Chapter 1696: I Chop Myself
The slaughter continued, and Jiangnan, having unleashed his combat skills, seemed to have entered a state of selflessness!
He no longer considered anything superfluous; only one thing remained in his mind!
That was to kill everyone on the battlefield, leaving not a single one alive!
The bloodlight dancing across the battlefield reaped life like the scythe of death itself, mercilessly!
Liu Mang's eyes went wide, his shock beyond measure!
(⊙_⊙) "I thought these muscle freaks were monstrous enough, but who knew that when Boss Nan gets serious, he's even more of a monster than they are!"
"One against thousands, and he's still suppressing them? Is he a meat grinder on the battlefield?"
Every move he made was a finishing blow—did this combo really have to be so smooth?!
Fa Ka Wei's eyelids twitched!
"Time and time again, he shatters my understanding. Does this Southerner even have something called a weakness?"
At this moment, she was even a little glad she had sided with Jiangnan!
Mo Tian couldn't bear to look anymore. Even though they were all Pioneers, having graduated so long ago and frantically carrying out missions outside, facing life and death countless times!
Not only had they failed to catch up, but Jiangnan had left them even further behind?!
It wasn't just Liu Mang and Mo Tian who were stunned; even the muscle freaks were about to lose their minds!
The parasitic species, which had always been invincible, were utterly useless against Jiangnan!
Trying to wear him down with a human wave tactic was nothing short of a pipe dream!
Couldn't this guy ever get tired?!
How could it be so hard to force a parasitic seed into Jiangnan's body? They couldn't even get a single opportunity!
The Thorny Battlefield was Jiangnan's paradise, but for the muscle freaks, it was Yama's Hell!
At this moment, the thugs stopped putting up a futile resistance and instead set their sights on Liu Mang, Keji, and the others!
If I can't handle him, I'll settle for his teammates, right?
Watch me grab your weakness!
While the thug army pinned Jiangnan down, they split off a few hundred muscle freaks and charged toward Liu Mang and the others!
Liu Mang's eyes widened: "What the hell? You think I'm just a pushover?"
"My World: Night That Covers the Sky!"
Countless multicolored lights burst from Liu Mang's mind, forming a dark curtain that blotted out the sky, enveloping all the charging muscle freaks!
The next instant, with a few "ripping" sounds, Liu Mang tore off all his clothes!
No doubt about it—once he shed his clothes, Liu Mang completely vanished from everyone's sight, merging into the darkness!
Mo Tian covered her eyes:
(ﾉ)⌂(ヾ) "Ahh~ you... you pervert!"
Liu Mang rolled his eyes: "What are you calling me for? It's dark anyway—you can't see the details! If you can see anything clearly, I'll lose!"
"Spiritual Link!"
In that instant, everyone's minds were linked through Liu Mang. With a thirty-thousand-meter sensory range, he transmitted all the dynamics of the battlefield into everyone's minds!
They could keep track of every move at all times, and Liu Mang himself conjured a hundred black clones, each wielding a triangular bayonet as they charged forward!
Whenever they found a muscle freak, they stabbed—hilarious! The muscle freaks couldn't even detect where Liu Mang was!
Meanwhile, Mo Tian crossed her arms over her chest!
"Spirit-Returning Light Rain!"
Beams of white light rain fell from above everyone's heads, restoring their spirit!
"Earth Revival! Hymn of Life! Charge Horn!"
Mo Tian frantically unleashed her spiritual skills, and their spiritual power, physical strength, and injuries all recovered wildly. She even added a berserk buff!
Their spiritual power hadn't even been fully used up before it was already replenished!
One could only say that as a recovery specialist, she was truly impressive!
Her healing output was more than sufficient!
Keji nervously stared into the boundless darkness, firmly shielding Fa Ka Wei behind him!
His expression turned serious:
(O･᷅ᴥ･᷄) "Sister Wei, don't be afraid! I'll protect you! With me here, you..."
Before he could finish, Vivian slapped him across the face and shoved him aside!
(꒪ͦε꒪ͦ(#)٩(°᷄益.°᷅ꐦ)
"Get out of here! Who needs your protection? You're a mere Star Glory three—what can you protect me from?!"
With that, she raised her hand: "Blade Storm!"
"A Thousand Cuts!"
She unleashed large-scale metal-type spiritual skills at will. Though she couldn't finish off the muscle freaks like Jiangnan did, she had no trouble defending herself!
The thugs were furious. The entire thug army had already lost over half its numbers. If this continued, they might actually be wiped out by Jiangnan!
Relying on these trash parasitic troops alone was nowhere near enough, and their main bodies still couldn't cross over! Damn it!
"Damn it! Fuse! Merge together and take him down!"
As he spoke, the muscle freaks began breaking through obstacles, madly converging toward one another!
Muscle fusion and reorganization!
At this moment, Jiangnan was about to burst. He had absorbed half the life essence of the thug army!
The volume was so massive that his body simply couldn't contain it anymore!
The Small Whip had been forced all the way to Star Glory two-star peak!
And Jiangnan felt like he could explode at any moment. He even started slashing wildly at himself with his blade!
But the moment the blade passed, the wound would automatically heal the next instant!
This method simply couldn't consume much life essence!
From Jiangnan's chest came a "boom, boom, boom" drumming sound!
That was the sound of his heart exploding. The One Thought Asura had been pushed to its limit. As soon as his heart was repaired, it would explode again, only to be fixed once more!
It was like setting off firecrackers. Yet even so, Jiangnan was still on the verge of being torn apart by the life essence!
While hacking at himself, he cursed angrily!
(ꐦ͡’口͡’) "Can't you do better? Can't you have some ambition? Can't you even draw a little blood from me?"
"I've been fighting this whole time, and my health bar is still full! I don't even get a chance to heal? I have to chop myself?"
"Can you be any more useless? You're such a disappointment! If you're a real man, come hit me!"
[From Thug: Resentment Value +1003!]
[From Thug...]
So he's complaining that I'm not trying hard enough? That I didn't even draw blood?
And he's so anxious that he's chopping himself?
There's no greater insult than this!
Even Liu Mang was dumbfounded!
So you think you're too strong, that the enemy can't even hurt you after all this time, and you haven't lost any health?
And then you kindly help him chop yourself?
Pfft—
Stop showing off, damn it! The lock on Old Wang's iron gate next door has been show-offed to death by you!
The thug army was utterly enraged by the humiliation!
Over a thousand muscle freaks had finally fused completely, turning into a single muscle monster nearly three hundred meters tall!
Despite its enormous size, it could still perfectly control every muscle in its body. Its movement speed was astonishing, its strength terrifying, and it was anything but clumsy!
Even more frightening was that after fusion, the muscle monster could still use the original abilities of its components!
It opened its massive maw, aiming at Jiangnan!
"Die already!"
In an instant, a torrent of spiritual skills smashed down without mercy!
Fireballs, ice spikes, lightning, wind blades—all kinds of attacks converged, nearly blotting out all sight!
Seeing this thing crashing down, Jiangnan was thrilled!
"Finally, something with some punch!"
And so, he spread his arms wide, welcoming the torrent of spiritual skills as his figure was instantly swallowed!
٩(#︶ᗜ︶#)۶
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Mo Tian panicked: (٥ᵒ̴̶̷口ᵒ̴̶̷) "Boss Nan!"
Was he insane?! Why didn't he teleport away? Why charge straight into the enemy's attack?!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Fierce flames shot into the sky, and even the bedrock was blasted up!
Sparks filled the air, lightning raged, and black smoke billowed!
From within the explosion emerged a figure—Jiangnan, his face a mess of blood and flesh!
But after taking only three steps forward, the dense life essence had already fully healed all the injuries Jiangnan had sustained!
Under the influence of the Deadly Green Club, Jiangnan felt no pain at all. Using this method to consume life essence was perfect!
"Boom!"
With a thunderous sound, Jiangnan's level was pushed straight to Diamond ten stars! Countless spirit clouds were drawn in, furiously burrowing into Jiangnan's body!
(￢▿￢#) "Tch—how did your attack even make me level up? You're so useless?"
Mo Tian: ﾞ━=͟͟͞͞(Ŏ口Ŏ‧̣̥̇)
Not only was he completely fine after tanking that torrent of spiritual skills, but he even leveled up a star as if nothing had happened!
Had he ever spent a single second being human?!
I take back everything I just shouted!
Who's the real villain here anyway?!
Now that he'd reached ten stars, Jiangnan was even more suffocated!
Meanwhile, the muscle monster was nearly driven mad! What kind of freak was this guy?!
At this moment, the muscle monster's entire body blazed with dense bloodlight!
Every muscle trembled!
Its massive form actually assumed a sprinter's stance, its leg muscles contracting to their limit!
"Super Muscle Pump!"
"Boom!"
The muscles released instantly, and the ground beneath its feet exploded from the force. The leg muscles even tore from the extreme stretch!
But this provided it with an incredibly powerful thrust!
Its colossal body shot forward like a cannonball skimming the ground, compressing and exploding the air in layers!
It reached Jiangnan almost faster than his limit reaction time!
A punch swung out—a fist as huge as a mountain—heading straight for Jiangnan!
"Take this!"
"Boom!"
The six space barriers that had just been erected were shattered in an instant!
Jiangnan raised his arms to block, but his entire body was crushed flat under the fist. The immense force blasted through!
Ear-splitting sonic booms echoed like thunder as Jiangnan was punched unconscious!
He crashed through three rock mountains in succession, blasted into the ground, and carved a trench several kilometers long!
His internal organs were a tangled mess, but under the effect of the life essence, they were somehow restored to their original state!
Jiangnan got up and spat out a mouthful of old blood, panting heavily!
Damn! That one punch nearly knocked me into the afterlife!
He had underestimated the muscle monster's explosive power. Getting injured was a good way to consume life essence,
but if he wasn't careful, he could easily get himself killed!
Wait a minute! Since he was so stuffed right now, why not just let loose?
With that, he pulled out a can of Nuclear Milk, tilted his head back, and gulped it down!
The muscle monster was about to go insane. After such a punch sent him flying so far, he was still fine—getting up like it was nothing?
And now he was thirsty from the fight and drinking on the spot?
Wait—what was he drinking? Why did it look so familiar?!
Just then, Jiangnan used a mark teleport and appeared right in front of the muscle monster!
His eyes were full of countdowns!
(#⁰²৺⁵⁹#) "This is payback! Art is an explosion!"
"Six-Strike Nuclear Explosion!"
Muscle Monster: !!!
