Chapter 217: Thousand Slash

"Who is that? He\'s insane!"

Rabbit was honing his sharp claws as he glowered intently at Eyeless.

"We\'ve seen footage of his past matches before. Have you forgotten?"

"No, I\'m just testing you."

"Good try, but I\'m still the smartest out of all of us!" Mole quickly recited the information that he had memorized about Eyeless. "He\'s supposed to be the most powerful adapter in Shadow City or something like that..."

"Isn\'t the director the most powerful adapter in Shadow City?"

"Alright, then he\'s the second-most powerful."

"What do we do?"

"We\'re already in the final zone, all we have to do is kill him! There\'s only one of him and three of us!"

Mole\'s logic was far from watertight, but it immediately received the approval of the other two psychic mutants.

"You\'re right! All we have to do is kill him!"

Having made up their minds, the three of them charged toward Eyeless at once.

Unsurprisingly, the first one to arrive was Mole, and while Eyeless was lashing out at others, Mole took advantage of the opportunity to attack him from behind. He first sent a blast of lightning crashing into Eyeless\'s back, causing his entire body to stiffen from the numbing effects of the powerful electric currents. After that, he manifested a series of chains with his lightning to bind Eyeless to the spot.

"He\'s not that strong. I\'d say he\'s only at about the same level as that snake..."

Before Mole had a chance to finish what he was saying, Eyeless had already freed himself from the lightning chains before slashing his sword at Mole.

His sword was extremely fast, so fast that Adam was completely unable to react to it, so fast that Medusa had previously had an arm sliced off, even though she was already mentally prepared.

Mole was also astonished by the attack. Never did he think that he would encounter an opponent whose attacks were far faster than even his own. In response, Mole hurriedly sprang to the side as quickly as he could while lightning erupted from his entire body, instantly reaching a speed far superior to Medusa\'s top-end speed, but even so, he was still struck by Eyeless\'s attack and a bleeding gash was sliced onto his belly.

"That was so fast!"

Before Mole even had a chance to catch his breath after dodging the first attack, the second attack had already arrived, and this time, it sliced off a large chunk of his shoulder.

He gritted his teeth through the pain as he transformed into a bolt of lightning that burrowed its way into the ground, but right at this moment, a third attack arrived, and with just a single strike, Eyeless was able to slice a seemingly bottomless fissure into the ground that was over 10 meters in length.

A splash of blood immediately erupted out of the fissure, accompanied, by Mole\'s enraged cursing.

With just three attacks, Eyeless had almost slain one of the most powerful participants that still remained in the battle royale, and everyone else could only look on in awe and veneration.

"He\'s become even more powerful than last year..." Medusa couldn\'t help but sigh to herself as she watched the ongoing battle royale from the lobby. "His method of training truly yields an extraordinary rate of progress. Thinking back, no one has managed to force him to reveal his full power in the entirety of the past year."

"Those three psychic mutants are really strong as well. Can\'t they beat Eyeless in a three-on-one battle?"

Anaconda had been severely wounded by just a single attack from Rabbit, so she was extremely wary of the three psychic mutants\' powers.

She was supposed to be the tank of the team, and her enormous psychic body granted her immense physical resistance, but even so, she was only able to withstand a single attack before being put completely out of commission.

"I don\'t think so. Perhaps the three of them could\'ve beaten him last year, but not now..."

Sure enough, the battle was progressing in a fashion that was just as Medusa described.

In the psychic world, Rabbit mustered up his soul power before lashing out at Eyeless with a devastating strike, but Eyeless made no attempt to take evasive measures as he slashed his sword upward to strike at the transparent souls that were gathered together.

The blade of his sword sliced through the souls like a hot knife through butter, and Rabbit\'s formidable soul power was unable to pose any resistance.

Rabbit was greatly alarmed by this, and he hurriedly detonated the soul power that he controlled within his hand, trying to wound Eyeless at the expense of also injuring himself.

However, as soon as the explosion erupted, a burst of light encompassed the entire area.

This was the Thousand Slash, a powerful technique that Eyeless was said to have mastered during his travels in the east.

According to ancient eastern legends, it was proclaimed that it was possible for a warrior to attain such perfect mastery of their weapon that they could use it to unleash a perfect, watertight defense.

In wars in the east during ancient times, the most commonly used weapon was the spear, and the image of a single man tearing his way through an entire army with nothing but a spear in his hands was often romanticized.

However, there was a major flaw to wielding a spear in a large-scale battle, and that was its defensive drawbacks, particularly against arrows. In this department, the spear was far inferior to a shield and single-handed weapon combination.

In order to address this flaw, many powerful warriors had devised all types of strategies. Some wore suits of heavy armor, some rode on horseback to improve their speed and agility, but it was said that there was a technique that allowed one to ward off entire volleys of arrows with just a single spear alone.

According to legends, only the mightiest warriors managed to master such a technique, and it was extremely rigorous to perform.

Essentially, it required the spear-wielding to attack with an extraordinary frequency, able to unleash spear strikes in such rapid succession that even if a bucket of water were to be splashed at them, the spear would be able to keep out all the water and leave them completely dry. Only after achieving this could one ward off all arrows that came their way.

This legendary technique had served as a source of great inspiration for Eyeless, and even though he wielded a blade rather than a spear, the nature of the psychic world presented countless possibilities that allowed one to overcome the limitations of the physical body.

This was the first time that he had used this technique in the battle royale. As he slashed his blade through the air in rapid succession, it was as if countless blades had appeared, encompassing the entire area around him. The resulting defense was so comprehensive that it managed to keep all of the shockwaves generated by the explosion at bay, going far beyond just a watertight defense.

Thus, Rabbit was the only one who was sent flying back by the explosion, while Eyeless remained completely unscathed as he withdrew his blade.

Armadillo was just about to attack Eyeless from behind, but he decided against it upon witnessing such an incredible display of power.

"I don\'t think we can beat him." The psychic mutants were insane, but they weren\'t idiots, and all three of them could already see the writing on the wall. "What do we do, Boss? He\'s too strong for us!"

"I don\'t know." Mole\'s voice rang out from the ground beneath Armadillo\'s feet. "Ask Rabbit!"

"I don\'t know what to do, either!" Rabbit clambered up from the ground as he frantically patted his own body to put out the fire from the burning fur on his chest. "How about we retreat for now, then attack him again after he\'s fought everyone else? Hold on, is he gonna fall for our plan now that he\'s heard me say it?"

The three of them were already beginning to consider retreat, but Eyeless didn\'t give them any time to think.

These three formidable opponents had garnered great interest from him, and he wasn\'t about to let them get away so easily.

"What should we do?"

Dead Wood\'s team was also in the nearby vicinity. The architect had already been slain by Eyeless, but the three monks were all still alive.

"I\'ve never seen those three before, but their powers aren\'t inferior to ours. If we want to win, then we have to ensure that they remain alive." Dead Wood was quickly assessing the situation around him. "There aren\'t many powerful combatants left aside from us. If those three end up dead, then no one will be able to contain Eyeles."

"But if we join their battle, wouldn\'t that open us up to being taken advantage of by everyone else?" the portly monk asked as he gestured toward Oni no Miko\'s team. "We\'ve always been the ones watching from the sidelines before swooping in at the last moment, we can\'t just rush in prematurely now."

"We can strike a deal."
