38: Chapter 38 A brutal killing of a Hilichurl, a clever and forceful seizure

The moment Li Taiping appeared, the Goblin, which had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly turned around as if it had eyes in the back of its head.

What a face that was!

Its features were squashed together, its nose looked like a head of garlic, and its mouth was so wide it stretched to its ears, revealing a mouthful of yellowish fangs.

In its eyes, which were larger than copper bells, primitive and ferocious light flickered, locking firmly onto Li Taiping, this uninvited guest.

"Roar—!!!"

The Goblin let out a deafening roar. The sound waves acted like a tangible shockwave, causing the entire karst cave to hum and debris to fall from the ceiling.

It leapt up from the ground suddenly, its massive body over three meters tall filled with astonishing pressure.

Wielding the giant mace in its hand, without a word, it took heavy strides, charging straight at Li Taiping like an out-of-control heavy truck.

It was extremely fast!

The ground vibrated slightly under its stomping.

If it were an ordinary person, they probably would have been scared weak-kneed just facing this aura.

But there was not a trace of fear on Li Taiping's face.

His gaze was terrifyingly calm.

At the very moment the Goblin roared and turned around, he had already pulled the trigger without hesitation!

[Bullseye] Talent, activate!

"Bang!"

A crisp gunshot, which seemed inconspicuous amidst the roaring.

But a spinning bullet, carrying a whistle that tore through the air, traced a straight trajectory and shot with pinpoint accuracy toward the Goblin's left eye!

The Goblin seemingly hadn't expected that this seemingly weak human would actually dare to attack it first.

It didn't even have the thought to dodge, letting the bullet shoot toward it.

In its view, such a small trinket could not possibly harm its rock-hard skin.

"Puff!"

A soft sound of a sharp weapon entering flesh.

The bullet drilled solidly into the Goblin's left eye socket!

Intense pain struck!

"Awoo—!!!"

The Goblin let out a scream even more miserable than before. Subconsciously, it covered its bleeding left eye with its hand, its massive body staggering from the intense pain.

Its remaining good right eye was instantly filled with fury and disbelief.

How is this possible?!

This little bug actually managed to hurt it?!

However, before it could react from the intense pain and shock.

"Bang!"

Another gunshot rang out.

Li Taiping did not give it any chance to breathe; the second bullet followed immediately!

The target was still the eye!

This time, it was the right eye!

Having already suffered once, the Goblin finally reacted this time.

It jerked its head, attempting to dodge this fatal blow.

But was the [Bullseye] Talent so easily dodged?

The bullet seemed to have eyes of its own, tracing a slight arc in the air, bypassing its flailing arm, and finally, with a "puff," it accurately shot into its right eye!

"Awoo-ooo—!!!"

Both eyes were destroyed!

Unimaginable, intense pain caused this massive monster to fall into complete madness.

It threw away the mace in its hand, clutched its bleeding eye sockets with both hands, and roared and rolled on the ground frantically, like an enraged beast.

Its massive body smashed large pits into the ground, and the surrounding stalactites were smashed to pieces by it.

Success!

Li Taiping felt a surge of joy.

The first step of the plan was perfectly achieved!

By blinding this big guy's eyes, it went from a mobile fortress to a living target that could only go mad in place!

But Li Taiping did not have the slightest carelessness.

He knew that now was the most dangerous time.

A monster at the peak of the good grade that has fallen into madness has terrifying destructive power.

He tapped his toes, his figure drifting backward like a ghost, putting an absolutely safe distance between himself and the crazed Goblin, and then drew the cold iron sword, quietly waiting for an opportunity.

He was waiting.

Waiting for the Goblin to exhaust its physical strength due to the intense pain and madness.

Waiting for it to reveal a fatal flaw.

Time passed minute by minute.

The Goblin's roaring gradually became hoarse.

Its frantic movements also slowly became sluggish.

Blood and intense pain were constantly consuming its vitality.

This is it!

Li Taiping's gaze suddenly sharpened.

He saw that the Goblin's movements had a brief pause.

This is the flaw!

"Swish!"

Li Taiping's figure instantly disappeared from where he stood.

The next second, he had already appeared behind the Goblin's side, the cold iron sword in his hand infused with all his strength, bringing a cold glint as he slashed fiercely at the Goblin's thick hamstring!

To capture the bandits, first capture the king; to kill a snake, strike at its seven-inch mark.

Dealing with such a thick-skinned big guy, the best method is to first cripple its mobility!

"Rip—!"

A teeth-grinding cutting sound rang out.

The "sharp" characteristic of the cold iron sword was fully displayed at this moment.

The blade cut like it was slicing through cowhide; although it encountered great resistance, it still successfully sliced open the Goblin's tough skin, deeply severing its calf tendon!

"Roar!"

The Goblin let out another painful roar, its three-meter-tall body unstable, and it fell to one knee on the ground.

Having succeeded with one strike, Li Taiping did not linger, immediately withdrawing and retreating, putting distance between himself and the Goblin again.

He did not rush to launch a second attack, but continued to observe calmly.

The Goblin, having had one leg crippled, became even more violent.

Although it couldn't see, it relied on its hearing and smell, flailing its arms wildly, attempting to grab that hateful attacker.

Every time its massive fist smashed onto the ground, it emitted a dull boom, smashing a deep pit into the ground.

Li Taiping was like the most excellent matador, constantly circling the Goblin, using his flexible movement to dodge its violent attacks again and again, while also constantly looking for new opportunities.

Finally, after dodging another one of the Goblin's powerful, heavy punches, Li Taiping seized the opportunity again.

He repeated his old trick, shifted his figure, circled to the other side of the Goblin, and the cold iron sword in his hand slashed again at its other intact leg!

"Pshh!"

This time, it was even smoother.

The Goblin, already having lost its balance, could not make any effective defense at all.

Its other hamstring was also cleanly and neatly severed by Li Taiping!

"Boom!"

Losing the support of its legs, the Goblin's massive body could finally no longer stand, falling heavily to the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

It had completely turned into an immobile living target!

"It's over."

Li Taiping looked at the Goblin, which was struggling and roaring on the ground but could no longer stand up, his eyes cold.

He walked step by step in front of the Goblin.

The Goblin seemed to feel the approach of death, and it struggled even more violently, opening its blood-stained maw and attempting to bite at Li Taiping.

But everything was just in vain.

Li Taiping raised the cold iron sword in his hand, aiming at the Goblin's mouth, which was wide open from roaring.

He did not choose to attack the Goblin's hard skull, but rather chose to deliver a fatal blow from inside its most vulnerable oral cavity!

"Die!"

Li Taiping gave a low shout, used all his strength, and thrust the long sword in his hand down fiercely!

The blade pierced in from the Goblin's oral cavity, passed through its throat, and accurately pierced through its brain!

"Haa..."

The Goblin's massive body suddenly stiffened, all sounds were stuck in its throat, and the light in its eyes quickly dissipated.

It convulsed violently a few times, then stopped moving completely.

"Hoo..."

Li Taiping let out a long breath, only then feeling his tense nerves relax.

Flawless victory!
