Chapter 100 - Two Bottles of Potion (2/2)
At the command of the scarred man, more than a dozen Bloodwolves Thieves abandoned their targets of robbery and grabbed their weapons, rus.h.i.+ng toward Lin Li.
“I’ll leave it to you, Sean.” However, Lin Li did not release any magic. He handed two bottles of potion to the honest young man and told him, “Drink the yellow one first, then the red one a minute later.”
Then, the fellow went into a theater-spectator mode completely.
“Ah?” Before Sean could understand what was going on, a dozen strong men had already pounced on him. Sean could only grasp his double-edged sword tightly and sweep at them in a hurry.
Ddang! Ddang! Ddang…
In an instant, the sound of gold and iron rang out without end. How horrifying was Sean’s strange power—the innate strength was almost demon-like, bursting out in an instant. The robbers, who were equally ranked at level-five, all collapsed at the touch. In that moment, they felt as if they had hit an iron plate. Several robbers had no time to respond before they slammed into the wall heavily…
After the sweep had forced the crowd back, Sean opened the bottle of yellow potion and poured it down.
As soon as he drank the yellow potion, Sean felt a warm current growing in his body. And as the warm current flowed rapidly, his skin became rough and hard at once. When he touched it with his hand, it felt like rock…
“Sean, fight well.”
“Yes! Mr Felic!”
Although Sean was slightly dim-witted, the change in his body was too obvious. How could he not realize that the potion he drank was definitely not a simple one? After all, Mr Felic was Jarrosus’ famous potion master!
Sean was extraordinarily valorous with that layer of rock-hard skin as protection.
In the face of an enemy with numbers ten times his own, Sean did not retreat. He held his double-edged sword high in his hands and rushed forward like a tiger diving into a flock of sheep. In a moment, only a splatter of blood could be seen.
For the Bloodwolves Thieves, this was but a slaughter. The double-edged sword, almost half as tall as a man, was frightening enough. You’d either be chopped to death or crushed to death by it. And look at this monster—his skin was as hard as the scales of a magical beast. No matter what weapons were used against it, only tinkling sounds could be heard; it was impossible to hurt a single hair on his body.
With the addition of his terrifying strength, none of the dozen or so members of the Bloodwolves Thieves could confront him. Every collision of weapons would end with the members of the Bloodwolves Thieves being blown away.
“…” In the blink of an eye, the burly scarred man had lost several of his men. He wanted to throw up blood.
Before deciding to rob the inn, he had already looked clearly into the guests staying tonight, making sure that none of them was above level-eight. He could not understand how such a monster would suddenly appear.
Just look at the terrible strength and the formidable double-edged sword—the seemingly disorganized chops turned out to be so terrifying and acute. He had worked so hard to bring his men up; if he just let them die like this, there would be no one left in the Bloodwolves Thieves…
“Let me do it!” the burly scar-faced man bellowed and jumped forth with a machete in his hand.
The level-eight warrior did have some skills. Although his strength was not yet able to compete with Sean’s, his skillful martial arts and rich combat experience were far beyond those of Sean. The machete was like a venomous snake—every strike was aiming for Sean’s eyes. The protection of the potion, however powerful, could not protect the exposed eyes. So, Sean had to retreat again and again.
In an instant, there was an exchange of offense and defense. Sean managed to parry the offensive with strike after strike of the sword, but his feet withdrew repeatedly, and soon, he stood in front of Lin Li.
“Drink the other bottle!”
“Oh…” Sean delivered another powerful strike, sending the burly scarred man flying. He had no time to build on this victory; he quickly opened the bottle of the red potion with one hand and downed it.
The previous yellow potion had brought a warm feeling, but this red potion brought on a burning sensation. Sean seemed to sense a strong smell of blood, and in a moment, he felt a gush of vigor rus.h.i.+ng straight to his head. His eyes swelled with pain, and even the scenery in front became blurred…
And all this brought about an unprecedented strength.
In that moment, Sean could sense that his whole body was full of explosive power. He seemed to hear the ground cracking with every step he took. He held the heavy double-edged sword firmly in his hand, but it felt as light as a feather. The extreme power filled his body, and it was as if he was going to explode.
“Howl!”
