Chapter 354, The Overlord’s Hammer 

Translator: Silavin

 

An Elder clearly beyond the Entry Stage Martial King Realm had actually been forced back!

 

Seeing this, the defending soldiers in Ancient Mountain Pass broke into cheers.

 

Perhaps they had not known Li Yuanba before, but after today, that silhouette of this one man, with his hammer, would be forever etched into their Souls.

 

*Thud thud thud…* After landing, the Elder left six deep footprints in the ground before steadying himself.

 

“How is this possible!?” Feeling the intense pain from his arm, the Elder’s eyes revealed deep disbelief.

 

He could sense that the strong man before him should have only recently advanced to the Martial King Realm. However, that hammer strike contained power that even he, a Mid Stage Martial King, could barely withstand.

 

He could not understand where such blatantly pure brute force came from!

 

After taking a High Grade Healing Pill, the pain in his hand gradually subsided, and the Elder began to take Li Yuanba seriously.

 

*Hehe!* Li Yuanba had also been forced back several steps but he was clearly unharmed. Seeing the Elder look over, he grinned.

 

Since leaving Spreading Cloud City, he had gone wherever there was conflict. Under the baptism of war, he had grown extremely quickly, and he had gradually understood Qin Yichen’s intentions.

 

Grow stronger against the strong!

 

He needed even stronger opponents to further progress.

 

“Damn you!” The Elder took his behaviour as mockery. Immediately, he mobilised his Yuan Energy to gather weapons from the surrounding soldiers’ hands, then flung them like a rain of arrows toward Li Yuanba.

 

“Sweeping Thousands of Armies!” Li Yuanba swept his giant hammer in an arc, the massive energy wave deflecting all the weapons.

 

“Take this hammer from your goddamn Grandfather!” Seizing the advantage, he swung his giant hammer at the Elder.

 

Though he did not know a ton of moves, mainly just using two moves of the Overlord Hammer Martial Technique, they were simply unstoppable.

 

Even the Mid Stage Martial King Elder was continuously forced back.

 

Compared to his disarray, Li Yuanba seemed to have inexhaustible strength, growing more excited, swinging his hammer faster and faster.

 

“What a monster!” From afar, Yi Qunlin and Qian Wengang exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

 

“Elder Zuo.”

 

Yi Qunlin clasped his hands to a middle-aged man beside him.

 

Soon, two Mid Stage Martial Kings joined forces!

 

This was extremely rare to see in any Grand Empire. After all, Martial Kings were already considered unreachable existences in common people’s eyes.

 

And now, two Mid Stage Martial Kings were joining forces against one person. Moreover, their opponent had been an unknown nobody before this!

 

If the Great Prosperity Grand Empire had several more of such prodigies… the two Grand Empire’s allied Forces might never return home.

 

Li Yuanba had, after all, only recently stepped into the Martial King Realm.

 

Under the powerful suppression of two Mid Stage Martial Kings, he retreated step by step until he could retreat no further.

 

Because Ancient Mountain Pass was just behind him.

 

“Damn it!”

 

Li Yuanba felt that despite his immense strength, he could not fully unleash it. At this moment, he forgot about the Techniques, forgot about everything. He had only one thought – to smash these two annoying bastards flat.

 

“Overlord Hammer!” His eyes bulged like an enraged God, veins like old tree roots coiled around his arms. As strength surged, rolling thunder seemed to emerge from his body. With a roar, he hurled his hammer like a meteor at the old Mid Stage Martial King Elder.

 

He threw away his weapon?!

 

Just as everyone thought he was making a final desperate resistance, that Mid Stage Martial King Elder was actually blasted away by the giant hammer, blood raining down in mid-air.

 

Disaster.

 

It was a disaster for the allied Forces.

 

The flying hammer plowed a path several hundred meters long through the dense allied Forces.

 

Furthermore, this was just the remaining force after hitting a Mid Stage Martial King!

 

Yi Qunlin and Qian Wengang stared at this scene, speechless.

 

*Cough cough…* That Elder’s chest had clearly caved in. After coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, he fell unconscious.

 

*Siiiii….*

 

Both the allied Forces and Ancient Mountain Pass defenders could not help but draw in sharp breaths.

 

They could not help but wonder how heavy that hammer was!?

 

Actually, Li Yuanba himself was stunned too. Clearly, this exceeded his expectations.

 

However…

 

“Awesome!” Li Yuanba shouted.

 

All he felt was complete exhilaration!

 

He had never felt such satisfaction before.

 

This was why Qin Yichen had only taught him these two moves. This third move of the Overlord Hammer was about burning bridges!

 

Without this mindset, one could never unleash the power of this third move.

 

Once he throws away his weapon, it’s either the enemy dies or he perishes!

 

This was what made the future Unstoppable Barbarian so terrifying.

 

Who would want to provoke someone ready to fight to the death at any moment!?

 

At this point, Li Yuanba realised that two hammers were redundant. One giant hammer was enough.

 

Swinging the hammer in his hand, Li Yuanba’s eyes flashed with deep thought and interest.

 

As for the other Mid Stage Martial King, the middle-aged man, he was trembling in fear. He was terrified the hammer would fly at him next.

 

After all, there was already one precedent. He did not believe he was much stronger than that other Elder.

 

“Stop!” The voice came not from the allied Forces, but from Ancient Mountain Pass.

 

“It’s General Li!”

 

The fortress defenders recognised the speaker.

 

“General Li has come.”

 

“General Li must have gone to get reinforcements to save us…”

 

They still refused to accept that their Grand Marshal and General would betray the Grand Empire.

 

*Whoosh!*

 

General Li stood atop Ancient Mountain Pass’s wall, with several hundred personal guards beside him.

 

Seeing him appear, Yi Qunlin and Qian Wengang actually sighed in relief.

 

Li Yuanba turned back, squinting at him.

 

“Why don’t you kneel before your General?!” After appearing, General Li did not address the allied Forces’ threat, but instead coldly berated Li Yuanba, who had only merits and no faults.

 

These words stunned the originally excited defending soldiers.

 

“Why should your Grandfather kneel to a coward like you!?” Li Yuanba set down his giant hammer, making the ground tremble, as contemptuous words left his mouth.

 

“You!” His attitude made General Li’s body tremble with rage. “Very well, you’ve made your choice!”

 

“Open the gates!” The cold command came from this Ancient Mountain Pass’s General’s mouth, and the heavy gate slowly opened.

 

“Seventh Princess Xia Zilin has bewitched the masses, attempting to usurp the position as heir to the throne. Now, Grand Marshal Li, following the Second Prince’s orders, invites the Great Ease Grand Empire and Thousand Silk Grand Empire to capture this demonic woman!”

 

The prepared speech left his mouth and echoed throughout Ancient Mountain Pass.
