The noble rapier thrust towards Bai Pu like the wind.

Bai Pu had already switched Adaptive Evolution to "Scaly Skin," so there was no need to dodge, he directly took it head-on.

At the same time, the Chainsaw Sword struck Schroeder!

Schroeder let out a painful scream, a giant crack opened on the leather armor of his noble hunter attire, blood flowed down from his chest, instantly creating a long streak of blood!

Bai Pu backhanded the Chainsaw Sword upward, activating the Wind-Seeking Effect!

Schroeder screamed wildly, stepping back to dodge, but Bai Pu's Two-Handed Swordsmanship at Advanced Level 8 already crushed him! Not to mention the 30-speed boost from Raging Fury!

A premeditated stride forward, sticking to him like a shadow, a backhanded slash hit, critical strike!

Schroeder staggered. Even as an Enhanced Leader, with additional Life Value, he wasn't known for his endurance.

After losing 30 points of armor, and with the inherent 30 armor penetration of the Chainsaw Sword, Schroeder's armor could be considered as a negative value against this fearsome weapon!

No damage reduction, it only amplifies the physical damage received!

With full firepower, Bai Pu exhibited amazing combat skills, the Chainsaw Sword completely ignored the rapier's defense, hitting frequently! Schroeder's Life Value was rapidly decreasing.

Worse still, as the pain intensified, Schroeder was gradually losing his clarity, his body began to deform, and his steps became erratic.

Hidden Snake shouted angrily, feeling both anxious and angry!

He had been struggling against Mad Rhino Luz for a long time, mainly because he had Crazy Zen by his side!

It seemed like Crazy Zen was fighting alongside him, but Hidden Snake knew Crazy Zen's nature; at any moment, he might suddenly turn on him!

So, Hidden Snake was only using fifty percent of his strength against Luz, with the other fifty percent reserved for guarding against Crazy Zen.

He originally thought Schroeder the Scholar could quickly deal with Bai Pu—not because he underestimated Bai Pu's toughness, but because he believed magic damage was much harder for Bai Pu to endure than physical damage.

For various reasons, Hidden Snake was not going all out.

Luz's power was also extraordinary, with Bai Pu's Limit Breaker boost, his fighting and Two-Handed Swordsmanship Specialization had reached Advanced Level 7, making him superior to Hidden Snake in specialization!

In the defensive stance of Lead Coffin, Luz was as steady as a mountain, and occasionally emitting the Ring of Shock, further frustrating Hidden Snake!

"Never mind! If Crazy Zen wants to ambush me, let him, I have Shadow Walking anyway!"

Having made up his mind, Hidden Snake erupted, his figure flashed, emerging from Luz's back.

[Shadow Teleportation]!

Upon reappearing, Hidden Snake stabbed a dagger towards Luz's occipital bone, leaving a deep groove on the Ox Horn Heavy Helmet, stunning Luz for a second!

Immediately following, Hidden Snake lunged forward with a pair of daggers, initiating Upper Spin Slash, sending Luz airborne.

A majestic dragon silhouette flickered and vanished behind Hidden Snake, triggering the Dragon Power Technique, amplifying the next strike's damage!

At the same time, two blue lights flashed on Hidden Snake's body, indicating he had simultaneously activated two damage-amplifying equipment skills.

"Spiral Cutting!"

Hidden Snake's body lunged forward suddenly, spinning horizontally like a gyro, the dual blades turning into a meat grinder-like twisted blade, crashing into Luz's back.

The explosive power of this attack was extremely astonishing, Luz roared, his spine and chest were pierced through by the spiral cutting blade!

His Life Value was already around half, worn down from two minutes of combat, and with this burst of Hidden Snake's skills, his entire Life Value was depleted, resulting in death!

Hidden Snake glanced at Crazy Zen, surprised he hadn't come to intervene.

But seeing Crazy Zen assuming a defensive stance, Hidden Snake suddenly realized and smiled coldly: So Crazy Zen cherishes his life, afraid this burst would kill him if hit!

Regardless, Hidden Snake had cleared the obstacle. His skin was ulcerating now, deeply affected by the Flesh and Blood Plague.

The only person not engaged in combat was Princess Christina. This frail maiden, seeing such intense combat and the brutal murder of Mad Rhino Luz in front of her, was overcome with fear, curling up in the corner hugging her knees.

"Are you completely unaware of how terrifying you are...?"

Hidden Snake had no time to explain to the princess, nor could he explain, he simply slashed forward with his short sword—of course, he slowed it down several times to mainly threaten.

Princess Christina was nearly frightened to death, quickly clutching her head, cowering in the lead coffin. Hidden Snake slammed the coffin shut with a sigh of relief.

However, he closed it too late!

Bai Pu's Chainsaw Sword had already slain Schroeder the Scholar!

And Bai Pu's Raging Fury effect had only just elapsed over ten seconds!

With the momentum of killing an Enhanced Leader, Bai Pu turned his sword towards Hidden Snake.

He simultaneously activated Flesh Armor! The Gravity Ball took effect, pulling Hidden Snake's body towards Bai Pu uncontrollably.

The Gravity Ball would affect Hidden Snake by about 18 points of movement speed, reducing his speed to about 62.

While Bai Pu's speed at this moment was a full 55 points! This meant he was nearly matching Hidden Snake's speed!

Hidden Snake crossed his swords to block, intending to use his Combat Specialization advantage to suppress Bai Pu, but only realized upon contact that he was the one being suppressed!

His dual swords seemed useless, Bai Pu's seemingly heavy Chainsaw Sword pierced through the gap in his swords, touching Hidden Snake's chest!

Staggering back, Hidden Snake stepped forward, wielding his giant sword upward, activating the Wind-Seeking effect, attacking with a double swing!

Not daring to receive the damage from this strike, Hidden Snake immediately activated Shadow Walking. Bai Pu's upward swing slashed through the afterimage in the air, leaving him in a moment of striking stiff.

Logically, it was a good opportunity for Hidden Snake to counterattack, but seeing Schroeder the Scholar's corpse, he shivered from head to toe, too afraid to appear, and fled towards the black vine area from whence he came!

His agility at 80 points was indeed remarkable, especially in the Shadow Realm, momentarily escaping the Gravity Ball's slow field, Hidden Snake was fast as the wind, disappearing several dozens of meters away in an instant, only emerging solid from the Shadow Realm later.

Fortunately, after Schroeder the Scholar lost his casting ability, the Blood Pool Imprisonment Array automatically deactivated, otherwise Hidden Snake might have been done for here.

"Such a powerful combat artifact, his agility seemed to increase by thirty or forty points instantly, he could actually keep up with my speed!" Hidden Snake thought with shock, escaping without turning back.

Having abandoned the idea of directly slaying Bai Pu, now he only thought of relying on the Blood Ring Guard to disrupt Bai Pu's profession change task.

Bai Pu did not pursue, nor attempt to use Bloody Artifact to restrict Hidden Snake.

The reason was simple, Bai Pu's main goal now was the profession change!

Once it succeeds, advancing to the Mid-level Awakened tier, heroes like Hidden Snake would be no threat at all! This is the grand tide of things.

And chasing now, regardless of catching up or not, even if he did, so what, Hidden Snake still had the second segment of [Shadow Walking] unused!

Faint firelight could be seen from behind, it was the Blood Ring Guard soldiers who were waiting on standby rushing here—whether it was an order issued by Schroeder the Scholar before he died or one given by General Ralph before turning crazy and mutated.

This is Stockholm, the enemy's capital.

There's also Prime Minister Oxensterna, estimated to be trickier than the Scholar, Bai Pu had used all his trump cards, he had no power to face a second Enhanced Leader, especially one who could command the Blood Ring Guard?
