The two figures collided instantly.

The impact of Tang Zheng's rapid descent from the sky, combined with his passive skills "Aura of Courage" and "Extra Weapon Proficiency," generated nearly three times his attack power.

Boom!

A huge, ear-piercing crash echoed through the forest. A powerful impact erupted centered on the two people, instantly clearing away and shredding the lush foliage of the strangely shaped trees around them.

It's become completely bare!

Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke let out a scream as his sharp forelimbs, which had been swinging, were forcibly pressed back by the astonishing force and slammed into his own chest.

The seemingly obese, oval-shaped body of the Wise King of the Forest, Hamsuke, was sent flying like a ball, crashing through dozens of trees before finally coming to a stop.

I'm so angry!

How did you suddenly become so strong!

Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke angrily, rolled his body up from the ground, shook off the wood chips and twigs on his body, and glared at Tang Zheng with bright and fierce eyes.

"An attack of that magnitude just now, and it didn't even cause any obvious injuries?" Tang Zheng's eyelids twitched when he saw the Wise King of the Forest, Hamsuke, who was almost unharmed in the distance.

Just how thick is this guy's skin?

Tang Zheng suddenly remembered that the two-handed greatsword that Bone Lord created using the Seventh-Tier Magic "Create Greater Item" seemed unable to easily break through the defenses of Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke.

"To actually manage to send me flying, it seems you used some kind of technique, but you can already be proud, a human powerhouse."

The Wise King of the Forest, Hamsuke with anger, his beard standing on end. "I will savor your taste."

As soon as he finished speaking...

Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke's body sank downwards.

A black afterimage shot out from behind the Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke, and with extraordinary speed, it appeared in front of Tang Zheng in the blink of an eye.

Boom!!

He swiftly swung his Magic Greatsword to block in front of him, and his dark gray, scaled tail struck the Magic Greatsword heavily, making his arm feel heavy.

Tang Zheng swung his Magic Greatsword, flicked his dark gray tail to one side, and charged forward to approach the Wise King of the Forest, Hamsuke, once again.

With a whoosh, Tang Zheng's eyelids twitched, and he abruptly stopped his forward momentum, quickly leaping backward with both legs.

The thick, dark gray tail actually curved nimbly in mid-air, attacking Tang Zheng from the side.

It swung the Magic Greatsword again, colliding with the tail with a dull thud!

However!

With incredibly agile movements, like a supple snake, the thick tail swiftly coiled around the Magic Greatsword in Tang Zheng's hand and forcefully pulled it downwards.

Tang Zheng had just changed his posture and hadn't yet regained his balance, was thrown off balance by the sudden downward pull and lurched forward uncontrollably.

It crashed into the tail of the Magic Greatsword.

Boom-Boom-

/

In that instant!

The dense layers of scales on its dark gray tail stood up, turning into sharp blades.

"Instant Reflection!"

Tang Zheng's eyes widened, a flash of blue light appeared on his body, and his body, which had been leaning forward and losing its balance, was forcibly reversed, allowing him to regain his footing.

Immediately afterwards.

Tang Zheng's eyes turned cold as he gripped the hilt of his Magic Greatsword and slammed it forcefully into the ground.

The blade of the Magic Greatsword slashed at the tail wrapped around the blade, colliding with the tiny, blade-like scales, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound and a dense shower of sparks!

Whoosh!

The dark gray tail quickly released its grip on the Magic Greatsword.

Boom!

A loud bang came from above, and shadows enveloped Tang Zheng.

Suddenly, the Wise King of the Forest, Hamsuke, who had been positioned some distance away, leaped forward, easily covering a distance of more than ten meters, and appeared above him, slamming down heavily.

"Blindness!" The Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke's slightly shrill voice rang out, and a pattern resembling a magic circle flashed across his body.

Not good!

Tang Zheng was slightly startled. He felt his vision go dark and he was losing his sight rapidly. He had almost forgotten that this hamster had other magical abilities.

This is not a mental magic, but a negative status effect, so naturally "the Undead's Mentality" cannot be used for defense.

The "Body of Divine Protection" attribute displayed a faint flash on the Attribute Panel!

This is a passive ability that can reduce all negative status effects by half.

Tang Zheng, who should have completely lost his sight, now had a semi-transparent membrane between his eyes, and his vision was still very blurry.

The sound of the Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke falling reached Tang Zheng's ears. Due to the sudden visual disturbance, Tang Zheng's dodging movements were slowed down by a beat.

Even if you can completely dodge it!

With the visibility so poor, Tang Zheng was also unable to accurately observe the Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke's attack movements.

"Unclean Impact Shield!"

Tang Zheng let out a cold shout.

Plump!

A black energy shockwave instantly spread outwards from Tang Zheng as the center.

"What is this?! Ah!"

Before the Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke could react, he was blasted away again by the irresistible force of the impact.

It crashed into the forest dozens of meters away with a loud bang.

"Fly!" Tang Zheng released his magic, and quickly took off into the air.

Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke, feeling dizzy, got up from the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood. The powerful impact had clearly caused him some internal injuries.

Boom!

The ground shook, and decaying leaves flew everywhere.

Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke moved his limbs and charged out of the distant forest with bloodshot eyes, heading towards the direction Tang Zheng had just been, only to find that there was no one there.

"You wretched human! Get down here!"

At this moment, the Wise King of the Forest, Hamsuke, also noticed Tang Zheng hovering in the air and shouted angrily.

Facing the shouts and yells from below!

Tang Zheng chose to ignore it, and after about five or six minutes, the effect of "Blindness" completely subsided.

Lower your head!

The crimson gaze of the Wise King of the Forest, Hamsuke, clashed with the icy gaze of Tang Zheng.

In a fleeting moment!

"Die!"

Tang Zheng swooped down again, this time even faster than before, the strong airflow making his loose robes flutter loudly.

"Get down here!"

Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke straightened up, raised his two forelimbs to reveal sharp black claws, and at the same time lowered his body, his scaly tail sprang up and shot straight into the sky.

A black tail, its afterimage transforming into a long whip, pierced the air ahead, attacking straight at you!

Tang Zheng dodged the straight-attacking tail by sidestepping as he fell.

At a height of twenty meters, with Tang Zheng's diving speed, the two appeared before each other in almost the blink of an eye.

At the same time!

Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke his forelimbs, his ten sharp claws gleaming coldly as he slashed forward, while his tail, which had been launched outwards, suddenly twisted in mid-air, creating a pincer attack.

The same attack method as at the beginning!

In a short time, the Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke had devised a plan, and his bloodshot eyes revealed an excited and ferocious look.

Sudden!

Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke noticed a meaningful Taunt in the eyes of the despicable human who rushed in front of him.

Do you know why I used the same attack methods?

Tang Zheng's voice rang out, and he shouted, "Dark Wave!"

Brush!

The dark energy formed by the curse pierced through the body of the Wise King of the Forest, Hamsuke, freezing him in place, whether it was his tail swinging back or his forelimbs flailing.

"Of course, it's to lure you in!"

"Do you really think you can act with impunity just because you have those defensive capabilities?!"

The Magic Greatsword in Tang Zheng's hand vanished instantly, replaced by an ordinary iron sword. His eyes flashed with a cold light as he aimed at the eyes of the Wise King of the Forest, Hamsuke: "Fourfold Slash of Light - Break!"

Four sharp sword beams appeared in mid-air, instantly merging into one, and piercing towards the eyes of the Wise King of the Forest, Hamsuke!

This attack was specifically prepared to counter the troublesome defensive capabilities of the Wise King of the Forest, Hamsuke!

In the anime, Brain achieved this effect by using the "Domain" skill to increase accuracy, while Tang Zheng used the opposite method.

The "Fourfold Slash of Light" appears to unleash four Slash Strike in an instant, but in reality, each attack has a specific sequence.

When his level was low, Tang Zheng couldn't perceive this change, but as his strength increased, the order of the four Slash Strike became clear.

It's complicated!

In essence, it combines the trajectories of the four Slash Strike into one with stronger base attributes. Simply put, it forcibly strikes four Slash Strike in one place, creating a heavy blow.

This is inspired by "Blue Roses" Gagaran, who can unleash Smash of 15 hits in one go, like a storm.

The blade hissed as it pierced the air!

The only thing the Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke could do was instinctively close his eyes, but with his eyelids alone, he clearly couldn't withstand this long-planned attack!

The eyelid was ripped apart instantly!

The fist-sized eyeball was exposed to the blade and pierced through in an instant.

"Ah!!!"

Intense pain surged through the entire body of the Wise King of the Forest, Hamsuke, causing him to let out a scream that echoed throughout the jungle.

Just as Tang Zheng was about to stab again, aiming to pierce the other man's head in one go!

In the midst of intense pain and the moment the curse wore off, Wise King of the Forest Hamsuke twisted his body and flung the iron sword that had pierced his eye socket away.

With a scream, it turned and fled into the depths of the jungle!
