Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 388: Legend (Part 1)


"Not even a demigod, yet so arrogant!"

Chen Shouyi was about to retort, but Qin Liuyuan beside him had already drawn the string and released the arrow with a "boom," shooting it out.

His war bow was still a martial artist-level war bow, but its power was considerable, not much less than a 20mm caliber cannon shell, even a demigod getting hit would have their skin broken.

However, this barbarian didn't even dodge, a cruel smile on his lips, until the arrow was right in front of him, he suddenly reached out, grabbed the arrow, and the impact pushed him back a step, with a dull thud, the granite floor beneath his feet cracked like a biscuit.

"Weak humans!" The barbarian shook his head disdainfully and casually tossed the arrow aside: "If that's all you got, then just go to..."

Before he finished speaking, his expression changed, another arrow, almost twice as fast, whistled toward him, leaving a long trail in the air, and he quickly sidestepped to avoid it.

Hardly dodging, yet another arrow shot through the air, rapidly enlarging before his eyes, narrowly twisting his waist to avoid it at the last moment.

The arrows kept coming, like a machine gun, shooting rapidly one after another.

Beside him, Qin Liuyuan was shocked watching this scene, nearly forgetting to shoot.

The gap was so big!

The barbarian's figure was a blur, his clothes were torn apart by the wind force of the arrows passing by at high speed.

Chen Shouyi exhausted two quivers of arrows, shooting with gusto, thoroughly enjoying it, for he never had such a good target in practice, and it was real combat.

The only pity was, none hit the mark.

Everyone looked despairing, the hall was silent, with only heavy breathing and low sobs audible.

"Why weren't more arrows prepared?" The provincial high official asked sternly.

"I sent a box of five hundred, but maybe the chief advisor didn't have time to load the arrows!" Zhao Shuping quickly replied.

The barbarian, seeing the rain of arrows cease, finally breathed a sigh of relief; now his entire skin was red, steam billowed around him, emitting scorching heat, an invisible energy pervaded around him, and countless rubble underfoot trembled violently, even floating up.

Although another human continued shooting arrows, compared to this target, the threat was negligible; he casually brushed an arrow aside. A ferocious look flashed on his once-calm face:

"This level is far from enough!"

Then he suddenly stomped the ground, his body rushing towards the building entrance.

Qin Liuyuan's face changed dramatically, attempting to intercept, but he easily dodged at high speed.

Chen Shouyi expressionlessly discarded the war bow, his body already expanding rapidly.

His clothes were quickly torn apart, fabric strips fluttering down, he drew his sword, watching the rapidly enlarging figure, and instead of retreating, he rushed forward.

The barbarian watched the opponent's enlarging body, his expression slightly changing, but he quickly calmed down, his heart like a mirror lake.

In the Tam World, large-sized creatures were never lacking, though for him, as a legendary strongman, most were merely synonymous with clumsiness.

Even giants many times his size, he had slain, requiring only effort and care.

As their gazes locked, the next moment, large and small figures rapidly approached.

As the running barbarian's body flickered, he nimbly dodged the opponent's terrifying sword, his own long sword shooting towards Chen Shouyi's abdomen like lightning.

Before contact, Chen Shouyi's abdominal muscles reacted by tensing, gooseflesh covering his skin.

The sword struggled to penetrate less than three inches, then the blade was grabbed by an ironclad giant hand and twisted into a twist, at the same time, a knee slammed towards his chest.

Transformed, his power reaching 21 points, it was like an irresistible force.

The air burst apart in layers, generating an invisible shockwave.

Facing the formidable power, the barbarian's face changed instantly, in a flash he released the sword hilt, his body following the air blast evaded Chen Shouyi's knee strike like a phantom, as the opponent's leg exhausted, then suddenly stepping forward, throwing a punch, twisting his body, the force surged in stages, tens of tons of force struck Chen Shouyi's abdomen heavily.

It exploded like a bomb, the shredded fabric hanging from his body instantly torn apart.

With a "boom."

Chen Shouyi was swiftly sent flying back over ten meters by the force, the granite floor beneath him cracking as if stepping on a landmine, his intestines felt knotted up, the pain dyed his eyes with bloodshot veins.

Chen Shouyi's expression became slightly serious, not because of the strength of that punch, nor the fearsome reflexes.

In fact, his combat strength was only slightly stronger in his giant transformation state, not yet to the point of overwhelming.

What really caught his attention was that each of the opponent's attacks carried a strange energy, penetrating his abdomen through the punches and long sword, after the sharp pain, it immediately became somewhat numb, his muscles less responsive.

Both were on the brink of clash.

The spectators in the distance could only see two afterimages approaching, then Chen Shouyi swiftly retreating, causing them to be greatly shocked.

Desperation filled Qin Liuyuan's eyes as he quickly shot arrow after arrow.

If he had known it would come to this, he would have done anything to prevent Chen Shouyi's risky proposal.

The Barbarian didn't even look, casually swatting away arrows with his palm, striding towards Chen Shouyi.

In his indifferent eyes, a hint of pity emerged: "I didn't expect that among the weak humans, there would be a strong contender comparable to legendary power. Too bad you encountered me, a desecrator; your head is indeed valuable!"

"Is it?" Chen Shouyi sneered.

The battle had just begun.

He stomped his foot, and the two closed in once more, engaging in a frenzied fight. The ground shattered like tofu, creating deep pits, dust flying high, and debris scattering like bullets.

Even Qin Liuyuan could only see two blurry moving figures, let alone the ordinary people watching in the hall.

"Boom!"

A flagpole in the square.

It instantly broke, not even hitting the ground.

And the two figures were already dozens of meters away.

The opponent's furious energy repeatedly struck Chen Shouyi's body, making him feel his body beginning to stiffen.

His momentary carelessness allowed the opponent to circle behind him; a foot like a sharp cone viciously hit his spine. With a groan, his bones cracked, and his waist bent.

Feeling the fierce wind behind him, Chen Shouyi didn't turn back; in a split second, he rolled sideways, simultaneously sweeping his foot backwards. The opponent dodged quickly, and he took the opportunity to stand up.

Initially, he wanted to save some faith value and solve it with skill, but seeing it now, without using it, he might very well lose.

He summoned a thought.

The faith value rapidly burned.

The wind began to slow down; everything around turned quiet, carrying an ethereal solitude as countless information flooded into his mind with his gaze.

He slightly curled his lips, a confident glow on his face.

Everything was under control.

The Barbarian noticed Chen Shouyi's strange state, instinctively feeling something was off, but it was too late to think much; he stomped his foot, closing the gap instantly.

However, in Chen Shouyi's eyes, this speed was too slow.

He even had time to closely observe the swirling energy on the Barbarian's body and the sharp, cold gaze.

The next moment, the Barbarian's body swayed, deftly maneuvering to his side, with an elbow fiercely striking at his waist.

Then, it was firmly blocked by a hand that had been ready!

With a snap, the air exploded; taking advantage of his unstable form, Chen Shouyi seized the chance, twisting his waist for a punch that exceeded hundreds of tons in force, heavily hitting his chest.

His chest instantly collapsed with a series of dense bone-cracking sounds, blood splattering from his mouth, his body flying straight out.

In reality, even in an ultra-god state, his fully liberated speed at 17.7 agility was still somewhat inferior to this powerful Barbarian, but the predictive capabilities under thrice-thought speed made up for it completely.

Every move and action of the opponent became slow and clear in his eyes; a shoulder twitch, a foot lift, and he knew the next action — everything was under control.

The Barbarian's body had only flown two meters, his face just showing pain and despair.

A large hand already grasped his foot, then both hands held tight, disregarding his desperate struggle, swinging and slamming hard onto the ground.

21 points of strength, representing dual-arm force roughly equivalent to 8.65 tons, combined with speed, entirely surpassing hundreds of tons of impact.

"Boom!"

The granite within a dozen meters shattered instantaneously.

Amidst swirling dust, a crater vaguely shaped like a human appeared on the ground; the Barbarian had turned into a bloody mess. Chen Shouyi glanced at the Barbarian, lying like a dead dog, stepped forward and stomped down on his head heavily.

With a thud, the head instantly burst.

This powerful Barbarian resembled a frog cut off from its head, left with severe tremors and twitching.
