Advancement
The Blood-Colored Great Axe, enveloped in thick, dark red blood energy, produced a muffled, whistling sound as it cut through the air.
The Big Goblin's energy surged to a boiling point. After a brief rest and regrouping, this Silver Tier monster's attack was far more ferocious than before. It abandoned all probing and, relying on the dual suppression of its level and physical strength, pressed forward relentlessly, giving Lu Heng no room to maneuver or maneuver.
Lu Heng did not back down.
In a close-quarters stalemate, there's no point in hiding your trump cards.
He remained calm and focused, his mind instantly reaching the Frost Talisman stored within his body. This was his key trump card, which he had kept hidden until now, and now the moment to fight to the death had finally arrived.
Within arm's reach, the giant axe, carrying destructive power, crashed down, and the blood-red mist almost completely enveloped Lu Heng.
Just as the axe blade was about to strike his body, Lu Heng suddenly detonated the Frost Talisman within his body.
An extreme, biting chill erupted without warning, exploding instantly from the point of their battle. The frigid temperature instantly drained the heat and vitality from the entire area, and a white, cold mist spread rapidly, freezing the surrounding air and soil.
The anticipated effect of instantly freezing the body did not materialize immediately.
The Big Goblin's survival instincts and defense mechanisms are instantly activated.
The Bone Ornament Necklace around its neck suddenly shone with a dim yet intense light. Originally a special piece of equipment designed to defend against mental attacks, it now developed secondary resistance, with a thin layer of energy membrane tightly isolating it from the biting cold. At the same time, its blood and qi surged wildly, boiling and burning. The scalding crimson energy flowed rapidly along its skin and muscles, frantically washing away the frost and cold that had invaded its body, attempting to forcibly break free from the icy confinement.
Lu Heng had anticipated this.
Without stopping, he unleashed a massive amount of Mental Energy, precisely targeting the Big Goblin's Sea of Consciousness and torso, forcefully suppressing its struggling momentum.
On one side is the extreme struggle of bone ornaments protecting and blood breaking through the ice; on the other side is the double confinement of Frost freezing and intense mental pressure.
In the instant the two forces clashed violently, visible white frost finally forced its way over half of the Big Goblin's body.
Its limbs were locked in place by the ice, and its ferocious slashing motion was suddenly halted in mid-air. Its pupils contracted violently, its eyes filled with rage and fear, and its body trembled wildly, but it could only break free by a fraction of a second. This brief moment of stiffness was the only window of opportunity to kill it in this desperate situation.
Lu Heng instantly picked up Kiss of Nightmare.
Extreme close-up face-to-face contact.
The black muzzle of the gun was fixed firmly on the Big Goblin's head, without any deviation.
The moment the trigger was pulled, a violent muzzle blast tore through the cold mist.
The destructive power of the close-range shotgun shells was unleashed, and countless bullets instantly pierced the monster's skull.
Flesh, bone fragments, and lingering frost debris exploded violently. The Silver Big Goblin, which had been so ferocious just moments before, commanding armies and overwhelming Lu Heng, instantly froze, its massive body crashing heavily to the ground, lifeless.
The Bronze Green Demon Squad, which had been maintaining its formation on the periphery, instantly descended into utter chaos.
If they were ordinary wild beasts or monsters, they would scatter and flee if their leader were killed in battle. But after a long period of training and coordination under the command of the Big Goblin, this squad has long since shed its simple, savage instincts and retained its discipline in coordinated combat.
The formation shattered instantly, but not everyone mindlessly fled.
Some of the less intelligent Green Demon panicked completely, turning around and running away from the battlefield; the remaining dozen or so elite Bronze Green Demon quickly regrouped their remaining forces, holding shields side by side with their blades and spears facing outwards, creating a weak defensive line.
They were to cover the rear, providing cover for their scattered comrades to escape.
Lu Heng's eyes were icy cold, showing no sign of letting it go.
Releasing a tiger back into the mountains will bring endless trouble. We must not allow any potential threats from the exotic species in this area.
The moment the Big Goblin's body collapsed, the hidden Greedy Wolf Power within Lu Heng's body activated on its own.
An invisible field of plunder enveloped the demon's corpse, continuously extracting the Origin Energy and blood essence of a Silver Tier expert, which flowed into Lu Heng's body through his limbs and bones.
A powerful and profound force washed over my entire body.
The long-standing and stable boundary barrier shattered instantly.
The physical body and mental Sea of Consciousness were soaked and reshaped by energy. The soreness and fatigue left by the battle quickly dissipated, the body became light, and all sounds and movements around were much clearer and sharper than before.
He broke through and advanced to the Silver Tier.
An urge to check the Wristband panel instantly welled up within him, wanting to confirm the comprehensive transformation of his attributes. However, Lu Heng forcibly suppressed these distracting thoughts, his gaze remaining fixed on the remaining enemies on the battlefield.
We will not let our guard down until the battle is completely over.
Ignoring the supplies dropped by the Big Goblin on the ground, he gripped his weapon and charged straight at the remaining Green Demon Squad that was covering their retreat.
After breaking through to the Silver Tier, all combat perception underwent a complete transformation.
The attacks that used to require careful prediction, deflection, and precise evasion now appeared slow and clumsy to him. His physical strength, reaction speed, and dynamic tracking ability completely overwhelmed the Bronze Tier mutants.
Battlefield combat became smoother and more fluid than ever before.
Lu Heng dodged the bone spikes with a sidestep, then raised his hand and fired a precise shot.
In close combat, every strike is potentially fatal.
The projectile tore through his torso, and the shockwave shattered his bone shield. The remaining Green Demon's desperate attempts to block, counterattack, and coordinate were futile in the face of such a disparity in strength.
Anyone caught in the blast will inevitably suffer severe injuries, including broken limbs, broken bodies, and collapse to the ground.
The remaining Green Demon formation, which had been covering the retreat, collapsed rapidly, with monsters falling one after another to their deaths. A few individuals attempting to escape in the distance could not escape the precise targeting of the Crossbow Tower above, and the Bloodthirsty Vine on the ground seized the opportunity to entangle and kill them.
Following Lu Heng's mental commands, the Bone Demon steadily advanced, crushing all remaining resistance. Two robots roamed around, cleaning up and leaving no survivors.
The sounds of fighting across the battlefield quickly subsided.
In just a few minutes, all the Bronze Green Demon were wiped out.
The smoke slowly dissipated, the lingering warmth of the ice gradually faded, and the ground was covered with mangled monster corpses and shattered traces of frost.
The battlefields, both inside and outside, fell completely silent.
Lu Heng stood in the center of the battlefield, a scene of utter devastation, as the restless Silver Tier energy within him slowly settled and stabilized.
My tense mind finally relaxed after the whole thing.
