Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Overlord’s Tripod Lifting

"Hooo... hooo..."

The Unihorned Black Pig felt dizzy. It shook its head hard, feeling a tearing pain on its scalp, and threw its head back to roar.

BAM!

Its small, bloodshot eyes locked onto Lin Qi. Its thick, iron-like hooves stomped the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust as it charged like an armored vehicle.

Its speed was incredible, leaving no time to react.

Seeing this, Lin Qi continued to gather his strength, once again focusing all the power in his body. After calculating his opponent’s speed and distance...

A second later, he shot forward. His body moved like a fierce general of old leading a charge. Pushing off with his legs, he leaped high into the air from the ground up.

He leaned back, building power. His body bent like a bow, his Great Tendons coiling like powerful springs. The next instant, he unleashed it all.

Raising his Big Gun high, like an overlord lifting a heavy tripod cauldron, he brought it smashing down toward the Unihorned Black Pig’s cervical spine.

The third Killing Technique of the Rock Gun Skill—Overlord’s Tripod Lifting!

Just then, the Unihorned Black Pig charged to within a meter of him, and a huge shadow fell over it.

Its eyes widened, its body instinctively sensing mortal danger.

If this heavy blow from the gun landed, it would surely die!

"Hooo... hooo..."

But it didn’t know how to react. It let out a despairing roar, only able to watch as Lin Qi’s Thunder Horn Spear smashed heavily onto its spine.

BANG!!

CRACK~

Following the heavy impact, immense force struck the Unihorned Black Pig’s spine. Its head slammed hard into the ground, and with another crack, its thick limbs broke!

The first thing to break was its spine.

Its body crashed to the ground, kicking up dust. Blood filled its seven orifices, then suddenly sprayed out!

Its limbs twitched for a moment, then went still.

The second Unihorned Black Pig, dead. Double kill!

Lin Qi withdrew his gun with a blank expression, as if he had just done something trivial.

Not far away, Li Zhou lay on the ground, staring dumbfounded at Lin Qi’s back.

The third Killing Technique of the Drip Water Spear Skill—Startled Swan Flash!

The third Killing Technique of the Rock Gun Skill—Overlord’s Tripod Lifting!

Adding to that Lin Qi’s familiar back and the black Big Gun...

It all matched with the Yang Jian he’d been paired against in the promotion tournament during the Bright Moon event.

The images of the two people completely overlapped.

A thought flashed through his mind!

Lin Qi is Yang Jian!!!

’That’s right, it’s Lin Qi!’

Li Zhou was frozen in place. ’Is this still the Lin Qi I know?’

’How did he become so powerful??’

’A Unihorned Black Pig that I couldn’t even defeat was killed by him in two moves.’

’Maybe now, he’s the true strongest at No. 2 Middle School.’

Thinking this, Li Zhou felt a wave of disappointment!

Lin Qi flicked the blood off his gun, shouldered the black Big Gun, and turned his head to look at Li Zhou, speaking:

"Li Zhou, are you alright?"

"I’m... I’m fine!"

Li Zhou forced himself up from the ground, gritting his teeth as he rose and said:

"I didn’t perform well this time, and this fire axe is too weak."

"If I had my custom-made War Axe, I could have definitely killed that Unihorned Black Pig in three strikes," Li Zhou said, making excuses for himself.

He felt his muscles ache with pain, completely exhausted. He had used up too much energy and had lost all ability to fight.

Lin Qi didn’t call him out on it, simply nodding. "I believe you!"

Jiangtao also limped over quickly, his face full of amazement.

"Brother Qi, you’re just too awesome!!"

"Aren’t you tired?"

"I remember that the third Killing Techniques are all super moves. Each one consumes a huge amount of stamina."

"You used three major Killing Techniques in a row without even getting flushed or out of breath. Are you even human?"

Lin Qi shook his head. "It was pretty tiring. Maybe it’s because I’ve already broken through to the Second Realm?"

"What?"

"You broke through to the Second Realm?"

Jiangtao and Li Zhou were shocked again. ’He broke through to the Second Realm this quickly?’

"Weren’t you stuck at a Qi and Blood Value of 9.99?" Li Zhou asked curiously, ignoring the pain in his body.

The domineering aura of the school’s number one student was completely gone.

Lin Qi calmly explained, "I practice Five Elements Training, so I finished the Refinement of my minor muscle groups long ago."

"Five Elements Training?!" Li Zhou was speechless.

’He makes Five Elements Training sound so easy.’

He was completely crushed. Not only did Lin Qi practice Five Elements Training, but his Martial Arts had also surpassed his own.

Compared to him, he felt like a good-for-nothing. He began to question his life.

"AWOOO~"

A wolf’s howl shattered the trio’s thoughts.

At the end of the street, a massive gray figure slowly emerged.

It was nearly 1.8 meters tall, standing like a small hill with a powerful build and dark gray fur.

Along its spine ran a unique ridge of light gray fur as hard as steel needles, glinting with a cold, metallic light like a covering of Battle Armor.

Its pair of eerie green eyes radiated viciousness and cunning, and its sharp teeth and massive maw looked ready to devour its enemies at any moment.

It exuded a terrifying aura that sent shivers down one’s spine.

This was a Calamity Beast even more frightening than the Unihorned Black Pig, a size larger than even an Iron Spike Wild Boar.

"Brother Qi, it’s a Third-Level Calamity Beast—the Gray Ridge Giant Wolf!"

Beside him, Jiangtao frowned, raising a hand to shield Jiang Miaoyin as he lifted his Battle Saber, ready to fight.

"I know!"

Lin Qi’s expression grew solemn. He took a large step forward and tightened his grip on his Thunder Horn Spear, watching the Gray Ridge Giant Wolf opposite him.

A Third-Level Calamity Beast. An existence far more powerful than a Second-Level Calamity Beast. The pressure was immense.

Nearby, Li Zhou also gritted his teeth and picked up his fire axe, ready to fight at a moment’s notice.

"AWOOO~"

The Gray Ridge Giant Wolf, covered in blood, threw its head back and let out a long howl, revealing a cruel smile.

The next instant, its thick paws stomped the ground, and it launched into a charge.

SWOOSH~

At that very moment, a black shadow suddenly shot out from the sky, glinting with a cold light.

It tore through the sky, splitting the air as it brought down a Heavy Slash.

SQUELCH~

The Gray Ridge Giant Wolf froze on the spot, its entire head instantly detaching from its body and flying through the air.

THUD!

Its massive, charging body crashed to the ground. Blood gushed out like a fountain.

A burly man in a black Combat Suit, holding a sharp Battle Saber, flicked the blood from his blade and nodded with a smile at the three of them not far away.

"The Gray Ridge Giant Wolf has been slain. You are safe now!"

"The rescue team has arrived, no need to worry!"

After speaking, he turned and left, quickly vanishing before their eyes as an afterimage.

Lin Qi sensed the dense Qi Blood on the man’s body; it was incredibly vast. For him to kill the Gray Ridge Giant Wolf so easily, he was most likely a Fourth Realm Martial Artist.

"Look! In the sky!!" Jiang Miaoyin pointed upward.

In the sky, a red aircraft was approaching. The next moment, its cabin door opened.

A figure in a blue Combat Suit leaped out.

"You beast! Die for me!!"

The roar echoed through all of Golden Street. The next instant, a terrifyingly loud explosion erupted, followed by a blood-curdling scream.

"It’s Vice Hall Master Yue Feng!" Lin Qi said. His eyesight was extraordinary, and he recognized the man at a glance.

"The rescuers are finally here!!" Jiangtao finally relaxed, a wave of exhaustion washing over him.

Li Zhou collapsed onto the ground, a weary smile on his face.

Only Lin Qi, with the Big Gun on his shoulder, still stood ramrod straight.

He turned and strode quickly to the back kitchen to announce:

"Everyone, the rescuers are here!"

"We’re safe!!"

"That’s wonderful!" Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi said, their expressions emotional.

The others were so overjoyed they began to weep.

The torment of this period of time had been too much to bear. Now, they were finally safe.

"Big brother, thank you!"

The little girl from before thanked him with a smile.

Lin Qi reached out his hand, but then pulled it back when he saw the blood on it, offering a smile instead. "You’re welcome!"
