Chapter 97

Jiang Tao felt that his luck today was truly terrible.

He had finally thought about taking his younger sister to the Wanda Plaza to stroll around and watch a movie.

After receiving their custom-made battle sabers, they were on Golden Street preparing to go to the cinema when, unexpectedly, a Space Gate descended without any warning.

Disaster beasts invaded, attacking the crowd; to protect his sister, he had no choice but to draw his battle saber and begin a life-or-death struggle against the disaster beasts.

……

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, you're here too?!"

Jiang Tao's face revealed surprise. At this moment, he was holding his battle saber, looking murderous, his face covered in a mixture of dust and blood; Jiang Jiang Miaoyin, beside him, was not faring much better.

Jiang Jiang Miaoyin's fearful expression also gained a sense of security.

"Heh heh~"

A pitch-black figure transformed into a phantom and lunged out from the corner of a shop behind them.

"Watch out!" Lin Qi called out a warning!

Jiang Tao sensed the danger and instinctively turned to slash with the battle saber in his hand.

"Bang!"

The battle saber in his hand slashed heavily onto the opponent, carving out a massive bloody gash.

"Bang!!"

"Meow~"

The figure slammed heavily into the ground, blood spraying wildly, emitting a shrill, mournful cry. It was a cat-like disaster beast the size of a small calf, pitch-black all over, its speed as fast as lightning.

"It's a Shadow Cat. This guy's speed is like a phantom, and it's best at sneak attacks," Jiang Jiang Miaoyin said through gritted teeth.

"Pfft!!"

Jiang Tao rushed up to deliver another strike, completely ending the Shadow Cat's life.

Lin Qi nodded inwardly; Jiang Tao was even more outstanding than he had imagined, with very quick reactions.

Moreover, he adapted very quickly and had excellent psychological resilience.

His combat talent was also definitely not weak, and his potential was even higher.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, how was that?" Jiang Tao asked with a smile.

"Not bad!" Lin Qi nodded in praise.

"That's right!" Jiang Tao revealed a smug smile.

"No more nonsense; now we'll guard here together. Ah Miao, you quickly get into the back kitchen."

Lin Qi said decisively.

"Okay!"

Jiang Tao and Jiang Jiang Miaoyin exchanged a glance, reached a consensus, and nodded.

"Heh heh!!"

The words had barely left his mouth, and just as the two were about to move, a figure like a super-heavy truck speeding on a highway instantly lunged out from the shopping mall.

Lin Qi sensed intense danger, his expression changing slightly.

After Jiang Tao turned his head and saw the newcomer, his expression changed drastically. The opponent's speed was too fast, especially the sharp horn on its head, which emitted a cold, chilling light.

If he were pierced in the body, his soft internal organs would instantly shatter, so he made a split-second decision to brace his saber in front of him.

This was a pig-type disaster beast, half a size smaller than the Iron-Spiked Wild Boar. Compared to the Iron-Spiked Wild Boar, it didn't feel clumsy at all and was exceptionally agile.

Moreover, its speed was faster than the Mastiff-Toothed Dog, and its strength was more ferocious.

This was a Level 2 disaster beast—the Single-Horned Black Pig.

"Bang!!"

"Clang~"

Only a loud bang was heard as the Single-Horned Black Pig's horn struck the blade, sliding off heavily, but the tyrannical force was also transmitted to Jiang Tao's body.

"Bang-boom!!"

His entire body was sent flying, slamming heavily into the hotpot restaurant a good four or five meters away, crashing through a pile of tables and chairs before finally stopping.

"Brother!!" Jiang Jiang Miaoyin cried out in panic.

"I'm fine!" Jiang Tao, lying on the ground, slowly raised his hand; he felt as though his entire body could barely move.

He endured the excruciating pain and slowly raised his hand.

"Watch out!!"

"Boom!!"

Jiang Jiang Miaoyin sensed danger; she saw the Single-Horned Black Pig continue its charge, and this time, its target had become Jiang Jiang Miaoyin.

She widened her eyes, watching the Single-Horned Black Pig getting closer and closer, and turned to run!

But her running speed was too slow!

The distance between the two was closing, and the intense murderous intent made her feel suffocated!

At the critical moment, a roar came from afar.

"Beast, die!"

Lin Qi was seen instantly taking action not far away, suddenly swinging his great spear and lunging out, a massive, overwhelming force surging continuously into his arms.

Strength rapidly transmitted from his tendons, his spine straightened joint by joint, his blood circulated at high speed, and he felt his body was exceptionally exhilarated.

His strength was several times greater than usual. The great spear in his hand, with the force of Mount Tai crushing down, struck down fiercely like a thunderbolt.

"Mountain-Collapsing Spear Art" killing move—Mountain-Collapsing Slash!

The silver spear tip tore through the air, smashing down heavily toward the Single-Horned Black Pig's head, all his strength gathered within it.

"Bang-clang!!"

The Single-Horned Black Pig turned its head, its horn colliding fiercely with Lin Qi's great spear, sparking a massive shower of sparks, before smashing down onto its head again.

"Bang!!"

Two consecutive loud bangs, and the Single-Horned Black Pig's head was smashed into the ground.

"Roar~"

Lin Qi frowned; the opponent's horn had blocked the force of the great spear, and coupled with its hard skull, he hadn't managed to smash its head in with a single strike.

Is this a Level 2 disaster beast?

!

Its overall strength was far too powerful compared to the Iron-Spiked Wild Boar, Mastiff-Toothed Dog, and Shadow Cat; it was completely not on the same level.

"Roar~"

The Single-Horned Black Pig shook its head vigorously, a vicious smile appearing in its eyes.

"Heh~ heh~"

The Single-Horned Black Pig let out hiss after hiss!

"Brother Lin Qi, another one has come!" Jiang Jiang Miaoyin helped Jiang Tao up and reminded him with a frown.

Lin Qi sensed the danger coming from behind and turned his head abruptly to see a black figure charging from afar.

It was another Single-Horned Black Pig, and most importantly, this one's build was even stronger than the first.

For disaster beasts, strength is easy to judge: just look at their build.

The larger and stronger the build, the greater the strength.

The second Single-Horned Black Pig approached rapidly, its terrifying aura gradually radiating out.

Two Level 2 disaster beasts, the Single-Horned Black Pigs, surrounded Lin Qi.

Fang Fang Huiyi, hiding in the back kitchen, gripped a towel tightly with both hands and said worriedly, "Two Single-Horned Black Pigs, these are both Level 2 disaster beasts; Little Qi is in danger."

Lin Zhen comforted her, "It's fine, Little Qi is a true genius; he will definitely be fine."

Although he said it was fine, he was also very panicked inside; those were two Single-Horned Black Pigs, and looking at the second one's strong build, it was considered strong even among Level 2 disaster beasts.

His own son didn't have much killing experience, and being able to hold on until now already made him feel like he was a prodigy.

"Haha, bullying my classmate from No. 2 High, I, Li Zhou, won't allow it."

A voice came from not far away. A burly figure was seen lunging out from nearby.

Lin Qi was stunned when he saw the newcomer; it was the grade top student, Li Zhou. At this moment, he was bare-chested, his massive pectoral muscles exposed, and bloody claw marks left on his chest.

He held a blood-stained fire axe, radiating a wild aura, and revealed a ferocious grin.

Thus, with the hotpot restaurant as the center, the front and back doors were opened up, with one Single-Horned Black Pig on each side.

The atmosphere of the scene was tense, falling into an eerie silence.

"Lin Qi, I'm the strongest; leave this Single-Horned Black Pig to me."

Li Zhou spoke first.

After speaking, seeing the Single-Horned Black Pig launch its charge, he also immediately lunged out, swinging his battle axe to slash.

Lin Qi didn't refuse and swung his long spear, attacking the Single-Horned Black Pig that wanted to sneak attack.

He hadn't expected the top three students of No. 2 High to meet here at the same time and have to fight side by side.

"Heh~ heh~"

The Single-Horned Black Pig was like a heavy armored vehicle speeding on a highway, instantly crashing over, the horn on its head like a sharp blade, piercing the air.

Lin Qi's figure was agile, like an ape, quickly dodging to the side.

"Boom!!"

Only a loud boom was heard as the Single-Horned Black Pig charged into the hotpot restaurant, slamming heavily into the checkout counter; the wooden tabletop instantly shattered, and drinks and the computer were all smashed to the ground, turning into a pile of trash.

After Lin Qi flashed to the side, he swung his great spear and lunged out with force from his legs.

"Beast, die!!"

Lin Qi exerted force, the great spear in his hand suddenly aiming at the Single-Horned Black Pig's neck, stabbing out several times in succession.

Cloud-Lifting!

"Whoosh~"

Just as the long spear was about to hit, an iron whip lashed out suddenly.

"Clang-clang~~"

Lin Qi looked and saw it was the Single-Horned Black Pig's tail; he saw it turn around and continue to charge fiercely toward Lin Qi again.
