Chapter 1002: Wipe Them Out
BANG——!!
The White Tiger slammed the porcupine, bristling with steel quills, firmly into the snow-covered ground. Its razor-sharp claws sliced through the dense armor of quills, leaving savage wounds across its body.
The blood-soaked White Tiger stepped on the struggling porcupine and let out a ferocious roar toward the headless man brandishing killing intent beside it.
It had reached its limit.
Though Fang Mo shared a symbiotic bond with the White Tiger, his physical body couldn't fully channel the beast's power. Having brought down a "River Realm" "Mystery" was already the极限 of what he could accomplish in this state.
The headless man had been completely maddened by the bloodlust radiating from the White Tiger. Gripping his two executioner's blades, he charged toward it wildly.
Suddenly, a dark crimson figure plummeted from the sky, striking the headless man's spine with the force of an artillery shell and driving him into the snow!
The battered White Tiger froze at the sight.
Snowflakes swirled with dust as a youth emerged from the smoke, six-winged silhouettes flickering behind his back, a Straight Blade in hand. His feet skidded across the snow, leaving a long trail before he finally stopped.
"I thought I smelled something disgusting nearby." Lu Baoyou glanced coolly at the White Tiger. "So this is your true form."
Wisps of warm air seeped from between the White Tiger's fangs. After gazing at Lu Baoyou for a moment, it rumbled in a low voice:
"Why are you here?"
"I was doing combat training against 'Mysteries' in this area. Heard a commotion, so I came to check it out." Lu Baoyou's gaze fell on the wounds covering the White Tiger's body. "What a sorry sight..."
"You should leave now. There's still time." Fang Mo gritted his teeth. "My blood is dispersing again. More 'Mysteries' will gather here soon. You won't survive... Run."
"Run?" Lu Baoyou sneered. "You think I'm going to desert while you're fighting for your life?"
Lu Baoyou gripped his Straight Blade and walked steadily toward the headless man clutching his two executioner's blades. His voice calm, he said, "Lu Baoyou doesn't run from battle."
Ggggg——!
A God Ruins unfurled invisibly, and the Straight Blade in Lu Baoyou's hand suddenly split open, revealing a grotesque maw lined with teeth. Like a demon, it ravenously devoured the emptiness around the blade, capable of grinding all things to fragments.
His six wings flared. He rocketed toward the headless man.
The White Tiger—Fang Mo—watched this unfold, his brow creasing deeply. Just as he was about to speak, his body shuddered. The massive White Tiger form began shrinking, quickly reverting to the tiny white cat from before.
His body could no longer sustain the White Tiger transformation. All he felt now was浑身酸痛, not an ounce of strength remaining.
With difficulty, he turned his head toward the horizon. Beneath the clouds, several terrifying figures brimming with power were rapidly approaching.
"Lu Baoyou?"
A silhouette carrying a black box sprinted from the distance. Upon seeing Lu Baoyou battling the "Mystery" and the gravely injured white cat—Fang Mo—Li Zhenzhen's pupils constricted sharply.
She rushed to the gradually recovering porcupine, scooped up the white cat, and conjured a heart-shaped bow in her palm. The arrow tip aimed squarely at the porcupine, her expression grave.
"What happened?"
"I'll explain later... First, help me bandage these wounds." The white cat lay in Li Zhenzhen's arms, watching the fragrant wisps escaping from his wounds.
Li Zhenzhen asked no further questions, deftly and quickly wrapping his injuries.
In the distance, Lu Baoyou's figure darted around the headless man. As his palm grazed the back of one executioner's blade, the weapon transformed into a monstrous blade demon that snapped off one of the headless man's hands with a single bite.
Yet even so, Lu Baoyou was still too slow against the headless man. Two consecutive slashes landed on his body—while they missed his vitals, they left deep gashes that bled profusely.
After a blood-soaked battle, Lu Baoyou finally lopped off the headless "Mystery's" remaining arm and kicked him down the mountain.
Covered in bloodstains, he stumbled to where Li Zhenzhen and Fang Mo stood. Using his Straight Blade as a crutch, he steadied himself. A single crimson eye gazed up at the sky.
In the distance, those terrifying silhouettes streaked closer, landing around the mountain forest one after another, surrounding the three of them in a tight ring. Their shrieks crashed over them like a tidal wave.
"River," "Sea," "Boundless"... dozens of surging, ferocious auras rippled outward, draining the color from Li Zhenzhen and the others' faces.
"We're doomed."
The white cat Fang Mo watched countless figures emerge from the forest, encasing them in a suffocating encirclement. Despair flickered in his eyes. "This time... we really can't escape."
Lu Baoyou stared at those terrifying "Mysteries," his knuckles whitening around his blade's hilt. He said nothing.
But in that single eye of his blazed undiminished battle spirit and madness. He was a beast cornered, resolved—even in death—to tear off a piece of his enemy.
"Where's Instructor Lin?" Li Zhenzhen scanned her surroundings.
"What?"
"Instructor Lin!" Li Zhenzhen furrowed her brow. "He messaged me saying not to bring Squad 006, that he'd handle everything... I thought he'd be here."
"He's not—"
Fang Mo was about to say Instructor Lin wasn't here when he froze.
Wait... if Instructor Lin wasn't here, how did he know to message Li Zhenzhen, telling her to come alone?
It couldn't have been a scam, right?
Wind and snow howled. The mountain forest swayed.
Dozens of "Mysteries" of terrifying power surged forward amid earth-shaking roars, converging on the three-person squad at the center.
They were like a pack of ravenous blood sharks.
Just as Lu Baoyou prepared to draw his blade and charge, a crimson figure materialized凭空 in front of them.
Snowflakes swirled in the freezing wind around that hooded figure draped in a Crimson Cloak. Carrying the black box on his back, he stood motionless before the three of them, holding up an entire sky.
His gaze swept calmly across the surrounding "Mysteries."
A killing intent colder than winter frost blazed in his eyes!
"You think THIS is enough to kill MY soldiers?"
BANG——!
Without动用精神力, Lin Qiye launched a savage kick that caved in the chest of the foremost "River Realm" "Mystery" and sent him流星般 tumbling away.
The howling "Mysteries" showed no signs of stopping, pressing forward with reckless abandon.
Then Lin Qiye raised his hand gently and pressed down on empty air.
Radiant summoning formations bloomed across the snowy ground. Dozens of figures in deep cyan attendant uniforms materialized, standing behind Lin Qiye, each emanating auras of at least "Sea Realm" or even "Boundless" level.
Lin Qiye waved his hand, his expression a mask of cold indifference:
"Wipe them all out."
