387: Chapter 387 The Five Elements Flags: The Sharp Gold FlagClang—

A loud boom echoed.

Liu Dapeng’s large cleaver was sent flying directly.

Meanwhile, Liu Jing remained motionless, as steady as Mount Tai.

In just one move, the difference in their levels was clear.

Liu Jing followed up with a backhanded ’Sweep of a Thousand Armies’; the blade of her combat knife skimmed past Liu Dapeng’s stomach without harming him in the slightest.

Liu Jing raised an eyebrow. ”Golden Bell Shield?”

“Hmph,” Liu Dapeng’s face flushed bright red. “A mere woman dares to show off on the battlefield? Give me your life!”

As soon as he spoke, he rushed at Liu Jing empty-handed, throwing a punch.

Liu Jing was 1.7 meters tall and weighed a little over 120 pounds.

Liu Dapeng, however, was over 1.9 meters tall and weighed more than 200 pounds.

The disparity was extreme.

Furthermore, Liu Dapeng had practiced the Golden Bell Shield, making him truly capable of Invulnerability.

Most importantly, he had invited Lord Guan to possess him; even empty-handed, his combat power was definitely not to be underestimated.

Without the clunky large cleaver, he could actually exert even stronger combat power.

When inviting a god to possess one’s body, the key still depended on the vessel; the invited god was actually more like a powerful buff.

Thus, without a knife in hand, Liu Dapeng was even more ferocious. Relying on his thick skin and brute strength, he pursued Liu Jing relentlessly. Every move was a contest of strength, as he attempted to pin her down using his power and size advantages.

Facing such a difficult opponent, Liu Jing had no good solution for a moment. Her combat knife had almost become a mere decoration; a slash only left a white mark. How was she supposed to fight this?

She wasn’t afraid of a contest of strength, but the size difference was too great; it would be very dangerous if she were actually pinned down.

Under Liu Dapeng’s leadership, Yang Zhixiao’s remaining subordinates immediately began a counterattack, using their numbers to start a counter-encirclement.

In just over ten seconds, the situation had actually reversed.

Han Jingyang stared at the three of them, also quite surprised.

What kind of monster was this now?

Invulnerability?

Ridiculous.

Aren’t these all just stage magic tricks?

How can such a thing actually exist?

Although Liu Jing’s combat knife wasn’t a dharma instrument and lacked attributes or skills, it was forged from modern high-strength alloy. Its hardness, toughness, and sharpness were top-tier, easily cutting through nails and iron. Yet, it couldn’t shake this eyebrow-less freak at all. Truly ridiculous!

It seemed he needed to add a little more spice.

At this point, Han Jingyang felt a bit of a sting in his heart.

He had used several skills in one go without even seeing the main culprit yet. A minor loss!

Once he rescued Yang Zhizhong, he would definitely demand a steep price.

Han Jingyang flipped his wrist, revealing another small flag.

The flagpole was made of fir wood, about as thick as an adult’s thumb and as long as a chopstick.

The flag was triangular with a white serrated border. The flag itself was silver, embroidered with a crossed saber and sword in gold silk thread.

“Name: Republic of China Five Elements Flags - Sharp Gold Flag.”

“Grade: Rank Four.”

“Attribute: Qi Gathering +12.”

“Skill: Irresistible Sharpness.”

At first glance, this flag looked unremarkable, but it actually held hidden depths.

Its level was high, its attributes were good, and its skill was also quite decent.

Although it was also a support-type item, its practicality was very strong.

Qi Gathering, as the name implied, was to gather and absorb Sharp Gold Qi.

The ’Irresistible Sharpness’ skill applied the gathered Sharp Gold Qi to a weapon, increasing its hardness and sharpness.

The timing was perfect.

Han Jingyang directly activated the skill.

A silver-white wisp of Qi shot out from the Five Elements Flag. Silently but as fast as a lightning bolt, it flew to Liu Jing’s side and sank into her combat knife.

Then, a faint white light coated the surface of the previously ordinary combat knife.

Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, then became overjoyed.

Although she didn’t know what this white light did, she believed Han Jingyang would never act without reason; it had to be aimed at the Eyebrow-less Monster in front of her.

So, after taking two consecutive steps back to adjust her grip, she lunged at the Eyebrow-less Monster with the hilt facing forward.

Upon reaching him, she quickly ducked, using her agile movement to dodge the monster’s fist while the blade skimmed past his ribs.

On the second floor of the villa.

Yang Zhixiao watched the situation on the field through the drone he had just sent out. He patted Wang Tianxiang’s shoulder appreciatively. “Mr. Wang truly lives up to his reputation. These methods are so brilliant; one person has suppressed three on the other side. Hehehe, I want to see what else that little bastard Han has up his sleeve.”

Wang Tianxiang smiled modestly. “This move cannot be used lightly, but once it is, it can often turn the tide of battle. Of course, Liu Dapeng’s foundation is also crucial. He already has the ability of Invulnerability, and combined with his superior physical fitness, he can maximize the power of the God-Summoning Talisman.”

“Hehe, I still have a few capable fighters under me. How about making one for them too?”

“No, the mana in the dharma instrument is limited and cannot be wasted. If one is enough, don’t make two.”

“What if one isn’t enough...”

“There are no ’what-ifs’. Liu Dapeng paired with the God-Summoning Talisman yields enough combat power to give those three women a hard time. As long as your subordinates are even slightly competent, taking them down will be easy. There’s no need for unnecessary additions.”

“That’s good then,” Yang Zhixiao nodded. “I trust Mr. Wang’s judgment.”

However, before his voice had even faded, he saw Han Jingyang’s movements and hastily asked, “What is that little bastard Han doing now?”

Wang Tianxiang also frowned. “A flag... I don’t understand it. But don’t worry, even if this dharma instrument is powerful, with Liu Dapeng’s current strength, he can hold out for a while. It won’t be too late to make adjustments if we find something is wrong.”

However, in the next second, he saw Liu Dapeng look down at his left ribs in disbelief.

It was clearly visible on the monitor: a wound deep enough to see the bone had appeared on the ribs of the supposedly invulnerable Liu Dapeng, and blood was gushing out.

Wang Tianxiang was stunned.

Yang Zhixiao was even more shocked and furious. He grabbed Wang Tianxiang by the collar. “Didn’t you say it was foolproof? What’s going on?”

Regaining his composure, Wang Tianxiang pushed Yang Zhixiao’s hand away and said indifferently, “How can anything in this world be foolproof? Especially when facing the rising and unfathomable Han Jingyang? You know Han Jingyang’s strength. You should be satisfied that I’ve stalled for this long.”

Yang Zhixiao was instantly enraged. “That’s not what you said just now!”

“I underestimated Han Jingyang’s strength. So what?”

“You... you... you’re fucking looking for death!”

“What? Boss Yang wants to fight me? How about I give you a three-move head start? I might not be able to beat Han Jingyang, but you...”

At this moment, Yang Zhixiao’s subordinate hurriedly came over to mediate. “Boss, Mr. Wang, don’t get angry yet. Hurry and think of what to do. Liu Dapeng is... finished.”

Liu Dapeng was finished.

He was empty-handed.

His strongest asset, his ’bronze skin and iron bones,’ had been broken.

His strength no longer gave him an advantage.

Though large, he was somewhat clumsy and couldn’t even touch the hem of Liu Jing’s clothes.

And he was injured.

How could he keep fighting?

After a few more rounds, several more wounds appeared on Liu Dapeng’s body. Although most were superficial and not fatal, the wounds kept bleeding. If not bandaged in time, he would completely lose his combat ability within a few minutes due to excessive blood loss.

Even the thugs who had just regarded Liu Dapeng as their champion began to flee, because even a fool could see that Liu Dapeng was done for.

Liu Dapeng knew it even better. Feeling the sharp pain from all over his body and the continuous loss of blood and warmth, his heart was filled with extreme anxiety. Yet, he could do nothing against the incredibly agile Liu Jing. After taking another slash, he didn’t even think twice before covering his head and running away.

Liu Jing gave a delicate shout, “You want to leave? Leave your life behind!”
