Chapter 118: Sword Technique of Light

"This is the oppressive aura of the Sword King?"

At this moment, Li Meng finally understood that compared to overwhelming skills, even the highest attributes on the panel were useless garbage.

Even with ten thousand defense attributes, he couldn't block that strike.

Sliding on the icy surface for dozens of meters, Li Meng rolled and got back on his feet.

At the moment he stood up, Li Meng’s figure flashed.

A blast of air exploded outward, sweeping across the surroundings.

Li Meng dashed wildly across the icy surface, charging toward Carlos.

"Light Sword: Slash!"

Carlos, standing on the ice block, had already given up on close combat with the Goblin Warrior.

Through the earlier battle, Carlos deeply understood that engaging in melee with this Goblin Warrior would yield no advantage.

It wasn’t because he wasn’t strong enough.

But because this Goblin Warrior could also use ice magic.

Additionally, his strength was far inferior to that of the Goblin Warrior.

Carlos could only resort to long-range sword techniques that consumed massive amounts of magic power.

Carlos raised his greatsword and swung it forward.

A blade of light shot out once more.

"Hah!"

At the instant Carlos swung his sword, Li Meng let out a roar while sprinting on the ice.

Frost mist surged in front of him, sweeping across the icy surface.

"Crack!"

The ice surface trembled violently.

Massive ice walls rose abruptly.

One, two, three!

Three towering and thick ice walls stood in front of Li Meng.

Each ice wall was no less than fifty meters high.

The thickness was over five meters.

The immense weight caused the ice surface to sink downward.

At the moment the ice walls rose, the light blade streaked through the air.

"Boom!"

The first ice wall shattered.

The light blade, losing no momentum, slammed into the second ice wall.

After breaking through the second ice wall, the light blade finally dissipated.

Seeing that the human’s attack was blocked, Li Meng leapt high while sprinting on the ice.

Soaring dozens of meters, he kicked the ice wall.

"Crack!"

The ice wall was uprooted.

With a single kick, he sent the massive ice wall flying.

The ice wall spun through the air, crashing toward Carlos.

"Light Sword: Sky Splitting Slash!"

Carlos raised his greatsword once again.

Holy light magic erupted forth.

The phantom of a hundred-meter-long light sword appeared, slashing down at the incoming ice wall.

"Boom!"

The gigantic ice wall was cleaved in two.

The light sword’s momentum didn’t wane, slamming into the icy surface.

A massive section of the ice shattered instantly.

Two columns of water mixed with shards of ice shot skyward.

On the river surface, two huge waves surged in opposite directions.

"Human, I’m right here! Wahaha!"

Behind a massive ice block, Li Meng lay prone.

The ice block was falling toward the river surface near Carlos.

Lying on the ice block, Li Meng let out a hearty laugh.

He leapt up, like an arrow, straight toward Carlos.

This scene made Carlos sneer with contempt.

"Foolish!"

"Light Sword: Strike!"

Carlos swung his sword in one strike, the greatsword turning into light and heading straight for Li Meng’s chest.

"Whoosh!"

In mid-air with nowhere to dodge, Li Meng couldn’t avoid it.

The light-formed greatsword pierced through Li Meng’s chest.

"Gotcha!"

Despite the intense pain, Li Meng grinned ferociously and punched Carlos in the face.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion echoed.

The icy island beneath their feet shattered, sending both of them plunging into the river.

A massive column of water shot skyward.

Ice rain began to fall from the sky.

The battle between the two seemed long.

But in reality, it lasted only three minutes.

At the same time, along the two-kilometer-long river battlefield—

Ogres had broken through the defenses of adventurers and human soldiers.

They charged into the ships like heavy tanks.

Their spiked clubs tore apart the ship structures.

The priests on the decks tried to escape but found themselves targeted.

The massive spiked clubs crushed them amidst their terrified screams.

One strike left nothing behind but a bloody mess.

On the icy surface, humans and Goblins were locked in fierce combat.

Arrows rained from the sky, and blades clashed on the ice.

The shouts of humans and the cries of Goblins echoed together.

Human soldiers continuously fell.

At the same time, numerous Goblins were killed by humans.

"Get lost, you monsters that crawled out of Ground Mouse bellies!"

A knight adventurer roared furiously.

He dashed forward, using his shield to deflect a Goblin’s thrusting spear.

With a swing of his sword, he struck the Goblin’s shoulder.

The Goblin’s head flew off.

Turning swiftly, he bashed another Goblin away with his shield.

A whistling sound approached.

He stepped back, raising his shield in defense.

Several crossbow bolts clanged against the shield.

The bolts didn’t penetrate but were deflected.

"Wahhh!"

Over a dozen Goblins roared as they charged toward him.

The adventurer knight showed no fear.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, thunder roared in the sky.

A series of purple lightning bolts struck down, hitting the surrounding Goblins.

One after another, Goblins fell to the ground, their bodies smoking.

Behind the adventurer knight stood a robed adventurer mage.

Holding a staff, he sneered at the Goblins.

His chants shifted between high and low tones.

Each swing of his staff brought a clap of thunder.

"Nice one, Ace!"

The mage’s support eased the knight’s pressure.

He turned to praise the mage.

"Whoosh!"

But at that moment, another whistling sound approached.

"Not good!"

The knight sensed danger.

His expression changed as he rushed toward the mage.

But it was too late. The battlefield allowed no moment of distraction.

"Ah!"

A scream echoed.

The mage, unable to cast a defensive spell in time, was riddled with arrows.

One crossbow bolt pierced his forehead, silencing him instantly.

His face filled with disbelief as he fell backward onto the ice.

He never expected to die at the hands of Goblins.

"Ace!"

The mage’s death caused the surrounding adventurers to cry out in shock.

"Captain, what are you doing?"

A warrior wielding a large axe shouted angrily, chopping down a Goblin.

The knight seemed disoriented, shaking slightly.

"Captain, watch out!"

A Goblin Warrior charged toward the knight.

"Haha!"

The Goblin Warrior grinned viciously.

Swinging a spiked club, he struck the knight’s shoulder.

"Ah!"

The knight screamed in agony, the impact knocking him to the ground.

The surrounding large Goblins wielding spiked clubs swarmed him.

They raised their weapons, repeatedly smashing them into the knight’s body.

The knight screamed continuously as his face was beaten into a bloody pulp.

Soon, the screams stopped.

"Captain!"

The adventurer warrior roared in fury.

He charged madly toward his fallen captain.

But dozens of Goblins surrounded him.

Facing the encroaching Goblins, the warrior swung his large axe in wide arcs.

The approaching Goblins were reduced to mangled bodies.
