Night Without End
Chapter 68 - 68 44 Heartbeat

68: Chapter 44 Heartbeat 68: Chapter 44 Heartbeat The elderly man was tall and charged with a terrifying speed, resembling a Black Tiger pouncing on its prey.

His cold gaze alone could make ordinary people’s legs weak.

Qin Ming gripped the long handle of the Wujin Hammer, moving like an agile leopard.

First, he leaped forward explosively, then quickly changed direction, choosing not to collide head-on.

He swung the Wujin Hammer from one side towards his opponent.

The elder frowned.

To his surprise, this young man’s speed matched his own.

As they were about to collide, the young man could instantly change direction, crossing from the right side and swinging the hammer at him!

Qin Ming felt the intense vibration from the metal handle.

The elder had actually slapped the side of the Wujin Hammer with his bare hand, which was quite terrifying.

This first strike was just a test; he wanted to gauge how extraordinary the Heavenly Light Force of the Third time Newcomer was.

The result made his expression even more serious.

The elder rushed past, shielded by the white Heavenly Light Protection.

The cracks in the footprints on the ground hinted at the magnitude of his strength when sprinting.

He was taken aback, realizing that if it had been any other lower-level Newcomer, their weapons would have already been shaken from their hands under his Heavenly Light Force.

After crossing paths, they essentially switched positions.

The elder looked down at the patty-faced Golden Chicken Knight on the ground, horrendous to behold, hardly resembling a human anymore.

He lifted his head, his eyes cold and ruthless.

Qin Ming sighed, merely trying to tidy up the remains of the Golden Chicken Knight, not wanting his peculiar death to be discovered too soon, but then this elder had barged in.

He had originally planned to discreetly observe this Third time Newcomer, cautiously probing, but now he was forced into a head-on confrontation.

The two moved silently, gradually approaching each other, like two dangerous beasts storing energy, ready to pounce at any moment.

“I come from Chixia City, are you not afraid of retaliation for killing me?” Qin Ming suddenly spoke.

He was wearing armor gifted by Cao Long and Mu Qing, which indeed was quite deceptive, but of course, he didn’t think it would intimidate the opponent.

However, it might cause a moment of hesitation and consideration for the opponent; after all, the prominent families of Chixia City, the center of this region, were not to be trifled with.

But such a shrewd character would ultimately not show mercy.

As Qin Ming spoke, he suddenly burst into action.

As expected, the opponent only slightly paused his step, but that was enough for Qin Ming.

He seized the opportunity to strike first, smashing the Big Hammer down.

They were already very close; as Qin Ming erupted, the elder had no choice but to withstand the blow forcibly, it was slightly too late to dodge.

“Thud!”

The dull sound echoed in the empty cave, the ground slightly trembling.

The elder wrapped one palm around the Big Hammer while stretching out the other hand.

However, this time the force of the hammer strike was far greater than the initial test.

Qin Ming put his full strength into it, causing the white light on the elder’s palm to surge wildly, nearly dispersing.

The elder wanted to encompass the Big Hammer like wrapping a dumpling and fight it off, but the “dumpling skin” almost broke.

He quickly retreated.

This young man without Heavenly Light had unimaginably strong power, which numbed and ached the elder’s palms from the impact.

Since Qin Ming had taken the initiative, he would not hesitate.

One hammer strike followed another, completely in the manner of a chaotic strike that could kill the master.

Each strike produced the Wind and Thunder Sound, swift and fierce, causing the elder to almost vomit blood.

He moved laterally like a ghost, retreating, but was unable to escape as the opponent completely matched his speed.

Qin Ming inwardly marveled; the elder had already taken seven strikes with his bare hands, which was somewhat abnormal.

Purely in terms of strength, even though the opponent was a Third time Newcomer, he couldn’t compare to him.

But with the Heavenly Light Protection and enhancement, the opponent could withstand the heavy Wujin Hammer.

Qin Ming was truly moved, desiring to give birth to Heavenly Light within himself.

The elder’s face turned red from the oppressive power, and his hands took turns slapping at the Big Hammer but still struggled, both hands trembling.

At this moment, he was no longer concerned about his dignity.

Finally finding suitable terrain with no obstructive rocks, he threw himself to the side of the ground, rolling and tumbling like a racing snake.

Although in disarray, he finally broke free from the opponent’s rhythm.

He looked down at his two hands; even nourished by Heavenly Light, they were still swollen and he felt his bones might be damaged.

“Truly abnormal, it didn’t explode?” Qin Ming’s expression wasn’t very good as he rapidly closed in.

The elder’s gaze was cold and sharp, wanting to say, “Who exactly is the abnormal one?” A person without Heavenly Light, yet his strength could reach this level.

He had already drawn the long blade from his back, silently swearing never to carry it on his back again.

In a critical moment, it was too late to draw it; just now, his hands had swung like a windmill, contending against the continuously incoming Wujin Hammer.

With the blade in hand, the elder used Heavenly Light to clear the blood congestion, temporarily soothing the pain.

“Unfortunately, this old man’s Heavenly Light Force isn’t fully trained; otherwise, who needs a weapon!” he stated.

Every Third time Newcomer would give birth to Heavenly Light, but mastering that mysterious Heavenly Light Force was challenging.

Qin Ming knew that with increasing levels, cultivating some rare and special Heavenly Light Forces could shred weapons like tearing paper.

But reaching that level during the Third time Newcomer phase was clearly impossible, even learning so-called Giant Spirit God Power and Tathagata Power wouldn’t suffice; it required a corresponding higher realm of support.

Qin Ming naturally wouldn’t give him time to recover his hands, holding the long-handled Wujin Hammer and gripping the Short Sword, slashing, smashing, cutting, and pounding, striking him fifty-eight times with the hammer and forty-two times with the sword, leaving him no chance to catch his breath.
