268: Black gold battle blade, slaying meat shields

Bai Mengxue heard Jiang Chuan's words, but she didn't understand why. She just looked deeply at Jiang Chuan without speaking.

Jiang Chuan slowly took off the black box from his back, then opened it.

Jiang Chuan quickly took out a battle saber from the box.

This battle saber, held in his hand, possessed an undeniable sharpness. Its blade was long and straight, like the most dazzling Milky Way in the night sky, gleaming with a cold light, as if it could cut through all the world's troubles. The blade, meticulously polished countless times, was as thin as a cicada's wing yet incredibly tough. Each swing was accompanied by a slight sound of air being split in two, a perfect fusion of power and aesthetics.

The hilt was forged from ancient wood or sturdy metal, perhaps engraved with intricate totems or wrapped with fine cords, both for aesthetics and to provide the user with a better grip, ensuring the saber wouldn't leave their hand during intense combat. The end of the hilt usually featured a delicate guard, which not only balanced the saber's center of gravity but also served as a block in critical moments, adding a layer of defensive stability.

“What a terrifying battle saber.”

Bai Mengxue merely glanced at the battle saber in Jiang Chuan's hand, couldn't help but shiver, and thought to herself.

“Hulk, step aside. I’ll deal with him.”

Jiang Chuan looked at the Hulk in front of him and said loudly.

“What?”

“Jiang Chuan, you plan to fight the meat shield in front of you with a human body?”

Bai Mengxue was completely shocked when she heard Jiang Chuan's voice, then asked loudly.

“Why not?!”

Jiang Chuan laughed, holding the black gold battle saber.

The Hulk also retreated directly upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, quickly moving behind Jiang Chuan.

The Hulk didn't know why he had to retreat, but Jiang Chuan had given the order, and he only needed to obey.

After the annoying Hulk left, the meat shield's gaze also fell upon Jiang Chuan.

Roar!

The meat shield let out a cold growl. The next moment, he was seen charging directly at Jiang Chuan, then savagely slammed a furious punch towards Jiang Chuan.

“Be careful!”

Bai Mengxue shouted a warning when she saw this.

Jiang Chuan smiled as he watched the meat shield's punch. He also wanted to see what other abilities this meat shield, developed by the Heavenly Lord Society, possessed besides its terrifying healing power.

Bang!

Jiang Chuan didn't dodge or evade, choosing to meet the meat shield's punch head-on.

The moment the two fists, one large and one small, collided in the air, the floor beneath them shattered inch by inch, and an astonishing force stirred up a gust of wind.

“How is this possible?!”

Bai Mengxue's eyes widened when she saw Jiang Chuan actually block the meat shield's punch, looking at Jiang Chuan in disbelief.

Is Jiang Chuan really still human? Or is he a meat shield?

Gulp, gulp.

Bai Mengxue swallowed hard. It was only then that she truly realized she had never known Jiang Chuan's true strength.

“Is that all?”

Jiang Chuan, having received the system's reward, possessed true strength that surpassed everyone in the world. He felt that the meat shield's power could reach over a thousand catties, but it was still not enough.

“Get lost!”

Jiang Chuan roared, exerting all his strength. A terrifying force instantly struck the meat shield's body.

This force was even more terrifying than the meat shield in front of him. Even the meat shield's massive body couldn't withstand it; his entire body continuously retreated backward, taking more than a dozen steps before slowly stopping, finally falling to the ground.

“A human's strength can actually be stronger than this kind of meat shield; it's astonishing.”

Bai Mengxue was completely shocked when she saw this scene, then heard herself murmur.

After the meat shield was knocked down, he naturally sustained injuries and cried out in pain, but these injuries quickly healed, and the meat shield stood up again.

“This self-healing ability indeed surpasses that of any human.”

Jiang Chuan looked at the meat shield standing up again and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

“Kill!”

Jiang Chuan had lost patience with the meat shield in front of him and had no intention of wasting any more words with him. Jiang Chuan moved quickly, holding the black gold battle saber, and slashed fiercely at the meat shield.

The meat shield saw Jiang Chuan's terrifying slash coming down and had a bad premonition, but the slash was too fast. The meat shield had no time to dodge and could only block with his hands, after all, his self-healing ability was strong enough that even if his arms were truly severed, he could recover given enough time.

Clang.

When the black gold battle saber fell, the meat shield's arms were easily severed. The process was as effortless as slicing tofu, without any difficulty.

Ow.

When the meat shield's arms were cut off, he howled in pain. At this moment, his crimson pupils brightened slightly, and for the first time, a strong fear appeared in his gaze towards Jiang Chuan.

Because the meat shield could clearly feel that when the saber severed his arms, his healing ability had actually disappeared. He couldn't heal his arms anymore. His greatest weapon was his healing ability, and with that ability gone, he was just a relatively terrifying monster, nothing more.

Jiang Chuan also saw the look in the meat shield's eyes, from which he discerned fear.

“It seems you’ve discovered it.”

Jiang Chuan understood from the fear in the meat shield's eyes that the weapon given to him by Tianxia Group had succeeded.

“Die!”

Jiang Chuan naturally wouldn't let go of the meat shield in front of him. Since he had made his move this time, he needed to thoroughly prove whether the black gold battle saber could kill this kind of monster.

Clang.

The black gold battle saber was extremely sharp, easily severing the meat shield's head.

When the meat shield's head was cut off, he also widened his eyes, dying with lingering grievances.

“You killed him?”

Bai Mengxue looked at the meat shield, whose head had actually been cut off, and asked Jiang Chuan in disbelief.

The Hulk roared a few times at Bai Mengxue, then gestured some things. Although Bai Mengxue wasn't entirely clear, she roughly understood the Hulk's meaning: that the monster in front of them, though decapitated, was not yet dead.

Jiang Chuan naturally understood the Hulk's meaning and immediately shook his head with a smile.

“He is completely slain.”

Jiang Chuan slowly said these words to the Hulk.

The Hulk, knowing how terrifying healing abilities could be, still didn't believe Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan didn't say much. He also wanted to know if his black gold battle saber had succeeded, so he directly used some authority to completely seal off the surroundings.

One hour.

Half a day.

Even after a full day, the meat shield had not recovered. At this moment, the Hulk understood that Jiang Chuan was telling the truth, and for the first time, fear appeared in his eyes towards Jiang Chuan, because the man in front of him could truly kill them.

“You killed a meat shield. What do we do next?”

Bai Mengxue hadn't expected Jiang Chuan to actually kill the meat shield with a human body. She frowned and said to Jiang Chuan.

“I’ll handle it.”

Jiang Chuan merely smiled when he heard Bai Mengxue's words, then made a phone call, and they turned and left the place.

After Jiang Chuan and Bai Mengxue left, both simultaneously sent a message: that they were discovered by China during their mission, both were severely injured, the meat shield was killed, and the Hulk covered for them, sustaining fatal injuries.
