Having thought through the sequence of events, Bu began to understand the actions of Byron and his group, who had suddenly come to him in such a severely injured state. He felt a twinge of sympathy for the Fellows, all of whom were either wounded or maimed, having worked hard to reach the mountaintop to seize the White Bone Ghost Lotus, only to end up being used as pawns for him. They truly were well-meaning individuals.
The thought that he had taken advantage of them while also mocking them so cruelly was indeed inappropriate; one should not behave this way and should win others over with virtue.
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Bu's face. Before he could utter any more apologies, Scarred Man was already overwhelmed by Fury, shouting in anger without waiting for Byron's orders. He threw aside his short crossbow with a clang and drew his long knife from his waist, charging forward with several large strides, aiming a direct slash at Bu's head.
With a swift motion!
The strike was executed with a sharp edge, and a substantial energy coalesced into a tangible Blade Light that emitted a piercing roar like a tiger's howl. Bu immediately shifted from a defensive mindset and raised his hand to meet the blade with a powerful swing.
This action seemed somewhat perplexing, as his gesture did not align with the blade at all; it appeared more like he was swinging at thin air. However, the other three did not show any surprise; their eyes were fixed on him, eager to gauge his true capabilities.
With a clang! Sparks flew as the Blade Light shattered into fine energy particles that dispersed in all directions. Scarred Man's long knife trembled violently in his grip, nearly slipping from his hands. If he hadn't reacted quickly by pushing off the ground and spinning away to dissipate the force, he might have suffered serious injury.
At this moment, Bu was no longer empty-handed; he held an ancient-looking spear that trembled slightly in his grasp. He stood firm and steady like a mountain, surrounded by countless fine waves of transparent energy that rippled around him. He did not retreat even an inch, absorbing the impact effortlessly.
"Water Attribute Energy," Byron said with a slight pause, as if realizing something. He stepped forward to block Scarred Man and coldly stared at Bu. "You should be aware of our intentions. The woman you held in your arms earlier is Eve, isn't she?"
"Eve," Bernie, who looked like an elegant scholar, breathed out softly. He exchanged glances with another robust man resembling a black bear named Heita, both surprised and astonished by what they saw in each other's eyes.
"So it turns out that the woman you were with is that wretched Eve. Where is she? You two came down from the mountaintop together—did you conspire to ambush us?" Scarred Man shouted from behind Byron, his face flushed with rage like a mad dog barking incessantly.
Hearing such disrespectful words made Bu's expression darken gradually. Regardless of anything else, Eve was now considered his woman; such insults clearly showed they did not regard him highly. With no room for negotiation left, it was time to fight.
With a cold snort, Bu lunged forward. The blood-red tip of the Taiyuan Spear shot out like a venomous snake's tongue, aimed directly at Scarred Man behind Byron. The thrust produced a whistling sound as it sliced through the air at an incredible speed—this was indeed reminiscent of Crescent Moon Execution and Chasing Stars and Pursuing the Moon techniques.
The spear techniques were complex; it could slash or sweep, jab or encircle, thrust or dance—but the fundamental essence of spearplay was stabbing!
As he thrust forward like a dragon emerging from the sea, it was as effortless as skilled fighters exchanging blows—a simple yet extraordinarily powerful move.
The 984-pound Taiyuan Spear thrust straight ahead at an unbelievable speed like a meteor trailing flames; its nine-foot-long spear light exuded an astonishing aura!
Byron's eyes flickered with surprise; at that moment when Bu's spear struck out, he sensed a hint of threat. Though it wasn't significant, given that Bu was only at Intermediate Level and not yet at his peak strength, it was enough to astonish him.
"Another talent wasted," Byron thought coldly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. To him, the opponent was merely an insignificant figure. Since they did not know their place, it would be better to kill them outright. As for the other doubts in his mind, if the opponent refused to confess before dying, capturing Eve would naturally resolve everything.
With this thought in mind, Byron stepped forward without hesitation, his fingers forming a sword as he fiercely pointed at the tip of the gun aimed at him. A series of sharp explosions erupted as his finger struck out, and countless sparks flickered at his fingertips, showcasing immense power as they danced and collided.
Bang!
The sword tip met the gun's muzzle, and instead of sticking together as imagined, it repelled each other like opposing currents. A tremendous force was generated at the moment of contact, causing the opponent's arm to shake violently and sending them flying through the air. Byron remained silent, his eyes glinting with cold light as he swiftly followed up with several more sword strikes, transforming into beams of flickering lightning that shot towards the opponent.
"Haha, this kid is seeking death by daring to attack first. I see he must have trained so hard that he’s lost his mind," Scarred Man chuckled, feeling relieved from the earlier frustration when he had failed to gain an advantage over the opponent. He turned to Bernie and Black Tower, about to say something when he suddenly noticed their expressions change dramatically.
Scarred Man was taken aback, still trying to comprehend what was happening when he felt a gust of wind behind him. Suddenly, he realized that a powerful grip had seized his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe. Panic surged through him.
"White!" Bernie and Black Tower exclaimed in shock, rushing forward to help.
Meanwhile, Step smirked coldly during the confrontation with Byron, his gaze filled with mockery as he looked at Byron.
"This is bad," Byron thought in alarm as he sensed something was off. He resolutely abandoned the chance to severely injure Step and turned back just in time to see a scene that filled him with rage.
"White!"
Just as Byron's furious shout echoed, a crack sounded that cut off his voice. Looking over, he saw a cold-faced man in a red robe standing still, one hand raised while gripping someone's neck. However, the owner of that neck was already lifeless; a trace of horror lingered in their eyes as if proving their unwillingness to die.
The person in the red robe was none other than Step's Avatar, Red Lotus. From its sudden appearance to its swift kill, the entire process happened so quickly that no one had a chance to react. The reason no one sensed Red Lotus's approach beforehand was not only due to its incredible speed but also thanks to the Water God Concealment technique that masked its presence so effectively that no one but Step could perceive its arrival.
"You all will die today!" Byron's face turned pale with anger; repeated failures throughout the day had stripped him of his composure. After uttering those words without hesitation, he unleashed all his energy. Countless arcs of electricity surrounded him as a massive sword appeared in his hand, which he swung directly at Red Lotus.
Zzz!
The electric arcs elongated into a giant sword aura composed entirely of pale blue lightning that swept across the area. The dense mist illuminated by this sword's brilliance became transparent, resembling thunder flashing amidst gathering storm clouds, signaling an impending downpour.
Red Lotus remained calm and unperturbed by the arrival of the giant Thunder Sword Qi. With a wave of his hand, the mist within a ten-zhang radius seemed to be devoured by an invisible mouth and vanished without a trace. Upon closer inspection, one could see a mass of mist rapidly compressing in Red Lotus's palm, transforming into an egg-sized water sphere at an astonishing speed.
"Explode!" With a cold utterance, Hong Lian casually threw a water sphere towards the approaching Thunder Sword Qi. With a thunderous sound, the water sphere exploded, but instead of splashing water everywhere, it seemed to possess intelligence, wrapping the entire giant Thunder Sword Qi within it. Instantly, the sound of thunder crackled continuously.
"What kind of strange technique is this?" Bernie and Heita, who were preparing to rush forward to surround their opponent, were startled. They watched as a mist enveloped the Thunder Sword Qi, constantly changing its form as if it were corroding it, causing the sword energy to vanish. In this process, every bit of sword energy that was worn away released a puff of mist that scattered around, replenishing the surrounding thin mist.
"Could this be Eve?" Byron, having seen much in his time, quickly discerned the nature of the technique Hong Lian was using.
"That's right." Bu Qing smiled, quite satisfied with the power of Wrath of the Water God. This forbidden technique consumed a tremendous amount of Mental Power and energy—one point of Mental Power and ten points of energy per second. Even Hong Lian could not maintain it for long.
He casually took out a set of Amplification Equipment from his Storage Bracelet and donned it before charging into the fray with his Taiyuan Spear.
Hong Lian fought Byron barehanded and was at a disadvantage. As Bu approached, he threw out the long-unused Azure Morning Sword. Hong Lian caught the sword in hand; as energy surged into it, sword energy surged forth, clashing with Byron in an evenly matched duel.
In terms of actual combat strength, Byron was at the peak of Intermediate Level 5, equipped with powerful Amplification Equipment. Under normal circumstances, Hong Lian would be at a disadvantage in this battle.
However, Byron had fought fiercely against the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast half a day earlier and was severely injured. Although he had escaped down the mountain and taken some time to recuperate, it had not been long enough for him to fully recover. In contrast, Hong Lian had gained the Water God Technique; his Avatar naturally understood all the mysteries of this technique. During his meditation outside the cave, he had already transformed all his energy into water attribute energy.
With these contrasting circumstances, if he still could not contend with Byron, then it would be a waste of his former Demigod Stage Earth Spirit body.
