Without saying a word, Luming and the others unleashed their totemic power. Within a short period of time, they were almost at their peak. Surging power seeped out of their pores, and the air around them surged. Even people standing a little further away could feel the power radiating from them.
Among the ten of them, seven of them were advanced totemic warriors! As for the remaining three, although they were slightly weaker, they cooperated well and were not a burden. Instead, they were able to contribute their own strength, waiting for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow.
Black Bear, Maoda and Guang Yi had two advanced totemic warriors and one intermediate totemic warrior in front of them. They worked well together too. They would not believe that their opponents were not prepared.
Guang Yi wanted to block for Shao Xuan but he was surrounded by three people. He was furious. Without thinking, he drew his bronze sword and met their swords head-on.
The collision of the tyrannical power and the sound of the blades colliding was like a thunderclap.
Guang Yi sensed that something was wrong. There was a chip on the edge of his sword!
Back then, when Gongjia Heng visited the Flaming Horn tribe, he had given them ten weapons. However, Guang Yi did not accept them because he did not like them. Plus, he wanted to leave them for the younger members of the tribe so he could use his own. When he came here with Shao Xuan, Duo Kang also wanted to give his sword to Guang Yi but Guang Yi rejected him. Duo Kang still had to lead the team back and it would be dangerous. He was with Shao Xuan and the Black Bears so there would not be too much trouble.
That was why Guang Yi was only carrying a sword he picked up in the morning. It was a normal sword. He heard that many people in the Royal City carried swords so Guang Yi picked a random one. He was not used to using anything anyway. His old machete had broken and he could not make a new one. Later on, he used a sword but he was not used to it.
Shao Xuan had said that when he came to the Royal City, he would see if he could get a new machete from Gongjia Heng for Guang Yi. He did not expect this to happen before he even met Gongjia Heng.
The opponent's weapon was obviously of higher quality. Guang Yi's normal sword might not last long. Guang Yi would not be able to get rid of them.
Guang Yi sensed that something was wrong and so were his opponents. Guang Yi's opponent felt as if he had bumped into a bull. The recoil numbed his entire arm, and even his bones were trembling.
Indeed, it was the right decision not to pick this person. If Lubi fought this person, he might not be able to finish him off quickly. Although he was not easy to deal with, the Linlu tribesmen were secretly pleased with their strategy.
Black Bear and Maoda would not be able to win in a short amount of time. They would not be able to take care of Shao Xuan.
Luming smirked. This was all within his expectations. Black Bear's men were indeed very strong. If they had enough time or good weapons, the ten of them might not be able to defeat them. But according to the plan, Luming believed that Lubi would be able to defeat them in one hit. With four minus one, Black Bear's side would be left with three. As for the Lu Family, it would be ten against three. If they couldn't defeat Black Bear, they would let Lubi do it. With their cooperation, they wouldn't lose no matter what!
On the other side, Lubi's body flashed. His tall and muscular body was not as clumsy as it looked. Instead, he was unusually agile. The muscles in his legs expanded, propelling his body forward. He charged towards Shao Xuan like a cannonball. His target was clear. He did not even look at the others.
In the blink of an eye, Lubi was in front of Shao Xuan. The hammer he swung seemed to have sealed off Shao Xuan's escape routes. Shao Xuan was completely enveloped in the shadow of the hammer. There was nowhere to run!
Lubi was hailed as the only prodigy of the Linlu tribe in hundreds of years. He was not someone who only had strength and no skills.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing reverberated in the surroundings. The power that was released permeated the air and spread out, causing the surrounding people to tremble. It was as if Lubi's heavy hammer had not hit the people standing there, but their hearts.
Shao Xuan gripped the hilt of his sword with one hand and supported himself with the other. He used the blade to block the hammer. His feet stepped on the ground. The ground around him seemed to shake from the force of the impact. Spiderweb-Like cracks appeared on the ground. The earth and rocks on the ground were shattered by this tremor, and like a backflow of rain, they flew up high from the ground.
The web between Shao Xuan's thumb and index finger split open, blood dripping onto the ground. However, this block had stopped the hammer!
He … he blocked it?!
Lubi's eyes flashed with shock. He did not hesitate. He retracted his hammer and charged again, directly at Shao Xuan. Like a bolt from a crossbow, the air in front of him was shattered.
Under Yang Guang's attack, the golden blade reflected a dazzling light, leaving a trail of light in the air.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing was so loud it seemed like it was going to explode everyone's eardrums. The turbulence in the air was visible to the naked eye. Their vision seemed to be distorted.
The sword in Shao Xuan's hand blocked the incoming hammer head on!
In order to block the hammer, Shao Xuan took a few steps back. The violent force transmitted to the ground beneath his feet. The already cracked ground could no longer withstand the force. Everywhere Shao Xuan's feet passed, there was a continuous rumble. Pieces of the ground collapsed. The depressions connected to each other, forming a long pit. The earth, rocks, and debris were sent flying high into the air, scattering in all directions.
The area between the thumb and forefinger of his hands that were already injured was torn apart by this attack. The original wound widened, and new wounds appeared around it. With so many wounds extending all the way to his wrist, the bright red blood was especially conspicuous on the golden blade. Large droplets of blood dripped down to the ground.
He … he blocked it again?!!
The surrounding people's mouths were wide open. They looked like they were about to swallow an eagle's egg.
This time, Lubi was no longer shocked. He was terrified!
Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that the weakest of the four, who had been carefully selected, would actually be so powerful! Compared to himself, the young man looked much weaker. How could he block his attacks twice?!
Lubi looked at the young man who was only a short distance away from him. He saw the totemic patterns on his body that looked like burning flames.
He was definitely not from the Black Bears!
Who was he?!
Lubi saw the other party smiling at him. That smile seemed to contain endless murderous intent. Seeing this smile, Lubi felt the hairs on his back stand up. A chill ran down his spine and rushed to his head.
Before Lubi could react, a strong force came from the hammer handle. He couldn't help but increase the force of his stomp on the ground.
The force from the hammer handle was still increasing. He had no time to prepare.
Steady!
He had to steady!
He couldn't stand!
The rocks and soil on the ground creaked and rolled backward.
He was retreating.
He couldn't stand properly. He was being forced back!
Lubi's eyebrows twitched, his eyes filled with disbelief. His grip on the hammer handle was getting more and more sore.
However, this power was still rising rapidly.
Shao Xuan's totemic power was surging wildly. Ever since the trip to Gongjia Mountain, he had realised that his totemic power was surging.
Increase, increase!
Power! Even more power!
The power in his muscles, meridians, bones, and even flowing blood was stimulated to a greater extent in order to explode with their fiercest attacks.
Shao Xuan's eyes grew brighter and brighter. Lubi didn't dare look him in the eye.
Lubi's muscles were trembling. He wanted to block but he couldn't. Instead, he retreated even faster. His feet, which were rooted to the ground, could only grind against the ground.
The ground cracked, and the broken pieces of soil and stones were sent flying by Lubi's heels. A trench was plowed into the ground, and the trench was still expanding at an accelerated rate. Lubi could only feel a burning pain on his feet. It was the result of grinding on the ground.
Lubi had the illusion that he wasn't facing a person, but an awakening beast. This beast was roaring as if it was trying to break the seal, and he was facing the beast's roar head-on.
The people around him were like statues. Other than the people who were blocking Lubi's path of retreat, the rest of the spectators stood in the same position, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
When the energy in his body reached its peak, Shao Xuan's arms shook violently. He used his sword to lift the hammer, then reached out with his free hand to grab it.
Suddenly, Lubi felt a burning pain in his hands that were holding the hammer. His shoulder joints made cracking sounds and his hands were empty.
He didn't even have time to react before the hammer was snatched away by the other party!
Lubi wanted to snatch it back, but there was a flash of golden light. It was so sharp that his neck was about to be severed. He had no choice but to retreat.
Shao Xuan sheathed his sword and weighed the hammer in his hand. Since it was made for Lubi, the handle was thicker so Lubi could hold it. However, Shao Xuan couldn't wrap his hand around it but he could still hold it in his hand.
Shao Xuan looked at Lubi, who was gasping for air, his face full of shock. Then, without hesitation, he charged forward with his hammer.
The battle here also attracted quite a number of people over.
How could they not be here for something so interesting?
"Who's fighting who?" Someone who didn't know what was going on asked.
"One side is from the Lu family, the other side … Who's the other side? That kid's totem doesn't look like he's from the Black Bears. "
"You mean the Lu family? The Lu family from the Linlu tribe that just came to the Royal City? "Someone who was interested in the Lu family asked.
"The Lu family from the Linlu tribe? Rumour has it that Lubi wields a huge hammer. Could the one with the hammer be the legendary Lubi from the Lu family? "
The person who explained choked. "… No, Lubi, he's the one being chased by the hammer."
