Chapter 23: Massacre
Chapter 23: Massacre
The people who killed over afterwards were sprinkled with these corpse fragments, almost all dyed into blood men, scaring them out of their wits. A Level 4 Warrior! Was simply insta-killed like this. And their strengths were all similar. If they went up like this again, wouldn’t that be seeking death?
Actually, if Old Xie didn’t gather Qi, he would at most injure the opponent, absolutely impossible to kill him on the spot. But Old Xie after storing Qi was equivalent to releasing several times the attack at once, naturally abnormally strong! Insta-killing a Level 4 Warrior was also a very normal thing.
But this was also to blame for that Warrior’s lack of knowledge. After all, the Assassin profession hadn’t appeared for hundreds of years. It was forgivable for him not to know. If he knew the characteristics of Assassin martial arts, he definitely wouldn’t confront Old Xie who had gathered three Qi head-on. In fact, as long as he tangled with Old Xie for a dozen seconds, Old Xie’s Qi would disappear even if he didn’t release it. By then, he would have an easier time fighting!
Just as those guys were stunned by the blood and minced meat all over their bodies, Old Xie moved like lightning, shuttling back and forth between them. With one punch per person, he knocked them all down. There was no helping it; the efficiency of four arms hitting people was just too high. Old Xie’s arms were long, and the opponents were close, so he could attack four people at once with a single strike. Two strikes, and they were all down; it took less than a second. Those killed by the Naga arms were headless corpses, because their heads had been shattered. Those killed by the Behemoth Arm turned into puddles of mush, because most of the bones in their bodies had been shattered by the shock!
Seeing this scene, everyone around, from top to bottom, felt a chill run down their spines. That leader was trembling all over with fright. To save his life, he hurriedly stammered, “Monka, it’s up to you! Kill him for me, and I’ll guarantee you become a Noble when we get back!”
Monka was the strongest expert in this team, a Level 5 Warrior of the upper rank, almost breaking through to Level 6. He was considered quite an expert on the Continent. This man was about two meters tall and wore a set of plate Armor with extremely high defense; one look and you knew it was the work of a Dwarven Master.
This man was not young, over sixty years old, which was considered middle-to-old age on this Continent. With years of life experience, he was actually a very perceptive and cautious person. After seeing Old Xie’s fierce performance just now, he felt a bit intimidated and was unwilling to fight to the death with this person of unknown origin. But when he heard his master promise to make him a Noble, he couldn’t hold back.
One had to know, coming from a poor background, his biggest pursuit in life was to become a Noble. But becoming a Noble was not easy; even as a Level 5 Warrior, he could only be a dog for others. Unless he could become a Sword Saint, but given his age and talent, there was no hope in this life. So, under normal circumstances, it was very difficult for him to fulfill this Noble dream.
But today, Old Xie’s appearance gave him such a rare opportunity. Facing this only chance in his life, he would not give it up even if he had to risk his old life! So, after getting his master’s guarantee, Monka’s eyes immediately turned red, and his whole person exuded a powerful aura, which even made Old Xie have to be a bit wary of him.
“Hiyah!” With an angry roar from Monka, his whole body turned into a stream of light, rushing towards Old Xie like a storm. With his charge, his momentum kept rising. When he was only a dozen meters away, his momentum reached its peak, and he suddenly leaped high into the air. He released all the powerful Battle Qi in his body in mid-air. The brilliant light was like the sun, and his whole body turned into a meteor, crashing fiercely towards Old Xie.
In the eyes of Monka, a veteran, the green balls beside Old Xie were likely used to increase attack power; otherwise, they wouldn’t have instantly killed a Level 4 Warrior. Through Monka’s observation, Old Xie’s method of gathering energy was hitting others, so he was so anxious to rush up, planning not to give Old Xie a chance to gather energy, and to hack Old Xie to death with one sword.
However, seeing Monka pouncing from the air, Old Xie not only showed no nervousness but smiled happily. Because Monka was too self-righteous. If others used Tiger Strike, they naturally gathered energy by hitting people, but Old Xie was different; he had just invented a method of gathering energy by punching his own fists together before coming here.
Because it was mutual hitting, the action and reaction forces both acted on Old Xie, so with one strike, Old Xie could gather double the energy. As a result, when he came, a strike gathering six Energy Balls shattered the Stone Slate, and he was even lectured by the Old Mage.
And now, Monka foolishly jumped up to slash at Old Xie; wasn’t that just a big meal delivered right to his door?
Naturally, Old Xie would not miss this opportunity. He saw him slightly bend his legs to stand firmly in a stance, and then his four fists struck each other in pairs. Each strike could gather four energies at once. In the blink of an eye, after three strikes, twelve pale green Energy Balls were floating around Old Xie. Just at this time, Monka also reached the highest point and began to pounce towards Old Xie.
However, seeing the pile of Energy Balls beside Old Xie, Monka, who was full of confidence just now, was instantly stunned. He almost regretted his guts out now. One had to know, he just saw with his own eyes that Old Xie instantly killed a Level 4 Warrior with three energies, and now he had twelve energies, yet he jumped over like an idiot. Now he didn’t even have a chance to dodge and could only brace himself to take the hit head-on. Could he withstand it?
At this point, Monka had no way out. He could only concentrate all the Battle Qi in his body onto the two-handed sword in his hand and slash it down fiercely. Old Xie was not polite either; he directly inhaled the twelve Energy Balls into his body at once, then shouted and punched out with all four arms together.
A loud bang was heard. Due to the excessive energy, Old Xie’s punching arms actually formed a pale green oval air blast in front, with a diameter of nearly one meter. Like a cannonball fired from a barrel, it hit Monka fiercely.
Immediately, a scream was heard from Monka, and then he flew backward, flying dozens of meters before heavily falling to the ground. His Treasure Sword was broken, his Armor was shattered, and his whole person was like mud; there was probably not a single intact bone in his body. After falling to the ground, he only had time to take one look at his master before he directly breathed his last.
This scared those people out of their wits. Including the leader, everyone shouted together and then turned to run. Even a Level 5 Warrior was instantly killed; where would they find the courage to fight Old Xie? It was truly a case of a defeated army crumbling like a mountain.
Unfortunately, Old Xie was not willing to let them go. Seeing the other side escape, he hurriedly chased after them. At this time, the other side was like a group of frightened ducks, scattering in all directions. Using his fists to solve them one by one would obviously be troublesome. Helplessly, Old Xie had to use spells. His two Naga arms flipped up and down, shooting out Lightning Arrows at the escaping people. Although the Lightning Arrow was a Level 1 Spell with very small power, it depended on who it was hitting. If hitting ordinary people without Battle Qi and Magic protection, it was guaranteed to kill one with each strike.
In addition, Old Xie’s Behemoth Arm was not idle either. He constantly used the Great Shift technique from the Xuanyin spells to suck the scattered rubble and weapons on the ground into his palm, and then threw them out. This Great Shift technique was actually using thought to move objects. Back when Old Xie’s cultivation technique was still there, he couldn’t move an aircraft carrier into the sky to fly as a plane, but now, although his strength was greatly reduced, moving small things was no problem.
With the terrifying power of the Behemoth Arm, as well as Old Xie’s eyesight and accuracy, no matter what was thrown from his hand, it was guaranteed to kill a life. Thus, Old Xie’s four arms were like a turret, with Lightning and debris flying together, quickly killing dozens of escaping guys.
