"Master Xiong!"

"Oh no! Mr. Xiong is injured!"

"Charge! Carve out a bloody path and support Master Xiong!"

The gang members shouted loudly, but amidst Chu Chunxiao’s subordinates’ siege, there was no chance to break through.

Several attempts to charge forward were intercepted, resulting in substantial casualties on their side instead.

"I’m fine! Don’t lose your formation!"

Xiong Rudong shouted, stabilizing his subordinates, though he was already panting heavily.

With Chu Chunxiao’s gaze fixed, he took a step forward and launched consecutive attacks.

Swipe, swipe, swipe!

After a few sword strikes, blood splattered from Xiong Rudong’s arm and left leg, adding several wounds, with his condition visibly deteriorating.

"Can’t beat him..."

Xiong Rudong, panting heavily, had already realized this.

"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!!"

In stark contrast to Xiong Rudong’s successive defeats, Chu Chunxiao’s shrill and piercing laughter echoed.

Each sword strike faster than the last, sword shadows weaving a net like serpent mouths lunging for the kill!

Retreat, block, reverse kick, direct punch!

Bang!!

Xiong Rudong regained some ground, kicking Chu Chunxiao back a few steps.

But the cost was his arms, already bloody and mangled, as if hacked by a butcher’s knife a hundred times, almost unrecognizable.

"Die!"

As Chu Chunxiao steadied himself after retreating on his heels, he instantly lunged forward again.

His agile form and sinister swordsmanship seemed like the natural enemy of heavy Martial Artists like Xiong Rudong, who gained nothing in multiple exchanges.

With a sinking heart, Xiong Rudong disregarded the severe wounds on his arms, shouting explosively, advancing instead of retreating! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The distance between them closed, both fully immersed in the battle, yet neither noticed a silhouette shooting rapidly from afar!

In merely the blink of an eye, as their fists and swords barely collided twice, locked in life-and-death combat...

Bang!!

A silhouette appeared abruptly beside them, as if from thin air.

"Who is it?!"

Just about to stab the sword into his opponent’s chest, Chu Chunxiao was shocked, hastily withdrawing his attack and retreating to widen the distance.

But even as Chu Chunxiao retreated, the figure also retreated alongside!

Two silhouettes retreating together, seemingly in parallel, with Chu Chunxiao unable to widen the gap no matter how he tried.

This fellow’s movement technique surpasses mine!

Stunned, Chu Chunxiao immediately realized something.

He suddenly halted and slashed backward with a sword!

The first exchange might not reveal much, but from behind, Xiong Rudong immediately noticed something amiss.

"It’s the Slow Sword! Mr. Diao, be careful! His sword..."

Too late!!!

The dumbest bear!!

Chu Chunxiao sneered viciously, Slow Sword like an accumulation, Fast Sword like a torrent.

The sword shifted from slow to fast in an instant.

Buzz!!

The Snake-shaped Sword accelerated abruptly, slicing down!

Pop.

Chu Chunxiao’s proud, undefeated Fast Sword was in that instant effortlessly caught between two fingers by the newcomer, unable to move!!

"Hiss—"

Behind, Xiong Rudong’s eyes widened.

The Fast Sword move he couldn’t counter was cracked easily before that person, like child’s play!

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

At the moment Chu Chunxiao’s face showed shock...

Click!

Gold-glowing fingers twisted lightly.

Chu Chunxiao’s Snake-shaped Sword, forged with a considerable sum, suddenly broke in the middle.

The broken sword body flew away but was caught by the newcomer with a reverse grip.

Realization struck Chu Chunxiao, abandoning his sword to retreat...

But it was already too late.

Fang Yu, with a reverse grip on the blade fragment, stabbed directly toward Chu Chunxiao’s head!

Szz!!!

As Chu Chunxiao barely retreated, his body stiffened suddenly, collapsing with a thud.

His wide eyes, head oozing black blood, and slightly twitching body all indicated he was nearing his end.

"Youth is great, fall asleep immediately."

His vision desperately shifted upward, only to hear the newcomer’s indifferent words.

Unable to even utter a final word, darkness rapidly swallowed his sight.

"No!!!"

Bang!

Chu Chunxiao’s head exploded like a watermelon, while Fang Yu, expressionless, lifted his foot, shaking off the remaining blood.

[Chu Chunxiao: 0/4562.]

[System Prompt: Congratulations, player has killed [Chu Chunxiao], gaining 4 experience points.]

[System Prompt: Detected [Chu Chunxiao] as Human, [Green Demon Blood] bloodline talent triggered.]

[System Prompt: Congratulations, player’s maximum Life Value increased by 4562 points.]

[System Prompt: Human race’s internal strife, resentment gathered as Evil Qi, surrounding your body.]

[Life: 89938/89938.]

His life value surged, approaching the ninety thousand threshold.

Meanwhile, the previously alleviated Evil Qi immediately intensified again.

Perhaps due to the looming Evil Qi, or the commotion was too significant, everyone’s eyes turned toward him at that moment.

"Wha...t?"

"No, impossible?!"

"Lord Chu! Lord Chu is dead?!"

"Who is that? What kind of person is that! When did the Forest Snake Gang have such a monster?!"

"Killed in three moves... Wood Realm! That guy is at least a Wood Realm Warrior!!"

The subordinates brought by Chu Chunxiao all panicked, in utter chaos.

Except one, whose eyes shifted, secretly doing something.

"Wait! That person..."

Fang Yu’s eyes narrowed.

"Mr. Diao, many thanks for your rescue..."

With the crisis averted, Xiong Rudong came up to give thanks, only to see Fang Yu’s silhouette flicker suddenly.

Fang Yu, who had just single-handedly killed Chu Chunxiao, was now crashing like a cannonball into Chu Chunxiao’s group of subordinates!
