Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 156 Battle Against Steel Bear

However, its defense is amazing, and its explosive power is also quite terrifying.

Although he's a slowpoke, he can be quite a headache to deal with if you really want to.

Staring at the armored bear in front of him, Xu Yao said quietly, "Really, you're quite the player. Why didn't you come earlier? Of all times, you had to come shortly after those two guys swallowed their breakthrough pills."

"If I let you cause trouble, I'll have a real headache. So please, just die here."

As soon as Xu Yao uttered these words, he immediately swung his longsword and launched a fierce attack on the armored bear.

The steel-armored bear let out an extremely angry roar at Xu Yao.

The foul odor from his mouth, along with his saliva, was flying everywhere.

Facing Xu Yao charging towards him, Steel Armor Bear suddenly raised his right hand and slammed it down hard on Xu Yao.

Seeing the Steel Armor Bear's actions, Xu Yao secretly gasped.

With a loud bang, the Steel Armor Bear's paw slammed into the ground, creating a large crater.

At that moment, Xu Yao had already jumped high into the air before the Steel Armor Bear's paw came down.

Appearing in mid-air, he slashed fiercely at the face of the armored bear.

With a clang, the sound of steel clashing against steel rang out.

Amidst the flying sparks, Xu Yao frowned.

The sword was meant to strike the steel armor on the bear's face, but unexpectedly, it couldn't harm the bear's face at all, only leaving a scratch on the steel armor.

Because of Xu Yao's action, the steel-armored bear roared angrily at Xu Yao and made a move to slap out its other hand at him.

Seeing the Steel Bear's actions, Xu Yao snorted coldly.

He quickly used his sword to protect himself.

Then, a dull thud was heard.

Although he managed to defend against the Steel Bear's attack, Xu Yao couldn't withstand the guy's monstrous strength at all, and was sent flying by the Steel Bear.

Xu Yao staggered back more than ten steps after landing on the ground, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

"Damn it, this is a real headache. If we go head-to-head with it, we definitely won't stand a chance."

Just as Xu Yao was muttering these thoughts, the armored bear roared at him again and charged at him.

Seeing the steel-armored bear's movements, Xu Yao narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seems this big guy also wants to take advantage of the situation, but I won't give him the chance to do so.

With that thought in mind, Xu Yao's gaze fell into the depths of the jungle.

If we take advantage of the terrain, we should be able to handle this guy.

Thinking this, Xu Yao smiled contemptuously at the armored bear, and then gave it the middle finger.

"You incompetent thing, you can't even hit me, what use are you?"

As if understanding Xu Yao's words, the Steel Armor Bear let out an extremely angry howl and immediately charged towards Xu Yao at full speed.

Seeing the Steel Bear's actions, Xu Yao sneered inwardly.

"Windwalker!"

Using this combat technique to accelerate, he immediately rushed into the jungle.

The jungle is densely wooded, making it quite inconvenient for a giant like the Steel Armor Bear to move around.

The enraged steel-armored bear didn't think much of it; while chasing Xu Yao, it smashed down all the trees that were blocking its way.

The sound of trees collapsing stirred up huge waves of dust, which gave Xu Yao a more advantageous position.

At that moment, Xu Yao jumped onto a tree, and as the armored bear charged at him, he pushed off the branch with both legs, rising high into the air, and delivered another sword strike to the bear's face.

Although the sword strike failed to tear the armor on the Steel Bear's face, it deepened the sword mark previously left on the Steel Bear's face.

Having succeeded, Xu Yao didn't linger. Amidst the howls of the Steel Armored Bear, he continued the tug-of-war with it.

After a few exchanges, the Steel Armored Bear's facial armor had already taken more than a dozen sword strikes from Xu Yao. It was clear that the facial armor was cracking everywhere and about to break apart. The Steel Armored Bear roared in its immense rage.

At that moment, the armored bear, howling in anger, slammed both hands down on the ground.

Many trees in the vicinity were smashed and broken.

Xu Yao, who was hiding in one of the trees, took the opportunity to rise up and land once again at the same level as the Steel Armored Bear's face.

"Successful."

As Xu Yao uttered those three words, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

Without hesitation, he thrust his sword again at the steel bear's facial armor.

With a crash, the steel shattered.

The steel-armored bear's facial armor crumbled into pieces and fell to the ground, leaving its face completely unprotected.

Just as Steel Armor Bear tried to cover his face with his hands, Xu Yao thrust his sword at him without hesitation.

The sword tip pierced the steel-armored bear's face, easily tearing through its flesh and piercing its head.

In excruciating pain, the steel-armored bear let out a hysterical howl.

It slapped at Xu Yao in front of it with both hands.

Even if he were to die, he would drag Xu Yao down with him.

However, Xu Yao didn't give him the chance to do so at all.

As the two hands slammed towards him, Xu Yao immediately discarded his longsword. Using the longsword embedded in the steel-armored bear's face as leverage, he stomped forward and raised it high again.

The steel-armored bear missed its target and slapped its own head with both hands.

With a dull thud, blood and flesh flew everywhere.

This armored bear actually managed to smash its own head open.

With a loud thud, the Steel Armor Bear's heavy body crashed to the ground, a truly pitiful sight.

Blood surged wildly in all directions.

Then Xu Yao, who had landed on the ground, shook his head.

"Thank goodness, it's just a silly beast. If someone had your abilities, how would I fight them?"

"But speaking of which, it is indeed a low-grade Xuan-level longsword, very sturdy. It was hit like that and it's completely unharmed."

As soon as he uttered these words, Xu Yao drew his longsword.

He rubbed his longsword against the steel-armored bear's corpse a few times to wipe away the blood before sheathing it.

After finishing all this, Xu Yao let out a breath of stale air.

"This side is settled, but I wonder how those two guys, Du Cheng and Du Gong, are doing."

He immediately went back to protect Du Cheng and Du Gong.

"Xu Yao, is it all done?"

"Of course! If I didn't handle this, would I even be able to come back?"

Hearing this, Du Cheng and Du Gong nodded in relief and focused on their cultivation.

Some time has passed...

With a loud bang, Du Cheng and Du Gong opened their eyes.
