Sword Saints Should Go Tank

Chapter 35: Reborn From a Drop of Blood?

Seeing that their own people were falling while the Evil remained unscathed throughout the whole battle, the Barbarian Blood Warrior shouted loudly at the rest of the barbarians.

“Don’t engage close with it, stay away from it. Use the bows and the javelins!”

As the barbarians were proficient in hunting, so it was only normal some of them were experts bows and javelins. 

On the other hand, there were also more barbarians coming out of the village to join in the fight.

Soon, some of them came with their bows and shot out arrows dyed with their blood at the Evil.

However, the Evil sure was good in swordsmanship. It was able to evade most of the incoming arrows and parry the rest with its umbrella.

One could only say, it was the village’s nightmare to come across an Evil like this.

While it was evading the attacks, the Evil was also charging toward the barbarians with the bows.

If it succeeds in taking down the patrolling barbarians, it would enter the village and endanger every single villager.

Although the barbarians tried to stop it, their efforts were laid in vain. The Evil’s high swordsmanship could easily harm and even kill the barbarians.

But just when the Evil was about to approach the barbarians holding bows and arrows, a figure dashed out from the side, interceptuing the Evil, it was Lu Chen.

Although Lu Chen was pushed back by the Evil’s deadly blow and had his heart severely wounded, even forced to punch himself to spit out a mouthful of blood, his strong Constitution allowed Lu Chen to recover from just a short rest.

However, the Evil was unflinched against the recovered Lu Chen. It didn’t even slow down its gait.

At the same time, it opened up the umbrella in another attempt to trick Lu Chen’s battle judgment so his brute strength would be useless. 

After all, no matter how strong his attacks could be, there’s no point if he couldn’t land them.

But a ruthless smile radiated on Lu Chen’s pale face when he saw the Evil’s reaction.

You are swift as the wind and your attacks are unpredictable. You are more of a Swordsman than I am. But to people like you, crowd control skills are your biggest fears!

Lu Chen suddenly squinted his eyes at the charging Evil. Immediately, a wave of dominating aura burst out from Lu Chen and densed the air around him.

It was the Gold-grade skill—[Conqueror’s Haki]!

When the Conqueror’s Haki was activated, the battlefield fell silent followed by noises of objects falling to the ground.

The noises came from the barbarian warriors who couldn’t withstand the pressure and fell to the ground. This only happened because Lu Chen was still unable to control his low-level Conqueror’s Haki very well.

On the other hand, it also showed just how powerful his Conqueror’s Haki was to put the barbarians on the ground.

Although the Evil in front of Lu Chen didn’t fall like the barbarians, it wasn’t feeling good either. Its charging gait was interrupted and it lost its grip on the black umbrella. The umbrella fell to the ground. 

It was also affected by Lu Chen’s Conqueror’s Haki, even though it was only a split second.

But a split second was already enough for Lu Chen.

Lu Chen brought down the metal sword straight down at it.

At the same time, while he was delivering his strike, Lu Chen’s body bulged in size and his strength gathered together in his body.

[Undying Rage]!

[Critical Strike]!

As soon as the battle started and seeing his fellow warriors falling on the battlefield, Lu Chen’s Fury has been gradually culminating. When he saw the Evil charging at him, Lu Chen already had his metal sword high up and stood in the stance ready to deliver the [Critical Strike].

First, he used the Conqueror’s Haki to interrupt the Evil’s momentum, then activated the Undying Rage to empower his prowess and finally cast the Critical Strike to deliver his strongest and most deadliest final blow.

Lu Chen was sure even a Barbarian Body Warrior wouldn’t stand a chance against this strike.

Truth proved him right.

When the attack landed, the Evil was asundered into bits and pieces.

Not only that but after it slay the Evil, the metal sword continued to hit on the ground.

Krong—

A hole that was three-meter in diameter was made with cracks splitting the ground out six meters away from the hole.

One strike, that was all it took to slay the Evil and crack the ground. Such was the combined prowess of Undying Rage and Critical Strike.

Lu Chen smiled happily to see what he was capable of.

Whereas behind Lu Chen, the barbarians started to awoke from the effects of the Conqueror’s Haki.

When they saw the aftermath of Lu Chen’s final blow, the hole as well as the cracks on the ground, they were shocked.

“How… strong…”

“No wonder Master Wuzu valued him so much as a talent.”

“That’s wonderful! The Evil is dead! Master Wuzu sure is right. With someone like Ah’Chen protecting the village, we will be so much safer now!”

“Pray the ancestors, I initially still thought we’d die today.”

…

He ignored the barbarians behind him and carried his metal sword on his shoulder. Lu Chen looked at the remnants of the Evil and smiled ruthlessly.

“Don’t ever think of fooling me with the same trick twice!”

As he finished mocking, Lu Chen was ready to leave and take a rest. However, just as he turned around, a thought flashed in his mind and a chill swallowed his heart.

At the same time, a clamor came from barbarians, shouting in panic and calling out in fear in front of Lu Chen. 

“Ah’Chen, be careful, the Evil…”

“Careful…”

As their voices entered his ears, Lu Chen’s thoughts also reminded him.

There was no system message, it’s not dead yet!

Lu Chen was feeling awful when he thought of the remnants of the Evil while listening to the shouts of the barbarians.

Damn it, what a pain in the ass. I’ll still accept the settings for the human-head fireballs to be able to rekindle, after all, they are spiritual elements. But come on, you are a body of material, how is it possible for you to come back alive. Can you reborn from a drop of blood? Isn’t that a bug already?

Although he was complaining in his heart, the chill in his heart and the shouts of the barbarians still prompted Lu Chen to quickly turn back around.

Let’s hope this Evil will take time to come back like the human-head fireballs. In that case, I still have some time to ready myself. Otherwise, I’ll be in deep trouble.

Having the hope in him, Lu Chen wished that the Evil would take its time to come back. That way, he would be able to crush it before it fully comes back.

However, when he turned around and looked, Lu Chen saw the remnants of the Evil still on the same spot, it didn’t seemed like the Evil wasn’t coming back at all.

Lu Chen was flummoxed.

What’s going on? The Evil isn’t coming back?

While Lu Chen was surprised, the barbarians’ calls finally reached Lu Chen.

“Ah’Chen, above you!”

Above?

Lu Chen looked up and realized the sky turned pitch black. 

Wait, no. It wasn’t the sky. It was something that covered the sky and was coming down at him from the above. 

Lu Chen wasn’t an idiot. At the very instant he saw the item, he immediately understood the entire situation.

God damn it! We’ve all been fooled! The man isn’t the Evil. It’s the umbrella! The man was just a puppet that the umbrella has been controlling all these while!
