Chapter 72

"Ha ha ha ha... Indeed, only such a battle can bring me joy, my friends, I love slaughter!"

Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, Tang Cheng was suspended in the air by two ropes, several dozen meters high, spreading his arms and looking down at the civilians like a deity, shouting loudly, "Whether it is my slaughter of others or others' slaughter of me, after coming to this world, I have finally found an opponent who can make me feel truly exhilarated. The thrill of life and death is simply irresistible, ha ha! So, ladies and gentlemen, just watch. This female Titan is mine!"

As he spoke, Tang Cheng charged at the female Titan once again.

The crowd had already become numb to Tang Cheng's疯狂举动, not just the two challengers and the five members of Levi's squad, but even the newly arrived Eren and his group, as well as the Scouting Team attracted by the battle, all stared with wide eyes, none daring to rush forward.

Even Eren, who had already developed his body, could only watch.

Because anyone could see that the current battle was no longer something they could interfere with.

The female Titan's strength was truly formidable. After partial hardening, her body had almost no weaknesses. Her agile body and exquisite combat skills made every move a deadly threat, a massive killing machine... Perhaps even more so due to the anger provoked by Tang Cheng's taunts, the power she displayed was even greater than before. If it were an ordinary person, even a slight touch would likely result in a gruesome death.

Tang Cheng, who was fighting her, seemed like a solitary boat in a storm to the crowd, always on the verge of being capsized by the surging waves. However, with his astonishing speed and skill, he managed to dodge all of the female Titan's attacks, and it was the female Titan who frequently suffered from Tang Cheng's assaults.

There is a saying that brute force can overcome skill, but in this situation, the female Titan's strength was clearly unable to suppress Tang Cheng's skill.

However, Tang Cheng's chances of defeating the female Titan were also extremely slim.

"The female Titan's body is too hard; our weapons can't even cut into it. Even if Tang Cheng can suppress the opponent with his remarkable skills, without a weapon that can penetrate the opponent's body, it's almost impossible to kill the female Titan," Levi explained to those around him while watching the battle.

"But if we could exhaust the female Titan's stamina, making her unable to maintain her Titan form, Tang Cheng could easily take her down," Eren, standing on the same tree branch as Levi, said. However, his brows furrowed almost immediately, "Unfortunately, with our people's strength, if we were to be responsible for exhausting the female Titan's stamina, we would likely lose many lives. And with Tang Cheng alone, the situation is not optimistic either."

Eren sighed heavily in his heart. Although his words might seem to boost the morale of others while diminishing his own, it was an undeniable fact. Even if he didn't say it, others could feel it.

To be honest, at this moment, Eren was more relieved. If he hadn't agreed to Tang Cheng joining the Survey Corps under great pressure, this battle alone would likely have wiped out their entire corps.

As for now, though he was reluctant, he could only leave it to Tang Cheng.

"Ha ha, not bad, not bad. After all this cutting, I'm still unscathed, and even my weapons are gone," Tang Cheng jumped off the female Titan's arm, dodged a straight punch, and threw away the broken blade, laughing.

During the process of killing Titans, the consumption of weapons was also a serious issue. Generally, each warrior's立体机动装置 would be equipped with ten blades for replacement. In this short time, Tang Cheng's ten blades had all shattered.

And the female Titan remained unscathed... the wounds would heal shortly.

This extraordinary recovery ability was also a challenge for Tang Cheng, but the more difficult it was, the happier he felt. As one of the final bosses, if it were easy to defeat, it would be too boring.

"So, you need to step it up!"

As he spoke, Tang Cheng used the speed of "Shun" to flash to the female Titan's lower back, and a cold light flashed as the Frost Blade carved a terrifying wound on her back.

The Seven Night Assassination Technique — Flash Sheath Eight Pierces!

The basic movement steps of the Seven Night Assassination Technique were what Tang Cheng had exchanged for in the Cycle Space. As for the techniques, the survival points he had were not enough to exchange for them. However, a person who could perfectly control their body had already entered the realm of the superhuman. He didn't need to train his body like the Seven Night family; he just needed to understand the basic techniques.

With such a superhuman body, as long as he understood, he could do it.

So, in the Cycle Space, he used very few points to exchange for some stereoscopic images of the Seven Night family using the Seven Night Assassination Technique, and through his own exploration and practice, he mastered some of the techniques.

Actually, when exchanging for bloodline skills, equipment, and other things in the Cycle Space, you would be given an image beforehand to see the effects, and then decide whether to exchange. Of course, these accompanying images wouldn't provide detailed explanations. For example, for a Fireball Spell, the Cycle Space would show someone standing and casting a fireball.

More detailed information, such as the amount of magic needed to cast a fireball and the posture to maximize its power, would require survival points to exchange for.

However, these images were useless to most people, as ordinary people found it difficult to master such details. Taking the Seven Night Assassination Technique as an example, even if an ordinary person saw the entire process of a simple technique, they would find it hard to learn it. This was not just a matter of physical ability but also of experience and understanding.

It's like the same recipe; a master chef can make a dish that tastes just like the original, but a complete novice might only make a disaster.

Many of the Cycle World's challengers were like this. They possessed powerful skills but found it difficult to use them to their full potential. This was the difference between experience and understanding. After all, skills exchanged for and skills learned gradually were fundamentally different.

But for someone like Tang Cheng, with near-perfect body control, outstanding understanding, and no lack of combat experience, simple techniques didn't need to be exchanged; he could learn them directly.

Like the Seven Night Assassination Technique and the Marine Six Powers, these skills that relied entirely on physical ability were not mysterious to him. When the Marine Six Powers and the Seven Night Assassination Technique were combined, the increase in power was not just a little.

When Tang Cheng sliced the female Titan's lower back, before she could react, his right foot had already hardened, and he gathered all his strength to kick the wound.

Bang!

With a loud noise, the female Titan's wound instantly spread.

Although such an attack couldn't sever the female Titan's waist, it did make her feel threatened and angry. With a roar, her massive hand swept towards him.

Tang Cheng, having just used up his momentum, had no strength to dodge and could only harden his hands to block the female Titan's attack, taking the hit head-on, and then his body fell heavily.

Before Tang Cheng hit the ground, the female Titan had already kicked him.

Even with his ability to harden, Tang Cheng found this hit extremely painful. If he were hit again, he would likely be severely injured... This was the most helpless aspect of humans fighting Titans. Human attacks, except for cutting the nape of the neck, were hard to affect Titans, while Titans' casual attacks could easily kill humans.

However, Tang Cheng was not an ordinary person. As the female Titan kicked, the iron chain around his waist shot onto her back, and he used the recoil to quickly dodge, drawing an arc in the air and landing in front of the female Titan.

Then, he bent his knee and aimed a direct stab at the female Titan's eyes.

The female Titan, knowing Tang Cheng's prowess and having already suffered once, did not dare to be careless. She instinctively closed her eyes, hardening her eyelids.

However, Tang Cheng, who was initially aiming for her eyes, suddenly changed his move, delivering a roundhouse kick with his hardened right foot, striking her left jaw. Under this heavy blow, her tightly closed mouth involuntarily opened.

Then, Tang Cheng's left hand lightly threw two black objects into the female Titan's mouth.

Boom! Boom!

Dull explosions sounded from the female Titan's mouth, and thick black smoke emerged from her nose and mouth. The female Titan instinctively screamed, and the hardening of her body instantly disappeared.

At this moment, Tang Cheng removed his mobility gear, and his killing move appeared.

No one could see how fast he moved, nor could they tell what attack he used. But to those around him, Tang Cheng, without his mobility gear, suddenly became blurry. As his figure flickered, countless pieces of flesh blossomed on the female Titan's face... eyes, nose, ears, mouth... In an instant, the female Titan's entire face was a bloody mess.

"Aaaah..."

It was unclear whether this attack made the female Titan feel pain. She, who had been silently killing, unexpectedly began to cry out in pain, blood and tears streaming from her blinded eyes.

"Crying, huh?" Tang Cheng felt no pity at the female Titan's cries; his eyes became even colder. The Frost Blade pierced into the female Titan's neck, slicing from front to back, creating a wound several centimeters deep around her neck.

"Sorry. Although you look pitiful, to me, the cries of the elderly, women, and children are just meaningless noise, because... in slaughter, I become a demon!"

As he spoke, Tang Cheng kicked the female Titan's back of the head.

The massive head immediately tilted forward and fell.
