Chapter 270: Chapter 228: No Martial Virtue (Part 3)

"N—"

A red glint flashed in Zheng Lv’s eyes, but before she could even get a single word out, the thunderous explosion annihilated everything.

The white mist slammed into the thorny bone spikes that were Zheng Lv’s pride and joy.

A dead stop.

For an instant, time seemed to freeze for one-hundredth of a second.

It was Zheng Lv’s full-body bone spike Superpower making a final, desperate stand against this hundred-kilogram rocket-on-a-stick.

But only for one-hundredth of a second.

CRACK! SNAP! CRUNCH!

A dense flurry of sickeningly crisp cracks erupted, adding a gritty edge to the deafening roar.

The incredibly hard bone spikes, the bone armor, the flowing Superpower energy, and the beads of deadly poison dripping from them—all of it was as fragile as a lightbulb under a steamroller before the greatsword’s unreasonable, brutish kinetic energy, instantly exploding into a sky full of white powder!

It was called a sword, but there was no cutting involved.

Just pure, ultimate—classical mechanics.

The white cloud in Lin Fan’s hands shattered the bone spikes and crushed her bony arms. It continued forward without pause, enveloping her entire upper body, sweeping past her bone armor, her chest, and her spine.

[-9999]!

The damage and loot notifications flashed inconspicuously at the bottom of Lin Fan’s vision.

BOOM—!

Like a hurricane tearing through!

All that remained were two long, shapely legs, like a pair of bent chopsticks, pinned to the concrete by several bone spikes and askew to either side. A desolate sight with no words to describe it.

But the terrifying black-and-white cloud’s momentum didn’t wane.

Carrying the lingering vapor cloud with it, it swept sideways and backward like a full moon, howling with annihilating force, straight toward Tao He!

"Again!"

Lin Fan couldn’t be bothered with injecting the greatsword with Sharpness Crystal energy anymore. To control the weapon, he had already switched to the Strength Crystal.

But the Impact Crystal inherent to the greatsword was still active. Seeing the blade sweep past the bone monster without any resistance, Lin Fan pumped more energy into it, activating it again!

The roar returned as the greatsword in his hands suddenly accelerated once more!

Lin Fan even felt like he wasn’t controlling the greatsword anymore; the greatsword was dragging him along.

At this moment, he felt like a combat beyblade, only vaguely able to steer the path of this destructive storm...

This was exactly what he had feared most: if the greatsword went out of control, anything it touched would die instantly.

But right now, he no longer had that psychological burden.

Tao He, who had been targeted at close range, was already riddled with wounds and his clothes were in tatters from the shrapnel of shattered bone sent flying by the greatsword.

He had just snapped out of his shock from Zheng Lv being insta-killed when the terrifying wind pressure blasting toward him felt like a giant, invisible hand clamping down on his mouth and nose, making it hard to even breathe.

’I’m going to die! I’m definitely going to die! Even if I have a hundred types of corrosive venom, even if my venom can melt Hong Chuan to nothing, this giant slab of iron flying at me with a sonic boom doesn’t play by the rules.’

’It’s like you’re a top-tier poison master, but the guy across from you is driving a dump truck at two hundred miles an hour straight at you...’

’Our specializations don’t match up!’

In the final moment before death, an unprecedented will to survive erupted from Tao He. He couldn’t care less about elegance or his image; he violently slammed his palms downward!

"HSSS—"

Two high-pressure water jets shot out from beneath his palms. The immense recoil sent him flying diagonally upward, as pathetic and helpless as a kicked soda can!

BOOM—!

The black-and-white cloud tore past his lower body with a roar.

Caught in the shockwave, his legs were instantly pulverized into a bloody mist of flesh and pulp, then immediately vaporized!

He immediately lost his balance in mid-air and, screaming, plummeted diagonally downward into the rain, tumbling into the pooling water.

Only then did the two Mutated Zombies—or perhaps their master hiding behind the scenes—finally react.

The massive, incredibly burly, and oversized Giant-Armed Zombie, which had been standing silently, finally moved. Like an activated killing machine, it took a sudden step forward and raised its deformed, giant arm high!

[0/20]

Twenty points of energy were instantly drained!

On the giant arm, as thick as a tree trunk, countless purplish-black veins bulged and glowed as if they had been instantly infused with some kind of berserk power.

It brought the arm down on the swirling storm—a brutal, no-frills smash!
