Battle

Hōng hōng hōng!!

The roars of the monsters and the roar of the Gatling Gun shattered the cohesion of the Different Dimension. The vibrations and flames of the violent explosion instantly attracted the attention of Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nanmo.

"Let's go take a look."

Jiang Hou rushed towards the street ahead, Zong Zheng Nanmo following nervously behind.

The two had just run over a hundred meters and turned the corner when they saw Fu Hongyu's team fighting a group of monsters in the distance.

The young man named Duan Xuan was carrying a two-meter-long Gatling Gun, frantically sweeping forward. The powerful bullets hit the wall and instantly pierced through it, forming a large hole.

Under the frontal sweep of the Gatling Gun, two Lion Python Ferocious Beasts, each over ten meters long, were riddled with holes and lay on the ground, spraying blood.

At the same time, three Ferocious Beasts resembling wild boars, covered in thick black keratin and over five meters long, were instantly torn apart. The powerful firepower covered an entire street.

This was the power of modern weapons. As long as the firepower was strong enough, low-level creatures simply couldn't resist.

However, the bullets were consumed too quickly. In less than a minute, Duan Xuan had fired off two belts of ammunition, and the red-hot barrel slowly came to a stop.

While Duan Xuan was killing those Ferocious Beasts, Fu Hongyu and Huang Ziting, armed with modified rifles, were in a plaza, jointly dealing with a monster.

This monster was three meters tall, shaped like a human, and wearing a set of tattered black armor.

The body under the armor was like a zombie that had been dried for hundreds of years. The exposed areas were decayed and disintegrated, with only a little black skin clinging to the skeleton.

In its bone claw-like hand, it held a narrow black Slashing Blade. The blade was pitted and looked like it could break at any moment, but its power was terrifying.

Each time the monster slashed, the invisible black edge that emanated from it would tear through the walls, leaving a narrow crack on the ground.

Moreover, the monster was very fast. Each time its figure flashed, it would cross more than ten meters and appear in front of Fu Hongyu, its offensive like a storm, full of pressure.

However, Fu Hongyu was not weak either. His entire body was covered in a layer of blue ice armor, and he wielded an ice longsword. Each time he swung his sword, a row of ice cones would shoot out from the ground.

In just a moment, the ruined plaza was covered with clusters of blue ice crystals.

On a building in the distance, Huang Ziting quietly held a sniper rifle. After Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nanmo appeared, the rifle in her hand spat out flames.

This shot was powerful and accurate, directly piercing the monster's shoulder armor, creating a fist-sized hole in the armor. The contained kinetic energy caused the monster to pause, revealing a flaw.

"Now! Icebound Burial!"

Fu Hongyu roared, and the ice sword in his hand suddenly plunged into the ground. Instantly, the ice crystals scattered around surged with cold air, and ice cones shot out from all directions, piercing through the Demonic Corpse.

In the blink of an eye, the Third Order Peak Demonic Corpse, which had been so fierce just now, was frozen in ice, and its head was shattered by the ice sword condensed in Fu Hongyu's palm.

At this time, the blue-haired youth turned his head and looked at Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nanmo in the distance: "When we came in earlier, Shen Tu Ge did a large-scale scan. The number and intensity of energy fluctuations in the direction of that street are the weakest."

"Your strength is relatively weak, I suggest you go there."

With that, Fu Hongyu nodded slightly to Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nanmo, and the three of them ran forward, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the monster corpse in the distance that had been frozen and cracked, the ruined street, and the bullet holes all over the ground, Zong Zheng Nanmo was a little shocked: "So strong!"

"Indeed, very strong." Jiang Hou nodded slowly.

This level of cooperation and killing efficiency was indeed worthy of being a professional monster-hunting transcendent team.

Especially Fu Hongyu, whose mastery of ice abilities seemed innate, was only at Third Order Peak, yet already gave the feeling of a Fourth Order expert.

Roar! A majestic roar exploded from the depths of the town's east side, followed by the eruption of two powerful energy fluctuations.

This power fluctuation, Fourth Order! Jiang Hou looked over there abruptly.

Just then, Zong Zheng Nanmo said with some seriousness, "Jiang Hou, go clean up the monsters. This place looks a bit dangerous, so I won't go and hold you back."

This cleanup of the Different Dimension was a large-scale mission, and each monster killed would be scored separately, with higher rewards for killing more.

In this place full of Second Order and Third Order monsters, Zong Zheng Nanmo, who had just broken through to Second Order and wasn't very familiar with his abilities, could only be a burden.

He had that much self-awareness.

"Alright, remember not to get close to the town center. Just find a high place near the entrance to watch the show." After saying that, Jiang Hou shot out, heading towards the street Fu Hongyu pointed to.

Soon, a withered figure appeared on the dim, dilapidated street.

Bang! Under the snow-white blade, a monster resembling a skeleton, covered in a layer of black, withered skin, exploded. Its chest and head were directly cut in half by Jiang Hou's Slashing Blade.

Hu! A wisp of black smoke gathered from the monster's corpse and imprinted on Jiang Hou's left arm bandage, forming several black纹路 [patterns/lines].

"Only First Order, huh?"

Through the 2 points of Demonic Qi added within his body, and the Hell Rune that had increased a bit in progress, Jiang Hou roughly estimated the monster's level.

Bang bang bang!! Next, Jiang Hou continuously killed three more of these skeleton monsters, then stopped.

Boom! The dilapidated house in front collapsed, and a figure more than five meters tall appeared.

This monster's body was like gray rock, with arms and legs, a 'short and stocky' figure, and some black纹路 [patterns/lines] printed on its surface, filled with a sense of oppression.

Beep beep!! The smart watch covered by bandages on Jiang Hou's wrist emitted a beep beep alarm, followed by an electronic voice.

"Strong Pollution Energy detected, value 620 to 750, ability unknown, danger level mid-stage Third level."

A mid-stage Third Order monster! Jiang Hou's gaze became serious. Without transforming into a giant beast, his strength was only at the early stage of Third Order.

Of course, realm is realm, it doesn't represent combat power.

The two sides confronted each other slightly, and the Stone Demon's two-story-high figure moved suddenly, shaking the ground beneath its feet, and rushed towards Jiang Hou with a rumble at a speed of more than forty meters per second.

Whoosh! Jiang Hou's figure swayed, instantly passing the Stone Demon.

Clang! At the moment of intersection, the Netherworld Demon Blade's blade slashed across the Stone Demon's waist, pulling out a large swath of sparks, leaving a wound more than twenty centimeters deep and half a meter long.

This was a Divine Weapon, unparalleled in sharpness.

Boom! The Stone Demon's body continued its momentum, smashing the wall behind Jiang Hou, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The dust dissipated, and the Stone Demon walked out of the Ruins. The rock at the wound on its waist squirmed like a living thing, healing quickly, its dark red eyes filled with tyranny.

"How do you kill this kind of monster?" Jiang Hou's eyes flickered, looking at the Stone Demon's head covered in black纹路 [patterns/lines].

Without the overwhelming power of a giant beast, he could only take the skill route.

Roar! The Stone Demon roared, its huge body rumbling towards Jiang Hou like a tank, but this time Jiang Hou didn't dodge, holding the Demonic Blade horizontally with both hands.

Boom! The huge fist slammed on the Demonic Blade, and the powerful force that erupted caused Jiang Hou's figure to sink, the ground within a few meters under his feet cracked, and cracks spread.

"Open!" Jiang Hou, who had taken a punch from the monster head-on, roared, his arms erupting with power, pushing the Stone Demon back a step.

Immediately afterward, his figure advanced instead of retreating, the Demonic Blade, entwined with black Demonic Qi, slashed at the Stone Demon's knee with lightning speed, three consecutive strikes landing on the same spot.

Roar! The monster roared, its body staggering, almost kneeling. Only a third of its thick knee remained connected, nearly severed.

Buzz! Just as it was about to pounce, the Stone Demon, over five meters tall, emitted a gray light from its arms, raising its fists high and slamming down with immense power.

Boom! The earth shook within a ten-meter radius, concrete cracked, and a powerful shockwave swept across a dozen meters. Jiang Hou, who had retreated at the first moment, also felt the ground shaking beneath his feet.

Whoosh! The sound of air being torn apart rang out again. Jiang Hou, dodging the shockwave, transformed into a black and white afterimage, his figure nimbly circling the Stone Demon, unleashing a frenzy of slashes.

Clang clang clang!! Under the sharp blade of the Divine Weapon,gravel [gravel/rubble] splashed from the Stone Demon's legs and waist, and massive wounds continuously appeared, outpacing its ability to recover.

Roar! The monster roared, its arms once again emitting a gray light, pounding the ground in an attempt to force Jiang Hou back.

Whoosh! Just as the earth shook and the shockwave swept across a dozen meters, Jiang Hou leaped high into the air, appearing behind the Stone Demon, the black light on the Demonic Blade in his hand exploding.

A black blade aura, three meters long and radiating a sharp edge, descended from the sky, slashing at the Stone Demon's neck with lightning speed.

Boom! A head the size of a water vat smashed onto the ground, emitting a dull thud.

On the ruined street, the three-meter-tall corpse of the monster knelt, covered in armor. A figure wrapped in bandages stood tall, holding the Demonic Blade, black hair dancing wildly.

Huff huff!! Wisps of black smoke surged from the monster's corpse, converging, circling Jiang Hou once before disappearing into the bandage on his left arm, forming a new Hell Rune.

Instantly, the Demonic Qi depleted within Jiang Hou's body recovered a portion, and the upper limit of the total Demonic Qi on the attribute page increased by 20 points, reaching 169.

"This feeling of growing stronger the more I kill is somewhat addictive," Jiang Hou sighed softly, his figure moving to the rooftop of a small building.

Looking around, he saw explosions, flames, and the roars of monsters shaking the night sky in the distance, indicating intense battles.
