["Thunderbird's" skill: Death Cross dealt 44+60 Sharp Damage to you.]

["Wind Sand's" skill: Cloud-piercing Needle dealt 13 points of Blunt Damage to you (129 points of Sharp Damage were blocked and converted).]

["Golden-winged Roc's" normal attack dealt 5 points of Blunt Damage to you (42 points of Sharp Damage were blocked and converted).]

Bai Pu calmly blocked left and right. For the sharp damage he couldn't block, he relied on his high armor to withstand. Fortunately, the Strong Strike Armor had been enhanced to 4.0, providing an additional 12% Damage Reduction.

The current situation, compared to the previous dire straits when facing the Jiang Tuo Group, was nothing significant. Back then, he didn't have such an excellent Tower Shield!

The only regret was that Bai Pu couldn't activate Scaly Skin now. He had to maintain Deactivated Blood Image to reduce the impact of neurotoxins on his body. Therefore, he couldn't achieve extra damage reduction when facing Sharp Damage.

From the combat records, these Awakened individuals were criminals listed on the Special Service Bureau's wanted list.

At this moment, Bai Pu wielded a Two-Handed Long Saber with one hand, combining the Fighting Specialization from both One-Handed Swordsmanship and Two-Handed Swordsmanship! It remained at Advanced Level 4 (Limit Breaker +1).

Without overwhelming technique suppression, combined with Bai Pu's low Agility, these individuals could still achieve some results under their siege.

The scars on Bai Pu's body continued to increase, even old wounds showed signs of reopening, with blood seeping out consistently.

The more these Awakened criminals fought, the more startled they became. They felt as if they were besieging a Spirit Realm boss; the opponent's resilience exceeded their comprehension! If not for the increasing blood from Bai Pu, they would have suspected the opponent was cheating.

"Give it all you've got, he's almost done for!" Owl said through gritted teeth, swinging his scythe.

Bai Pu suddenly burst into laughter.

"It's you who are finished!"

...

Two minutes earlier, Bai Pu's personal information wrist device had alerted him to two messages.

[Yuan Yue: Gangxin, we're here to support you!]

[Yuan Hall: Gangxin, we're in position. With the higher-ups' approval, the Secret Arrow Shooter unit is also present! You can come out at any time.]

Bai Pu could have left then.

But Bai Pu didn't leave immediately.

Leaving then would be considered fleeing, driven away by this group of criminals.

Since promising to be the Special Service Bureau's scalpel to remove the tumors among the Awakened, Bai Pu had to fulfill that.

With Yuan Hall leading the official Awakened unit in position, Bai Pu could finally move freely—

He intended to drive these evil Awakened out of the Demon Abyss Border Land and bring them to justice!

Owl overlooked one detail: the duration of the toxin on Bai Pu's body wasn't ten minutes but five minutes!

Hence, Bai Pu's Poison Effect wore off prematurely, restoring his full strength. After confirming reinforcements were in place, Bai Pu immediately switched Deactivated Blood Image to Scaly Skin!

With a swipe of his left hand, the Tower Shield returned to the rapid deployment zone on the Iron Waist Guard of the Immortal King.

Both hands gripped the Sharp Long Saber!

"This feels the most comfortable, the most natural to use!"

At this moment, the effect of Cao Zhang's Genetic Fragment was still active, and Bai Pu's Power value had reached a staggering 63 points! Including the 20-point bonus from Power confrontation, he could exert the impact equivalent to 83 points of Power!

What does this mean?

Even Demon General Ghost Leather is not much better than this!

A brilliant arc of saber light swept out.

Three of the Awakened criminals were forced to fly backward, leaving only Owl behind.

"Group Leader Yuan Hall, C+ level wanted criminal Owl, take this!"

Bai Pu still had the energy to shout—a voice converted through the intelligent assistant Xiaobai and sent as a message to the personal information terminal of Yuan Hall, deputy group leader of Special Service Group Six.

Intentionally, he didn't push Owl back, instead allowing his scythe to swing over, lightly parrying and sticking, guiding it to his side.

Simultaneously, Owl was pulled by a powerful force, stumbling forward.

Bai Pu aimed at Owl's neck, slicing backhanded!

Owl's face showed horror; with this swing, even Asura Blood Mist couldn't save him. It was a fatal decapitation blow!

Filled with reluctance, Owl's figure gradually faded and disappeared.

Bai Pu pointed the Long Saber, enveloping another Awakened criminal codename "Thunderbird" within his blade's arc, while laughing loudly, "Second, C-level wanted criminal Thunderbird, caught too!"

Thunderbird fully understood Bai Pu's intention. He guessed that the external realm had already turned into an official domain! Owl, previously driven out of the Border Land, was probably caught at the spatial channel.

A dazzling light suddenly erupted from Thunderbird's body, clearly using an Equipment Enhancement skill. His longsword rapidly thrust out in three fiery consecutive strikes!

From Heart Demon: Oath World, "Nan Zhu Burning Heart Style" Swordsmanship...

Flame Pecking Three Techniques!

Facing this whirlwind-like triple strike, Bai Pu's tall, straight body abruptly sank.

His waist strongly twisted, pivoting on one leg, sweeping the other leg out horizontally!

Don't forget, Swordsmanship isn't Cao Zhang's Specialty in Combat Specialization.

The real Specialty was... Long-Handled Weapons and Fighting!

Bai Pu's Fighting Specialization was at Advanced Level 7, essentially crushing with terrifying skill.

Against the triple strike, he instinctively spotted the vulnerability of this high-output swordsmanship technique. If the user concentrated on chain-stabbing, their lower defense would likely weaken!

Therefore, Bai Pu simply used a sweeping kick to break the Flame Pecking Three Techniques. The technique was simple; what's important were vision and judgment.

Due to inertia, Thunderbird was sent tumbling forward.

Actually, this high-output sword skill is generally executed following standard attacks, first using normal attacks to gradually wear down the opponent's toughness, causing them to expose weaknesses, lose balance, and then finish with the skill.

There's a risk associated with skill execution; failing to hit can cause the user to stiffen from the attack, causing a significant opening.

Thunderbird resorted to immediate skill use due to the immense pressure from Bai Pu. Owl's power wasn't weak, yet didn't survive two rounds against Bai Pu!

Bai Pu stood up, casually striking out with his blade, accompanied by a sharp cutting crosswind, directly aiming for Thunderbird's back!

Thunderbird, in a state of skill-execution stiffness, was defenseless and had no choice but to regretfully leave the Border Land. Even though he guessed it was likely swarming with officials outside, getting caught outside was better than getting killed by Bai Pu on the spot.

[Yuan Yue: Wow! Caught two wanted criminals, Gangxin, you're amazing. I want more!]

What audacious words…

Bai Pu, being a young man full of vigor, was reminded of Yuan Yue's full-moon-like figure upon hearing her bold comment... All he could say was, truly thrilling!

Bai Pu looked up, seeing the other two Awakened criminals already ten meters away.

Frightened out of their wits, the two split in different directions. They knew even together they couldn't stop Bai Pu. Only by splitting up could they possibly escape, exploiting Bai Pu's lack of agility and slow movement speed!

It seemed only one could be captured.

Bai Pu instantly targeted the Awakened with the codename "Golden-winged Roc".

Just because your codename has four characters right? Stay for me!

His left hand swiped across the fast equipment zone on his waist, and the Spider Demon Dominator Shield appeared on his left hand. Instantly, Bai Pu spun, executing a Helical Throw!

The Large Shield, glowing with blood, whistled through the air.

This was a throw powered by 63 points of Strength!

Golden-winged Roc was knocked back, rolling on the ground several times, blood choking from his mouth! Resisting the pain, he rose and tried to flee again, suddenly feeling a shadow overhead; Bai Pu's figure dove down like a great bird, slashing heavily with a whirlwind!

Wind-Stepping Slash!

Despairingly, Golden-winged Roc found himself floating with his entire body infused by wind! With his Power attribute, he couldn't possibly contend with Bai Pu and had no strength left to resist.

Before Bai Pu's blade could strike, "Golden-winged Roc" chose to abandon the Border Land, his figure gradually fading and vanishing.

Thus, of the four Awakened criminals besieging Bai Pu, three were expelled from the Border Land by Bai Pu, awaited by official capture.

The last Awakened criminal, "Wind Sand", had fled far away, and Bai Pu, having exhausted his skills, ignored him. Smiling slightly, he watched the following squad of Superstar Alliance ordinary Awakened, choosing to leave as well.
