"Damn bastard..." Brens took out a hemostatic agent to stop the bleeding from his severed hand, his face furious, "A mere Tier Four Late Stage guy, daring to ambush me, looking for death!"
The gap between Late Stage and Peak is not just a tiny bit. Brens, who had always been arrogant, thought there was no rival below Tier Five, but never expected to have his right hand cut off by this unfamiliar Tier Four Late Stage kid in front of him!
Brens had been cultivating Ancient Martial Arts related to Palm Technique, losing his right hand was equivalent to crippling half of his strength. Could it not make him angry?
But as long as he passed the graduation trial, upon returning to the Safe Zone, his severed limb could still regrow with advanced medical technology, though the cost was quite expensive.
"Brens, you step back first, let me handle him." Gary licked his lips.
Gary slowly revealed three cold daggers from his sleeve, coated with a venom that could paralyze nerves. As long as the venom entered the bloodstream, it would take only three seconds to paralyze the entire body, leaving one at his mercy!
Brens glanced at Wang Xu, nodded, and then viciously whispered, "Once paralyzed, let me kill him, I will make him experience what hell is!"
Gary smiled, waving his hand nonchalantly, the three daggers immediately turned into three streaks of light shooting out, attacking Wang Xu from three directions!
Wang Xu's reactions were exceedingly quick. The moment Gary waved his hand, he already sensed the daggers' presence. As the three daggers came at him, Wang Xu's figure transformed, countless phantoms appeared, leaving Gary stupefied, and all the daggers missed.
Woosh woosh!
The daggers made a loop, following their path back to attack again. Wang Xu didn't even look, his body swayed lightly a few times, and not a single dagger could hit him, all returning to Gary's hands.
"Damn, how exaggerated is this guy's reaction speed?!" Gary cursed.
"You've made your move, now it's my turn!" Wang Xu coldly said, then his speed exploded, a faint rumble of thunder echoed, and the longsword in his hand struck Gary like a bolt of lightning.
Thunderbolt Strike!
This move is an upgraded version of Blood Drop Strike, more powerful and faster than Blood Drop Strike.
Gary rapidly retreated. He practiced Ancient Martial Arts of the projectile type, close combat was his weakness, and he must widen the combat distance.
As Gary retreated, he kept throwing daggers in his hand.
But in Wang Xu's eyes, these daggers were too slow, and their trajectories were fixed. With a casual twirl of the Blood Bone Giant Saber, he knocked down each dagger one by one.
"Looks like I need to bring out my 'trump card.'" Gary's gaze turned cold. Ordinary daggers had limited damage to Wang Xu, so he quietly reached into his chest.
Whish!
Another dagger appeared, but this one was different from the previous ones, entirely blood-red, like a crystalline blood color. Without a second glance, Wang Xu swung his hand to knock the dagger down.
But when his longsword touched the blood-colored dagger, it suddenly shattered into thousands of fragments, attacking Wang Xu!
"Fooled!" Wang Xu's expression changed, his figure halted, raising his longsword to form a circular shield, blocking all the blood-colored fragments.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two more snow-white daggers attacked Wang Xu in an arc from both sides!
Too fast! No time to dodge!
The daggers stabbed into Wang Xu's body, their power nearly halved by the B-level battle armor, leaving only a vibration on Wang Xu's skin, causing no harm.
The blood-colored dagger fragments were too many, Wang Xu struggled to fend them off completely. His face bore several cuts, deep to the bone, clothes torn, armor shattered, blood seeping through, but fortunately, no vital areas were hit.
"Battle armor!" Gary's eyes widened, then without a second glance at Brens, turned and fled!
His blood-colored daggers were A-level weapons, his long-saved 'trump card.' Below Tier Five, those struck by the fragments would be pierced through, dying like a sieve, even Tier Five Genetic Warriors would find it troublesome.
But here with Wang Xu, his trump card was of no effect!
Brens was stupefied as Gary abandoned him and moved away, angrily shouting, "Gary, how dare you..."
But before he finished speaking, a longsword suddenly appeared above his head, slicing down with force!
Slash!
Tang Yan almost screamed out loud. She had seen killing before, but never witnessed someone cut in half alive like Wang Xu did – it was too bloody!
Gary glanced back once, almost losing his soul in fright.
Brens was cleaved in half with one stroke, his body flying as blood and brain matter splattered everywhere.
This guy... is a devil! A man-eating devil!
After slicing Brens in two with a single stroke, Wang Xu didn't stop, chasing after Gary. Gary's face changed drastically, speeding up without any hesitation.
Gary belonged to the assassin-type Genetic Warriors, not high in power burst, but exceptionally strong in speed, even with Wang Xu's swift Body Technique, it was challenging to catch up with Gary in a short time.
After about three minutes of pursuit, Wang Xu suddenly heard a fierce sound of fighting in the distance.
"Captain!" Gary's eyes sparkled as if seeing a savior, and he urgently shouted.
Not far away, a burly man with golden hair was relentlessly punching, each punch accompanied by tangible flames, forcing a handsome young man in black to be constantly on the defensive.
"Haha..." Willens laughed wildly, "A kid from the Seventh Safe Zone dares to defy my will, can still brag now? So what if you took a Body Enhancement Agent, you're still getting beaten without any chance to fight back!"
As he spoke, the flames on his fists blasted forth mercilessly.
The handsome young man in black had a somber expression; he was indeed the only Tier Five student from the Seventh Safe Zone, Ying Xing.
Ying Xing was a genius in the Inner Courtyard, and with his Tier Five strength, he could have joined the Genius Battle Group without any trials. The dean invited him, and hearing that the trials would have many participants just as strong if not stronger, his intense battle spirit drove him to undertake the graduation trial.
But he hadn't expected to run into such a formidable opponent, someone far stronger, leaving him with no room to counterattack.
Beside Ying Xing, surrounded on the ground, were three Western-looking individuals, two men and one woman, leisurely watching their captain toy with this naive kid from the Seventh Safe Zone.
"Hmm? It's Gary's voice." Willens glanced up, seeing Gary sprinting furiously towards him. He frowned, "Why are you the only one back? Where's Brens?"
"Captain, save me, save me!" Gary cried out urgently.
"Gary, you look like you've seen a ghost with that scared expression," a young white man in the group mocked.
"His dark-skinned appearance makes me want to puke, truly disgusting!" scoffed the white woman.
Ignoring their jibes, Gary dashed desperately in Willens' direction, his expression brightening the closer he got.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a fierce sound of wind followed Gary. Just when he was about to be saved, his expression froze, and he slowly lowered his head to see a blood-covered blade protruding from his chest, eyes filled with disbelief.
"No... no!" Blood gushed from Gary's mouth as he fell unwillingly to the ground, his eyes never closing.
Everyone froze until Wang Xu's figure approached from the distance, pulling the Blood Bone Giant Saber from the corpse, and only then did they snap back to reality.
"Damn that guy, he actually killed Gary!" an enraged white youth shouted, drawing a longsword and charging at Wang Xu.
Wang Xu snorted coldly, turning around with a slash.
Thunder Strike!
The blade swept with a faint flash of lightning. Before the white youth's longsword could touch Wang Xu, it was sliced in half by Wang Xu!
"Glenn!!" the white woman screamed, glaring at Wang Xu in rage, but she wasn't impulsive. Although Glenn was the weakest here, only at the Early Stage of Tier Four, this person had taken him down in just one move; charging forward would be suicide!
The other white man watched Wang Xu coldly, silent.
"Senior Sister Yun!" Tang Yan arrived just behind Wang Xu, immediately spotting Senior Sister Yun, covered in blood on the ground.
"Tang Yan, you're alive... was it him who saved you? Who is he?" Senior Sister Yun weakly whispered.
"He's Wang Xu; he just saved me. Don't worry, he'll definitely save you all!" Tang Yan held onto Senior Sister Yun's hand, tears streaming down her face.
Wang Xu's expression was dark as he saw the critically injured Li Ming lying nearby.
"Heh, Brother Wang, you're impressive. I wasn't wrong about you... heh." Li Ming, seeing Wang Xu, managed a pale smile.
Li Ming was riddled with wounds, his armor in tatters. If not for his slightly open swollen eyes, he would look no different from a corpse.
Wang Xu raised his head, eyes burning with a fiery rage as if tangible, ready to devour people alive!
He looked at the two standing white individuals; they were the ones who had severely injured Senior Sister Yun and Li Ming!
"Hmph!" The other white youth snorted coldly, drawing his longsword as he attacked like a ghost, a pinpoint glint of sword light slicing toward Wang Xu!
Wang Xu was not to be outdone, swinging the Blood Bone Giant Saber, confronting the sword light head-on!
The immense force sent a jolt through Wang Xu's hand. He immediately sidestepped right, gripping the saber's handle with both hands, rising from an angle with a ground-cleaving move!
The white youth's expression shifted, attempting to retreat, but as he stepped back, Wang Xu's Blood Bone Giant Saber's blade spun, a faint thunderous sound echoing.
Thunderbolt Strike!
The strike was like lightning, impossible for the white youth to evade, leaving him in terror as the long blade pierced his heart, the entirety of him hanging upon the Blood Bone Giant Saber!
"Poof!" With a shudder of the blade, the white youth's body split in two, flying sideways with blood splattering everywhere.
The remaining white woman could no longer stay calm, retreating rapidly, fear evident in her eyes as she looked at Wang Xu.
Not far away, Willens had ceased his assault, standing like a raging lion, his eyes bloodshot.
"Dare to kill my men, you're courting death!"
