Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 160 The Sin of Extermination, Balu

Bang bang bang!!
Without the slightest hesitation, Hu Ming's pistol fired repeatedly.

Without even blinking, he fired an entire magazine full of bullets.

bang~
The head of the Sin Eater Balu in the very center suddenly exploded out of thin air, just like a watermelon.

Just like its monstrous appearance, the blood that flows from it is an unusually black color, as black as ink, like the alluring darkness of hell!
Hu Ming casually tucked the empty pistol into his waistband and drew the Dragon Pattern Cloud-Turning Blade from his back.

The cool moonlight cast a magnificent silver hue on the precious sword, making the chilling aura emanating from the black blade even more intense.

"Roar~~!!!"

At this moment, the remaining two Sin Eaters below reacted. Enraged by the death of their companion, they raised their heads and roared in Hu Ming's direction.

In ancient times, they were the executioners of hell in the Samsara sect, responsible for swallowing the corpses of heinous criminals so that they would suffer endless torment even after death.

Back then, they held a high status; when had they ever faced such a life-threatening crisis?
"A beast is still a beast."

“Those bastards from the Samsara Sect raise you like divine beasts, but in the end, you are just a few lowly ghosts.”

Seeing this, Hu Ming shook his head, his calm voice echoing in the empty hall.

The next moment, he moved.

With a powerful push off the pillar, he shot out like lightning.

The dragon-patterned cloud-swirling blade in his hand drew out streaks of mournful, brilliant light under the moonlight.

snort~
With a muffled thud, Hu Ming appeared between the two Sin-Eating Balu. Before they could even react, Hu Ming's sword had already slashed one of them.

Thin lines of blood appeared, and one of the Sin Eaters suddenly tilted its head. Upon closer inspection, its neck was still severed, the cut as smooth as a mirror.

There was no way around it; Hu Ming's knife was just too fast!
Hu Bayi and Fatty were almost there, and even ferocious beasts like the Sin-Eating Balu hadn't reacted yet!
With a flick of his wrist and a flash of light, Hu Ming once again silently severed the massive head of another Sin Eater, Balu.

Hu Ming's knife skills were never fancy; they were all about speed, precision, and ruthlessness! So fast that ordinary people could hardly react to the speed of his swings!
puff!
With a flourish, he flicked his knife, and a semi-circular black bloodstain covered Dongzi's crimson bloodstain.

"All done, call it a day!"

"He's down, Lao Hu, Fatty!"

Hu Ming sheathed his sword and stood up, casually whistling.

Intuition told Hu Ming that there was no fourth one, and the danger had been completely eliminated.

In fact, for Hu Ming, these were hardly any dangers; at most, they were just appetizers or warm-up exercises.
"Gulp!"

Hu Bayi and Fatty only reacted when Hu Ming called out to them, and Fatty swallowed hard.

"Mingzi, no, Master Ming, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like you've gotten even stronger?"

"I remember the last time you attacked, your blade wasn't this fast. At least I could see some afterimages. But now, I can barely see your blade move at all!"

The fat man kicked the corpse on the ground and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Hu Bayi nodded, then looked at Hu Ming. He truly hadn't expected that his cousin's strength had increased rather than decreased since leaving the army with him, becoming far stronger than before. "Perhaps..." Hu Ming shrugged.

This wasn't Hu Bayi's or Fatty's imagination; he sensed it the moment the attack began.

It must be the Great Rejuvenation Pill that has elevated his strength to a higher level.

However, Hu Ming suddenly has a happy problem: being too strong in this world isn't always a good thing.

He enjoys the thrill of exploring tombs and burial sites more for the various dangerous environments.

However, as Hu Ming grew stronger, almost no danger could move him.

"Sigh, I guess I'm just too strong after all. It's so frustrating..."

Thinking of this, Hu Ming couldn't help but sigh, and then he unconsciously imitated Deng from his previous life, singing softly as he looked up at the moonlight at a 45-degree angle through the hole in the roof, his figure and back view showing loneliness and desolation.

Invincible~
How lonely, how invincible, how empty, alone on the summit, the cold wind blowing endlessly, my loneliness, who can understand me~
"what?"

The fat man looked around in surprise and doubt, wondering if it was just his imagination, but he thought he had just heard a deep male bass singing an extremely pretentious song in the air?
The fat man turned around and saw that Hu Bayi had the same expression and movements as him.

Now the two were even more panicked! When had they ever seen anything so bizarre?
Even the vengeful ghosts we encountered before were at least visibly visible; nothing was as terrifying as this one.
"Ahem!" Seeing their reactions, Hu Ming blushed and quickly shut his mouth, coughing lightly.

"That's it? Akiko, what you just did..."

Hu Bayi and Fatty exchanged a glance, then instinctively looked at Hu Ming, who was definitely a professional at dealing with these kinds of evil demons and monsters.

"...You heard wrong, there was no sound at all, no one was singing!"

"You just didn't sleep well and are hallucinating!" Hu Ming turned his head away, dismissing their doubts.

"Huh?" The fat man looked at Hu Ming with a completely bewildered expression.

"What the heck? Get to work! There seems to be something in this secret room!"

Damn it, I almost gave myself away! It would have let outsiders know that I, Hu, am a show-off.

However, at this moment, Hu Bayi glanced at Hu Ming. He had already guessed that the unfamiliar man's voice must have come from his brother, since if he listened carefully, it was coming from Hu Ming's direction. Moreover, he knew that his cousin had always been a repressed show-off since childhood.

Unaware that he had been exposed, Hu Ming turned his back, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly led the way toward the open secret room.

The space inside the black iron gate was filled with all sorts of bones.

Judging from the shape of the skeletons, some are human, while others are from other animals.

It's clear that this space was specifically designed to house these three Sin Eaters.

At the very top of this space is a cave with a perfectly round opening, like a vertical shaft.

Looking up at the searchlight, all that could be seen above were rubble and debris obscuring the entrance to the cave.
