Chapter 271 Is Han Cheng Dead?

Han Cheng lowered the tip of his blade slightly.

Correct, he was signaling a "Reconciliation."

He smiled faintly.

"But since you're still alive, let's look forward. You have so many tide needles on you; if you want to keep them, well... you should understand the principle that 'Possessing a jade ring becomes a crime in itself'..."

"Let's go back to the ship. We'll break through the next level together."

Chen Yu chuckled. "Then do I... still have to thank Captain Han for saving my life?"

Han Cheng waved his hand. "That's not necessary. After all, you're also a contributor. Once we're back... I'll personally recommend you. A First-class Merit won't be a problem!"

He suddenly spoke in a low voice: "And, I can explain things to Mianmian on your behalf."

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. "Explain what?"

The smile on Han Cheng's face did not fade: "Explain that you... have always... been hiding very deep!"

Before he finished speaking, the purple energy around him suddenly expanded!

The resentment was no longer just wrapping around the blade; it erupted from his entire body simultaneously!

A distorted purple afterimage trailed behind him!

Boom!

The reef beneath his feet was shattered by this explosive force.

He had already appeared in front of Chen Yu!!!

No reservations!

He struck at full power from the start!

The blade slashed down from above, the edge tearing through the air with a sharp whistle!!!

Clang—

The warhammer and the ghost head blade collided violently, sparks exploding!!!

"Aren't you tired of acting for so long!"

Han Cheng said coldly, pulling back his blade and slashing again, a horizontal sweep from the right!

Chen Yu stepped aside to dodge the blade.

The ghost head blade grazed past his Windbreaker.

He swung the hammer backhanded, smashing toward Han Cheng's wrist holding the blade!

Clang!!!

Han Cheng withdrew his blade to defend. The hammer and blade collided again, the impact pushing both men back at the same time!

But Chen Yu only retreated three steps.

Han Cheng retreated seven or eight steps before he could barely stop.

"Such great strength?"

Han Cheng frowned.

The force just now had made his hand numb; he nearly lost his grip on the blade!

Lu Heng? When did he have this level of strength?

Was Zhou Zhenguo's information wrong?

Han Cheng didn't have time to think further.

The two faced off for about a breath's time, then charged forward simultaneously!

The warhammer whirled with the sound of wind, smashing toward Han Cheng's shoulder and neck!

The ghost head blade trailed purple light, stabbing toward Chen Yu's chest!

Clang!!!

Clang!!!

Clang!!!

Three collisions in extremely close proximity!

Three circular shockwaves exploded from the point of impact!

Even Chen Yu had to admit that Han Cheng's ability was extremely abnormal!

At this moment, Han Cheng was entirely shrouded in resentment, even his eyes covered in purple!

Han Cheng raised the ghost head blade high above his head. The purple resentment flowed upward along the blade, condensing in the air into a purple-black phantom blade far longer than the blade itself!

"You brought this on yourself!"

Tch...

Chen Yu didn't take a single step back, meeting the giant phantom blade with his demon-slaying gloves!

The moment the phantom blade of resentment touched the gloves, it began to disintegrate from the tip, shattering into countless tiny purple light particles, which were then entirely swallowed by the gloves!

???

Han Cheng's pupils shrank: "What is that?!"

He instinctively held his blade horizontally to block!

But the incoming hammer strike,

without any counter-force,

instantly sent him flying over a dozen meters, his back slamming into a reef a dozen meters away!!!

He slid down slowly, propping himself up with the hilt of his blade, coughing violently and spitting out three mouthfuls of blood!

"You... are not Lu Heng..."

"Who exactly are you!"

"Lu Heng couldn't possibly be this strong..."

"He couldn't possibly take my full-power strike!"

Han Cheng coughed: "Cough, cough, cough, cough... Who are you! Who sent you!"

But before him,

no one replied.

The figure carrying the warhammer was walking toward him step by step.

"Dammit!"

Han Cheng turned to run!

As soon as his boot crushed a stone, the footsteps behind him caught up!

Han Cheng turned his head sharply, and the silhouette of the warhammer had already filled his entire field of vision!

?

Too fast!!!

Han Cheng's expression changed drastically. If this hammer strike landed, he would undoubtedly die!

The ghost head blade instinctively rose to block in front of him.

The purple resentment erupted once again in this life-and-death moment!

But the warhammer arrived as expected,

smashing into the blade,

sending both the ghost head blade and the man flying!

Han Cheng's body tumbled through the air, crashing through a row of low shrubs!

After landing, he rolled several meters before barely propping himself up with his blade...

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

Before he could even stand up, that figure arrived again!

Giving him absolutely no interval to rest!

Damn it!!!

Within his vision, Lu Heng leaped high, raising the warhammer above his head with both hands!

Cold white fluorescence surged from his body, outlining his silhouette into a black shadow within a halo of light!

Die!

Die!

Die!

Terrifying suppressive force!!!

It left Han Cheng almost unable to keep up!

The warhammer smashed down!!!

But this time, the hammerhead did not hit Han Cheng's body!

Bang!!!!

A golden light shield suddenly lit up in front of Han Cheng, very similar to the one Marcus had activated before!

But clearly, Han Cheng's was thicker, with a deeper color, and layers of runic patterns flowed across the surface of the light wall, each one rotating slowly!

The warhammer hit the light shield, which only trembled slightly. The hammerhead was bounced back, and the counter-force traveled through the handle to Chen Yu's wrist, making it feel numb to the extreme!

Pfft!

And Han Cheng was shaken... spitting out another violent mouthful of blood!

Blood mist splattered on the inner golden wall of the light shield!

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes and instantly sensed that there was some kind of connection between the light shield and Han Cheng's body...?

He swung the warhammer again, smashing it down without hesitation!

Boom!!!

Part of the shield's vibration was transmitted again, damaging Han Cheng internally!

His chest instantly caved in!

Pfft!

His entire body, along with the light shield, was sent flying by the vibration, rolling several meters through the rock pile!

Finally, he lay on the ground facing upward!

Completely devoid of life!

The golden light shield flickered erratically around him a few times, then slowly dissipated!

The ghost head blade slipped from his hand and landed not far away...

Whew.

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

In this clash with Han Cheng,

he really didn't dare to be careless.

He had been holding the golden body card the whole time, but fortunately, it wasn't wasted.

He walked toward Han Cheng,

preparing to activate the Grand Tutor Container.

This guy's Talent could probably provide two free attribute points!

But just then,

his peripheral vision caught a purple light that shouldn't have appeared!

Hmm?

The ghost head blade was slowly rising from the ground...

The purple resentment on the blade soared into the sky, and a purple-black light so thick it was almost liquid erupted!

It forcibly pushed back the surrounding cold white fluorescence!

?

Chen Yu's expression hardened.

Following that, Han Cheng's lifeless body slowly stood up in a sudden gust of wind!

Yes, not standing up...

But suddenly rising upright!

His Wolf-tail hair had turned completely purple!

The corners of his clothes flapped loudly, his feet slightly off the ground, his whole person suspended in mid-air!

When he opened his eyes again, those eyes no longer had human pupils; from the whites to the irises, they were entirely covered in deep purple, like two clusters of purple fire!

He floated in mid-air, looking down at Chen Yu, his blood-stained face showing only disdain...
