was clearly planned, not an accidental intrusion.

Qin Hao quietly drew his long blade, watching the direction of the door with full vigilance.

"Bang!" With a loud crash, the door was directly broken open, and a flashbang was thrown inside.

Seeing the flashbang, Qin Hao reacted swiftly, directly leaping out of a nearby window.
