The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins
Chapter 178 - 178: Slightly Excited
Their gazes wandered over the ground littered with limbs and bodies, and several captains frowned deeply.
The Constellation Team wasn''t adept at close combat, but they wouldn''t be slaughtered like this by a single person, would they?
Moreover, there wasn''t even a scratch on the enemy!
Even a group of rabbits would bite their enemy once before dying, right?
The next second, a warning from above answered the questions in their minds.
"Be careful, this guy is a Martial God-level descender! A monster fused with Super Sensitive and Divine Power!"
"??!!!"
Martial God?
Super Sensitive?
Divine Power?
Fusion?
These terms flickered through their minds, and everyone watched the beautiful young boy, poised to strike, their pupils trembling wildly.
Basking in their frightened, aghast gazes, Zhu Haomiao blinked and smiled bashfully.
"Can we start now?"
"Uh..."
Still immersed in shocked disbelief, everyone instinctively wanted to speak, but the boy across from them couldn''t wait to wield his sword.
"I''m gonna begin now."
"Wait..."
Swish~
Before the words were out, the boy''s dark figure suddenly vanished from sight, reappearing dozens of meters away beside a surviving Constellation Warrior.
"Guard!"
An egg-shaped, semi-transparent Holy Light barrier manifested in front of him. Zhu Haomiao''s eyes flickered, and he swung his longsword down with greater force, unleashing a tidal surge of sound.
Bam!
The Guard Barrier, capable of withstanding a full-powered attack from a Golden Transcendent, shattered at once, and the remaining force from the blade struck the blocking spear, causing the Constellation Warrior to kneel on the ground, spitting blood.
Having failed to kill the enemy with one strike, Zhu Haomiao slightly turned his head, dodging the bullets being fired, and lifted his sword to strike again.
In a flash, a terrible roar erupted by his ear.
"Du Deke Xi!"
Despite the obscure language, Zhu Haomiao''s eyes suddenly brimmed with terrifying crimson bloodlight as the original sin of Anger deep within was triggered, momentarily losing control. S~ea??h the Novёl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Unhesitatingly abandoning the enemy he could have easily killed, Zhu Haomiao turned to face the huge shield charging at him, with high-temperature red light resembling spider webs emanating from his sinister eyes.
Swish~
The ethereal Spiritual Power materialized into the longsword, a brilliant red sword light akin to lava burst forth and cleaved down amidst everyone''s frightful stares.
Anger!
Storage Explosion!
Boom!
A blood-red shockwave exploded instantly, with deafening roars roaring into the sky, flattening the entire mountain peak with one sword swing.
Terrifying high-pressure waves swept across the world, causing everyone within a dozen meters to vomit blood and fly backward. The closest Constellation Warrior was left with shattered bones, and a massive amount of blood mixed with organ fragments spewed from his mouth, like a water bag burst by a stomping foot.
Rumble~
Amidst the earth-shaking explosion, Zhu Haomiao took a slow and long deep breath, the high-temperature red light twisting and writhing in his pupils gradually subsiding, replaced by clear spirit light.
Sigh~
Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Zhu Haomiao fully regained his composure, gazing in astonishment at the grotesque figure of flesh and steel twisted together not far away.
The giant alloy shield had been completely twisted into a braid shape, embedded into various parts of the body along with the heavy armor.
Looking at the miserable state of the figure, Zhu Haomiao pursed his lips with a speechless expression.
He must have used something like a Taunt ability just now, yet ordinary Transcendents would only bash their heads open in anger against his giant shield...
But within me, the original sin of Anger is suppressed, and once provoked...
Tsk tsk~
Don''t blame me, I initially intended to leave you a whole corpse.
Glancing around, witnessing the exaggerated destructive impact, Zhu Haomiao vaguely realized that Anger at LV.7 had crossed a certain threshold, experiencing a qualitative change since his last release!
Should I test it out?
Slightly narrowing his eyes, Zhu Haomiao pondered for a few seconds and decided against the daring idea.
Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
Just a bunch of ordinary descenders. Under normal conditions, his combat power was sufficient, albeit a bit slow in slaughtering.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Zhu Haomiao looked around, observing the ash-faced, stunned individuals, and smiled apologetically, nodding.
"Sorry, got a little excited."
"......"
Gazing at the scene, obliterated as if hit by a small nuclear bomb, with the entire mountain top and fortifications gone, everyone fell silent.
This is what you call just a little excited?!!
Yet they weren''t given any time to collect themselves. With an Essence attribute of 51, complemented by the Perfect Realm Big Toad Qi, Zhu Haomiao recovered from the post-burst weakness in just a few breaths, as limitless energy surged through his meridians once again.
"Let''s continue."
Swish~
The dark figure disappeared abruptly, pouncing towards a brown-haired boy in a robe.
"Roar!"
Yet, just as Zhu Haomiao thought he could effortlessly slay the boy, the brown-haired boy let out a beast-like roar, his body swelling and transforming instantly. Black fur with an oily sheen erupted all over, turning into a three-meter-tall bear standing on its hind legs.
Sigh~
A massive bear paw swung down through the air, with curved claws as sharp as daggers, aiming straight for Zhu Haomiao''s face.
On the other side, looking at the incoming massive bear paw, an inexplicable silly thought flashed through Zhu Haomiao''s mind.
This thing would taste great braised...
Following his subconscious thought, a fierce arc of sword light was drawn, effortlessly severing the two plump bear paws.
"Aoo aoo aoo aoo aoo!"
The bear''s two front paws were severed at the wrists, spurting blood from its bare forelimbs, causing it to wail in agony.
Yet Zhu Haomiao leaped forward into its embrace, with cold sword light ascending to the sky, the sword tip pierced through the bear''s jaw, piercing its skull, and emerging through the top of its head, silencing it instantly.
Screech~
Withdrawing his sword, Zhu Haomiao stepped back three feet, the massive black bear collapsed at his feet, with blood gushing from beneath its head.
Greed +200, Lust +100, Jealousy +100
While absorbing the original sin mist, he pondered seriously whether the bear''s paws could be eaten, but before Zhu Haomiao could put the bold idea into practice, the dead black bear writhed and transformed back into the form of the brown-haired youth.
Glancing at the human hand that had also returned to its original state on the ground, Zhu Haomiao regretfully pursed his lips.
No bear paws to eat...
But as the boy sighed in regret, numerous thick, gnarled tree roots burst from the ground, entangling his ankles like tentacles, spiraling up his calves.
"I''ve controlled him, focus fire quickly!"
Gurgle gurgle gurgle~
Zhu Haomiao struggled to lift his foot but found that these roots were extremely tough, stretching several times yet still tightly bound to his feet.
Slice~
The sword light flashed, severing the roots binding his legs, and Zhu Haomiao escaped at the last moment.
