Chapter 37

Time seemed to stand still, and Xu Dong could clearly see every movement of the other party, the subtle changes brought by each action — the bayonet leaped up, the dry leaves and twigs at his feet were kicked up, leaving two footprints on the ground, even the patterns on the soles of his shoes were clearly visible.

The bayonet soared, the corner of his coat flipped up, and with a swift kick, a segment of blood-red muscular calf was exposed, raised to an extreme height where the toes almost touched the forehead.

In that instant, Xu Dong could distinctly see a fierce aura radiating outward. At that moment, the leaves fell like rain, and the fierce aura swept through, like sharp blades, wildly stirring amidst the falling leaves. All the leaves within a two-meter radius around him shattered and scattered rapidly.

The oppressive air even emitted a groan, and amidst the howling, the leg blade slashed down from the air, the air beneath the leg blade seemed to be squeezed to the sides. A bizarre aura suddenly shot toward Xu Dong, its speed so fast that it was almost blinding!

The leg blade slashed down, and the bayonet's face instantly turned pale, and he fell to the ground, seemingly exhausted, having to lean against a tree trunk to catch his breath. This leg blade had clearly drained all his energy and spirit. In other words, this attack was his strongest and final offensive move, his ultimate killing technique!

An indescribable sense of fear overwhelmed Xu Dong, a fear that was ten times more terrifying than facing the strange dog or the yellow-striped saber-toothed tiger. It was a fear that made his soul tremble. Xu Dong felt his scalp explode, knowing that if this wind blade hit him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, the distance between them was extremely close, and under normal circumstances, Xu Dong had no way to avoid it and could only choose to endure. But he was well aware that the only result of enduring would be to be cut into two pieces by this wind blade, with his internal organs and blood splattered everywhere!

At this critical moment, how could Xu Dong still hold back? He suddenly roared and activated the Small Quick Steps skill. This skill, which increased movement speed, provided an astonishing 80% boost in his current state. When activated, he immediately felt a warm current surge through his limbs and body.

Before his awakening, this warm current was just a faint trace, but after awakening, it had clearly grown to a steady stream. If compared in terms of energy, the increase was far more than just a trace! Moreover, his physical attributes had been significantly enhanced after activating the Cang Mang Ancient Armor, with an additional 82.5% boost, making his speed even higher, much faster than in his normal state.

In that instant, Xu Dong bit his tongue hard, the intense pain making his mind extremely focused. Without a word, he threw the iron dagger with great speed. Although this dagger was found in an abandoned wooden house and was initially just a piece of iron resembling a small knife, it was actually made of steel, which was harder and more durable than ordinary iron.

However, when this steel dagger was thrown and hit the wind blade, it only produced a crackling sound and immediately shattered into countless pieces, scattering in all directions. These fragments, carrying strong force, some pierced deep into the wood of nearby trees, some hit the shrubs and grass on the ground, causing sap to splash, and some hit Xu Dong, like a shotgun blast, causing numerous blood splatters.

The speed of the wind blade only slowed for a moment.

Pain reverberated intensely throughout his body, and Xu Dong roared as he took three steps back. At the moment the wind blade hit him, he twisted and crouched sharply. The terrifying wind blade instantly cut a large piece of flesh from his arm and then effortlessly slashed into a tree as thick as a person's embrace, sending wood chips flying and cutting a deep, alarming gash!

Xu Dong rolled and jumped up, not even needing to look down to know that his injured arm, with a large chunk of muscle missing, revealed the white bone, and blood was gushing out uncontrollably.

Having narrowly escaped death, Xu Dong was drenched in cold sweat.

Having dodged this fatal attack, he turned to look at the bayonet, who was now staring in disbelief, his face full of incredulity.

Wasn't it true? This wind blade had a name — "Demon Body Blade." The Demon Body Armor was one of the most common blood armors among humans, with the greatest feature being the significant enhancement of physical functions, emphasizing human strength and comprehensively improving physical attributes. As a military combat skill, the "Demon Body Blade" naturally followed the military's characteristics — simple, direct, and powerful.

But Xu Dong had dodged it! This was something the bayonet, who was determined to succeed, could not imagine or accept! It was like spending thousands on a designer shirt, expecting to look like Andy Lau, only to find out it made him look like Wang Baoqiang, and not even allowing a bad review! If not for his strong mental fortitude, he might have already spat out a mouthful of blood and died from sheer frustration!

Xu Dong, having dodged the attack, gritted his teeth and lunged forward with astonishing speed, instantly reaching the bayonet.

The bayonet, his eyes wide with rage and almost on the verge of collapse, screamed in panic, "Impossible! Your speed can't possibly match that of a fully awakened individual!"

Xu Dong didn't bother with idle talk. After the battle, the light of victory was already shining on his face. To prevent any unforeseen events, his nature wouldn't allow him to waste time with unnecessary boasting. He swung his right fist and with a thud, hit the bayonet's chin, cutting off his last word. Then Xu Dong grabbed the bayonet's collar and brutally slammed his body against a tree.

The poor old tree, which had few leaves to begin with, first suffered from the bayonet's折腾, and then from Xu Dong's beating, quickly lost its last leaf, becoming the first tree in Huaiyun Mountain to completely undergo physiological transformation.

The exhausted bayonet could only offer simple resistance and was unable to defend himself, enduring a brutal beating from Xu Dong for three minutes and nineteen seconds, finally passing out in a state that even his mother wouldn't recognize.

Panting heavily, Xu Dong saw the bayonet lying unconscious and slightly relaxed, beginning to bandage his wounds. After finishing, the nearly lifeless bayonet still hadn't woken up, and Xu Dong suddenly stomped hard on his chest. The powerful force made him spit out a mouthful of blood, but it also woke him up.

The reason Xu Dong woke him up was not to chat, but to learn the cultivation method of the Demon Body Blade, which he was quite interested in. Without any formalities, he coldly asked, "The skill you used just now is quite interesting. Can you tell me the cultivation method?"

To his surprise, the bayonet, though terrified, remained defiant. He tried to sneer, but the movement of his wound made his smile look strange and ridiculous, though the meaning was clear, "Do you know what you're doing? Do you think I'm just a security officer in Nangjiao Village? Hmph, you even want to pry into military secrets, you don't even know what 'death' means!"

Xu Dong didn't get angry, but calmly stared into the bayonet's eyes, speaking slowly and deliberately, "You might not understand the current situation. You have lost to me, and your life is in my hands. Whether you are the fish or the meat, and whether I grill you or fry you, it's all up to me. Do you still dare to be defiant in front of me?"

The bayonet only coldly snorted and turned his face away, remaining silent.

Seeing this, Xu Dong didn't waste words. He suddenly grabbed the triangular bayonet and pinched the bayonet's right thumb, pressing it against the edge of the bayonet. Although called a bayonet, it could easily cut off a finger.

The bayonet's face changed, and he shouted, "You dare?"

Xu Dong smiled lightly, "Why wouldn't I dare?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and the bayonet's finger was severed, accompanied by his piercing scream.

After this, Xu Dong continued to pinch the bayonet's index finger and cut it off without a word. After three times, the three fingers were separated from their owner, and it seemed that in the future, the bayonet would have to use his left hand or his remaining two fingers on his right hand to masturbate.

Having done this, Xu Dong extended his foot and stepped on the bayonet's knee. The bayonet, who had no resistance, was already on the verge of mental collapse. After all, even if he lost his right hand, he still had his left, but if his knee was shattered, his leg would be useless, and for an agile-type awakened individual like the bayonet, it would mean the end of his career!

The bayonet finally broke down and screamed, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

He then revealed the secrets of cultivating the Demon Body Blade without holding back.

Xu Dong, recalling his previous words, couldn't help but ask curiously, "You said my speed is equivalent to that of a fully awakened individual. Could you please explain what a fully awakened individual is?"

Since the bayonet knew that the young man in front of him was a man of action, and the situation forced him, he had no choice but to provide a lot of relevant information.

A fully awakened individual means that the awakened individual or other levels of armor has activated all their blood armors, officially reaching the peak of their current level, and is ready to advance to the next level.

After quietly listening to this information, Xu Dong carefully recalled the cultivation secrets of the Demon Body Blade, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

Finally, Xu Dong used a hand strike to knock the bayonet unconscious, then attached the triangular bayonet to his waist, grabbed one of the bayonet's legs with his other hand, and dragged him like a dead dog toward Beijiao Village.

He couldn't help but feel anxious, wondering if Uncle Daxiong would be able to save the people.
