Chapter 280: Force vs. Golden Patterns, Physical Body vs. Demon Gold (Part 2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The scattered saber aura formed a dense and intricate web of sabers.
Endless golden light scattered in all directions, and the entire world seemed to transform into a mountain of sabers in a golden sea!
Tang Chongye went all out, and his power was truly shocking!
However, his shocking power was no match for Lu Ming’s mysterious and unpredictable tactics.
It could be seen that in the midst of the pervasive saber web, a ferocious giant shadow suddenly rushed forward!
Occasionally, his body would release bursts of airflow, driving his body to dodge sideways.
At times, his body would change shape like noodles, sliding past the oncoming saber edges by a hair’s breadth.
In just an instant, the two sides had exchanged attacks and defenses hundreds of times.
Similarly, in a flash, Lu Ming had already covered a distance of more than 10,000 meters and reached Tang Chongye!
It’s my turn! Iron Lump!”
Leaping into the air, Lu Ming clenched his fist, and in mid-air, he faced Tang Chongye, and said with a sinister smile.
Tang Chongye, however, remained unfazed and just sneered in response.
“Close combat? Do you think my Demon Gold body is afraid of your flesh and blood?!”
His saber-like golden right arm swept up and slashed at Lu Ming’s neck.
A “clang” sound echoed.
The fist collided with the saber.
Both of them froze for a moment.
As clear ring-shaped force waves rippled, the momentary pause quickly gave way to an even faster collision between the two!
Lu Ming primarily used punches and kicks as his main attacking method because he mainly cultivated fist techniques.
Tang Chongye, on the other hand, excelled in saber techniques.
This was because saber techniques allowed him to bring out the full potential of demon gold!
The air, compressed to the point of liquefaction by the force of Lu Ming’s punches, burst behind him, producing a series of massive ring-shaped shockwaves. His fists and feet were like bombs, and coupled with the dual special effects of Annihilation Explosion and High Speed Fist, Lu Ming’s outburst of power at this moment was terrifying to the extreme.
However, in the face of such a terrifying attack, Tang Chongye chose the most direct and robust way of confrontation —only attack but not defend!
That’s right. How could my Demon Gold Body be afraid of your flesh and blood body?
With the defense of my Demon Gold Body, all I needed to do is to cut you a thousand times before you tear me apart. Then, the winner of this battle can be easily determined!
A continuous series of “dong, dong, dong” sounds rang out.
This was the sound of Lu Ming’s fist colliding with the demon gold body!
It was like the sound of striking metal with a forging hammer merged into a piercing noise.
The tremendous noise even drowned out the chaos in Archean City, as if it had become the only sound in the world at that moment.
However, Tang Chongye, who bore the brunt of the ferocious blows, remained unperturbed.
Striking metal?
“This body of mine is made of demon gold after being forged thousands of times. Why would I fear the strikes of an iron hammer?
He raised his large saber high and began to accumulate strength.
The golden patterns on Tang Chongye’s right hand began to flicker, but dimmed after just a tenth of a second.
In contrast, the golden saber shone even brighter, like a rising sun!
“Die!”
With a shout, the golden saber light explosively surged!
Therefore, the light of the sun bloomed here. This extremely compressed strike released all its energy as it slashed.
As though there were substantial saber aura, it instantly displaced all the air, creating a brief vacuum between the two of them.
An eerie suction force surged from the edge of the saber, actually causing Lu Ming’s body to involuntarily lean towards the saber!
The saber edge was getting closer and closer! In just an instant, it reached Lu Ming’s forehead!
A dull thud resounded.
The massive saber light instantly streaked across Lu Ming’s body and shot towards a distant mountain, actually blasting the hundred-meter-tall mountain into flat ground on the spot.
“It’s over…”
At the side, Esek made this judgment.
Although he did not see it frame by frame, Esek knew the effect of Tang Chongye’s strike.
The saber light streaked across the middle of Lu Ming’s body and the residual force even shattered the distant small mountain. This meant that Lu Ming’s body was like a piece of paper that had been torn into two. Being split into two was Lu Ming’s only possible outcome.
He did feel a little regretful… After all, Lu Ming was quite talented and he could get along with him.
“It’s a pity, little brother, it seems that I’m truly lacking in strength.”
After sighing, Esek began to look for an escape route, but he did not expect to hear Lu Ming’s somewhat sinister voice.
“You… can’t do it…”
“You really can’t do it!”
“Combat skills, combat experience, and even combat instincts, are all far too inferior!”
“You’re just a boorish man with strength but no skills!”
Esek’s gaze returned to the battlefield.
He saw that Lu Ming’s body had indeed been split into two.
However, Lu Ming, who had been cut into two, strangely still stood on the spot. Upon closer inspection, he could see that although Lu Ming had been split into two, the wounds on his body did not resemble saber marks… but more like the result of a self-induced separation!
Opposite Lu Ming, Tang Chongye raised his eyebrows and recalled the strange change in Lu Ming’s figure when he dodged the saber web just now.
A trace of enlightenment appeared in his mind.
He dodged my saber light by splitting his body into two…
As soon as this thought emerged, Tang Chongye was about to continue his attack.
However, Lu Ming did not give him any more opportunities!
Or perhaps it could be said that the momentary pause after Tang Chongye’s strike allowed Lu Ming the perfect opportunity for a counterattack!
And for a master of combat techniques like Lu Ming, once he gained the upper hand, he would not give his opponent any chance to turn the tables!
His body, split into two, began to twist like a snake and, like ropes, instantly entwined around Tang Chongye’s body!
A terrifying low growl echoed in Tang Chongye’s ears.
“I told you, it’s my turn.”
“So, from now on, it’s all my turn!”
In the next second, hundreds and thousands of beast heads with a diameter of only about ten centimeters sprouted from various parts of Lu Ming’s body and instantly gnawed at every part of Tang Chongye’s body!
Before the use of tools, human teeth were the most powerful weapons of humans.
In his Desperate State, Lu Ming resembled a wild beast!
His teeth were undoubtedly sharper than those of most exotic beasts, and even surpassed divine weapons!
Fists and kicks indeed had little effect on Tang Chongye, given the formidable defensive capabilities of his Demon Gold Body.
In that case, since fists and kicks were useless, how about using my teeth!?
The answer was revealed at that very moment.
The sound of “grinding” began to echo.
Under Lu Ming’s powerful bite force, even the demon gold began to deform!
Hundreds and thousands of teeth marks brought about hundreds and thousands of deformities.
What was even more insidious was that Lu Ming’s teeth also had the additional effect of Annihilation Explosion.
Tiny annihilation explosions occurred one after another, with each friction of the sharp teeth, slowly eroding away the demon gold bit by bit!
In the blink of an eye, Tang Chongye was ravaged!
“Roar!”
A painful and angry roar came from Tang Chongye’s mouth.
His body quickly changed, and sharp barbs grew from the surface of his body, as if he intended to break free from Lu Ming’s restraints in this way.
But it was futile!
How could Lu Ming, in his form as a giant python, easily let go of his tightly bound prey?
Some of the barbs were crushed by Lu Ming on the spot. Some of the barbs were able to elude Lu Ming during his transformation, but most of them were directly withstood by Lu Ming’s flesh and blood.
Piercing and wounds.
Numerous injuries appeared, and crimson blood began to splatter.
Lu Ming’s twisted and ferocious body began to be injured.
However, with his powerful regenerative abilities, these injuries, which could be considered minor compared to Lu Ming, would heal in no time after appearing.
Rolling and biting!
It was like the death roll of a crocodile.
The continuous rolling and entanglement not only strengthened Lu Ming’s biting force, but also allowed him to continuously shift his weight to disrupt Tang Chongye’s attempts to exert force and suppress his counterattacks!
The earth rumbled.
Lu Ming was like a behemoth.
Tang Chongye was nothing but a stubborn lump of iron.
The two were entangled, rolling, and a large amount of force was being discharged by Lu Ming, in a controlled manner, into the earth.
It was like a flimsy small bed of worrying quality that could not withstand the passionate lovemaking of a couple.
Cracking, breaking, and dust filled the air.
For a moment, it seemed like a sandstorm was slowly rising.
The entrance of Esek became the last straw that broke Tang Chongye’s back.
“Brother, let me help you!”
After a short rest, Esek’s golden pattern power had fully recovered..
