Chapter 616, Catching the Bolt by Hand? Is He Even Human?!

Translator: Silavin

 

When Lu Fan saw the God Slaying Ballista aimed at him once again, his expression did not change in the slightest.

 

Previously, this God Slaying Ballista could indeed make him exercise some caution and vigilance.

 

After all, though he could sense that this God Slaying Ballista could not break through his Defence, he could not clearly determine what kind of Damage it might inflict upon him.

 

But just now, he had personally taken a bolt, and although the Little Blade Armour Dragon King had suffered some minor Damage, it had allowed him to understand that one strike from this God Slaying Ballista was roughly equivalent to a full-power strike released by a Player possessing two million in their Strength Attribute and two million in their Mana Attribute.

 

Though formidable, it could not harm him with the Little Blade Armour Dragon King by his side.

 

Therefore, regarding the God Slaying Ballista, Lu Fan harboured no wariness whatsoever, allowing Wang Tianlang to pull the trigger once more and fire the second bolt.

 

*Boom!*

 

The sound of the bowstring instantly snapping taut was like thunder, and the bolt once again transformed into a streak of red light, instantly flashing towards Lu Fan.

 

This time, Lu Fan would not let himself get struck by it. Yet, he made no movement whatsoever.

 

Under the Passive Effect of Black Dragon Perception, though the bolt was swift as lightning, in Lu Fan’s eyes, it still had a traceable pattern.

 

As Lu Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his right hand suddenly extended, grasping in front of himself. He had precisely seized the flying bolt!

 

The tremendous force made Lu Fan retreat three steps.

 

But it was merely three steps. With this, the bolt completely lost all its momentum and was steadily caught by Lu Fan.

 

Since it had not struck Lu Fan’s body, the bolt did not explode and cause Magic Damage. Its entire bolt simply radiated red light as it was gripped in Lu Fan’s hand.

 

It was like the Sun, astonishingly hot.

 

However, Lu Fan’s Defence was incomparable. His right hands were both protected by the Blade Armour Dragon King and Xiao You. No matter how scorching this bolt might be, it could not harm him in the slightest.

 

Lu Fan weighed the bolt in his hand and smiled, saying. “This bolt is a fine item. It is quite substantial in weight.”

 

While Lu Fan conversed with ease and confidence, Yuan Jingang and Li Qingfeng, as well as Wang Tianlang in the distance, all wore expressions as if they had seen ghosts, staring at Lu Fan!

 

In all their years of living, let alone witnessing such a thing, even if they were asked to imagine it, they had never conceived that someone could catch a bolt from the God Slaying Ballista with their bare hand!

 

This bolt was proclaimed as the strongest weapon within the God’s Tomb Secret Realm!

 

Throughout the years, who had not entered the God’s Tomb Secret Realm and did not speak of the God Slaying Ballista with fear and dread!?

 

Only those with two million in their Endurance Attribute could withstand a strike from it. Even Fifth Profession Players would have to kneel before the God Slaying Ballista!

 

No one had ever heard of anyone surviving after being struck by the God Slaying Ballista! Those who had survived without dying must have used an Invulnerability Skill or special items to resurrect.

 

Even so, those able to survive under the God Slaying Ballista were all revered as top-tier experts, receiving people’s admiration.

 

But Lu Fan was different. Just now, he took a direct hit and was fine, which was acceptable. He might have done what others before him did, activate an Invulnerability Skill or used a special item. This was still within the realm of Human comprehension.

 

Later, when he emerged out of the Secret Realm, the fact that he had survived would certainly spread. He would have inevitably stepped on the reputation of the God Slaying Ballista to become famous throughout Second Tier Ancient Noble Families.

 

But the crucial point was…

 

He managed to catch a bolt with one hand! What the Hell was that!?

 

This absolutely could not be explained by Invulnerability Skills or special items!

 

Now, the three people had only one thought in their minds…

 

[Are we all in a nightmare? But even dreams should not be this absurd…]

 

Catching the God Slaying Ballista with one hand. Who would dare imagine such a thing!?

 

But when they desperately tried to awaken themselves from this dream, they discovered that this was no dream at all! This was reality right in front of their faces!

 

There really was someone who could catch a bolt with one hand, and this person was merely a Third Profession Player under Level 70!!

 

The worldview of all three shattered into countless pieces.

 

Lu Fan held the bolt in one hand, paying no heed whatsoever to the three men’s expressions.

 

He looked at Wang Tianlang with great interest, pointing at the God Slaying Ballista and saying. “Its power is decent. But why did you think that possessing something like that would give you the capital to resist me? Had you honestly served as my guide and properly take me around the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, after I obtained the Divine Tempering Liquid, I might not have been unwilling to spare your life.”

 

“What a pity. You sought death yourself. You cannot blame me for it. By now, you should have already realised. In this God’s Tomb Secret Realm, the one who can truly sweep through everything is not the one who possesses the God Slaying Ballista, but me, and only me!” Having spoken thus far, Lu Fan raised the bolt in his hand like a javelin.

 

Instantly, overwhelming pressure surged forth, causing Wang Tianlang’s back to be instantly soaked with cold sweat.

 

Merely seeing Lu Fan raise the bolt in his hand, he felt as if he had already glimpsed the gates of Hell.

 

Knowing that he was about to be killed, he instinctively wanted to condense a third bolt again, determined not to be killed without resistance.

 

However, when he wanted to take out the Treasure Chests and transform it into a bolt, he discovered that his body was completely unresponsive.

 

The pressure he was under was simply too great. His entire body had become numb from instinctive fear and could no longer be controlled.

 

Indeed, Wang Tianlang could not even turn his head and could only watch helplessly as Lu Fan raised the bolt, stepped forward for the throw, and executed it all in one fluid motion!

 

*Boom!*

 

A sound even greater than that of the God Slaying Ballista arose, except this sound was not that of a bowstring snapping taut, but rather the sound of the bolt tearing through the air.

 

Merely the sound of the bolt tearing through the air and streaking across the sky was already like thunder!

 

The power of this bolt could be imagined.

 

Even if Wang Tianlang could not personally perceive everything from his lacking strength, he could tell that the power of the bolt Lu Fan had hurled was even greater than when it came out of the God Slaying Ballista!

 

[Using Human strength to surpass the God Slaying Ballista… Is this truly something Humans can do!?]

 

That was Wang Tianlang’s final thought.

 

The next second, the bolt had already smashed into his body.

 

Immediately following, a massive mushroom cloud rose.

 

*Rumble…*

 

The mushroom cloud directly enveloped Wang Tianlang within it, directly incinerating his shattered body to nothing, not even leaving ash behind.

 

Not only that, the tremendous power of the bolt directly pierced into the great lake, and for a moment, a tsunami surged forth.

 

The explosive flames from the bolt directly boiled the lake water, and after it settled, the water level dropped dramatically!
