After the Border Town Wanderer declared victory at mid-field, he immediately launched a pursuit!
When his tachi blade struck, it seemed unremarkable, wrapped only in a faint breeze, but when the Blood Spider attempted to deflect, the swirling breeze transformed into a fierce Wind Blade, bypassing the Blood Spiderâs deflecting weapon to strike its body directly!
The Blood Spider had no choice but to abandon deflecting and could only dodge every strike from the Border Town Wanderer!
Between two high-agility heroes, if one can only dodge and even has to avoid weapon deflection, they are inevitably at a disadvantage.
"Haha, still not running? Are you waiting for love?"
The Border Town Wanderer joyfully shouted, "If you donât run, Iâm going to finish you off! By then, you wonât be able to escape even if you want to!"
It was actually a psychological tactic. The Border Town Wanderer was eager to eliminate the Blood Spider immediately, and there was certainly no room for mercy.
The reason he didnât unleash his big move was to conserve his Professional Energy for dealing with his other opponents, Father Arius and Bai Pu.
The Blood Spider gritted her teeth and held on, sneaking a glance in Bai Puâs direction from the corner of her eye.
(￢_￢)
Seeing that Bai Pu had already slain Lugo, the Blood Spiderâs Spirit was lifted. She quickly applied a Dragon Hunting Mark on Bai Pu before dashing towards him!
Moving towards the target of a Dragon Hunting Mark increases movement speed by 25 points!
The agility of the Blood Spider and the Border Town Wanderer was similar. This 25-point speed increase would definitely create a gap.
The Border Town Wanderer chased for a few steps but realized it was futile. Just as he was about to turn around, the Blood River Illusion washed over him abruptly.
While the Blood Spider was fleeing towards Bai Pu, Bai Pu was also hurrying over. It was truly a mutual approach in this wave.
When he killed Lugo, Bai Pu had conserved his Blood River Fighting Qi and didnât fully unleash the Blood River Territory, covering only about half the area.
This led to the Border Town Wandererâs misjudgment. Assuming he was still safe, he had unknowingly entered the Blood River Territoryâs coverage!
As we all know, slowing the enemy equals speeding ourselves up.
If the enemy slows down while we speed up, it effectively immobilizes the enemy.
Father Arius was overjoyed, seeing Bai Pu take down Lugo, and thought to himself that the imitation Holy Thorn Flower was worth its cost!
Seeing Bai Puâs Blood River Illusion entrap the Border Town Wanderer, Father Arius couldnât help but exultantly shout, "This Blasphemer escaped last time; this time, we must take his head!"
"Alright, just hold the other one for me," Bai Pu said, referring to Chen Ge standing on a tree.
Father Arius, being a Remote Magic Profession, was well-suited to dealing with Chen Ge. His tentacles gathered, and the Decomposition Beam shot out.
Chen Ge hadnât yet fully recoveredâher Mystical Arts spell "Wild Growth" used earlier on Bai Pu had been greatly exhausting.
Facing the ferocious Decomposition Beam, she didnât dare take it head-on. A vine wrapped around her waist, gently swinging her awayâas if the forest were actively protecting her.
Bai Pu strode forward, catching up to the Border Town Wanderer in a few steps and slashing down with his sword.
The Border Town Wanderer had no choice but to abandon the Blood Spider and engage Bai Pu in battle. But the Blood Spider, now having an opportunity to strike, quickly put away her daggers and raised her hand crossbow, shooting in bursts, annoying the Border Town Wanderer immensely.
Engaging truly with the Border Town Wanderer, Bai Pu also felt the pressure.
At least, Bai Pu couldnât win in his usual state; the Border Town Wandererâs Two-Handed Swordsmanship had reached Advanced Level 7, while Bai Puâs was at Advanced Level 6.
Bai Pu activated Genetic Fusion, raising his Two-Handed Swordsmanship Specialization to Advanced Level 8. As for the Pure Blood, it was best saved, requiring 48 hours to generate a single drop.
However, Bai Pu also faced the same dilemma as the Blood Spider: deflecting was a losing battleâthe damage from the Wind Blades would pass through the deflecting weapon and land on Bai Pu.
After exchanging several blows with the Border Town Wanderer, Bai Pu ended up with three gashing wounds on his skin.
The Border Town Wanderer silently cursed his luck. His Professional Energy was running low, and looking at Bai Puâs tough exterior, he feared that even if he exhausted his Energy Bar, Bai Puâs Blood Bar wouldnât be depleted!
But Bai Pu was the first to change tactics!
He stopped dodging or deflecting, facing the Border Town Wandererâs attacks head-on.
This exchange earned him the freedom to strike without hesitation!
With an already strong body, Bai Puâs +8 Chainsaw Greatsword was even more devastating. Even Level 7 Warriors with Life Value close to 5000 points were quickly slain by Bai Pu. The Border Town Wanderer dared not get too close!
He lightly slashed several times, but with just one furious swing from Bai Pu, he was forced to retract his sword and retreat.
"Damn it, if my True Qi hadnât nearly run out, you wouldnât dare be so arrogant!"
The Border Town Wandererâs heart burned with anger, "Whereâs Chen Ge, come help me out! If Iâm done for, you wonât have it easy either!"
But what he awaited was not assistance but a Penitence from the now free Father Arius.
ââChen Ge had already slipped away.
It must be said, within this Twisted Jungle, "Forest Sage" Chen Geâs strength had notably increased, particularly in survival. Sensing the unfavorable situation, she successfully escaped under the forestâs cover.
The Border Town Wanderer had already used his Decoupling ability, and amidst the Penitence illusion, he could only watch helplessly as Bai Puâs sword swung down!
The Chainsaw Greatsword, enveloped in dense Blood-colored Energy, slashed down with the force of a mountain crashing down.
The Shattering Mountain special effect!
"How can he also embed energy into his basic attacks? His Specialty surely hasnât reached Level 7..."
The Border Town Wanderer activated the Divine Power of the Divine Envoy, vanishing as his form faded, his mind still circling around this question.
After "killing" the Border Town Wanderer, Bai Pu retracted his Blood River Territory. Fighting with the Blood River Territory active for too long drained a lot of Blood River Fighting Qi.
With the Thorn Church facing no more obstacles, most of the incoming Thorn Cutters were slain, with only a few escaping under the cover of the woods. Bai Pu and the Blood Spider couldnât be bothered to chase them.
"You did well! I believe this battle will serve as a bloody lesson to the Blasphemers!"
Father Arius, having returned to human form, nodded in satisfaction, "Especially with the bow-using Blasphemer Lugo, his name was on the Churchâs sinner register!"
"Just doing the job for the pay, this head is yours."
The Spirit Realm Willâs language translation function faithfully translated Bai Puâs concise words.
"Haha!"
Father Arius had initially pained over the imitation Holy Thorn Flower but felt much better after hearing Bai Puâs words. Unhesitatingly, he commanded two Thorn Fanatics to cut off the heads of Lugo and the "Border Town Wanderer" to bring back to the church for merit.
Bai Pu wasnât interested in claiming credit since his Reputation wouldnât rise, so taking the credit was pointless. It was better to use it to mitigate some of the priestâs dislike.
To facilitate future gains.
