Awakening Chapter 167.1

Looking at the constantly drooling and eyeing him monsters, Lei Yin’s mind was calm like a still water. But deep within this calm, there was an inexplicable sense of excitement like a twisting, constantly tumbling undercurrent flowing far down below the mirror-like surface without causing any ripple.

In the thousands of years of rebirth, he watched as his friends and relatives grew old and then died. The pain from such losses cannot simply be summarized. In order to dispel the boredom of his helpless loneliness, practicing martial art became his only spiritual sustenance.

But after he comprehended the way of the Blade back then, even before he was struck by lightning, and became a spiritual body, it has been very difficult to find a worthy opponent. Moreover, with the pa.s.sing of times, the excessive use of firearms caused the martial arts to steadily decline day by day. To find a strong and powerful opponent was a rare and almost impossible matter.

Although he has long been accustomed to be way better than his opponent, deep down, he still hoped he can find a worthy opponent. Therefore, when he first met with Jiro Yamahara, who was an Esper, he hoped to be able to compete with him.

He often said that ReiLi was a militant person, but he was clear that he is the real crazy militant. But only if the opponents have the ability to fight with him.

Although the five experimental beasts were unused to light in the room, their strong sense of hunger made them forget everything. In their eyes, the man in front of them was just a piece of meat.

The first who rush at him was one with the long reddish-brown hair, the biggest one among the experimental bodies. There was a clear trace of saliva on the spot where he previously stood.

Two other experimental bodies with the same variety as him immediately followed behind. And lastly, the two Wolf-like with tawny hair experimental bodies followed suit.

These five experimental bodies were like a group of wild animals competing for food. But different from the wild animals, they actually maintained their certain distance toward each other, not fighting among themselves like common animals.

Hiding in the entrance of the channel Eiko Kotos.h.i.+ soon began to regret not to immediately drag this without brain guy. Although she did not like his arrogant att.i.tude, in any case, he really has given her a lot of help, and even saved her once.

Consider this as my payback to him. When the five monsters began to rush toward Lei Yin, the female police inspector clenched her teeth and rushed out from the channel holding the submachine gun.

Although the distance between Eiko Kotos.h.i.+ and Lei Yin was nearer, the five experimental bodies’ speed were a lot more faster. When she was about 50 meters away from Lei Yin, they had rushed to the front of Lei Yin. Perhaps she can do something personal to him just before he died, she thought.

At the same, she saw the man, who has been standing still all along, suddenly stirred.

Because his back was facing her, she did not see what he did, just saw his hands seemed to move a bit.

Then, she saw the red-brown monster, who was now two meters away from him, suddenly fell to the ground.

Not all of his body fell down to the ground immediately, just his upper body from the waist up. His lower body, after running two more steps, followed down. This bizarre scene happened because the monster was cut while running.

From the monster’s upper body fell to the ground to his lower body completely touched the ground, it only took one second. In that period, Eiko Kotos.h.i.+ did not know what exactly happened.

But the following scene forbid her to think about it because the other four monsters had also rushed to the front of that man.

At this time, the man made a casual yet very fast dodged to the side, avoiding a direct contact with those four monsters.

And then, she finally saw the man’s action. But as before, she only saw the movement of his hands.

His hands moved just a bit, but she knew what he had done.

He had cut the nearest monster with his blade.

She knew this not because she saw the blade’s movement, but because she saw the light from the blade flashed a bit.

She had no way to describe this blade, she believed no one can describe this blade.

She only felt that the s.p.a.ce and time around the man seemed to have been cut by the blade.

This feeling was very absurd. Like when one woke up, only to see the same scene in one’s dream. But then, in her heart, she knew that only this ridiculous idea could describe the scene she just saw.

Then, she saw the very similar scene appeared before her. The nearest monster’s body was cut in two, from the waist up and the other from the waist down. And because of the momentum effect, the lower body also ran forward a step before pouring out a pool of blood.

Eiko Kotos.h.i.+’s mind was completely shocked by the terrifying might of the blade.

When she was in college, she was once a member of the Kendo Club, moreover, she was third-dan. But she was unable to believe the scene that just happened in front her, this was completely beyond the acceptable common sense.

Even a bloodthirsty beast had a considerable intelligent, much less those experimental bodies, who were not mere beasts. At least, not too long ago, they were just ordinary humans, although now devoid of humanity.

After seeing the two of their kind similarly collapsed inexplicably, the eyes of the remaining three experimental bodies showed some fear, and each of them immediately took a step back and tightly stared at him.

Lei Yin calmly watched them, and then said in fluent Chinese: “If you have human consciousness, you do not want to see yourself become like this, right? Let me help you out of this misery.”

As soon as he said the last words, Lei Yin suddenly moved forward with speed not in the least inferior to those experimental bodies toward the Wolf-like monster standing on the far right.

Facing this sudden attack, the experimental body instinctively held out his two paws to grab the man. At the same time, the other two experimental bodies suddenly launched a violent attack toward Lei Yin’s exposed back.

This taking advantage of the opportunity to attack behavior was definitely a move that no beast should have. It showed that these experimental bodies still have some human intelligence.

Seeing Lei Yin being encircled by the three monsters, Eiko Kotos.h.i.+’s heart tightened.

At the same time, she saw that incredible scene again.

She saw before the monsters’ hands grabbed him, the man suddenly squatted half-down and then cut horizontally with his blade.

Like watching a magic show, she saw a white light that seemed like an illusion pa.s.sed through that wolf-like monster’s body without any resistance. And then, in the same fas.h.i.+on, swiftly pa.s.sed through the second experimental body. Finally, the long blade quietly stopped at the spot a half meter away from the third experimental body.

The faint white light did not disappear because the blade has stopped. It was still like a glowing line as it linked together with the third experimental body.

That cutting the s.p.a.ce and time with the blade kind of feeling shocked the mind of the observer once again.

“Pop, pop” Two consecutive sound was heard. They were the sounds of the two monsters’ half bodies, who were attacking Lei Yin’s flanks, when they touched the ground like dolls.

Meanwhile, the last wolf-like monsters who were projecting his claws forward seemed to have no change. But when he roared, wanting to continue to pounce toward the man, his body finally cannot withstand the severe twist and separated in two.

Although the five monsters have all been cut, their extreme body structure did not allow them to immediately die. Instead, they howled on the ground in extreme pain. The entire hall was filled with these scalp tingling strange sounds. In order not to let them continued to suffer, Lei Yin had to stab them in the heart one by one.

Initially, he did not want to cut them in two in the waist, which would make them suffer for not dying instantly. But because of the gene mutation that was caused by the experiments, each of their heights was more than two meters, and also much bigger than the wolf-like monster he previously met. Therefore, cutting at the waist was much easier than trying to cut their necks.

After putting the blade back into the scabbard on his back, Lei Yin gently sighed. Although he won this fight, his heart did not have the slightest bit of joy.

If this was a hand to hand fight, almost every one of them can be a match for him. But when he has a blade in his hand, then it can only be a one-sided ma.s.sacre. Moreover, he just slaughtered opponents that have already lost their awareness, which made him very uncomfortable.
