Chapter 138 Hitting the Steel Plate
"Stop! This is the demon beast the City Lord's Mansion is pursuing!" A loud roar was heard. The five late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators exchanged glances, immediately realizing that someone with only mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation dared to take the demon beast's remains right before their eyes, ready to kill and seize the treasure without a word. With a loud shout from one of them, the five charged fiercely. Before they even arrived, five top-grade magical weapons, including swords and knives, stabbed Liu Xing.
"They are from the City Lord's Mansion, which is a bit troublesome." Liu Xing was very calm. He knew exactly what the five people were thinking, so he had no intention of arguing at all, let alone begging for mercy.
"Boom!", five magic weapons collided with the enlarged turtle shield at the same time. Facing Liu Xing, an opponent who was one realm lower than them, the five people actually joined forces to attack him right away. Their intentions were extremely vicious, as they were ready to cut him into pieces with one blow.
"Hey, that's a good idea! This magical weapon is really good. It's mine. Don't fight with me." Seeing that Liu Xing actually blocked the combined attack of five people, they were very surprised. So everyone agreed that this shield was too powerful.
Liu Xing knew there was no chance of survival. The enemy's indiscriminate and lethal attack had infuriated him, and his rage was surging. The enemy was so numerous and powerful that he could only isolate and defeat them piecemeal.
Seeing the other cultivator carelessly neglecting to activate their defensive devices, and so close, he suddenly swung his octopus ropes and entangled the one closest to him, restricting their movements. Simultaneously, he followed with his mantis hammer, striking head-on with a blow no less powerful than a talisman. The hammerhead gradually enlarged before the cultivator's horrified eyes, and then exploded. White brain matter and crimson blood splattered across the ground, also landing on the other four. The visually striking, powerful blow left them momentarily stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
After killing one person, Liu Xingke didn't stop. Without even glancing at the corpse, he quickly pulled out a handful of Horned Python Talismans, over a hundred of them, and launched another attack at the four. Each Horned Python Talisman possessed the power of a strike from a cultivator at the peak of the twelfth level of Qi Refining. While not particularly lethal against a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, the sheer volume of the attack would still lead to a qualitative shift, forcing the enemy to scramble and fumble in their defenses. Because the four were relatively close together, his strategy of defeating them one by one was unfavorable, so he needed to separate them first.
Sure enough, seeing so many talismans coming at them with such strong momentum, the four of them finally woke up from their fear, immediately released various defensive magic weapons, and dodged in all directions.
Liu Xing seized the opportunity and unleashed five puppets at the farthest man, entangling one while he dealt with the remaining three. The four, having calmed down, finally stopped underestimating their foe and unleashed their defensive and offensive magical instruments. The might of these instruments surged to the heavens. The four men were formidable, and now, having realized their current strength, they knew that in a four-on-one situation, the odds of victory were firmly in their favor.
"You little brat, you dare to launch a sneak attack? I'll skin you alive, pull out your tendons, and extract your soul!" One of them was so angry that his companion died with his eyes open that he shouted at Liu Xing viciously.
One of them was entangled by the puppets. Though they only had four early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and one mid-stage, they took advantage of his moment of distraction from the talisman bombardment to surround him and launch a preemptive fire suppression attack. But in just half a quarter of an hour, he could turn the tables and regain the upper hand. "Let me let you be arrogant for a while," the man thought. His mana far surpassed the puppets', so he felt confident. His judgment was correct, however. Liu Xing didn't expect the puppets to destroy him; he simply wanted to use them to entangle him for half a quarter of an hour. Liu Xing had just fought the sawfish for so long, and although he had been conserving his mana, he had already used up half of it. At this point, he could only attack unexpectedly and quickly, with the hope of victory.
The other three attacked Liu Xing, and he simultaneously unleashed three of his ultimate magical weapons: a flying sword, a flying knife, and a harpoon, to meet them, unfazed by the prospect of facing three alone. The other three also unleashed their own ultimate magical weapons to counterattack, each confidently entangled with Liu Xing's own magical weapons, knowing that Liu Xing would soon be outmatched and outmatched.
"Kid, if you have any tricks up your sleeve, use them now! If you wait any longer, you'll have no chance!" Seeing that they had stabilized their position, one of them started teasing Liu Xing with words, acting completely composed, a typical cat-and-mouse game. The other two finally relaxed, their faces sneered.
"Boom," "Boom," "Boom!" Suddenly, three explosions rang out, shocking the three men. Their top-grade magical weapons were damaged to varying degrees by the blasts and could no longer be used. Liu Xing looked at them indifferently. Seeing that the magical weapons were entangled with each other, he did not hesitate to self-destruct his own top-grade magical weapon, aiming to cut off the enemy's claws.
"What a lunatic!" The three men, seeing their magical weapons damaged, were heartbroken. Who could have imagined that the opponent, without a word, would resort to a mad tactic that would injure the enemy by 800 but harm their own 1,000? They finally realized they had hit a wall. The opponent, a lone force deep in the sea hunting monsters, was not only formidable, but also ruthless. He must be wealthy, either from the second generation of a wealthy family or a member of a powerful government.
Liu Xing wasn't as indecisive as they were, and he took advantage of the other party's moment of anxiety. At the moment of the explosion, a missile cone quietly sneaked towards one of them. The missile cone was extremely valuable, and he only had three. If the enemy weren't so numerous, he would have been reluctant to use it. He wanted to win the battle quickly. He decided to use one first, then kill the other one, to increase his chances of success. The missile cone contained magnetic spirit stone, which had a certain stealth function. The damage to the top-grade magic weapon disturbed the opponent's mind, creating an opportunity for the missile cone to close in.
"Oh no!" When the missile cone struck his defensive shield, he finally sensed another sneak attack and panicked. A suit of armor instantly emerged from his body. It was a top-grade magical weapon, but due to its hasty use, it wasn't fully charged with spiritual energy. He felt somewhat relieved, knowing it could at least block the attack, though he was bound to be injured. The missile cone successfully pierced the spiritual energy shield and plunged into the armor. Although the top-grade magical weapon was incredibly strong, the missile cone had armor-piercing capabilities. Although most of the power was blocked, the tip of the cone still pierced his skin. Then, a terrifying scene occurred. With another "bang", his armor was shattered, along with his dantian, destroying his entire cultivation. He fainted and flew away.
