Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 616 Sir, times have changed!
"The troublesome people are all gone, now... it's just the two of us!"

"To be honest, your existence really excites me!"

Hu Ming's eyes seemed to be shining as he flashed to the side of the coffin, slamming the lid shut with one hand to block the invasion of the insect cloud, and staring intently at the obviously displeased two-headed ancient corpse.

Now that things have come to this, encountering such a strange thing, Hu Ming doesn't feel the slightest headache; on the contrary, he feels a long-lost surge of excitement!
Judging from the current situation, this thing is indeed extremely troublesome and incredibly difficult to kill.

but…

Difficult to kill doesn't mean impossible to kill!
Hu Ming let out a low shout, and his entire body disappeared from the spot like lightning. He moved at high speed and arrived in front of the two-headed ancient corpse in the blink of an eye.

The mysterious patterns on the Cloud-Swept Blade in his hand seemed to have activated some kind of mysterious power, making it almost—no, it was indeed glowing—in the dim stone chamber!
A mysterious, shimmering light instantly enveloped the entire blade, seemingly bestowing upon the precious sword some indescribable, mysterious power!
"Roar!!!"

The two-headed ancient corpse had a very keen sense of intuition; it felt a long-lost sense of crisis from both Hu Ming and this strange knife!
It glanced warily at the treasured sword, not wanting to make direct contact with the unknown object. Its four legs granted it incredible speed and unparalleled mobility.

Just a fraction slower than Hu Ming, the two-headed ancient corpse narrowly avoided the oncoming blade.

"Huh? Not bad, it's been a long time since I've encountered someone who could dodge my blade!"

Hu Ming stopped and stared in astonishment at the ancient corpse with its hands suddenly retreating.

Given Hu Ming's current skills, achieving this is already quite an accomplishment!
Hu Ming's fighting style inherits the fine traditions of Chinese martial arts; he goes all out and his attacks are always deadly!
There were no fancy moves at all; every strike was aimed at killing the opponent!
The current state of the two-headed ancient corpse is truly astonishing.

After dodging the attack, the two-headed ancient corpse, through some kind of connection, issued an order to the surrounding swarm of insects to attack.

Unfortunately, no matter how the two-headed ancient corpse gave commands, these insect clouds that acted as if they were its own arms were now contradicting its commands!
It was as if Hu Ming in front of them wasn't a delicious piece of flesh and blood, but a human-shaped poison!
Highly poisonous!
Simple thinking prevented the two-headed ancient corpse from thinking more deeply.

The insect cloud lost its deterrent effect, and the enraged two-headed ancient corpse roared to the sky. Instead of retreating, it advanced, temporarily ignoring the threat posed by the treasured sword that shone with a faint bronze light, and actually charged towards Hu Ming!
Hu Ming grinned silently. That's more like it. What's the point of all that fancy stuff?
If you're a man, come and fight head-on!
With a swift movement of his blade, Hu Ming sliced ​​through the air. Instead of advancing, he retreated, his speed increasing dramatically. The man and the ancient corpse charged at each other, passing each other.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye; ordinary people probably couldn't even grasp what exactly happened in that instant!
laugh.…

The ancient corpse with its two hands slowly turned to look at Hu Ming. Its two pairs of eerie green eyes had turned almost bloodshot, and its four arms slowly fell off at the shoulders!
In that split second, Hu Ming actually unleashed four strikes!
Each strike was aimed at the vital points of the two-headed ancient corpse. However, this thing was no ordinary object. In the moment of crisis, it actually used its four arms to block the four strikes!
When faced with Hu Ming's first strike, the creature didn't even bother to dodge, letting Hu Ming cut off its head. With the insect cloud around, the injury only lasted for a few breaths.

But now, after the knife gleamed with a bronze glow, there was a faint sense of deadly danger, which made the ancient corpse have to treat it with caution.

In fact, the ancient corpse is correct.

This time, a sizzling sound came from the wound, just like a red-hot iron scalding the flesh!
The wound on the severed arm emitted a faint light identical to the treasured sword in Hu Ming's hand. This mysterious light was actually corroding the ancient corpse's body along the wound!
"It wasn't in vain that I risked offending those beings to cut off a corner of the bronze gate to reforge this sword. It seems to be working quite well now!"

Looking at his spoils, Hu Ming stroked the blade with one hand and smiled with satisfaction.

Hu Ming only had a vague understanding of this mysterious power and couldn't explain it clearly, but it was indeed quite effective in dealing with these strange things.

That's enough!
Hu Ming has always been a pragmatist.

The two-headed ancient corpse stared intently at Hu Ming, its bloodshot eyes almost oozing blood!

A faint cracking sound came from within. Hu Ming looked closely and saw that the ancient corpse had actually mobilized the insects inside its body to cut off and discard all the flesh and bones near the wound!
This is a tactic of sacrificing a pawn to save the king, like a gecko shedding its tail—very effective!
At the same time, the swarm of insects around the ancient corpse swarmed in, surrounding its wounds. Within a few breaths, the swarm dissipated, revealing four brand-new, complete arms before Hu Ming's eyes. "Ah!"

Damn it, are you a sore loser?

Hu Ming's eye twitched. This was truly the first time he had ever encountered such a rogue who had no weaknesses.

It has to be said that immortality is... a truly troublesome thing.

Cursing under his breath, Hu Ming charged forward again, meeting the ancient corpse's seemingly mocking gaze.

Just to restore the four arms, the worm cloud around the ancient corpse was noticeably thinner.

Perhaps this will be a war of attrition?
The two figures clashed, unleashing a barrage of deadly attacks, each determined to reduce the other to ashes!
Swish…

Suddenly, Hu Ming took a step back, frowning as he watched the ancient corpse repeat its old trick, reopening the wounds corroded by the bronze light.

In just a moment, before Hu Ming had any more time to think, the ancient corpse had already closed in!
Rarely, Hu Ming's body was forced back.

As he retreated, Hu Ming reached the edge of the stone chamber, crossed his feet, twisted his body, and used the wall behind him for leverage.

Hu Ming's excellent physique allows him to perform many incredible feats.

Just like now, with his feet moving like phantoms across the wall, Hu Ming leaped into the air, released his left hand, gripped the knife in his right, and slashed straight down at the two-headed ancient corpse that was pouncing on him.

It seems that this was a stab in the back by Hu Ming to vent his anger.

However, as the blade approached the ancient corpse, a cryptic look flashed in Hu Ming's eyes.

boom!
With a wave of his left hand, a huge, dark brown plastic bucket appeared out of thin air between the blade and the ancient corpse.

With a single stroke, the plastic bucket was easily cleaved open, and the pale yellow liquid thoroughly soaked the ancient corpse.

Hu Ming forcefully twisted his waist and kicked one of the two-headed ancient corpses hard in the temple, causing it to stagger and almost lose its balance.

At the same time, Hu Ming used the momentum to forcibly change his body in mid-air, landing not far from the ancient corpses with their hands. The treasured sword in his hand disappeared into thin air, replaced by…

It was a flamethrower that appeared out of thin air!
"My lord, times have changed!!!"

Hu Ming grinned, pulled the trigger, and crimson flames instantly engulfed the ancient corpse!
In an instant, countless insects were cremated and charred, and a strong smell of burning filled the air.

At the same time, the flames intensified the moment they touched the pale yellow liquid on the ancient corpse, and the corpse instantly burst into flames, turning into a huge fireball!
The pale yellow liquid...that's clearly aviation gasoline!!!
