Chapter 163: Crushed! Frozen Fang, No More Levels to Gain
At that very moment!
Cries of wailing and despair echoed from the distant lizardmen.
They watched as a Tranquility Archon Angel appeared before the trapped Flame Archangel. It swung the long spear-staff in its hand, striking the Flame Archangel's body and causing it to dissipate into sparks of light.
“Fourth-Tier Angel Summoning.”
Tang Zheng snapped his fingers.
*Boom!*
A brilliant light coalesced in mid-air, and a brand new Tranquility Archon Angel appeared in everyone's sight.
*Divine Laser!*
The Tranquility Archon Angel brandished its long spear-staff, firing a laser-like beam of holy light that annihilated the lizardmen charging at the forefront.
*Swoosh—*
The Tranquility Archon Angel flapped its wings and teleported above Xiasiliu Xia Xia, who was entangled with the Ghoul Dog.
The Ghoul Dog whimpered, shivering as it quickly disengaged from the fight and retreated.
*Boom!*
Xiasiliu Xia Xia stiffly raised his head, and what filled his vision was the heavy descent of the spear-staff.
Flesh and blood splattered!
The tribe leader of the Green Claw Tribe was dead.
"It's over..."
Seeing this, Crusch Lulu's red pupils filled with utter despair, and she collapsed weakly to the ground.
The straw hat on her head fell off, revealing a snow-white complexion completely different from the surrounding lizardmen. This unusual skin color would normally have attracted countless stares from the other lizardmen.
But at this moment!
With the successive deaths of the tribe leaders of the Sharp Fang and Green Claw tribes, and the appearance of two Tranquility Archon Angels, every lizardman on the battlefield had completely lost their will to fight, fleeing in a state of collapse.
No one paid any mind to the strange, snow-skinned variant, Crusch Lulu.
On the wetland, the wails of the lizardmen could be heard ceaselessly from all directions.
"We are willing to submit, Lord Human."
Crusch Lulu trembled all over as she heard these miserable cries. A stream of tears flowed from her crimson eyes as she looked at Tang Zheng with a pleading gaze.
The Crusch Lulu before him was the complete opposite of the coarse and barbaric image of a typical demi-human lizardman; her entire being exuded a frail and delicate aura.
She was a lizardman who could be considered beautiful by human standards.
"Apologies." Tang Zheng spoke indifferently, his face expressionless. "*Species Charm*."
A mental wave spread out.
Crusch Lulu's eyes became vacant, and she fell silent.
After killing so many lizardmen, Tang Zheng didn't believe for a second that a mere declaration of "submission" would make them forget such hatred.
Come to think of it, the Bone King and the Great Tomb's method of first slaughtering their enemies and then subjugating them was rather abnormal.
The reason the various races acted so obediently was entirely dependent on the terrifying power of the Great Tomb.
Aside from being crude, the Great Tomb's strategy for governance had an undeniable flaw: no one wished to be ruled by the undead, preferring the living.
If an equally strong individual or faction on par with the Great Tomb were to appear, the weaknesses of the races forcibly conquered by the Great Tomb would be exposed, and they would suffer an endless backlash.
*Huff... huff!*
The sounds of heavy panting and running mingled together.
Salius Xia Xia gripped the Frozen Fang, followed by over a hundred lizardman warriors, as they ran with all their might toward the main gate of the Dragonfang Tribe.
They had originally been positioned to block the human's escape. Now, however, all the lizardmen could no longer care about anything else.
The wails of their fellow tribesmen from afar continuously assaulted their hearing.
They had thought that gathering the strength of the Three Great Tribes to deal with a single human was making a big deal out of nothing.
But the distant, miserable cries all proved that their side was the one that had failed!
The smell of blood grew stronger as they approached the battlefield in front of the Dragonfang Tribe.
Every lizardman's steps grew heavy, but none of them stopped. There was only more intense panting.
As all the lizardmen charged out from within the Dragonfang Tribe, what entered their vision was a wetland stained red with blood, densely littered with the corpses of their tribesmen scattered all around.
At a single glance, only three figures were left standing on the ground.
That human, whose appearance was completely different from theirs and who looked incredibly frail; a snow-white lizardman; and a Ghoul Dog.
A white lizardman?
If it were any other time, Salius Xia Xia would not have been able to resist taking a few more curious glances, but right now, his vision was fixed solely on that human.
Such a tragic battlefield was all the proof he needed that his older brother was already dead.
His gaze shifted upward.
Above the human's head floated two angels, each over three meters tall.
With just a single look, Salius Xia Xia's intuition told him that these were beings he could not possibly defeat.
"So... we lost to a monster like this?" A bitter smile appeared on Salius Xia Xia's face.
"Run!"
"Run!"
Salius Xia Xia gripped the Frozen Fang tightly with both hands, roaring at the lizardman warriors behind him.
"Salius..."
"But, you..."
"We will never run!"
"We are the tribe's..."
Fear filled the faces of the lizardman warriors behind him, but they still shouted out loud.
"Get lost!"
"You'll only be throwing your lives away. This isn't courage, it's stupidity."
Salius Xia Xia's voice was a hoarse growl, and then he roared again, "Go!!"
The hundred-plus lizardman warriors behind him exchanged glances. After a brief silence, they turned and ran back in the direction they came from.
As his companions left, Salius Xia Xia finally felt a sense of relief in his heart. With the resolve of death in his eyes, he strode forward.
Gradually, his pace quickened, eventually turning into a run!
"Human!!"
Salius Xia Xia let out a roar, gripping the Frozen Fang with both hands and charging forward violently.
*Divine Laser*.
*Swoosh!*
A dazzling white beam shot out from one of the Tranquility Archon Angels at incredible speed.
"*Mind's Eye*!"
Salius Xia Xia's charge did not slow in the slightest. Instead, just as the Divine Laser was about to reach him, he subtly shifted his body to the side, evading the beam of light.
*Boom!*
The Divine Laser's attack struck the ground behind him, blasting out a deep crater.
"Oh," Tang Zheng was somewhat surprised.
This was the first lizardman so far who had been able to dodge a Tranquility Archon Angel's attack.
Seeing the skill information displayed on the stat panel, Tang Zheng's eyes lit up slightly.
"Roar!"
The Ghoul Dog snarled and charged forward, pouncing viciously at Salius Xia Xia.
Salius Xia Xia stomped his left foot on the ground. Before the Ghoul Dog had even reached him, he had already predicted its movements, easily dodging and bypassing it to continue his charge toward Tang Zheng.
The chains rattled. "*Great Chain Whirlwind*." Having missed its pounce, the Ghoul Dog's eyes flashed with annoyance as it activated the bony chains on its body, which whipped out violently.
"*Fortress*!"
Although Salius Xia Xia wasn't looking behind him, it was as if he had eyes in the back of his head. He swung the Frozen Fang behind him.
A faint blue light flashed from the Frozen Fang and collided with the bone chain, creating a crisp sound like clashing metal and easily deflecting the force of the swinging chain.
"*Ice Freezing*—"
Seeing Tang Zheng already within arm's reach, Salius Xia Xia swung the Frozen Fang.
"It's over." Tang Zheng shook his head slightly.
*Swoosh! Swoosh!*
Before Salius Xia Xia could activate the skill on his Frozen Fang, the two Tranquility Archon Angels had already teleported above him.
Two long spear-staffs stabbed down simultaneously, piercing through Salius Xia Xia in a cross-shape and pinning him to the ground.
"So strong... the gap is too vast."
Seeing that he was less than seven meters away from the human, Salius Xia Xia coughed up blood and muttered to himself.
*Clatter!*
The Frozen Fang fell from his grasp.
Tang Zheng walked up to Salius Xia Xia. "To be killed by two Tranquility Archon Angels, you are already very impressive."
"Can you... spare them?"
Salius Xia Xia looked up weakly at Tang Zheng, his voice faint.
Tang Zheng naturally knew that Salius Xia Xia was talking about the lizardman warriors who had fled.
"Alright," Tang Zheng nodded.
Salius Xia Xia's pupils, which were about to lose focus, widened slightly. He originally had no expectation that the human would spare them, but he never thought the human before him would actually agree.
With the emergence of this thought, Salius Xia Xia completely lost his life.
Tang Zheng picked up the Frozen Fang that had fallen to the ground. He had no intention of deceiving him.
As for the group of fleeing lizardman warriors, Tang Zheng had indeed already lost interest.
[Experience Bar: 365775/70000]
He already had enough experience to raise the [Magic Swordsman] class to its max level.
Of the jobs he currently possessed, once [Magic Swordsman] was at its max level, the only ones left that could be leveled up were [Genius] and [Shaman Master].
And as for these two jobs, Tang Zheng currently had no intention of raising their level. Other than these two, he had no more jobs he could level up.
