Chapter 641: Stone Fist
Chapter 641: Stone Fist
In the shadow of the mountain peak, Lindsey quietly observed the three Awakened ones charging towards him.
The entire ambush plan was orchestrated by Lindsey himself.
He was also clear about his current objective—to eliminate the enemies as quickly as possible and then support his subordinates.
However, when the last person caught the arrow and crushed it, Lindsey's pupils constricted.
"The power of Law."
Lindsey hadn't encountered many Lawkeepers, but he could bet his life that this was undoubtedly the power of the Law system!
Lindsey's heart felt like a knot.
He was well aware that when Lawkeepers exercised the power of Law, they could retain their self-control in the early stages, but in the later stages, they might be severely influenced by this power.
In the Wasteland, anything could happen to Awakened ones.
But thinking of Hanske, who firmly upheld his principles and was unafraid of power in the Forest Court, and Alon, who was determined to bring hope to the world, Lindsey's anger ignited the knot in his heart.
Whoosh—
The weapon in Lindsey's hand transformed instantly.
The Iron Horned Bow and Black Feathered Arrows disappeared simultaneously.
The Lawkeeper's Freezing Law appeared momentarily, followed by the infusion of Essence into his body, and his skills and agility erupted at an unimaginable speed.
Then, he stepped forward.
A slender figure emerged from the dark mountain rocks, like a surging flood in the rain, rushing towards the enemies below.
"This is... the Law Steel Sword!"
The three Awakened ones, who had intended to expose Lindsey, saw his initiative and their eyes lit up with joy.
But the Lawkeeper at the back, his eyes narrowed as he had already noticed the weapon in Lindsey's hand.
"Be careful, this guy is also..."
The Lawkeeper's words trailed off as, in the moment he was speaking, he felt a blur before his eyes, and the enemy who had been in front of him just a moment ago had somehow crossed hundreds of meters in an instant, appearing right before him.
"Ah?"
The reaction of ordinary humans was useless at this moment.
As the Lawkeeper exclaimed in surprise, the cold blade pressed against his face, clashing with the golden Law markings that appeared instantly.
Lindsey's gaze remained unfocused, not locking onto the enemy below for even a second.
His extensive learning allowed Lindsey to recognize these golden characters.
[Unjust ones shall be resisted here and shall not advance.]
Crack!
Lindsey activated the explosive power of his Life Essence.
As his strength surged again, the golden Law markings were also filled with cracks.
Unparalleled power conducted from the blade onto the Law skill, instantly breaking through the defenses of the unjust one.
The Lawkeeper's pupils constricted:
"Wait! I..."
"Die."
The cold verdict was accompanied by an outburst of power from his arm.
In the next second, the Lawkeeper was sliced in half, along with his Law, and fell to the ground, motionless.
Lindsey turned around.
Five or six meters away, on the mountain slope, the remaining two Awakened ones stood facing him.
Both were stunned by the scene before them.
The Lawkeeper was only a Tier 4 Awakener, but his skill was unique and powerful. Especially the speed and strength Lindsey had just displayed were completely beyond the common sense of ordinary Awakeners!
"Black Yao, this guy... could he be a Tier 6..."
"The aura of Essence doesn't seem to match, but with this speed and strength, I can't be sure..."
"..."
"Unfortunately, the discussion is over."
Before the two could finish their sentence, Lindsey's cold voice echoed again.
After slaying the Lawkeeper, Lindsey's inner fury burned to ashes, leaving him as silent as his current tone.
Not far away, the Dune group was still fighting other Awakened ones.
Reason told Lindsey that he must now fight quickly and decisively.
Boom! A loud noise echoed, and a shower of rocks tumbled downhill.
Lindsey's figure vanished from his original spot once more.
By the time the two Awakened ones across from him reacted, he had already leaped into the air, brandishing his longsword. The sharp blade glinted with a chilling light, carrying a terrifying force as it slashed towards one of them.
"Black Yao!"
"Get out of the way!"
Blood splattered again.
The Awakened one on the left didn't have time to raise his hand or display his skills.
In the instant his leader's name was shouted, the sword blade also reached his eyes.
But unlike the previous surprise attack, this time, Black Yao unleashed a powerful force.
In the blink of an eye, the Awakened one appeared right in front of him.
He raised his fist and smashed it towards Lindsey's descending sword blade.
Boom! Lindsey, suspended in midair, had nowhere to borrow strength.
As the opponent's fist struck the sword, Lindsey himself tumbled to one side due to the force.
However, the sword blade was already stained with the enemy's blood.
The Awakened one who had faced the Frozen Law earlier now had a deep wound across his chest, visible to the bone. As the flames scorched, Black Yao's desperate attempt to rescue his companion also ended in failure, and he fell to the ground, ceasing to breathe in an instant.
Snap—
Lindsey propped himself up with one hand.
He almost lost his balance, but with a quick turn in the air, he landed steadily and aimed his longsword at the last enemy before him.
However, Lindsey didn't immediately launch a surprise attack. Instead, he spoke in a solemn tone, "You're hiding your strength."
"Your two subordinates are Fourth Phase, but you're not Fifth Phase."
If anyone else had fought Black Yao, they would have felt that the previous punch was unbelievably powerful.
But Lindsey had a unique perception.
Although he couldn't pinpoint the specific branch, he was certain that the punch carried the power of the War School.
A Sixth Phase existence!
"..."
Black Yao didn't immediately respond to Lindsey.
He glanced at the corpses on either side, devoid of any signs of life.
Then, he looked towards the mountain range across the way, where explosions continued to erupt, accompanied by the sounds of battle.
He took a deep breath and extended his hand towards Lindsey, "Sir, I'm unsure of your background."
"But we can talk."
"I joined the Green Swamp not to oppose someone as strong as you. If you wish, I won't rescue those people over there, and I won't fight you. I'll turn around and leave, and we'll never meet again."
"..."
Lindsey remained silent.
He didn't believe a word his enemy said, and his sword pointed unwaveringly at the opponent.
Seeing Lindsey's obvious attitude, Black Yao sighed helplessly.
He grabbed the black robe he was wearing and threw it downhill, and the black covering fluttered away with the gentle breeze.
"Alright, I understand your intention."
Under the sunlight, a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle's stared intently at Lindsey.
Black Yao seemed to be discerning the weaknesses of the enemy before him.
After removing his robe, his broad shoulders and muscular chest were exposed. Each breath seemed to infuse power into his iron-like muscles, and the scars on his clenched fists were both a testament to his strength and his fierce battles with enemies.
"War School - Combat Essence - Fernosen School - Hailong Stonefist."
"Remember, this is the name of the person who will kill you today."
