Chapter 96: Double Kill! Hidden Enemies!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Booms unceasingly sounded.

The arrows that Luo Xingyao fired collided with the Blood Ray Arrows, destroying each other.

Luo Xinghe and the others—covered by Luo Xingyao’s firepower—continued to move in the Fallen Centaur’s direction.

Link—who was right at the front—was already engaged in combat with the pigman butcher, who was like a mountain of flesh.

The huge executioner’s sword slashed down, and a glaring sword glow flew out from the sword’s blade as if it wanted to tear the universe apart!

Link had no fear; he went forth and met the attack head-on with the [King’s Sword] in hand!

The [Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] was instantly launched!

Streaks of piercing sword energy burst from the edge of the sword, circling and dancing!

Link’s white robes flapped like an ancient immortal arriving in the mortal world; his presence was extraordinary!

The rays of the swords collided, and sparks flew in all directions!

With every strike that was swung out, the [King’s Sword] tore through the air, bringing terrifying howls of the wind!

Link actually forced the meat mountain-like pig figure to retreat repeatedly.

That raging sword energy even scored multiple cuts on the pigman butcher’s large body!

Thick yellow-colored liquid surged out of the pigman butcher’s wounds as if there were also large amounts of fat mixed in with the blood.

The pigman butcher’s expression turned slightly dazed. Inside the pair of small eyes—hidden within layers of fat meat—a speck of surprise flashed through. The surprise then turned into madness and rage!

Clearly, the pigman butcher hadn’t actually expected his attack to be blocked by a Stage Three human! So much so that the other party even forced the pigman butcher to the point where he had no choice but to back up!

This made the pigman butcher exasperated!

The pigman butcher desperately wanted to chop off the head of this negligible human before its eyes, then chew him into pieces!

“I’ll kill you!” A howl—like the crash of thunder—came from the pig mouth that was full of fangs; it made one horrified!

A blood-red sword ray—several feet long—shrouded an increasingly frightening might and came slashing towards Link’s head!

Indistinctly, the sword ray seemed to turn into many warped ghost faces—these were the faces of the people that the pigman butcher had killed. Today, their souls had boosted his strength instead!

Link’s gaze was sharp; he went into a charging posture, armed with his sword.

[Holy Charge]!

Brilliant golden light burst out of Link’s body like a gold-colored ocean.

The scarlet sword ray—which came slashing toward Link—was directly stopped by the golden light, unable to hurt him in the slightest!

This was the invincibility state that one entered during the charging process.

Link was like an unbreakable gold sword; his presence was mighty and unstoppable!

Boom!

The meat mountain-like pigman butcher was directly sent flying, blowing up billowing smoke and dust!

Link did not hesitate at all, slashing down multiple streams of sword energy in quick succession!

Pu pu!

A thick yellow liquid flew out in all directions; the pigman butcher was covered in crisscrossed wounds, and had even lost one of his arms. However, the Fallen Butcher truly had a lot of health and thick skin.

If the Fallen Butcher had been an ordinary Stage Four monster, he would’ve long died under Link’s sword!

The pigman monster’s eyes were crimson red. After getting up from the ground, he actually gave up on fighting Link and turned to pounce at Xue Linglong—who was at the side.

The pigman butcher had already understood that the strongest person among this group of people was this young man before him.

Link was a tough nut that would break its fangs! Although the Fallen Butcher was mad, he was no fool. He knew that killing the other nobodies first would be better!

Xue Linglong, Luo Xingyao, and Luo Xinghe were originally fighting with the centaur.

The pigman butcher’s violent crash instantly upset these few people’s coordination, catching them off-guard!

“Be careful!” yelled Luo Xinghe, and he leaped forward with his sword.

But how could the Stage Four Fallen Butcher’s strength be something he could match?

Even though Luo Xinghe was the [Silvermoon Sword Emperor], he was still helpless due to the great disparity in attributes!

Blade and blade collided.

With an explosive sound, Luo Xinghe was sent flying backward!

The pigman butcher’s eyes were crimson, and another strike was harshly thrust at Xue Linglong’s waist!

“Die!” roared the butcher; his face was filled with harshness and excitement!

Luo Xingyao hurriedly drew her bow, but it was too late!

Xue Linglong’s pretty face was covered in frost. In such a crisis, she wasn’t flustered in the slightest; she still thrust her spear swiftly and fiercely.

Ice power gathered, and a frosty lotus flower bloomed at the tip of her spear. Yet, it was unable to stop the butcher’s longsword!

Boom!

The ice lotus broke; the sword edge was about to hit, and the terrifying hostility and blast pressure had already enveloped Xue Linglong!

A splendid, golden sword ray suddenly emerged at this critical moment!

Link had arrived!

The golden ray directly shattered the longsword in the butcher’s hands! A huge pig head also flew up high with it!

Before everyone could catch their breaths, the pigman butcher body—which had lost its head—swelled like a balloon.

The body was massive like a mountain of flesh to begin with. Presently, it had an even more gruesome appearance!

“Retreat,” ordered Link in a low voice.

Xue Linglong and company quickly moved back.

Boom!

The pigman butcher—which had swelled to the maximum—actually exploded like a cannonball!

There was now a gigantic, deep pit on the ground.

The thick yellow liquid—which had shot in all directions—actually had a corroding effect. It now corroded the ground, releasing a terrible stench!

Shoo shoo!

The sound of wind being pierced was heard!

The Fallen Centaur did not feel the slightest degree of sorrow regarding his companion’s death. His attack arrived in a flash!

Streaks of blood-red rays tore through the air, flying directly toward Link’s head!

Additionally, the Fallen Goblin—which had not been seen since the start of the battle—suddenly appeared beside Yang Xuerou. His target was evidently this weak Priest!

“Sweet-tasting blood and fresh soul; it makes one intoxicated!”

Amidst the sharp laughter, the goblin’s paw swung down, bringing out offensive black claws.

If this attack were to land, even a Stage Four top powerhouse would be dismembered instantly!

A cold glint flashed through Link’s eyes, and his figure instantly vanished.

This was the [Ring of Teleportation]’s active skill—[Instant Teleport]!

The Blood Ray Arrow that came shooting toward Link missed. When Link appeared once more, the [King’s Sword] in his hand burst out with brilliant golden light!

[Rage of the Holy Sword]!

The goblin’s eyes were wide; his hideous and bony face was covered in terror! However, he could no longer dodge!

“No!” A piteous shriek sounded!

The [King’s Sword] slashed down!

This Fallen Goblin was directly ripped apart by the sword ray. Its body became tattered, and blood—mixed with body parts—spattered!

Presently, the world seemed to stop when this scene occurred!

Silence—

Within brief moments, Link killed two Stage Four monsters in a row!

Even the Fallen Centaur’s brain—which was filled with madness—also sensed fear!

A chill rose as if about to freeze his fallen soul!

Yang Xuerou, Xue Linglong, and the others were all shocked. They then had agitated looks, feeling extremely exhilarated!

When following such a figure, would they have to worry about having no future in this apocalyptic world?

Luo Xinghe bravely charged toward the Fallen Centaur once more as if he’d just drank dragon blood.

There was only one enemy left in their sights. Hence, Link stood beside Yang Xuerou and did not act.

Given the capabilities of Luo Xingyao, Xue Linglong, and company, they were enough to handle the situation at hand.

Although the centaur was a Stage Four monster, the few of them possessed hidden professions as well. Their combat abilities far surpassed the average Stage Three powerhouse.

Killing enemies above their level was dangerous, but this situation was also to sharpen themselves. Link did not keep good-for-nothings.

Link silently stood with his sword, waiting for the remaining three enemies to appear.

All of a sudden, a strange, obscure chant sounded.

The atmosphere of the scene changed right away!
