Chapter 145 - 144: [Whoever Backs Down First Is a Loser!]

Chapter 145: Chapter 144: [Whoever Backs Down First Is a Loser!]

"BOOM!" He Xiaotian’s body swelled, his muscles bulging as he smashed headfirst through the iron door and charged inside.

’My blood is boiling! If I keep peeking, I won’t be able to hold back this primordial power inside me.’

’Might as well just show myself and kill them all!’

Besides, it looked like this announcer was the mastermind behind it all.

’Even if she isn’t, she’s at least an elite mob. I’ll get more Experience Points for killing her.’

"AAH!"

The group of women instantly fell into a panic, each grabbing clothes to cover themselves.

But then a thought occurred to them. They were just aberrations wearing human skin. What was there to hide?

And so, the clothes fell away again.

He Xiaotian felt the hot trickle in his nostrils was getting a little hard to control.

"HAH!"

With a thunderous shout, a golden lion leaped forth from behind He Xiaotian.

A violent shockwave swept through the area, instantly sending the front row of women flying.

Those behind them were unharmed, but their minds and courage were shaken to varying degrees.

"Fierce Sun Shocks the Heavens!"

He Xiaotian’s mind cleared considerably as his lust was suppressed by a Zen-like focus. A crimson sun, the size of a human head, then appeared behind him.

The temperature on the bottom deck skyrocketed. Even the blood in the pool began to evaporate.

"AHHH—"

On the women closest to him, the human skins actually began to melt away, revealing the white bones hidden beneath.

"Thunderous Divine Palm!"

A Fireball the size of a human head appeared in his right hand, radiating an incredibly scorching heat.

"Scorching Sun Comet!"

"WHOOSH!"

The Fireball in He Xiaotian’s hand shot out.

Like a comet, it left a crimson line of fire in the air as it streaked forward and blasted the ship’s hull to pieces.

"RUMBLE!"

Smoke billowed and splinters flew.

Torrents of water instantly poured in.

Every last one of the white-boned evil spirits in the way exploded and died.

[DING! You have killed a White Bone Aberration. You have gained 100 Experience Points.]

[DING! You have killed...]

The notifications in the upper left of his vision scrolled by endlessly.

He Xiaotian grinned, smiling happily.

"Kill him!" The announcer’s eyes looked ready to pop from their sockets. Only a few short seconds had passed since this uninvited guest appeared and attacked. Yet, in the blink of an eye, he had already killed dozens of her subordinates.

Those human skins, in particular, had been purchased at great cost from the Jealous.

For humanoid aberrations and evil spirits, these things were a natural protective layer.

Not only did they prevent erosion from the yang energy of daylight, but they also perfectly concealed their yin energy, making it convenient to walk in the mortal world.

The loss of every single one felt like a knife to her heart.

And now, a good portion of them were gone in a single encounter.

If her true form wasn’t a skeleton, she probably would have coughed up three liters of blood.

He Xiaotian looked at the pile of skeletons charging toward him and breathed a sigh of relief.

’The sight is pretty creepy, but at least it’s better than a crowd of pale, slender thighs, right?’

’After all, a guy like me is still a hot-blooded young man.’

"Metal-Melting Flame!"

Following his roar, cyan flames instantly engulfed his body, burning fiercely.

The White Bone Aberrations that entered a radius of several meters around him all began to scream at almost the same time.

Before the announcer’s terrified eyes, their bones melted into liquid.

"I’ll fight you to the death!"

She was the only one present who was unaffected.

Paired with her beautiful human skin, she exuded an indescribable charm.

Too bad that was completely useless in He Xiaotian’s eyes.

’The only good aberration is a dead one, so please, just go die!’

He was just pondering whether to send her on her way with a palm strike or pull out his Big Hammer to give her a more dignified death.

But the announcer made her move—she turned and fled.

"?!"

’Didn’t you just say you were going to fight me to the death?’

’Are even aberrations using tactics these days?’

He Xiaotian had punched a hole through the ancient, giant ship. It was bound to sink.

Besides, the power gap between them was completely lopsided. Even an idiot could see that.

’Fight to the death?’

’Not a chance.’

"WHOOSH!"

Pulling an iron hammer from his storage space, He Xiaotian raised his arm and threw it.

The sound of it tearing through the air had barely reached the announcer’s ears...

...when the enormous, spike-covered great hammer was already upon her, smashing her viciously into the floorboards.

"BOOM!!"

A direct hit. Clean and decisive.

All the remaining White Bone Aberrations instantly stopped in their tracks, standing frozen on the spot.

They were all skeletons. Otherwise, a synchronized GULP of swallowed saliva would have echoed across the bottom deck.

"What’s this blood pool for? I doubt it’s just for bathing, is it?" He Xiaotian walked over, picked up the iron hammer embedded in the floor, and asked with a nonchalant air.

The group of skeletons trembled in fear.

If they weren’t afraid of drawing his attention and becoming the next pile of bone dust, they would have been huddling together for comfort.

"Is no one going to talk?"

"CLACK CLACK CLACK..."

He Xiaotian: "..."

He almost forgot. Without their human skins, these "women" were just skeletons.

’Trying to make them talk really is asking a bit much of an aberration.’

Before he could make his next move, a commotion broke out among the skeletons, and a handmaiden still wearing human skin was pushed forward.

"???"

This act reminded him of a certain rather unfriendly dish.

They say that whenever a chef goes to pick out the ’raw ingredients’, the group of ’ingredients’ will push out the fattest among them to be sacrificed.

On a related note, where there is no trade, there is no slaughter.

"The blood pool... inside the blood pool... th-there... there is... is a... a bea—"

Before she could finish, BANG.

The woman’s head exploded. She collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Since he started practicing martial arts, He Xiaotian’s senses had become incredibly sharp.

He had just caught a fleeting glimpse of a streak of bloodlight, like a flash in a movie.

It had struck the handmaiden’s forehead in a single blow, causing her head to shatter.

He frowned. ’This thing is terrifying. It won’t be easy to deal with.’

The speed of that bloodlight was simply too fast.

Even he would probably not be able to dodge it.

"Next!" a cold voice rang out, making every White Bone Aberration present shiver.

’So you want to play the killing game, huh?’

’Since you didn’t show yourself right away, you must be inconvenienced somehow. Otherwise, you’d have come out to deal with Laozi already.’

’In that case, let’s see just how many you can kill.’

’If we speak, the bloodlight will kill us. If we don’t, the great hammer in the big man’s hands will surely show no mercy. We’re caught between a rock and a hard place. What kind of shitty luck is this? Why did we have to get stuck with it!’

"You. Speak."

He Xiaotian pointed casually at a handmaiden cowering in the back, trying to hide.

The aberration tried to shrink back, but her companions around her immediately held her up and pushed her out.

"I..."

"BANG!"

The bloodlight flashed, and another one collapsed.

And so, the scene that followed was a direct confrontation between the two of them.

"You, come out."

"BANG!"

A head exploded. Another White Bone Aberration had fallen victim to the vicious bloodlight.

"You, come out."

"BANG!"

He Xiaotian crossed his arms, a look of indifference on his face.

’Let’s just drag this out!’

’The ship’s going to sink soon anyway, and I’ve got ten Water-Repelling Talismans to fall back on.’

’Besides, I’m not the one wasting energy here.’

’Laozi is waiting for you. Don’t you dare stop. Whoever chickens out first is a little bitch!!’
