Chapter 80: One sword, man and horse shattered.
"put!"
With a sharp shout, twelve carbon arrows tore through the air, emitting a piercing whistle.
Puff puff!
Caught off guard, the three indigenous cavalrymen at the forefront suffered a sudden burst of blood from their horses' chests and their own thighs.
The galloping warhorse cried out in pain, its front hooves buckling, and it crashed heavily onto the concrete ground. The immense inertia caused it to slide several meters across the rough surface, leaving behind a bloody mess and the crunching sound of bones breaking that made one's teeth ache.
"Enemy attack!"
Rorschach yanked the reins, and his black warhorse reared up.
He brandished his spear and roared in broken Common Tongue.
"Scatter! Charge in! Crush them!"
The remaining nineteen cavalrymen displayed astonishing horsemanship, quickly splitting up to avoid their fallen comrades. The vibrations of their horseshoes striking the ground were like dense drumbeats, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression, like a sharp knife piercing the school gate.
Jiang Ming stood in the center of the gate, like a silver-white reef.
He didn't retreat a single step; instead, he took a step forward, his metal combat boots creating a ring of cracks in the ground.
"Little one!"
Su Xiaoxiao hid behind the security booth on the side, her hands trembling as she pointed at the tall figure from behind.
[Combat Power Increased!]
A yellowish-brown halo instantly entered Jiang Ming's body.
The already high Strength attribute of 15 points surged again at this moment, and the muscle fibers under the armor all over his body writhed wildly, as if they were about to burst the skin. An indescribable heat filled his whole body.
Strength +5!
Jiang Ming is currently a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex with 20 points of strength.
"Well done!"
Jiang Ming gripped the 1.5-meter-long black iron horse-slaying sword tightly with both hands, the blade drawing a dull arc in the air.
A reckless indigenous cavalryman, taking advantage of his horse's momentum, thrust his spear, whistling through the air, straight for Jiang Ming's throat.
This strike was powerful enough to pierce through the iron plate.
Jiang Ming neither dodged nor avoided.
He exerted force from his waist and abdomen, his spine taut like a bowstring, and then suddenly sprang out, his horse-slaying sword sweeping out with terrifying speed, arriving first after the attack.
Om-!
The air was violently pushed out, forming a visible shockwave.
clang!!!
A deafening metallic bang, loud enough to shatter eardrums, exploded.
The moment the spear touched the sword, it shattered into countless wood chips like a fragile, withered branch.
The sword, undiminished in its momentum, slammed into the warhorse's neck with devastating force.
Click!
Before the warhorse could even neigh, its neck bones shattered instantly, and its massive body flew sideways as if hit by a speeding truck.
The cavalrymen on horseback were flung away like rag dolls, gushing blood in mid-air, their chests caved in, and fragments of their internal organs mixed with blood clots scattered all over the ground.
[Defeat the Locke Town Scout Cavalry (Lv.8) to gain 800 experience points]
[Defeat the chestnut horse (Lv.4) to gain 400 experience points.]
One strike, and both men and horses were shattered!
This terrifying scene caused the pupils of the charging indigenous cavalry to contract sharply, and their previously unstoppable momentum froze for a moment.
Is this guy even human?!
"Don't stop! Surround and kill him!"
Luo Xia had already rushed forward. He saw the threat Jiang Ming posed, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
If this tin can isn't dealt with, his team will be forcibly broken through.
"kill!"
The three cavalrymen simultaneously turned their horses around, thrusting their spears from the left, right, and center, sealing off all of Jiang Ming's escape routes.
"Old Wang! My hands are freezing!"
Jiang Ming roared, and facing the three spears, he actually loosened one hand, using only one hand to hold the heavy Zhanma sword, while his other large hand, covered by a metal gauntlet, suddenly reached out.
Shila-
The friction between the metal produced dazzling sparks.
Jiang Ming managed to grab the spear that was thrusting towards him from the very center, his gauntlet rubbing violently against the spearhead.
"Get down here!"
The full power of 20 points is unleashed.
The cavalryman felt an irresistible force coming from the spear shaft, and he instantly lost his balance. Jiang Ming pulled him off the horse like a radish.
At the same time, two spears pierced Jiang Ming's Silver Knight Full Armor.
Ding!Ding!
Sparks flew everywhere.
Aside from leaving two white spots on the silvery-white nail surface and causing Jiang Ming's body to sway slightly, it accomplished nothing else.
With a physical defense of up to 20 points, the attacks of these ordinary cavalrymen became a joke.
"die!"
From behind the wall on the flank, Wang Yang, who had been poised to attack, charged out like a raging wild boar.
The [Blazing Battle Axe] in his hand left a crimson afterimage in the air before slamming into the leg of a cavalryman's horse.
"Hiss!"
The warhorse neighed and knelt down, and the rider on it tumbled off.
Wang Yang grinned maliciously and pounced forward. His battle axe, radiating intense heat, chopped off half of the man's shoulder. The wound instantly turned black, and not even a drop of blood flowed out.
On the other side, Li Bin emerged from the shadows like a ghost.
[The Venomous Piercer], like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, precisely pierces the back of a fallen cavalryman's neck, instantly injecting green toxins.
The cavalryman clutched his throat, his face turning purple, and convulsed painfully on the ground a few times before ceasing to move.
The situation reversed instantly.
The cavalry, originally hunters, had now become lambs to the slaughter.
"Damn it! This is a trap!"
Luo Xia's eyes were bloodshot as he watched his men die one after another. The silver-armored monster was rampaging through the crowd, and with every swing of his sword, a man and a horse would be broken and their bones snapped.
He knew that if they didn't deal with this metal can, they would all die here!
As the most elite scout captain in Locke Town, his pride made it impossible for him to accept fleeing without a fight.
"Get out of my way, all of you!"
Luo Xia roared, spurring his horse's belly with his legs. His black warhorse shot out like an arrow, bypassing the chaotic crowd. Man and horse became one, transforming into a black lightning bolt, rushing straight towards Jiang Ming in the center of the gate!
He held his spear horizontally, and a dazzling crimson light shone from the tip of the spear!
[Armor-Piercing Strike]!
This is his signature ability. This strike combines all his strength with the terrifying impact of his warhorse, enough to pierce through a tree that one person can hug!
Faced with this earth-shattering attack, Jiang Ming did not retreat but advanced, his eyes beneath the mask blazing with fighting spirit.
He held his sword horizontally in front of him, his feet carving two deep furrows in the cement ground, forcefully assuming a blocking stance.
clang--!!!
A louder, more ear-piercing metallic explosion rang out, and sparks flew like fireworks!
Luo Xia felt as if he had crashed into an unshakeable iron mountain. The terrifying force of the impact surged through the iron spear shaft, numbing his arms and tearing his tiger's mouth open, drawing blood!
His prized [Armor-Piercing Strike] only left a half-finger-deep dent on the opponent's silver-white breastplate, failing to even completely break through the defense!
