Chapter 143

Two silhouettes collided instantly.

The impact force carried by Tang Zheng's rapid descent from the air, combined with the passives "Courage Aura" and "Weapon Extra Mastery," produced nearly triple the attack power.

Boom!

A huge, ear-piercing collision sound spread through the forest; a powerful impact erupted with the two as the center, and the lush branches and leaves on the strangely shaped trees nearby were cleared out and pulverized in one breath.

It became completely bare!

The Forest Sage King Hamsuke let out a scream; its sharp forelimbs, which were waving, were forcibly pressed back under this astonishing force and collided with its own chest.

Thump, thump, thump—

The Forest Sage King Hamsuke's seemingly fat, oval body was knocked flying like a ball, smashing through dozens of large trees along the way before it stopped.

"I'm so angry!"

"How did your strength suddenly become so great!"

The Forest Sage King Hamsuke screamed angrily, climbed up from the ground with its rolling body, shook off the wood chips and branch debris on its body, and stared at Tang Zheng with glowing, fierce eyes.

"Did an attack of that level just now really not cause any obvious injuries?" Tang Zheng's eyelids twitched when he saw the Forest Sage King Hamsuke in the distance, who was almost unscathed.

Just how thick is this guy's skin?

Tang Zheng suddenly remembered that the two-handed greatsword created by Ainz using the Seventh-Rank magic "Create Higher Item" seemed unable to easily break through the Forest Sage King Hamsuke's defense.

"To be able to knock me flying, it looks like you used some kind of technique, but you can already be proud, human powerhouse."

The whiskers on both sides of the Forest Sage King Hamsuke's cheeks stood up, and it seemed very angry: "I will properly taste your flavor."

Once the words were spoken.

The Forest Sage King Hamsuke's body sank downward.

A black afterimage ejected from behind the Forest Sage King Hamsuke and, with extraordinary speed, appeared before Tang Zheng in the blink of an eye.

Bang!!

Tang Zheng quickly waved his magic greatsword to block in front of him; the black-gray tail covered in scales hit the magic greatsword heavily, making his arm sink.

Tang Zheng waved the magic greatsword, flicked the black-gray tail to one side, and his body rushed forward rapidly, preparing to approach the Forest Sage King Hamsuke again.

Whoosh—

Tang Zheng's eyelids twitched; he forcibly braked his forward rushing motion and his legs quickly exerted force to jump backward.

That thick, black-gray tail actually bent flexibly in mid-air and attacked Tang Zheng from the side.

He waved the magic greatsword again to collide with the tail, emitting a dull sound!

However!

This thick tail, with an extremely dexterous movement like a soft snake body, quickly entangled the magic greatsword in Tang Zheng's hand and pulled it downward with force.

Tang Zheng, who had just changed his movement and hadn't stood steady yet, had his balance disrupted by this sudden downward pull and tilted forward uncontrollably, crashing toward the tail wrapped around the magic greatsword.

Clang—clang—

In this instant!

The dense layers of scales on the black-gray tail actually all stood up, turning into sharp blades.

"Instant Reflex!"

Tang Zheng's eyes widened; a flash of blue light passed over his body, and his state of tilting forward and losing balance was forcibly reversed, and he stood his ground.

Immediately following.

Tang Zheng's eyes turned cold; he simultaneously gripped the hilt of the magic greatsword and smashed it toward the ground with force.

The blade of the magic greatsword slashed onto the tail wrapped around the sword body, colliding with the fine, blade-like scales, emitting an ear-piercing metallic friction sound and bursting with dense sparks!

Whoosh!

The black-gray tail quickly loosened its entanglement on the magic greatsword.

Boom!

A loud noise came from above, and a shadow shrouded Tang Zheng.

It turned out that the Forest Sage King Hamsuke, which had originally been in the distance, suddenly jumped, easily crossed a distance of more than ten meters, appeared in the sky above his head, and pressed down heavily.

"Blindness!" The Forest Sage King Hamsuke's slightly sharp scream rang out, and a pattern similar to a magic circle flashed on its body.

Not good!

Tang Zheng was slightly startled in his heart; he only felt his eyes go dark, and his vision was rapidly lost; he almost forgot that this hamster had other magical means.

This was not mental magic, but a negative status, so naturally, he couldn't use "Undead's Spirit" to defend against it.

"Divine Body" on the attribute panel flashed slightly!

This was a passive ability that could reduce all negative statuses by half.

Tang Zheng, who should have completely lost his vision, now felt as if there was a translucent membrane between his eyes, and his vision was still very blurry.

The sound of the Forest Sage King Hamsuke falling reached Tang Zheng's ears; due to the sudden influence on his vision, Tang Zheng's dodging movement couldn't help but be a beat slow.

Even if he could dodge it completely!

In the current situation of blurry vision, Tang Zheng couldn't accurately observe the Forest Sage King Hamsuke's attack movements.

"Impure Impact Shield!" Tang Zheng let out a cold shout.

Boom!

A black energy shockwave instantly spread to the surroundings with Tang Zheng as the center.

"What is this—ah!"

The Forest Sage King Hamsuke, falling from the air, hadn't reacted yet before it was blasted away again by this irresistible impact force, smashing into the forest dozens of meters away and emitting a loud noise.

"Fly!" Tang Zheng released the magic, left the ground, and quickly soared into the air.

The Forest Sage King Hamsuke climbed up from the ground, dizzy and disoriented, and coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood from the corner of its mouth; the powerful impact just now clearly caused it some internal injuries.

Bang!

The ground shook, and rotten leaves flew everywhere.

The Forest Sage King Hamsuke moved its four limbs and rushed out from the forest in the distance with red eyes, heading toward Tang Zheng's position just now, but it found that there was no one there.

"Damn human! Get down here for me!"

The Forest Sage King Hamsuke noticed Tang Zheng hovering in the sky at this time and screamed angrily.

=9+Book_Bar

Facing the shouting and yelling below!

Tang Zheng chose to ignore it; after waiting for about five or six minutes, the effect of "Blindness" finally completely receded.

Lowering his head!

The Forest Sage King Hamsuke's red eyes collided with Tang Zheng's cold gaze.

In a brief instant!

"Die!"

Tang Zheng dived down again; this time the speed was faster than the last time, and the strong airflow blew his loose robes, making them rustle.

"Get down here for me!"

The Forest Sage King Hamsuke stood up, raised its two forelimbs to reveal its sharp black claws, and simultaneously pressed its body down; its tail, covered in scales, ejected and headed straight for the sky.

The black tail afterimage turned into a long whip, broke through the air in front, and attacked straight on!

Tang Zheng's falling silhouette turned to the side, avoiding the tail that was attacking straight.

At Tang Zheng's diving speed, the height of twenty meters was almost covered in a single breath, and both sides had already appeared before each other's eyes.

At the same moment!

The Forest Sage King Hamsuke waved its forelimbs, and ten sharp nails radiated cold light as they slashed over, while the ejected tail also suddenly turned in mid-air, forming a front-and-back pincer attack method.

The same attack method as the beginning!

In a short time, the Forest Sage King Hamsuke had already thought of a countermeasure; its slightly bloodshot eyes revealed an excited and cruel look.

Suddenly!

The Forest Sage King Hamsuke noticed that the hateful human who had rushed before its eyes had a trace of meaningful mockery in his eyes.

"Do you know why I would use the same attack method!"

Tang Zheng's voice rang out, and he shouted loudly: "Dark Wave!"

Swish!

The dark-colored energy impact formed by the curse penetrated the Forest Sage King Hamsuke's body; whether it was the tail returning from above or the waving forelimbs, they simultaneously froze in place.

"Of course, it was to lure you into the trap!"

"Did you really think that relying on your defensive ability made you fearless!"

The magic greatsword in Tang Zheng's hand instantly disappeared, replaced by an ordinary iron sword; cold light surged in his eyes as he aimed at the Forest Sage King Hamsuke's eyes: "Four-Light Continuous Slash · Break!"

Four sharp sword lights appeared in mid-air, instantly merged into one, and stabbed toward the Forest Sage King Hamsuke's eyes!

This attack was originally prepared to deal with the Forest Sage King Hamsuke's troublesome defensive power!

In the anime, Brain used the "Domain" skill to improve accuracy to achieve such an effect, while Tang Zheng used the opposite method.

"Four-Light Continuous Slash" looks like four slashes issued in an instant, but in reality, each attack has a sequence.

When the level was low, Tang Zheng couldn't perceive this change, but when his strength improved, the sequence of the four slashes became clear.

It sounds complicated!

In reality, it is just using stronger base attributes to synthesize the trajectories of the four slashes into one; simply put, it is forcibly slashing the four slashes in one place to form a heavy-strike type of damage.

This point was learned from Gagaran of "Blue Rose," who could unleash a super continuous attack of 15 slashes in one breath like a storm.

Sss—

The blade penetrated the air and hissed!

The only thing the Forest Sage King Hamsuke could do was subconsciously close its eyes, but relying on the defense of its eyelids, it clearly had no way to block this long-planned strike!

The eyelids were instantly torn apart!

The fist-sized eyeball was exposed before the blade and was instantly pierced through.

"Ah!!!"

Intense, severe pain instantly surged through the Forest Sage King Hamsuke's entire body, causing it to let out a scream that resounded through the jungle.

Just as Tang Zheng was preparing to continue stabbing and pierce through the other party's head in one breath!

The Forest Sage King Hamsuke, under the intense pain and the moment the curse status disappeared, twisted its body and threw off the iron sword that had stabbed into its eye socket.

It turned around screaming and fled toward the depths of the jungle!
