Chapter 91: Terrifying to the point of fear, a qualitative change at Lv.10!
The black blade drew a mournful, fan-shaped trail of deathly light through the air.
There were no sophisticated sword techniques; it was purely a violent outburst of power and speed.
The heavy spine of the horse-slaying sword slammed into the waist of the airborne bone-crushing hunter, producing a teeth-grinding "crack" sound.
Like smashing a ripe watermelon with a hammer, the monster's spine shattered on the spot, its upper body twisted backward at a bizarre ninety-degree angle, and it flew out like a tattered sack, knocking down two companions that were about to pounce on it.
"ah--!"
Xu Shishi's terrified scream came from behind.
Two cunning hunters bypassed Jiang Ming from the front, their bone spears gleaming with a pale light, aiming straight for Su Xiaoxiao and Xu Shishi's throats.
They were clever; they knew the human in the silver tin can couldn't handle it, so they picked on the easy target first.
"court death."
Jiang Ming did not turn around.
He stomped his left foot hard, breaking the asphalt beneath his feet, and his body slammed backward using the recoil.
clang!
Two bone spears were precisely embedded in his carapace.
The sharp bone tip, sharp enough to pierce bison hide, slid across the Silver Knight's plate armor, leaving a trail of dazzling sparks and only two shallow white marks.
The immense impact caused Jiang Ming to grunt, but he used the force to twist his body backward, swinging his black iron horse-slaying sword in a perfect arc.
puff!
Two enormous heads shot into the sky.
The foul-smelling green blood sprayed all over the two girls behind him.
Su Xiaoxiao turned pale with fright, covering her mouth tightly to keep quiet, but her hand was still trembling as she threw a faint ball of light at Jiang Ming—[Combat Power Enhancement].
A warm current flowed into my limbs and bones.
Jiang Ming felt his almost depleted strength recover slightly.
He stepped forward, shielding the two girls behind him; his blood-stained silver figure now resembled an insurmountable Great Wall of Steel.
"Back off! Back off to a safe place!"
Jiang Ming kicked a hunter who was lunging at him away. The sound came through his visor and echoed with a heavy metallic sound.
The battlefield has become a complete mess.
Without unified command, the student council members are now like a bunch of headless flies.
They screamed and cried, shoving each other in the narrow school gate.
Someone tripped and was instantly trampled under countless feet, their screams drowned out.
A dozen or so Bonebreaker Hunters charged into the crowd, like a pack of wolves rushing into a sheepfold.
Bone clubs were swung, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
"Help! Brother Jiang, save me!"
A piercing cry for help came from not far away.
It's Chung Cheng-yu.
This boy, who always wanted to be a nice guy, was being pinned to the ground by a hunter.
He gripped a rusty iron knife he had picked up from the ground tightly, desperately trying to fend off the spiked club that was coming down on him.
But his pitiful strength attribute was a joke in front of a Lv.9 orc.
Beside him, his roommate was lunging at the hunter like a madman, trying to attack it with his weapon.
"Damn it! Let him go!"
puff!
A large, rough hand grabbed my roommate's head.
The hunter didn't even glance at it before its five fingers suddenly clenched together.
*Splat*
It's like crushing a tomato.
Red and white substances flowed down between his fingers.
Zhong Chengyu's roommate's body went limp instantly, and the headless corpse twitched and fell onto Zhong Chengyu.
"Ah Jie!!!"
Zhong Chengyu let out a heart-wrenching wail.
The hunter grinned maliciously, raised its brain-splattered spiked club, and smashed it down hard on Zhong Chengyu's head.
Jiang Ming witnessed this scene.
But he was entangled by four hunters and couldn't break free at all.
boom!
Zhong Chengyu's voice abruptly stopped.
That head, which always wore a fawning smile, exploded like a rotten watermelon.
The nauseating stench of blood in the air was so strong it was almost impossible to dispel.
Jiang Ming felt as if his lungs were being filled with molten iron, and every breath was accompanied by a burning pain.
But the black iron horse-slaying sword in his hand did not stop at all.
"die!"
A low growl.
Jiang Ming ignored the bone spear thrusting from his left, letting the sharp bone tip scrape against his Silver Knight full-body armor, creating a string of dazzling sparks.
He used his waist to generate force, propelling his heavy armor and greatsword, and like an out-of-control heavy tank, he slammed into the arms of the Bonebreaker Hunter in front of him.
Bang!
The muffled sound was like thunder.
The orc, which was 2.2 meters tall and weighed over 200 kilograms, suddenly had a large chunk of its chest collapse, and black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spurted from its mouth, splattering Jiang Ming's face with armor.
Before it even hit the ground, the black blade had already swept across.
puff.
Cut in half at the waist.
The orc, having lost his lower body, lay on the ground with his upper body slammed down, his hands still frantically scratching at the asphalt road, letting out a mournful howl.
This was the seventh hunter Jiang Ming had killed.
But his consumables were completely depleted.
The last [Armor-Piercing Acid Mine] had already slammed into the faces of the two monsters on the left three minutes ago.
Now, he relies solely on his strength of 20 points and his ridiculously tough tortoise shell.
"roar……"
The remaining five Bonebreaker Hunters finally gave in to fear.
Their walnut-sized brains couldn't comprehend why this tin can in front of them couldn't be broken no matter how hard they tried.
The spiked club bent, and the bone spear broke.
But the silver demon remained standing, able to cleave its companions in two with a single backhand strike.
This fear, stemming from biological instinct, overwhelmed the bloodlust.
The lead one-eyed hunter let out a low growl of resentment, gave Jiang Ming a deep look, and then turned and ran away.
The other four, as if granted a pardon, dragged their wounded bodies and fled in a sorry state.
"They ran away...they ran away!"
Li Bin slumped to the ground, panting heavily, the [Venomous Piercer] in his hand trembling slightly.
Wang Yang's situation was even more dire.
His leather armor had been torn to shreds, and his thighs and arms were covered in deep, bone-revealing wounds, making him look like a bloody mess.
If it weren't for the Vampire Fang ring constantly drawing life force from enemies to replenish itself, this fat man would have already gone into shock from blood loss.
"Don't...don't chase after them."
Jiang Ming, leaning on his sword, stopped Wang Yang, who was blinded by rage and wanted to give chase.
He is in very poor condition right now.
The dizziness caused by the depletion of his mental energy made him see double.
Congratulations! Your level has increased to Lv.10!
[Gained +1 free attribute points.]
A warm current flowed by.
The upgrade restored Jiang Ming's physical condition, which was on the verge of collapse.
Without hesitation, he added that bit of freedom attribute back to [Power].
Strength: 16 → 17.
With Su Xiaoxiao's buffs and equipment, his strength will exceed 22 points in his burst state!
This is a statistic that could tear steel apart with a bare hand.
