"You're talking nonsense!"
Golden Horn raised his saber.
Clearly not ordinary, as it was used by the Golden-Silver Brothers.
But now the blade had ugly, broken nicks, much like an old man's front teeth.
"If you don't want to talk, then don't. But lying? I think you're the one who doesn't respect your opponent!"
"As expected of a groundhog from the dirt, not only foolish and ugly, but also completely lacking in manners!"
Zhang Wei raised his hand, "I prefer my opponents to believe what I say with my fists."
"Seventy percent power, unspiral punch!"
The punch dispersed rather than converged. It had immense volume but insufficient killing power.
However, dispersal had its advantages. Although the Golden-Silver Brothers swung their sabers to meet the attack, they couldn't completely cleave through the wave of energy. Zhang Wei's punch sent them flying back for a hundred meters!
"Take Qingcheng and the Tailor back. This guy is mine to deal with."
The commander of the city defense forces bowed respectfully, "Please be cautious, Mr. Zhang Wei. You are far more important than the twenty thousand soldiers and civilians of Yucheng!"
"Don't worry."
"This fellow can't harm me one bit!"
After repelling the Golden-Silver Brothers, Zhang Wei leaped forward and landed before the Tailor and Qingcheng, thus successfully rescuing them.
However, Zhang Wei was now about to face the completely enraged Golden-Silver Brothers!
At this moment, the Golden-Silver Brothers unleashed their full power. Their bodies grew another meter taller, and their bloated, obese forms instantly transformed. The fat from their abdomens was evenly redistributed to various parts of their bodies, revealing well-defined, strong muscles!
"Chef, be careful. This is a method to temporarily increase strength by transferring and rapidly burning defensive fat. While sacrificing a small amount of defense, it provides a great boost in power."
It was somewhat similar to Haru's skill.
Gaining strength by rapidly burning fat. The more fat, the more strength, and the longer it lasts.
The damage to the body before the fat is completely burned is also very low.
It could be said that in the Great Gourmet Era, the strongest were the fat ones. This world favored the plump.
"Saber Art!"
"Mountain Split!!!!"
The same move, but a world of difference from before!
"Sixty percent power, spiral punch!"
Zhang Wei made no changes, simply throwing out another punch.
Boom!!!!
The metal drill met the saber energy. This time, the saber energy was incomparably tough and sharp. It actually made the drill chip and shatter in the air.
The remaining force of the saber energy caused no significant damage to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei said, "As expected of the fat ones favored by heaven, their strength has increased by at least ninety percent. They now possess the ability to fight above their level."
The Golden-Silver Brothers roared, "Do you know how much I spent to accumulate all this fat! Do you know!"
"Today, I will kill you all and offer a sacrifice to my fat!"
Food equated to money and resources.
Excessive food equated to fat.
Therefore, fat was roughly equivalent to wealth and status. Given the terrifying consumption of a level sixty body, accumulating so much energy truly required immense effort.
"Saber Art • Extreme!"
"Hundred Thousand Wild Hunt!"
With a swing of the saber, countless streams of air erupted from the blade, densely filling the entire sky!
This move was as brilliant as the starry river!
The Golden-Silver Brothers had extremely high cell levels, so their fat contained terrifying energy. To unleash this move, they had consumed at least fifty kilograms of fat!
This amount of energy could sustain ten thousand ordinary people for a month.
Now, unleashed all at once, it had a world-shattering effect.
The Golden-Silver Brothers shouted, "Come on, taste this move! Even Marzipan's atomic fission might not have this much energy!"
"Your only choice now is to use these soldiers to block and share the damage! I won't mock you, after all, it's to save your life, not out of shame!"
"Hahahaha~~"
Zhang Wei tilted his head, "Are you afraid I'll use the army to share the damage?"
"This… Nonsense!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this move of yours, while possessing great total energy, has countless flaws."
Zhang Wei continued to analyze, "You were talking to me because the wind-up and activation are slow, with a long casting time. You're afraid of me using soldiers to block, so this move isn't of the explosive or cutting type; it's vulnerable to mid-combat consumption."
"Come to think of it, your move is quite flashy."
He was right!
Completely right!
The Golden-Silver Brothers were aghast.
With just a few words, he had completely seen through them!
What kind of combat analysis ability was this? The Golden-Silver Brothers felt like they were completely transparent.
The commander of the city defense forces, as if waking from a dream, shouted, "Didn't you hear the Chef? Stand up and block the damage, all of you."
The commander of the city defense forces set an example, but his legs couldn't stop trembling.
The other soldiers exchanged glances. Although hesitation was evident in their eyes, they charged forward without hesitation.
They all understood that this was to buy Zhang Wei time to counter-attack with their lives... but there was no other way. In these chaotic times, their lives had only this much value.
At least after they died, their families would receive generous compensation.
Zhang Wei smiled, "City defense forces, listen to my command! Retreat and defend, you are not needed here for now."
"Lord Zhang Wei!"
"This is an order! You'll only get in the way here."
Zhang Wei slowly floated up, a technique inherited from Hurricane's Wind Control, which he could only achieve to this extent for now.
And in this delay, the Golden-Silver Brothers' technique had finished accumulating energy.
With a roar from the Golden-Silver Brothers, the starry sky unleashed its fury!
The target was Zhang Wei!
"Saber Art Extreme • Hundred Thousand Wild Hunt!"
Zhang Wei took a deep breath.
"Fifty percent power, spiral punch!"
"Dual Strike!"
Two drills shot out, being torn to shreds amidst the starry sky.
"Looks like I need to use some real skill."
"Eighty percent… no, full power!"
"All power, spiral punch!!!!"
Zhang Wei unleashed his full strength for the first time! He pulled his right fist back behind him and then slammed it forward fiercely!
A terrifying drill, the size of a tunnel boring machine, appeared out of thin air and met the starry sky head-on!
The starlight nibbled at the drill like ants, tearing off slivers of metal with each bite. But this drill was simply too massive!
Its thickness alone was comparable to a three-story building, and its length was astonishing.
If it were a real object, it would weigh at least eight thousand tons!
The Golden-Silver Brothers had no time to exclaim. Watching the increasingly large drill, they could only direct all their saber energy to meet it!
But these attacks were like itching through a boot against the colossal metal drill; they caused no substantial impact.
The starlight in the sky grew sparser, and Zhang Wei observed with a smile.
Then he said, "Why is it only over fifty thousand? It seems 'Hundred Thousand Wild Hunt' is just an approximation."
"If you had perfected this move, I believe..."
"It would at least make the drill a bit thinner."
