Chapter 198: Do You Know What “Subtlety” is?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Ming had never believed that violence was the best way to solve problems.

But others did not think the same way.

In the Black Mist Zone, many people did not think so.

Lu Ming was no saint, and he didn’t like non-violent resistance. When the saber of an evil person was at his throat, Lu Ming had no choice but to raise his fists to protect his own life!

There was no longer any room for negotiation.

In front of him, those dual sabers were getting closer, even blowing Lu Ming’s hair out of place.

In front of him, malice spewed out of the mantis-man’s face. There was visible evil in the tyranny!

“What a shame…”

A faint voice came from Lu Ming’s mouth.

It was a pity his peaceful life had been disrupted.

It was a pity he could only use violence to protect his safety and dignity!

It was a pity he had no choice but to fight.

He took a step forward, as if he were willingly offering himself under the blades.

This stunned the mantis-man at first, and then he became even more cruelly excited!

As a Level Four Physique Realm expert, he was confident that he could behead this weakling in front of him with a single slas.h.!.+

“Die!”

A malicious voice came from the mantis-man’s mouth.

He seemed to have already imagined the beautiful scene of blood gus.h.i.+ng and a giant head rising into the air!

Until…

A loud “thud” broke all the beautiful fantasies of the mantis-man.

One could see his saber smas.h.i.+ng into Lu Ming’s neck.

However, the result of the attack was not a cut on Lu Ming’s skin; instead, it caused the mantis-man’s hand to split open, and his body was pushed continuously back!

The malice in his eyes instantly turned into confusion.

He could not understand why, as a Level Four Physique Realm expert, his full-force strike would return empty-handed.

Lu Ming had an explanation for this.

In his Self-Limitation state, his basic physical fitness was between Level three and Level Four of the Physique Realm, which made him weaker than this mantis-man by a considerable margin.

But the terrifying part was Lu Ming’s subtle-level Source Power Armor!

Every cell in Lu Ming’s body was protected by the Source Power Armor at all times.

An a.n.a.logy could be made.

A Perfect-Level Source Power Armor was like a single layer of steel plate.

Then, a Subtle-Level Source Power Armor was the stacking of countless layers of steel plates – it increased defense capabilities many times over!

In fact, even Lu Ming himself could not understand the limits of the Subtle-Level Source Power Armor.

Similar to the Source Power Armor, there was also the Subtle-Level Explosive Fist!

“It’s my turn!”

Lu Ming said to the somewhat dumbfounded mantis-man.

This time, he spoke the half-baked common language of the Black Mist Zone.

“Wait…”

The mantis-man acutely sensed that the situation was not good and hurriedly opened his mouth to stall for time.

However, Lu Ming did not give him the chance.

Since he had already decided to attack, he had to kill!

To put it bluntly, Lu Ming could not rest until all the dangers were completely eliminated today!

He bent down and pulled his arm!

Refinement Realm Explosive Fist, activate!

In an instant, there was a loud “boom.”

A cylindrical punch force shot out like a cannonball!

This punch force looked very strange because it seemed to have a mind of its own. Sometimes, it would stop beside Lu Ming and condense without dissipating. Sometimes, it would sway, as if it wanted to attack the mantis-man.

Although he could not understand Lu Ming’s moves, the mantis-man already knew that the man in front of him was definitely not as simple as his aura showed.

He slowly retreated with the cracked double sabers until Lu Ming bent down and punched again, activating the second fist force.

He stopped retreating.

It was not because he was shocked by Lu Ming’s strength—he actually did not understand Lu Ming’s strength.

It was only because reinforcements had arrived!

At the stairs, there was a dense sound of footsteps, like distant thunder.

Soon, three Physique Realm experts plus more than ten Mortal Realm superhumans rushed up in a chaotic manner. They immediately saw Lu Ming confronting the mantis-man and the fist force dragons surrounding Lu Ming.

“Grimm, what’s going on?”

The mantis-man named Grimm only shook his head, “I’m not sure. This guy is a little strange.”

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Ming had already thrown another punch.

So, there were now as many as three fist force dragons swirling around Lu Ming.

Then, Lu Ming threw another punch…

He continued to acc.u.mulate fist force dragons.

The people from the Divine Dao Alliance did not dare to act rashly. They just observed Lu Ming, seemingly trying to find his weaknesses.

Until explosions and battle cries came from below.

It was the other members of the Divine Dao Alliance who had already found the Black Feather Tribe members and engaged them in battle.

Apelo had brought only a few Black Feather Tribe members with him to begin with, and those who could fight had long died in the previous conflicts. The three Black Feather people who had taken refuge in the building were no match for the Divine Dao Alliance’s siege.

In less than a minute, the sounds of battle had already subsided. Soon, more members from the Divine Dao Alliance arrived and surrounded Lu Ming in the center.

At this moment, the fist force dragons swirling around Lu Ming had multiplied beyond counting!

Perhaps thinking that their side was strong enough and not being able to understand Lu Ming’s martial arts techniques, the leaders of the Divine Dao Alliance, at Level 7 of the Physique Realm did not see Lu Ming as a significant threat. They glanced at Lu Ming from the corner of their eyes while looking at their comrades.

“Have you found it?”

“We found it. We’ve already killed everyone except this one in front of us.”

The leader immediately sneered, “Then what are we waiting for?!”

He had to admit that the person in front of him was indeed a little demonic.

But in the face of absolute power, all his clever tricks were useless!

There were more than ten Physique Realm experts of the Divine Dao Alliance here. As long as that man was not a Spirit Realm expert, it was absolutely impossible for their side to fail!

Then was he a Spirit Realm expert?

Obviously not!

Then, with a wave of his hand, the leader commanded.

Endless killing intent burst forth and swept towards Lu Ming from all directions.

At this moment, Lu Ming finally raised his head and looked at the fist force dragons beside him.

“It’s about time…”

He muttered.

In the next second, following Lu Ming’s will, the countless fist force dragons roared and rushed in all directions!

The people of the Divine Dao Alliance actually could not understand what those fist force dragons beside Lu Ming were.

When the fist force dragons brazenly rushed towards them, they did not take these things seriously.

In their opinion, these things might be similar to the materialization of some kind of energy, no different from common energy bombs.

Therefore, they naturally thought that these things were not difficult to deal with.

Some Physique Realm experts erected an energy barrier and blocked the path of the fist force. There were even some Physique Realm experts who actually did not care about the fist force dragon that was flying towards them. They were prepared to resist it with their bodies and rush to Lu Ming’s side as soon as possible to weigh Lu Ming’s strength.

Whether it was defense or disregard, it was not out of Lu Ming’s expectations.

He simply watched everything happening around with a cold gaze, his expression remaining completely calm.

Because he only needed to understand one thing.

That was, when they had given him so much time to unleash so many micro-level explosive punches, the outcome of this battle had already been sealed!

When the first fist force dragon collided with the enemy, everything had already ended.

The leader charged at the forefront.

As the strongest person in the group, at level seven of the Physique Realm, this man had risen to prominence in the Divine Dao Gang because of his strength and his fearless approach to combat.

He was nicknamed “Blood Fury.”

It meant that once a fight broke out, he entered a state of bloodthirstiness, vowing not to stop until he had torn his enemies to pieces!

His combat style also seemed somewhat reckless—he did not care at all about the fist force dragons rus.h.i.+ng towards him; he intended to use his body and strength to crush them and quickly squeeze the life out of Lu Ming!

When the fist force dragons collided with Blood Fury, Blood Fury was prepared to withstand the impact.

However, the logic of micro-level explosive punches was completely different from what Blood Fury had imagined!

Explosive Punch was a low-level but very lethal fist technique.

When punching, the explosive punches would ignite the mystery factors in the air and cause violent explosions!

However, after the Explosive Punches advanced to the microscopic level, their logic underwent a tremendous change.

The explosions became more focused, more concealed…

Or it could be said that the explosion of the explosive punch had evolved into annihilation at the microscopic level!

When the fist force dragon directly collided with Blood Fury, there was none of the expected impact or explosion.

The fist force simply penetrated Blood Fury’s chest without any resistance and emerged from behind him.

What it left on Blood Fury was a smooth transparent hole…

Blood Fury’s body instantly froze in place.

He slowly lowered his head to look at his chest.

There, on the edges of the wound on his chest, the strong and resilient muscles had turned into crystallized carbon, resembling pure black crystals.

The madness on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by confusion and deep fear.

This was because the fist force dragon had slowly circled around to wrap around Blood Fury’s neck…

Yes, it pierced through its chest without wasting much of the strength of the fist force dragon.

It even had enough strength, under Lu Ming’s control, to deliver a finis.h.i.+ng blow to Blood Fury.

In just a twist and turn, the renowned Blood Fury lost his head…

He was dead.

Swiftly and decisively!

Blood Fury’s death, like a mute b.u.t.ton, silenced all the sounds in the entire arena.

A moment later, Lu Ming nodded slightly, very satisfied with the power of the Refinement Realm Explosive Fist.

The atmosphere among the Divine Dao Alliance members instantly plummeted to freezing point!

Because after killing Blood Fury, the fist force dragon with a sweep of its tail came charging at the others.

Accompanying it were countless fist force dragons!

Just as everyone from the Divine Dao Alliance was still frozen, the fist force dragons suddenly accelerated and charged towards everyone!

I gave you a chance earlier, but you didn’t want to talk to me.

Now, Lu Ming did not see the need to talk to them about trivial matters anymore…

Like a gentle breeze pa.s.sing by.

This was the wind brought about by the fist force dragons as they swayed.

When the fist force dragons killed, there was no sound or light this was exactly the effect Lu Ming wanted.

Quietly killing, without causing too much commotion. Otherwise, it would be bad if he attracted more enemies.

In just three seconds, the fist force dragon group swept away everything in sight! Then, the sounds of severed limbs and arms falling to the ground continued.

These were the sounds of dismemberment.

Looking at the wiped out enemies, Lu Ming put his hands in his pockets and nodded slightly.

“This is the power of the micro-level, something you all don’t understand…”

After muttering in a low voice, the fist force dragons still did not dissipate but returned to Lu Ming’s side.

They stuck their heads out one by one and looked behind Lu Ming. Heg also turned around and looked behind him.

“Do you understand?”

As soon as he asked this, he saw the light distorted 20 meters behind him. Soon, a mysterious person in a hood appeared out of thin air in the direction Lu Ming was looking at.

The mysterious person glanced at Lu Ming and then at the fist force dragons swirling around him.

Under the hood, his face revealed a slightly troubled smile.

As if he was vexed that he had been discovered by Lu Ming.

After some thought, this person took off his hood and scratched his silver hair.

“I know a thing or two…”

With that said, this person seemed to have thought of something and hastily waved his hand and added,

“Oh right, let me make it clear first. I’m not with them, and 1 don’t have any ill intentions towards you..”
