Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 556 - 553: Cleanup and Pursuit

Listening to the discussion, Yi Hongliang, who led the group, said nothing and simply hurried onward in silence.

He knew that the typical combat styles of other Body Shaping Realm experts likely didn’t apply to Lin Xinghai.

Given his style of plowing through everything in his path, he might really just charge in and immediately escalate the fight to a fever pitch.

At that thought, he couldn’t help but quicken his pace.

But suddenly, everyone stopped in their tracks. The sounds of battle in the distance had ceased completely; there wasn’t a single noise.

The implication was self-evident.

"No way! The fight’s over already?" one of the squad leaders gulped, managing to say with difficulty.

"So... a winner’s been decided. Should we still go?" someone else asked.

The group fell silent.

Either Lin Xinghai had won, or the three enemy Body Shaping Realm experts had.

And could Lin Xinghai possibly defeat three Body Shaping Realm experts in such a short amount of time?

They barely had to consider the question to arrive at an answer.

In their minds, it was almost certain that Lin Xinghai had been sacrificed.

"Let’s go! Regardless of the outcome, we have to face the enemies here sooner or later. Rather than wait to die, we might as well take the initiative. Perhaps things aren’t as bad as we imagine," Yi Hongliang said grimly, taking a deep breath.

He said this because he had witnessed Lin Xinghai’s Speed. If Lin Xinghai dared to go alone, he surely had a trump card to save his own life.

Therefore, he was more inclined to believe that the silence meant Lin Xinghai had been defeated and had escaped, not that he had been killed.

The others had no objections and quickly followed Yi Hongliang, charging forward with expressions that showed they were ready to face death.

Half a minute later, the grim expressions of the group, who had been ready to face death, were replaced by looks of utter astonishment.

They saw Lin Xinghai leaning against the door to the control room, surrounded by a dense carpet of fallen bodies.

Of course, what drew their attention the most were the three Caucasian corpses nearby. Even though the men were dead, they had died so recently that their auras were still faintly perceptible.

To a group of Blood and Qi Realm Martial Artists like them, the faint pressure of the Body Shaping Realm emanating from the corpses was as conspicuous as a firefly in the dead of night—impossible to ignore.

"Captain Lin... you dealt with all the enemies here?" Yi Hongliang asked with difficulty, swallowing hard.

"Isn’t it obvious?" Lin Xinghai replied, somewhat amused.

After he’d dealt with the middle-aged Caucasian man, the remaining two at the Body Shaping Realm Early Stage could hardly pose a threat to him.

After all, with his Speed having reached the level of the Divine Demon Realm, they could only take a passive beating.

Furthermore, his Time Acceleration Ability didn’t just boost his movement speed; it could also increase his attack speed tenfold.

Under those conditions, as soon as he found an opening, he could unleash his "Thunderstorm" technique, which they were completely unable to block.

So, the last two men, combined, didn’t even last five seconds before Lin Xinghai picked them off one by one.

Seeing them fall into a state of shock once again, Lin Xinghai reminded them impatiently, "The system in the control room seems to be on autopilot. If you don’t hurry, the next batch of Corpse-men will be released soon."

The others snapped out of their daze and quickly contacted the soldiers who were skilled with computers to come and take control of the systems.

Next, with several computer experts working in concert, they not only halted the awakening of the Corpse-men but also used the central control system to gain complete command over the three floors of the base below.

In particular, the Combat Robots under their control all turned, beginning to attack the base’s armed personnel.

In an instant, the tide of the battle here had turned completely.

Lin Xinghai was a little surprised to see this, but a look of approval soon spread across his face. With this, he no longer had to worry about the safety of the others staying here.

"You all hold this position and wait for reinforcements," Lin Xinghai said to Yi Hongliang, who was directing the men.

Hearing this, Yi Hongliang was puzzled. "And you, Captain Lin?"

"I’m going to catch up with General Kong Hua and see if I can help," Lin Xinghai stated plainly.

At his words, the others standing nearby were at a loss for what to feel.

What Lin Xinghai was proposing was undoubtedly a death wish. Even an expert at the Peak of Body Shaping Realm wouldn’t dare to interfere in a battle between Divine Demon Realm experts.

In a state of complete Divine Demon Transformation, one’s power undergoes a fundamental metamorphosis. A battle on that level was simply beyond their comprehension.

The problem was, Lin Xinghai was just too much of a Demon. They had no idea what level his true combat prowess had reached.

Lin Xinghai had fought against three Body Shaping Realm experts by himself and ended the battle in under a minute.

And one of those three was at the Body Shaping Realm Late Stage. Given the circumstances, even an expert at the Peak of Body Shaping Realm might not have been able to pull off what Lin Xinghai had just done.

So they all opened their mouths to speak, but didn’t know whether to try and talk him out of it or simply warn him to be careful.

Lin Xinghai paid no mind to their indecision. After speaking, he took the empty magazines from his tactical pack and replaced them with fresh ones.

Without waiting for anyone to say another word, he gave a dismissive wave and headed straight out of the control room.

Before anyone could even snap out of it, he had already vanished from sight.

...

A moment ago, Lin Xinghai had obtained a complete map of the underground base, which also revealed the locations of its hidden secret passages.

The base concealed an astonishing 18 secret passages.

These passages had entrances on both the fourth and fifth basement levels.

Of course, Lin Xinghai didn’t know which passage Kong Hua and Raphael had taken.

But that didn’t matter. With one trying to escape and the other trying to stop him, they would have been fighting the entire way. All he had to do was follow the trail of destruction.

He quickly started his search from the middle, checking each entrance one by one. Along the way, he eliminated any armed personnel he encountered, further lightening the burden on the Sharp Blade Camp members he’d left behind.

When he reached the fifth entrance, he found the Alloy walls there riddled with holes, many punched straight through. There were also scratches several meters long.

It took barely a glance for Lin Xinghai to know this was the passage the two had taken.

After all, these Alloy walls were a full ten centimeters thick. Even a Body Shaping Realm expert would find it difficult to punch through one.

But a single glance down this secret passage revealed that barely any part of it was left intact. Only a battle at the Divine Demon Realm could cause this level of destruction.
