Chapter 270: Chapter 188: Facing Two Enemies Alone, Slaying a Level 5 War God with a Sword_2
The muscles in his arms, lower back, and thighs, as if forged from steel rebar, could shatter the air with every movement; their might was astonishing.
"Daofman... there’s only one Jiang Shu... but there are two of us!"
He wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, but the murderous intent in his eyes still raged uncontrollably. This isn’t the outside world, he thought. Under ten times the gravity, this explosive growth of my body can’t last long. But if I can kill Jiang Shu quickly, it will all be worth it!
He spread his arms and roared. His two fists shot out like cannonballs, erupting into brilliant columns of light that shattered the air, producing sonic booms as they ferociously bombarded Jiang Shu.
Daofman, after a moment’s hesitation, also stepped forward. His legs stretched rapidly like rubber, covering ten meters in a single stride. A sharp knife spun in his palm; he grasped it, and his arm swung out five or six meters, aiming straight for Jiang Shu’s throat. His other hand reached for the Array Plate of the Small Five Elements Saber Formation, attempting to seize the initiative and snatch it.
"Seeking death."
Even in broad daylight, Jiang Shu didn’t immediately return the Array Plate to his Storage Bag. He watched the dazzling pillar of light Kane had unleashed and coldly observed Daofman’s whistling knife and giant hand approach. His sabers were drawn, crossing like twin dragons, easily withstanding Kane’s full-force blast. At the same time, he reached out with one hand, grasping the void, and a shield of Qi materialized.
BANG!
The tip of the knife penetrated the Qi shield by a mere three centimeters before it could advance no further.
Jiang Shu kicked Daofman’s other hand away, and a livid green mark immediately appeared on his palm.
"Jiang Shu, you’re too arrogant! Do you really think you alone can withstand two War Gods like us?"
Daofman withdrew his hand and took another step forward. He glanced at Wang Yan and, seeing Wang Yan still had no intention of intervening, took a deep breath. Every pore on his body began to emit wisps of black fog, engulfing the area where the three of them fought.
Within the black fog, every exchange of blows sounded like rumbling thunder, making Ten Thousand Beasts tremble. Ordinary Mutant Beasts scattered upon hearing the commotion. Yet, at the same time, several powerful presences began to approach.
"Martial Saint Wang Yan, perhaps you should..." A Danjin-Realm Great Grandmaster couldn’t help but speak up, gazing into the black fog with poorly concealed worry in his eyes.
One man fighting two Genetic War Gods... Even if Jiang Shu is strong, he might not come out completely unscathed, he worried.
"A Tier-5 Mutant Beast is approaching! You all leave first. Keep a close eye on those four, avoid engaging them, and prioritize your safety. I will lead that Mutant Beast away." Wang Yan said this after taking a deep breath, not charging into the black fog. For now, I can only trust in Jiang Shu’s strength. Regardless, at this stage, we can’t afford to let a Tier-5 Mutant Beast interfere here.
He drew the nine-section staff from his waist, which merged into one piece. With a twist, a spearhead, chillingly sharp, appeared. His body swept forward, and the fierce momentum of his spear condensed the surrounding air into massive waves, lashing out at the Mutant Beast charging through the jungle!
"Shit. It’s still not over? Two against one..." A Genetic War General couldn’t help but mutter.
None of them dared to make a superfluous move. Ahead, six Danjin-Realm Great Grandmasters were only fifty paces away. Given the explosive power a Danjin-Realm Great Grandmaster could unleash, if any of them made a move, the six Great Grandmasters would undoubtedly surge forward together. The ten of them maintained the tense standoff because everyone knew this battle was fundamentally between the Genetic War Gods and the Gang Jin Martial Saint. Their own victory or defeat was unimportant in the grand scheme.
"Quiet! War God Daofman and War God Kane will definitely win! There’s a saying in Xia Country, ’Pride comes before a fall.’ Jiang Shu is very strong, but he’s too arrogant. He even refused to fight alongside Martial Saint Wang Yan! What’s more, don’t you know about War God Daofman’s abilities?"
"Within the black fog, everyone’s movements slow, and their vision is reduced. Remember, we’re in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, already under ten times normal gravity! Our speed is already hampered compared to the outside world. With the black fog’s additional effects, Jiang Shu won’t be able to exert more than a fraction of his true strength!" This speaker, clearly knowledgeable about Xia Country, declared confidently.
Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement, trying to reassure themselves. That’s all we can hope for, they thought. And indeed, judging by the current situation, their odds of winning did seem greater. A Tier-5 Genetic War God is on the same level as a Gang Jin Martial Saint. Could Jiang Shu really fight two against one and win?
PTUI!
A Danjin-Realm Great Grandmaster spat on the ground, completely disregarding his image. "If Martial Saint Jiang had used that technique he displayed in Fusang earlier," he scoffed, "forget two Genetic War Gods; even if three of them showed up, they’d flee at the mere sight of it!"
"These so-called Gene Soldiers, what are they? Turning themselves into grotesque, inhuman things! Each genetic enhancement is like a descent into the eighteen levels of hell. Only those with no real talent choose that path. Succeed, and you’re barely better off. Fail, and you suffer genetic mutation, unable to even retain your human form! Tell me, what’s the point of living like that?"
"And you dare talk about our Martial Saint Jiang? Believe it or not, it won’t be long before Martial Saint Jiang beats your so-called ’mighty’ Genetic War Gods like dogs!"
"Taking on two opponents is a testament to Martial Saint Jiang’s confidence! To deal with your two so-called War Gods, mere products of genetic mutation, he doesn’t even need to use his full strength!"
...
Interesting,
The sounds of their bickering from outside penetrated the black fog.
Daofman lurked within the fog like a venomous snake, striking at Jiang Shu intermittently, each attack aimed to be fatal.
