Bai Pu swung his saber to block, but the cold gleam twisted like a spirit snake, bypassing Bai Pu's saber light and slashing straight at his midsection!

Bai Pu let out a light exclamation and stepped back half a step: "You... are a Native from the Heart Demon: Oath World?"

The ambushing swordsman wore a Wild Warrior outfit, with a high-set hair bun, wielding a Wild Tachi. On the partially exposed skin of his chest, a pattern of a tortoise body with a snake tail could faintly be seen.

This is the Black Tortoise Oath Curse Seal, something Bai Pu also had, but it disappeared the moment he left the Heart Demon World as it couldn't be brought out, reappearing only when he entered the Heart Demon World again.

The swordsman before him could actually retain the Black Tortoise Oath Curse Seal in the Boundary Land, definitely not an ordinary Awakened!

Moreover, the most important evidence was the swordsman having an Advanced Level 4 swordsmanship specialty! This level obviously exceeded that of a Low-level Awakened.

It's known that the Demon Abyss Border Land is just a Low-level Boundary Land, with the highest level for Awakened not exceeding Level 3.

And the Professional Level of an Awakened is a restricting factor for Combat Specialization, a Level 3 Awakener, no matter how they cultivate, can't possibly possess Level 4 Combat Specialization!

Unless one has Bai Pu's Hidden Title ability: Limit Breaker. But the difficulty of obtaining this title is imaginable!

The swordsman unexpectedly also learned the language of the real world, speaking in a hoarse voice: "Leave! I am ordered to guard this place, no one is allowed to enter!"

Bai Pu chuckled: "Oh? So, that means the place you're guarding must hold something very important?"

The swordsman's face darkened as he stepped forward, launching another spirit snake-like sword light.

Bai Pu sidestepped to the left to evade, leisurely saying: "The Beiming Xuan Mirror Style's swordsmanship emphasizes defense, drawing on the heaviness of the Black Tortoise's body, reflecting all enemy attacks like a profound mirror! But your sword path is too agile, losing the heaviness's true intent. If Beiming Jihu were here, he would likely shake his head and sigh."

"Beiming Jihu? Never heard of him."

The swordsman snorted: "You only know part of it! The Black Tortoise's tortoise body and snake tail, my swordsmanship draws from the change of the snake tail!"

After hearing Beiming Jihu's name, the swordsman was unfazed, thrusting his sword again!

Bai Pu was slightly surprised, as he had mentioned Beiming Jihu's name intending to unnerve his opponent, only to find this Elite Warrior from Beiming Xuan Mirror Style completely unmoved by the mention of Beiming Jihu.

However, Bai Pu had already decided on a swift resolution, smiling, he no longer dodged and charged forward!

The originally aimed sword thrust at his chest was forcefully endured by him, tearing through scaly skin, piercing into flesh, with blood oozing out.

-46!

"The Attack Power is not bad."

In the swordsman's astonished gaze, Bai Pu extended his long, powerful palm and suddenly gripped his shoulder!

With a superior strength restraint, half of the swordsman's body was paralyzed. Nonetheless, he managed to draw a wakizashi (short sword) with his other hand and aimed it at Bai Pu's throat.

Yet Bai Pu still advanced instead of retreating! Taking the wakizashi's counter-slash on his chest without even flinching.

Then... Bai Pu forcefully collided! A headbutt, causing the opponent's nose to bleed profusely, followed by elbow strikes, a step-kick, executing three consecutive ordinary fighting moves, forcing the swordsman to retreat repeatedly, increasing his vulnerabilities (stiffness)!

Bai Pu tightly gripped the sharp long saber with both hands, after a short power-up, slashed it out like a long river!

Sshh!

A fountain of blood gushed fiercely.

Then, triggering the Wind-Seeking Effect, the tip of Bai Pu's saber carried a slight whirlwind, reversed upward for another slash!

Blood splattered, a flesh strip about a foot long was forcibly carved out by these two slashes! A severed bone stump could vaguely be seen.

Engaging with Bai Pu in an attack exchange, both endured equally intense attacks, but the resulting wounds were vastly different!

In terms of strength, this Warrior was only equivalent to an Elite Disciple under the Beiming Dojo, merely a Level 4 Elite Template.

Seriously injured, the Warrior grunted, rolled on the spot, and retreated from Bai Pu's saber light range.

Bai Pu glanced aside, noticing that the Warrior was guarding an alloy security door, distinct from other doors, equipped with a password lock, appearing to be some sort of vault.

Bai Pu lifted a foot, kicking the alloy security door. Alarms blared insanely, but at this chaotic time, the Superstar Alliance had no time to care!

After two kicks, the alloy door collapsed inward with a boom, leaving only two dented footprints.

The Warrior shouted once more, lunging forward, his sword shadows snakelike, aiming for Bai Pu's back!

"Though loyally fulfilling your duty, unfortunately, that makes you my enemy!"

Bai Pu's figure abruptly slammed backward, the sword shadow landing on his back, seeming to pierce thick layers of old leather, unable to break skin into the flesh!

This was because Bai Pu's earlier heavy slash had severely injured the Warrior, diminishing his execution significantly, reflected in attribute values, dropping by nearly half!

Bai Pu's backward slam was extremely fierce, under the strong force of repulsion, the sword blade almost bent, finally sliding off Bai Pu's back, leaving only a shallow blood mark.

As a result, the Warrior had no room to evade! Bai Pu's back directly smashed into his chest.

This was a collision empowered by 29 points of strength, like a raging carriage, sending the Warrior flying back, crashing into the wall! Almost like an earthquake, fragments and dust were falling from the corridor's ceiling!

The Warrior coughed up clotted blood, followed by a coldness in his chest as a bright saber blade plunged straight in.

Yet Bai Pu didn't even turn, reversing the grip on his long saber with his left hand, pushing the hilt with his right hand, sending the blade back through his own side, and stabbing through the Warrior's heart.

With a tightened breath, Bai Pu pulled out the items from the hole.

His eyes beheld a dazzling green light, seemingly a piece of equipment, without seals, which Bai Pu could not use.

The wakizashi at the Warrior's waist also emitted a faint glow. Bai Pu bent down to pick it up, discovering it was actually an Anchor (Ticket), pointing to another destination.

Bai Pu wasn't in a hurry, he could either keep it for himself or sell it.

Besides the Samurai Sword and wakizashi, the Warrior had no other decent equipment, merely a standard plain Swordsman robe, so Bai Pu wasted no time searching.

Reflecting briefly, he pushed the Warrior's body aside, then stepped inside the vault door.

The interior was an office, decor rather luxurious.

He lightly tapped his forehead with his finger, extending a small range of Spiritual Power, enveloping the entire office.

Bai Pu frowned slightly, because inside the hidden cavity in the wall, nothing was left but a faint glow.

Bai Pu's breathing tightened for a moment.

What he saw was a dazzling green light, seemingly an item, flashing faintly in the cavity.
