Chapter 2472

The attack power is fierce...

But before he could catch his breath, another blinding flash of light flared up.

It shot straight at the back of Zhao Chi's head.

That speed is fucking fast!

No shield left!

Armor can block too!

Block or not?

Block my ass! Counterattack!

Giant Form!

In an instant, Zhao Chi's right arm swelled enormously, and the hammer in his hand grew just as huge.

Meng Yuan stared in shock as a hammer over three meters long appeared before him.

But he didn't retreat—there was no time to change his move—and his greatsword still hacked down savagely.

Zhao Chi snorted coldly: "Shatter Rock!"

Whoosh!

The massive steel hammer blazed with red light and smashed out sideways.

"Aaargh!!"

The female staff member nearby had no way to dodge at all and could only watch helplessly as the raised hammer came crashing down.

But luckily the hammer only smashed apart the low wooden wall and didn't hurt her.

"Holy shit!"

Chen Zai retreated rapidly; the wind kicked up by the giant hammer made him barely able to keep his eyes open.

"Kid, too late!"

Meng Yuan had already reached behind him, his long blade chopping straight down.

Whoosh!

Boom!

The greatsword hacked heavily into the wall, stone fragments flying, dust billowing.

Missed!

"What?"

Meng Yuan's eyes went wide; he couldn't believe how Zhao Chi's speed had suddenly become so much faster.

The blade had nearly sliced across the back of Zhao Chi's head, but in an instant Zhao Chi's speed skyrocketed and he dodged that strike in a flash.

But the massive hammer was already smashing in.

Can't dodge!

Meng Yuan had no time to think it through and could only pull back his blade to block.

Boom!

The melon-sized hammer slammed brutally into Meng Yuan's blade, and the greatsword was driven by the hammer to smash into Meng Yuan's beast-fur leather armor as well.

Crack!

A crisp sound of bone splintering rang out.

"Urgh..."

Meng Yuan was sent flying heavily.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Seven or eight lords were sent tumbling in all directions by Meng Yuan's collision, wailing one after another.

All the other lords were completely dumbfounded.

Li Cheng immediately ran over to help Meng Yuan up.

Meng Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, then flung him aside: "Get lost!"

His several subordinates immediately surrounded Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi stared at Meng Yuan: "Captain Meng, three moves are up, right? What are your subordinates doing? Can't afford to lose?"

Meng Yuan's subordinates roared angrily: "Who the hell can't afford to lose? Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhao Chi asked: "Then what are you doing? All looking to die?"

"Get out of the way!"

Meng Yuan ground his teeth.

Only then did his subordinates reluctantly step back a few paces, and one of them cast a healing technique and cured Meng Yuan.

Meng Yuan's expression was very complicated.

He seemed to want to speak, but his lips trembled and he never managed to get out a single word.

One of his subordinates said: "Our Captain Meng was going easy on you—he didn't even change his battle armor, and he didn't use his specialty skills either!"

Zhao Chi mocked with a laugh: "Hah, so what? You're saying what just happened doesn't count? Right? This is your chief captain? Talking like farting?"

"Are you fucking tired of living?" another subordinate raised his longsword.

"I told you to get out of the way, can't you hear me?!" Meng Yuan let out a furious roar, stopping his subordinates.

Zhao Chi stared at Meng Yuan.

Meng Yuan also stared at Zhao Chi.

He kept replaying what had just happened.

That last slash—clearly a guaranteed hit—how could this kid dodge it that fast?

That shouldn't be happening!

He can use teleportation?

Zhao Chi obviously couldn't teleport.

At that instant, he had switched his stats to enhanced movement speed.

The shield was already shattered.

He could have used his armor to take the hit, but it wasn't safe.

If the impact of this strike was strong, it would hurt his body directly. And Meng Yuan was aiming at the back of his head — if that hit his skull, things would get ugly.

So Zhao Chi adjusted his plan in an instant.

Attack power was supplemented by the Gigantification Art, so his stats shifted to a mode with 12 points each in Constitution and Agility, and his enhancement points went to movement speed +936%.

This boosted his base movement speed.

On top of Zhao Chi's 12 points of Agility, movement speed was increased by 936%.

12 points of Agility was already 2.4 times faster than an ordinary person, so this enhancement was equivalent to an ordinary person getting a 2246% boost!

The speed was extreme.

But that was still just base movement speed.

It still had to be multiplied by the 54% movement speed increase from Gale Step.

And the leather boot cosmetic he had just crafted, adding another 160% movement speed.

In that split instant, Zhao Chi's speed was practically indistinguishable from teleportation. He grazed past Meng Yuan's vicious strike and dodged it, while simultaneously landing a counterattack on him.

At this moment.

It wasn't just Meng Yuan whose expression was complicated — Chen Zai, hiding in the corner nearby, wore an equally complicated look.

His mouth hung wide open as he stared in disbelief at the giant Zhao Chi in his right hand.

Then he looked again at Meng Yuan, coughing up blood from the hit, and was genuinely tempted to slip away down the stairs.

The lords in the trading hall watched the two in silence — a quiet so eerie it was unsettling.

None of the staff nearby dared to move either.

Time in the entire hall seemed to have frozen.
