Chapter 161 Romani's Contingency Plan
Mo Ming stood at the edge of the open-air cave, holding the bronze demon-suppressing sword in his hand, his gaze sweeping across the entire battlefield.
The roars of Xiong Da and Xiong Er rose and fell, their huge bodies like moving mountains, charging fiercely towards the enemy, kicking up clouds of dust.
Xiao Jin and Meng Ling were not to be outdone, and they fought against Asya's Azure Python and Romani's Giant Horned Goat respectively. The battles were so fierce that it was hard to breathe.
The entire cave was filled with the sounds of clashing metal, roars, and howling air, as if it were a battle that was about to collapse and the earth was about to split apart.
However, Mo Ming seemed somewhat out of place. He stood to the side, the bronze demon-suppressing sword in his hand radiating a cold light, but he hesitated to make a move.
Watching his pets bravely fight the enemy while he remained a mere bystander, he couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.
"Fine, I can't just let them fight to the death, I have to do something too!" Mo Ming took a deep breath, gripped his sword tightly, and locked his gaze on a group of henchmen not far away.
These minions are ram-headed warriors from the Romani tribe; although they are not very strong, there are quite a few of them.
Armed with crude weapons and wearing ferocious smiles, they were preparing to charge at Xiong Er's flank, clearly intending to launch a sneak attack while Xiong Er was focused on the main battle.
"Xiong Er, watch out for the side!" Mo Ming shouted, and with a stomp of his foot, his figure rushed forward like an arrow.
The group of henchmen were clearly taken aback by Mo Ming's sudden attack. They paused for a moment, but quickly recovered and let out a strange laugh: "A human? You're asking for death!"
The lead goat-headed man swung his iron hammer at Mo Ming. The hammer whistled through the air with tremendous force; if it hit, his bones would likely shatter into dust.
However, Mo Ming remained surprisingly calm. This wasn't his first time fighting orcs, and he was no longer a clueless novice. He slightly shifted his body, easily dodging the hammer's attack, and then his bronze demon-suppressing sword flashed with a cold light.
"Pfft!" Blood splattered, and the man with the cigarette butt didn't even have time to scream before his throat was slit by a sword, and he fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the other goat-headed men roared and swarmed forward, attempting to overwhelm them with numbers.
Mo Ming, however, was not afraid at all. His figure weaved through the enemy ranks. He was already proficient in all the moves of the three-step opening move of the Breaking Formation. His sword was as precise and deadly as a venomous snake. Every move he made could cause different degrees of damage to the enemy.
"Whoosh—" A henchman brandished a spear and thrust it at Mo Ming's back, but Mo Ming seemed to have eyes; he stomped his foot and leaped forward, dodging the spear's attack. Then, he swung his sword backhand and pierced the henchman's chest.
"These guys may outnumber us, but they're too clumsy!" Mo Ming sneered inwardly, but his sword didn't falter at all. His movements became increasingly fluid, each swing of the sword carrying a graceful, flowing beauty.
However, Mo Ming didn't notice that in the corner behind him, a short henchman was quietly drawing a bow. A black arrow was nocked on the bow, its arrowhead gleaming eerily, clearly poisoned.
"Die, human!" The henchman grinned and released the bowstring.
The arrow, like a black lightning bolt, hurtled straight towards Mo Ming's back. At that critical moment, a roar came from afar, followed by a massive figure charging in and sending the henchman flying.
"Xiong Er!" Mo Ming turned around and saw that it was Xiong Er who had saved his life.
Xiong Er let out a low growl, his eyes filled with concern.
Seeing this, Romani's eyes grew even more sinister. "So close to killing him, what a pity..."
Before it could finish speaking, Xiong Er charged at it again and started fighting with it, basically dominating Romani.
Romani, with his familiarity with the terrain and agile movements, was able to temporarily hold his own against Xiong Er.
Mo Ming turned around, his gaze fixed intently on the remaining henchmen. These henchmen were clearly terrified; their faces were pale, and they retreated hastily.
"Do you think you can escape?" Mo Ming snorted coldly, stomped his foot, and rushed out again.
The battle ended quickly. The henchmen were no match for Mo Ming, and he slaughtered them one by one. Mo Ming stood amidst the corpses, exhaled a long breath, and then looked up at the distant battlefield.
Xiong Da was locked in combat with Asya. Black energy reappeared on Asya's body, clearly indicating that he had used the energy he obtained from the Buddha of Killing Hearts statue to greatly enhance his power.
However, he was still unilaterally crushed by Xiong Da. Xiong Da didn't even need to transform into his strongest form; his Golden Rock Heavy Fist and Heavy Rock Talent alone were enough to suppress Asya.
The enormous azure-scaled python resembled a steel dragon, its scales gleaming coldly in the sunlight. Seeing its master being suppressed, it used its iron tail to deflect Xiao Jin's iron claws, then crushed Xiong Da with its massive body.
Even if it's two against one, what does Xiong Da have to fear!
The enormous, golden claw slammed down on the Azure Scale Python, producing a dull thud. However, the python's scales were extremely hard, leaving only a shallow mark.
"Roar—" The Azure Scaled Python roared angrily, its tail whipping out like a giant whip, lashing fiercely at Xiong Da. Although Xiong Da was enormous, it was extremely agile. It sidestepped the attack, then opened its blood-red maw and bit down hard on the Azure Scaled Python's neck.
Seeing this, Asya also picked up his axe and attacked, forcing Xiong Da to release the Azure Python. However, Xiao Jin then joined the battle again, and the situation turned one-sided once more.
Meanwhile, the battle between Dream Spirit and the Giant Horned Goat has also reached a fever pitch.
Each charge of the giant horned goat carried astonishing force, even cracking the ground beneath its hooves. Dream Spirit, however, withstood each impact thanks to its exceptionally high defense, then channeled its spiritual energy into its claws and fins to launch a counterattack.
Mo Ming watched his pets fight fiercely, his heart filled with pride. He took a deep breath, gripped the bronze demon-suppressing sword in his hand, and looked for an opportunity to join the torrent of battle.
"Asya, Romani, you're doomed to lose this battle!" he murmured, his sword flashing with a dazzling light as it hurtled towards Asya.
But at this moment, more and more sheep-headed people heard the commotion and rushed over, so Mo Ming had no choice but to change direction and start playing low-level games again.
The battle continues, blood and sweat mingle, and the outcome remains uncertain, but Mo Ming and his pets' fighting spirit burns like a raging fire, growing ever stronger. This battle is destined to be the most unforgettable of their lives!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Romani suddenly took out a few pills from his pocket and threw them to Asya and his own beasts while he was dealing with Xiong Er.
He shouted, "Quickly, eat it!"
