Chapter 176: Chapter 116: So I’m Bigfoot?
But then, Jiang Che suddenly leaped to the side and started taking off his clothes.
Jin Hao and Shi Chen froze.
’What kind of stunt is this?’
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what do you think you’re doing, kid? You might have delicate skin and a pretty face, but we’re not into that sort of thing!" Jin Hao said with a frown.
Jiang Che chuckled. "Hehe, you’ll find out what I’m going to do soon enough!"
"Kid, I don’t care what tricks you have up your sleeve. Just die!"
The two of them raised their sabers and charged.
Jiang Che finished stripping off his clothes and cracked a small smile.
’Black Abyss Form!’
BOOM—
In an instant, Jiang Che began to visibly expand!
Jiang Che grew larger and larger as black, scale-like armor began to form over his body.
By the time the two men snapped out of their daze, Jiang Che had become a Black-armored Giant standing over three meters tall. He was incredibly muscular, with fists larger than a normal person’s head.
’Huh, the Black Armor Form seems to have gotten taller since I reached Force Integration...’
Jiang Che mused to himself.
Although Jin Hao and Shi Chen were momentarily shocked, they sensed that the Black-armored Giant was still only at the Force Integration realm and had not yet reached Bone Forging, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Stop with the cheap tricks and die!"
The two men lunged forward, their blades striking Jiang Che’s body.
However, their blades didn’t sink into flesh.
CLANG—
It was like striking an iron plate, producing a sharp, metallic ring and a shower of sparks.
While Jin Hao was still stunned, Jiang Che slammed a fist into his chest.
Jin Hao instantly felt as if he’d been hit by a charging elephant. His body shot backward like a cannonball.
While he was still in mid-air, Jiang Che’s figure flickered and reappeared behind him. Jiang Che intercepted him with a front kick to the spine.
THUD—
Jin Hao was sent flying again, crashing to the ground and rolling several times before coming to a stop.
He violently spat out a mouthful of blood and, using his saber for support, struggled back to his feet, his eyes filled with terror.
Jiang Che was also a little surprised.
’Bone Forging Level experts are really something else. He’s not dead even after that.’
If his opponent had been a Force Integration Martial Artist, that first punch would have smashed them to a pulp.
After reaching Force Integration, Jiang Che’s base strength had increased significantly compared to his time in the Iron Skin Realm.
On top of that, he now had Qi Force.
Qi Force could be used to neutralize an opponent’s Qi Force.
Therefore, if his opponent were just an ordinary Force Integration Martial Artist, their protective Qi Force would be neutralized, and their physical body would be crushed by Jiang Che’s immense power.
But for a Bone Forger Martial Artist, their Qi Force undergoes a qualitative leap, making their protective ability far stronger.
Jiang Che’s Qi Force couldn’t yet break through the defense of Bone Forging Force.
If the Qi Force of a Force Integration Martial Artist was like a plastic shell around their body, then for a Bone Forger Martial Artist, that shell was made of solid steel!
’But no matter how hard a turtle’s shell is, if you keep hammering it, it’s bound to crack eventually...’
Jiang Che stomped his foot, blasting a crater in the ground as his figure instantly appeared before Jin Hao.
"Die!"
Jiang Che clasped his fists together and hammered them down with all his might!
But Shi Chen had already closed in from the other side. He raised his saber and slashed at Jiang Che’s back, trying to save Jin Hao.
As if he hadn’t even seen him, Jiang Che let Shi Chen’s attack land, his own strike on Jin Hao continuing unabated.
BOOM—
A massive crater was instantly smashed into the ground, and Jin Hao himself was hammered deep into the earth.
At the same time, Shi Chen’s saber bit into Jiang Che’s back.
But it only sank an inch deep before it could go no further.
The blade was caught fast in the Black Armor, and for a moment, he couldn’t pull it free.
Jiang Che paid no mind to Shi Chen behind him and continued hammering Jin Hao, who was buried in the ground.
BOOM—
BOOM—
...
Like a pile driver, Jiang Che hammered down more than a dozen times.
He only stopped when the ground had been pounded into a crater several meters deep.
In the center of the crater, Jin Hao had been beaten to death. His skull was split in two, his entire chest cavity had been caved in, and his body was mangled beyond human recognition.
All this time, Shi Chen had been attacking with all his might from behind.
But to his horror, not only was the Black-armored Giant’s defense impenetrable, but its regenerative ability was also monstrously fast.
Before he could land his next strike, the wound from the last one had already healed!
Seeing Jin Hao beaten to a pulp, Shi Chen’s will finally broke.
"Monster... Monster!"
He screamed and turned tail to run.
But he didn’t get two steps before a massive hand clamped down on his head.
"Come back."
The words, like a Demon’s whisper, echoed in his ear.
Then, he was lifted off the ground by his head, his entire body dangling in the air as he was dragged back.
BOOM—
BOOM—
BOOM—
...
After another dozen smashes, a second crater appeared on the forest floor.
After finishing his kills, Jiang Che’s ears once again filled with countless whispers.
"Kill..."
He began to search for other living creatures. Suddenly, he glimpsed the terrified Iron-Horned Deer cowering in a corner of the Deer Garden.
He grinned and charged in.
The Iron-Horned Deer scattered, but he still managed to grab one.
Jiang Che brought a fist down, and the Iron-Horned Deer was killed instantly.
Smelling the deer’s blood on his fist, Jiang Che, still in his Black Armor Form, suddenly felt an intense pang of hunger.
He lifted the Iron-Horned Deer, opened his massive jaws, and began to devour it raw.
Seeing this, the other Iron-Horned Deer cried out in terror, but they were trapped by the fence and could only huddle together in a corner.
Before long, Jiang Che had devoured the entire Iron-Horned Deer, leaving nothing but a skeleton.
An intense feeling of fullness spread through his stomach.
He suddenly froze.
’What am I... doing?’
He slammed a fist into his own chest.
The Transformation slowly faded.
"Ugh..."
Jiang Che looked at the chaotic scene, his head starting to ache.
He had beaten two Bone Forging Realm Demon Sect moles to death and eaten an Iron-Horned Deer raw.
Feeling the potent surge of Qi Blood in his stomach, Jiang Che understood that this Iron-Horned Deer Meat was Top Grade Exotic Beast Meat.
