Chapter 131: The End of the Battle (Part 2)
September 25, 2017
Lu HaiKong was unaware that a seemingly important figure had slipped away, and he had no time to worry about that now. He realized that he might have underestimated Hu YinQi, as this guy was surprisingly resilient. Lu HaiKong couldn't take him down easily and even felt the danger of being counter-attacked.
This resilience didn't refer to Hu YinQi's ability to withstand hits but rather his exceptional agility. Despite being aware of Dian Wei's formidable strength, he never gave up on the idea of counter-attacking Lu HaiKong.
Not only did Hu YinQi dodge Lu HaiKong's attacks, but his eyes were like venomous snakes, fixated on Lu HaiKong. He was waiting for the right moment to strike again and take him down.
Even without a weapon, Hu YinQi only needed to dodge Lu HaiKong's attacks. From the start, he didn't rely on weapons, and with his strength, he could take down Lu HaiKong without one if given the chance.
Under these circumstances, the battle began to shift back to the previous situation. That sense of impending death slowly returned, and Lu HaiKong's Mountain-Breaking Axe Technique rapidly improved, but this wasn't a good thing.
Lu HaiKong had to admit that his strength wasn't enough to defeat the agile Hu YinQi, which left him somewhat dejected, but only slightly.
As the fight between Lu HaiKong and Hu YinQi intensified, a group of Xianbei people, persuaded by the middle-aged man, emerged. Seeing such a large group, Hu YinQi's eyes lit up with joy, while Lu HaiKong's face turned bitter. He gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it. Since I can't take him down alone, I'll have to ask Dian Wei for help. It won't be a Silver Chest anyway."
"Dian Wei, give me three seconds!"
With no other options, Lu HaiKong had to use his ultimate move. With Dian Wei's presence, the problem of finding the right opportunity to use the Mountain-Opening Axe, which had plagued Lu HaiKong before, was now much simpler.
As Lu HaiKong's words fell, a terrifying aura, like an invisible heavy hammer, struck Hu YinQi's mind.
Hu YinQi's face turned pale, and he stood rigid for two or three seconds, unable to react. He could only watch as Lu HaiKong took a deep breath, raised the axe over his head, and prepared for the Mountain-Opening Axe's starting stance.
Lu HaiKong had only used the Mountain-Opening Axe three times in total, but he could clearly feel that with each strike, the power of the next one increased. Especially with his own strength improving, the current Mountain-Opening Axe was almost twice as powerful as the first time he used it.
Although Lu HaiKong hadn't swung the axe yet, a powerful aura was already brewing. Compared to Hu YinQi and Hu Yili, Lu HaiKong's aura was relatively weak, but considering his strength was only at 66, the fact that he could even gather an aura was astonishing. Moreover, Lu HaiKong's aura was clearly superior to Hu YinQi's venomous snake-like presence in terms of both level and quality.
When Hu YinQi finally broke free from Dian Wei's aura, his face changed dramatically. He knew that Lu HaiKong's strike would be incredibly powerful, and he also realized that he couldn't even dodge it.
Mountain-Opening Axe had one drawback—it was challenging to initiate and required a certain amount of time to activate. However, once unleashed, its effect was astonishing, leaving opponents unable to dodge.
Even before Hu Yinqi made a move, he felt as if he had transformed into a mountain, unable to budge. It was a lock and suppression of momentum unique to Mountain-Opening Axe. Hu Yinqi's venomous snake-like momentum seemed to enter a state of hibernation, rendering him incapable of any action.
In this situation, Lu HaiKong directly swung his axe downward, splitting Hu Yinqi in half just as he had envisioned victory. Without the ability to dodge and with no weapon to block, Hu Yinqi was like meat on a chopping board under Lu HaiKong's strike.
"Congratulations on your advanced-level kill of Hu Yinqi. You've gained 30,000 Allocatable Skill Experience."
"Congratulations on your advanced-level kill of Hu Yinqi. You've obtained a Bronze Chest."
"Damn it! As expected, one must rely on themselves. Dian Wei only made two moves, and the experience gained is at least 20,000 less. The Silver Chest has directly turned into a Bronze one."
Lu HaiKong felt the pain of this, but there was nothing he could do. Another group of Xianbei people emerged, and he didn't have much time left to slowly defeat them.
In fact, those who had just come out of the tent were still a bit dazed when they saw Hu Yinqi split in half by Lu HaiKong's axe. But Lu HaiKong wasn't fazed at all. Although he had just used Mountain-Opening Axe and consumed a lot of stamina, his strength had surpassed 60, allowing him to use two consecutive axe strikes. Currently, his strength was at 66, and he could withstand the exhaustion from a single axe strike. Seeing more enemies appear, Lu HaiKong didn't hesitate or show any sign of weakness; he raised his axe again.
However, Lu HaiKong wasn't a fool; he knew his exhaustion was excessive. He was aware that he and his few companions couldn't defeat the enemies before them, and it was time for Dian Wei to take action after spectating for so long.
As Lu HaiKong's ultimate weapon, it was time to showcase his power and intimidate Hu Yinwen amidst the significant changes in the Hu Yin Tribe. Lu HaiKong feared that Hu Yinwen, as the new chief, might have foolish ideas, so he called upon Dian Wei to join the fight while engaging the enemies himself.
Dian Wei had been bored, and his terrifying strength was evident even to Hu Yinqi's subordinates, who weren't foolish enough to approach him. Lu HaiKong had also prohibited Dian Wei from taking the initiative, but as he watched Li Xiong and the others fight, Dian Wei felt a growing eagerness to join the battle.
In the 1619 version of the book, Lu HaiKong's command came, and Dian Wei's mouth curled into a delighted smile. Immediately, he transformed into a terrifying presence, like a ghost entering a divine state. Although he started later than Lu HaiKong, he swiftly outpaced him and charged into the group of Xianbei people.
From then on, it was solely Dian Wei's show. Over a hundred Quasi-Martial Generals, who were considered powerful, seemed like mere children before Dian Wei, unable to withstand a single blow. Within just a few minutes, Lu HaiKong didn't even have time to claim a few kills before Dian Wei effortlessly and happily eliminated them all. The action was so swift that Hu Yinwen didn't have time to rush over to stop it.
Witnessing over a hundred Quasi-Martial General-level Xianbei people being slaughtered like chickens by Dian Wei, Hu Yinwen was both terrified of Dian Wei's formidable strength and saddened by the loss of what should have been his loyal followers.
