Black Book

Chapter 397: Not Hot Enough
On the other side, Hongjila, who suffered heavy damage again, looked resentfully at the black-clothed youth in the sky and let out a sharp roar.

"go!"

Beep, beep, beep~
Several captains blew the horns in unison, and the Centaur army, whose morale had already collapsed, turned around and fled, leaving behind only a mess of scorched earth.

At the same time, Hongjila swallowed the dirty blood in his mouth, and the golden knife in his hand burst into a bright flame like the sun.

"The golden bloodline blessed by the Eternal Heaven, the master of the world..."

Amidst the self-hypnotic murmurs, the whole world responded to Hongjila's call. Endless power was injected into his body out of thin air. Golden flames emanated from his eye sockets, reflecting the golden knife in his hand.

Realizing that the enemy was recovering quickly and accumulating strength, Zhu Haomiao swung his sword, not giving him any chance at all. He leaned forward slightly and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

【Telepathy】

The next second, the young man in black appeared in front of Hongjila as if he had teleported, and the energy in his body surged like a sea tide.

【Layer Power·Raging Waves】

【Penetrating Power·Thunderstrike】

【Armor-piercing Strength·Invincible】

The triple extraordinary power was injected into the eight-sided Han sword in his hand, condensing into a dark edge with high-frequency vibrations.

There was a sharp pain between his eyebrows, and Hongjila had no time to adjust his state of mind, so he could only hastily chop out the golden knife in his hand.

when!
The swords collided, and the materialized energy rubbed violently, exploding into countless dazzling golden thunders that flickered.

Golden arcs of electricity surged all around their bodies. The two men who were fighting at close range looked at each other, and terrifying divine flames bloomed in their pupils.

The only difference is that one is as brilliant and hot as liquid gold, while the other is as dark and gloomy as the abyss.

After a brief stalemate, Zhu Haomiao raised the corner of his mouth in a ferocious arc, and shook the black eight-sided Han sword in his hand fiercely, crushing the resistance without any fancy moves.

bang~
With a sound like the shattering of glass exploding, the golden sword's energy shattered and exploded, and an alien supernatural power flowed into Hongjila's body along the blade, causing him to vomit blood and fly backwards.

boom!
A straight ray of light smashed through a small earth slope more than ten meters high, plowing a deep gully hundreds of meters long and seven or eight meters wide on the ground, and only stopped when it hit the solid granite mountain.

[Strength] +20
On the other side, Zhu Haomiao walked towards the enemy slowly with a smile on his face, breathing slowly and adapting to the stolen power.

A few hundred meters away, Hongjila was embedded in the center of a radial stone pit with a diameter of more than ten meters. Light golden blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his body was cut by the [Pimi] Qi, leaving dense and hideous gaps like a baby's mouth, as if he had suffered the torture of Lingchi.

However, the physical injuries were not fatal. What really caused him pain was the strange energy that was constantly vibrating in his body.

These alien energies that were running around like electric currents made his bones and muscles numb, and his whole body twitched uncontrollably. He was unable to muster the energy to restore his strength.

Watching the terrifying young man in black slowly approaching, Hongjila gritted his teeth, stood up, raised the golden sword and took a defensive stance.

Looking at the enemy covered in blood, Zhu Haomiao raised the corner of his mouth as if smiling, lightly tapped his toes, and flashed to the side of Hongjila without warning.

shuh~
Following his fighting instinct, Hongjila blocked the attack with his backhand and accurately stopped the chopping sword.

However, the brutal and violent force directly crushed the defense, and the man and the sword were chopped away together.

boom!
Amidst the earthquake, a small hill was broken in half, and the shattered rocks seemed to have exploded from the inside, shattering and disintegrating in an instant.

[Body] +20
Propping himself up from the rubble and looking at the black-clothed young man whose breath was getting stronger and stronger, Hongjila, who was in desperate situation, finally confirmed that his power had been stolen and transferred to the enemy. A hint of fear surged in his proud heart.

What kind of magic is this?
The more you fight, the weaker you become, but the enemy becomes stronger!

Even with the power of heaven and earth, he could not see the dawn of victory.

What was even more terrifying was that he felt that the enemy did not seem to be using his full strength, as if he was hiding some trump card. Thinking of this, Hong Jila could not help but want to retreat, and his mind was racing.

The next second, the young man in black turned into a shadow and flashed in front of him again, and the eight-sided Han sword in his hand chopped down like a divine punishment.

This time, Hongjila, who had been mentally prepared, did not resist. He held up the golden sword with both hands to block the sword, jumped back with all four hooves, and used his cleverness to fly backwards along the enemy's force.

shuh~
The weak touch felt like hitting cotton. Zhu Haomiao watched Hong Jila turn around in mid-air and flee like a wild horse, then slowly stopped.

Zhu Haomiao gently swung the sword and loosened his five fingers. The majestic and magnificent eight-sided Han sword turned into flames and merged into his body, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Why did you let him go?"

A burly and strong young man appeared behind the young man in black, looked at the direction where Hongjila left, and asked puzzledly.

Turning his head to glance at Huaixu who looked puzzled, Zhu Haomiao smiled slightly.

"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The heat is not yet high enough..."

Looking at the strange and meaningful smile of the young man in black, Huaixu inexplicably thought of the prison cell sealed with thick steel bars and cement, and the horrific source of pollution in the gray and silent place.

Huaixu felt a chill on his back and vaguely understood something. He lowered his head and nodded, not daring to look directly at the boy's smile.

On the other side, unaware of Huaixu's emotions, Zhu Haomiao slowly exhaled and took a step forward.

"Although the enemy's main force has collapsed, it has not suffered any serious damage. We cannot give them a chance to catch their breath."

"Yes."

"The vanguard troops will speed up their sweep, compress their movement space, and drive them towards Tianxiong Pass!"

Hearing this, Huaixu hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

"What about the ones that slipped through the net? Many of the Adventers from Third Brother's family have gone back to reality."

"Leave it to the follow-up troops. The new troops from the last few states should be arriving soon."

"If an ordinary army were to fight against the Adventers, the casualties would probably be huge..."

Hearing Huaixu's concerns, Zhu Haomiao pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"With the two quick success methods I created, the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers will not be weaker than that of ordinary Adventers. The only ones we need to pay attention to are the elites..."

Having said that, the young man in black snapped his fingers and called out softly.

"Qiaolan."

"I'm here."

At some point, a pretty and slender woman walked up to the two men and bowed respectfully to Zhu Haomiao.

Looking at the twisted flame-like mark between Mu Qiaolan's eyebrows and her pupils that were wriggling and spinning like a sea of ​​blood, Huai Xu felt an inexplicable chill.

That is not fear on the physical level, but an instinctive reaction from the depths of the soul.

It was as if he was not facing a specific person, but a personified entity of some extreme negative emotions.

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao was completely unaware of Huai Xu's fear and whispered instructions to Mu Qiaolan.

"I have a mission for you. In the occupied area that has been cleared by the vanguard army, you will lead a group of people to hunt down the fish that have escaped the net."
