My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

When Hunter Axe heard that the little guy recognized him, he was also taken aback.

Yin Xue was now hovering beside Lin Mo.

His blood-red eyes narrowed slightly as he looked the hunting axe up and down, a hint of reminiscence on his face.

"Tsk, I heard this name about 80 years ago. He was a teammate of a hero. I remember that hero's team was quite troublesome back then. I didn't expect to run into him here."

Lin Mo frowned.

Even Yin Xue in his prime found him troublesome; how strong must he be now?

Hunter Axe, carrying his giant axe, had his fierce fighting spirit replaced by a hint of surprise.

He looked at Yin Xue with interest: "Oh? You actually know me... but I don't remember the weak."

Seeing his expression, Yin Xue was furious: "Who are you calling weak?! I could have crushed you with a single finger back then!"

Hunter Axe snorted coldly, ignoring Yin Xue, and locked his gaze back on Lin Mo.

The terrifying pressure that had just eased slightly came crashing down again like a mountain.

Without warning, without any build-up of power.

The heavy black iron axe felt as light as a feather in his hands, transforming into a black arc of light that tore through the air as it cleaved down towards Lin Mo!

Quickly! And heavily!

Before the axe blade even arrived, the sheer, pure wind pressure had already carved a shallow trench into the ground.

The air around Lin Mo seemed to solidify into an iron plate.

Lin Mo's pupils contracted slightly, and instead of retreating, he advanced!

The red light of the [Killing Domain] beneath his feet suddenly contracted and condensed into the black sword.

Instead of confronting it head-on, he twisted his body like a ghost the instant the axe wind was about to hit him.

The black sword narrowly missed the axe blade, then slashed diagonally, aiming straight for the hunter axe's unprotected ribs!

This is a battle of speed and precision!

"what?"

The hunter axe let out a slightly surprised groan, and the giant axe, which had been cleaving through the air, suddenly stopped its downward momentum as if defying inertia.

His thick arm muscles bulged, and the axe handle moved strangely horizontally, blocking the black sword's thrusting path with the precision of a door panel.

clang--!!!

A deafening, teeth-grinding clang of metal clashing exploded!

The point of impact exploded into a visible white shockwave, instantly shattering the branches and leaves of trees within a radius of several meters!

Lin Mo felt an unparalleled force coming from the sword, his tiger's mouth went numb, and he was involuntarily forced back three steps.

Each step left a deep footprint on the ground.

Hunter Axe swayed slightly, and the ground beneath his feet cracked like a spiderweb.

His gaze toward Lin Mo shifted from surprise to intense interest, and he grinned.

"You've got real strength! Let's try again!"

In the hands of the hunter, the giant axe is no longer a cumbersome weapon, but rather an extension of his arm.

Chop, hack, smash, sweep.

Each strike carried the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, without any fancy moves.

However, he honed his strength, speed, and combat skills to the extreme.

The axe wind howled, stirring up rubble and dust, turning the battlefield into a raging field.

Lin Mo concentrated his mind to the limit.

He abandoned any idea of ​​taking shortcuts.

Against such a purely overwhelming opponent, any extra techniques are superfluous.

He made the most of the high agility and combat intuition that the attribute points he had allocated.

The black sword transformed into a dense, dark light, deftly parrying each heavy axe blow.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The dense impact sounds were like the clanging of iron, with sparks flying everywhere.

Lin Mo's figure weaved through the heavy shadows of the axe, like a small boat in a storm, seemingly in danger, yet never truly struck.

His sword occasionally finds an opening to counterattack; the hidden force of the [Double Strike] and the sharpness of the [Sword Steel] always force the Hunter Axe to slightly adjust its offensive.

"Good lad!"

The more the hunter's axe struck, the brighter his eyes became.

He could sense that the boy opposite him, who was only level 50, had physical strength, reaction speed, and combat awareness that far exceeded the limits of his level!

Especially that black sword, it was incredibly tough.

It withstood his powerful axe strikes multiple times without breaking.

The eerie light emanating from the sword grew ever deeper.

At the same time, Lin Mo was also in a bad mood. He knew that this was not the opponent's full strength. After all, the opponent had not even used any skills, and every attack was held back.

This doesn't seem like a chase, but rather a test.

"You can't win by just hiding!"

Hunter Axe suddenly roared, and the trajectory of his giant axe sweeping across the room abruptly changed.

With the speed increasing by another three points, a layer of solidified dark red aura appeared on the axe blade.

This axe strike locked down the space, forcing Lin Mo to take the hit head-on!

A cold glint flashed in Lin Mo's eyes; he knew he could no longer dodge.

[Killing Domain] Open to full power.

A pale red force field attempted to weaken the axe's momentum, while simultaneously shouting inwardly, "[Evolution] - Enhancement, [Fatal Strike]!"

All his strength.

Inject and compress like crazy!

The sword hummed and turned an unnatural dark red color!

【Slaying Domain Condensation】, 【Evolution: Fatal Strike】, 【Sword Steel】!

"cut!"

The black sword transformed into a bloodline condensed to its fullest extent.

Without dodging or avoiding, he faced the dark red axe blade head-on!

There was no loud noise.

There was only a low, short sound, yet it felt like a dull thud striking the heart.

boom!!!

Centered on the point where the two weapons clashed, a semi-circular shockwave suddenly spread out.

The ground within a radius of fifty meters was completely leveled, and all the gravel and vegetation instantly turned to dust!

Lin Mo groaned, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The sleeve of his right hand, which was holding the sword, ripped open, and several bloody gashes appeared on his arm.

His body slid backward more than ten meters, carving out two deep trenches.

The hunter with the axe stumbled back more than ten steps.

A tiny notch, the size of a grain of rice, appeared on the blade of the giant axe!

His thick arm, gripping the axe handle, trembled slightly, and for the first time, an incredulous shock appeared in his eyes!

"It actually... blocked it?"

Hunter Axe looked at the notch in the axe blade, then looked up at Lin Mo in the distance, who, though disheveled, still had a cold and sharp gaze.

His excitement was almost overflowing.

"Level 50... and you actually have this level of attack power?! Kid, what kind of monster are you?!"

He was deeply shaken.

He was certain that even in the entire empire, very few could withstand ten blows from his axe.

But this is a wanted criminal at level 50.

Not only did he withstand his serious offensive, but if he had taken the final sword strike head-on, he might have been injured as well.

This completely overturned his understanding!

Lin Mo slowly straightened up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his blood surging within him, but his fighting spirit burning brightly.

The Hunter Axe is more powerful than any of its predecessors.

This clash between pure strength and combat skills also gave him a new understanding of how to control his own power.

He took a deep breath to calm his injuries.

The black sword was raised again, its tip pointing at the hunting axe.

Although the domain was somewhat scattered, the killing intent remained undiminished.

The two were in high spirits and were about to continue their fight when the huge gem on the church in the distance suddenly emitted a faint light.

Seeing the light, the hunter axe was taken aback, then somewhat disappointedly hoisted the huge black axe back onto his shoulder.

The terrifying aura and fighting spirit that surrounded him receded rapidly like a tide.

"Not playing anymore?"

Lin Mo frowned, his sword still raised, his vigilance undiminished.

Hunter Axe looked at Lin Mo, his shock and excitement slowly turning into a complex and incomprehensible expression.

Finally, it turned into a hearty laugh, both joyful and tinged with regret.

"Hahaha! Kid, you're really good! Very good! I haven't had this much fun in a long time!"

He stretched out his thick finger and pointed to the Cathedral of Light, bathed in the golden light of the setting sun in the distance, his tone becoming casual.

"Come with me there, someone wants to see you."
