Immortal Stars - Chapter 37
Chapter 37 Crimson Flame vs Thunder
Even though Golden Shield was knowledgeable, he had never heard of anyone who could unleash a terrifying force of 20,000 kilograms at level five!
Ordinary level-five punches had a strength of about 3,000 kg, peak level-five punches had a strength of 5,000 kg, and ordinary level-six punches had a strength of 7,000 kg. Their physical bodies were solidified, and their fist strength increased slowly. Those who could reach 10,000 kg at peak level-six were usually famous people in the top ten legions.
These belonged to the basic fist strength. Usually, one could double the fist strength when it was added with the strength output level. However, it was already impressive for a mid-stage level-five student to reach 10,000 kg. Wang Xu actually reached 20,000 kg!
“My God, I’m not seeing things, am I?” Red Ax wiped his eyes in disbelief.
Black Whip and Blue Sword opened their mouths. There was nothing but surprise on their faces.
Genius!
A peerless genius! These words came to their minds at the same time.
Wang Xu felt as though the gazes of the members were similar to the gaze of looking at a monster. He smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m sorry. In order to preserve my strength, I hid a little of it. Don’t mind me.”
A little bit?!
The few of them cursed in their hearts. This was 20,000 kilograms of force. The most powerful among them couldn’t even break through 10,000 kilograms. If this was just a little, then what were they?
It was normal for them to preserve their strength. The more trump cards they revealed, the closer they were to death. Everyone knew this. However, the strength that Wang Xu had preserved was too terrifying. It took them a long time to recover from this huge shock.
“Wang Xu, you’ve hidden yourself too well. You’re usually silent like a caveman at the top of a mountain. Your strength is actually so terrifying. Impressive!”
“That’s right. If we didn’t run out of bullets today, you would probably continue to hide
it.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk…”
Gui Suan shook his head. He, who had always had a sharp eye, also couldn’t tell that Wang Xu’s small body hid such shocking potential.
Golden Shield shook his head with a bitter smile. He had originally thought that he was the only level six in the Crimson Flame Legion and was the strongest in the group. Only now did he know that the strongest was someone else. This person was even a newcomer who had just joined the group. As a genius, he was also quite shocked.
The members were more delighted after the shock. It was equivalent to having a big assistant out of thin air with such a terrifying member in the legion. Wouldn’t it be easier to carry out missions in the future?
“Alright, everyone, rest for ten minutes and prepare to hunt the last Single-Horned Ox Beetle. Wang Xu, you’ll be at the front later. It’s time for my old bones to rest.” Golden Shield relaxed and leaned his alloy shield against the tree as he teased.
Wang Xu touched his nose in embarrassment. “Okay, Boss.”
The greater the strength, the greater the responsibility. Previously, Golden Shield was the strongest in the battle group. Only he could withstand the impact of the Single-Horned Ox Beetle and attract its attention. But with Wang Xu’s appearance, they could completely kill the Single-Horned Ox Beetle. There was no need to have a meat shield to attract its attention.
A moment later, everyone recovered some strength and started hunting the Single-Horned Ox Beetle again.
Everyone felt much less pressure this time. Wang Xu’s saber technique was precise and terrifying. It was even more effective than a grenade. Moreover, Wang Xu’s all-out attack was something that even the Single-Horned Ox Beetle could not resist. This time, it could be described as easy.
Bang!
The Blood Bone Giant Saber slashed down with faint lightning and landed on the eyes of the Single-Horned Ox Beetle that was about to enter a berserk state.
“Moo!” Immediately, the Single-Horned Ox Beetle roared. Its eyeball shattered and its berserk state ended. Everyone quickly surrounded it and attacked it.
Wang Xu showed no mercy and slashed out with his saber again. The huge force of more than 20,000 kilograms collided with the steel shell of the Single-Horned Ox Beetle.
Slash!
The shell that was already covered in cracks suddenly shattered.
Everyone was overjoyed and immediately surged forward. They attacked with all kinds of attacks. The Single-Horned Ox Beetle let out a painful roar, blood splashed, and finally fell to the ground unwillingly.
“Haha! This is too easy!” Everyone couldn’t help but cheer.
Previously, killing a Single-Horned Ox Beetle required constant harassment to attract attention. After that, they would attack and retreat. This process was repeated dozens of times before they could barely kill it. It exhausted their stamina and mind.
But now, the Single-Horned Ox Beetle was already unable to resist after only three waves of attacks. The contrast was huge.
Awesome! It felt so good!
This was what everyone was thinking.
“Alright, we’ve killed the last Single-Horned Ox Beetle. Let’s go back.” Golden Shield smiled.
“We’re finally done! I can go back and take a good shower and sleep. I don’t have to face this damn Single-Horned Ox Beetle again in the future. Its shell is so hard. My poor weapon. It has a few nicks.” Red Ax touched his ax with heartache.
“Don’t worry, the reward this time will satisfy you.” Then, Golden Shield took out his optical brain chip and said, “Red Eyes, the mission is completed. Come and gather.”
There was silence on the other end. Not a sound.
“Red Eyes?” Golden Shield had a bad feeling.
Everyone also turned on their communication devices and kept calling Red Eyes.
“No need to call anymore. He’s here.” Suddenly, a discordant voice sounded. The expressions of everyone in the Crimson Flame Legion changed.
A tattered and bloody young man was thrown out like trash. The members of the Crimson Flame Legion only took a glance and recognized the injured and dying young man in front of them. It was Red Eyes!
“Red Eyes!” Golden Shield’s eyes were red as he pounced forward.
Red Eyes was covered in injuries, and almost every part of his body was hurt. Moreover, his limbs had already been shattered. If he wanted to be healed, he would have to pay an unimaginable price, and it might not be completely healed!
Fortunately, Red Eyes was not dead yet. It was just that the intense pain made him faint.
“You… are from the Thunder Legion!” Gui Suan quickly calmed down. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the two men.
Of the two men, one had a stocky build and black skin. His entire body was filled with a wild aura. The other had a gloomy face and a thin face. He was as thin as a bamboo pole, but his palms were as big as cattail fans and suffused with black steel skin.
Both of them had a thunder and lightning medal on their chests. Gui Suan recognized them at a glance. These two were from the top hundred Thunder Legion.
At this moment, a pair of hands pushed the two of them aside and walked out. He looked fierce. He was the leader of the Thunder Legion, Thunder Burst.
As soon as these people appeared, the pupils of everyone in the Crimson Flame Legion constricted.
Two level six and one level seven!
“This is what happens to those who dare to kill the people of the Thunder Legion!” Thunder Burst said gloomily.
From the beginning to the end, his gaze remained on Wang Xu. When he saw the Space Ring on Wang Xu’s finger, his eyes revealed greed.
The moment Black Bear and Iron Palm appeared, Wang Xu had already realized the cause of the matter. Wang Xu’s expression instantly darkened with just one sentence from Thunder Burst.
“Boss, you guys can leave first. These people are here for me.” Wang Xu walked out and stood in front of the crowd.
“Wang Xu?”
The members of the Crimson Flame Legion did not believe that a newcomer like Wang Xu, who had only been here for a few days, would provoke the Thunder Legion, which was ranked in the top 100. Moreover, he had killed someone of the Thunder Legion!
“Those who aren’t involved, get lost quickly. Otherwise, you might accidentally be killed.” Black Bear grinned, revealing its white teeth. His eyes were bloodthirsty.
“Red Ax, put Red Eyes on your back and leave with them,” Golden Shield suddenly stood up and said.
The members of the Crimson Flame Legion were stunned. What was their leader doing? The other party was all at level six, and there was even a level seven expert. Staying here was simply courting death!
“Red Ax, listen to the leader. Hurry up and leave with Red Eyes on your back,” Gui Suan said. He took two steps forward and stood beside Golden Shield behind Wang Xu. Clearly, neither Golden Shield nor Gui Suan planned to leave.
Golden Shield glanced at Gui Suan and shook his head with a bitter smile.
Black Whip and Blue Sword looked at each other as if they had made a decision. They walked out resolutely and said, “Everyone isn’t here yet. There’s no point in going back.”
Red Ax looked at these people in a daze. He also wanted to stand up and be heroic. However, he knew that if he stayed, then Red Eyes would die here. He could only hold back his emotions and put Red Eyes on his back. He looked at them deeply and left quickly.
“Hmph! A bunch of shrimps dare to stand up for him? You guys really don’t know what’s good for you,” Thunder Burst said disdainfully. Then, he looked at Wang Xu and a long saber appeared in his hand.
Thunder Burst was also using a saber technique.
“Go!” Thunder Burst gave the order, and Black Bear and Iron Palm flew out!
“Kill!” Golden Shield took out his alloy shield and roared as he charged forward!
The battle between the two sides was about to begin!
