âSad little worm, you don't understand what true power is!â
The crisp and melodious voice was like a bucket of cold water pouring over Tang Haofei, extinguishing the fire of his anger. Looking at the severed arm on the ground and then at the treasure land guardian who was so close, Old Tang's brow twitched, and he immediately felt a tremendous sense of trouble...
If one could sever their own arm, they could just as easily sever their own neck. What do you call that? It's a one-hit kill!
However, the arrow was already nocked; it had to be shot. Or rather, the distance between the guardian and Tang Haofei was simply too closeâonly two meters apart...
To Tang Haofei, this distance was akin to an absolute domainâwhen a pure melee fighter is only two meters away from the enemy, it was clearly a rhythm for throwing punches!
And Tang Haofei, as expected, raised his other arm...
This punch, with lightning flashing, was immensely powerful. Theoretically speaking, there was no creature in this world that could withstand it.
âBoom!â
First came the violent sonic boom cloud.
âCrack, crack!â
Then, the piercing sound of bones cracking.
Tang Haofei stared in shock at his limp fist, which stopped less than three centimeters away from the guardian. Feeling the sharp pain radiating from his arm, Tang Haofei exerted more force, but it felt as though there was an indestructible barrier in front of the treasure land guardian, firmly sealing off Tang Haofei's earth-shattering attack.
Until the woman across from him curled her lips into a mocking smile.
âYou have no idea the gap between us!â
As soon as she said that, a green arrow suddenly appeared out of thin air right in front of Tang Haofei and shot straight into his chest. The sharp pain instantly transmitted from his chest to his neurons, and then Tang Haofei felt the world spin. The green arrow pierced through his bodyâs defensive surface, propelling him away in an instant.
âBoom!â
Tang Haofei slammed into the ground face-first, a complete penetrating wound in his chest, as if narrating the sheer dominance of the recent attack.
Until a hoarse cough rang out.
âCough, cough...â
Tang Haofei struggled to raise his body. The penetrating wound in his chest had drained him of all his strength and much of his internal organs. His invincible skill set, sadly, lacked the self-healing ability, so to put it simply, Tang Haofei had no way to deal with the wound on his chest.
The muscles around the wound continuously contracted, but they could not stop the blood from flowing out in streams. Feeling the power of his body continuously draining with the blood, Tang Haofei instead gave up on the futile struggle and started to analyze the recent turn of events.
âHmm, this should be what it feels like to be one-hit killedâŚâ
He summarized in his mind, and then his fading consciousness began to emit its last glimmer of light.
âUseless attacks; a new layer of defense has formed on her surface, and I canât break through.â
âThe strong physical defense provided by my bodyâs attributes is completely ineffective against the attack. Thereâs some kind of strange energy contained within the attack that renders the first layer of lightning barrier and the second layer of muscular defense uselessâa type of effect similar to âtrue damageââŚâ
âHowever, this energyâŚâ
His consciousness grew more and more blurred until a bare little foot stepped on Old Tangâs face.
Tang Haofei froze, then flew into a rage, followed by weakness.
From above, he heard the guardian's furious voice.
âAnt-like creature, how could you make me waste so much origin powerâŚâ
A flash of inspiration struck him in his mind. The little information inadvertently revealed by the treasure land guardian, who did not know Tang Haofeiâs skill system, had already led Tang Haofei to discover the source of his suppression.
Using the last ounce of strength in his body, Tang Haofei lifted his severely injured hand and gave the treasure land guardian the middle finger.
