Chapter 78: Spring and Autumn Sword Technique! God of Killing Arrives!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The searing attack had yet to come, but the strong howling wind was already suffocating!
Graveness, even fear, showed on the faces of the survivors on Link’s side!
Under this mighty punch, they instantly seemed to become a small boat beneath the infinite and magnificent sea. They could only tremble and sway!
Link merely wore a look of indifference on his face.
“Lord, be careful.” With a soft call, Xue Linglong was about to go forward with the [Spear of the Frosty Moon] in hand. However, the radiant holy light had already lit up!
“Holy Light Blessing.” Yuna’s delicate yell sounded.
A gold-colored light screen—similar to a waterfall that poured from the zenith—appeared in front of Link!
The fist shadow with terrifying might—enough to blow apart an ordinary Stage Three Evolver—collided with the light screen!
Boom!
Smoke and dust surged! However, the all-conquering fist shadow did not puncture the light screen this time. Instead, it crumbled before the light screen!
Link continued standing still, his figure tall and lean like a spear that pointed right to the sky!
“This...” Quite a number of World Society’s Evolvers drew in a cold breath, surprise showing on their faces! They had witnessed their own President’s might before!
He was the heir of ancient martial arts. Together with his martial arts skills, Feng Haotian was practically an unmatched existence amongst his peers of the same level!
Today, it was their first time seeing their President... unable to defeat an enemy after throwing a punch!
“Oh, you’re a Summoner! This summoned creature is interesting.” Feng Haotian narrowed his eyes, a dangerous gleam flashing across them. He felt rather embarrassed, and the killing intent in his heart shot up all the more!
Feng Haotian was about to strike once more to kill the fellow in front of him. However, Monopoly’s leader, Zhang Rongjiu—who was at the side—ditched the woman in his arms and launched an attack at Link first!
“Rascal, the City Building Token is in your hands, isn’t it!? Go and die then! Pillar of Garrote, penetrate him!” Zhang Rongjiu snarled, and a staff—which radiated brilliant gold light—appeared in his hands.
Zhang Rongjiu was a [Mage]. His awakened profession was a Gold-grade hidden profession, [Protector of the Earth]!
Following the wielding of the gold-colored staff, an extremely vast aura shook the air!
In an instant, the sound of sand and soil breaking sounded!
Crack, crack.
Hideous, conical stone pillars—covered with barbs—suddenly appeared from the ground! Every stone pillar glowed with a muddy-yellow brilliance. This was the earth attribute’s might radiating!
Each and every stone pillar pointed towards Link, extremely fierce as they sought to penetrate and nail him to the ground!
The corners of Zhang Rongjiu’s mouth lifted, revealing a hideous smile as if he had already seen the upcoming splendid image!
But, Link also moved. The [Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] was launched instantly.
Streaks of resplendent sword energy unrolled right there, and piercing sword intent immediately filled the world!
At this moment, everything in the universe seemed to lose its color, becoming grayish-white!
Before everyone’s eyes, there was only the man’s unmatched, powerful figure and the sword!
Link had the grace of a startled swan, yet he was also utterly cold and withering!
It was as if the mighty sword energy was going to rip the sky apart—its momentum was apodictic!
Boom!
A roar exploded out as if it were about to tear people’s ear membranes!
The stone pillars—which ruthlessly flew toward Link—all crumbled under the sword energy! The stone pillars—which radiated the earth attribute’s might—turned into flying gravel without even touching the edges of Link’s clothes!
In the crowd’s eyes, this scene was like a miracle!
One had to know that Link was only a Stage Three, Level 1 existence currently, and he was also a Summoner!
An ordinary Stage Three powerhouse was absolutely no match when faced with a Stage Four powerhouse! It was all the more so for Summoners—whose bodies were frail—since they relied on their summoned creatures to oppose enemies!
Unexpectedly, the man before them was actually this tyrannical!
A man and a sword—unsurpassed talent and grace!
Many Evolvers were all wide-eyed, wearing looks of shock!
Zhang Rongjiu had even frowned. His fat face shook, revealing some hints of surprise!
Presently, Link’s body radiated a bright gold brilliance once more! Like a gold-colored ocean, it poured out from all over him!
“[Holy Charge]!” Link was like a matchless gold sword. After destroying the stone pillars, he continued to advance forward boldly!
“Courting death!” Zhang Rongjiu was instantly enraged. This fellow broke my skill and is even charging towards me instead of escaping for his life. An insignificant Stage Three Evolver really thinks he can shake me?
“Earth Coffin!” As Zhang Rongjiu’s words fell, the skill was launched.
Streams of muddy-yellow energy gathered around Link like multiple yellow palms—they wanted to bury and envelop him!
But when [Holy Charge] was in process, Link was immune to all damage and crowd control!
Those muddy-yellow palms that grabbed at Link couldn’t touch him at all. They were bounced back by the ocean-like gold light!
“How is this possible?” The corners of Zhang Rongjiu’s eyes twitched. It was his first time encountering this situation!
However, the [King’s Sword] had already arrived!
Boom!
Zhang Rongjiu was directly sent flying, but blood wasn’t seen spurting.
The sound of metals clashing reverberated in the air!
Through Zhang Rongjiu’s torn clothes, the gloss of metal was visible. His body had been mechanically modified before!
This was his bonus of investing in a tech company. It was also his capital to stand firm in the apocalypse’s early days!
“Good lad! If it weren’t because more than 70% of my body had been mechanically modified, wouldn’t I have been fooled by you?” Zhang Rongjiu’s curses sounded. He abruptly turned around and was just about to release magic. However, he discovered that he’d been silenced!
As Zhang Rongjiu swung his staff, he was actually unable to connect with the powers of the earth!
This was precisely the effect of [Holy Charge]!
Link couldn’t be bothered to pay Zhang Rongjiu any attention. The [King’s Sword] was raised high.
With a swift and fierce coercion, Link slashed!
[Rage of the Holy Sword]!
All of a sudden, the gold-colored radiance on the King’s Sword surged like roaring gold flames that spread. It sought to set the universe on fire!
Puchi!
A ripping noise sounded!
Mages, just like Summoners—other than a few hidden professions—also had weak bodies!
Although Link was only at Stage Three, his attribute screen was far beyond what his peers at the same level could compare to!
This strike directly ripped apart Zhang Rongjiu’s neck!
Scarlet red blood spurted out like red satin!
A head flew right up and tumbled to the ground!
Till death, both Zhang Rongjiu’s eyes remained wide open as if completely unable to believe that he—a Stage Four top powerhouse—was actually defeated in the hands of a Stage Three Summoner!
Silence—
The surroundings immediately fell into dead silence!
Everyone was so shocked by the scene in front of their eyes that they could not speak! It seemed like countless thunderbolts were landing on their heads, making them tender with a crispy crust.
Their minds were completely blank!
A Stage Four powerhouse died on the spot—that was a top expert at the present stage!
The expressionless youth was like a peerless God of Killing; he was fearsome!
Only after a few moments had passed did exclamations sound!
“How is this possible!”
“Damn! Isn’t that rascal a Summoner? How can a Summoner—who is supposed to have a fragile body—be this ferocious?!”
“Gang Leader... Gang Leader is a Stage Four powerhouse, yet he was actually killed in close combat by a Stage Three Summoner?!”
...
Among the cries of astonishment, World Society’s President and Thunder Palace’s Lord—Feng Haotian and Zhu Tianyang—had extremely ghastly expressions on their faces.
Link only lifted his long sword slowly, his face aloof as always. “Next.”
