Chapter 266: Slaying the Tomb Guardian General
Chapter 266: Slaying the Tomb Guardian General
September 25, 2017
Despite having Pan Feng's 'Unparalleled General' cheat, and despite Lu HaiKong's relentless strikes with the Mountain Splitting Axe, which numbered in the sixties or seventies, and despite the fact that the Tomb Guardian Soldiers were eventually slain by Lu HaiKong, their victory was far from glorious.
On the contrary, Lu HaiKong's triumph could only be described as a narrow win.
As Lu HaiKong unleashed his attacks on the Tomb Guardian Soldiers, they, in turn, inflicted heavy casualties on his Bandit Elite Guard.
After the battle, Lu HaiKong counted his kills, and although he had eliminated a hundred Tomb Guardian Soldiers, his own Bandit Elite Guard had suffered over two hundred casualties, a terrifying casualty ratio.
Even with Lu HaiKong's clear advantage, it was only through the combination of Pan Feng's 'Unparalleled General' and Lu HaiKong's 'Mountain Splitting Axe' that they barely managed to achieve a 2:1 casualty ratio. Who would dare call this a grand victory?
Adding to Lu HaiKong's frustration, the Tomb Guardian Soldiers left nothing behind after their deaths except for the battle armor and spears they wore. To make matters worse, Lu HaiKong was the main force in this battle, and each swing of his axe was a Mountain Splitting Axe, destroying armor and spears alike with its terrifying power.
After the battle, Lu HaiKong found it challenging to gather a few complete sets of armor and spears. Fortunately, Lu HaiKong's Fort had Gongsun, an elderly blacksmith with master-level skills, who should be able to repair the equipment without much difficulty.
As Lu HaiKong's Bandit Elite Guard tallied their losses and gains, the battle between Dian Wei and the Tomb Guardian General continued.
Lu HaiKong had initially thought that Dian Wei would finish his fight earlier, given that he had 3 more Strength points than the Tomb Guardian General. It's crucial to understand that every point of Strength above 80 is a significant gap. Moreover, Dian Wei's Strength had already surpassed 90, making the difference between his 90 points and the Tomb Guardian General's 88 points seem like a vast chasm.
Even with such a significant Strength advantage, Dian Wei couldn't defeat the Tomb Guardian General.
This was unavoidable, as the Tomb Guardian General's attributes were highly suppressive to Dian Wei.
Dian Wei's martial arts focused on two aspects: extreme power and a mysterious, overwhelming aura that crushed his opponents. In contrast, the Tomb Guardian General was a system monster, made from unknown materials, incredibly tough, and with a strength that was almost on par with Dian Wei's.
In this regard, the Tomb Guardian General was highly suppressive to Dian Wei. Adding to Dian Wei's frustration, his Ghost God Invincible aura seemed to have no effect on the Tomb Guardian General, as if it were hitting the ocean. He couldn't inflict any mental damage or reduce the opponent's strength.
Under these circumstances, Dian Wei inevitably found himself in a grueling battle.
Lu HaiKong noticed that Dian Wei's attacks seemed to leave only shallow marks on the Tomb Guardian General, and if he didn't dodge in time, the General's attacks would drain his stamina.
After all, Dian Wei was human, and his stamina wasn't infinite, unlike the Tomb Guardian General, who was a monster with limitless stamina.
"Gongsun, prepare the ballista! Once Dian Wei moves aside, aim at the Tomb Guardian General and fire!"
Concerned for Dian Wei's safety, Lu HaiKong immediately began arranging the only offensive strategy that could harm the Tomb Guardian General.
Just as Lu HaiKong gave the order, Dian Wei, in the heat of battle, blushed, his neck thickening. "My Lord, I can take him down!"
Don't be fooled by Dian Wei's usual laid-back demeanor; he was determined to win. Dian Wei had never disappointed Lu HaiKong, and he would not fail now.
Dian Wei's request was somewhat stubborn, but Lu HaiKong chose to trust him. "Alright!"
As Lu HaiKong agreed, Dian Wei's eyes flashed with determination, and a black, ghostly aura materialized behind him, rising into the sky. In that instant, a phantom shadow appeared, and a terrifying aura spread, causing even Lu HaiKong to gasp. Surprisingly, the Tomb Guardian General seemed unaffected.
Dian Wei seemed prepared for this, raising his twin spears and letting out a thunderous roar. The phantom shadow was sucked into his body, and Lu HaiKong noticed a black flame on Dian Wei's surface.
"Come at me! This time, I'll smash you to pieces!"
Dian Wei, engulfed in black flames, exuded even more arrogance than usual. He thrust his spears towards the Tomb Guardian General and charged forward.
"So fast! I can barely keep up with his speed!"
Lu HaiKong noticed a residual image trailing Dian Wei as he thrust his spears into the Tomb Guardian General, sending him flying dozens of meters away. Lu HaiKong realized he had never truly witnessed Dian Wei's full strength.
"Could this be his true power?" Pan Feng, witnessing this scene, was also shocked and grateful that Dian Wei had never gone all out when they fought together, or he might have died countless times.
As Lu HaiKong and Pan Feng stood in awe, Dian Wei unleashed his full power, striking the Tomb Guardian General with his twin spears repeatedly.
The Tomb Guardian General couldn't defend against Dian Wei's unleashed power, and his once impenetrable defense began to crumble.
Thirteen strikes, and Dian Wei's power was at its peak, landing thirteen consecutive blows.
Each strike not only hit the Tomb Guardian General but also impacted the ground with tremendous force.
After the thirteenth strike, the once-impenetrable Tomb Guardian General lay in pieces, and a three-meter-deep crater appeared where Dian Wei had unleashed his full power, showcasing his terrifying might.
As Lu HaiKong stared in disbelief at the crater and the aftermath of Dian Wei's power, the system notification arrived...
