Chapter 58: The Power of the Sword Shocks the Entire Field
A huge, muffled thud exploded in the empty square, accompanied by the crisp sound of bones shattering.
The giant rock deer, weighing a ton, was sent flying by the "Sword Spine Strike" which carried fifteen points of power.
Its thick neck twisted at an eerie ninety-degree angle, its massive body tumbled twice in the air, and finally crashed heavily onto the edge of the flower bed, kicking up a cloud of dust.
A deep trench was plowed into the cement ground.
Jiang Ming maintained his sword-wielding posture, his silver-white full-body armor gleaming with a cold metallic luster in the dim light.
The steps beneath his feet had been completely shattered, crushed to withstand the reaction force.
The giant deer was still convulsing.
Its tenacious vitality drove it to try to stand up, its four hooves kicking wildly on the ground, scattering soil from the flower bed everywhere.
"clang."
A silver metal combat boot slammed heavily onto the giant deer's head.
Jiang Ming held the sword in one hand, leaning his body forward.
The weight of the armor itself, combined with his current strength attribute of 15 points, felt like a mountain pressing down on him.
The giant deer let out a mournful cry, and its head, which had just been raised, was forcibly trampled back into the mud.
"Behave yourself."
A low, muffled growl came from beneath the mask.
"I'm quick, it won't hurt much."
Jiang Ming gripped the sword hilt with both hands in reverse, raised the broad black iron Zhanma sword high, aimed it at the still heaving carotid artery of Julu, and stabbed it down fiercely.
"Pfft!"
The sharp blade pierced through the flesh and went all the way to the handle.
Bright red deer blood gushed out from the blood groove, splashing onto the silver-white leg armor, instantly staining a large area red.
The giant deer convulsed violently a dozen times, its cloudy yellow eyes gradually lost focus, and its four hooves lay limply outstretched, completely still.
[Successfully defeated the Giant Horned Rock Deer (Lv.5), gaining 500 experience points.]
[Collectible materials detected: hard rock antlers, intact deer hide, and deer tendons.]
Jiang Ming drew his longsword and flicked the blood off the blade.
The square was deathly silent.
The only sound is the whistling of the wind.
On the second-floor balcony, Zhao Yanzhi's fine-quality composite bow had somehow drooped down.
He opened his mouth wide, staring down at the steel figure bathed in deer blood below, his Adam's apple bobbing laboriously.
What was that just now?
That was a monster that smashed people into a bloody pulp; it was a biological tank.
As a result, he was slapped and sent flying?
"Is...is this even human?"
The archery club members behind Zhao Yanzhi asked in trembling voices, voicing what everyone was thinking.
"Brother Jiang is awesome!!"
A hoarse roar shattered the silence.
Carrying the Blazing Battle Axe, Wang Yang, his face flushed with excitement, rushed out from the stairwell.
He circled the mountain-sized deer carcass twice, reached out and touched the broken giant antler, then looked at Jiang Ming, who was unharmed.
"Holy crap, Brother Jiang, if we stewed this in a huge pot, how many meals would that be?!"
Li Bin pushed up his glasses, gripping the poison piercing device tightly in his hand. Although he tried his best to remain calm, his slightly trembling fingers betrayed his inner shock.
He originally thought it would be a tough battle, and was even prepared for Jiang Ming to be injured if he made a mistake.
But Jiang Ming actually managed to kill the giant deer at the critical moment!
Is this the qualitative leap in strength brought about by daily rating and lottery?
This power has completely exceeded the scope of "ordinary survivors"; this is an "advanced survivor"!
"Stop spacing out, everyone."
Jiang Ming's voice interrupted everyone's shock.
He raised his armored fingers and pointed into the distance.
On an open ground more than 100 meters away, three other giant rock deer that had been wandering around let out uneasy low growls after witnessing the horrific scene of their companion being instantly killed.
They stared warily at the silver tin can, then turned and fled the scene in a panic.
Animals' instincts tell them that there is a predator here that is more terrifying than themselves.
"Hey hey hey... why did they all run away?"
Zhong Chengyu waved the shield in his hand with some regret.
"If they ran away, they ran away. Don't bite off more than you can chew."
Jiang Ming sheathed his sword, the sound of metal scraping together crisp and pleasant.
"Clean up this deer and move all the meat back to the second floor. Old Wang, you're strong, help them process the meat."
"Okay!"
Wang Yang agreed without hesitation, picked up his axe, and started working.
At this moment, behind the window gap on the third floor of the dormitory building.
Wei Yuan gripped the window frame tightly, his fingernails digging deep marks into the wood.
His once handsome face was now twisted and deformed by extreme jealousy and fear.
Just ten minutes earlier, he had led a dozen or so people in an attempt to hunt a lone three-eared rabbit.
As a result, he failed to catch the rabbit and instead had two of his men kicked to death. He himself was nearly disemboweled and fled back upstairs in a sorry state.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming, whom he considered a thorn in his side downstairs, single-handedly slaughtered a giant deer ten times more terrifying than a rabbit, as easily as killing a chicken.
"Why should I...?"
Wei Yuan squeezed out these three words through gritted teeth.
Why does he have that kind of armor?
Why does he have such a weapon?
Standing next to Wei Yuan, Zhang Wei's face was even more unsightly.
He watched as Su Xiaoxiao pulled Xu Shishi downstairs to talk to Jiang Ming, and saw the girl's adoring smile that she only had for Jiang Ming. A wave of jealousy washed over him.
"Brother Wei, should we...should we go down too?"
A student council member, his face covered in blood, approached and asked tremblingly, "That deer is so big, they definitely can't finish eating it all. We're going to ask for some, saying it's for our classmates..."
"Snapped!"
Wei Yuan slapped the man across the face with his backhand.
"You go if you want! I don't have the face to go!"
Wei Yuan pointed at the steel figure downstairs wiping its faceplate, his voice trembling, "Didn't you see? That's a ruthless killer! If that sword had landed on someone, would you have been left with a whole corpse?"
The officer covered his face, his eyes wide with disbelief.
But when he looked in the direction Wei Yuan was pointing, he immediately fell silent.
Because he saw that after wiping the mask, the guy actually picked up his sword and chopped off the giant deer's head!
……
The silver-white metal combat boots made a crisp sound as they stepped onto the dusty cement ground.
Jiang Ming flicked his wrist, and the blood droplets on the black iron sword splashed out under the centrifugal force, drawing a dark red semicircle on the ground.
He didn't look back at the trembling college students behind him, but spoke to Wang Yang, who was dismembering the giant deer:
"Peel off the skin completely; this thing looks to have decent defensive capabilities."
Wang Yang chuckled and sliced open the giant deer's belly with his blazing battle axe as easily as cutting tofu.
"Don't worry, Brother Jiang! This leather is even tougher than cowhide. I'll get each of us a set of leather armor later!"
