Chapter 90: Flying Sword?
From the scene, the raging man held an absolute advantage. Yet, no one knew that this seemingly mighty man was silently grumbling in pain.
Although every punch he threw caused the golden light to dent inward, making the entire golden shield tremble, it seemed only a matter of time before this protective layer would be torn apart.
But who would have guessed that whenever his limbs touched the golden light, he would feel a resilient rebound force? The harder he struck, the stronger the recoil became. His hands and feet were already in severe pain, and once he stopped, they would surely swell immediately.
Moreover, the golden light was incredibly tenacious. The dents he created immediately restored to their original form when he withdrew his attack, as if they had never been struck. Even if he continuously hit the same spot, it would only maintain the dented shape without deepening it even a little.
Thus, the burly man’s attacks lasted for quite some time, yet the golden shield remained imposing and trembling, seemingly on the verge of breaking.
At this moment, everyone’s thoughts took a complete turn. They all realized that the man could not break through the shield. His immense strength could only cause it to shake slightly but could not destroy it completely.
Therefore, not only did Jia Tianlong dismiss the idea of sending people forward, but even the dwarf himself grew calm.
However, because of his earlier failure, Master Golden Light’s expression darkened with humiliation and anger. His gaze toward the man became even more vicious. But due to the continuous attacks, he couldn’t stabilize his stance, leading to repeated errors in his spellcasting.
So he simply stopped forming hand seals and instead fixed his eyes on the man, muttering curses in a dialect no one else could understand.
The man seemed oblivious to all this and kept attacking the golden shield wildly. Just when everyone thought the man would never tire and stop,
“Bang! Bang! Boom!” After exerting all his strength to throw two punches and a kick, the man suddenly turned and sprinted backward. Despite his massive body, his speed was surprisingly fast.
His sudden move startled the onlookers, causing an uproar.
Master Golden Light was stunned for a moment, but immediately flew into a rage. He hurriedly sat cross-legged, placing the black box across his legs, reciting incantations. His fingers lifted to his chest, forming strange gestures and trembling with great effort. Judging by how difficult it was for him to move his fingers, it seemed as if each one was burdened with thousands of pounds of force.
By now, the man was only a few steps from the Seven Mysteries Sect’s main formation, nearly escaping into the crowd.
Suddenly, a loud command of “Rise!” sounded from behind. Then he saw Wang Juechu and others’ faces change drastically. Almost simultaneously, they shouted, “Watch out!”
The man was shocked and quickly dodged to the left, glancing back.
A faint gray light blazed past the spot he had just occupied like a flash of lightning.
He tensed but soon relaxed. Since he had dodged this hidden weapon, he could reunite safely with his two senior brothers, feeling assured.
Before he could finish this thought, a sudden sharp pain shot through his right arm. He instinctively looked down, but before he could see clearly, a chorus of exclamations arose — including the anxious voices of his two senior brothers.
The man was momentarily stunned and confused. Then a flash of light appeared before his eyes — a gray ray pierced through his chest. It was the same hidden weapon he had just dodged.
Filled with shock and anger, he tried to speak, but his body suddenly collapsed to the ground with a thud. Only then did he realize his right arm was severed at the shoulder, blood pouring out profusely.
“What… what happened?” The man’s mind was filled with questions and unwillingness as everything went black.
Until his death, the man never understood what had just happened, but the wild wolf gang and observers from the Seven Mysteries Sect had seen everything clearly.
