This kind of monster, how is it possible for anyone to kill it? The way the opponent killed as easily as slaughtering chickens yesterday left everyone present in utter despair. Even if soone resisted, attacking the opponent without any attempt to dodge, they couldn’t even break through the defense.
"Quick... run!!"
The girl stared intently at Lu Ren, her gaze filled with hope, yet with a weak, raspy voice, she shouted powerlessly. Her originally sweet voice had long been damaged by her terrified pleas for help and screams.
The ’Blindman’ took a step forward, relying on his formidable physical strength to charge towards Lu Ren like an arrow released from a bow.
Lu Ren, who had been paying attention to the Blindman behind him, didn’t even notice the girl’s shouts, only feeling a tingling on his scalp but without any panic. He understood that the more frantic he got at this mont, the more fearful he would be inside, and the quicker he would die.
He paused his steps, and the inertia of running with all his might prevented him from stopping imdiately. Using this montum, Lu Ren sidestepped and executed a sideways flip in the air, leaping four ters away.
At the spot where he was standing just a mont ago, the Blindman’s punch missed, creating a whistling sound in the air.
"Ding, you perford a beautiful 270-degree perfect side flip, perfectly dodging the attack from the Heartless People. Your agility proficiency increased by 4."
As soon as Lu Ren landed, he drew two longswords from his waist and slashed towards the fist returning to him, the sharp blades slicing through the air with a sharp, continuous whistling sound.
The monster known as the Heartless People seed to also notice the sharpness of the blades in Lu Ren’s hands, capable of severing his arm.
His body shook as if on fire, and the fist that was like a drilling gun abruptly retracted, seemingly without any inertia or impact force.
Such formidable physical resilience!
Lu Ren maintained a calm deanor, continuously wielding, picking, chopping, parrying, and drawing with his twin swords.
His movents were seamless, without the slightest delay.
Although Basic Swordsmanship was only at an Initial Glimpse level, it was a level that ordinary people could only reach after four or five years of hard practice and constant sparring.
The coordination of hand, eye, and body ant fully mastering the Basic Sword Form, transforming it into a bodily instinct that could be executed without hesitation during combat with the enemy.
A rigid full set of moves and an adaptable use of best techniques based on combat conditions are two entirely different concepts.
"Ding, your Basic Swordsmanship proficiency increases by 1 due to your concentrated dual sword wielding."
"Ding, your Strength Proficiency increases by 1 due to your concentrated dual sword wielding."
"Ding, your Agility Proficiency increases by 1 due to your concentrated dual sword wielding."
"Ding, due to..."
A string of system alerts erged in Lu Ren’s mind, but he didn’t pay them any heed. He kept a focused gaze on the movents of the Heartless People before him, his dual swords almost forming a rain of swords that enveloped the opponent, preventing any counterattacking opportunities.
Fighting with weapons and fighting unard are two entirely different concepts. Normally, even a skilled boxing fighter would be wary of facing soone wielding a knife indiscriminately and would only dare approach by relying on the environnt, constantly looking for chances, provided they are brave and ticulous.
Generally speaking, running is the best solution.
This requires an extrely strong situational psychological awareness.
There are many such cases in the world, where a fighting expert in the ring gets knocked down by a punk with a knife in a bar fight.
Therefore, the weapon in hand gave Lu Ren imnse confidence.
Suddenly, Lu Ren finally seized the mont when the opponent stepped back and stepped on a stone, causing a slight pause in his movent, and he dislocated the opponent’s left shoulder.
Under the sharp Exotic Sword, the sensation to Lu Ren felt like cutting through tofu, and the opponent’s strong muscles and bones offered no resistance.
At the sa ti, Lu Ren thrust his left-hand sword straight towards the Heartless People’s heart.
However, this Heartless People seed to feel no pain, imdiately sinking his waist and twisting his hips.
Lu Ren’s longsword rely grazed the edge of his skin.
Damn!
Watching the opponent thrust a right punch upwards, aiming straight for his chin, the forceful wind even made Lu Ren feel his facial skin sliding backward.
If hit by that punch, Lu Ren could foresee his jaw shattering completely, rendering him imdiately unable to fight and unconscious on the ground.
Lu Ren gritted his teeth, exerted strength in his waist and abdon, and lifted his head, anwhile slashing diagonally with his right hand sword.
Slash!
A sound of flesh being pierced rang out, and Lu Ren’s raised gaze suddenly saw an arm appear in his line of sight, followed by the opponent’s severed arm flying through the air.
Lu Ren staggered back several steps, shifting his gaze to see the Heartless People now without arms.
No signs of blood were visible, the blackish-brown muscular tissue squird, appearing disgusting.
The armless Heartless People still showed no expression, leaping high with one step, and then swung his right leg down like a falling axe.
However, after losing both arms, the Heartless People’s balance was significantly reduced, appearing much slower in Lu Ren’s eyes, with a substantial imbalance in his movents.
Lu Ren sidestepped and twisted his waist to dodge the direct chop attack, slashing out with a tily sword as he was falling, slicing off the opponent’s right leg.
What surprised him was that the Heartless People spun his torso mid-air, sending his left foot kicking towards Lu Ren’s ribs.
The force generated by the powerful waist and abdominal strength was definitely more than Lu Ren could handle at the mont, and he barely had ti to react, rely instinctively placing the longsword held in his left hand horizontally in front.
Thud!
Lu Ren was knocked back six ters, tumbling on the ground several tis before stopping. Enduring the imnse pain, he struggled to get up, staring intently at the Heartless People with one leg remaining.
If not for the sword horizontally blocking his right side ribs, his ribs might have broken, affecting his internal organs and rendering him incapable of fighting.
Even so, his ribs were numb and painful, limiting his movent ability to so extent.
At this point, with the Heartless People’s foot having kicked out, he already fell on the ground, struggling mightily.
Lu Ren glanced at the girl, who had a stunned expression as if her worldview was collapsing, then wielded his longsword in both hands, lunging forward, and decapitated the Heartless People.
Only then did the Heartless People finally co to a halt, without any further movent.
"Ding, under a stroke of genius, you delivered a deadly blow to kill the Heartless People, increasing your Basic Swordsmanship proficiency by 50."
Dear God, a stroke of genius!
Lu Ren cursed inwardly, then walked over to the girl lying on the ground. Before she could speak, Lu Ren coldly said, "Shut up."
After saying that, he sheathed the longsword in his left hand back into his belt, grabbed her collar, and quickly left the scene.
Although he was quite disgusted, those words urging him to leave finally prompted Lu Ren to carry her away.
The fight with the Heartless People was resolved within two minutes; in a real life-and-death battle, attacking the opponent’s vital points can end it very quickly.
