Ke Bei looked at the strange and alluring man, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes. He had already witnessed the strength of this strange and alluring man. Even now, after undergoing the tempering of the third layer of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Gong, he still had no certainty of victory.
"Huff~"
Slowly exhaling a long breath, his somewhat tense emotions eased a little. Ke Bei raised the broadsword and gently sliced his right palm. Crimson blood drops then spread onto the wooden handle of the knife.
Holding the blood-dripping broadsword, Ke Bei felt more determined.
"Gu Laoda, Wang Shan, Zhao Hai..."
One familiar face after another flashed through his mind. Ke Bei clenched his fists tighter and tighter, and fine bloodshot lines crisscrossed his eyes like a spider web.
"Die!"
A growl squeezed out between his teeth. Ke Bei's body suddenly moved. He stomped his foot hard, and his body turned into a thin line, shooting towards the strange and alluring man like lightning.
Whoosh
A faint silver light flashed on the blade. Ke Bei suddenly made a horizontal slash, slashing fiercely towards the strange and alluring man's neck.
The strange and alluring man stared warily at the broadsword in Ke Bei's hand. Knowing full well how sharp this knife was, he didn't dare to block it head-on. He tapped his foot lightly and instantly floated backward, retreating two meters in an instant to dodge the blade.
The strange and alluring man looked at Ke Bei indifferently. His handsome body trembled slightly, and his bones made a crisp sound like firecrackers. He suddenly clenched his fists, feeling the immense power contained in his muscles, and the strange and alluring man smiled wickedly.
"Do you think you can threaten me with just a sharp knife? The power of the Divine Race is beyond what you humans can imagine."
The strange and alluring man let out a low growl, stomped heavily on the ground. As his body swayed, he vanished before Ke Bei's eyes in a mysterious way.
The next moment, Ke Bei felt a sharp fist wind approaching from his back. Ke Bei's expression remained unchanged, and a sneer curled at the corner of his mouth. The moment the strange and alluring man disappeared, he had already anticipated it.
Whoosh
Ke Bei didn't turn around. He suddenly slashed backward with the broadsword in his hand.
Swoosh~
The strange and alluring man's face changed abruptly. The fist that was about to strike Ke Bei's back was quickly withdrawn. His legs remained as motionless as nails, and his body fell backward like a tumbler.
The strange and alluring man reacted quickly, but unfortunately, he was still a fraction slower than Ke Bei's broadsword. Although this slash didn't hit his body, it did tear a gash in his robe.
"Hmph."
The strange and alluring man let out a cold snort. His legs remained motionless, and his body spun like a windmill. Just as Ke Bei made a slash and hadn't had time to retract the broadsword, he threw a fierce punch towards Ke Bei's abdomen.
"Not good!"
Ke Bei exclaimed inwardly. It was too late to retract the knife. In an instant, Ke Bei clenched his left fist, quickly crouched halfway down, and threw a fierce punch towards the strange and alluring man's outstretched fist.
Boom
The two of them clashed head-on with no fancy moves for the first time. Ke Bei's body involuntarily retreated five or six meters. He stumbled a few times before regaining his balance. Shaking his numb fist, Ke Bei smiled.
Before undergoing the tempering of the third layer of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Gong, a single punch from the strange and alluring man could shatter all his bones. Now, after this head-on collision, his fist was only slightly numb.
It seemed that after undergoing the tempering of the third layer of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Gong, the gap between them wasn't as large as Ke Bei had expected.
"The Dragon-Elephant Prajna Gong is truly miraculous. This is just the upper volume, and I already have such strength. I can't even imagine how powerful I'll be when I obtain the middle and lower volumes."
"The Divine Race isn't all that formidable after all."
Ke Bei sneered as he looked at the changing expression on the strange and alluring man's face.
"What goes around comes around."
"I will settle the blood debt of the Ningxing Squad with you today."
Ke Bei's face darkened suddenly. He slowly raised the broadsword. Stomping his foot hard, with a bang, his body shot out rapidly. This time, Ke Bei held nothing back.
The moment his body lunged forward, his speed doubled compared to before. In an instant, he was in front of the strange and alluring man.
"Thunder Slash!"
With a furious roar, Ke Bei's muscles bulged. All the strength in his body burst out instantly. A silver light pierced the air, and with a dull sound of breaking the wind, it slashed fiercely towards the strange and alluring man.
The strange and alluring man's blood-red eyes shrank rapidly. He moved his feet as fast as lightning, and in an instant, his body shifted three meters to the side.
The slash that Ke Bei made with all his might missed its target.
"My speed is still a bit slow."
Ke Bei frowned tightly, a trace of helplessness on his face.
With the broadsword in his hand, the strange and alluring man didn't dare to get close. However, Ke Bei's speed was still a bit slower than that of the strange and alluring man, making it difficult for him to land a hit.
"Roar~ My child, my child, my child!"
Suddenly, a shrill roar sounded. Looking at the sword mark on its abdomen, the demon beast roared in a panic.
Hearing the demon beast's tragic roar, Luo Ling's heart suddenly lit up. She finally understood why this general-level demon beast was so weak.
"Roar~~"
The body of this general-level demon beast suddenly trembled violently. A column of blood shot out from its lower body. The blood spurted out, instantly staining the ground blood-red.
It was actually about to give birth.
"Damn it!"
When the strange and alluring man saw this scene, he exclaimed inwardly.
Without this general-level demon beast to hold back that human woman, once the two humans in front of him joined forces, he would truly be doomed.
"What should I do?"
The strange and alluring man's handsome face turned pale, and beads of sweat oozed out on his forehead.
"In one more day, the task assigned by the Heavenly Corpse Mountain will be completed. If I run away now, all my efforts will be in vain. If I can't complete the task then..."
The strange and alluring man thought of the consequences of failing to complete the task, and his heart suddenly turned cold. At that time, not only would he die, but his entire family would also be implicated.
Just as the strange and alluring man was hesitating, Luo Ling gave Ke Bei a meaningful look and slowly moved towards the strange and alluring man. This general-level demon beast was no longer a threat. In a short time, it would only become weaker.
The most important thing now was to deal with this junior-level Divine Race first.
"Hah!"
Ke Bei saw Luo Ling's look and instantly understood her intention. With a furious roar, he rushed towards the strange and alluring man.
Boom, boom, boom
Ke Bei launched a frenzied attack. Although he couldn't hit the strange and alluring man, that wasn't his aim. What he wanted was to draw all of the strange and alluring man's attention to himself.
Once Luo Ling got close to the strange and alluring man, with her ability to freeze people, she only needed to freeze the strange and alluring man for an instant, and Ke Bei could slay him.
Facing Ke Bei's frenzied attack and already being wary of the broadsword in Ke Bei's hand, the strange and alluring man had no time to pay attention to anything else for the moment. He could only focus on dodging Ke Bei's attacks.
Luo Ling moved forward cautiously and quietly, trying her best not to let the strange and alluring man notice her.
Finally, when Ke Bei made a slash, the strange and alluring man took a sudden step backward. In an instant, he was less than two meters away from Luo Ling.
"Now!" Luo Ling's eyes turned a pure pale white color, and a burst of cold air erupted.
"Ice Lock!"
She suddenly opened her five fingers wide, and five streams of bone-chilling white mist shot out from her fingertips. In an instant, they enveloped the strange and alluring man, and then the strange and alluring man was completely frozen.
"Good opportunity!"
Ke Bei's eyes widened. He stomped his foot heavily, and his body shot forward. He held the broadsword high in his hand.
Crack
The strange and alluring man's eyes were filled with rage, and cracks appeared around his eyes. A terrifying force burst out in an instant, and the ice crystals covering his body shattered.
Luo Ling had only sealed him for one-tenth of a second.
One-tenth of a second was very short, but it was enough for Ke Bei.
"Thunder Slash!"
The moment the ice crystals on the strange and alluring man's body shattered, Ke Bei's broadsword came down with a slash.
Puff~
This junior-level member of the Divine Race, whose body was even harder than metal in some aspects, was as vulnerable as paper in the face of Ke Bei's seemingly shabby broadsword. He was instantly cut in half.
Ke Bei looked at the strange and alluring man who had been split in two by his slash, and then at the still rusty and shabby broadsword in his hand. He couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath. After a long moment of silence, he exclaimed in shock inwardly.
"Old Man Beard, what kind of monstrous shabby knife did you leave for me? This is really incredibly powerful!"
