Chapter 440 - The One With The Hammer
Without a word, Luming and his men unleashed their totemic powers, reaching peak performance in an extremely short time. An energy surge gushed out of their pores as air currents billowed around them. Even the crowd standing further away from them could feel the power flowing.
Within the ten of them, seven had already achieved advanced totemic warrior rank! The other three were weaker but worked well with the team. They contributed wherever they could, looking for the best opportunities to deliver a fatal blow.
In front of Black Bear, Maoda and Guang Yi were two advanced warriors and one middle-ranked totemic warrior. They worked seamlessly together– they’d definitely prepared for this.
Guang Yi initially wanted to help Shao Xuan but these three came for him. In a rage, he had no time to think except unsheathe his bronze sword to parry theirs.
The sound of powerful swords crashing into each other was as deafening as thunder.
Just from one hit, Guang Yi sensed that something was off. There was a dent on his sword!
When Gongjia Heng visited Flaming Horn, he had gifted them ten weapons. At the time, Guang Yi did not take one because he wasn’t used to them. Plus he wanted to let the younger ones take it. His regular weapons were fine. When he followed Shao Xuan here, Duo Kang had wanted to give his knife to Guang Yi but was turned down too. Duo Kang still had to lead his team back and it was going to be dangerous. He was with Shao Xuan and the Black Bears, there shouldn’t be serious trouble.
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?”
The other person paused for a moment. “…No, Lubi… is the guy who’s being chased by the other guy with the hammer.”
