Li cautiously looked into the depths of the tunnel like darkness, keenly aware of the abnormal movements in the darkness. That was the increasingly heavy breathing of the Bestial Corruptors!
"There's a Corruptor inside, and there's more than one!" Li warned in a low voice.
"Leave it to me!"
Qi Yuan pulled out a small black device from his waist pocket and wore it on his right ear. This was a small item that Qu Shi had Dark Circles give him before they set off. It could resist the mind distortion and mind control abilities of the Mystic Realm to a certain extent, making up for Qi Yuan's weakness in mental power.
Seeing Qi Yuan pull out Beheader and walk step by step through the hall at the entrance, walking towards the gloomy corridor, Li took a deep breath and similarly pulled out the two short axes at his waist, slowly following after him.
Feather and Gray Robe walked at the back, ready to fight at any time.
Qi Yuan walked at the front, his area detection clearly "seeing" that the two Bestial Corruptors had already arched their bodies, their fingers as thin as eagle claws, the ferocity in their eyes growing stronger and stronger, as if they were ready to attack at any time.
They knew how to ambush and sneak attack, so there was an intelligent Corruptor in the vicinity commanding them!
After scanning the surroundings with area detection, other than a few Bestial Corruptors, there were no traces of intelligent Corruptors.
Is it upstairs?
Qi Yuan suddenly thought of the checkpoint on the top floor. According to the usual habits of checkpoints, the checkpoint on the top floor must be the most dangerous place.
Stepping into a long dark corridor, there were half-opened doors on both sides, and the windows of the rooms were all blocked with wooden planks or stones, so the lighting was especially dim.
The dim light already affected the vision of normal people, but it was not enough to offset the Corruptors' aversion to light.
Qi Yuan's footsteps were very light, but the sound of his feet rubbing against the tiles spread very far in the corridor. Coupled with the roars coming from afar, the surrounding environment was oppressive and terrifying.
Just as he was about to step into the attack range of the Bestial Corruptors, Qi Yuan suddenly stopped. The two Bestial Corruptors that were arching their bodies tensed up, as if they were hesitating whether or not to immediately attack.
Just as the Bestial Corruptors were hesitating, Qi Yuan suddenly stomped on the ground with his right foot, his body turned into a sharp arrow, shooting towards the Corruptor that was lying in ambush to the right.
Roar!
The two Bestial Corruptors roared at the same time. Although they had low intelligence, seeing Qi Yuan's sudden attack after a short pause, they were also angry that they were being played.
Two Bestial Corruptors rushed out from their hiding places. Their clothes were ragged, their pupils were as black as ink, and their expressions were ferocious and terrifying.
"Be careful!"
Ruthless only had time to yell out two words before he saw Qi Yuan rush forward, his right hand brushing past the Polluter that had rushed out of the room.
The Corruptor, the Corruptor, the Corruptor, the Corruptor, the Corruptor and Corruptor. The headless Corruptor, the Corruptor, the Corruptor, the Corruptor, the Corruptor, the Corruptor, the Corruptor.
In order to maximize the Decapitator's power, Qi Yuan had even upgraded the energy core embedded in the weapon, replacing it with the more powerful Purple Laser Flame.
The three of them were all ability users. Even if they didn't have the ability to enhance their vision, this kind of dim light couldn't block their vision. However, Qi Yuan's attack was too fast, so fast that they didn't even see how the Corruptor died!
So fast!
The three of them were slightly shocked. Although Qi Yuan's reputation as the Butcher was very well-known, it was only a rumor after all. They hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
When facing the rank 1 Qi Yuan, they more or less looked down on him, so the one who drove the car was Qi Yuan, and the one who walked first to scout the way was also Qi Yuan. They also wanted to see how much of Qi Yuan's Butcher title was exaggerated.
They didn't expect that Qi Yuan would only use one attack. Under the pincer attack of two Corruptors, he cleanly beheaded one of them without a trace of sloppiness.
The two Corruptors' killing speed was extremely fast. They had at least rank 1 speed enhancement, and it was a sudden sneak attack. Under such circumstances, even if they were in Qi Yuan's position, they wouldn't be able to do better than Qi Yuan.
One of the Corruptors was beheaded and fell to the ground. Qi Yuan seemed to have opened an eye behind his back, and he "saw" the killing trajectory of the other Corruptor.
Qi Yuan's right foot tapped on the wall, creating a spiderweb-like crack, and his body suddenly turned.
The Decapitator drew a purple arc in the darkness and instantly swept across the throat of the second Corruptor, completing the beheading once again!
The two Corruptors weren't slow, but they couldn't compare to the speed of steel. Coupled with the cheat-like vision of the area detection, the two Corruptors, whose strength wasn't even at rank 2, became the souls of the dead under Qi Yuan's blade before they could even touch the corner of his clothes.
"Both of them are dead?"
Li looked at the unmoving headless corpses on the ground, his eyes full of shock, as if he didn't dare to believe his own eyes.
Apart from light, the Corruptors, who had almost no weaknesses, were much harder to deal with than Insectoids. Even though these two Corruptors weren't that powerful, they were both dealt with in less than two seconds, and they died under the hands of a rank 1 ability user. This type of contrast brought about a powerful visual impact.
The three of them looked at each other, seeing a trace of shock in each other's eyes. With their strength, dealing with these two Corruptors wasn't a difficult matter, but to do it so cleanly and efficiently, none of them could do it.
Right now, the three of them only had one thought in their minds.
Qi Yuan was worthy of being the butcher who silenced all of the Iron Chariots!
A drop of black mucus slid down from the Decapitator's blade. A bewitching purple radiance scattered around the blade, releasing a strange and cold killing intent.
Corruptors were afraid of light, so the purple radiance on the blade perfectly interfered with the Corruptor's vision and judgment.
"The elevator here is broken, we'll take the stairs!"
Qi Yuan carried the Decapitator and walked at the front. Looking at Qi Yuan's back figure, the three of them suddenly let out a sigh of relief. The stronger Qi Yuan was, the less pressure they had to bear. Having a teammate with such powerful close combat ability in front of them was undoubtedly an extremely fortunate thing.
After dealing with the two Corruptors lying in ambush at the entrance of the corridor, the path behind them clearly became much quieter, no more Corruptors continuing to jump out to ambush them.
The three of them passed through the long corridor, the further in they walked, the dimmer the light became. When they reached the corner of the stairwell, the light was already dim enough to affect the vision of Transcendents.
Qi Yuan suddenly stopped. He 'saw' that on top of the wall at the entrance of the stairwell, more than ten Corruptors were coldly staring at them. There were even a few Corruptors among them that were clearly stronger than the two Corruptors from before, at least rank 2 Corruptors.
They used their sharp claws to hide their bodies on top of the wall, looking just like giant rats.
Qi Yuan did not speak, only looking up at the ceiling of the corridor. The few people behind him immediately understood and prepared for battle.
Ruthless was slightly surprised. He had also sensed the existence of the Defiler, but before he could warn Qi Yuan, he had already been discovered by Qi Yuan. Furthermore, Qi Yuan had already determined the location of the Defiler's ambush. This meant that Qi Yuan's Domain of Perception was much stronger than his.
Qi Yuan signaled for them to take a few steps back while he slowly walked towards the stairwell. The moment he entered the stairwell, two Corruptors suddenly pounced downwards.
Qi Yuan, who had long anticipated this, quickly retreated, leaving the stairwell and retreating back into the corridor. The two Corruptors pounced on empty air. Without any leverage in the air, the Corruptors were clearly confused. Why did their prey suddenly retreat?
Without waiting for the two Corruptors to react, Qi Yuan swung the Decapitator in his hand. A purple arc bloomed in the darkness, instantly beheading all the Corruptors that had not yet landed on the ground.
Thud!
Thud!
As soon as the two headless corpses of the Decapitator fell to the ground, the remaining Corruptors instantly went berserk, pouncing towards the four of them along the wall.
Roar!
Roar!
Amidst the angry roars, more than ten Corruptors pounced forward, instantly causing the scalps of the three people behind to go numb. They did not expect so many Corruptors to be hidden here.
Three Corruptors pounced towards Qi Yuan, while more circled around Qi Yuan to attack the three people behind.
Feather no longer hesitated, raising the Gatling gun in his right hand and unleashing the powerful firepower of a Tier 3 Mechanic. The six ferocious barrels spun rapidly, orange flames spewing out madly, and the roar of gunfire instantly broke the silence of the corridor!
Ruthless stood in front of Feather with his two axes, his muscles tensed as he slashed towards a Corruptor that had passed through the blockade of firepower.
Gray Robe's eyes glowed with gray light, locking onto the Corruptor that was charging at the front. Its speed was clearly faster than the other Corruptors, easily bypassing the blockade of the Gatling gun and attacking the back.
The Corruptor's eyes were filled with ferocity. Just as it was about to pounce down from the wall, its movements suddenly froze. Gray Robe had made his move!
Distortion!
This Tier 2 Corruptor fell directly into Gray Robe's control. It turned around and pounced madly towards the Corruptors behind it.
The three Corruptors that attacked Qi Yuan had learned their lesson from the previous two. They did not continue to attack from the air, instead attacking along the corridor walls.
"What a showy show!"
Qi Yuan snorted coldly, holding the Decapitator as he charged towards the stronger Corruptor. Without the Bug Beast Detector, he could tell from the aura of the three Corruptors that this Corruptor was stronger than the other two.
The Bestial Corruptors did not fear death. They did not care about the Decapitator in Qi Yuan's hands at all and pounced madly.
Others might be afraid of this crazy way of fighting, trading life for life, but Qi Yuan was not!
Come!
Qi Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
The encirclement of three Corruptors is indeed difficult to dodge, but I have Steel Regeneration and Steel Defense. I am not afraid of being injured, so I don't need to dodge at all!
Steel Strength!
Steel Speed!
Qi Yuan burst out with all his strength. The Decapitator's blade shone with a purple light, causing the Corruptors to close their eyes subconsciously.
After staying in the darkness for a long time, the Corruptors could barely open their eyes when the purple light suddenly shone.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qi Yuan, who was already prepared, suddenly rushed forward. The blade in his hand was like a bolt of purple lightning, instantly cutting through the dark corridor.
Whoosh!
The Decapitator's heavy and sharp blade broke through the powerful Bestial Corruptor's defense without any hindrance, and then cut off its head with a single slash.
The other two Corruptors roared, their sharp claws piercing towards Qi Yuan's body. At the same time, they opened their mouths full of sharp teeth. The corners of their mouths cracked open to the back of their heads, opening their mouths to bite at Qi Yuan's neck.
The sharp teeth were densely packed, and the gaps between the teeth were covered with black blood. A strong stench suddenly rushed towards his face.
Although the Bestial Corruptors did not use weapons, their claws and teeth were the sharpest weapons. With just one bite, they could completely bite off a person's neck.
Qi Yuan held his breath and stabbed the bloody mouth of the Corruptor on his right. The purple blade directly penetrated the back of its head and nailed it to the wall.
At the same time, his left foot suddenly swept out and hit the chest of the Corruptor on the left. In a series of bone-breaking sounds, the Corruptor seemed to have hit a fast-moving train and flew backward at a faster speed than when it came.
The Corruptor nailed to the wall was still struggling, its sharp teeth biting the Decapitator's blade, making a harsh friction sound.
Qi Yuan glanced at him and directly pulled out the Decapitator. The Decapitator's head was cut off. This killed the Corruptor with tenacious vitality.
The Corruptor that was kicked away was still struggling on the ground, but the power of Qi Yuan's horn was too terrifying. There was no complete bone in its entire upper body, so it could not stand up after several struggles.
It lay on the ground, but the fierceness in its eyes did not diminish at all. It kept roaring angrily from its throat.
The Corruptor's body not only had no obvious vital points, but as long as its head was not cut off or the corruption core hidden in its body was destroyed, no matter how serious the injury was, it could quickly heal itself.
Qi Yuan walked over and looked down at the struggling Corruptor, but did not immediately kill it. Instead, he quietly activated Area Detection to find its corruption core.
Although the Corruptor's appearance was similar to that of humans, its internal structure was completely different from that of humans. The flesh and internal organs in its body had all turned into sticky black mucus, and the white bones were also dyed black.
The Area Detection clearly "saw" that the Corruptor's broken bones were recovering. In the center of its abdomen, there was a strange organ hidden, like a black octopus, constantly swallowing and spitting out the black mucus in the Corruptor's body.
Was that the corruption core?
Qi Yuan aimed the Decapitator at the strange organ in the Corruptor's abdomen.
A hint of fear suddenly appeared in the eyes of the ferocious Corruptor. It moved its body, trying to avoid the Decapitator's blade. The black octopus also began to move its position bit by bit, trying to avoid the piercing of the blade.
Interesting!
Qi Yuan suddenly stabbed down, directly breaking through the Corruptor's defense and accurately stabbing the black octopus.
The Corruptor's body stiffened, and then it quickly lost its breath. It died more thoroughly than if its head was cut off!
After the black octopus was pierced by the blade, it suddenly trembled and then disintegrated inch by inch, melting into the black mucus and disappearing without a trace.
The gunshots behind him slowly subsided. Qi Yuan did not need to look back to "see" the results behind him. More than ten Corruptors had all been strangled. Most of them died under the torrent of Feather's firepower. In such a narrow space, the torrent of Gatling's firepower was the fiercest AOE, killing people like cutting grass.
Being hit by the rotating Gatling, even the tenacious Corruptor could not bear it because the bullet could easily tear the Corruptor's body apart, far more terrifying than the bullet holes left by ordinary firearms.
In the broken limbs and black blood all over the ground, a Corruptor with wounds all over its body and missing an arm stood. Its eyes were empty, and it had been completely controlled by Gray Robe.
