Luo Di watched this duel intently, even more nervously than when he faced off against Yu Lu himself.

"Is that bone ashes on Yu Ze? And it's not just any bone ashes, it's dark golden... it should correspond to his Connect World.

The ashes of some strong figure were inherited by him and inscribed upon his body in this way to form a kind of physical Barrier.

It can actually block Hunter's bites... he must have prepared well in advance.

If he can block it, then he indeed has the qualifications for a frontal battle. At that time, I used my tongue to sense danger, which was too risky. If anything happened to my tongue, certain death awaited.

Perhaps Yu Ze really has a chance to suppress Hunter.

But, it still feels very strange... What on earth did Hunter go through? Just after being licked by Gust, did he undergo such a huge transformation?

He completely lacks the aggressive invasion when he ambushed me before. Only when attacked by Yu Ze's zombie did he show a bit of initiative.

Now once again, he has dispelled his Killing Intent, with no desire to devour."

As Luo Di sat puzzled on the chair, Wu Wen had finished cooling down and approached from behind the chair.

"It seems this is the real prize, and it really has allowed Hunter to find the 'path'. The Corner hasn't 'produced' anything for a long time."

This sentence suddenly enlightened Luo Di, making him understand Hunter's current state, "Desire suppression, self-control... Is this the next level that the monster wants to achieve?"

Wu Wen's delicate hands reached out from behind and gently massaged Luo Di's temples.

"Stop thinking about it, this isn't something a human like you should worry about~ Just watch this rare battle; it will be greatly beneficial for both you and me, so don't get distracted even for a moment."

The view shifts back to the playground.

Yu Ze completely changed from his previously relaxed demeanor, slightly opening his narrowed eyes under the sunglasses, glaring with a killing chill.

He chose to engage Hunter in close combat.

Moreover,

The copper coins scattered on the ground, stained with Yu Ze's blood, were also set into motion.

"Sword Control Technique"

Yu Ze could slay enemies without diverting his attention, as if there was a phantom wielding the sword behind him.

The sword attacked the upper route,

The palm penetrated the middle route,

The foot swept across the lower route,

Even though the playground remained unchanged, the spectators seemed to see an Array spreading beneath Yu Ze's feet.

Hunter also sensed the threat and became slightly more proactive,

Started swinging his fists,

Started kicking his legs,

But Hunter's efforts couldn't be considered martial arts, it was more like a street fight. However, every action would be accompanied by a big mouth ready to chomp.

However, Yu Ze's body could steadily withstand the bites, even the most vulnerable neck, eyes, and lower body could endure.

Every collision left only a moderate bite mark on the surface of his body.

After exchanging blows for over ten minutes,

The copper coin sword flying in the air suddenly accelerated its slash.

Hunter felt the danger, hastily using his palm to block. Yet he found that this sword strike's power was greater than before, shattering the teeth between his palms.

The Copper Coin's inherent evil-suppressing properties burned his palm, causing smoke.

Lock!

Yu Ze suddenly held his fingers vertically before him, shouting softly.

The copper coin sword surprisingly transformed into a soft rope, binding Hunter's injured arm.

In an instant,

The middle gate was wide open.

Yu Ze stepped in close, hooking his wrist around Hunter's neck, trying to throw him... strangely, Hunter didn't move an inch.

At that moment,

Yu Ze seemed to see a [scene], a scene Luo Di had also seen before.

Hunter's body resembled a mountain made from countless corpses, rooted in the earth, unmovable.

However,

Yu Ze was unfazed, having analyzed various scenarios, predicting that a top-level Red Door Monster would surely possess an unimaginably massive body.

Even if it were a mountain, he could move it!

With one hand temporarily bound by the copper coin, Hunter could only reach for Yu Ze with his free hand.

This grasp, however, was smoothly countered by Yu Ze, who seized the wrist and suppressed it.

Yu Ze simultaneously activated the Diamond Sutra on his body, executing a charged low sweep kick, powerfully striking Hunter's ankle... precisely the base of the unstable fleshy mountain.

Boom! The mountain wavered,

Yu Ze took advantage of the moment to drive his elbow downward, pressing Hunter's body to bow forward.

He locked his gaze on the back of Hunter's neck, delivering a charged chopping palm!

Slam!

It struck heavily between the cervical vertebrae.

Bolstered by the Diamond Sutra, this chopping palm seemed as if it were delivered by a true Buddha.

Dang!

A massive bell-like sound reverberated across the playground, spreading out,

The flesh and blood mountain of Hunter was surprisingly uprooted entirely, leaning forward... Crash! He fell heavily to the ground, with a noticeable protrusion at the cervical spine, already fractured.

But Yu Ze's attack was not finished,

He stomped heavily on the back of Hunter's head,

The killing intent had arisen,

Yu Ze's brown pupils gradually turned black, like the entrance to an abyss, and his left palm seemed to be dissolving, aiming at Hunter's back.

...

Hunter's perspective.

It had been a while since he felt such imbalance,

To be hurled to the ground by such a young man.

Face down, his head was being firmly stomped by the sole of a shoe, and he could only barely turn his head, with his vision severely restricted.

Clearly already in a dangerous moment,

But he fell into memories again.

[Abandoned Factory, Day Twenty-One]

His wife could no longer bear it and chose to end her life at night.

But as long as there was blood, it would attract the jackals in this place.

Though Hunter woke up earlier than usual, when he opened his eyes, several young men with red-tinted pupils had already arrived at their family's sleeping area.

He wanted to stop them, but was punched to the ground by a strong youth who stepped on him, rendering him immobile.

All he could do was listen to them discuss how to "divide the meat."

He could only watch as they took out prepared tools and began to process right in front of him,

Not only that,

The little boy who wanted to protect his mom was also kicked heavily, kneeling not far away and throwing up continuously, blood mixed with vomit.

He could do nothing,

except be trampled underfoot like this.

Somehow,

as he watched the young men eating, Hunter found himself drooling, a voice sounding in the depths of his mind, from the corner of consciousness.

In just a few minutes,

The area around his wife's body was void of people,

Hunter walked over, looking at the wife he had spent over a decade with, looking at her body now gnawed upon.

At this moment,

He seemed to make a decision, kneeling down and gobbling it up, even though he had just eaten, even though he was already full, he kept stuffing it into his mouth.

When his wife's body completely "disappeared",

He rose to his son's side, who was suffering from severe gastric bleeding due to a hard kick to the abdomen, plus his body was already very weak from this period.

The little boy was now barely alive, holding onto his last breath.

"Dad… where did Mom go?"

Hunter held the boy's head, responding softly, "I took Mom to a safe place, she's with Grandma now, no one will hurt them again."

"Then take me there too, Dad. I'm in pain and so tired, I don't want to stay here anymore.

But I still want to go to school and play with my classmates… When it's not dangerous outside anymore, Daddy, you have to take us out."

"Alright, Daddy promises you, I will bring you out as soon as possible, pinky promise!"

The little boy's barely lifted arm fell down again.

Hunter kept smiling, keeping the promise with his son.

...

On the playground.

The cloth shoe that was stepping on Hunter's head moved away,

He slowly stood up,

The flesh on his back seemed to show signs of dissolving, with his clothes completely dissolved.

But the dissolution was not too deep, the affected flesh had already been bitten off and returned to normal.

Without the cover of clothing,

Hunter's seriously malnourished and over-forty body was completely revealed, could be described as skin and bones.

Even so,

He still spit out the meat in his mouth, showing no intention of eating.

His gaze became incredibly clear at this moment, knowing what he had to do, what needed to be done.

"Daddy doesn't need to eat anything else now, Daddy feels close to bringing you out…"

Just as Hunter was in a subtle state,

On the other side of the playground,

Yu Ze was panting heavily,

The "Diamond Sutra" on him had failed, the entire left half of his body was slashed, and he was currently using a black talisman to cover the wounds, preserving his life.

Yu Ze had no intention of admitting defeat, but the scene in front of him kept him from calming down.

He saw something else, in front of Hunter, appeared a staircase, atop which stood the red door that symbolizes one of the essences of fear.
