The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins-Chapter 60: Meat Mountain

Zhu Haomiao quietly crept up from behind and gently covered the prison guard's mouth and nose. At the moment the guard's eyes widened in terror, he twisted forcefully.

Crack~

"Mmm..."

The scream that almost escaped was abruptly cut off. Amid the crisp sound of cracking bones, the guard's cervical vertebrae snapped, his head spun 180 degrees, and the faint groan was instantly stilled in his throat.

"Relax, a little pain is normal."

Holding the twitching, convulsing body of the prison guard, Zhu Haomiao murmured softly into his ear. It was only after a dozen seconds that he gently laid the lifeless body on the ground.

Finding a short blade beside the prison guard, Zhu Haomiao drew it from its sheath, and looked at the sharp steel blade gleaming coldly, nodding in satisfaction.

Though it was just an ordinary standard steel blade, it was well maintained and proved more practical in actual combat than many flashy weapons.

He awkwardly twirled the blade and stealthily entered a nearby room filled with snoring. Seconds later, the snoring stopped one by one, and the room gradually fell into a deadly silence, with a faint hint of the strong scent of blood.

He swaggered out of the room, the young man casually flicked the steel blade, flinging the blood droplets to the ground, and after surveying the area to confirm no living creatures were around, he headed toward the dungeon.

Descending the stairs into the dungeon, the dim light was evident, along with faint sounds of drinking and toasting.

"Five Sixes! Six, six, six!"

"Hahahaha, you lost!"

"Boss, another drink~"

......

Standing at the corner for a few minutes, confirming there was no chance to take them out one by one, Zhu Haomiao sighed helplessly and walked straight out.

The sound of leather shoes tapped lightly on the cold, damp stone slabs as he approached the lights, only then did the drunken revelers inside notice someone nearing.

"Damn it, Er Gou, that kid's slacking off on guard duty again, sneaking down here for a drink..."

A prison guard near the passageway shook his numb head, stood up ready to scold, when a flash of silver blade obscured his vision.

When he came back to his senses, he found himself airborne, with a familiar headless body on the ground, its neck, as wide as a bowl, gushing bright red fluid like a fountain.

"Old Liu!!!"

The remaining few immediately sobered up, grabbing weapons at hand, glaring fiercely at the figure slowly emerging from the dark shadows.

With the blade pointing downward at an angle, Zhu Haomiao surveyed the scene and frowned slightly.

Though the sneak attack took out one, the remaining three seemed not to be easy targets...

Especially the massive Meat Mountain sitting in the middle, leisurely eating in such circumstances, seemingly indifferent to the surrounding disturbance.

However, Zhu Haomiao had no time to think, for two elder prison guards charged from his left and right, their sharp blades sealing off the narrow passage, cornering the young man with deadly intent.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Haomiao advanced instead of retreating, using the feints of the Plum Blossom Step, his figure swayed left and right unpredictably, causing the two attackers' strikes to shift, revealing a small flaw.

Clang~

The steel blade swung up, clashing head-on with the cutting attack of the prison guard, the force from which made Zhu Haomiao's pupils contract, immediately dispelling the idea of a forceful kill.

Damn it, even an elder prison guard's strength surpasses mine!

[Strength]: 1.0↑ (2.5)

Glancing instinctively at his own [Strength] attribute, Zhu Haomiao gritted his teeth in secret.

When I develop into a complete body, I'll slay each one of you with a single strike!

Yet, the impotent anger in his heart could not change the current situation. Zhu Haomiao could only use the second layer of the Plum Blossom Step, to dodge and weave through the two's assault, while simultaneously calling upon the Second Layer of the Stacked Waves Strength to slowly increase his internal strength.

Thankfully, though the strength of the two elder prison guards was formidable, it was just slightly superior, not to the point of overwhelming.

As the Stacked Waves Strength gradually activated, Zhu Haomiao could noticeably feel his responses becoming more relaxed, even starting to suppress the two attackers.

However, facing him, the two were increasingly disturbed, feeling the enemy's onslaught akin to the mighty tide of the Qiantang River, one wave after another, layer upon layer, as if they were confronting the grandeur of a natural disaster, transitioning from skillfully handling it to utter despair in a matter of seconds.

What on earth is this sorcery?

Or is it that the opponent hasn't even unleashed their full strength, merely toying with us?

Growing anxious, the two elder prison guards no longer cared about anything else, shouting for help.

"Boss, stop eating! Help out now!"

It was only then that the Meat Mountain, who was stuffing a chicken leg into his mouth, paused, wiped his hands randomly on his body, picked up his weapon, and stood up slowly.

In an instant, Zhu Haomiao felt the basement dimmed as the already cramped space became even tighter, simply because the creature with its head brushing the ceiling was stretching its body. Its enormous physique creating a visual oppression.

What kind of O'Neal plus pro max version is this?

Facing the massive Meat Mountain, a sense of urgency surged within Zhu Haomiao, his actions intensified with ferocity, aiming to eliminate the "small fries" before it joined the fray.

However, lacking any precise kill moves, his straightforward slashes made the elder prison guards grimace, yet unable to break through their defense.

Soon, witnessing Meat Mountain charging at him, Zhu Haomiao reluctantly abandoned conventional stratagem, a bloodthirsty, savage gleam lighting up his eyes.

[Anger]!

Magma-like searing, violent energy surged through the young man's body, the initially sharp blade light suddenly became frenzied, with irresistible force, breaking through the two elder guards' defense, snapping their necks under their incredulous gaze.

Heads filled with despair spun through the air, even upon landing, their faces frozen in a grimace from the moment of death.

Eeven as his own dead subordinate's unseeing gaze bore into him, the heavy-charging Meat Mountain paused, an indifference in his eyes replaced by a hint of dread, cautiously asking.

"Are you here to break into the prison?"

Not in the mood to waste words with the enemy, spurred by the extreme Second Layer of Stacked Waves Strength and the extraordinary power of Anger, Zhu Haomiao knew his physique wouldn't last long. He had to finish this quickly!

Bang~

Stamping a foot on the floor tile, the dark silhouette charged straight at the enemy, the unstoppable ferocity even startled the Meat Mountain. freёwebnoѵel.com

Where did this lunatic come from?

Going all in right from the start?

Clang~

Zhu Haomiao's steel blade clashed fiercely with the giant Mo Blade in the enemy's hand, producing a metallic twist that grated on the ears.

Meat Mountain was startled, the backlash force from his hands didn't feel like it came from a scrawny human, but rather an enraged wild bull.

Thud~

The massive form staggered back a step uncontrollably, its entire bulk rippling like waves, dissipating and distributing the impact throughout itself.
