Chapter 69: Unbearable Shock

Li Wei's sword directly caused a nearly gutting effect on the flesh giant.

The whirlwind, mixed with demonic power, erupted inside it, causing terrifying damage. Half of the flesh giant's internal organs were torn to shreds by the whirlwind and demonic energy, and they were thrown out along with the huge wound.

In the one or two seconds of the whirlwind's eruption, this flesh giant had almost lost a third of its blood and half of its internal organs.

If this monster were in perfect condition, perhaps it could still resist the damage Li Wei inflicted on it with its strong defense and vitality, avoiding such a miserable state. However, although the flesh giant was known for its powerful vitality, this level of injury far exceeded its tolerance.

Its miserable and tattered body slowly collapsed to the ground. The flesh giant was not dead yet; there was still a lingering breath. It lay on the ground, its body twitching, breathing heavily through its mouth and nose, struggling with the last bit of stubborn vitality. However, death was inevitable.

A hammer struck its head, flattening its face. Another strike completely killed the monster at its last gasp.

The one who acted was Wang Erde. Standing up, he said, "It's better to kill the monster thoroughly."

Li Wei smiled bitterly, raised his hand, and said, "I'm out of strength..."

Wang Erde laughed heartily, put away his warhammer, and walked up to Li Wei, pulling him up, saying, "Nice to meet you, I'm Wang Erde. You're a hunter from the Four Leaf Clover Guild, right? You're impressive."

"I'm Li Wei."

"You're Li Wei?" Zheng Zaishun, who had just come over to Wang Erde, said incredulously.

Li Wei recognized Zheng Zaishun's voice. He was the one who had said some inappropriate things on the communication device.

He didn't intend to dwell on this, but he wasn't going to be enthusiastic either. He just smiled faintly, as if acknowledging it.

Instead, Zheng Zaishun was now extremely embarrassed, while also secretly blaming Wells. If Wells hadn't told him that Li Wei hadn't even completed the extreme hammer training, how could he have said such thoughtless words at that time?

Looking at Li Wei's amazing strength, demonstrated by his astonishing shot that broke the machine gun on the flesh giant's back and his recent combined strike of wind and darkness, it was truly remarkable. Even if they, the four who had activated their genetic locks and attacked the flesh giant together, who among them could achieve such a beautiful attack?

This destructive power was definitely the limit of the first development level. Even many skills of the second development level probably couldn't reach this level.

Zheng Zaishun regretted it now. He thought hard, considering if there was any way to try to ease the relationship.

Bandeli, Qian Long, and Cai Yutong also walked over from not far away.

Cai Yutong asked, "Is this the ability you used to kill the giant mutated centipede?"

"Yes."

Cai Yutong smiled bitterly, "As expected, you're as strong as ever."

Bandeli and Qian Long had returned to the guild earlier and didn't know about the incident, so they asked after hearing the explanation from Cai Yutong.

After Cai Yutong explained it to them, Bandeli said, "I regret it a bit. Nothing happened when I accompanied Old Qian back to the guild. The monsters around the guild were almost all cleared out at that time. If I had known you would encounter a giant radiation centipede, I would have gone with you. I could have gained some achievements casually, tsk tsk..."

He was joking, of course, but his surprise was genuine.

Before, if Cai Yutong had said that she and Li Wei had killed a giant centipede that surpassed the limit level, challenging a monster that could be upgraded to the next level, he would not have believed it. Even if the monster had failed in its transformation, the gap between the two levels was too great.

However, now that he had seen Li Wei's power with his own eyes, he had no reason not to believe it.

If everyone was amazed and praised Li Wei for the power he displayed, then Wells, who stood aside and did not join the discussion, could be described as being in a tumult of emotions.

He looked at Li Wei, surrounded by everyone, with a complex expression, feeling incredulous.

In the past, among all the peers in the Four Leaf Clover Guild, except for Cai Yutong, no one had been worth his attention. Wells was a person with lofty ambitions, and it was precisely because of this that he felt jealous of Cai Yutong, who always suppressed him. Therefore, he always followed her, snatching her prey and her missions.

It wasn't for the meager rewards of the missions. For someone like Wells, who came from a family of demon hunters, the rewards for low-level missions were less than his pocket money. He did this to be annoying, to prove to Cai Yutong and the other members of the guild that he was not inferior to Cai Yutong.

It was precisely because of this wanton behavior that led to irreparable consequences. Wells had suffered torment over the past few days, regretting his past obsession, jealousy, and stupidity.

And now, seeing Li Wei's power firsthand, he felt even more ridiculous about his past self.

What was the point of fighting and arguing for that pride? Looking up, less than a month ago, Li Wei hadn't even completed extreme hammer training, yet he could already defeat him.

And now, he could only slaughter small fry with Cai Yutong here, while the others? The four experts who had activated their genetic locks and had been besieging the monster for so long, the monster that had survived all their attacks, under Li Wei's blow, all died directly.

No matter how Li Wei did it, no matter how other comrades and companions created opportunities for him, Wells would never have been able to achieve the goal of killing with a single blow under the same circumstances.

This meant that Li Wei had pulled a whole level ahead of him.

Wells was deeply shocked. He didn't even know how to accept this fact.

Looking at Li Wei, who was surrounded by everyone like a hero, Wells felt that he was a complete failure.

As a competitor, he had failed; as a friend, he had failed; even as a person, he had failed.

He staggered back a few steps, and even stumbled over a corpse lying on the ground, almost falling.

Stumbling, Wells walked away, his eyes blank.

When he heard the commotion here, Li Wei and the others turned their heads.

"What's wrong with Wells?" Zheng Zaishun, who came from the Iron Cross Avenue branch, was completely confused.

"Alas..." Cai Yutong, who had the most contact with Wells, vaguely guessed what he was thinking. She could only sigh, not knowing what to say.
