"That brute... The Butcher... his strength is truly terrifying..."
Zhou Song muttered to himself in a low voice, his eyes filled with intense dread. The newly-arrived hired fighters all displayed solemn expressions in their gazes. None of them dared to step into the battlefield, choosing to observe first, hoping an opportunity would arise later.
On the battlefield.
Gu Sheng was holding his ground against the Three Wind Demons, effortlessly suppressing them. He couldn’t deny that the coordination among the three was indeed impressive. Every time he planned to focus his attacks on one of them, the other two immediately came to their comrade’s rescue, forcing him to abandon the assault.
If these were just ordinary entry-level Martial Artists in the Blood Refining Realm, Gu Sheng would have already chopped them all to pieces!
No wonder the trio managed to stand out among the hired fighters.
However, Gu Sheng hadn’t been using his full strength from the beginning. He merely relied on the Chopping Wood technique to engage them. He hadn’t unleashed the giant strength of the Iron Stone Fist or the Strong Body ability from the first-level Shapeshifting technique, nor had he completely erupted with his Qi Blood Power.
But the ones most shaken were none other than the trio of Li Wen, Li Wu, and Li Ping.
In the past, their joint forces were nearly unstoppable, no matter how strong their opponents were. Their relentless tactics would gradually wear down their enemies. The Poison Bee Guest from before had been one such victim, forced to flee in disgrace after facing their combined assault. Yet now, standing against Gu Sheng, they saw no hope of victory.
"How can the Butcher’s strength be this overwhelming?!"
The seemingly endless surge of Qi and blood emanating from Gu Sheng gave them the illusion that his power was inexhaustible. Up until now, they could feel their states gradually diminishing, but the Butcher’s aura remained unwaveringly stable.
This realization sent a chill through their hearts.
The three exchanged glances, fully understanding each other’s intentions in an instant.
In the next moment.
Li Wen and Li Wu’s footwork shifted, syncing seamlessly as their blade and sword united in a lethal combination. Left and right, they attacked together, their aggression and murderous intent far greater than before. It was one of their ultimate moves: Li Wen and Li Wu’s blade-sword unity, with their younger brother Li Ping delivering the killing blow.
Many opponents had met their ends when faced with this deadly technique.
Gu Sheng’s thick eyebrows furrowed. He knew he couldn’t win this without revealing some of his trump cards.
People were watching from afar, so he decided to avoid using the Iron Stone Fist if possible. A light flicker of resolve crossed his mind, followed by a sudden roar that echoed like a tiger’s howl in the wilderness, shaking the desolate land.
Following this, in the bewildered and fearful eyes of the Three Wind Demons and the distant spectators.
Gu Sheng’s muscles erupted, swelling violently. His once-loose combat attire stretched taut against his bulging frame, his stature growing taller and broader in an instant. He appeared like a fearsome beast enveloped in murderous intent.
First-level Strong Body!
His massive protruding veins resembled writhing dragons. If Gu Sheng already looked intimidating before, now he seemed like a monstrous demon incarnate. Standing over 2 meters tall, the huge axe in his grip suddenly appeared puny. As he twisted his neck, the cracking of his bones sounded like explosive firecrackers.
"Die!"
The torrent of power coursing through his entire body filled Gu Sheng with a savage frenzy. His massive axe swept horizontally, cleaving down at the dual incoming strikes of blade and sword. The sudden surge of fifty percent more strength, coupled with the hefty weight of the axe, produced a gusting roar that chilled spectators to their cores.
The abrupt increase in strength and speed left Li Wen and Li Wu completely unable to evade.
The axe’s edge glinted coldly as it directly shattered their blade and sword in one strike. Both Li Wen and Li Wu spat blood as they were sent flying backward, their flesh trembling from the transmitted power. When they regained focus, their gazes turned toward Gu Sheng, their expressions akin to facing a bloodthirsty human-shaped beast.
Li Ping was stricken with fear. Watching his two elder brothers in peril, he sprang forward to provide interference, his fists and claws carrying an aggressive momentum.
Yet.
