Sword Saints Should Go Tank

Be it the Critical Strike that was leveled up to Intermediate and allowed him to cast Critical Strike in every attack while using a longsword, or the upgrade of his Swordsmanship into Master Swordsmanship, both of them have greatly improved Lu Chen’s prowess.

But Lu Chen wasn’t as happy when he felt the prowess flowing in him.

This world is way too dangerous. It was just a random item that a strong expert once held but after the item somehow turned into an Evil, I nearly died facing it. So what about their heirs and weapons? What kind of prowess will they hold in them?

Furthermore, the one I met in the vision was easy to get along. Even if it wasn’t him that demonized the umbrella, he still gave me some rewards for that as it somewhat happened because of him.

But even with the prowess he has, he didn’t manage to end the dangers in this world. This can only mean one thing—there is something else more dangerous in this world that is equivalent in prowess as him, or worse, strong enough to defeat him.

Furthermore, while he would reward me when he is in a good mood but he can also casually destroy me when he is in a bad mood, and that is still a lawful good swordsman. If it was some wicked Evil that I bump into, my life will solely be theirs to decide.

I’ll never allow anyone else to decide the fate of my life.

While others might see this as a blessing that improved their prowess, Lu Chen saw the cruel truth hidden behind it all. He would never want to be a petty bug that could be killed anytime by anyone.

I make my own fate.

Which was why, after Lu Chen understood the gains from the last battle, he only rested for half an hour before leaving the house again.

“Master, you are heading out again?”

“Stay home and wait for my return.”

After he finished saying, Lu Chen looked at the sun high in the sky and made his way to the west mountain.

It’s still not the time for me to laid back and relax now, not yet.

Lu Chen sprinted for half an hour and arrived at the foothill of the mountain west of Wild Bull Village.

This time, Lu Chen didn’t roam around searching for his prey. Instead, he looked around and quickly charged out at a certain direction.

Another half an hour passed, Lu Chen arrived in an empty valley and he nodded.

“According to Uncle Da Zhuang, the Babaric Beast lives somewhere close here.”

Barbaric Beasts were no ordinary beasts. They were richer in nutrients and energy. A lot of the ingredients in Wuzu’s hot soup were the blood and bones of the Barbaric Beasts.

However, they were rarely seen on the tables of the barbarians.

This was because humans were not the only dominant occupants in this world. Other than Evils, the Barbaric Beasts were also a huge threat to humanity.

Most of the time, the encounters with Barbaric Beasts in the wild would always end up with the humans in their stomach instead of them getting hunt down.

Moreso, the ordinary barbarians wouldn’t even get close to the abodes of the Barbaric Beasts. Even if they do, it would usually be an organized hunt where they try to defeat it by outnumbering the Barbaric Beast.

However, what made Lu Chen speechless was that although the village has organized a few hunts before, the Barbaric Beasts were smart enough to make a run for it when they find the humans coming for them. 

Hence, Lu Chen didn’t remember many attempts the village has organized hunts like that. But every time when they do, the whole village would be cheered to see the Barbaric Beasts running from them.

But this time, Lu Chen was here in a Barbaric Beast’s abode on his own.

The Barbaric Beast would certainly run if it finds itself outnumbered, but when it sees that he was here on his own, the Barbaric Beast would definitely not hesitate to come out and claim its food.

I am slow and lack ranged-skills. Thus, it’s impossible for me to chase after them if the beasts are any more agile and swifter than I am. But the same could not be said for the Barbaric Beasts, as long as I am in its territory, it will come find me on its own. This way, I won’t have to worry about letting my prey escape from my hands.

While it was true that Lu Chen didn’t have to worry about the beast running away from him, but it remains a question of which party was the hunter and who’s the hunted.

However, Lu Chen was prepared for it.

“No pain no gain. Come on, Fire Bull!”

Lu Chen didn’t lower his voice, he shouted at the top of his lungs and taunted the Barbaric Beast.

His voice rumbled in the air and resounded across the valley.

It was clearly a taunt to the ruler of the territory. 

Sure enough, the taunt enraged the Barbaric Beast.

Moo—

From far, a bull that was at least two-meters long let out a loud bellow and entered Lu Chen’s vicinity.

A ruthless smile radiated across Lu Chen’s face as he saw the bull.

I’m right. This is the fastest way to find a Barbaric Beast.

However, even when it was easy to find a Babaric Beast, it was extremely difficult to kill them.

Every single Barbaric Beast out there was no easy target.

At the same time, unlike what most would expect, it was mostly the humans that would attack the Barbaric Beasts from the back in a dark corner.

After all, the human bodies were not as strong as the Barbaric Beasts.

Hence, hunters have always employed traps, arrows, and all kinds of tactics in their hunts.

Those, of course, were means used by the ordinary barbarians. Although Lu Chen was also a barbarian, he was different from the rest.

Hunters used arrows, traps, and tactics because our bodies are no match for the beasts, that’s why we find our ways around to hunt them down.

But I’m no ordinary and I know nothing about hunting techniques. All I have is a strong body and immense Vigor!

The conventional hunting techniques are the least effective way for me as my biggest forte is going in a head-on battle!

As he thought, Lu Chen smiled and stared at the Barbaric Beast in bloodthirsty.

On the other hand, the Fire Bull lowered its head down at Lu Chen. It didn’t do that as a sign of submission but the omen of its attack. Its bull horns were aimed and targeted at Lu Chen.

Right after, it let out another angry bellow and stomped the ground, charging toward Lu Chen in a straight line.

While the bull was charging into him, Lu Chen felt the earth quaking beneath him. One could tell just how much force was there in the bull’s charge.

But that wasn’t the most terrifying part.

Krong!!

When it was charging forward, its red furs were flaring and glimmering, and suddenly, they started burning in flames.

At this point, the Fire Bull has really turned into a bull burning in fire. It stomped on the ground and charged out like a tank.

Even more, it grew even more terrifying that the Fire Bull was even quicker in speed after it started burning in fire.

The sudden increase in speed could definitely disrupt any plans its opponents have in mind.

Unavoidable.

Lu Chen noticed its sudden increase in speed and quickly realized that he would never be able to make it out in time.

It’s the right move for you to speed up, however, I never planned to move at all since the start!

Lu Chen wasn’t planning to evade the charging bull but instead, he inhaled deeply and raised his sword high, gathering all the energy in his body.

As he gathered his strength together, Lu Chen’s muscles and veins bulged out and he looked like a demon warrior from far. It was a pure horror to see his figure.

Then, the duo clashed together.

Seconds before the bull horns penetrate through Lu Chen’s chest, Lu Chen waved his sword straight down.

Come one, come at me! Let’s see who’s stronger!

He shouted and delivered his strongest sword blow.

Krong—

A loud blast was released from the center of the battlefield and quivered the air around them.

But Lu Chen’s attention was not on the aftermath of the battle.

At the moment their attacks clashed, Lu Chen felt as though he was rammed by a speeding vehicle. At that instant, a powerful force was launched at Lu Chen.

But Lu Chen wasn’t the same old barbarian anymore. Even though the force was powerful, Lu Chen’s stance remained the same with only his legs sinking slightly in the ground.

However, even though he wasn’t knocked over, the force pushed him back more than six meters back.

At the same time, the force traveled in his body and sored his muscles. His arms were numbed and his hands bleed heavily.

Not to mention that the Fire Bull’s fire was also burning Lu Chen’s body.

However, even though he was severely wounded, Lu Chen withstood it all with his high Constitution.
