SEC Chapter 30 Fierce Battle
Chapter 30 Fierce Battle
All the humans in the vicinity felt that the world had turned blood red.
However, from a higher perspective, one would find that the world had not changed; it was just that wisps of bloody mist emanated from the monster in the dojo, entangling everyone present.
Aside from its psychological intimidation effect, the crimson mist didn't have much practical effect. However, as long as the crimson mist continued, those entangled by it would be unable to escape the pursuit of the dojo monsters.
Shen Guoqing and Wu Junyi shouted almost simultaneously, "Attack! Attack hard!! Attack now!!"
To be honest, there was smoke and dust rising in the dojo at that moment, obscuring the surroundings and making it difficult to see clearly, so it wasn't the best time to make a move.
However, if they don't act soon, under the pressure of the monsters in the dojo, those with weaker mental fortitude might run away out of fear at any time. If that happens, it will create a chain reaction, and they will become lambs to the slaughter with no chance of winning.
With the two leaders speaking, the already somewhat bewildered group immediately obeyed the orders.
Pistols, automatic rifles, bows and arrows, crossbows... all kinds of ranged weapons were densely fired at the monsters in the dojo.
Among them are many extraordinary arrows crafted from materials found on monsters.
The moment these ranged attacks approached the dojo monster, a crimson whirlwind suddenly rose up and enveloped the dojo monster. All the bullets and arrows deflected when they came into contact with the crimson whirlwind, and 99% of them lost their accuracy. The remaining ones also lost most of their force under the effect of the crimson whirlwind, and when they hit the dojo monster, they only caused no pain or itch.
The monster in the dojo turned its gaze to the human closest to it and suddenly pounced.
Just as that person's mind went blank, completely unable to react...
"Boom!~"
Another equally ferocious figure suddenly appeared and blocked the attack with his steel fist.
"Waaaaah!~"
A sudden gust of wind arose where the two collided, sending the man who had narrowly escaped death flying several times.
Only then did everyone catch up with the change and see the situation clearly, only to witness... Iron Man battling zombie monsters?!
Amidst the bewildered expressions of most, a few people noticed a subtle change in their expressions. They realized that besides fighting the monsters in the dojo with one hand, Iron Man was actually holding a Tang sword in his other hand!
The Tang sword looked very familiar to them; it was none other than the one in Huang Hong's hand!
Huang Hong's calm voice came from the steel armor, carrying a hint of mechanical clang: "You may all step back. This battle is no longer something you can participate in."
Shen Guoqing and Wu Junyi had complicated expressions. As upper-class elites with means, strength, and resources, they never doubted the power they held.
But after witnessing the overwhelming power of the monsters in the dojo, they had to redefine the individual power in the extraordinary world.
As everyone scrambled to escape to a more distant location, Huang Hong's battle with the monsters of the dojo intensified.
After witnessing the power and skills displayed by the monster from the dojo, Huang Hong realized that this encirclement and killing was meaningless from the start, as the two sides were simply not in the same league.
Since that's the case, and since I definitely need to take action myself, there's no need to keep hiding and let the monster slaughter the humans present.
Therefore, Huang Hong did not hesitate to take action.
The Iron Man armor currently has a battery life of 600 seconds, or ten minutes, but this is based on data from regular combat. If the battle becomes more intense, the energy consumption will increase accordingly, not to mention that using skills also consumes energy.
As for the 1% recharge rate every 36 seconds, it's not entirely useless, but it's still a drop in the ocean.
Therefore, Huang Hong needs to end the battle before the remaining time of the Iron Man armor reaches zero.
"Buzz!~"
The dojo monster didn't even flinch under the impact of the earth's blast; this level of attack couldn't harm it in the slightest. However, the slowing effect of the earth's blast still had some effect on it.
The Tang sword slashed down, its sharp blade first striking the blood-red membrane covering the monster's body, before finally managing to pierce its tough skin and cause some damage.
On the other hand, the monster in the dojo, despite being a mindless zombie, moved with great skill and easily suppressed Huang Hong's max-level military boxing.
In practical terms, if both sides have similar attributes, Huang Hong might only be able to seize an opportunity to counterattack once or twice if the monster in the dojo hits him five or six times.
This was because the dojo monster was somewhat rigid and stiff in its movements. If the dojo monster were alive, Huang Hong believed that he probably wouldn't even be able to touch it before being suppressed to death.
This is a complete domination at the skill level.
Upon seeing the monsters in the dojo, Huang Hong realized that something was wrong with this world. Those mutated zombies, which were clearly much stronger than ordinary zombies, were probably originally martial arts masters who retained some of their strength after being zombified.
The monster in front of us must be the strongest martial arts master in this city.
This level of power already gives the impression of being able to dominate the collective. Even if a modern army comes to encircle and suppress them, they will be easily broken through the encirclement and even hunted down in the opposite direction.
Crimson claws gathered between the monster's fingers in the dojo, tearing down like a ferocious beast.
Huang Hong's eyes narrowed, and he used his energy to gather a layer of earth shield on his arm to withstand the attack.
Although the crimson claws shrank slightly after shattering the earth shield, they still managed to grab at the steel armor's arm with undiminished force, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound.
However, thanks to the earth shield's partial force reduction and the steel armor's inherent defensive properties, the crimson claws did not cause any substantial damage to the steel arm, leaving only three clear scratches.
As the battle has progressed, dozens of similar wounds have appeared on the Iron Man armor.
Although the Iron Man armor seemed to be at a disadvantage throughout the entire battle, Huang Hong became increasingly composed.
The dojo monster made its appearance and shredded three dump trucks to pieces. This method was domineering and cool, but in reality, the dojo monster did not appear as relaxed as he seemed. It can be said that these three attacks consumed a lot of his strength.
The same was true during the subsequent battle with Huang Hong. Although he used the Blood Claw from time to time, Huang Hong could clearly feel that the strength of the Blood Claw was gradually decreasing.
This is a mistake that only monsters in the dojo can make because they lack intelligence and fight on instinct; it's like giving Huang Hong a walkthrough progress bar.
When the monster in the dojo unleashed its crimson claws once more, Huang Hong didn't even use the Earth Shield; he simply blocked the attack with the defense of his Iron Armor alone.
Huang Hong knew that the time for a counterattack had come.
Huang Hong started with Earth Shock, adding a slowing effect. Then he switched from defense to offense, unleashing one powerful punch after another, while his Tang sword left wounds on the monsters in the dojo.
The bloody light on the monster in the dojo gradually disappeared, and its strength and defense began to weaken significantly, and its movements became noticeably sluggish.
Huang Hong glanced at the remaining energy of the Iron Man armor, and even though it was less than one-fifth of its original energy, he felt no ripple of emotion.
He silently activated an item... [Swift Shadow Blade]
Under the warp effect of [Swift Blade], Huang Hong burst forth with dozens of times his original speed, instantly traversing several meters to appear behind the dojo monster.
At the same time, the dojo monster appeared on its neck as if it had been slashed by an invisible blade.
At that speed, the dojo monster didn't even have time to react to what was happening, but Huang Hong was prepared. He turned around and thrust back, his Tang sword piercing directly into the wound on his neck.
