Previously, after thrusting the Mitsubishi military dagger deeply into the upper jaw of the Lich King and being thrown back, Xia Leng swiftly reacted by grabbing the light blue crystal that the Lich King had stepped on.
This crystal, from Phillip's head and on the verge of breaking through the third stage of the apocalypse warriors, was Phillip's final gift to Xia Leng after his death.
The moment Xia Leng tightened his grip on the crystal, the black virus inside him began to work, starting to devour the stone that could grant him immense power.
Xia Leng already possessed strength comparable to a Tier 2 warrior. After consuming this Tier 2 crystal, his power could reach the peak of Tier 3, and even approach Tier 4!
A Tier 4 apocalypse warrior, even within the fortress of Komodo Corporation, was a formidable and pivotal force.
As the Lich King swung its claws to tear Xia Leng apart, the crystal was already half consumed, allowing Xia Leng to attain the early stage of a Tier 3 apocalypse warrior's strength, just enough to block the Lich King's claws with one hand.
Now, the entire light blue crystal had been fully absorbed, turned into nutrients and integrated into every corner of Xia Leng's body.
This meant he now had the power of a peak Tier 3 apocalypse warrior, on the verge of breaking into Tier 4!
Moreover, after absorbing the crystal, all the fractures and injuries on Xia Leng's body healed almost instantly due to the ample energy he received.
The Lich King was shocked to see that this human could withstand its attacks with physical strength alone, momentarily stunned.
It saw the man's eyes changing, dark lines converging within his pupils until they covered the whites of his eyes completely!
The Lich King then realized that this man seemed to have completely lost any familiar human traits?!
Suddenly!!
Xia Leng launched a counterattack!
Using the speed of a Tier 2 hunter combined with the strength of a Tier 3 warrior, he instantly punched the Lich King's abdomen at close range!
Boom!!!
With a heavy thud, the Lich King's nearly half-ton body was actually pushed back several meters by this man, who was several times smaller than it, stumbling and crashing to the ground!
The natural armor on its abdomen even showed faint spiderweb-like cracks!
This scene left the two mercenaries present dumbfounded, wondering how the situation had changed so suddenly?!
Roar!!!
The Lich King, knocked down, immediately got up and let out an extremely angry roar, disregarding the blood pouring from its mouth, and charged at Xia Leng like a tank!
It could not believe that its authority as a zombie lord could be challenged by a mere human!
As it swung its proud claws, about to tear the opponent apart, it forgot that the opponent's speed was naturally faster than its own!
Possessed by a berserk personality, Xia Leng easily dodged the Lich King's claw attack with a slight lean!
Then, he seized the Lich King's thick arm and, with a powerful burst of strength from his waist, roared and lifted the monster completely, executing a shoulder throw and slamming it hard onto the ground behind him!
Caught off guard by this move, the Lich King never expected to be thrown to the ground by such a small opponent!
Whoosh!!
At this moment, the Lich King's face changed again as it suffered a heavy blow to its back!
After throwing the Lich King to the ground, Xia Leng rolled onto its back and grabbed his titanium blade, stabbing it deeply into and through its back!
The previously inflicted minor armor damage on the Lich King's back became the breakthrough point for Xia Leng's attack, nearly embedding the entire nearly one-meter-long titanium blade into it, causing a gush of green blood to erupt!
The Lich King, severely injured again, let out a painful and angry roar and tried to flip over to crush the one on its back. However, Xia Leng had already anticipated its move and dodged in advance.
While avoiding, Xia Leng used the opportunity to pry the blade embedded in the Lich King's back, tearing away a large chunk of natural armor along with flesh, exposing the large internal muscles on its back!
The Lich King, now completely enraged by the continuous severe injuries, started grabbing anything nearby and wildly throwing it at Xia Leng. However, Xia Leng nimbly dodged every attack!
"Fire."
Xia Leng, while evading the attacks, coldly instructed the two mercenaries who had been idle throughout. They finally reacted, quickly picking up their firearms and firing at the Lich King's blood-soaked back!
This time, the dense bullets were able to penetrate the exposed muscles of the Lich King, causing substantial damage!
At this moment, Captain Gilbert, who had been unconscious, woke up amidst the commotion and was stunned by the scene before him.
The indestructible Lich King was now drenched in green blood, giving it an even more terrifying appearance!
But he had no time to think further and immediately shouted to Xia Leng, "Lead it to the window. I'm ordering the tank downstairs to bombard this bastard!!"
Then, he quickly pulled out the communication system from his waist, which fortunately was still intact, and immediately contacted the tank crew downstairs to elevate the barrel to a 45° angle and lock onto the area around the 13th floor.
Xia Leng agreed with Gilbert's plan upon hearing it.
Although he had just inflicted considerable damage on the Lich King, it was still capable of launching fierce attacks, and the more it was injured, the more frenzied it became!
Perhaps only a tank cannon could completely deal with it!
Thus, Xia Leng began to deliberately dodge towards the window, gradually guiding the frenzied Lich King to the edge of the window.
However, whether the Lich King sensed the danger or overheard their conversation, it stubbornly refused to move towards the window.
Seeing this, Xia Leng had no time to waste.
He gripped his titanium blade tightly, charged at the monster, and launched a more ferocious attack!!
Xia Leng's every slash, as swift and explosive as a phantom, forced the Lich King, whose strong body was being pushed back, to gradually retreat towards the window!
Gilbert, witnessing this scene, was speechless with shock. Wasn't this man supposed to be a nimble apocalypse hunter?!
Why was the power he exhibited now even stronger than Phillip's, able to drive the seemingly invincible Lich King into retreat?
Crash~
At this crucial moment, Xia Leng exerted all his strength, leaping into the air and forcefully driving his knee into the Lich King's massive jaw, causing its body to tilt backward, and its head to shatter the window, exposing it to the outside of the building!
And also exposing it to the tank's targeting range below!
