C54 War Upgrade
The bald man's enraged roars reverberated in the forest for a long time, but he only received the roars of various wild animals.
Zuo Feng was standing on top of a big tree with a playful look on his face. He leaned against the tree with ease. When faced with the bald man's nearly crazed state, he couldn't help but feel a burst of happiness in his heart.
"You bunch of high-level warriors actually dared to do this to a small mountain village. Now, it's your turn to go berserk after suffering such a calamity." 'I deserve it. If I had a way to make your deaths more painful, I wouldn't have been stingy with it. ' Zuo Feng stared at the distant battlefield with hatred and disdain in his eyes.
The gray clothed man's excitement was still slowly increasing, but the wild beast wasn't as rational and self-contained as a human's. It probably entered a crazed state less than half an hour after the Divine Awakening Powder was absorbed. The wild beasts had a strong and savage body, and the effect of the Divine Awakening Powder was amplified infinitely.
Every few breaths of time, the fight between the two sides would escalate to a new level. Although the grey-clothed man and the rest of the beasts had also absorbed the Divine Awakening Powder, only some of the heavily injured people had gotten a little too excited. Because the broken wound had absorbed the Divine Awakening Powder, it directly flowed through the blood throughout the body, causing the effect to be even more obvious.
The battle between the two sides was like a pair of giant gears. The beasts on this side began to accelerate, while the humans on the other side were helpless even if they were unwilling. They could only follow and continue to level up the battle.
Because of the bald man's loud howl, most of the people in the gray-clothed men knew that they had been ambushed. However, the reality was that following the wild beast's crazy attacks, they had no choice but to mobilize all of their spiritual energy to kill.
On the other side, the grey-clothed man was also in a tough situation. This was because even though the wild beast was heavily injured, some of its abdomen had even been cut open by swords, and its intestines were flowing out of its body as it continued to rush into the crowd.
This kind of violent battle lasted for about fifteen minutes. Aside from the wolves, the other two waves of wild beasts were completely wiped out. The wolves' losses were quite severe as well. Out of the hundred or so that had appeared at the beginning, only forty or so were left.
In this quarter of an hour, three people died on the side of the gray-clothed man. The other six were all injured to varying degrees. In such a bitter battle, the weaker members of the gray robed man's squad had all lost their lives. Those who survived were people with abundant fighting experience. Even so, they were still unable to escape the encirclement of the beasts.
"Lil 'Six, you must bring that person back. You must be careful in plotting against our people." The bald man, in the midst of a fierce battle, roared loudly.
"Understood, captain"
After the bald man gave the command, he took out another long blade from his waist. He originally had a long blade in his hand, but at this moment, it had become two blades. When the surrounding companions saw the bald man wielding a pair of sabers, their eyes lit up almost imperceptibly. However, there were still some who sighed softly after their eyes lit up. All of these sighs were people who understood this bald man very well.
This bald man had been under the tutelage of a hidden expert since he was young, and the way he trained in martial arts was also different from others. Most people started with martial arts, but he started with the basics.
His improvement had been very fast, and his master had been very satisfied with him. But at the age of sixteen, his progress suddenly became slow. His master didn't pay much attention to this change of his. She only told him that this was the first bottleneck in his martial path, and also the first bottleneck in his life. Only by overcoming the past would his path of cultivation become wider and wider.
However, the bald man's path of cultivation was very smooth. This bottleneck had been a huge blow to him, and he had worked hard for a long time without feeling any signs of a breakthrough.
Suddenly, one day, he had a strange thought and started to practice the dual blades. Moreover, he slightly changed the technique of the single blade on the dual blades. Soon after, he discovered that he had actually broken through a bottleneck. While he was still gloating over his own extreme intelligence, his master discovered him.
The look in his master's eyes when he looked at him at that time was still unforgettable to him. At that time, his master's eyes were filled with anger, helplessness and regret when he watched him proudly playing with his dual blades. In the end, his master only said to him, "Sometimes, there is only one path in life. No matter how difficult it is, you have to go through it alone. You have walked the wrong path." With that, he expelled him from the sect.
The bald man had never understood what he had done wrong. If his master said that he had done wrong, then he would continue cultivating with all his might. However, he found out that once he reached the late stage of the Body Tempering stage, he would forever be stuck there, unable to break through.
He once went to find his master with a thick face, but when his master saw him again, he didn't seem to be surprised at all. He only sighed and shook his head, then turned around without saying a word to him. The bald man knelt in front of his master's door for two days and two nights, but his master refused to see him again, so he had no choice but to leave.
Later on, the bald man joined the gray robed man's ranks. However, after continuously fighting with others, he discovered that although his dual blades were much more powerful than the single blade, they still had a fatal flaw. It was that after using all his strength to fight, he still felt a little powerless, and the longer he fought, the more obvious the disadvantage was.
After continuously practicing and thinking about it, he gradually came to understand that from a young age, he had practiced a single saber technique, while his dual blade technique was derived from a single blade. The two seemed to have the same origin, but there was an intrinsic difference between them.
At this moment, he realized what he had done wrong. His state of mind had already deviated. However, he realized that he could no longer change his direction, so he still used a single blade in battle. Only in times of crisis would he use dual blades, but when the dual blades appeared, it also signified his defeat in his state of mind.
The three middle stage Body Tempering martial artists had been following the bald captain for the longest time. They knew him the best, so they were the ones who sighed when he started using the dual blades.
Blue veins were popping out of the bald man's forehead. The two blades in his hands danced in the air. In the blink of an eye, three wolves had been killed. The group's speed also gradually increased.
"Aowu …
The giant wolf immediately noticed the change in this area. It let out a huge roar and commanded the wolves to gather to the east. However, the wolves had all fallen into madness under the effect of the Divine Awakening Powder, so how could they still hear the leader's orders?
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the giant wolf. Although its body was burning with excitement due to the drugs, it had the blood of a demon beast, so it had some intelligence. It was able to suppress the insanity in its body like a human.
Seeing that its order had no effect, the wolf cub had no choice but to walk around the east side of the battlefield. While walking, the savage beast suddenly stopped moving and looked towards the bushes where Zuo Feng was hiding. Zuo Feng's body was originally hidden on top of the tree and his aura had been completely restrained. However, the wolf was still able to sense him.
Zuo Feng's back chilled the moment the giant wolf looked over. A chill ran from the bottom of his feet all the way to his head. Zuo Feng's entire body tightened and his breathing slowed down. He even tried to make his heartbeat slow down. His eyes slightly narrowed, leaving only a gap. He believed that even the slightest movement on his side would cause the wolf in front of him to immediately lock onto him.
As time passed, the battle continued. The team was still slowly moving towards the east. The giant wolf looked at Zuo Feng with a hesitant expression, but it still turned its attention back to the bald man on the battlefield with some unwillingness.
The bald man had already started to display his prowess. Just as the giant wolf was paying attention to Zuo Feng, six more wolves died under his twin blades. If this continued, the group of people might have a chance of escaping.
The bald man was currently covered in blood, but most of it came from the wolf he had killed. However, just as a glimmer of hope rose in his mind, a massive figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
However, he had been wandering around the outskirts of the battlefield and had yet to enter its center. Although the bald man could tell that this wolf was the leader of the large group of beasts, he had no choice but to face it himself.
At this moment, the enormous wolf had delivered itself to his doorstep, causing the bald man to feel delighted. If he were to kill this enormous wolf, then his group of people would undoubtedly have a chance at survival. He had even started planning out how to find the culprit that had framed them.
The giant wolf was clearly much calmer than the others. There was no trace of madness in its eyes. Instead, a cold glint flashed in its eyes. The bald man hadn't lived here for long, so he didn't know what the golden stripes on the wolf in front of him meant.
He seemed to vaguely recall some legends, but at this moment, he didn't have the leisure to think about them in detail. After a short pause, he unhesitatingly brandished his two blades and chopped at the wolf.
As the cold steel blade slashed down on the wolf, the wolf's body began to move. The huge figure's agile reaction made the bald man realize that his opponent was hard to deal with.
The giant wolf suddenly sat back and twisted its huge head, easily dodging the two hacking strikes. It then swung its huge wolf claw, which was as thick as a bucket, at the bald man.
The bald man's two slashes just now were extremely fast. He was confident that one of the two slashes would slash into the body of the giant wolf, but the wolf nimbly sat down and twisted away, easily dodging the slashes.
The bald man didn't hold back at all when slashing with his saber. At this moment, it was hard to miss. The other party had reached out to grab him, and his huge claws weren't any slower than when he swung his blade.
At this moment, the bald man couldn't dodge at all. He could only cross the two steel knives in front of his chest. Just as the two blades were placed together, the opponent's huge claws had already arrived.
"Clang!"
The claw-like collision between the claws and the steel knife produced a loud sound akin to metal colliding.
