Zhao Tianqi's brows were tightly furrowed.

Something was wrong!

This kid, shouldn't he be fleeing for his life at the sight of him?

Now, he dared to attack proactively?

Where did he get the guts!

Moreover, the feeling this guy gave off seemed a little different from before.

How could Zhao Tianqi have known.

In the midst of this desperate chase and escape, Yasuo's Rank had already achieved a Breakthrough to LV10!

He had also comprehended a brand new, terrifying skill!

【Thunder Armor LV1】: Refine oneself with the power of Thunder, transforming into an indestructible Thunder Armor! Upon activation, consumes 10 Mana per second. Greatly increases one's Attack Power and Movement Speed! The raging Thunder encircling the body can nullify a portion of incoming damage and retaliate against attackers, applying a 【Paralysis】 effect! The moment the Armor dissipates, it will trigger a Thunderous Explosion, dealing devastating area-of-effect damage to surrounding enemies and applying a group 【Paralysis】!

"Ziz la--!"

Dazzling Thunder light suddenly erupted from Yasuo's body!

Countless dense electric snakes slithered and intertwined across his body, rapidly coalescing into a majestic and extraordinary azure Thunder Armor!

A terrifying Thunderous pressure permeated the air!

"Good timing!"

Zhao Tianqi's heart tightened, but he remained unafraid.

He had roamed the guild for many years, fighting countless bloody battles, how experienced he was!

A mere greenhorn, could he really turn the tables?

"Boom!"

The two figures collided instantly!

Saber Qi and Sword Qi, Thunder roared!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing was incessant!

The more Zhao Tianqi fought, the more his heart was alarmed!

This kid's speed was more than a notch faster! His strength had also surged by a large margin!

Every Sword strike was heavy and powerful, imbued with raging Thunder power, numbing his tiger's mouth!

"Hahaha! This is more like it! Is this your true strength?!"

Zhao Tianqi was not surprised but delighted, his Battle Intent burning fiercely in his eyes!

"Don't think you're the only one with trump cards!"

"【Blood Rage Burst】!"

Blood Qi surged around Zhao Tianqi, his skin flushed red, and his strength and speed increased again!

The phantom of the long Saber in his hand solidified somewhat, carrying a pungent smell of blood!

"Die for me! 【Soul Rend Slash】!"

He seized a tiny opening in Yasuo's attack, concentrated all his strength, and a crimson Saber light tore through the sky, carrying a lethal will, slashing down towards Yasuo's head!

Before the Saber arrived, the sharp Saber Qi already stung his skin!

This Saber strike was earth-shattering in its power!

However!

Streams of data flickered wildly in Yasuo's ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) eyes!

He did not choose to evade!

Instead, he lowered his body and slammed directly into that terrifying crimson Saber light!

At the same time, the light of his Thunder Armor instantly intensified to the extreme! 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Seeking death!"

Zhao Tianqi sneered!

"Boom!!!"

The crimson Saber light squarely struck the Thunder Armor!

The Thunder light flickered violently, bright and dim!

It nullified a portion of the damage!

But the terrifying force still penetrated his body!

-901!!

A huge crimson number floated above Yasuo's head!

His health bar instantly plummeted by nearly half!

However!

Yasuo's expression remained unchanged, as if that heavy injury had not landed on him!

The cost of taking this Saber strike head-on was that the distance between the two was pulled to the limit!

In the instant the Saber's momentum was about to end—

【Lightning Rush】!

Chi la!

Yasuo transformed into a true Thunder, instantly sweeping past the area covered by the Saber light, appearing in front of Zhao Tianqi!

Infinitely close!

"What?!"

Zhao Tianqi was about to draw his Saber to attack again, but he felt a paralyzing force coming from his arm, and his movements suddenly stiffened!

It was the backlash effect of Thunder Armor!

This was the moment!

The Wind Breaker Longsword in Yasuo's hand flashed with a cold light!

"Puchi!"

-235!

"Puchi!"

-248!

"Puchi! Critical Hit!"

-370!

Sword after Sword, hitting flesh! Every Sword strike was incredibly precise!

Zhao Tianqi was horrified!

His total health was just over four thousand, and in the blink of an eye, more than fifteen hundred had been cut off!

Damn it! This paralysis effect!

Seeing that the paralysis was about to disappear, he was about to retreat rapidly!

Suddenly!

The light of the Thunder Armor on Yasuo's body dimmed, and it suddenly exploded!

"Boom!"

A violent Thunderous shockwave swept in all directions!

-310!

Zhao Tianqi screamed, once again enveloped by a dense paralyzing force!

A cold light flashed in Yasuo's eyes, and the long Sword in his hand flew like a Dragon!

Another two Swords struck down fiercely!

Immediately after!

【Thunderous Strike】!

A thick Thunder Sword Qi, imbued with destructive power, slammed into Zhao Tianqi!

-550!

Zhao Tianqi's health instantly dropped below a thousand points!

"No!!"

But in Zhao Tianqi's eyes, there was only boundless fear!

The hunter who had been arrogant and overbearing moments ago now became a desperate prey!

"Escape... I must escape!"

His liver and guts were torn, and he turned to run!

What mission, what Face, all were thrown to the winds!

He just wanted to live!

However!

Identities had already swapped!

The tide of attack and defense instantly reversed!

"Puff!"

A Sword light flashed, and Zhao Tianqi's right wrist, holding the Saber, was cleanly severed! The long Saber flew off with the severed hand!

"Ah!!!"

A desperate wail echoed through the forest!

He staggered, still trying to block with his left hand.

"Puchi!"

The Sword light flashed again!

His left arm was severed at the elbow!

Blood spurted wildly!

"No... don't kill me! Spare my life! We were just following orders!" Zhao Tianqi completely broke down, tears streaming down his Face, begging for mercy in despair.

Responding to him was only a cold Sword edge, wrapped in residual Thunder light.

It swept across his throat.

Puff!

The sound abruptly ceased.

Zhao Tianqi's Face was frozen with extreme fear and disbelief, his pupils dilated, and he slowly slumped to the ground.

Blood quickly stained the withered leaves beneath him.

Yasuo coldly flicked off the blood beads from his Sword.

He bent down and touched Zhao Tianqi's corpse.

A Storage Ring inlaid with a blood-red gem fell into his hand.

Without even looking, he directly put it into his pocket.

His figure flickered, and he once again disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Leaving behind only a gradually cooling corpse and the lingering smell of blood.

...

The temporary camp in the distance.

Jasmine suddenly let out a gasp, her pretty Face as pale as paper!

"Dead... dead! He's actually dead!"

Young Master Mo, who was beside her, his eyes flashed with light, overjoyed!

"Hahaha! Did that kid finally die?!"

"The Zhao brothers did well! Although it took a bit more time!"

Jasmine, however, shook her head fiercely, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

"No... it's not that person who died!"

"It's... it's Zhao Tianqi! Zhao Tianqi is dead!"

"What?!"

Young Master Mo's smile instantly froze, as if he had been slapped hard, his Face full of disbelief!

"Zhao Tianqi is dead?! How the hell is that possible?!"

"Those two Rank 30+ experts, couldn't they even defeat a Rank 9 kid together?!"

Jasmine's voice trembled: "They... they split up."

"Zhao Tianming went around to the front, wanting to attack from both sides."

"Who knew... who knew that Thunder Sword Master didn't run at all this time!"

"He... he directly... killed Zhao Tianqi!"

"Useless! Idiots! A bunch of brainless pigs!"

Young Master Mo was furious, his Face twisted, cursing loudly!

"What's the point of the guild raising you useless people?! Huh?!"

Jasmine trembled under the scolding, timidly whispering: "Young... Young Master Mo, should we... just give up? That person, we really can't deal with..."

"Slap!"

Young Master Mo backhanded her with a loud slap, directly knocking Jasmine to the ground!

"Shut up! You slut!"

He grabbed the communicator and roared wildly into the other end:

"Zhao Tianming! What the hell are you doing?!"

"Your brother Zhao Tianqi has been killed! And you're still stupidly blocking people?!"

"Are you a pig?! Huh?!"

On the other end of the communicator.

Zhao Tianming, who was cautiously lurking at the designated spot, heard Young Master Mo's roar, and his whole body was struck by lightning, suddenly stunned.

The communicator in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter."

"Tian... Tian Qi..."

"Dead?"

His eyes were bloodshot, and his Face was filled with disbelief.

"No... impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
