Chapter 15

Listen, listen, listen, listen (It's not easy to type, it's very hard. Please give me some motivation, everyone.)

-------------------------------------------------

From start to finish, it only took a minute or two.

The ordinary residents gathered quickly, but they dispersed just as fast, running away in no time. They fled in disarray, and the werewolves that leaped over the walls did not chase them. Instead, they focused on the few people led by Cain. Real battles often last only a moment; if it takes half a day to decide a winner, it’s definitely a martial arts TV show.

Not to mention, it’s physically exhausting!

In Chinese martial arts, there is a distinction between 'strength' and 'power.' In a real life-or-death struggle, a single punch can make one break out in a fine sweat. Zhao Futu doesn’t understand the intricacies of high-level martial arts, but he knows that full exertion puts a severe strain on the body, and few can sustain high-intensity combat for long.

This is easy to test. An ordinary person can take a deep breath, hold it, and then punch forward with all their might.

In an instant, you’ll understand why the above statement is true.

Zhao Futu’s explosive power is astonishing!

But as a legitimate practitioner of the Silver Cross Swordsmanship, Cain’s explosive combat power is even more astonishing! The Silver Cross Swordsmanship, a pinnacle of Western swordsmanship, was specifically created to adapt to the battlefield. It is a high-explosive, high-damage combat technique! Battles on the cold weapon battlefield are rarely prolonged; they are often fought in shifts, so the swordsmanship of the Crusades aimed to achieve maximum damage in the shortest time!

Here, it’s worth mentioning a point.

The Silver Cross Swordsmanship was created by the Knights Hospitaller during the First Crusade, integrating the best of Western European swordsmanship. They embarked on a long expedition to the Holy Land of Jerusalem, fighting against the world’s toughest nomadic Islamic warriors. Through prolonged warfare, they accumulated a wealth of combat experience and integrated the strengths of various Western European swordsmanship techniques, ultimately forming the current Silver Cross Swordsmanship.

As nomads, Muslim warriors were naturally excellent horsemen, and the majority of Muslim warriors were cavalry. The Silver Cross Swordsmanship was initially created to counter cavalry, incorporating many wild techniques from Viking great swords. Its purpose was to kill both horse and rider in combat against Muslim cavalry!

This is an extreme combat technique, with many vulnerabilities due to its ferocious attack style, but its momentum and power are among the best in the world!

In this regard, the Silver Cross Swordsmanship is very similar to the decapitating swords of the Qin and Han periods.

The latter evolved into the famous ring-headed saber, the most advanced and lethal close-combat cold weapon of its time, and a weapon of great historical significance. To some extent, it was the ring-headed saber that defeated the Xiongnu and indirectly caused the great migration of Eurasian peoples.

………………

When Zhao Futu burst into action, he used the most powerful spinning slash, but Cain did not fight with all his might. He used the equally lethal side slash, but unlike the spinning slash, which is invincible, the side slash left some room for maneuver and had many more options. With four companions guarding him, Cain didn’t need to go all out at the beginning of the fight.

He and the warrior nicknamed 'Butcher' were the most powerful!

The former was a legitimate knight, and the latter was a top warrior who had participated in the Crusades and returned alive! They worked together seamlessly, and their explosive power was astonishing, managing to kill three werewolves in just a minute or two! However, after the werewolves counterattacked, they were also injured, with Cain’s chest bearing a bloody claw mark.

"After all, they are just werewolves, not Wolverine! These werewolves have good regenerative abilities, but they also have many fatal weaknesses."

Their weapons were pre-imbued with silver, which had an additional effect on werewolves. As long as they were hit in a vital spot, the werewolves would either die instantly or be critically injured!

On the other side, the glasses-wearing man and the pyramid scheme man also teamed up to kill a werewolf. With the burly man from the countryside providing cover, both could easily exert their combat power and even had the energy to protect the defenseless white-collar woman. However, after the plot residents all fled, they were no longer so relaxed.

Without those people to distract the werewolves, the pressure on them increased significantly, and both the glasses-wearing man and the pyramid scheme man were injured.

"Damn! I’ve been infected by the werewolf virus!" After the group huddled together, the pyramid scheme man couldn’t help but curse.

The claws and teeth of low-level werewolves have a certain chance of infecting them with the werewolf virus, but the probability is not high, only about 10%. With Zhao Futu and the others’ health, they could only withstand two or three attacks from low-level werewolves. The pyramid scheme man was infected by a single claw attack. Perhaps due to bad luck, the burly man from the countryside, who had been attacked two or three times, was not infected.

Twelve against nine.

The situation for the group, now surrounded by werewolves, was not optimistic.

Among the group, only Zhao Futu, who fought with all his might without getting injured, and the white-collar woman, who did not participate in the fight at all, were unharmed. As for Cain and the others, they were all injured by the werewolves. After all, their enemies were werewolves, not ordinary humans, and these werewolves had a natural advantage in strength and agility!

"Take it! No one can protect you from now on! If you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself!" Zhao Futu handed the white-collar woman another short sword from his waist, then discarded the long sword and pulled out the Desert Eagle from the high school student.

The reason he went all out from the beginning was that he didn’t plan to rely on cold weapons.

Even with the help of the mysterious space, he gained the ability of Silver Cross Swordsmanship Level 1 in a day, but Zhao Futu was very clear that he was still too unfamiliar with cold weapon combat. From the start, he planned to switch to the Desert Eagle if his full attack didn’t work.

If he were just an ordinary person, his combat style would be very dangerous.

But now, his body had been digitized by the mysterious Nightmare Space, and his life was determined by attributes and health points, not the many concerns of ordinary people.

As long as the werewolves couldn’t kill him in one hit, he could take a chance!

"Charge!" Zhao Futu and Cain exchanged a glance, and Zhao Futu took the lead, charging toward the werewolf on the far left.

This werewolf had charged the fastest in the previous battle but was hit in the left eye by a military crossbow from the town guard, leaving several wounds. Even with the werewolf’s regenerative ability, it couldn’t recover quickly, making it the weakest among the werewolves! Outside the town, many giant wolves were already climbing over the walls, and in two or three minutes, dozens of giant wolves would enter. If they couldn’t quickly eliminate these werewolves, everyone would be devoured!

"Bang!"

The deep sound of the Desert Eagle echoed as Zhao Futu shot the werewolf in the head, creating a hole in its forehead. At a distance of less than twenty meters, the Desert Eagle’s close-range shooting power was truly astonishing, instantly killing the injured werewolf! These werewolves were primitive beasts and had never seen firearms before. When Zhao Futu aimed, they didn’t even try to dodge, and he shot them in the head!

"Killed one low-level werewolf, gained 300 survival points."

However, he immediately drew the attention of the other werewolves, and several of them charged at him.

Zhao Futu didn’t dare to look back, turned, and ran, heading toward the people who were fleeing into the town, trying to use them as cover. Otherwise, if he were surrounded by several werewolves, even if he went all out, he would have no chance of survival. Fortunately, after Zhao Futu drew the attention of some werewolves, Cain and the Butcher launched a coordinated counterattack. Both were masters of cold weapon combat and had extensive experience fighting werewolves, targeting their vital spots and drawing the remaining werewolves to them.

The glasses-wearing man and the pyramid scheme man now understood that if these legitimate bounty hunters all died here, they would be next.

Both went all out, sharing the pressure.

But!

At this moment, a terrified scream suddenly came from the town inn, and many of the people who had fled in panic turned around and ran back.

—"Awooo!!"

A loud howl, and the door of the town inn was violently pushed open, and a very strong werewolf with extremely muscular upper limbs rushed out.

Zhao Futu was instantly stunned.
