Chapter 965: Brutal Counterattack!
Crisscrossing grid lines appeared before him in the arena.
The gladiators and servants in each grid became chess pieces of different sizes.
Each chess piece had different characteristics as they moved along a complicated trajectory.
Meng Chao knew their characteristics and trajectories like the back of his hand.
He staggered three steps forward to the left.
This seemingly subconscious action caused him to slightly protrude from the Ice Storm team’s line of scattered soldiers and expose himself to the ferocious-looking squad leader who was missing half a fang.
As expected, the guy who was missing half a fang still remembered that it was Meng Chao who had killed two of his teammates earlier.
Two red hot streams mixed with blood mist gushed out of his nostrils and rushed toward Meng Chao without hesitation.
Meng Chao once again put on a dumbstruck look.
He did not dodge or run. He just adjusted his stance and angle slightly according to the position and speed of the two totem warriors.
He made sure that the domestic rat servant captain, himself, and the two totem warriors were in a straight line after 1.75 seconds.
He tried his best to give Leaf, who had turned pale with fright, the most comfortable angle of attack.
Bang!
Broken Tusk, who weighed almost half a ton, crashed heavily into Meng Chao’s body with ten times the impact force.
However, in the instant before the collision, Meng Chao stomped hard on the ground and accelerated in the same direction as Broken Tusk.
The relative speed of both parties instantly dropped to the bottom of the valley.
The flesh and blood in Meng Chao’s entire body surged like waves, turning his opponent’s destructive power into potential energy and storing it in the tendons that wrapped around his joints.
He was like a cannonball, smashing toward Ice Storm.
At the same time, he condensed the sound waves into a line and shot toward the female snow leopard warrior’s liquid metal helmet.
“It’s me!”
Time was tight, so Meng Chao only said two words.
He believed that Ice Storm understood what he meant.
Sure enough, Ice Storm hesitated for only a moment before she pretended that she had almost b.u.mped into him and was a little fl.u.s.tered.
In a fight between experts, victory or death was only a matter of seconds.
Poison Stinger, who had long run out of patience, finally seized the opportunity, thinking that he would win.
Two rows of 32 air holes appeared behind the One Million Steam Hammer, spurting out compressed air currents that were ten times stronger than the air holes on his arms.
An earth-shaking roar rose into the sky like a rocket.
Stinger instantly moved faster than the speed of sound.
Three long ramming horns that were as thick as fangs protruded from his lead-gray shoulder pads.
He could seemingly see the three ramming horns pierce through the Mithril Ripper and Ice Storm’s chest.
Moreover, Ice Storm would never have guessed that the three horns were actually hollow. Eighteen air holes could open on the surface at any time, releasing high-temperature and high-pressured steam. It would steam and blow apart Ice Storm’s internal organs.
“Hehe.”
A cruel smile appeared on Poison Stinger’s face, which was hidden under his liquid metal mask.
In the next second, his smile completely froze.
Two unexpected things happened.
First, Ice Storm appeared to have antic.i.p.ated his fatal attack and actually dodged it in advance, leaving only an increasingly faint afterimage in her previous spot.
Second, the black-haired rat, who had just been sent flying by Broken Tusk when he disrupted the battle between the two main generals, had somehow stabbed the spear in his hand into the ground when he landed heavily.
Although the arena was made of the strongest diamond…
It was constantly bombarded by the strong totem battle armors.
The ground was inevitably broken and full of potholes. There were shocking gullies and pits everywhere. There were also broken bones that had not been cleaned up and incomplete weapons.
The Turan people liked this messy arena.
They thought that this was the only way to be iron-blooded, exciting, and spicy.
Therefore, unless the entire arena completely collapsed, it would not be easily repaired.
When the black-haired rat landed, the tail of his long spear was inserted diagonally into a crack.
The tip of his spear was then tilted at a forty-five degree angle, swaying as it went straight for Poison Stinger.
Poison Stinger was equipped with totem armor, and he could have ignored this spear that was about to stab him diagonally.
Even if it was a spear made of pure iron, it would not be able to pierce through his armor and cause him substantial damage.
The problem was that the iron spear’s angle was not right. It was neither up nor down, and it was aimed at his crotch.
Poison Stinger was still too young.
He had not yet cultivated to a realm where he could be very flexible.
He knew that the iron spear would not be able to pierce through.
However, when the tip of the spear collided with the battle armor, the moment it sc.r.a.ped against his crotch and produced dazzling sparks, he could not help but feel a wave of mental pain.
That decided his fate.
The tens of thousands of spectators on the scene all saw an unbelievable scene.
The two totem warriors who were still in a state of anxiety just a moment ago suddenly sped up after a random black-haired soldier flew over. Each released an incomparably gorgeous totem battle skill.
First, the One Million Steam Hammer turned into a giant hammer that emitted steam in all directions. Wreathed in battle flames, it headed fiercely toward Ice Storm.
Immediately after, Ice Storm, perfectly evaded her opponent’s attack in a dazzling manner. She even condensed a large amount of liquid metal into the ends of her arms, making her already incomparably sharp claws even longer and sharper. Her claws were also covered in a layer of crystal-clear frost that was extremely dangerous.
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
The female snow leopard warrior’s attack was as fast as lightning, leaving hundreds of bone-deep cracks on Poison Stinger’s totem armor.
This time, with the large amount of frost spurting out, the One Million Steam Hammer finally failed to recover in time.
The icicles that were born from the Mithril Ripper’s claws were also like coffin nails that pierced through the cracks on Stinger’s armor, hitting his chest.
No matter how tough his steel skin was, Poison Stinger’s defense was finally broken under the continuous attacks of absolute zero.
Poison Stinger screamed in pain, and he was sent flying into the air.
Once he was in the air and had nowhere to borrow strength from, he became increasingly helpless.
It looked like Ice Storm wanted to make up for all the losses and humiliations she had suffered from the poor wild boar warriors in the previous three team battles.
The Frost Queen’s ruthlessness was unleashed to the fullest in an instant. She did not give her opponent any chance to fight back or dodge. The continuous attacks sent Poison Stinger flying up to a height of 20 to 30 arms. Ice pillars that looked like stairs appeared under Ice Storm’s feet, and she stepped on the ice pillars as she chased him to the height of 20 to 30 arms. She looked down and ravaged him.
Boom!
Finally, she smashed the frozen Poison Stinger and his One Million Steam Hammer back to the ground.
Even the screams of the wild boar warrior whose chest was filled with ice pillars were frozen. He could only wriggle in despair.
Ice Storm was still not satisfied. She snorted coldly and broke the ice pillars under her feet. She turned the sharp tips of the ice pillars and unleashed them on Poison stinger like hail.
The collision of the icicles and his totem armor produced dazzling sparks, which made the audience tremble in fear. They wondered if the next icicle would be able to completely break through the Poison Stinger’s totem armor and pierce through his heart!
The cheers that had been boiling just now came to an abrupt end.
All the audience’s expressions seemed to be frozen by ice.
Their throats were full of icicles. Other than gasp, they could not make any meaningful sound.
The rat soldiers in Poison Stinger’s team were even more shocked than them.
Including Broken Tusk, who had swallowed the secret medicine and felt that there were cl.u.s.ters of flames flowing in his body, all the rat soldiers saw their master get beaten from the ground to the sky and then back again to the ground before he was sunken by icicles. No… an entire iceberg was crushing him.
“No…”
Broken Tusk felt the entire world split open.
The strength, courage, and killing intent that he had forcibly raised with the secret medicine turned into cold sweat that leaked out of his pores completely.
He and all the domestic rat people in Poison Stinger’s team were scared out of their wits, and they dispersed into nothingness.
Right then, however, Meng Chao’s thunderous roar echoed in Leaf, Spider, and the other wild rats’ ears.
“Now!”
Leaf’s seemingly slender body trembled violently.
The images of his mother, his brother, Anjia, Tutu, the fish eagle, Uncle “broken front teeth”, and the old fool… All of them appeared in front of his eyes again…
As well as his home that was once incomparably beautiful but was burnt to the ground.
At that moment, the flames that destroyed his home were burning fiercely in his eyes and hands.
They had replaced the ancestral spirit and bestowed him with incomparable strength.
After Meng Chao’s ingenious deployment, he was in the position where it was easiest to attack the enemy’s vice-captain, Broken Tusk.
The youth’s thin chest emitted a thunderous bellow that resounded throughout the entire arena. He leaped high up and drew a lightning-like arc with his battle ax, attempting to slash Broken Tusk’s neck.
His thunderous battle intent caused his extremely savage opponent to involuntarily shiver.
Broken Tusk reacted instinctively and swung his mace to block.
However, his Achilles tendon, which was full of cracks due to overexertion, quickly gave way due to the effects of the secret medicine. At the most critical moment, he felt a sharp stabbing pain.
The stabbing pain delayed his reaction.
It also made his legs go soft, and his movements become deformed.
Meanwhile, Leaf’s arms actually extended a few inches in the process of waving at an extremely high speed.
The fierce glow on his ax blade just happened to bypa.s.s Broken Tusk’s spiked mace and cleave into his shoulder.
Although his ax did not directly cut off Broken Tusk’s head due to the protection of his neck guard that was made of fine steel…
Leaf’s astonishing strength, which was completely inconsistent with his slender figure, allowed him to brush past the neck guard. He cleaved through Broken Tusk’s shoulder blade, and hacked into chest, leaving a huge b.l.o.o.d.y wound on Broken Tusk’s chest.
The glittering lines and arrowheads on Leaf’s body spun like crazy.
“Die!” he shouted and exerted his strength again.
The well-tempered Ripple Force, which originated from Dragon City, surged into Broken Tusk’s chest like a flood.
The captain of the domestic rat soldiers, who had the Ironhide Clan’s bloodline and weighed half a ton, was actually thrown 20 to 30 arms away by this ordinary-looking wild rat youth with an ax. The youth even broke the tendons and bones of his two panicked companions. Only then did he land heavily on the ground. He rolled over a dozen times like a blood gourd, leaving a thick and long trail of blood!
