"Brother Luo, you really have too many people." Ma Fei looked behind Luo Ge and saw that there were more than twenty people, while the other teams only had just over ten people.
"Brother Ma, these brothers from the knight's guild train together every day at the viscount's mansion and have practiced combined battle formations. They can exert greater power together, and their combat effectiveness would decrease if they were separated," Luo Ge explained.
Ma Fei pondered for a moment: "Since that's the case, let them stay with you. It's a bit troublesome to allocate the remaining people."
"The rest of you can allocate the remaining people. I'll just wander around on my own," Bai Cangdong said.
"Brother Bai, it's too dangerous for you to go alone," Zheng Hao exclaimed in surprise.
"It's fine. With the knights as the main force, we can take it easy," Bai Cangdong felt that going alone was better, as he didn't want to reveal his Lingluo Sword and some martial techniques in front of others.
"Alright, Brother Bai can scout around and help us gather information about the distribution of the Green-Eyed Asuras. That will make our actions much easier," Ma Fei nodded.
In the end, Bai Cangdong successfully formed a group of one, and the remaining people were evenly divided into four small teams by Ma Fei and a few others.
"Everyone, pay attention. No matter how many Green-Eyed Asuras you hunt, you must return before dark. After dark, the Green-Eyed Asuras will gain the Green Asura Wings, significantly increasing their speed and strength, and they will gain some flying ability, making them extremely difficult to deal with. Do not engage them at that time," Ma Fei reminded everyone.
Each team chose a different direction to enter the area where the Green-Eyed Asuras appeared. Bai Cangdong didn't care about the direction and ran directly along the nearest path.
The rolling hills were very treacherous. Bai Cangdong climbed a small rocky hill and looked around, easily spotting a small group of four Green-Eyed Asuras.
The Green-Eyed Asuras were ugly, with faces like twisted ox heads, a single horn on their heads, and a green eye below the horn. Their bodies were covered in green scales, and their hands and feet were claw-like, capable of walking upright or on all fours. A wide, sharp blade protruded from the outer side of their forearms, extending to the elbow and forming a crescent shape.
Bai Cangdong observed the surroundings, confirming that there were no other Green-Eyed Asuras nearby, and then summoned the Lingluo Sword and a pure white knight's greatsword to charge at the four Green-Eyed Asuras.
The Green-Eyed Asuras, seeing Bai Cangdong, charged at him like mad dogs, their large arm blades aiming to slice him into pieces.
The Lingluo Sword, being a viscount-level weapon, was incredibly sharp, even though Bai Cangdong couldn't fully unleash its true power. The sword blade cut through the Green-Eyed Asura's arm blade and severed a part of its arm.
The Green-Eyed Asuras were similar to what Bai Cangdong had imagined, possessing both speed and strength, but neither was outstanding. Dealing with them was not difficult, especially with the Lingluo Sword, making it easy to slay them.
However, the Green-Eyed Asuras were extremely resilient. Even with their limbs severed, they would still fiercely bite and ram with their horns, making them very aggressive.
Bai Cangdong killed three Green-Eyed Asuras and left one to test its pain points.
The Green-Eyed Asuras were different from the Skull-Cleaving Ghosts, having fewer pain points in different locations. Bai Cangdong almost turned the Green-Eyed Asura into a blood-soaked mess, finding only seven pain points in the end.
"Only seven pain points, it's a bit few, but it's enough," Bai Cangdong looked at the sky, which was just noon, and with several hours until dark, he didn't hesitate to delve deeper into the hills.
After figuring out the Green-Eyed Asuras' pain points, Bai Cangdong found it as easy as slaughtering chickens to kill them. No Green-Eyed Asura could withstand his two strikes. One strike hit a pain point, and the next strike killed it. He quickly slaughtered a group of over a hundred Green-Eyed Asuras, moving through the area like a ghost in an empty house.
Rushing through, Bai Cangdong gained a lot of life scales. The life scales he gained this time were several times more than what he had gained in all the previous years combined.
The only regret was that the Green-Eyed Asuras left no weapons behind, not even the Asura Green Blood Blade, let alone ordinary Asura greatswords or Green Eyes.
Bai Cangdong, engrossed in the slaughter, unknowingly ventured deep into the hills. When he came to his senses, it was already dark, and he was too deep in the hills to return in time.
"The Green-Eyed Asuras at night, though stronger than during the day, are not enough to threaten me. Whether I return or not, it's the same. I might as well kill more at night and maybe get the Asura Green Blood Blade," Bai Cangdong looked around, seeing small hills everywhere, unable to determine his current location.
Climbing a nearby hill, he saw a deep, fog-filled ravine. He couldn't tell what was inside.
By the time it was completely dark, Bai Cangdong was about to descend when he noticed a ghostly green light flickering in the ravine.
"What is that?" Bai Cangdong stared at the faint green light, which grew closer and then suddenly disappeared as it was about to emerge from the fog.
Bai Cangdong, feeling a gust of wind behind him, quickly dodged the attack. A Green-Eyed Asura with transparent green wings on its arms was fiercely pouncing at him from the air.
Bai Cangdong's Lingluo Sword stabbed out, thinking it was a sure hit, but the Green-Eyed Asura flapped its green wings, evading the sword and continuing its attack.
Bai Cangdong, breaking out in a cold sweat, leaped to avoid the attack. However, the Green-Eyed Asura, with its strange green wings, moved erratically in the air, still pursuing him.
Using the Qingyun Step, Bai Cangdong rose three feet, barely avoiding another attack. But when he turned, the Green-Eyed Asura was already behind him, flapping its wings.
Without hesitation, he used the Eight Steps in the Sky, turning in the air to dodge another attack, but the Green-Eyed Asura still pursued him erratically.
Bai Cangdong used the Eight Steps in the Sky again, making three consecutive turns in the air before the Green-Eyed Asura finally landed and stopped pursuing him.
Bai Cangdong took the opportunity to land and catch his breath. Without the Eight Steps in the Sky, he would have been killed by the Green-Eyed Asura.
"I was too careless, underestimating the Undead," Bai Cangdong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his eyes fixed on the Green-Eyed Asura with green wings.
The Green-Eyed Asura moved again, with the same erratic flight pattern, making it hard to predict. Bai Cangdong's several sword strikes missed, and he could only use the Qingyun Step and the Eight Steps in the Sky to evade.
Gradually, Bai Cangdong began to understand the flight pattern of the Green-Eyed Asura and noticed that it couldn't fly for long. The green wings were not real wings and could only allow short flights.
"Got it!" Bai Cangdong, unable to see, suddenly stabbed backward, hitting the Green-Eyed Asura, which let out a惨叫 and spewed green blood.
"Once I understand the flight pattern, the Green-Eyed Asuras at night are not that scary." Bai Cangdong swiftly killed the injured Green-Eyed Asura with a few strikes.
Ding!
The sound was different from the usual sound of life scales dropping after killing a Green-Eyed Asura. Bai Cangdong was startled and looked closely, seeing a pair of green wings on the ground, shimmering with a strange green light.
"What kind of weapon is this? I've never heard of Green-Eyed Asuras dropping this!" Bai Cangdong quickly picked it up to examine it, but before he could see clearly, the sword case suddenly jumped out and absorbed the green wings.
Bai Cangdong, stunned, looked at the sword case, which now displayed a martial technique called "Asura Wings."
Looking at the new martial technique on the sword case, Bai Cangdong was unsure whether to be happy or angry. He suddenly realized a serious problem: if the sword case could forcibly absorb weapons, would it also absorb the Asura Green Blood Blade if he obtained it from the Green-Eyed Asuras?
Without time to think more, several Green-Eyed Asuras with green wings flew out of the fog-filled ravine, and more kept emerging.
Bai Cangdong turned and ran. The Green-Eyed Asuras with green wings were much stronger than the ordinary ones. Even though he understood their flight patterns, he didn't dare face a large number of them alone.
The Green-Eyed Asuras flew and jumped in pursuit. Bai Cangdong fought while retreating, killing over a dozen that caught up to him before finally escaping and leaning against a cliff to catch his breath.
After careful reflection, Bai Cangdong felt that the Green-Eyed Asuras with green wings were not that scary, especially for him with the Qingyun Step and the Eight Steps in the Sky. However, if their numbers were too large, it would be troublesome. The Qingyun Step and the Eight Steps in the Sky couldn't keep him in the air for long, and being surrounded by many Green-Eyed Asuras in the air would be dangerous.
"Swallowed my weapon, let's see what kind of martial technique you can create." Bai Cangdong finally had time to examine the new martial technique on the sword case.
As he read, a look of surprise and shock gradually appeared on his face.
