Chapter 375: 359 See You Again
Jie Luo’s move almost visibly proclaimed to everyone present that he had indeed stepped into the realm of heroes.
The punch hurled at Reiger was not only unusually fast, but its power was terrifying, causing a series of sonic booms to resonate through the exquisite courtyard, thoroughly stirring the atmosphere.
Targeted by such a powerful punch, even before being hit, the wind from the punch alone, mixed with the sonic booms, was enough to cause stinging pain on the skin, and clothes to flutter loudly as if caught in a strong wind.
This was the strength of a fighter who had reached the Heroic Domain; even individuals like Gejiev and Brian would have to admit defeat in the face of such power, without the support of sufficiently powerful arms.
However, the result of such an astonishing punch shocked everyone from the "Six Arms."
"Bang!"
When this muffled explosion-like sound occurred, a figure was sent flying backward at an alarming speed, crashing into a rockery in the courtyard and shattering it.
"Puh!"
Jie Luo spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fell into the rubble of the rockery, with a face not of triumph or shock, but one showing confusion and ignorance, as if he didn’t understand what had just happened.
Yes.
The figure sent flying was not Reiger, but Jie Luo.
Jie Luo, who had initiated the attack, was the one sent flying.
Sent flying by a casual punch from Reiger, who was slowly walking towards the mansion and didn’t even glance at him.
"Boss!"
The sneers on the faces of "Six Arms" members froze, replaced by shock and anger.
"What...!?"
Lakyus, Tia, and Tina’s pupils shrank, taken aback.
This was the first time the three of them saw Reiger fighting with his fists, and seeing him casually punch and send Jie Luo, who had entered the Heroic Domain, flying, they inevitably were astounded.
Only Brian, Gegran, and Iveyer showed no surprise; they even took advantage of the moment "Six Arms" were stunned to take action.
"You’re ’Thousand Kills’ Mamvist, right? Eat my hammer!"
Gegran charged at Mamvist, who had just launched an assassination attempt on him, wielding his war hammer, creating a whirlwind of strikes, aiming for the Poisoned Swordsmen who specialized in thrusting attacks.
"You...!?"
It took a moment for Mamvist to react, his face a mix of shock and anger as he backed away, narrowly avoiding the incoming hammer.
"This is for what you did just now."
Brian lunged towards Peshlian, a reckless smile on his face while executing a "Domain" martial technique, closing the distance and pulling Peshlian into his sensory range.
"Tch...!"
Although Peshlian was a Swordsman, he specialized in long-range attacks and did not dare to get close to a hand-to-hand combat expert like Brian, quickly tapping into his vampire agility to swiftly dodge across the ground.
"So, I’ll choose you two as my opponents."
Iveyer, alone, faced off against Divanock and Edestrian, her body wrapped in a "Flight" Magic glow. As she soared towards them, she immediately released the "Crystal Scatter Bullet" magic, pelting Divanock and Edestrian with numerous crystalline bullets.
"...Foolish."
"Do you really think you can take on the two of us alone?"
Divanock and Edestrian had no choice but to focus fully on the threat; one raised a fingertip, releasing a Fireball, while the other manipulated six curved blades, sending them through different trajectories towards the sky to meet the crystal barrage head-on.
In this moment, the others regained their composure as well.
"Tina!"
"I know!"
The twin sisters, as if telepathic, simultaneously slipped into the shadows, wielding blades as if dyed with crimson blood, and attacked the last one, Saharan Longte.
"Damn it!"
Seeing himself targeted by two steel-ranked adventurers, Saharan Longte couldn’t hide his irritation and quickly activated an Illusion Technique, becoming a hazy mirage as he disappeared.
The remaining five members of "Six Arms" each faced off against members of "Blue Rose" and Brian in fierce combat.
Only Jie Luo remained, still lying amidst the rockery fragments, feeling the throbbing pain that an undead should not feel, his mind filled with bewilderment.
"How, how could this be?"
He still couldn’t believe that he had been sent flying by a casual punch from a kid who seemed so young.
He was a fighter, a monk who had trained his body to the limit, with outstanding close combat skills, and even the likes of Gejiev and Brian would struggle to suppress him in close combat. A moment of carelessness might even lead to them being killed by him.
That was even before he became a vampire thrall.
Now, after becoming a vampire, Jie Luo’s physical abilities had risen to an even higher level, perhaps on par with the toughest steel.
That he could be sent flying, spitting blood, by a casual punch from someone—how could that possibly happen?
Yet, it was the truth.
"...Unfortunately, you chose the wrong opponent."
Such a voice entered Jie Luo’s ears, finally bringing him out of his daze as he struggled to get up, pushing away the rubble that lay atop him.
In front of Jie Luo, who was doing so, Lakyus approached slowly, surrounded by her activated floating swords.
"That man’s strength is beyond what you or I can imagine, even being called the strongest among humans doesn’t do him justice, and it seems that even you, rashly facing him, only have one outcome."
