Chapter 990: Slashing down the Apostles!

Ereben's sharp blade slashed through the air, surpassing the sound barrier as he thrust towards Ji Qing Wu.
Evan stared at that move, frowning, "Strong! This woman is finished! The Apostles are truly something else."
Almost all the experts showed a look of pity, as though they had already seen Ji Qing Wu being shredded.
Yue Zhong's face sunk as his eyes flashed with a killing intent, and it poured outwards from him.
All around him, the Apostles, and superhuman soldiers all felt their chests constrict, as though there was a vice grip on their necks.
Edward and Leo also frowned, releasing their own pressure to balance Yue Zhong's killing intent, stabilizing their own subordinates.
On the field, Ji QIng Wu remained cool, as though she had not felt Ereben's move.
At the moment he was about to strike Ji Qing Wu, she twisted her body, and the long blade in her hand disappeared. It turned into a profound flash that struck towards Ereben's chest.
Her style of combat was different from Yue Zhong. She had always been on the path of the Sword. After the apocalypse, she had been training in it consistently. This single strike was a result of her constant training, far surpassing any grandmaster of the past. It was unstoppable, and it slammed into Ereben's chest like a cannon.
Kacha!!
After that loud crack, the ribcage of Ereben cracked, as he spat out a mouth of blood and soared through the air, before crumpling on the ground.
"Ereben!!"
The Apostles beside Edwards immediately dashed forward with ugly expressions.
Ji Qing Wu then shot him a disdainful glance, turning his earlier words back on him, "Hmph! With just this ability, you dare to step out and issue a challenge! What a joke! I had thought that you could last longer. Who knew that you couldn't even take a single hit. What an eyesore."
Ereben heard those words he had used to ridicule Bai Xiao Sheng and felt a strong sense of humiliation. Spitting out another mouthful of blood, he fainted directly.
Seeing his plight, delight flashed in Yue Zhong and Yao Yao's eyes, while the killing intent he emitted was retracted.
If Ji Qing Wu had really been injured, then the enraged Yue Zhong might have fallen out with everybody and gone all out to eradicate Ereben, even if it was at the expense of falling out with the Kingdom of God once more.
"This fellow is dangerous."
Edward and Leo retracted their aura, looking at Yue Zhong while frowning.
Another young man stepped forward, dressed in military uniform. He was 2m-tall, and his golden hair short. He spoke coldly, "China's Ji Qing Wu? I'll remember you, I'm Erik, the 3rd Apostle from the Kingdom of God. I challenge you right now."
Yue Zhong heard Erik and frowned, before flipping his hand and tossing a Type 4 Enhanced Armor towards Ji Qing Wu, "Qing Wu, use this!"
After reaching the Type 6 realm, Yue Zhong's senses were extremely accurate, picking up information from any other entity lower than the Type 6 realm, as long as they were not utilizing any skill or treasure to mask themselves.
This 3rd Apostle Erik was a terrifying expert at the initial Type 5 Realm. Without any equipment, Ji Qing Wu was not his match.
After all, the experts of the Kingdom of God were all experienced, and not some riff-raff that relied on treasures to reach their level.
Ji Qing Wu donned the Type 4 Enhanced Armor, as the Type 4 Nucleus behind glowed, and sent a strong surge of energy into her, pushing her strength into the Type 5 Realm.
Erik eyed her and snorted coldly, "Type 5! Hmph, borrowing an external force to become a Type 5 expert, you're not my match! I will defeat you in a minute's time!"
Ji Qing Wu's eyes narrowed, "Bring it on!"
"You'll lose!!"
Erik's expression turned into a ferocious one, as he reached out to grab her, activating his ability: Air Vacuum. At that instant, all the surrounding air around Ji Qing Wu had been sucked out, forming a vacuum barrier that trapped her.
Erik had the ability to manipulate the air around him, forming powerful blades to slaughter his enemies, or remove the air, suffocating them to death.
In response, Ji Qing Wu did not panic, instead, pulling out her long sword to slash out, as a bright green sword radiance flashed. The vacuum was immediately sliced in half, breaking under her attack.
She was, after all, a genius in the path of the Sword. After reaching the Type 5 realm, her attack was incredibly sharp, as though there was nothing she could not cut. Even Yue Zhong, whose might was far above hers, might not necessarily beat her in terms of sword skills.
Ji Qing Wu then disappeared from the area, dashing in front of Erik. With her long hair fluttering in the wind, the shadow of her blade had already flickered in front of his chest. As she drew back her sword, a burst of blood shot from his chest, splattering onto the ground.
"Erik!!"
The remaining Apostles immediately rushed to carry him, while staring at Ji Qing Wu in anger and shock.
Ji Qing Wu glanced at Erik who was lying on the ground, as she sheathed back her sword, clean from any speck of blood, and spoke, "Not even a minute has passed, and you've lost. Too weak."
After being ridiculed by Ji Qing Wu, Erik's face turned pale, as he also followed in Ereben's example, spitting out a mouth of blood and fainting.
Ji Qing Wu then turned her cold gaze towards everyone else, her voice ringing out icily, "Who else dares to challenge me?"
Swept by he gaze, the Apostles all gritted their teeth, staring hatefully at her, not daring to step out.
Even the 3rd Apostle had been defeated by her, they had no confidence of taking her on.
Seeing the morale dropped, Edward frowned deeply. As a Type 6 expert, he could see the crux of the battle between the two of them.
In terms of strength, it was definitely Erik who was stronger. If they pulled apart the distance, and Erik was given the chance to execute his ability, preventing Ji Qing Wu from getting close, then it would be possible to defeat her. However, in such a close distance, he was not a match for her sharp sword.
"3rd Apostle Erik was defeated!"
"Unbelievable! He was defeated by that woman!"
"..."
Sounds of discussion broke out. Erik was an expert that could take on 10,000 zombies at one time, and yet, he had lost to this Ji Qing Wu. They were all filled with disbelief. The morale of the Kingdom of God's side fell even further.
Leo laughed lightly and stepped forward to break things up, "Let's end things here. Our enemies are the zombies and Saint Clan, not ourselves. I suggest that we all go to clear the zombies in Minsk, and determine the portioning through the results, how about that?"
Ji Qing Wu's swordsmanship was incredible, on this small stage, unless it was against Edward, or a peak Type 5 expert, no one was her match. Leo did not want to see Yue Zhong's side gain too much momentum.
Edward also agreed after a short consideration, "Fine! I agree! Minsk has a total of 1.5m zombies. We can use the results of the zombie purge tomorrow to determine our territories."
Yue Zhong also replied readily, "Sure!"
In the end, no matter how sweet the words sounded, it boiled down to strength. The 1.5m-strong zombie horde would be the perfect test for each faction to display their might, as well as the right to own more territories.
At this, everyone separated to rest.
Early the next morning, all 3 troops came outside of Minsk.
A hundred elite Kingdom of God elites sat on their vehicles and charged right into Minsk. Following the loud gunfire, they quickly routed back out, in their hands, were bags of Mutant Beast blood and human blood, that splashed across the ground.
Soon, the zombies within Minsk caught the scent of the blood and swarmed out.
The 100 elite Kingdom of God soldiers wielded their weapons and continued to lure the zombie horde out.
The moment they were about a hundred meters out of the city, the heavy weaponry from the Kingdom of God revealed itself, raining down explosives and bullets upon the zombie horde.
Hearing the roaring explosions, the rest of the zombies within Minsk finally gathered together and pushed out in a frenzy.
In the skies, the flesh-winged zombies also soared and charged out.
Eyeing the surging waves of enemies, Edward laughed lightly, "Let us begin then."
Leo quickly ordered, "Ok! Do it!!"
