GOR Chapter 67: Is It About To Begin?
After saying that, the woman in black rushed out!
Her body was extremely strong and she was able to reach the stone monster’s flank in just a few strides. Stepping to the side, her right leg flew out, lashing upwards. The stone monster that had just made it onto the stone platform ended up being kicked down the stone platform by the kick.
The two swords of hers flashed and they shot out, aimed towards another stone monster’s head. The woman in black dashed over and her body soared through the air. As her body was in the air above the stone monster, she made a somersault and pulled out her sword. In the next instant, the stone monster’s head fell down!
By the time the woman in black landed, the stone monster had been reduced to a pile of rubble! Once she made her landing, she quickly bent her body downwards even as she focused ahead.
A thick stone arm arced through the air, buffeting a few strands of the woman in black’s hair.
The woman in black went into a lying position on the ground; both her legs kicked out and her entire body rapidly slid past the gap underneath the stone monster’s body. Her two swords rang out twice and both the stone monster’s legs were cut off. It crashed down to the ground and its upper body struggled desperately to crawl. By then, the woman in black had already turned around. She jumped up and delivered a kick onto its head, sending it flying off a distance of over 2 metres and off the stone platform!
In just a matter of seconds, this woman in black had effortlessly killed off three of the monsters!
Chen Xiaolian watched in a dumbfounded manner!
The woman in black turned her head and spoke out coldly. “Seen enough? If you have, then start helping out!”
Chen Xiaolian curled the corners of his lips. Then, he quickly spoke to Soo Soo. “Stay here!”
He produced the Bone Crusher Axe and headed in the direction of another stone platform.
At that moment, stone monsters were being transformed out from all four sides of the secret chamber’s walls. Those monsters then began to jump towards the centre area from all directions.
Before Chen Xiaolian were several monsters that had just made a jump from over three metres across the mercury lake. Right after they landed, Chen Xiaolian arrived to greet them. He shouted aloud and the Bone Crusher Axe chopped forward horizontally.
The third move of the Demon King of Confusion’s Three Axes, ‘Ear Gouger’ swept out. Chen Xiaolian then felt a shock running through both his arms! Both his purlicues felt numb. Even though the Bone Crusher Axe had successfully hacked apart the waist of the 3 stone monsters before him, Chen Xiaolian could still feel his arms turning numb from the shock!
If he had not been paying extra attention, then he feared that the axe would have slipped out of his hand!
With one attack, he successfully swept 3 of the stone monsters off into the gully. However, Chen Xiaolian immediately realized that the stone monsters were certainly not weaklings! It was obvious that he does not hold the absolute position in terms of strength. Most importantly, however… their bodies were too hard!
A string of sparks burst forth from the edge of Bone Crusher Axe. Chen Xiaolian strained himself to continue carrying the axe and protect the edges of the stone platform. He was able to keep guard over an area of around 5 to 6 metres where he would exert all his strength to deny the stone monsters the opportunity to jump over and get close.
Whenever a monster jumped towards that area, he would quickly rush out to kill it off.
The stone platform he was standing upon had a limited surface area. If the few monsters were able to gain a solid footing upon the platform, then… once they manage to hinder him for just a small moment, even more of the monsters would be able to jump over. Should that happen… such a confined space would lead to him being unable to fight back.
By now, Chen Xiaolian had already used the Demon King of Confusion’s Three Axes 5 to 6 times. The ground beneath his feet was littered with gravel; although most of the stone monsters had fallen into the gully after being struck down.
As for Chen Xiaolian, he had begun gasping. A feeling of unease arose within his heart as he delivered his final strike. As he did, he could hear a teeth grinding creaking sound being emitted! Gone was the sharp cleaving feeling that was present when he first began his attacks.
Clearly… after having continuously used it for hacking stones, Bone Crusher Axe had begun to wear down!
The feeling of soreness and weakness within his arms became increasingly stronger and Chen Xiaolian started using both hands to hold the axe. He then hacked down onto the stone monster before him, sending it falling down the stone platform. Chen Xiaolian then staggered and took two steps back, the Bone Crusher Axe placed down on the ground and he panted.
“It seems you are not as weak as I thought.”
The woman in black’s voice came from behind him. Chen Xiaolian turned around to see the woman standing tens of metres behind him, the ground below her feet too was covered with the broken bodies of the stone monsters. She had already cleaned up all the monsters on her side and was leisurely using the edge of her sword to trim her fingernails.
Chen Xiaolian raised his head to glance at her and was just about to say something when the woman in black opened her eyes and laughed out. “Be careful, they are coming again.”
Hastily turning around, Chen Xiaolian saw that three of the stone monsters were leaping over. He bellowed and lifted the axe, cleaving down onto the one in the middle.
This Head Cleaver strike was executed properly; however, Chen Xiaolian had run out of strength. After the axe cleaved down and split the stone monster’s head, it became lodged onto it. Despite trying his best to pull it out with both hands, he failed. A stone monster then launched its fist, which came screaming towards him from his right!
Reluctantly, Chen Xiaolian dodged away. He let go of the Bone Crusher Axe and rolled back by 2 to 3 metres. The stone monster charged forward and stamped down on him. Chen Xiaolian had to roll away awkwardly yet again. As he struggled to get up, he heard the woman in black’s voice. “Seize the sword!”
With an air-piercing sound, the sword arrived before him! Chen Xiaolian was shocked and he instantly reached out to grab the handle of the sword. Then, he shouted. “You nearly hurt me!”
Turning his hand, he lashed out with the sword. He was still using the axe moves, but when the sword struck out, Chen Xiaolian suddenly felt a difference!
