Chapter 58

"Roar—" A massive insect-bear stood up, its towering four-meter-tall body encased in a black and hard carapace, resembling an iron tower. It swung its huge bear paws, which were as large as baskets, down towards Wang Ge!

"Horizontal Sweep of a Thousand Armies!"

Wang Ge's halberd slashed horizontally, emitting a cold light that flashed past the insect-bear's waist!

The insect-bear continued to strike, but its upper and lower halves had separated, a neat line of cleavage running from the waist. Its internal organs and blood spewed out, and the upper half of its body, like half an iron tower, crashed down towards Wang Ge.

However, Wang Ge, taking advantage of the momentum from the "Horizontal Sweep of a Thousand Armies," turned his body and dodged to the side of the insect-bear, not a single drop of blood splashing onto him.

"This insect-bear is at least a level six insect beast, yet it couldn't withstand my three strikes. This 'Three Strikes' martial technique is indeed powerful, perhaps even surpassing the Twelve Routes of Tan Leg!" Sweat had already formed on Wang Ge's forehead. After catching his breath for a moment, he shook his head:

"Unfortunately, it consumes a lot of strength. Even with my current level ten life force, I can barely perform two consecutive 'Three Strikes.' I need to rest a bit to recover my strength before I can perform it again.

"Fortunately, this halberd is both heavy and sharp. Even without using the 'Three Strikes' technique, a random slash is still very powerful.

"Moreover, insect beasts generally do not gather in groups, and at most, only a male and a female live together. So, these 'Three Strikes' are still sufficient."

Wang Ge collected the insect-bear's egg white, which was larger than that of an insect dog. According to Wang Ge's inference, the size of the egg white is related to the insect beast's size, but not to its level.

However, it was unclear whether the size would affect the energy contained in the egg white, or if the energy in higher-level egg whites would be stronger.

Wang Ge took out the plant essence and glanced at it but ultimately didn't consume it, putting it away. He decided to rest for a while and let his strength recover naturally.

After collecting the valuable items from the insect-bear and putting them in his backpack, Wang Ge rested on the spot. Since he had been practicing using the 'Three Strikes' technique against enemies, there were no intact corpses, saving him the trouble of carrying them. Otherwise, just the corpse of one insect-bear would have forced him to return home.

After resting for about half an hour, Wang Ge felt ready to get up. Just as he was about to stand, he heard a series of shouts and fighting sounds coming from the distance.

Someone is coming?

Wang Ge's heart raced, and he quickly found the eye mask he wore during his underground boxing matches, put it on, and then jumped up, shouldering his halberd to see what was happening.

However, as soon as he jumped up, a woman suddenly burst out from the bushes. Her clothes were tattered, especially the front, which was completely torn, exposing her full breasts. But there was no allure in her appearance.

Her exposed skin was dark and, upon closer inspection, was covered with a thin layer of black carapace. No wonder her breasts, which were so firm, didn't tremble at all, like the iron breastplates on the armor of female warriors in games.

Her long, messy hair hung down, and a red, glowing eye was visible through the tangles.

An insect person?

Wang Ge quickly held his halberd horizontally, but more insect people emerged from the bushes, both men and women, young and old, all with red, glowing eyes and swift steps.

They were in a combat state! And there were so many... Just as Wang Ge was surprised, over a hundred insect people rushed out, surrounding a few people who were fighting and retreating.

Unexpectedly, insect beasts were solitary, but insect people maintained a social structure. Wang Ge wanted to leave, but the insect people had already noticed him. The woman with the firm breasts let out a shrill scream and then sprinted towards Wang Ge like a hundred-meter dash.

At the same time, a few insect people appeared behind Wang Ge, unexpectedly flanking him. Wang Ge turned and ran, slashing his halberd at the insect people rushing towards him!

"Swish—"

The sharp halberd easily decapitated an insect person. Wang Ge dodged past the falling corpse, turned, and swung his halberd in a circle, using the momentum to slash at another insect person's waist!

After killing three insect people in succession, Wang Ge was surrounded. At the same time, one of the people who were fighting and retreating shouted at Wang Ge, "Come over and join us! I am Liang Jiaju, the second son of the Liang family in Mountain City! If we survive, I will reward you heavily!"

Wang Ge had initially planned to join forces with them, as he saw two strong individuals among them, one possibly a level nine life, and the other possibly a level ten life. If he joined them, they had a good chance of wiping out all the insect people.

However, Liang Jiaju's words irritated Wang Ge. If it were the Wang Ge from before, who was accustomed to enduring, he might have chosen to submit and join them despite his irritation. But the current Wang Ge felt a surge of anger and, without acknowledging Liang Jiaju, cut his way towards the weakest point in the encirclement.

To hell with you!

He was on the outer edge of the encirclement, and while breaking through would be difficult, it was not impossible.

Although breaking through would come at a significant cost, Wang Ge's choice marked a different path from his past.

Liang Jiaju was the same wealthy patron who had watched Wang Ge's matches twice and lost two million each time.

Today, Liang Jiaju was in a good mood. He had hooked up with a famous actress, Yan Xiaojiao, known as the "Refined Lady" in the Mountain City base.

Yan Xiaojiao said she wanted to see the original insect people, which was a deliberate challenge to Liang Jiaju. However, after drinking a bit and relying on his bodyguards, Liang Jiaju brought Yan Xiaojiao to the deep mountains of the Four Mountains in a flying car.

Unfortunately, a small accident occurred when they landed. There was no air dock, and not even a clear space. The flying car hit the bottom and was damaged by the rocks. They had no choice but to walk.

Unexpectedly, the modified thunderous exhaust of Liang Jiaju's flying car, which made a thunderous roar during flight, attracted a group of insect people...

Liang Jiaju, protected by his bodyguards, fought and retreated. He originally had four bodyguards, two level nine lives, and two level ten lives, which should have been safe. However, being surrounded by many insect people led to the sacrifice of one level nine life and one level ten life. Otherwise, Liang Jiaju wouldn't have sought Wang Ge's help.

But he was used to giving orders, and even when seeking help, he spoke with authority. He thought that by revealing his name, the other person would obediently come over like a lapdog. However, the other person seemed to ignore him, which both surprised and angered Liang Jiaju.

"Hmm?" Liang Jiaju looked at Wang Ge's figure and found it increasingly familiar. When Wang Ge, wearing the eye mask, turned his head, and Liang Jiaju saw his face, he immediately recognized him as the boxer who had made him lose a million the previous night.

"Great King!" Liang Jiaju called out coldly, "I recognize you! You, come over and help me now, and I might spare you! Otherwise, when we return to the Mountain City base, I'll have you investigated and make sure your entire family dies!"

Wang Ge had worn the eye mask to avoid being recognized, but ironically, it led to his recognition by Liang Jiaju.

Wang Ge's body paused, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

Clenching his teeth, Wang Ge turned and, while cutting down insect people, moved towards Liang Jiaju and the others.

Seeing this, Liang Jiaju couldn't help but laugh triumphantly, hugging Yan Xiaojiao's slender waist and boasting, "See that? In front of the second son, you must cower if you're a tiger and coil if you're a dragon! A mere underground boxer can't escape my palm!"

"Hehe, Second Son is so amazing!" Yan Xiaojiao, terrified by the surrounding insect people, clung to Liang Jiaju, her face pale, and flattered him, pressing her soft chest against him.

After joining them, Wang Ge didn't speak, his face expressionless as he continued to cut down insect people. However, whenever he saw Liang Jiaju in his line of sight, his eyes seemed to spout fire.

While fighting the insect people, Wang Ge observed the level ten life bodyguard. This bodyguard, with his bizarre airplane hairstyle, maintained it even in the intense battle.

The airplane-haired bodyguard was incredibly strong. He suddenly leaped up, jumping two meters high from a standing position, and, using his upper body as an axis, spun and kicked out with lightning speed, each kick from his large leather boots shattering an insect person's head!

"Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack..."

Heads shattered, brains splattered... The insect people around him fell like wheat being cut.

A hundred-meter sprint in five seconds...

A punch with five hundred kilograms of force...

A standing jump over two meters...

A running jump reaching four meters...

Level ten lives were indeed strong, but... Wang Ge frowned slightly, feeling that something was missing.

Wang Ge knew little about level ten lives, but he knew they were very strong and represented a turning point. At level ten, one could be called a "superhuman."

Heavenly essence could directly advance life levels, but only for those below level ten. This indirectly proved the uniqueness of level ten lives.

However, this airplane-haired bodyguard hadn't yet shown his uniqueness, or the legendary pressure point.

Wang Ge had been secretly observing the airplane-haired bodyguard. Just as he felt somewhat disappointed, he suddenly saw the bodyguard's aura increase dramatically!
