Chapter 168 - 167: The Aroma of Tang Ruan’s Meat
Chapter 168: Chapter 167: The Aroma of Tang Ruan’s Meat
In the territory shrouded by night, Qi Yue’s voice was crystal clear.
All the women were waiting for this command.
Almost simultaneously, 220 Wooden Spears were all launched.
Amidst the dancing flames, the sight was hazy and indistinct.
"Fuck your mother!"
Zhao Ji cursed as the flames in his hands surged.
Two large Fireballs materialized and blasted toward the formation of Wooden Spears in the air.
BOOM!
Dozens of Wooden Spears were shattered, falling everywhere as they burned.
Like fireworks burning out and fading away.
But over a hundred Wooden Spears still hurtled down.
SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH!
A cyan Energy Shield lit up in Li Yan’s hand, protecting himself and Zhao Ji.
The several hundred Blood Race Warriors behind them also manifested small Energy Shields in their left hands, raising them high to block the Wooden Spears.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!
A series of dull thuds followed.
A dozen or so Blood Race Warriors were hit by the spears, but the Wooden Spears struck their Black Armor, causing almost no damage.
After all, the Black Armor was made of iron.
The Wooden Spears could only reduce the Black Armor’s Durability slightly; they couldn’t penetrate their Defense at all.
The remaining hundred or so Wooden Spears were all blocked by the Energy Shields and fell to the ground.
The Energy Shields merely dimmed a little in color, with no other effects.
"Damn it, I told you those women were full of tricks! Full-scale attack!"
Li Yan cursed as he gave the order.
Zhao Ji said, "The Lord and those two Female Heroes are to be taken alive. Kill the rest!"
"Yes, sir!"
Several hundred Black Armored Soldiers charged out.
Like a black tide.
The Energy Shields in their left hands glowed with a dim blue light, while they gripped Short Swords in their right, advancing rapidly.
A purple light emerged in the sky.
In an instant, it enveloped Zhao Ji, Li Yan, and more than twenty others.
A purple light tainted Zhao Ji’s red pupils.
"Listen the fuck up! Take out that woman in the middle first! She looks all pure, but she’s the most vicious one. Kill her first!"
"Yes, sir!"
The charging Soldiers converged their formation, all rushing toward Tang Ruan.
This was especially true for the nineteen Blood Race Soldiers whose pupils were tainted purple.
Each one bared their teeth, eager to kill her immediately.
Li Yan felt a fire ignite in his heart.
But he knew it was because of a Spiritual Technique.
’This rage... it must be the Taunt Skill.’
Almost instantly, a yellow light erupted from his body, dispelling the Taunt Spiritual Technique affecting his allies.
"Master Zhao Ji, how are you? You must remain calm."
Zhao Ji’s pupils returned to their red color.
The violent rage in his heart dissipated.
He was a little surprised. "So that woman uses Taunt? I thought it was Treatment. No matter, it’s all the same who we fight. Capture her first!"
With that said, another Fireball condensed in his hand.
He raised his hand and blasted it forward.
WHOOSH~
The large Fireball shot through a gap between the Soldiers and slammed into three Female Soldiers next to Tang Ruan.
"Urgh!"
"Yaaah!"
"Oof~"
The three Female Soldiers’ Iron Shields were dented and their edges burned red as their bodies were sent flying, crashing into their teammates behind them.
"How are you?! Take your potions!"
At a moment like this, Tang Ruan didn’t have time to look back; she could only stare ahead and shout her instructions.
"They have some burns, but they’re okay."
"Careful, another Fireball is coming! Block it with your shields!"
BOOM!
Another three Female Soldiers were sent flying.
Two gaps appeared in the formation around Tang Ruan.
But they were quickly filled by the Female Soldiers from the rear.
By now, the enemy’s Blood Race Warriors had arrived.
Tang Ruan shouted, "It’s our turn! Combat Technique - Thrust!"
"Combat Technique - Thrust!"
The Female Soldiers on both sides gripped their Iron Spears.
The spear tips glowed red.
They thrust forward in unison.
At the same time, the Short Swords of the opposing Blood Race Warriors also glowed with a dangerous light.
"Oh, not bad. Those women actually didn’t run."
"If they don’t run, they die. Let’s pierce their necks."
"I’d rather bite their necks and drink their blood myself."
"Then let’s stab their livers and make them scream!"
The group of Blood Race Warriors charged forward with sinister grins.
But...
Why were those women smiling too?
At this point, no one had time to react any other way.
Spears and swords clashed with a resounding din.
PING PING PING PING!
CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG!
A large number of attacks were blocked by the Iron Shields and Spiritual Shields.
But many attacks still found their mark on their bodies.
Dozens of Female Soldiers’ Leather Armor was pierced by the Short Swords, but the sharp blades only managed to penetrate half a centimeter, failing to unleash their full power.
Although the Female Soldiers screamed in pain, it was just a cry. After all, they were Fearless, not painless.
Screaming from the pain didn’t affect their Combat Power at all.
Instead, they thrust their spears with even greater fury.
Although the Blood Race Soldiers were confused, they could only continue their attack.
However, the second wave of attacks yielded the same result.
The Female Soldiers’ Armor seemed to have an invisible protective layer, making it difficult to inflict the expected Damage.
’Impossible!’
’How is this Leather Armor so tough?’
It wasn’t that the Leather Armor was tough; it was just standard-quality Ordinary Leather Armor.
It was just that these Female Soldiers had put all their Enhancements into Defense.
Militia start with 5 Enhancement Points, and being Level 8 on average gives them another 8 points. With a total of 13 Enhancement Points, each point increases their Defense by 6%, based on their 6 points of Constitution.
All together, every one of them had a 78% Defense Bonus.
On top of that.
The Shirts they wore on top and the Silk Stockings on their legs each provided a 100% Defense Power boost.
In total, each person had a 178% Defense Bonus.
With this Bonus, their Leather Armor was almost as strong as Iron-Plated Armor.
While it couldn’t compare to true Iron Armor, inflicting serious injuries on them was now extremely difficult.
The fact that the attacks could still pierce their Leather Armor and cause some Damage was already impressive.
Although the Female Soldiers were in pain, their fighting spirit was completely unaffected.
In contrast, the Long Spears thrust by the Female Soldiers left the Blood Race Warriors at a loss.
The Iron Spears, empowered by the Thrusting Combat Skill, had their Penetration Power doubled.
The spear tips, imbued with power, drilled through the Blood Race’s Black Armor, punching bloody holes in their bodies.
Although the Blood Race were not Human, they still felt pain.
Dozens of Blood Race Soldiers screamed even louder than the women.
Tang Ruan’s Power was immense. With a single thrust of her spear, she actually pierced through one man’s heart.
Blood sprayed onto Tang Ruan’s cheek.
She shouted, "Maintain your defense! Keep using the Combat Skill!"
After speaking, the purple light flashed again, attracting the attention of twenty nearby people.
Li Yan had already charged forward.
The Spirit Light Shield in his left hand was huge, and his right hand once again lit up with flames.
"You reckless woman, still using Taunt? I was going to kill you first anyway, with or without it!"
This time, he didn’t dispel the Taunt.
Just as he’d said, he had to kill someone anyway, so it didn’t matter who he killed first.
It was better to save some Spiritual Energy to use on other Skills.
When Tang Ruan saw that he hadn’t dispelled the skill, she actually chuckled.
Focusing her Power, she thrust her spear.
BAM!
The red spear tip slammed into the Spiritual Shield. The massive recoil made Tang Ruan’s body freeze for a moment.
The Spiritual Shield looked like a translucent shield of light, but its Defense Power was not the least bit lacking.
Even Tang Ruan’s full-power attack, using the Combat Skill, couldn’t even get the tip of her spear through it.
The Spiritual Shield merely grew dimmer, but was otherwise mostly unaffected.
But Li Yan’s fingers were already jabbing forward.
"Burn, you bitch!"
The instant they touched her Leather Armor, bright flames erupted.
They seeped through the gaps in Tang Ruan’s Leather Armor.
Tang Ruan only felt an extreme heat on her body.
The next second, a "TSSSSSS" sound echoed from within her Armor, accompanied by the smell of scorched flesh.
Tang Ruan felt that after the burning sensation, her body actually started to feel a bit cool.
A feeling that was both painful and cool.
’Is this what it feels like to be burned to the extreme? A coldness?’
Immediately after, a large Fireball came blasting toward her.
It smashed directly into Tang Ruan.
BAM!
Tang Ruan blocked it with her Iron Shield, but the scattered streams of fire still burned her cheeks.
It hurt a lot.
Her cheeks hurt, but her body hurt more.
But... there was also a tingling, numbing sensation. It was a little itchy.
Tang Ruan knew that her Super-speed Self-Healing was taking effect.
Before long, all the wounds covering her body would be completely healed.
’I just have to hold on for a little while...’
Tang Ruan clenched her teeth, yet felt a strange sense of joy.
"It hurts so much... hehehe..."
Tang Ruan couldn’t help but laugh.
She didn’t know why she was laughing, but she just felt very happy, very excited.
It was the same feeling she got when she used too many Speeding Charms while making Silk Stockings with Zhao Chi.
Her body felt awful, but she was exceptionally excited.
Li Yan was stunned.
Looking at Tang Ruan, whose body was giving off the smell of cooked meat, he felt that this woman was completely insane.
"What the fuck... You’re fucking laughing? Let’s see if you can keep laughing!"
