Top-Tier Superpower Student

All the general officers, upon hearing this, were thrilled. Had they known earlier about the tunnel, they would not have been living in fear for so many days.

However, the matter rested entirely upon the element of surprise. Had even the slightest leak occurred, the tunnel would not only have failed to turn their defeat into victory but would have led to their annihilation. Thus, the King had not disclosed any news to them.

The general officers promptly made their preparations. The King personally selected ten thousand of the bravest warriors for Lin Tian and assigned General Officer Hedan to assist Lin Tian.

Under the cold night sky, at two-thirty, Lin Tian led ten thousand warriors quietly into the tunnel, while the rest of the soldiers each performed their duties, waiting for Lin Tian's gunshot to collectively spring into action.

After walking for more than ten minutes, a guide soldier told Lin Tian that they were directly underneath the American artillery camp.

"Everyone, get ready," Lin Tian shouted.

All soldiers took out their tools, ready to break through the ground.

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

"Action."

Lin Tian pushed forcefully upwards, lifting the soil above his head, and he was the first to charge out.

Tents surrounded them; the artillerymen were asleep, a few patrol soldiers were on watch, and a large force of five thousand American troops formed the outer defense of the artillerymen.

A patrol quickly spotted Lin Tian and his men and shouted loudly, "Enemy attack, enemy attack…."

Lin Tian fired a flying dagger, killing the shouting man. The other soldiers prepared to shoot Lin Tian, but his warriors fired first, killing all the patrolmen.

"You lead eight thousand men to wipe out those five thousand Americans, leave two thousand split into two groups, one group follows me to kill the asleep Americans, the other seizes their weapons and bombards the Americans," Lin Tian yelled to General Officer Hedan.

"Yes," he rapidly deployed his men to battle.

The gunfire also signaled to Hedan inside Hade town that this was their last chance. The moment the gunfire rang out, all gates in Hade town opened wide, and thirty thousand soldiers rushed out like a tidal wave.

Within a day, Lin Tian's deeds spread throughout Hade town, everyone believed Lin Tian was a celestial being sent from heaven to assist them. The power of an exemplar is infinite; the power of faith is terrifying. Now, all of them, shouting and teeming with killing intent, charged at the Americans with the conviction of certain victory.

Most of the Americans were asleep, and the sudden charge of several hundred thousand fierce troops greatly alarmed them. Before the battle even started, they were already disorganized.

The sound of gunfire woke the sleeping artillerymen in their tents; rubbing their eyes, still drowsy and unclear of what was happening, they saw figures appearing in the tents, these figures terrifyingly ghostlike, exuding an aura of fresh blood, causing their scalps to tingle.

"Who… who are you?" a trembling artilleryman asked.

No response—only deadly silence greeted him, followed by a machete.

"Ah ah ah…!"

Screams echoed continuously as Lin Tian led a thousand troops, moving between tents. Some American soldiers were chopped to death in their sleep; others were beheaded in a dream-like state. Lin Tian's soldiers suffered no casualties but killed all the American artillerymen.

The gunfire outside was constant. General Officer Hedan ran over to Lin Tian, excitedly reporting, "Five thousand Americans have been defeated, and we've seized their weapons. Now, the entire artillery position is under our control."

"Report, the Americans are attacking us," just then, a soldier ran over and reported.

Lin Tian ordered, "Speed is of the essence. Leave five thousand soldiers to utilize their firepower to fiercely bombard them. I'll lead five thousand soldiers to strike at Iren directly. After settling things here, come quickly to support me."

"Yes," General Officer Hedan quickly went to prepare.

Lin Tian, with five thousand men, resolutely charged toward Iren. After four hours of forced march, they reached their target.

There was a raging battle in Hade town, and today, they were not exploring oil and natural gas but were instead huddled in their camp, not venturing out.

The defense today was obviously much stricter than the previous night; sneaking in was utterly impossible.

They could only charge directly in.

"Kill!"

Lin Tian roared, leading the charge, followed closely by five thousand men.

"Kill!"

"Bang bang bang…!"

The fierce army, overwhelming like a mighty tiger swallowing everything in its path.

The Americans were stunned, their faces etched with sheer horror.

"What, where is this army from?"

"Hedan's army, wasn't it encircled in Hade town?"

"How did they suddenly appear?"

…, ….

While the Americans were in confusion and discussing, Hedan's army had already fired their vengeful bullets.

Lin Tian, Xiahou Qingyi, and four others headed straight for the central command tent.

They swiftly crossed a defense line, leaving behind a ground littered with corpses, and moved on quickly.

The second line of defense was a guard company comprised of special forces, known for their ruthless accuracy.

"Taotie System, give me some flash bombs," Lin Tian yelled.

Immediately, over twenty flash bombs appeared in Lin Tian's hands.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...!"

Within ten seconds, Lin Tian had thrown all the flash bombs, the bright light engulfing the sunlight.

The dazzling light hurt their eyes, making them roar in anger.

"Kill!"

Lin Tian and his group took advantage of the chaos and charged in, cutting down men like chopping vegetables, their clothes dyed red with blood, the blade dripping with the blood of their enemies.

When the bright light faded, all members of the guard company were on the ground; they hadn't managed to fire a single bullet and lost their lives in the blinding light.

"Everyone be careful, the battle has just begun," Lin Tian warned and headed straight for the central army tent.

"Action." A deep voice emanated from a tent ahead.

A rustling of footsteps ensued, and instantly, over thirty sword-bearing powerhouses rushed out. They were at least at the Mirror Breaking cultivation level, and among them were six, a half step into Mirror Consolidation, who were Lin Tian's true enemies.

"Kill!"

Lin Tian bellowed and charged directly at the six half-step Mirror Consolidation powerhouses.

Xiahou Qingyi followed closely, gripping the Qingluan Sword in her palm, its blade crackling with lightning, unleashing endless ferocity.

Lin Tian went all out, revealing his trump card, the Fourth Level of Ox Power Technique, the strength of seventy-two wild oxen combined with his Neural Response Speed Ability, as he blasted out with a punch.

One of the half-step powerhouses met his punch with his palm, which was covered in a layer of black gas. The gas was poisonous, causing anyone who came into contact with it to see their skin rot within five seconds and die within thirty.

This was his superpower, known as Five Poison Fog, notoriously lethal. With this ability, he had killed many strong adversaries.

Lin Tian, unaware his ability was also toxic, struck with all his might.

As the fist met the palm, both were shocked; the opponent was shocked by the immense force of Lin Tian's punch, and Lin Tian was shocked to find his opponent's palm was poisonous.

A scream rang out as the opponent's arm was shattered into fragments by Lin Tian's punch.

Lin Tian's fist was poisoned, turning black as his skin began to rot.

He quickly took out a healing potion from the Taotie System and gulped it down.

Although in pain, his opponent sneered, "No one poisoned by me survives thirty seconds. You will suffer as your skin rots and itches unbearably, enduring pain as if thousands of arrows pierce your heart before you die horribly. Do you feel a numb sensation in your arm? Soon, you'll experience an excruciating pain."

"The pain, your ass."

Lin Tian shouted back, having already neutralized the poison with the healing potion. It was ridiculous that his opponent was still boastfully explaining the dreadful effects of his poison.

He quickly advanced and, to his opponent's astonished gaze, ended his life.

Xiahou Qingyi was equally fierce, drawing the Qingluan Sword from its sheath, its sword cries thunderous and its cold light intimidating, as she thrust through the chest of a half-step Mirror Consolidation powerhouse, killing him.

Jiang Hui activated his superpower and swiftly turned into a three-meter tall giant, his fist the size of a basin, and with one punch, he easily crushed the head of a Mirror Breaking powerhouse.

Li Chong also activated his superpower, defending with one hand and attacking with the other. Within just a minute, two Mirror Breaking powerhouses had fallen by his hand.

Wang Ying killed even more effortlessly, his divine spear in hand, each pull of the trigger claimed a life, making him the most leisurely of the group.

Of the six half-step Mirror Consolidation powerhouses, two were now dead, with four remaining. They split into two groups, each targeting Lin Tian and Xiahou Qingyi.

The two attacking Lin Tian, one wielding a knife and the other a sword, double-teamed against him. As they both were armed and there were two of them, Lin Tian could only dodge, unable to attack, frustrating him so much that he considered swearing; he vowed to forge a suitable weapon for future combat.

He fought while retreating, then seizing an opportunity, he deployed the Flight Technique, leaping into the air, and quickly condensed a fireball, hurling it viciously at the swordsman.

"Boom!"

A blast sounded, and the swordsman had no time to dodge. The fireball exploded a meter away from him, blasting him into the air. He still had a breath left, but the fierce fire caught his clothes, and he screamed in midair, burning to death.

Only one half-step Mirror Consolidation powerhouse remained. Lin Tian roared and, energizing the Ox Power Technique, charged forward.

Lin Tian dodged his sword strike, leaving a phantom in his place. In the following second, Lin Tian's hand was already on his shoulder. Before he could turn his head, Lin Tian snapped his neck.

"Sigh..."

Lin Tian sighed heavily, seeing Xiahou Qingyi still fiercely battling two half-step Mirror Consolidation powerhouses. Wanting to help her, a sudden and terrifying sense of danger caused all the hairs on his body to stand on end.

"To death!"

A middle-aged powerhouse bellowed as he punched towards Lin Tian. His speed was extremely fast, his body like an arrow off its string, reaching Lin Tian in the blink of an eye.

Unable to dodge, he could only brace himself.
