Han Kexin dragged Jiang Xiaowen and directed everyone else out of this area.

With a wave of its wooden mace, the reddish ogre rushed up like a gust of wind, knocking down several trees in front of it. Xiao Yu used his bullet time skill to appear on the back of the monster; he let out a low growl and slashed a big wound on the monsters rear. The ogre spun around and struck him with its weapon, and the moment the mace was about to hit him, he took a quick step back to avoid the blow, but the exceedingly sharp wind felt like a genuine blade.

Xiao Yus arms and garments were cut in rapid succession, with numerous scars on his face.

Boom!

The ogre moved forward and swung its huge mace down, which weighed at least a thousand catties. Xiao Yu disappeared from his place and appeared six to seven meters away. The wooden mace immediately struck empty ground, and the destructive power of that force instantly broke the land into a large crater. The shock wave shook the trees on the other side, peeling off their outer barks.

At that moment, Xiao Yu rushed forward, gripping the blade with his right hand and covering his eyes with his left, braving through the strong wind and countless wood fragments flying in his direction as he leapt up, piercing the ogres throat with incredible momentum.

Blood was already flowing from his eyes while the blade pierced several inches deep into the monsters flesh. Xiao Yu immediately retracted the weapon and jumped away, avoiding an attack from the ogre as a fireball quickly condensed before hitting the opponents face. The creature was blown away and staggered two steps back; the flames faded, revealing the ogre to be left nearly unscathed, save for a layer of black coating on its face. Xiao Yu dashed tens of meters away, taking advantage of this brief window of opportunity.

Xiao Yu was well aware that he was not the ogres opponent; even ten of him would lose if they were to engage in a head-on battle. Now that he had successfully attracted the monsters attention and anger, he didnt dare linger around. He immediately turned around and sprinted away. The ogre slashed left and right with waves of its hand, and the towering trees along the way were cleanly chopped and fell to the left, right, front, and rear, generating a significant number of obstacles.

Roar!

The ogre turned a blind eye to the fallen trees in front of it and rushed forward with a whoosh of its huge body. Those massive trees were destroyed as if hit by heavy artillery and shattered from their core one by one. The monster caught up to Xiao Yu in a matter of a few seconds. It swung its massive mace and slammed down heavily, performing its signature skill, fury wave!. A tremendous blood-red shock wave swept through the forest; the wave was faster than the speed of sound and had devastating momentum as it crushed everything in its path.

Xiao Yu clenched his teeth and tapped his toes firmly against the groundBullet time!

Once again, he disappeared in mid-air and reappeared a few meters away. But, unfortunately, he was already exhausted from using his bullet time ability in quick succession. That skill was a powerful ability that could instantly triple his explosive charge, but due to its frequent use, his body could not handle all of that load. As a result, his spiritual power was also depleted, leading his fighting power to be greatly reduced.

A large number of vessels ruptured in Xiao Yus body. At this moment, he had no idea that his eyes were bleeding, that his lips and nose were bloodstained, and that a long line of red liquid was flowing from his pores simultaneously.

Without looking back, he chopped off a big tree, kicked it hard, and the tree flew towards the ogre behind him while he continued to charge forward using that momentum. The speed of the ogre was not slow, to begin with; after using its bloodlust ability, it grew unimaginably faster. It broke the enormous tree hurtling toward it with ease, and swung the wooden mace again as it got closer to Xiao Yu in a burst of speed. The red, violent energy slowly gathered around the maces head.

Fury wave!

Xiao Yu grabbed a long vine stretching in the wilderness and swung his body aggressively, jumping upward to avoid the terrifying shock wave that annihilated everything around him. His body, covered in blood, flew straight to the sky and then fell at an alarming speed. The ogre merely raised its head as it noticed a figure falling straight down toward it; the figure was holding the handle of a blade with both hands, and the edge stabbed at its shoulder, penetrating its callous skin and piercing it deeply.

When Xiao Yu saw the ogre turn its head toward him, a stern look flashed in his eyes. He gripped the blades handle tightly and pressed down with all his strength; the weapon pierced another inch deeper, and now that he was firmly attached to the ogres body, he leaned on the blade as his lower body rose in the air, before delivering a powerful kick to the ogres face.

wham

The kick of a first-order warrior was nothing to scoff at.

Even the ogre staggered back from the blow while a crack appeared in one of its fangs. But at the same time, the monster reached out and quickly grabbed him from behind with its left hand. The ogres grip was firm; however, Xiao Yu had already withdrawn his blade. He then took full advantage of that opportunity to clamp the ogres right arm with his legs before stabbing the monsters left wrist with his weapon, as a large amount of blood gushed out wildly.

His clothes and flesh were cut apart as a muffled scoff escaped Xiao Yus throat.

Xiao Yus eyes were completely soaked in blood, his hair was disheveled, and he totally looked like a vicious, unrivalled demon god. His whole body exuded an incomparably disheartening aura as he slashed at the ogres throat again. However, the monster was too resilient, and this hasty blade strike could not cut through its tough skin, leaving behind a mere superficial wound.

Roar!

The ogres strength was beyond Xiao Yus current power. As a result, he was easily flung out and destroyed a couple of large trees on the way. However, he quickly regained his balance in mid-air and landed on his legs as he stabbed the soil with his blade, dragging a long mark on the ground, eventually coming to a halt after colliding with a large tree with his back.

He immediately took a deep breath.

However, this simple action caused many of his wounds to rupture even further, and his lungs convulsed before he felt a splitting pain covering his body. Xiao Yus vision went slightly dark, his feet grew unstable, and he became a little shaky as he started assessing the condition of his body. Multiple fractures were found throughout his body; the damage varied from serious concussion to internal injuries to severe bleeding and mental and physical weariness.

With such a terrible injury, he would still reach his limits even if he had ten times the vitality of ordinary people and even if he was the strongest warrior in the world!

This isnt good! Countless leaves, broken branches, and fallen trees littered the ground, and Xiao Yu stood on that mess as he turned his head to look back, Damn, why is that guy not here yet?!

Regardless of his complaints, the ogre didnt give him any chance to breathe. Instead, it lifted its weapon once again, and the violent force of destruction took shape, hitting the ground with a forceful impact.

At this critical juncture, a vast figure suddenly rushed out from one end of the woods. It had a hunched back, thick limbs, and claws half a meter long that looked as if they were blades; four ferocious scarlet eyes gazed at the scene, and its sparse grey hair moved with the wind as it opened its huge mouth, revealing a complete set of sharp teeth. A black energy ball suddenly condensed and formed right before its jaws as it breathed out.

The Ghoul!

This guy had finally arrived.

There was a smile hanging on the corner of Xiao Yus mouth. At this moment, the ogre, the ghoul, and he stood in a straight line. The ogres wooden mace swung down heavily and hit the ground. The entire forest was shaken, and the red energy condensed into a line, rushing forward like a crushing tide.

Bullet time!

Xiao Yu disappeared on the spot and appeared a few meters away. His body could no longer bear the burden, and he fell heavily. Under the strong momentum of the previous forward charge, he rolled and crawled for more than ten meters away. Then, gritting his teeth, he pushed his hands against the ground, jumped up, and leapt out into the wilderness.

Boom!

The ogres fury wave missed him and instead directly struck the ghoul behind, and the latter was forced to retreat more than ten meters away. Although it had already shown signs of evolution, it wasnt a real silver-armored ghoul. At most, it stood at the peak of the first order, so its current strength wasnt that different from the ogres, and that blow managed to injure it to a certain extent. Still, the iron-armored ghoul was enraged as it condensed a batch of dark energy, gathered it into a small ball, and launched it in a deadly counterattack against the ogre!

The earth was shrouded in dark energy, and everything within a ten-meter radius of the ogres vicinity was blasted into sediments, leaving a big bowl-shaped pit on the ground. The ogre howled in anguish as the dark beam struck its invulnerable skin, shredding it as a dozen wounds were on the verge of splattering blood.

Roar! Roar!

The ogre warrior was angry, and so was the armored ghoul.

Ogre warriors had low intelligence, to begin with, and when combined with the negative effect of the bloodlust skill, they became a war machine. That single blow from the ghoul was enough to offset the total amount of damage done by Xiao Yu altogether. In comparison, ghouls were far more threatening than him. Ogres, in general, will abandon low-threat targets in order to confront new ones with higher threats.

The ghoul originally came chasing Xiao Yu but was hit by the ogre warrior for no reason and was also quite angry at the moment.

They all stared at each other with fierce eyes and roared violently at the same time.

The two monsters charged head-on, like two locomotives running at full speed, colliding heavily against each other and creating a ring of dust around them. The ogre struck the ghoul in the back with its weapon, releasing that red, violent force of energy. Half of the ghouls body sank into the ground, its bones were broken, and its seven orifices started bleeding.

However, the ghoul refused to show any weakness at all. Although that mace attack severely injured it, its two sharp claws held the ogres body tightly, and the sharp claw blades even cut into the other partys skin. It opened its bloody mouth and bit into the ogre warriors abdomen. The ghouls teeth previously could break the head of the incredibly hard, poisonous zombie like it was fried beans, showcasing their sharpness.

With this bite, a massive portion of flesh was torn off the ogres midsection, faintly exposing the intestines and internal organs inside.

The struggle between the two beasts had fully started.

The ogre didnt chase Xiao Yu anymore, so the pressure he faced was greatly alleviated; he sighed in relief and quietly retreated into the woods. His vision was hazy, and he felt pain all over his body. But he didnt groan in pain from start to finish, and he crawled forward until he reached a tree hole, curled up in it, and sat with his knees shut. He then closed his eyelids and started breathing slowly. Although his vision was temporarily impaired, his hearing could also gauge the battle situation between the two monsters.

He was now entirely cut off from the battleground, and all he could do was wait for the battles outcome between the two guys. And if both of them got injured, he might luckily be able to act as the fisherman and reap all the benefits.

If he succeeded, the spoils would be heavenly. He thought about all of this as he waited for the outcome, his heart pounding in anticipation.

After all, those were two existences at the peak of the first order!
