Soul Dominator of the Devouring Star

Chapter 40 Breakthrough, Hunt!

Inside the dilapidated residential compound, Qin Ming, wielding the Broken Army Halberd, dodged and weaved amidst an attack by a pack of tigers and hounds.

Every time the Broken Army Halberd is swung, at least one tiger or hound dies with a mournful cry.

He did not use throwing knives, nor did he control the monster souls within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to attack.

Instead, they rely entirely on the strength of martial artists to hone their movement techniques.

Qin Ming's movement technique was different from Ling Qianye's ghostly movement technique in the team. It was very simple, consisting of a few moves: a sudden thrust, a side dodge and slash, a spinning sweep, and a step back to defend.

When combined with the Broken Army Halberd in hand, it can unleash extremely efficient and domineering destructive power with its wide and sweeping attacks.

Roar!

The leader of the intermediate-level beast generals, Tiger and Hound, roared furiously and pounced forward, but Qin Ming merely turned slightly to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.

In the instant he turned to the side, the Broken Army Halberd shot out like a dragon, piercing through another high-level beast soldier-class tiger hound that was pouncing on him.

Then, with a drop of his shoulder and elbow, the halberd struck down like thunder, killing another tiger-dog.

The tiger-dog leader roared repeatedly, spewing out two streams of white air from its nostrils.

They tried to kill him time and time again, but he always managed to evade their attacks.

In the fleeting moments of their encounter, he was repeatedly wounded by the spearhead and crescent blade of the Broken Army Halberd, leaving several cuts on his body.

Although these injuries did not affect it much, the anger in its heart grew stronger as it watched its clansmen die one after another.

"Breakthrough! Strength has reached the intermediate warrior level."

He had mastered the first level of the Broken Army Halberd perfectly, and was beginning to make progress on the second level as well.

His movement technique is decent at the subtle level, but it's still far from perfect.

Weaving through the pack of tigers and hounds, feeling the changes in my body as I continuously absorb the essence of flesh and blood, and receiving messages from within the Myriad Soul Banner.

A smile appeared on Qin Ming's lips. He wielded the halberd with ease, and the tip of the spear followed the cold light of the crescent moon. In no time, he had killed all twenty-odd tigers and hounds.

Among them were even two low-level beast general-level tiger hounds.

"Pfft!"

A cold light flashed, like a bolt of lightning.

With a spray of blood, the Broken Army Halberd slashed down from above the Tiger-Dog leader's head, severing the leader's massive head.

The headless body crashed to the ground, causing the entire ground to tremble violently.

"call--"

With a sudden burst of energy, Qin Ming killed the leader of the Tiger-Dog Clan and let out a soft breath.

He has been in city 003 for thirteen days.

With flesh and blood puppets and the souls within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner keeping watch around him, he didn't even need to return to the base, completely immersed in the battle.

Every day he was completely immersed in the battle, fighting with all his might.

He repeatedly strived to push his movement and halberd techniques to their limits, using other monsters and the surrounding environment to hone his skills.

This allows him to absorb the essence of flesh and blood much faster than normal.

Therefore, his breakthrough to the intermediate-level warrior was faster than expected.

"Having broken through to the intermediate-level warrior, the mentalist has already reached the level of a beginner war god and can hunt down lord-level monsters."

With the Broken Army Halberd slung over his shoulder, Qin Ming caused all the tiger and hound corpses on the ground to vanish under the sweep of an inexplicable force.

brush!brush!brush!

With a thought, high-level beasts lurking around the city will emerge from every corner of the ruins.

Firescale Trident Boar, Ironclad Bull, Ogre Cat...

A total of twenty-six high-level beast generals.

This was another gain Qin Ming made in those thirteen days.

With the addition of these high-level beast general flesh puppets, the speed at which the Myriad Soul Banner collects monster flesh and souls has increased dramatically once again.

In fact, if Qin Ming wanted to, the number of these flesh and blood puppets could be increased tenfold or a hundredfold.

However, after trying it out, Qin Ming abandoned the idea.

Because the price-performance ratio is too low.

Turning monster corpses into flesh and blood puppets also requires consuming a large amount of flesh and blood essence.

There was no rush to set off.

After finding a place, Qin Ming sat cross-legged and began to practice the guiding technique.

"That feels so good."

"The continuous battles have exhausted my body to the limit. When I practiced the guiding technique, it felt like every cell in my body was trembling."

The breakthrough in his strength made Qin Ming feel happy.

In life-or-death battles, one can subconsciously unleash every ounce of power from their body.

This deep exploration allows for the absorption of more genetic energy with each cultivation session.

Not only him, but all other martial artists were like this.

Because he possesses the essence of flesh and blood and the crystallization of the soul, his progress is much faster than others!

……

brush!

Qin Ming's body soared into the air and landed on the back of the Azure Scaled Eagle.

With a flap of its wings, the Azure-Scaled Eagle broke the sound barrier in an instant.

Although Qin Ming could fly using his mental powers, his speed was far inferior to that of the flying monsters.

As a flying monster, the Azure Scaled Eagle's speed is generally inferior to that of a Lord-level monster.

Moreover, during the continuous battles of more than ten days, this Azure Scaled Eagle also devoured a large amount of flesh and blood essence, making it even stronger than it was in life!

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Five equally enormous flying monsters accompanied and flew alongside the Azure Scaled Eagle.

These are clearly the other flying monsters that Qin Ming has subdued.

In the smoke-filled area below, a team of twenty high-level beast generals charged toward a building materials market on the outskirts of the city.

Although there were only twenty monsters, the power they exuded was comparable to that of a thousand troops.

All the monsters along the way retreated and dared not stand in their way.

Those who were even slightly slower to run died on the spot.

In the sky, Qin Ming quickly arrived at his destination.

Before the Great Nirvana, this place belonged to a building materials wholesale market, but now it is occupied by a low-level lord-class monster, the Giant Rock Black Bear.

After circling in the sky for a few times, Qin Ming, with his powerful eyesight as a warrior, quickly spotted a colossal creature, seven or eight meters tall, below him through the thick fog—the Giant Rock Black Bear!

As a low-level lord, the Giant Rock Black Bear possesses immense strength. Its rock-like skin is harder than diamond, and even large-caliber cannonballs cannot penetrate it!

In a military combat video, Qin Ming saw a Lord-level Giant Rock Black Bear withstand the bombardment of tank cannons and rammed the heavy tank away.

With such a large body, it can move at the speed of sound.

A single impact is enough to be fatal.

Of course, among Lord-level monsters, the speed of sound is nothing special.

What's truly terrifying about this giant rock bear is its pair of paws; the speed at which it swings its paws is much faster than its movement.

Even with the Black God Set weakening the impact of nine layers, if the impact were to hit solidly, Qin Ming would be severely injured even if he didn't die.

Moreover, a large number of monsters gathered around this giant rock bear, the most numerous of which were pig-like and canine monsters, numbering at least over ten thousand.

There are as many as twelve high-ranking beast generals, and nearly a thousand other beast generals.

"Maintain distance from the Giant Rock Black Bear and kill it from a distance in the air! With a Lord-level monster Flesh Golem, you can snowball quickly."

The speed at which you hunt monsters can also be increased tenfold or a hundredfold.

Before long, the essence of flesh and blood needed to upgrade the Myriad Souls Banner will be collected.

Looking down at the giant rock bear resting on the ground, Qin Ming's eyes gleamed.

Rumbling--

Soon, the twenty high-level beast general flesh puppets running behind them rushed over, and their undisguised movements immediately attracted the attention of the large group of monsters.

Roar--

The Black Rock Giant Bear, which had been dozing, suddenly stood up, roared to the sky, and its copper bell-like eyes were filled with rage.

How dare a mere group of high-ranking beast generals invade its territory?
