Chapter 146: Art Is Explosion
“Who are they?”
Tanya watched Li Tianxing, who had flown away through the air, and her beautiful eyes were filled with deep shock.
This kind of midair flight was something that even existences above martial artists could not do at all, yet an apprentice could accomplish it. It was simply unbelievable.
Among the fleeing crowd, Brajiji of the Nine Streets Gang looked at the group of figures that had suddenly appeared and could not help being stunned.
Silver-gray clothing, and those damned human race faces.
“Gray-clothed Demons! Why would they come here?” At this moment, as Brajiji looked at the players that had appeared, he could not help feeling his scalp go numb.
It was bad enough that three lord-grade monsters had emerged from underground beneath the Martial Artist Association, but at least those three lord-grade monsters were fighting each other, battling over the monster remains stored by the Martial Artist Association, and would not specifically hunt down people like them.
But the Gray-clothed Demons were different. They were all lunatics who did not care about their lives. Once they locked onto a target, it was a fight to the death. They would rather throw away their own lives just to take someone else’s.
If they were entangled by the Gray-clothed Demons now, it would absolutely be a situation of certain death.
“Brajiji, what’s wrong with you, kid? Why aren’t you running yet?” A giant man, also wearing B1-grade battle armor and over three meters tall, looked at the stopped Brajiji and asked curiously.
“Nothing. I just overexerted myself earlier, and this box is a bit heavy. I need to slow down a bit.” Brajiji pretended to be exhausted as he spoke.
“If you think the box is heavy, then give it to me. When it comes time to count the merit for this box, I’ll only take fifty percent!” The giant man saw Brajiji’s slightly pale face and believed him somewhat, licking his lips as he spoke.
They had run too hastily before and had grabbed nothing in the warehouse. Now, seeing the three-headed giant snake fighting and finding the danger not as high as imagined, if he could bring back a box, that would be a fortune.
Especially since the box Brajiji held was pale gold in color, forged from the top-grade B6-grade raw ore Rem Titanium Gold. It was one of the nine most precious boxes in the entire warehouse.
Tanya had only let Brajiji carry it out of her trust in him. The others truly were not qualified to carry it.
“Fine, but you have to be careful. This box is quite heavy. If it’s lost, both you and I will be punished.” Brajiji looked at the giant man who was eager to share the burden and pretended to nod helplessly.
“Relax. Are you still not clear about my strength?” The giant man quickly took the metal box, and the corners of his mouth were about to twist with joy.
With that, he carried the metal box and rushed quickly toward a less crowded street, no longer caring about Brajiji at all.
“This way, I probably won’t bear too much responsibility.” Brajiji watched the giant man sprint away and could not help but smile.
Originally he had been worried about how to deal with the metal box in his hands. After all, the Gray-clothed Demons had attacked the people carrying the golden light boxes as soon as they appeared. It was obvious their target was the Rem Titanium Gold Storage Box.
He was very confident in his own strength, but he also understood how terrifying the Gray-clothed Demons were. Even with B1-grade battle armor, once hit by a B2-grade arrow, it would be instantly penetrated.
He could handle a few Gray-clothed Demons alone, but if faced with the siege of over a dozen, he would definitely die.
When the giant man rushed out of the crowd carrying the golden light box, Luo Wu Shang and the others also noticed that dazzling treasure chest shining under the sunlight.
“Quick! Cut him off! That golden treasure chest definitely has a big surprise in it!” Luo Wu Shang immediately led people in a charge, completely ignoring the others carrying treasure chests.
Now Luo Wu Shang had truly reached the extreme of a quasi-martial artist. With Startling Spirit Breathing Technique at 90% proficiency, plus Crushing Stone Fist Second Level Perfection and Leopard Shadow Steps Second Level Perfection, the combined boosts to strength and speed made her no weaker than a true martial artist.
With a single Leopard Shadow Step, she quickly caught up to the Sub-demon Giant Man.
“A quasi-martial artist dares block me?”
The Sub-demon Giant Man looked at Luo Wu Shang, who had caught up with only a B2-grade arrow in hand and no armor, and laughed.
Suddenly, the Sub-demon Giant Man drew the B2-grade battle saber from his back and swung it straight toward the approaching Luo Wu Shang.
Martial Artist-level Martial Skill: Sea Splitting Saber!
Wearing B1-grade battle armor, his ordinary strike already had close to 1,800 kilograms of strength. Once he used a martial artist-level martial skill, his strength could exceed 6,000 kilograms, something no one below martial artist level could possibly block.
Facing the sudden strike from the Sub-demon Giant Man, Luo Wu Shang seemed to have expected it. She directly slashed out with a Sword Qi Slash.
The sword qi was formless. At the moment it collided with the B2-grade battle saber, it exploded.
The B2-grade battle saber in the Sub-demon Giant Man’s hand was not greatly affected. It was only forced to deviate from its original trajectory, scraping past Luo Wu Shang’s side.
“Not bad.”
Seeing his first strike fail, the Sub-demon Giant Man once again channeled Sea Splitting Saber, preparing to strike again.
“This B-grade battle armor is really a pain.” Looking at the Sub-demon Giant Man’s next attack, Luo Wu Shang understood that she could not confront him head-on. The difference in their strength was too great, and his reaction speed far surpassed that of an A6-grade battle armor. She sighed helplessly. “Qing Wei, I’ll leave the rest to you.”
“Okay.” Zhang Qing Wei, who had rushed over from not far away, nodded.
“Even if you work together, it’s useless.” The Sub-demon Giant Man had learned the human race language, so he clearly understood Luo Wu Shang’s instructions. “I want to see how many times a quasi-martial artist without the support of battle armor can block my Sea Splitting Saber!”
He did not care about Zhang Qing Wei at all. Even if they attacked in tandem and gave him no chance to use martial skills, he could still rely on his ordinary attacks, each with nearly 1,800 kilograms of strength, to completely suppress the two of them while waiting for support from the other members of the Nine Streets Gang.
However, just as the Sub-demon Giant Man was watching Zhang Qing Wei closely, he saw Luo Wu Shang also take up a lunging stance, with faint arcs of electricity coiling around the B2-grade arrow in her hand.
Before the Sub-demon Giant Man could react, Luo Wu Shang used Leopard Shadow Steps. Her figure turned into a black shadow as she sprinted forward, thrusting with the B2-grade arrow in her hand.
In an instant, twelve strands of sword qi stabbed at the vital points all over the Sub-demon Giant Man’s body almost simultaneously.
This move was the strongest martial skill Luo Wu Shang had developed so far.
Polaris!
She had completely fused Point Star, Lightning Palm, and Leopard Shadow Steps into a single martial skill, whose instantaneous sword qi assault speed could exceed the speed of sound.
However, using three martial skills at once in a single breath placed an unimaginable burden on her body. Even with the Body Strengthening Secret Technique mastered, once she used this move, she would not recover for over ten minutes.
“Lunatic!”
Seeing the twelve incoming strands of sword qi, the Sub-demon Giant Man was shocked. This was clearly a move that risked her life. He frantically swung his battle saber to block.
Boom!
With just one swing, four of the twelve strands of sword qi shattered instantly. The saber slashed right through Luo Wu Shang, ending her in a single blow.
But immediately after, the Sub-demon Giant Man, whose body had been struck by six strands of sword qi, had his internal organs shredded. Blood gushed from his mouth as he collapsed to the ground, breathing out but not in.
Zhang Qing Wei, who had rushed over, grabbed the golden light treasure chest with one hand and quickly retreated.
Only now did the Sub-demon Giant Man lying on the ground realize that Luo Wu Shang’s earlier words had not been about teaming up at all, but about going down together with him.
Lunatic!
A complete lunatic!
Her ruthlessness in throwing away her own life was probably more extreme than that of the suicide squads cultivated by the gangs.
“As expected, they really are all demons.”
Watching everything from a distance, Brajiji felt no surprise at the outcome. He even felt it was only natural, because this was exactly the style of the Gray-clothed Demons.
“Damn it! Keep all of them here for me!”
Mo Ke watched as Lu Fanchen and the others snatched another storage box and could not help leading people in a charge, determined to capture Lu Fanchen and the rest.
Li Tianxing had already taken a Rem Titanium Gold Storage Box, and now Lu Fanchen and the others had stolen another. Mo Ke simply could not tolerate it.
Out of the nine Rem Titanium Gold Storage Boxes, he had only been allocated four in total.
With Li Tianxing taking one, if Lu Fanchen and the others took another, half of his gains this time would be gone. He had to keep Lu Fanchen and the others here.
Especially when he saw that Li Tianxing, not far away, had actually come back. If a master who could walk in midair like Li Tianxing got his hands on a storage box, it would be completely impossible to get it back.
In an instant, more than twenty quasi-martial artists of the Los Family nearby surrounded Lu Fanchen and his group.
“Xinyao! Take the treasure chest to Tianxing. I’ll cover the rear!”
Seeing the quasi-martial artists closing in, Lu Fanchen did not hesitate. He handed the treasure chest to Lin Xinyao and charged toward the direction where Li Tianxing was coming from.
“Kid, you’re just an intermediate apprentice and you think you can cover the rear?”
“Do you want me to fight you with one hand?”
The six quasi-martial artists of the Los Family looked at the charging Lu Fanchen and burst out laughing.
An intermediate apprentice was not even worth a glance in their daily lives. Now that they wore A6-grade battle armor, they could slap him to death with one palm.
However, when Lu Fanchen rushed to within less than two meters of the six, his entire body suddenly expanded. Violent blood qi surged from him, even forming a blazing plume of blood qi smoke as waves of heat swept in all directions.
Before the six quasi-martial artists could react, Lu Fanchen let out a shout.
“Explode!”
Boom!
Blazing fire energy erupted like a bomb of flames, engulfing the five-meter area around him. Countless needle-like strands of fire energy pierced straight through the bodies of the six quasi-martial artists. Before they could even scream, they were lying on the ground, blood streaming from them, utterly dead.
Everyone present was stunned by what they had just witnessed.
A living person could actually explode?
And the power was comparable to an electromagnetic grenade, terrifyingly fierce!
At this moment, not only were both factions dumbfounded, but even fellow players such as Twilight of the Gods were dumbstruck.
Do we also have a self-detonation function?
