Chapter 66: Full Speed ​​Ahead

Like a bolt of thunder tearing through the night sky.

A black silhouette shot across the rooftops of the city, swift as the wind, unstoppable.

In the blink of an eye, an ordinary Bloodkin in a white robe had no time to react before being cleaved by the Extermination Blade in Su Mu Zhe’s hand. It melted into ethereal blue flames, dissolving into a cloud of ash that scattered into the air.

Fighting once more as an Exterminator, Su Mu Zhe was reborn, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, his battle spirit unyielding.

Only with a burning obsession could one wield a blade.

His current fixation might be saving this city, ending Sheffield’s absurd farce, and delivering final judgment for his crimes.

Though his physical abilities stemmed from Bloodkin power, the Extermination Blade in his hand still held the remnants of his extermination force from a year ago. The ordinary Bloodkin he encountered along the way were no match for him in a single clash.

Evran didn’t stay glued to Su Mu Zhe’s side. Instead, she found an open-air transparent glass table near the moon, poured a glass full of blood, and quietly watched his devastating onslaught.

It was the unique elegance of Bloodkin nobility.

“This is incredible. It’s like a massive tornado sweeping across the land, leaving nothing in its wake. But more than the sheer power, it’s that aura that’s truly terrifying.”

“Though I didn’t witness the Otherbeast War firsthand, the rumors must be true. No wonder even the First Progenitor got involved.”

So, let her bear witness with her own eyes. The final battle of this Chief Exterminator, as a human.

The air was thick with the sickly-sweet stench of Bloodkin blood—pungent, choking, nauseating.

Yet it reignited Su Mu Zhe’s veins like roaring flames. He darted between buildings like a streak of black lightning, each swing of the Extermination Blade rippling crimson waves through the air.

“We can’t hold! Captain, at this rate, we’re all dead!”

“Damn it… there are too many enemies. We can’t fend off the Bloodkin Legion with just us!”

“This side’s breached too! The Otherbeasts broke through the line!”

The Exterminator Corps members, surrounded by Bloodkin and Otherbeasts, had fallen into despair, the shadow of death looming over them.

But in an instant, a howling gale filled their ears. The enemies encircling them—Bloodkin and Otherbeasts alike—vanished in sprays of blood mist and agonized screams.

“Th-Thank you…”

One Exterminator, rescued from an Otherbeast’s clutches, collapsed to the ground, staring in shock at the absurdly powerful silver-haired Exterminator before him.

Then, crimson ripples connected in the air one after another, drawing wails from Otherbeasts and Bloodkin alike.

The rescued onlookers exchanged stunned glances.

Suddenly, someone snapped out of their fear and confusion, shouting in astonishment, “W-What’s going on? I can’t even see it clearly… something’s off. This guy, he’s ridiculously strong!”

“Instant kills, all of them… Did reinforcements from the Exterminator Alliance arrive?”

“But the Imaginary Space has only been open for less than ten minutes.”

“Exterminators from another region!? Someone’s here to help us!”

The Exterminators, pulled back from the brink of death, froze in place. They rose again, but the sight before them reignited hope in their hearts.

Snapping to their senses, the fear and numbness shattered in that moment. Tears even welled in some eyes.

They’d all known deep down that this battle was lost, that everyone would perish here—but no one had said it aloud. Now, it felt like a turning point had arrived.

With a flick of his fingers, he could make a dozen Bloodkin on a floor spray blood.

Such combat prowess was unmistakably S-rank Exterminator level!

If Tian Tan City had an S-rank Exterminator within, the tide of battle could turn in an instant.

Sheffield… where was that guy? With his personality, he was probably watching this drama unfold over Tian Tan City from some shadowy spot right now.

He’d stolen the power of the SS-rank Exterminator Flash Spirit, then used it to assault the fellow SS-rank Exterminator Ghost. If Su Mu Zhe’s guess was right, Sheffield had used some kind of “gift” on Ghost too, seizing his extermination ability.

Now, the abilities of two SS-rank Exterminators were concentrated in one man.

On top of that, Sheffield’s swordsmanship was nearly invincible.

In the realm of swordsmanship, among humanity’s 700,000 Exterminators, none could surpass him. Even the sword techniques Su Mu Zhe favored most incorporated some of Sheffield’s teachings.

They should have been inseparable, trusted comrades, partners fighting side by side.

But reality had diverged bitterly from that ideal.

Extermination power could attach to any weapon—bow, spell, dagger, shield, even artillery or machine guns. But in practice, only the blade proved most efficient, maximizing its potential.

—Swordsmanship was the kingly path.

Having partially replicated the powers of two SS-rank Exterminators, this swordsmanship prodigy would become an exceedingly difficult foe among Exterminators. He’d likely broken through to true SS-rank by now.

In the distance, two fierce battles raged across the city, Bloodkin auras lingering in every direction.

Su Mu Zhe advanced at full speed!
