Chapter 125: Chapter 88: Crushing Decay with Irresistible Force_3

The arm exerted force, the sword blade slicing through the sticky, damp air, cutting open the pustules on the green skin.

Just like that, it threaded the opponent’s body, slicing apart another goblin running nearby.

"Seven."

Xia Nan counted silently in his heart.

In his ears, the sound of hurried and chaotic footsteps echoed.

An insidious and filthy mongrel had taken advantage of his distraction, quietly circling around to his side and back.

Hunched down, a rough wooden stick angled upwards towards his soft flank.

"Bang!"

The wooden stick struck heavily against the smooth surface of the arm shield, as if all its force were swallowed up like a black hole by the snake scales.

Not even the slightest white mark remained.

A fantasy creation from another world, with a toughness far exceeding ordinary metals, how could such a thing as this, not even a proper weapon, break through its defense?

Using his size advantage, Xia Nan, holding the shield in his left hand, slammed it down onto the goblin at his side, pinning it beneath the shield’s surface.

Then he slashed with force.

Squelch—

The sharp edge of the shield sliced through flesh, a sluggish sensation spreading up his arm.

Half of the goblin’s neck lay bare, blood spraying from its throat.

"Eighth."

After all the days of recuperation in River Valley Town, Xia Nan’s arduous day-and-night training had not been in vain.

With extraordinary talent, along with the arm shield more reliant on on-the-spot reflexes compared to other shield-type equipment.

He gradually mastered this type of equipment’s usage techniques.

And in the battles against goblins, completed his first combat validation.

"Whoosh!"

Fifteen of them in total, even if more than half were gone, they were still tricky.

Footsteps fell like rain, mixed with the noise of wooden sticks scraping against the ground.

Just as he ended another life, the remaining green-skinned minions took the opportunity to close in.

The physical attributes enhanced by attribute points made Xia Nan react extremely fast.

He turned his body, deftly dodging two stick strikes.

Then, taking advantage of the momentum, he used his torso as an axis, spinning like a top, the Beheading Longsword scattering a crescent-like gray glow around him.

Severed tongues, mixed with pale splintered bone, were splattered by blood as they flew up.

Two more goblins turned into corpses.

"Ten."

Not many left, Xia Nan thought to seize the moment and annihilate them all.

The moss on the ground was like toad skin, slime clinging with each movement.

His feet slipped, body swaying, falling backward.

The battle sheen flashed through his mind.

"Boom!"

The dark arm shield collided violently with the rock wall, scattering countless stone fragments, while his left arm, using the counterforce, suddenly braced itself!

An unsteady center of gravity collapsed in an instant.

The body, initially slipping backward, catapulted toward the rear side.

Bang—

The three wooden sticks that should have hit him simultaneously due to the slip.

Due to Xia Nan’s maneuvering, only one of them scraped against the plate armor on his chest, ringing sharply.

A foul breath blew past the back of his neck; his back touched the cave floor’s cold, damp surface,

No time to fully stand up, a nearby goblin was already rushing in on its short legs.

Xia Nan only managed to sit up, throwing the Beheading Longsword in his hand like a javelin towards the enemy.

"Swoosh!"

The sword’s iron-gray blade pierced through the goblin’s hunched, frail body in an instant, flying away carried by inertia.

Supporting himself with his palm, the light wooden sword simultaneously unsheathed.

Step forward, gather strength!

[Vortex Slash]!

Already trained to full level, even with the non-dominant hand, the force, though slightly weaker, still contained the destructive power to easily tear apart the enemy’s body.

The piercing, concise whistle of the sword suddenly erupted, the dark sharp light tearing through the sticky dampness, two rushing green-skinned rats were cut into four pieces at the waist.

"Thirteen."

By this time, only a mere ten seconds had passed since the battle began.

On the field, only two low-intelligence lesser demons remained, their sharp laughter hadn’t even stopped before all their companions were dead.

For a moment, even fear was forgotten, they just stood there dumbly, holding their sticks.

Relentlessly, he advanced with large strides.

Without triggering the entry effect, the sharpness nevertheless matched that of ordinary metal weapons, the Wooden Sword [Green Pine].

A thrust, a chop.

He sent the last two goblins to Abyss Hell.

"Drip.".

Mixed with body warmth, thick blood dripped from the edge of the arm shield, dyeing the moss underfoot red;

The chain armor clattered, the surface of the chest plate armor showing slight scratches;

In a spot on the ground, severed body parts twitched convulsively, fingers still clutching weapons, raising ripples in the pool of blood.

Mixed with the stench of rotten flesh, the bloody atmosphere nearly solidified in the air.

The cave that was once filled with goblin shrieks was now left in dead silence.
