Chapter 87

His body would instantly turn into tomato sauce.

The thinnest kind!

Su Ming immediately changed his stance, crossing his dual swords, and the two swords suspended in mid-air also suddenly inverted and flew over.

Forming a wonderful overlapping sword stance.

The four swords crossed together, like a strange support, yet possessed the most perfect mechanical characteristics.

Forcibly blocking the two giant hammers!

But Su Ming also felt his hands shake violently, and his wrists were numbed!

He had tried his best to unload the force, but his brain was still buzzing from the shock.

However, a somewhat crazy smile flashed in his eyes at this moment.

"Hehe, it's not that terrifying after all..."

Su Ming’s smile was like that of an Asura.

The power of sword techniques is inherently boosted by the Agility attribute!

Investing in Strength does provide a bonus, of course, but not as much as Agility.

Only classes using blunt weapons, gauntlets, and the like gain the highest bonuses from the Strength attribute.

A swordsman can certainly invest in Strength, but that leads down a different, berserk path of the Frenzied Swordsman.

Under the support of his super-high Agility attribute, Su Ming’s swordsmanship was not only fast but also possessed immense force.

It could even rival the skills of certain monsters that relied purely on Strength.

Coupled with the twenty-fold bonus from his Origin Sword Body, it was no surprise he could take on these twin hammers!

"I could use the God-Concealing Steps or the Lingbo Micro-steps to dodge, but..."

"If I don't know the true force of your attacks, I won't be able to maintain total mastery and confidence for the battles to come."

The attributes scanned by the Eye of Insight are, after all, just data on paper.

Su Ming was a master who had experienced countless battles.

He knew that the true power of an attack could never be deduced from a mere sheet of data!

One had to account for skill effects, the enemy's level of rage, emotions, status, monster species, muscle density, and other precise metrics.

The Eye of Insight could only provide a rough range.

Therefore, the only way to perceive exactly how heavy an opponent's attack was, was to feel it with his own two hands!

"That is why I... chose to take it head-on."

"Only in this way can I defeat you with the greatest speed!"

Su Ming said in a deep voice.

However... he hadn't been able to resist it completely!

Boom.

The next instant, deep green light flickered in the eyes of the two skeletons, and they directly increased the power behind their hammers once more.

Su Ming’s sword could no longer hold up.

The webbing between his thumb and index finger was torn, and a few drops of blood flowed out.

After all, these were the attacks of two elite monsters with Strength values exceeding 400 points.

For a swordsman like him to block it for even an instant was already the limit; it was impossible to stop it entirely.

But Su Ming was not panicked in the slightest!

He abruptly retracted his sword and retreated three steps.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, he drifted away from the hammers with ease.

Boom!

The giant hammers smashed down, scattering the thick fog and leaving a massive crater in the ice.

"That’s enough... I know exactly how much your attacks are worth now."

"Nothing more than a level that causes severe injury upon contact."

The killing intent in Su Ming’s eyes was piercingly cold.

He spoke lightly.

But what was the concept of "injury upon contact"?

It meant the opponent's attack damage was extremely high!

To the extent that a mere graze would drain a massive amount of HP—that is what is called "severe injury upon contact."

Only extremely heavy weapons, paired with a considerably high Strength attribute, could achieve such power.

If one were accidentally struck in the shoulder, the entire scapula, along with the arm and upper chest cavity, would be blasted into a mist of blood.

If struck in the thigh, the entire pelvis and leg would be shattered.

Yet, Su Ming felt no fear toward this level of attack!

His voice remained exceptionally calm.

There was no panic in his eyes, only a hint of a murderous smile about to erupt!

He... already knew how to kill them!

These two skeletons were too slow!

Even if their skills were blocked head-on, they had no ability to change their tactics.

They only knew how to futilely increase their strength.

Very clumsy.

This was the information Su Ming had tested out.

He had chosen to take their attacks head-on precisely to obtain this information.

Now, he could fight centered around this information and slay the enemies in one strike!

Probing the enemy's trump cards and weaknesses, then waiting for the opportunity to strike and kill in one blow.

This was Su Ming’s combat style.

It focused on pure killing efficiency and the crisp, clean execution of a one-hit kill!

The act of probing for information might seem to slow down the pace of battle.

But as the saying goes, haste makes waste; in reality, knowing oneself and the enemy is the only way to defeat them faster.

Su Ming was well-versed in the Dao of combat.

His figure suddenly flickered, his robes fluttering.

He unleashed the Lingbo Micro-steps.

He charged head-on toward the two skeletons.

Su Ming’s figure turned into a gray afterimage, running circles around them.

Every now and then, he would slash out a few times.

Su Ming also used Sword Control to mobilize two additional swords!

The Profound Ice Sword and the Ink Fall Sword.

The two weapons of the dual-sword skeleton.

These two swords were also very powerful, their quality on the same level as the Shadow Flow Longsword.

Their sharpness was very high.

Cutting through the skin and flesh of these two skeleton elite monsters was not difficult.

Added to his Mind-Blade, Profound Sharp Sword, and the blades in his left and right hands.

Su Ming was now...

Controlling six swords to attack simultaneously!

Even though his Mental Power had reached 170, he could not sustain this for long.

The consumption was terrifying.

Six swords hacking wildly.

He was determined to end the battle quickly!

In mid-air, pitch-black congealed blood sprayed out.

The HP of the two war-hammer skeletons was dropping crazily.
