Chapter 440 (2/2)

Then who was he?

Lubi saw his opponent grin. Within that grin was violence and threat, he felt the hair on his back standing. Chills pierced through his spine into his head.

Before he could react, a huge force travelled through his hammer’s handle. He could not do anything other than plant his feet into the ground harder.

The power resisting against his hammer skyrocketed, he had no time to prepare.

Fight it!

He must fight it!

Oh no!

Crackles came from the ground underneath him, extending behind him.

And then he was stepping backwards.

Lubi could not withstand the force, his opponent was forcing him back!

His eyebrows twitched, disbelief filled his eyes. Both his arms supporting the hammer felt incredibly sore.

However, the force was still increasing.

The totemic power within Shao Xuan rose like a manic force. Ever since his trip to Gongjia Mountain, he had noticed how tumultuous his powers could be.

Stronger, stronger!

Power! More power!

The power flowing through his muscles, veins, bones and even his blood were all unleashed, exploding into a mighty strike.

Shao Xuan’s glare grew sharper and sharper. Lubi dared not look straight into them.

Lubi’s muscles were all shaking. He wanted to block the force but could not. He was now falling back quicker. His two feet, initially planted into the ground, were now sliding backwards uncontrollably.

Pieces of rubble flew behind his heels, he was now like a bull ploughing a deep trench in the fields. Lubi felt a burning in his heels from all the friction.

He felt like he wasn’t up against a human, it was a monster he had awakened. This monster had released all inhibitions, roaring in his face.

Everyone else was frozen like statues.

Other than the ones dodging behind Lubi, the audience was frozen in a position, eyes bulging out of their heads.

When his strength reached the peak, his arms tensed and he flipped the hammer up in the air using his blade. The reached one hand out to catch the hammer.

A sharp pain travelled through Lubi’s arms, both shoulders cracked as they were snapped out of their joints. His hands were now empty.

He hadn’t even done much and his opponent had already taken his hammer!

Lubi wanted to get the hammer back but he saw a flash and felt a blade coming. The blade was about to chop off his head in a second. He had no choice but to step back to avoid it.

Shao Xuan retracted his sword. He tried the weight of the hammer in one hand. Since it was custom-made for Lubi, the handle was thick. It was just right for Lubi’s fingers but for Shao Xuan, his fingers could not wrap around the entire handle. Though he could still weild it.

Shao Xuan looked at the panting Lubi, who was still in shock. Then, without sparing Lubis’ dignity, he swung the hammer.

The explosions from the fight had attracted many people.

There was a fight, of course more people would come to watch.

“So who’s fighting who?” someone asked.

“One side’s the Lu family, the other side… Who’s that guy? The kid with the totemic patterns doesn’t look like he’s from the Black Bear party.”

“You’re talking about the Lu family? The ones from Linlu tribe, new to King City?” someone asked excitedly.

“Linlu tribe? I heard Lubi wields a large hammer. Is the guy with the hammer the legendary Lubi?”
