"The speed of that strike, could it be that Agility has broken a hundred?" Atte from the Iron Crocodile trio exclaimed in disbelief, "Emperor Gustav is a Lord with an Endurance Specialization!"

"Emperor Gustav's own Agility is as high as 60 points; within his domain, his theoretical Agility can reach 66 points! It seems some bonuses are offset by Gangxin's domain, but Gustav's Combat Specialization must be Advanced Level 8 or above, hence the attack speed comparable to 100 points in Agility."

Blue Spirit from the Iron Crocodile trio analyzed, "But his actual attack speed remains in the sixties, it's impossible to be over a hundred points. From a game perspective, his 'attack wind-up' is extremely short, but the 'recovery time' after the attack is relatively long."

The Awakened imagined themselves in Bai Pu's position and shook their heads one after another.

Can't win, can't block, can't escape.

The onlookers all felt the intense pressure; Bai Pu, facing it directly, felt it even more profoundly.

The theoretical damage of this sword strike from Gustav is as high as 1226 points (critical hit), even higher than the Blood Mist Butcher!

It's important to know that this Emperor already has 90 points of Power, and with the bonus of the Blood Ring Domination Domain, it's close to the threshold of 100 points!

The broadsword in his hand is stained with blood, exuding a sense of historical weight, clearly not an ordinary weapon, possessing quite formidable armor-breaking effects.

Additionally, with the Advanced Level 8 Combat Specialization damage bonus of 115%, Fighting Qi output damage bonus, and a 10% damage boost from Level Suppression...

For an ordinary non-Tank Type Level 5 Awakened, even an elite, a single stab from this sword would leave them severely injured, if not outright dead.

Currently, Bai Pu's chest Armor Value is as high as 100 points; even with the broadsword's inherent Armor Penetration, he still retains seventy to eighty Armor Value, providing over 50% damage reduction against a Level 6 Lord. Additionally, he has [Scaly Skin] for 50% reduction against Sharp Damage, and a 12% reduction from upper body Enhancement +4!

After layer upon layer of damage reductions, the actual damage of this sword is... 255 points.

The damage is not low, but for Bai Pu, with a current Life Value maximum of 2650 points, it's within an acceptable range. As long as he's careful not to receive continuous critical hits, he can hold on for a while.

After Gustav thrust the first sword, Bai Pu's form slightly wavered, somewhat staggering from the hit. Gustav immediately stepped forward, the Golden Heavy Shield crashing in like a towering wall.

Bai Pu took the charge, staggering once more.

Following that, Gustav executed a quick kick to further expose Bai Pu's weaknesses, then slashed diagonally at Bai Pu's neck with the broadsword.

Just narrowly avoiding having his neck sliced, Bai Pu abruptly tilted his body, causing the sword to cut into his shoulder instead.

There was no critical hit, but Bai Pu's shoulder flesh was badly torn, and blood flowed profusely!

"Such a fluid attack... Seems like my current strength still falls short in a one-on-one against a higher-level Lord. However, my greatest advantage is not in dueling alone!"

Bai Pu took a deep breath, enduring the pain in his shoulder, using the force from the sword strike to roll abruptly sideways!

Immediately, Bai Pu activated the sprint special effect of the Elk Hide Boots, significantly increasing his speed, not retreating but advancing, heading toward the chariot behind Gustav, and then towards the Blood Ring Mutant Legion behind it!

It seemed quite bizarre since, clearly, injured, Bai Pu should have returned to the formation of the Swedish Rebel Army, leveraging the strength of the lower-ranking soldiers to besiege Gustav. Yet, he did not and instead charged straight into the ranks of the Blood Ring's army!

Gustav's speed was reduced by the Blood River Territory, unable to catch up with Bai Pu immediately, watching Bai Pu sweep past the pride of lions.

Thud, thud, thud!

The rhythmic drumming of liberation seemed to resound, the fluctuation from the Primordial Heart spreading out, causing the Blood Ring Curse Seals on those lions to dissipate entirely!

Freed from Gustav's control, the lions reverted to their feral state, immediately dragging the Golden War Chariot into chaos, quickly breaking free from restraint and charging into the battlefield!

With these mutant lions obstructing him, Gustav's time to catch up to Bai Pu extended further.

Bai Pu temporarily deactivated the Blood River Territory, conserving the consumption of Blood Fighting Qi. He leaped high, engaging the Wind-Stepping Slash, diving into the densest area of the Blood Ring Mutant army, where the strongest gathered.

"Audacious—" Gustav roared angrily, unable to stop Bai Pu.

Bai Pu's heart pounded fiercely; the mighty effect of the Primordial Heart rapidly spread, causing the Blood Ring Curse Seals on the foreheads of the surrounding Blood Ring Mutant soldiers to quickly fade away.

These out-of-control Blood Ring Elites descended quickly into chaos.

Except for the few Blood Ring Guards unyieldingly loyal to Gustav, following the commands of Gustav and Marshal Horn even without the Blood Ring Curse Seal, the majority of the Blood Ring Elites transformed into beasts acting purely on instinct!

They scattered across the field, attacking indiscriminately with bloody ferocity.

However, no mutant dared attack Bai Pu; in Bai Pu's presence, this group of mutant monsters sensed a daunting power, their remaining instincts compelling them to avoid him.

Should Bai Pu's Primordial Heart lose control, like Princess Christina, he would rapidly mutate into a Mother of Flesh and Blood Plague, endlessly expanding his range and transforming all nearby living beings into mutant monsters while already mutated monsters would undergo deep mutation!

Also, Bai Pu posed a greater threat than Princess Christina, his Primordial Heart being synthesized from two pieces.

However, due to a successful job transfer, the power of the Primordial Heart was fully bound within Bai Pu's body, surfacing only when Bai Pu voluntarily triggered it.

Thus, Bai Pu did not become a terrifying Mother like Princess Christina.

"At all costs, kill him!" Marshal Horn roared out the order.

All Awakened in the Blood Ring Camp received the side quest prompt.

[Side Quest: Kill the Plague Mother]

[Quest Objective: Kill Sweden Uprising Commander Dior Fulri.]

[Quest Difficulty: A]

[Quest Duration: 30 minutes]

[Quest Reward: Blood Ring Camp Battle Merit 1000~10000 (Fluctuating reward, based on the time spent to kill the target)]

[Failure Penalty: None]

Several Awakened teams in the Blood Ring Camp looked at each other.

"How do we kill him? Gangxin should have a forced escape artifact, if he sees the situation is unfavorable and escapes this world, wouldn't our task certainly fail?" Atte said, "Should we use a Bloody Artifact?"

"I just checked the Spirit Realm Will's explanation; even if Gangxin escapes this world, in the perspective of the natives, it still counts as Gangxin's death! Thus, our task would be considered complete," said Blue Spirit.

"So what? Do we do it or not?"
