Chapter 136 Overlord Resists the Cauldron

"That's power."

With a goal in mind, Shen Qing stopped wasting time and quickly disappeared from the spot, rushing towards a group of demons he had previously discovered.

Those demons that others might fear were, in his eyes, simply objects of karma reduction.

Tall grasses rushed past us, and a foul stench grew stronger in the wind.

Suddenly, the view opened up before me.

It was a pond that had been stirred up and was murky, with sheep droppings scattered all over the banks; it was a complete mess.

A dozen or so ferocious-looking sheep-like demons, with spiraling horns and bodies comparable to tigers, were gathered together.

Their mouths were stained with blood, and next to them lay a gray-haired corpse, mostly eaten away, revealing only the skeleton.

"Meow!!"

Upon seeing Shen Qing appear, the leading sheep demon let out a piercing roar, and more than a dozen sheep demons simultaneously lowered their heads, pawed the ground, and charged forward.

"Bang bang bang!!"

The commotion was enormous; the ground trembled, and the roots of the giant grass that stood in their way, resembling a great tree, were snapped in half.

The scale of the attack was truly terrifying.

"Is this a case of a sheep eating a wolf? This is a complete reversal of the natural order!"

Shen Qing showed no intention of dodging, her eyes burning with intensity.

To conserve his strength, he didn't even use his weapon, but instead exerted force with his feet.

"Boom!"

As the ground beneath his heel suddenly cracked open, spiderweb-like fissures began to spread.

Shen Qing vanished from his spot in an instant, rushing towards the flock of sheep.

There were no fancy techniques involved; it was just a simple punch that produced a sonic boom, just like a cannonball.

The head of the leading goat demon, along with its hard, spiraling horns, exploded completely!

Shen Qing didn't even look, turned around, and delivered another side kick with his right leg, which felt like a steel whip.

It's like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

Shen Qing's figure kept weaving through the horde of sheep demons. Each sheep demon, whose body was powerful enough to smash down a house, exploded one after another, scattering blood and bits of flesh everywhere.

The karma value kept increasing, but like the wolf demons killed earlier, there were no stat boosts.

Half a minute later, looking at the mess on the ground, Shen Qing murmured, "Is it because I don't possess extraordinary abilities?"

[Slayed eighteen demons, including the Aries Monster. Congratulations, host, you have achieved the achievement "Subduing Demons".]

[Subduing Demons: The devil may be one foot tall, but the righteous path is ten feet tall.]

Complete 18 kills within 30 seconds. If there is no suitable replacement, you can choose any one of the affixes to upgrade. The required karma value is 60% of the normal upgrade.

Note: Due to limitations imposed by the host's strength, advancement is limited to Extraordinary-level entries, and the selection time is one minute.

"Subduing demons?"

Shen Qing raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He had actually triggered a new achievement, which meant he could save more karma points.

After all, once we leave this place, it will be hard to find a suitable place where we can hunt demons in peace.

Without hesitation, Shen Qing followed her previous idea and her mind moved.

On the panel, all his personal information disappeared, and the green entry "Carrying a Thousand Pounds" began to emit a blue light before blurring and being replaced.

[Carrying a Thousand Pounds (Green - Strange Tales) Part 1 > The Overlord Lifts the Tripod (Blue - Mysterious Tales)]

[Overlord Lifts the Tripod: Unmatched strength, no one can withstand it. Strength +100%, arms wield immense power, and during bursts of power, briefly enters the "Lifting the Tripod" state, doubling the strength once more.]

The bond of "Bearing a heavy burden as if it were light" has indeed disappeared.

Looking at the bond list, Shen Qing saw that only the [Avoid Heart Poison] bond remained. He had expected this, so there was nothing to regret.

next moment.

A surge of heat appeared from nowhere, and he immediately felt every muscle, bone, and even the smallest tissue in his body changing.

"Snap!"

Shen Qing opened and then clenched his right fist; it was just a simple fist-clenching motion, but the air produced a popping sound.

Although his physical appearance hadn't changed much, he felt full of energy.

He suddenly had a feeling that he could crush everything in front of him into powder if he wanted to, although he knew it was just an illusion caused by his sudden increase in strength.

After a while, Shen Qing calmed down and carefully examined the effects of the entry, a look of joy flashing in her eyes again.

The power of a thousand tons!

Although it was clearly an exaggeration, the brief period of entering the "lifting the tripod" state that followed, which caused his power to double again, was another pleasant surprise.

Now, his single-arm strength is at least 25,000 jin, and if it doubles again, it will be 50,000 jin, or 25 tons of strength!

It can be said to be a humanoid tank in the true sense.

"The Overlord Lifts the Tripod —"

Shen Qing silently recited the name of the new entry, his gaze sweeping around.

The locations of the demons that others had to search for or avoid in all directions were easily revealed to him through his ears.

"With so many demons around, I'll have plenty of time to test the power of this new term."

Meanwhile, outside the grass and forest.

The numbers on the giant scoreboard were jumping wildly.

350.

Four hundred.

In just one hour, the official team's total score had already exceeded 600.

Among them, Shen Qing alone obtained 270 points, and although Wang Beishan and others were cautious, their hunting speed was not slow either, and they also got more than 100 points.

On the contrary, the civilian forces that were previously in the lead have now stopped at 500 points and are no longer moving.

The group, including the man with the hooked nose, who had been extremely arrogant at the beginning, all fell silent.

What is meant by karma in this lifetime?

This is.

"Everyone."

The short-haired youth, who had been quite angry earlier, turned around and spoke calmly, but there was an undisguised smile in his eyes. "What did I say just now?"

"If you can't compete, you can't compete. Is the official team just unable to handle this?"

Seeing that the hook-nosed middle-aged man and his companions remained silent, their expressions as ugly as if they had swallowed a dead rat, he had no intention of letting them off so easily.

:

He said to himself, "The strength is there, so the score will naturally go up. Some people just take other people's caution as weakness and their consideration of the big picture as a lack of ability."

Wow—that's some serious insight!

Everyone around him could hear him clearly.

Hearing the surrounding discussions and the gloating from the sect, the hook-nosed man's face turned ashen, but he didn't dare to make any move.

Let's put aside the question of whether they can win.

What he said before was true; the official score was indeed very low, and the other party could only tolerate it even if they were unhappy.

If he takes the initiative to fight, then the nature of the crime changes, and he goes from being a "vulnerable group" oppressed by the authorities to someone who "provokes trouble."

Seeing this, the crew-cut youth was too lazy to pay any more attention to him, and the group turned and left.

If it weren't for these people stirring up trouble, they wouldn't have bothered with these thugs.

"Pah! What are you showing off for?"

But once they were out of sight, the middle-aged man with the hooked nose curled his lip in disdain.

The official team and their team are both at the seventh rank in terms of overall strength, while he is only at the eighth rank, so it's naturally difficult to judge their strength and who will win or lose.

But if all the officials die inside, they will still be the ones to win in the end. From beginning to end, they were not prepared to conduct the competition normally.
