Chapter 78 |
Now, Luolin's entire demeanor had transformed.
From being beaten earlier, he had now completely taken the initiative to attack.
Holding a longsword in his hand, he leaned forward and explosively charged, the sword tip pointing directly at the enemy's throat.
Even so, the Demon Ape did not retreat. Instead, it was provoked to anger. It roared once, then charged toward Luolin.
One man, one Demon Ape.
The two collided at the center of the arena, with flames still lingering around them, making the scene appear quite spectacular.
After a hard clash, although Luolin had used clever techniques, he still retreated more than ten steps before dissipating that recoil force. The gap in strength between Luolin himself and this creature was difficult to bridge.
'I need to end this battle quickly...'
Luolin thought to himself. He was naturally aware of his current physical condition. It would be best if he could resolve this battle quickly, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable for him.
It seemed he had found a method.
'Big guy, come on!'
Luolin pressed forward. To the Demon Ape, Luolin's action was a provocation, which it naturally could not tolerate.
After an angry roar, its two arms grabbed toward Luolin.
Luolin relied on his King of Qin-like footwork to dodge, then crouched down and slid across the ground, his face narrowly avoiding being hit, almost getting his face smashed.
A burning sensation came from Luolin's back, his clothes were probably completely worn through.
But Luolin naturally didn't pay much attention to this. The longsword in his hand transformed again under the shroud of blue light.
When the Demon Ape turned around, Luolin had already prepared his attack.
An arrow shot from the bow, piercing the Demon Ape's other eye. Painful cries spread throughout the entire venue.
The Demon Ape continued to wildly swing its arms, but to no effect.
'Good! I hit it!'
Luolin was also very pleased to succeed on the first try.
Although he could now smoothly use this 'special weapon,' Luolin hadn't had extra time earlier to properly work on skills and such.
Now he could only use some so-called unorthodox methods.
However, whether orthodox or unorthodox, as long as it could achieve sufficient effect in battle, then it was a good method.
Luolin cared even less about these things.
Now, with both eyes of the Demon Ape lost, it could not see the situation in the arena. Under the influence of anger and unease, it continuously attacked wildly.
Meanwhile, Luolin tried his best to control his footsteps and breathing, making no sound.
After finding the most perfect opportunity, Luolin directly leaped up, reaching above the Demon Ape, then stepping on its shoulder, his weapon transforming back into a longsword, stabbing directly into the Demon Ape's heart.
'Pfft!'
Luolin successfully pierced in, but because of its dense special fur, it was somewhat difficult and he couldn't stab all the way through in one go.
'Roar!'
In pain, the Demon Ape struggled even more fiercely, swinging its arms. Relying on feeling, it found Luolin's position, then one hand directly grabbed Luolin.
'Hiss...'
The tremendous force in the Demon Ape's hand made Luolin feel like his bones were about to shatter, but there was no other way. Now he didn't even have a chance to retreat.
Luolin continued to push the longsword into the Demon Ape's body.
This was the final gamble. Whoever couldn't hold on and fell first would lose.
This battle would end in such a simple and brutal manner.
'I know you don't want to die either. I know you're probably also struggling to survive, but I also have my reasons for not backing down.
Luolin spoke, actually firming up his own resolve.
Then, Luolin pressed down with all his might using both hands.
"So, I'm sorry!"
"Puchi!"
The longsword pierced in a few more inches, this time directly penetrating the Demon Ape's heart.
No matter how powerful it was, it could no longer continue living.
The Demon Ape used its last bit of strength, still wanting to crush Luolin to death, but in the end it fell powerlessly, slowly losing its last traces of life force in the bright red blood.
Luolin fell to the ground, but he raised his hand high.
This battle, he had won.
"Oh yeah yeah yeah!!!"
"Damn it, going to the rooftop again tonight."
"But it's a bit cold today, maybe I should jump another day instead."
In the audience seats there was naturally both joy and sorrow, but Luolin had no extra energy to care about such things. He felt his vision blurring, his consciousness gradually sinking.
"No... can't fall yet, must get the money and go back."
Luolin still held onto his last belief, but in the end, he still collapsed unconscious from exhaustion.
Several other masked men in black came up from behind and carried Luolin away.
Backstage, Xixizi looked at the unconscious Luolin without saying a word, until the last outsider had left, then she placed Luolin's weapon back beside him.
Looking at Luolin's unconscious state now, Xixizi's emotions also fluctuated a few times.
"You really are a powerful man."
