Chapter 173: Shattered Fragments Light

Qin Jiagui’s entire body was trembling, he had finally realised that his Demolishing Iron Fist and Steel Missile were completely ineffective as he switched to using his ‘Iron Arrow Claw’ which he had always regarded as a white elephant.

The Iron Arrow Claw was used as five golden claws pierced forward, instantly slicing into the neck region of the Volcanic Rock Monster which had lost its two arms.

The tier four beast soldier was an extremely frightening monster that threatened to exterminate their group, however, there was also equal opportunity in risk, by killing these monsters, besides Su Yu and Fang Jiong who were already tier four, the others would be able to swiftly advance, this Volcanic Rock Monster was purposefully left behind by Su Yu for Qin Jiagui.

Qin Jiagui’s heart was filled with grat.i.tude but there was simply no need to use words to express this, his Iron Arrow Claw entered the neck region with a ‘Chi!’ as he forcefully swiped, the body of the monster was extremely st.u.r.dy but its joints were very fragile as its head was immediately separated from the body.

A crystal swiftly flew directly into Qin Jiagui’s arm.

Qin Jiagui could not help but howl to the sky as energy surged within him, rushing towards the ‘door’ located within his right arm, swiftly breaking through as it filled his chest, causing the skin to turn to metal.

The third tier, Qin Jiagui had finally reached it becoming a tier three dark iron warrior, increased strange energy together with the chance to improve or learn new abilities. Qin Jiagui did not hesitate as he instantly chose to advance the Demolishing Iron Fist into its advanced version “Double Explosive Iron Fist”.

The Double Explosive Iron Fist could erupt twice, the combined might from this explosive blast was more than three times stronger than his Demolishing Iron Fist.

The monsters which had targeted Zhang Zhongmou and Qin Jiagui were dead, the one that went towards Jade and Zhou Birong had been dealt with by Su Yu, as for the one that was moving towards Zhao Shichang, it had already taken a blow from his Bone Blade without suffering any injuries, Zhao Shichang was extremely astute, using his range of two metres due to the length of Bone Blade, he swiftly fled upon noticing the ineffectiveness of his attack, causing the monster to roar as it rushed forward, smashing towards Lei Rui and Huo Shan.

Lei Rui was like a broken kite as she was sent flying, Huo Shan had created one briquette and wanted to toss it but was too slow, everything grew blurry as he was sent flying, blood spurting from his mouth while the briquette landed beside him, exploding with a ‘Kaboom!’.

This briquette would instantly explode after coming into contact with any surface or object, at this moment it had actually fallen directly beside him.

Huo Shan’s eyes were wide open, he was in disbelief at the sight of his dismembered body, his eyes were still staring at the suitcase beside him, looking at the notes that filled the sky as he stretched forward, wanting to grab the money. Images of his sweet and delicate wife constantly flowed through his mind.

“Xiang Mei……. Don’t worry, I will…… I will bring the money……. To the hospital to…… save…… you…….ah……”

His outstretched hand fell lifelessly to the ground as his head rolled to the side, his body had already been blown apart and there was simply no chance of reviving him.

The final Volcanic Rock Monster rushed towards the male dressed in his western suit, he had just arrived within this world but was already faced with such strange events.

It was difficult for him to acclimatise in such a short period of time but he still instinctively reacted, as the monster pounced, his arms were stretched forward as he pulled at the monster, actually tossing it over his back.

“Bang!”

An explosive sound rang out, contrary to their expectations, the tier four beast soldier was actually suppressed by the male as he twisted its arm, suppressing it below his body as it continued to struggle but failed to get rid of the male.
Based on logic, with the frightening power that the Volcanic Rock Monster had, no matter how formidable the male was, his physical body should not have been able to take on the monster. However, the reality was before their eyes, the male had managed to twist the monster’s arm, forcing it under him, it could not retaliate as the raging flames between its joints slowly extinguished.

Under such a dangerous circ.u.mstance, the male did not notice a flashing circular symbol on his arm which was currently twisting the arm of the monster, this symbol was continually spinning and flashing as though it were releasing some strange energy.

“Crack!”

A crisp sound could be heard as the male looked on in a daze, he had actually ripped the arm off the monster at the joints.

Su Yu noticed this as his heart trembled, the monster seemed to have lost all its strength after meeting with the male, it was simply too strange, could it actually have something to do with the ability that the male had comprehended?

Su Yu did not hesitate as he kicked, advancing towards the Volcanic Rock Monster which had sent Lei Rui and Huo Shan flying.

Huo Shan had died miserably and Su Yu had noticed this but simply did not have the time to help him, who knew that Huo Shan would actually blow himself up, this was simply unforeseeable.

After shattering the arms of the monster with his Golden Thumb, Su Yu sent it flying away with a kick towards Jade who had just stood up while shouting: “Kill it!” before rushing towards the four other monsters by the side.

Zhou Birong had been sent flying into Jade and Jade herself was injured but managed to stand back up, hearing Su Yu’s roar, she swiftly acted as her hands grabbed the head of the monster, using all the strength within her to twist its head before finally snapping it off.

Jade was surprised as she hugged the head of the monster, her body tumbled to the ground as she panted. The actions earlier had sapped all the strength from her body, it was only after a crystal flew into her left arm that she began to feel refreshed again.

She had finally broken through, she was initially at tier one and had finally advanced to become a tier two dark iron warrior, her strange energy had began to transform into qi while the ‘door’ appeared at her left arm, new abilities also appeared within her mind.

Following the death of the fifth monster, besides the nameless male that was currently suppressing one of the monsters, there were only four of them remaining of which one was currently being blocked by Fang Jiong.

Fang Jiong was a tier four expert, even if he were to face two of the monsters, he would still be able to barely hold on. The Volcanic Rock Monster was the lowest grade of tier four beast soldier and was much weaker than Fang Jiong.

Fang Jiong used his Cyclone Wok to send one flying away before using his Steel Shattering Cleave, chopping off the arm of another Volcanic Rock Monster before chopping into the chest of a third one, causing it to retreat without any chance of retaliating.

The two Volcanic Rock Monsters which had been first sent flying by Su Yu had finally climbed to their feet, however, Zhang Zhongmou, Xu Ruyun and Qin Jiagui had advanced to become tier three dark iron warriors and were already confidently rushing towards the two monsters.

Xu Ruyun’s body flashed, he was already a tier three expert but did not allow this to get to his head, he knew that the other party was a tier four beast soldier and was stronger in terms of raw strength, he did not attack from the front but rather planned to use his movement techniques to find the weakness of the monster before striking.

This was not a simple task as the monster was still a powerful tier four creature, such a chance would not easily present itself.

Xu Ruyun frowned before noticing that Zhang Zhongmou had promoted to tier three and was currently rushing here, he immediately thought of something as he dodged to the side.

“Hahaha!” Zhang Zhongmou laughed boisterously as he stood with his chest forward: “I’ll let you monsters have a taste of my new ability, Shattered Fragments Light!”

“Kaboom!”

A visible hole like that of an eye appeared on his stone chest as a blazing pillar of light was shot forth.

The pillar of light swiftly struck the chest of one of the Volcanic Rock Monsters.

This Shattered Fragment Light was an ability with a five minute cooldown, its power was immense and even a monster as powerful as the Volcanic Rock Monster was sent flying away without any chance for retaliation, at this moment, Xu Ruyun struck.

He had purposefully waited from Zhang Zhongmou to act, creating a chance for him to attack. He did not hesitate as his right hand went forth, silently striking like an agile panther. The surgical knife within his right hand did not create any sound as it instantly sliced at the neck region, separating the head of the monster from its body.

Another crystal rose into the air before entering Xu Ruyun’s body, he sucked in a breath of cold air as he felt the energy within him roil, rushing towards the newly formed ‘door’. It was a pity that it was still insufficient as it gradually receded, entering tier four from tier three with a single crystal was still insufficient.

Xu Ruyun sighed inside as his gaze swiftly moved to the other Volcanic Rock Monster.

He had just looked over when a figure suddenly flashed by, Su Yu had suddenly appeared as his Golden Thumb pressed down on the head of the monster, the head was immediately shattered as scattered red fragments were strewn everywhere.

The Volcanic Rock Monster was a tier four beast soldier, Su Yu was also a tier four dark iron warrior but he could still absorb a relatively large amount of strange energy from it.

Xu Ruyun sighed, he knew that Su Yu was about to act and would not give him any chance to strike.

After Su Yu killed the monster, there were merely three remaining ones. Fang Jiong roared like thunder as his butcher’s knife chopped heavily with the Steel Shattering Cleave, finally lopping the head off one of the monsters.

The head of this Volcanic Rock Monster tumbled to the ground, the flames within its body were already extinguished and it fell to the ground, lifeless.

A faint red crystal disappeared into Fang Jiong’s palm causing him to roar as he felt the strange energy within him surge, streaks of powerful black undulations exploded from his body as they gathered atop the large wok on his back.

“Cyclone Wok!” Fang Jiong roared as the large wok was tossed forward, the shrill whistling sound could be heard as a monster which was climbing back up was immediately struck.

This monster had barely managed to climb back up before being hit by the wok, immediately flung back onto the ground.

By the side, the nameless male was still suppressing one of the Volcanic Rock Monsters, using his strength to pull at its arm as he actually managed to break it off.

He was stunned for a moment before recovering, immediately moving to pull at the head as he used his entire body weight.

n.o.body knew the reason but the Volcanic Rock Monster seemed to have lost its terrifying strength, its resistance was extremely feeble as its head continually gave off cracking noises. The male roared as his flesh swelled, finally ripping the head from the body.

A recently promoted dark iron warrior had actually managed to kill a tier four beast soldier, this male hugged the head as he sat on the ground, he did not understand the situation but could feel the strange energy within him suddenly roil vigorously, in an instant, streams of information flooded through his mind as he immediately promoted to tier one, the strange circular symbol atop his right hand became even clearer.

The final Volcanic Rock Monster had been sent flying away by the Cyclone Wok, at this moment, Su Yu had just used the Golden Thumb to deal with a Volcanic Rock Monster, he saw the monster fall past him and with his abilities, he would be able to easily land a killing blow. However, he did not do so but rather dashed to the side, lifting Zhou Birong’s broken arm off the ground as he swiftly began to restore it.

Su Yu did not continue because he had already killed two of the monsters and Fang Jiong had been the one who was dealing with the monster, under such circ.u.mstances, if he were to kill the monster, it would seem as though he was coveting the crystal. As a result, he did not act and left the final monster for Fang Jiong to deal with, moving to help Zhou Birong who the most seriously injured.

Fang Jiong had absorbed the energy from a Volcanic Rock Monster and his strange energy was surging, following up with a steel shattering cleave as he finally killed the last monster.
