Bai Pu's right hand brushed his waist, and a long saber appeared in his palm, his whole body wrapped in a layer of blood-red shield. Instead of retreating, he advanced, charging towards the group of people.

Everyone's faces changed, and they quickly dodged aside.

Previously, Bai Pu's [Unstable Shield] had blasted ten Awakened—including an Elite Profession—into disarray, leaving the entire group injured and incapacitated!

Those ten fled the Boundary Land and naturally brought the information back to reality. So now, every low-level Awakened in the Superstar Alliance who still remained in the Demon Abyss knew about Bai Pu's move!

They also knew that Bai Pu had another mutant skill that allowed him to leap down and leave nearby enemies in a floating state, making it impossible to defend against the blast of [Unstable Shield]!

Therefore, no one dared to chase Bai Pu too closely, and they could only watch as he left.

Actually, if a few of them had the resolve to block Bai Pu and force him to detonate the shield, Bai Pu, unable to use the skill again in a short time, would lose his greatest threat. Naturally, others could then swarm in for a siege.

However, none of these people had such resolve!

They were all afraid of dying, and it was said that Bai Pu had a Bloody Artifact. What if they got locked onto and couldn't leave the Boundary Land?

Finally, Owl and his team caught up, only to see Bai Pu had already escaped, prompting him to curse, "A bunch of useless people! What's there to fear about someone with halved Attributes? Get out of my way!"

Relying on his greater Agility, Owl led several Awakened with agility specialties in pursuit!

He was full of confidence, not only because Bai Pu's All Attributes were halved but also because trailing him were several evil Awakened criminals taken in by the Superstar Alliance!

Each of them was a ruthless character, more powerful than ordinary Awakened, and not much weaker than himself.

Surrounding a Bai Pu with halved All Attributes with so many people should be a piece of cake, right?

With their superior Agility, it wasn't long before they caught up with Bai Pu at the end of an alley.

"Heh, don't run, Gangxin!"

Owl's smug voice rang out, "This is the third time we've met, right? You were very ferocious the first two times; why don't you try being ferocious this time, let me see?"

The few Awakened criminals behind him laughed heartily.

Bai Pu suddenly halted, and with a reverse hand motion, he swiped his belt. Amidst flashing golden light, a bang sounded as a large shield smashed onto the ground.

"Huh, an extra shield now?"

Owl scrutinized the [Spider Demon Dominator Shield] carefully, paying particular attention to the dark golden pattern of the Demon Spider Lady on the shield's surface, instantly recognizing its extraordinariness!

A flash of jealousy passed in his eyes as he sneered, "It seems you really reaped quite the benefits in Heart Demon: Oath World. But this is where it ends; today you're going to cough up all those benefits and your own life!"

Bai Pu remained indifferent and ignored him, retrieving a severed limb from the Demon General Ghost Leather from his Storage Space and placing it onto the shield's surface.

On the shield's surface, the pattern of the Demon Spider Lady suddenly flashed with a faint light, engulfing the severed limb of the Ghost Leather.

The shield's skill: [Devouring Enhancement]!

After consuming the severed limb, the large shield's Durability returned to its full value of 80 points! It also gained two additional enhancement effects.

[Power Enhancement: Temporarily increases the user's Power by 5 points, lasting 30 minutes.]

[Endurance Enhancement: Temporarily increases the user's Endurance by 5 points, lasting 30 minutes.]

The reason for two enhancement effects is that the devoured limb belonged to an Enhanced Leader—the Demon General Ghost Leather—with high enough quality, as Ghost Leather excels in both Power and Endurance.

It's conceivable that if a complete Demon General corpse were devoured, the enhancement values could increase further, and the duration might also be significantly extended.

But to deal with the current situation, this is already sufficient.

"Come."

Bai Pu stood proudly, his body covered with scars, but his gaze was sharp and intimidating, "Weren't you after my life? Let's see if you have the ability."

The Awakened criminals exchanged glances.

"Don't drag your feet; the attribute-halved state on him only lasts ten minutes!" Owl whispered.

A nearby Awakened criminal sneered: "Owl, why don't you go first?"

Owl's breath caught; he indeed had a psychological shadow concerning Bai Pu. During their two encounters in Heart Demon: Oath World, he was chased by Bai Pu like a scared mouse.

Especially during the first encounter, he was full of confidence. At that time, Bai Pu had just explored the Yellow Springs Cave, used up all his trump cards, while Owl thought he'd have an easy time obliterating Bai Pu. And what happened?

With just a few strikes, Bai Pu cleaved through his Asura Blood Mist, leaving a large six-petaled snowflake-shaped scar on his chest that persists to this day!

The second time he deliberately provoked Bai Pu because he wasn't convinced, he felt he hadn't performed well the first time, having been caught off guard by a Hundred-eyed Demon at first sight and losing his advantage!

So, the second provocation was after he killed the Hundred-eyed Demon, wanting a fair match against Bai Pu.

But the result was even worse; he barely escaped, thankfully finding the entrance to the Demon Abyss's Boundary Land…

Facing Bai Pu for the third time, even a fierce person like Owl was anxious.

But now that the other Awakened criminals expressed their doubts, he couldn't back down, had to put on a brave front!

"Hmph, if you all want to give me the credit, then watch closely!"

Owl suddenly lunged, his body enveloped in black mist, brandishing his massive scythe.

Bai Pu slightly adjusted his shield, blocking the attack with a clang. He stepped forward and swung his long saber with his right hand.

Owl sneered, "Using a two-handed weapon with one hand?"

Even if he could wield it, the attack penalty must be horrifyingly high.

Simply put, such an attack would be weak and ineffective, unable to exert proper force!

Owl swung his scythe with both hands to intercept Bai Pu's long saber, planning to parry it, open Bai Pu's defenses, and then retaliate by cutting Bai Pu's unshielded neck.

At the moment the scythe and long saber clashed, Owl's wrist shook violently!

He was stunned to find that Bai Pu's one-handed grip on the long saber was powerful, not at all feeling weak and powerless! Instead, his own scythe felt like trying to shake a tree, skewing it off course, leaving himself wide open.

"Isn't his All Attributes halved?"

Owl thought desperately.

Swish!

The blade flashed, Bai Pu's saber thrust straight into Owl's abdomen, cutting a bloody wound, then, under the Wind-Seeking Effect, the blade followed with a slash, opening up Owl's belly!

Owl shrieked in anguish, clutching his spilling intestines as he fled. The Asura Blood Mist rapidly tried to mend his body, consuming more than half of it due to those two strikes.

The other Awakened criminals saw the unfavorable development yet didn't flee. With solemn expressions, they advanced together! They could all tell that the Awakened before them, codenamed Gangxin, was incredibly powerful, not someone any single one of them could handle.

Longswords, long spears, crossbows...

Various weapons, launching a joint attack on Bai Pu.
