C52 Orc Solo!
Due to Little Purple's sudden and outright strange arrival, all the orcs focused on the purple dum-dum pig; Zhan Tinaming used this as an opportunity to rush forward.
Nine Dragons Step!
Swish!
He was quick as lightning and silent like the wind.
Swish, swish, swish...
Swish, swish, swish...
As Zhan Tianming charged forward, more than ten flying rocks flew out from his hands. Strangely, none of them were aimed at the orcs; instead, they flew in another direction.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
Bang! Bang! Bang...
The flying rocks hit a nearby tree and filled the forest with clattering noises.
Immediately, the seven orcs put their guards up.
All of them picked their maces and got ready.
Suddenly!
Zhan Tianming's figure flashed, and he arrived before them.
"Proud Dragon Repents!"
"Ding dong! You've triggered the garroting effect."
BOOM!
The palm strike strengthened with the Ice Attribute struck one of the orcs squarely.
With an audible whooshing sound, the orc was sent flying.
A five-figure damage value appeared above the orc's head, reducing its HP by half.
Zhan Tianming did not stop at all and stepped forward.
This time, instead of attacking, he dodged to the side.
Rumble...
Rumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moments later, two clubs riddled with spikes struck the spot where Zhan Tianming was before. The clubs hit the ground hard and left the two orcs shaken as the vibration traveled through the club into their arms.
Swish, swish, swish...
Six flying stones shot out.
Puff, puff, puff...
Those six stones accurately burst an eye each of the remaining six orcs.
The accuracy was so scary that it seemed like it had something divine behind it.
Squish, squish, squish...
Damage values appeared above the six orcs' heads.
"Roar!"
"Roar!!!"
"Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The orcs howled like frenzied demonic beasts.
BOOM!
At this time, the strongest orc—who was sent flying by Zhan Tianming's palm—crashed into a large tree, shattering it.
"ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Another five-figure damage value appeared above its head.
"Puff..."
The orc spat out a mouthful of blood.
Right now, the orc felt as if a meat grinder was crunching its internals.
The pain was simply unbearable.
This was all thanks to the powerful garroting effect. Apart from the crunching pain, the orc also felt its entire chest area slowly freezing. His vital energy and blood flow began slowing down, and every time he breathed, he would exhale a white fog.
"He has an Ice Attribute!"
The strongest orc loudly reminded his comrades.
The orcs were all infuriated.
One of the orcs, who was closest to Zhan Tianming, smashed its mace down fiercely.
Before long, a layer of white Frost appeared on its mace.
The other orc tightened its grip on its mace; instantly, flames enveloped the mace.
One spiked club with Ice Attribute and another one with Fire Attribute smashed towards Zhan Tianming. Just imagining the might behind those spiked clubs was a terrifying enough experience.
Zhan Tianming dodged and rolled on the ground.
Although it looked like an ordinary roll, it was incomparably accurate in dodging the attack. After rolling away, Zhan Tianming took half a step back, and another two flying rocks flew out of his hands.
Swish! Swish!
Puff! Puff!
With incomparable precision, he once again ruptured their eyeballs.
Now with both their eyes burst, those two orcs covered their eyes in puzzlement.
'Warm...?'
'Why are my eyes burning?'
Right now, the orcs' eyes had a flame, and it wasn't a flame of passion.
"What?"
The other orcs were all stunned.
"Fire Attribute?"
"Wasn't he an Ice Attribute cultivator?"
"Damn it! Of all the things, he is a dual attribute Martial Practitioner. Fuck it!" The strongest orc shook its thick arms and immediately rushed towards Zhan Tianming in anger. Moreover, as he charged forward, a strange beast pattern lit up on his arm.
The pattern spanned its entire body and was akin to the meridian channel in humans. Its true qi rushed along the pattern, causing it to suddenly light up.
As soon as the pattern lit up, its aura peaked, stronger and more ruthless than ever.
"Roaring Tiger's Mountain Range!"
Suddenly, the orc with the patterns jumped up. Its massive body covered the sun, and the patterns on its claw shimmered as they flew towards Zhan Tianming's head.
"Roar!"
As the claw flew down, a tiger's distinct shadow appeared behind the orc.
The might of the attack shook the entire mountain forest.
Facing the incoming orc attack, Zhan Tianming neither dodged nor retreated.
Attack!
"Proud Dragon Repents!"
"Ding, dong! You've triggered the double power effect and the garroting effect."
"Just what I wanted!"
Zhan Tianming laughed inwardly.
'Damn! Isn't this orcs luck a bit too bad?'
The first time, it ended up triggering the garroting effect.
The second time, not only did it trigger the garroting effect but also the double power effect.
All that happened when there were only 3 in 10 chances of triggering a single one of them.
"Won't I smack you to death this time?"
Zhan Tianming did not hesitate and slapped it hard.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
His palm and its claw collided with a loud bang.
A powerful force exploded and blew the orc away.
Tap, tap, tap.
Zhan Tianming was also forced three steps back.
His palm went numb.
'Its strength is indeed formidable!' Zhan Tianming could not help but think.
This was the first time he had exchanged blows with an orc.
An even higher damage value appeared on the orc's head. Its HP bar emptied out, and it fell to the ground.
It was dead!
Two palm strikes, and it was dead.
"Ding, dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has killed an orc. You have obtained 20,000 experience points and Tiger Mark (x1)."
"Ding, dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has killed their first orc. You have obtained one Dragon Qi point."
"Ding, dong!"
"You've obtained one Tiger Mark from the orc. Would you like to absorb it?"
Hearing the system prompt, Zhan Tianming was startled since he had no idea about this Tiger Mark thingy. However, he did not have the time to check it out. He knew that the system would definitely give him good items, so he decided to absorb it.
"Ding, dong!"
"Absorption failure. The Beast Pattern system has not been activated. The Tiger Mark has disappeared."
"The fuck!?"
Zhan Tianming could not help but curse.
Still bewildered, he turned around and executed the Nine Dragons Step.
Just now, he dodged an attack without even caring about it.
With a swoosh, a mace filled with sharp thorns swept past Zhan Tianming's head, cutting a few strands of his hair.
It was a dangerous attack.
Had he been even a bit slower, his head would have been smashed into smithereens.
Zhan Tianming—who had dodged an attack—turned around, squatted, and suddenly swept his leg out.
Nine Dragon Kick!
Bang!
He squashed one of the orcs like an insect.
He attacked without thinking, yet all his attacks were precise.
Consequently, he began falling down, but...
Nine Dragon...
Bang!
His elbow struck one of the orcs right above its heart.
"Ding, dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming..."
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The remaining five orcs were even more furious.
Out of the five, only three still had one eye left. That eye was filled with fury and killing intent. The other two blind orcs were also roaring in anger.
"Human, I will devour you!"
"Human, go and die!"
"Kill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The five orcs had long since forgotten about escaping.
Kill!
Kill the human!
Then, eat him.
This was how the orcs vented the anger in their heart.
Kill the enemy and then eat them.
Rumble...
Rumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Three one-eyed orcs rushed forward crazily.
As for the remaining two blind ones, they used their innate sense of smell and hearing to charge toward Zhan Tianming.
Behind Zhan Tianming, there just happened to be those dozens of tied-up humans.
If Zhan Tianming got out of the way, those dozens of people would definitely be smashed into a bloody pulp by their maces.
To run or to fight head-on?
A thought flashed through Zhan Tianming's mind.
Run away?
Like hell!
He definitely wouldn't do that.
'Let's just go all out!'
