Chapter 1862: Chapter 1889: How About We Play a Game?
The City Lord and a group of regulators secretly followed behind.
Witnessing the seventh-ranked squad in action was a stroke of good fortune for them.
The power of laws among regulators was kept secret, and observing firsthand allowed them to gather some information.
“Who would’ve thought we’d encounter an Assassination Squad, good thing we weren’t affected.”
“This mission isn’t easy either, let’s quickly get rid of these jinxes so we can continue earning points.”
The City Lord and the military generals walked at the very back. Although the ones sent for assistance were each more terrifying than the last, at least they were strong, so his city should be safe.
As they reached the city gate, many were taken aback; there was a giant fist mark protruding on the tall iron gate, as if a giant had punched it.
“This is a creature we’ve never seen before!”
“Since when does Bronze Hall have such combat power?”
“This size rivals that of the Giant Spirit Clan.”
Thirty-six regulators exclaimed from the back; they had also crushed several groups of cultivators from the Bronze Hall.
It’s always been human cultivators; it’s their first time encountering something of this size. The ground’s violent trembling just now was likely caused by the giant punching the gate.
“Open the gate.”
Li Xiaobai gave the word, and the nearby guards, trembling, opened the gate. The recent punch had killed quite a few soldiers, leaving an indelible shadow in the guards’ minds.
“Creak.”
The city gate slowly opened.
Four lonely figures stepped out, facing an endless army, a sea of heads stretching as far as the eye could see, and at the forefront was a deformed man.
Not reaching the height of a giant, standing about five to six meters tall, his left hand and legs were normal, but his right hand was absurdly large, about fifteen meters in length and four to five meters wide, the size of a standard Giant Tribe fist.
He was the one who had struck the city gate.
“It seems that any regulator from the organization is not to be underestimated. This scale of enemy forces, yet they could crush several waves, speaks of considerable strength.”
Li Xiaobai remarked, turning to glance at the regulators behind him.
“Even in this remote place, there’s an enemy force of this scale; I imagine the main battlefields of the Flying Immortal Hall are filled with even more experts, the carnage must be quite intense.”
Yu Huan Shui shook his head; this mission wasn’t looking optimistic.
What they didn’t know was that the regulators hiding in the back were just as baffled.
Their strength wasn’t that great, and it was precisely because they weren’t strong enough that they banded together to scavenge. The waves they’d defeated earlier were all remnant forces, the old, weak, sick, and disabled, with barely any in the Immortal Gods Realm.
But compared to before, this enemy was in a different league!
Their numbers were ten times previous, and the oppressive feeling the little giant gave off left them at a loss.
“Could it be that we crushed too many enemies, causing the enemy’s main force to divert some troops to eliminate us?”
“That must be it; it’s a good thing the Assassination Squad arrived, otherwise we’d find it hard to resist.”
“Yes, yes, with them taking the brunt, we can go scavenging at the edge of the battlefield. No matter what, there’s no way those four can handle all of them at once.”
“Scavenge, scavenge!”
“So you are the ones slaughtering Bronze Hall?”
“Who are you?”
The little giant’s deep, booming voice made everyone’s heads buzz.
“Organization enforcement, inspecting the heavens.”
“Your actions are an affront to the organization. Cease fire immediately and return to Bronze Hall to avoid the disaster of extermination.”
Jiang Que said coldly.
Once he declared the organization’s name, his tone was exceptionally arrogant.
The little giant laughed loudly: “Exterminate Bronze Hall, with just you?”
“The so-called inspection of the heavens is just a slogan from that organization, no one recognizes it. The Flying Immortal Domain has already been taken by Bronze Hall, anyone who blocks us, kill!”
The little giant roared, raised his fist, and struck, as the army in bronze armor charged, surging like a tide.
Jiang Que: “Our squad has never failed a mission. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, we will wipe them out; merit points will rely on individual skill.”
Da Jianbi: “That’s the idea; I’ll handle the big guy, the rest of you take care of the others.”
Da Jianbi dodged the little giant’s punch, and the other three were instantly engulfed by the bronze army.
“Your aura is weaker than that person just now, can you stop me?”
Yellow mist faintly rose around the little giant, his momentum escalating steadily.
“You’re from the Giant Tribe, aren’t you?”
“So what if I am?”
“But you’re from the kind of Giant Tribe with incomplete bloodline awakening, which caused your body to be deformed. Typically, those of the Giant Spirit Clan stand over ten meters tall. You’re a failure cast out from the Giant Spirit Clan, which is why you ended up joining the Bronze Hall.”
“This also means you’re just a paper tiger; you’re okay against ordinary cultivators, but you’d immediately [Collapse] against experts since your Giant Spirit Clan bloodline is exceptionally thin, right?”
“And I heard the Giant Spirit Clan has bloodline inheritance, but in your condition, you can’t use the Bloodline Power because the deformity means you’re not a fully-fledged Giant Spirit Clan member, so forcing the use of the Bloodline Power will cause [Backlash] instead, right?”
The little giant was furious, yellow light burst forth around him, and a fierce battle spirit erupted.
“You’re courting death!”
The oversized fist whipped around like a whip; the Giant Spirit Clan specializes in physical prowess, relying on Bloodline Power; the combination of battle spirit and physique can generate tremendous power.
The power of laws is mostly also close-range physical attack methods.
Every punch that landed brought forth a pillar of fire from the ground, molten lava boiling from beneath.
“Similar to that primitive person’s law; fists hitting the ground trigger lava eruptions, is this his law?”
“Is he controlling lava, or is it just a facade, and it’s actually space-type?”
Da Jianbi weaved and dodged constantly, evading the little giant’s massive fists.
His eyes were fixed on the ground’s fist marks, noticing the pits shrinking little by little, indicating the opponent’s power was being affected by his [Maze of Lies] and gradually weakening.
His lies struck home, the big guy was suffering backlash from his own Bloodline Power.
Everyone has a point of insecurity deep down, and he only needed to exploit this to effortlessly make the lie a reality.
Perhaps the little giant could fully utilize his power, with no side effects, but as a deformed Giant Spirit Clan joining other sects for profit, the orthodox Giant Spirit Clan Bloodline Power was his Achilles heel.
Watching the opponent still relentlessly attacking without fear, Da Jianbi’s eyes glinted with disdain: “It seems even his brain is deformed; he hasn’t realized his issues.”
“I heard the Giant Spirit Clan are born warriors who tackle any adversity relying on their own strength.”
“Yet you joined Bronze Hall, indicating you’ve accepted that you’re not of the true bloodline, you’ve resigned yourself, you [No Courage] to breakthrough adversity, right?”
“You’re a coward, deep down a [Coward], correct?”
Da Jianbi’s evasive maneuvers subtly slowed, matching the little giant’s punches, keeping a consistent dodge rhythm, leaving the big guy oblivious.
“I’m going to kill you!”
“Once I catch you, brace yourself to be torn apart!”
The little giant raged, his eyes bloodshot, charging like an enraged bull, yet failing to hit Da Jianbi.
Slowly, he began noticing something was off; this wasn’t his full power, his true strength should be faster, stronger, and more ferocious.
Especially the power of laws, which ought to erupt with volcanic force, now it seemed like a fountain, thin and long, lacking lethality.
Little giant: “What have you done to me?”
Da Jianbi smiled: “Poison, I used poison, in another hour you’ll die!”
The little giant checked himself, finding no poison, and snorted: “Nonsense.”
“If it was easy for you to discover, would it still be called poison?”
“But I respect you, you’re a warrior, so before you [Poison Fatality], how about we trade blows as a game?”
“We take turns hitting each other without moving, whoever can’t hold out loses. If you win, I’ll let you. If not, well, you have [One Dead End].”
