206: Chapter 206 Hammer Rhythm Seventh Level! One life for another? Or... why don't you try strangling yourself?

Suddenly!

The heavy hammer, forged from refined Blue Polar Gold, instantly expanded in size!

Ten times, a hundred times!

It was even larger than the head of the Black Flame Giant Beast!

With one hammer blow falling down!

Boom—!!!

Like a meteorite striking the ground, shockwaves instantly spread out!

The entire earth was shaking!

Furthermore, for some reason, this hammer blow left the Black Flame Giant Beast dazed and its body stiffened!

[Attack effective! Target HP -230558]

[Weapon trait triggered, effect: Dizziness! Forced stiffness for three seconds!]

Dong—! Dong—!! Dong—!!!

Although it was somewhat unexpected, one hit struck the soul.

However, Lu Qingyun still took advantage of this time period to directly land several heavy blows on the Black Flame Giant Beast!

"Roar!!"

"Human, what kind of ability is this!?"

After the stiffness period ended, the Black Flame Giant Beast used its massive body to violently knock Lu Qingyun flying!

And to its surprise, Lu Qingyun didn't put up any resistance at all.

In fact, he even took advantage of the time to land another hit on it!

This gave it the feeling of fighting against a Vicious Beast Emperor; it was pure... yet not quite so pure.

After all, the three seconds of stiffness just now truly left it feeling lingering fear.

If its defense hadn't been so high, those few hits just now would likely have been enough to hammer its skull into a collapse!

Seeing the Black Flame Giant Beast take the initiative to ask, Lu Qingyun did not rush up immediately.

He didn't answer either, just looked at the Black Flame Giant Beast with a cold sneer, as if he were deliberately hiding some conspiracy.

And just like that, after smiling for a few seconds and fully recovering the health and stamina lost from being struck once, he charged out again!

His momentum was exactly the same as at the beginning, ferociously unmatched, without the slightest fear of death!

"Come, fight!!"

Lu Qingyun did not waste words with the Black Flame Giant Beast. He only wanted the opponent to feel the power of his little hammer.

[Attack effective! Target HP -354051]

[Ding! Attacked Vicious Beast Emperor, Hammer Rhyme experience +25415...]

[Ding! Your Hammer Rhyme Realm! Hammer Rhyme Seventh Layer! Current progress: 15421 / 2350000]

"Eighty!"

"Eighty!!"

Lu Qingyun felt as if his whole being was about to soar with pleasure. Every time the hammer landed on the Black Flame Giant Beast, there was feedback!

His hammer was becoming more familiar with each use. It had long surpassed the Sword Rhyme level, becoming the number one on his weapon panel!

Nowadays, he could be said to be at a Realm higher than the unity of man and hammer.

The rhythmic thumping seemed to carry a unique cadence, and the force grew heavier and heavier!

But while Lu Qingyun was enjoying himself, the Black Flame Giant Beast was almost paralyzed!

It admitted that it had indeed been a bit arrogant at first. It thought it could easily handle this human Prodigy, but the development of events seemed to have completely deviated from expectations from the very beginning!

What did it mean that the opponent's body was comparable to a Vicious Beast Emperor!?

After clashing head-on, although it held some advantage, why was it that this human kid seemed completely unaware of what being injured meant? He didn't even need a moment to catch his breath; when his bones broke, he just twisted them a bit and they were usable again.

What Spirit Arts, what Moves. There were none at all; he relied entirely on pure combat instinct! Primitive, bloody, violent...

This posture made him look more like a Vicious Beast than it did!

Especially, from time to time... after that hammer struck down, it would be unable to Move for a period. It could only endure the attacks during that time!

So much so that... the Black Flame Giant Beast's thousand-foot body was now a bloody mess. Its scales had been hammered off for the most part, and the entire beast was nearly hammered into a pulp of flesh!

It felt that this kid was not engaged in a life-or-death battle. He was completely conducting a dimensionality reduction strike against it with an exceptionally calm and relaxed attitude!

And the truth was indeed so.

"What a suitable target for grinding proficiency."

"Large size, not very strong."

"It's just... this life resilience isn't very good, can't handle even this much?"

As the resistance of the Black Flame Giant Beast continuously weakened, the proficiency Lu Qingyun could obtain also plummeted, which made him somewhat dissatisfied.

But this dissatisfaction soon disappeared. Because...

[Ding! Defeated unknown Rank Black Flame Giant Beast, defeated across Ranks! Rewards greatly increased! Level experience +235400215, Max HP permanently +25791205.]

[Ding! Level up! Current Level LV52.]

As a weak roar sounded, the Black Flame Giant Beast completely collapsed in front of Lu Qingyun, its aura weak. At this moment, only a light finishing blow was needed to slay it directly!

And just at this time...

"Human, a life for a life."

A cold voice sounded.

Lu Qingyun looked up. He saw that above the firmament, Qin Cang, who had previously been high-spirited and god-like, was now being held captive by the Little White Beast like a dead dog.

Within the space barrier he was in, terrifying space blades were permeating. At any moment, they could completely mince him!

And within that space barrier, Qin Cang, who had been beaten until his nose was bruised and face swollen, looked at Lu Qingyun and waved his hand somewhat embarrassedly.

Obviously, he himself hadn't expected that this space-type Vicious Beast Emperor would be so ferocious!

Clearly, the years since its birth absolutely would not exceed a hundred years, yet its strength was so terrifying. Could it be a peerless Prodigy among Vicious Beasts?

However, fortunately, although he lost, Lu Qingyun had won! One to one, at least it was not a loss.

And just as he was thinking this in his heart, Lu Qingyun's voice, carrying a hint of confusion, rang out.

"A life for a life?"

"But what you have is his life, why should I trade!?"

Lu Qingyun's confusion was not feigned. It was that he truly, from the bottom of his heart, did not understand why these guys always liked to use other people's lives to threaten him!

Especially using the life of someone who didn't get along with him. To tell the truth, its usefulness was no greater than the third sea urchin hair in his armpit counting from left to right.

"How about... you change the bargaining chip?"

"For example, you choke your own neck. If I don't agree, you just choke yourself to death."

Lu Qingyun suggested sincerely. And actually, if the Little White Beast really did that, he would indeed be quite hesitant.
