Chapter 133 The Tyrant's Sword Intertwined with Thunder and Fire
It's sizzling!
The two elements, which were originally violent and mutually exclusive, became like wild horses that had been forcibly put on reins the moment they came into contact with the mithril liquid.
Mithril's excellent magical conductivity came into play, transforming into countless silver threads invisible to the naked eye, forcibly stitching together the blue-purple electric arcs and the dark red flames of destruction.
Jiang Ming pressed his hands firmly against the table.
He felt as if his head had been hit hard by a sledgehammer.
The spiritual energy within his body was being frantically drained away by the [Synthesis of All Things] talent, like a flood bursting its banks.
For an ordinary person, such a mental exhaustion would be enough to cause them to bleed from all seven orifices and faint on the spot.
However, Jiang Ming's [Iron Will] was triggered instantly, and the excruciating pain deep in his brain was forcibly weakened to a tolerable level.
"Melt it for me!"
Jiang Ming let out a low roar and increased the output of his mental energy.
A blinding burst of light erupted from the tabletop, and the temperature in the room had reached an absurd level.
The wooden bed frame began to carbonize extensively, and the dust on the ceiling was turned into smoke before it could even settle.
boom!
A dull blast of air suddenly exploded outwards from the wooden table.
The wooden walls of the entire "Old One-Eyed" hotel trembled violently, and the cheap gas lamps outside the corridor shattered with a "bang," plunging the entire second floor into darkness.
"Brother Jiang!" Chen Qi's tense shout came from outside the door, accompanied by the metallic scraping sound of a gun bolt being pulled.
"Don't come in! Wait outside!" Jiang Ming's voice came through the door, tinged with suppressed panting.
The light gradually faded.
Jiang Ming straightened up and exhaled a long, hot breath.
He looked down and saw that the broken wooden table had been completely reduced to a pile of black ash, and in the ashes lay a heavy weapon with an extremely exaggerated design.
The originally heavy black iron sword blade was completely reshaped, and its length increased to an astonishing 1.8 meters.
The blade was a chilling dark red, its surface covered with eerie blue lightning patterns that flowed like lava.
At the sword guard, the broken horn of the Abyssal Fire Demon was perfectly integrated, forming a hideous demon head gauntlet.
Jiang Ming reached out and grasped the sword hilt.
It was extremely heavy, weighing at least a hundred pounds. But it was just the right weight for Jiang Ming, whose strength exceeded 30 points.
The moment he gripped the sword hilt, a warm and violent force surged through his palms and into his limbs and bones.
[Ding! Synthesis successful!]
[Obtained: Blazing Thunder Prison - Horse-Slaying Sword (Purple Epic)]
[Attribute Preview: Attack +85. Strength +5, Constitution +3.]
【Special Effect 1 - Blazing Blade: Each physical attack inflicts 200 points of true burning damage and has a very high chance to ignite the target, causing continuous damage. Damage is doubled against wood-attribute and spirit-type monsters.】
【Special Effect 2 - Thunder Prison Paralysis: A two-meter radius electromagnetic field automatically forms around the sword. Any enemy that gets close will be slowed and slightly shocked. When actively slashing, a bolt of lightning-fire sword energy is released, causing a 100% paralysis effect.】
【Special Effect 3 - Overload Detonation (Active Skill): The sword is plunged into the ground, draining all the internal lightning and fire energy in one go, causing a devastating elemental explosion within a radius of twenty meters.】
[Note: This is a ruthless tyrant's sword. Wielding it, you become a meat grinder on the battlefield.]
Jiang Ming looked at the panel that popped up on his retina and a satisfied smile spread across his face.
Purple epic weapon.
The attribute bonuses are incredibly powerful; the base attack power alone is five or six times higher than the previous Black Iron Horse-Slaying Sword, not to mention the three ridiculously overpowered special effects.
Especially the "overload detonation" feature, which is equivalent to carrying a high-yield bunker buster bomb with you.
Jiang Ming held the giant sword in one hand and casually twirled it in mid-air.
hum-
The blade sliced through the air, leaving behind a dark red flash and crackling arcs of electricity.
A pungent smell of ozone and burnt odor filled the air.
Just then, Jiang Ming's ears twitched slightly.
His perception attribute, which was as high as 13 points, allowed him to clearly detect the extremely faint breathing sounds coming from outside the window.
The sound was close to the outer wall, less than two meters from his window.
There are rats.
Jiang Ming, carrying the [Fire and Thunder Prison], quietly walked to the window.
Outside the window was the dimly lit back alley of Ash Fortress, with rain dripping from the eaves.
A thin figure dressed in black, tight-fitting leather armor was clinging to the wall like a gecko, holding a brass tube that resembled a stethoscope, and trying to stuff it into a crack in the window.
These are undercover agents sent by the Black Gold Merchant Guild.
Although Marlowe agreed to cooperate, his businessman nature made it impossible for him to fully trust Jiang Ming, so sending someone to investigate was inevitable.
Jiang Ming had no intention of indulging this bad habit.
He took half a step back, gripped the sword hilt with both hands, and aimed at the wooden wall where the sentry was located.
Without any preparation, he delivered a straight horizontal swing.
boom!
The dark red blade sliced through the thick wooden wall as easily as cutting tofu.
A crescent-shaped beam of lightning and fire sword energy burst through the wall, drawing a blinding streak of light in the night.
A crescent-shaped beam of lightning and fire sword energy burst through the wall, drawing a blinding streak of light in the night.
"ah--!"
A piercing scream came from outside the wall.
The sentry didn't even have time to react. He only saw a flash of red light before an irresistible force, accompanied by terrifying heat and electricity, slammed into his chest.
He was thrown back by the shockwave and crashed heavily into the brick wall opposite him, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Jiang Ming kicked open the broken wall and jumped directly from the second floor.
The silver knight's armor landed with a dull thud.
He carried the greatsword, which was still spitting sparks, and walked step by step to the sentry.
The sentry's face was filled with terror; a large section of his leather armor had been burned through, with tiny arcs of electricity still flickering at the edges.
He was convulsing all over, and didn't even have the strength to get up. The special effect of [Thunder Prison Paralysis] made it difficult for him to even move a finger.
"A Lv.16 wanderer. Marlowe's men are decent, but not very bright." Jiang Ming looked down at him, the tip of his sword pressed against the sentry's neck.
The scorching hot blade instantly charred the skin on the sentry's neck, and the smell of roasted meat filled the air.
"M-My lord, spare me..." The sentry cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face, as he desperately managed to squeeze out a few words.
"Go back and tell Marlowe." Jiang Ming's voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly audible in the quiet back alley. "This is the first and last time. If he dares to send anyone near me again, there's no point in discussing cooperation tomorrow. I'll personally go to the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce and twist his head off to use as a chamber pot."
Jiang Ming sheathed his giant sword and turned to walk towards the back door of the inn.
"roll."
The sentry, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, scrambled to his feet, clutching his chest, and disappeared into the night.
On the second-floor corridor, Chen Qi and Xiao Zhang peeked out and looked at the huge, charred hole in the wall below. They exchanged a glance and saw deep awe in each other's eyes.
Jiang Ge's abilities are becoming increasingly incomprehensible.
……
Silent all night.
The next morning, the sky over Ash Keep was still overcast, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur and moldy wood.
Jiang Ming pushed open the door, and Chen Qi and the others had already gathered in the corridor.
Ellie, with her hands tied behind her back, leaned against the wall, looking dejected.
The terrifying magical fluctuations from last night kept her awake all night, and a deep-seated fear filled her eyes when she looked at Jiang Ming.
"Brother Jiang, where are we going today?" Chen Qi asked, stepping forward.
"Wait for the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce to come and make contact."
Jiang Ming wrapped the [Fire and Thunder Prison] in a tattered oilcloth and carried it on his back.
The weapon's design is too eye-catching; there's no need to make a big fuss about it before we've figured out the situation at the ruins.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a violent crashing sound came from downstairs.
"Are you blind?! Do you even know who we are? We're from the Blood Axe Trading Company. Hand over those humans who checked in yesterday!"
Then came the orc boss's pig-like screams: "Sir, spare me! They're on the second floor! In the two innermost rooms!"
Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow.
Blood Axe Trading Company?
Marlowe mentioned it yesterday; they are the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce's mortal enemies.
It seems that the money I lost at the Chamber of Commerce last night, coupled with the commotion I caused at the hotel, has attracted flies.
"Brother Jiang, this guy doesn't have good intentions." Xiao Zhang pulled the safety off his rifle.
"Keep an eye on him, I'll go down and handle it."
Jiang Ming walked down the wooden stairs at a leisurely pace.
In the dilapidated hall on the first floor, stood a dozen burly men wearing red studded leather armor.
The leader was bald, with a hideous scar running from the corner of his eye to his chin.
He held a blood-dripping two-handed axe in his hand, and the orc boss lay at his feet, his head covered in blood, his fate unknown.
As soon as Jiang Ming came down, Scarface's gaze instantly locked onto the silver knight armor he was wearing.
"So you're the human who sold the high-grade alchemical bomb to that old bastard Marlos yesterday?" Scarface spat, pointing his axe at Jiang Ming arrogantly. "I'm Buck, the third-in-command of the Blood Axe Trading Company. I heard you still have some in stock?"
Jiang Ming stopped in the middle of the stairs, looking down at him without saying a word.
Buck's gaze passed over Jiang Ming and landed on Ellie, the elf, in the second-floor corridor. His eyes immediately lit up like light bulbs.
"Heh heh, a live Silvermoon Elf! This quality would fetch a fortune on the black market!" Buck grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "Kid, you're lucky. Our Bloodaxe Trading Company has our eye on what you have. Hand over the bomb formula, and leave that elf girl here, and I'll spare your life today."
The dozen or so thugs around immediately scattered, blocking the hotel's doors and windows, each pulling out a weapon and grinning maliciously.
Jiang Ming sighed.
The people in Ash Fortress all seem to have the same opening line.
"You just said you're from the Blood Axe Trading Company?" Jiang Ming asked.
"What? Scared?" Buck laughed arrogantly. "If you're scared, then kneel down and kowtow, handing over the stuff with both hands!"
Buck was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Jiang Ming meant.
stab-
Jiang Ming ripped off the oilcloth.
The dark red [Hellfire and Thunder Prison] was exposed to the air, and the pale blue arcs of electricity leaping on its blade instantly caused the temperature in the hall to soar.
"Perfect, I'll use you all as a sacrifice for my new sword."
Buck's eyelids twitched when he saw the enormous sword in Jiang Ming's hand, which had an extremely exaggerated design.
As a level 18 berserker who had been in Ash Fortress for so many years, he could tell at a glance that this weapon was no ordinary item.
The dark red flames and eerie blue arcs flowing across the sword created a suffocating sense of oppression that could be felt even from more than ten meters away.
"Damn it, he's tough! Let's all go and chop him up!" Buck reacted quickly, roared, gripped his axe tightly, and charged towards Jiang Ming on the stairs.
A dozen thugs rushed forward, while archers quickly nocked their crossbows and aimed at Jiang Ming.
"court death."
Jiang Ming stood on the steps, without even making a move to dodge.
He gripped the hilt of the [Fire and Thunder Prison] sword with both hands, raised it high, and slashed it down at Buck, who was charging at the front, without any fancy moves.
boom!
The blade sliced through the air with a deafening roar.
The special effects [Blade of Calamity] and [Paralysis of Thunder Prison] are triggered simultaneously!
A three-meter-long, dark red, crescent-shaped sword aura, accompanied by violent lightning, poured down the stairs like a tsunami.
Buck saw a flash of red light and instinctively raised his steel axe to try to block.
The moment they made contact, his prized steel axe was as if it were made of paper, instantly sliced in two by the sword energy.
Immediately afterwards, the terrifying heat and electric current struck his chest directly.
"ah--!"
Buck let out his last scream.
The moment his upper body came into contact with the flames, his leather armor, flesh, and bones were instantly carbonized.
The violent lightning surged down his legs and into the ground, blasting a large crater in the wooden floor.
One sword, and half of the berserker's body was instantly vaporized.
The remaining half of the coke fell to the ground with a "thud," shattering into a pile of black ash.
The entire hotel lobby fell into a deathly silence.
The dozen or so thugs rushing behind Buck abruptly stopped in their tracks.
As they stared at the pile of ashes belonging to the third leader on the ground, their sinister smiles froze completely, replaced by extreme terror.
One-hit kill?
Not even a complete corpse was left behind?
"Monster...monster!" A crossbowman was so frightened that his hand trembled, and the crossbow bolt in his hand shot out uncontrollably.
Ding!
The crossbow bolt struck Jiang Ming's silver knight armor, but didn't even leave a mark; it bounced off directly.
Jiang Ming raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the group of thugs who were already terrified, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
"Since we're already here, what's the rush?"
He carried the greatsword and descended the stairs step by step. The heavy combat boots pounded on the wooden floor with a chilling thud.
"Run! Run!"
Someone shouted, and the remaining dozen or so thugs instantly collapsed, scrambling and crawling towards the door and windows.
"Chen Qi, open fire. Don't let any of them escape," Jiang Ming coldly said.
"clear!"
On the second-floor corridor, Chen Qi immediately picked up his rifle.
Xiao Zhang and several other special operations team members quickly took their positions, their dark gun barrels pointed at the lobby on the first floor.
Da da da da da—!
A barrage of gunfire erupted inside the hotel.
