Lightning flashed through the crowd!
Any monster struck by the lightning fell to the ground, and even if not dead, they were finished off by Wu Tian.
It had been ten minutes since Wu Tian reached the city square.
He had fought his way through without stopping or showing mercy, decisive and resolute like a god of slaughter.
Despite his powerful, sweeping movements, his attacks were incredibly precise, never harming ordinary civilians. Each strike landed perfectly on the monsters.
Blood sprayed, and the monsters' screams were incessant!
Wherever Wu Tian went, he eliminated the monsters, leaving no stragglers.
He pushed forward, gradually reaching the center of the square.
This meant that at least along his path, the monsters had been cleared.
But this was not enough. The square was still in chaos, and many civilians had not yet been rescued.
Wu Tian swung his Thunderclap Sword with all his might, killing monsters as quickly as possible.
If viewed from above the city, the bustling square would be filled with flashes of lightning.
It looked as if the God of Thunder was unleashing his wrath.
In fact, with Wu Tian's current strength, even with many targets, it wouldn't be too difficult to resolve them.
If he went all out, a few of his powerful moves would finish it.
But the key issue was the sheer number of ordinary people. If they couldn't all escape, his powerful moves would be indiscriminate, killing everyone.
Wu Tian fought amidst the blood and carnage, but he wasn't just killing enemies; he was also observing his surroundings.
Given the magnitude of the disaster, the mastermind was likely hidden nearby, observing the entire situation.
If that were the case, he had to capture them.
Otherwise, even if this crisis was resolved, new crises would surely erupt in the future.
With a powerful sweep, brilliant lightning flashed, and Wu Tian killed five or six more monsters.
Only then did he truly enter the central plaza.
This area was a circular, independent square with a large fountain.
At this moment, the fountain was filled with corpses, and the blood, after circulating, was being sprayed out again.
The scene was terrifying, like something out of a horror movie.
The central plaza was virtually devoid of living people, surrounded by monsters on all sides. The monsters had Wu Tian completely surrounded, several layers deep, numbering over a hundred.
Wu Tian's brow furrowed slightly.
He wasn't afraid of this number of monsters.
It was the strangeness among them that made him suspicious.
A significant portion of these monsters were different from the ordinary ones.
These monsters did not resemble zombies; they were entirely black, with bulging veins.
These were likely higher-level monsters.
From them, Wu Tian could even sense a biological presence, meaning they were not dead but simply mutated.
Activating his X-ray vision, Wu Tian discovered that the meridians of these higher-level monsters were filled with black energy.
This energy was identical to the black energy within the hearts of ordinary monsters, but its high concentration indicated their significantly greater strength.
Wu Tian stared at them coldly and said, "Stop lurking. If you want to attack, come on."
"If you don't attack, then I will make my move."
The higher-level monsters seemed to understand Wu Tian's words. They immediately let out strange cries and charged at Wu Tian together!
Wu Tian let out a cold snort and pointed his Thunderclap Sword forward!
Instantly, a highly destructive bolt of lightning shot out from the sword tip, covering all the monsters in that direction.
Thunderclap Strike!
Now that Wu Tian no longer had to worry about harming ordinary people, he could finally unleash his skills!
The monsters engulfed by the lightning burst into flames and fell to the ground as charred corpses.
Wu Tian entered full slaughter mode, taking down over a dozen monsters with a single casual skill.
The monsters, utterly ignorant of the concept of death, continued to surge towards Wu Tian like a tide.
And Wu Tian showed no mercy, cutting them down one by one.
At this moment, a monster suddenly broke through the chaos and grabbed Wu Tian from behind!
This monster was clearly a higher-level one, possessing immense strength. Even with Wu Tian's abilities, he couldn't break free immediately!
The other monsters rushed towards Wu Tian, intending to finish him off.
At the critical moment, Wu Tian let out a furious roar, and a powerful aura erupted from his body, pushing back the nearby monsters.
He spun around and charged forward, slamming the monster that had grabbed him to the ground.
However, at that very moment, he suddenly froze.
Because the face of that higher-level monster looked so familiar?
"Are you... Ling Tengyun?" Wu Tian's voice was filled with shock.
He couldn't believe it. The person before him indeed had the exact same face as Ling Tengyun.
Seeing Ling Tengyun again, Wu Tian felt a sense of unreality.
And judging by his roars, they were identical to Ling Tengyun's!
"What is going on!"
Great confusion immediately enveloped Wu Tian's mind.
Even while suppressed by Wu Tian, Ling Tengyun maintained a ferocious demeanor.
He kept howling, revealing blood-stained teeth, clearly intent on killing Wu Tian.
At this moment, Wu Tian could no longer hold back and intended to destroy Ling Tengyun's heart.
But a wave of immense shock washed over him as he discovered that Ling Tengyun's left chest was empty, with no heart at all!
"This..."
As Wu Tian was momentarily stunned, a tremendous power erupted from Ling Tengyun's body, pushing Wu Tian away.
Wu Tian lost his footing and stumbled into the midst of the monsters!
The monsters immediately converged on Wu Tian, and Wu Tian's heart tightened. He furiously unleashed a net of lightning, piercing through the monsters.
He flipped back to his feet and saw Ling Tengyun staring at him menacingly.
Through his X-ray vision, he found that Ling Tengyun's body was also filled with black energy, and it was even more concentrated than that of other higher-level monsters.
In this state, Ling Tengyun was practically the apex of the monsters, possessing the greatest strength among all of them.
But no matter what, all of this was too strange.
This was clearly their situation; what did it have to do with Ling Tengyun?
