Xia Panqiu suddenly turned her head, her eyes reddened as she looked at Wu You.
"Brother Wu You, what's the matter?"
Lu Hao lifted his head and smiled in response.
"Just wait."
Wu You's face covered in stubble showed no expression: "Please, just wait!"
"Alright."
Lu Hao replied briefly, then turned to look at Xia Panqiu, who was holding a short knife, and laughed, "Panqiu, the 'man' you truly admire has managed to buy some time with his courage, and he succeeded. But are you really just going to watch?"
"..."
Xia Panqiu bowed her head once more, her fist clenched so tightly that her fingernails dug into her flesh.
Receiving no response for a long time, Lu Hao scrutinized both Wu You and Xia Panqiu, his expression teasing.
What is his objective?
That's still unknown for now.
Do we kill them?
Killing them would be ideal.
However...
Lu Hao cast his gaze toward Chen Lusi, his face showing a cruel expression, then suddenly turned to the man and woman he brought with him, instructing, "Watch Wu You and Xia Panqiu, as long as they don't use the 'Ancient Object', just let them watch!"
The expressionless man walked directly towards Xia Panqiu.
"What a pity..." The mature woman with peony tattoos glanced at Chen Lusi, shook her head with some regret, then approached Wu You.
"Courage?"
In the end.
Lu Hao redirected his gaze to Chen Lusi, walked to his side, squatted down slowly, and looked at Chen Lusi, who was hunched over and gripping his left arm wound tightly, in an amused manner.
"...yes, courage."
Chen Lusi ceased his wails, slowly lifted his head, tears mixed with blood dripped from his forcibly opened 'eyes', his once handsome face now a complete mess.
"You've got a tough mouth, indeed."
Lu Hao shook his head, just about to say more.
"..."
Suddenly, Chen Lusi moved, violently flinging forward his remaining right arm.
A piercing sound accompanied by twisted flesh.
A flash of cold light appeared.
Chen Lusi's deep blue eyes locked onto Lu Hao's neck.
Clang——
But the thin blade formed at the end of his arm halted ten centimeters from Lu Hao's neck.
Several transparent short knives directly blocked the knife formed from his arm's twisted flesh.
Even though it was only ten centimeters away.
It couldn't move any further.
Chen Lusi raised his view upward.
Lu Hao looked at him mockingly, his eyes were also dyed deep blue: "Such an interesting Authority, no wonder... you just wanted me to torture you, right? Betting on luck at first, making me believe you could see my Traceless Blade, possessing Spiritual Authority.
Then howl a few times, making me think you weren't tough, working with Xia Panqiu, guiding me to change my mind, raising the desire to tame you, and then suddenly attacking when I got close... Ha, congratulations, you succeeded."
As he reached this point.
He couldn't help but laughingly shake his head, casually grabbed a transparent broken blade from the air, and thrust it forward.
Thud.
Chen Lusi bent over.
Bowed his head.
And suddenly vomited a large amount of blood.
"But you seem to have forgotten, I was also in Celestial Strategy, and I can also...use the 'eye'."
Lu Hao leaned close to Chen Lusi's ear, left one last sentence, then pushed forward, releasing his grip, and stood upright.
Chen Lusi fell straight backward, heavily onto the ground.
With just one thought remaining.
No wonder he is BOSS-level.
Really tough to deal with...
"Arrogant."
Lu Hao looked at the dying Chen Lusi, pulling the corner of his lips.
Chen Lusi lay on the ground panting, looking at him, a withered smile on his face, mouth slightly moving, seemingly saying something.
But it couldn't be heard.
"What?"
Seeing Chen Lusi still smiling, Lu Hao grew impatient.
"...Didn't you fall for it?"
Chen Lusi showed him a smile and suddenly raised his hand, gently making a fist.
Lu Hao was suddenly shocked, goosebumps quickly sprouting all over his body, he instantly lifted his head, looking towards Wu You and Xia Panqiu first.
But the real threat wasn't from that direction.
Squelch——
The sound of flesh being pierced suddenly arose.
A slight stinging sensation emerged.
Lu Hao stared at the blood spurting from his chest, somewhat puzzled.
Blood? Why is there blood on my chest?
He slowly lowered his head, the scene before him wobbled in his vision.
After shaking his head.
The scene finally became clear.
There was a hole in his heart area... a transparent short knife gradually becoming evident under the flow of fresh blood, its tip adorned with a shiny gemstone resembling a blue sapphire.
Hole?
My Divine Format?
Why?
Why is it visible outside?
Lu Hao's thoughts briefly stalled.
Until.
Bleaugh——
He suddenly vomited a large mass of sticky blue liquid.
Only then did he finally comprehend.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah———"
Lu Hao both vomited blood and retreated, his face twisted like a demon: "Why!! Why!!! How could it——"
He had considered every possibility.
Except for one.
He never imagined that it would be his own signature Technique.
"Ah——"
In the distance.
The woman with peony tattoos on her face, witnessing the sudden turn of events, let out an extremely piercing scream.
"Have you ever read a comic book? Don't blindly rely on any ultimate move... particularly one you yourself don't know how to counter."
"Surprise... dumbass."
Chen Lusi lay on the ground, showing a mocking expression, using his last ounce of strength to punch in the direction of Xia Panqiu.
Ha, first use Consolidation Technique to mold the Spirit into a blade, then apply Change Attribute to give the Spirit the attribute of invisibility, finally during the attack, dissipate sound waves and related traces with the Spirit... I see, damn, it's really tricky to use.
Almost couldn't hold on.
As Chen Lusi thought to himself, he softly spoke: "From here on, it's up to you guys."
As Chen Lusi swung his punch.
The short knife stained with Lu Hao's heart blood, pressing against the enchanting blue stone, shot through the air... flying towards the other side of the bridge.
