14 The Fallen Berserker (1/2)
It’s a Berserker from another tribe and he’s alone! Judging by his Qi, he should only be at the second level of the Blood Solidification Realm…It’ll be easy to kill him! We’re also near the tribe and we’re going up two against one. There’s no need for us to be afraid of him. Nevertheless, since this person has come to challenge us, he must have some tricks up his sleeve. But with my power as a third level Berserker, it’ll be fine.” The slightly shorter third level Berserker from the Black Mountain Tribe smiled fiercely. He was not at all worried about Su Ming. In his view, the difference between them was too big. Su Ming was also frail looking, so he did not look as if he posed a threat.
More importantly, besides the Wind Stream Tribe, if any of the Black Mountain Tribe members saw a person from another tribe wandering around alone, they would definitely kill the person without mercy. There was no room for negotiation. This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak.
If Xiao Hong had not ventured out to lure them away, they would have entered the cave, killed Su Ming and taken his head back to the tribe for rewards.
”Yu Chi, I’ll kill him. Wait here.” As he spoke, the big man leapt forward like a tiger, closing the gap between him and Su Ming in just a few breaths.
Yu Chi, the man holding onto the little monkey, did not object. He knew that if he killed a Berserker from another tribe and brought his head back to the tribe, he would receive rewards. However, he did not dare snatch away his companion’s achievements.
‘It’s fine. That man is also at the second level like me. If we fight, then we’ll be wasting some time. If he goes, then he’ll definitely be able to kill him. Maybe I’ll even get to share some of his rewards.’ To Yu Chi, this was a meaningless battle. His eyes were filled with a cruel anticipation, as if he could see what would happen next. He was getting excited by the prospect of spilling blood.
The third level Berserker who was getting nearer to Su Ming also had a similar thought. He jumped forward and quickly closed the distance. Very soon, there was not even 1,000 feet between them.
800 feet, 700 feet, and then 600 feet!
As he got closer, the man saw Su Ming’s face clearly. He let out a roar as he grinned fiercely.His roar alone caused the snow around him to quake and toss into the air. They exploded in a loud bang, creating a layer of white mist which blinded their sights.
At that moment, the man grabbed a long spear from his back with his right hand. He threw it with all his strength at Su Ming, who was standing more than 600 feet away from him.
A sharp and piercing sound sliced through the air. Su Ming felt a sharp and fierce aura coming straight at him. Without thinking, he stepped aside and a whistling sound whipped by his ear. The long spear flew past and just missed him by a hair’s breadth.
The man did not approach to check his kill once he threw the spear. Instead, dark wisps of air surrounded his legs, increasing his traveling speed instantly by a dozen fold. Very soon the distance between them was cut down from 600 feet to 300 feet.
”Die!” The man raised his right hand and took out a second spear. Just as he was about to throw it, the mist created by snow scattered. This allowed some of Su Ming’s field of vision to return. As it did, an arrow pierced through the snow and rushed towards the man like a flash of lightning.
The man laughed. He raised the spear in his right hand and knocked down the arrow easily. With a crash, the arrow broke into pieces. However at the same time, whistling sounds whipped through the air again and another three arrows came straight towards him.
The arrows were too quick and the angle at which they traveled made it extremely difficult to dodge. It was becoming problematic for him. It made the man frown, but he still scoffed at them and let out a huge blast of dark air underneath his feet. It quickly surrounded his entire body like mist. As the three arrows approached him, they melted into a pool of black water when they touched the black mist.
Even so, much of the black mist had dispersed, causing the man’s body to be exposed.
”You’re only at the second level of the Blood Solidification Realm and you dare oppose me?” The man took a leap and the distance between them had shortened again, and this time, to 200 feet.
Su Ming’s face was pale but he held his ground. There were no traces of anxiety within his eyes, just the same chilling calmness.
He took out a few more arrows and fired them rapidly at the man. Once, twice, thrice and with incredible speed, he fired five arrows in succession!
The five arrows practically formed a straight line and the whistling sound they caused as they sliced through the air made it seem as if they had a lot of power. They reached the man almost immediately. When he saw it, he frowned slightly. In their tribe, there were few who could use bows like that.
”The Five Connected!” The man raised the spear in his right hand and swung it against the first arrow. There was a loud crash and the spear broke along with the first arrow.
The second arrow followed quickly. The man let out a low growl and made the black mist surround his body, causing the second arrow to melt as they touched it.
The third arrow approached like lightning but the man dodged it by stepping aside. He was quickly chased by the fourth arrow. The man growled and clenched his right fist with a fierce expression. Then he swung it at the arrow. As the arrow broke, a wound appeared on his right hand.
At that moment, the fifth arrow followed closely like a shadow. The man wanted to dodge it but the arrow managed to leave behind a wound on his shoulder as it whistled by him. Fresh blood immediately poured out of his wound.
”I will tear your head off from your shoulders!” The man was not seriously wounded. He only had small wounds and they were considered inconsequential to the members of the Berserker Tribe. However to the man, it was different. He grinned fiercely and traveled another 100 feet closer to Su Ming.
