The Overlord roared furiously, his whole body shining with blinding golden electric lights. The withered branches and leaves around him were stirred by the Qi Force, rising into the air! Even Crazy Zen and Bai Pu, who were close by, felt their clothes rustling and the wind cutting their faces like knives!

On the surface of the Overlord's body, one layer, two layers, three layers! A full three layers of radiance, each flickering once!

This indicated that he simultaneously used the enhancement of three pieces of equipment or skills to boost the damage of his next attack.

The phantom of a fierce striped tiger appeared behind the Overlord, and the long-handled warhammer surrounded by golden electric currents condensed a gigantic tiger image on its head, striking forward!

Cao Zhang stepped back and swung his Fangtian Halberd horizontally, slicing out a glaring black and red arc. This move was a defensive technique for blocking enemy attacks within a confined circle.

Buzz!

A dull vibrating sound rang out, reverberating endlessly! The Overlord's warhammer was firmly held by the Fangtian Halberd, but the golden lightning-formed phantom tiger still shot out, hitting Cao Zhang's chest!

It turned out this attack had two phases of damage! One was the physical damage (blunt strike) from the warhammer, and the other was the Thunder Damage (Magic) added by the Yellow Heaven Demon Thunder!

The Heart-Protecting Mirror on Cao Zhang's chest shone brightly and shattered. This Heart-Protecting Mirror was clearly a precious treasure, absorbing a large amount of damage before announcing its breakage.

Cao Zhang's body was wrapped in residual Electric Force, with golden electric threads like Spirit Snakes burrowing into his body, causing temporary paralysis.

After unleashing that attack, the Overlord was evidently greatly depleted, breathing heavily and body stiff.

However, neither Crazy Zen nor Bai Pu had any intention to backstab the Overlord - taking this opportunity to rack up some kill contributions was the right choice!

Seeing Cao Zhang's body paralyzed, Crazy Zen seized the chance to strike again. The Cyan Dragon Illusion rose behind him, transforming into two miniature flood dragons coiling around his arms!

Both fists struck out, sending Cao Zhang's body floating in the air, followed by a series of whirlwind-like rapid punches!

Bai Pu lacked Attack Power, but he also had a clever move!

Open the Giant Tuo's Fierce Eye!

The phantom of a Giant Tuo rose behind Bai Pu, increasing his Critical Strike Value by 30 points!

This was the first time Bai Pu used the [Giant Tuo's Fierce Eye].

He immediately felt a difference.

The state of Cao Zhang's body fed back different information to Bai Pu's eyes! The weaknesses of the opponent's body were now clearly visible.

How Bai Pu could perfectly exert force on himself, how to inflict maximum damage, suddenly became clear with a flash of enlightenment, as if divine assistance!

Activate the Scorpion-tailed Lion's Sting!

Two major accessories activated simultaneously, Bai Pu drew his +3 Deep Red Curved Dagger in his right hand, cutting horizontally and vertically, inflicting sharp damage on Cao Zhang three times at the fastest speed!

Two of these were critical hits, though the multiplied damage was not high—Bai Pu's ultimate goal was to inflict Cao Zhang with the Poison Effect.

Fortunately, with the Overlord's demon lightning paralysis and Crazy Zen's chain punching art, Cao Zhang was rendered unable to fight back, allowing Bai Pu to easily inflict three layers of Poison Effect.

Otherwise, with Bai Pu's pitiful Agility value, how could he have hit Cao Zhang so easily, and three times in a row?

Crazy Zen's barrage of attacks abruptly stopped.

Because one of Cao Zhang's personal guards finally found an opening and charged in to block in front of Crazy Zen, braving the subsequent punch force for his Young Master!

Crazy Zen was taken aback and couldn't help but curse the Yellow Turban Remnants and Sun Quan's Army for being ineffective; after all these people were surrounding Cao Zhang's few personal guards, they still let someone through!

Cao Zhang seized the opportunity to catch his breath and immediately exploded in power! With the halberd planted in the ground, an invisible shockwave, wrapped in black and red lightning-shaped Qi Force, expanded with a roar.

Evidently, this was one of the forms left behind by Lu Bu in his Halberd Technique, extremely powerful and of extraordinarily high priority!

The Overlord and Crazy Zen were knocked back like rolling gourds, crashing into large trees, breaking them apart with a crackling sound. Both of them had blood seeping from their mouths, their internal organs damaged.

Bai Pu, however, had preemptively used [Jump Slash], targeting a Yellow Turban soldier nearby, leaping out of the range of this attack's power!

This left the Overlord and Crazy Zen very frustrated. Cao Zhang's large-scale shockwave attack came with no warning, leaving them defenseless.

Bai Pu was the least agile of the three; how could he have preemptively moved to evade this strike?

It wasn't surprising when explained.

Beside the Cuttlefish, two elite leaders wrapped in bandages, dressed in Sun Quan's Army armor, actually were Bai Pu's two slaves!

Moreover, they were Mutant slaves who had lost their ability to think, unlike the first slave, Zhang Gu, who retained autonomous consciousness.

These two elite leaders were, in fact, two elite-level captains (leaders) of the Cao Army!

They were injured and captured, and Bai Pu approached them under the guise of duty, effortlessly turning them into slaves.

After administering Emergency First Aid Ointment to treat their wounds, he wrapped their mutant body parts with bandages to avoid detection.

Therefore, it seemed like the Cuttlefish was cooperating with two elite natives to kill enemies, but in reality, he was collaborating with Bai Pu, ensuring the Treasure Chest drop rate didn't decrease!

Not only that, but why were Cao Zhang's personal guards able to escape the encirclement to protect their master?

It was also Bai Pu secretly manipulating the slaves to make way for an opening!

Based on his understanding of human nature, Bai Pu guessed that once Cao Zhang regained mobility, he would surely unleash his most powerful ultimate move desperately!

So when Cao Zhang's personal guards rushed to protect their master, Bai Pu was already preparing for [Jump Slash].

After Cao Zhang unleashed the large-scale shockwave, he himself was also severely injured. He spat out a mouthful of blood froth and turned to flee!

"Don't let him escape...Gangxin!" The Overlord couldn't help but shout loudly.

He wasn't worried about Cao Zhang escaping, but rather fearing Cao Zhang would crash into Sun Quan's Army, get slaughtered by native troops, which would be utterly heartbreaking!

In fact, Cao Zhang had no intention of escaping. This young man with the vigor of a tiger, chose to break through the encirclement, intending to reunite with his personal guards!

The two elite leaders wrapped in bandages suddenly rushed at Cao Zhang, swinging their knives to intercept Cao Zhang in the Overlord and Crazy Zen's angry, desperate gaze!

Clang!

The Fangtian Halberd and two long sabers collided, the muscles on the bodies of the two elite leaders bulging, and their bandages snapping inch by inch.

With their cover removed, their mutated bodies were revealed.

One elite leader's right arm enlarged, wielding a two-handed saber with one hand, obviously with a drastic power increase.

The other elite leader had a pair of bony wings growing from his back, making his body more slender, with increased speed and jumping ability!

The two Mutant slaves working together were actually able to hold off Cao Zhang for a time.

At this point, the Overlord and Crazy Zen naturally realized that these two guys weren't native leaders at all, but slaves of an Awakened! And their master was obvious by now—

"Gangxin, this guy, is deeply hidden!" Crazy Zen couldn't help but exclaim.

"Luckily that's the case; otherwise, if the natives 'polluted' Cao Zhang's Treasure Chest, everything would be over!" The Overlord flexed his wrists and strode boldly into the fray.

By now, both regarded Bai Pu as an equal rival and would no longer underestimate him due to his Level!

Bai Pu, of course, also rushed forward, continuously injuring Cao Zhang and refreshing the Scorpion-tailed Lion Poison layers with the help of his two slaves.

With 9 points of unremitting poison damage per second, it was certainly not insignificant.

Cao Zhang was clearly one of the well-equipped elites among the natives, with extremely strong defensive capabilities. Even when besieged by the three top fighters among the examinees, he could hold out for a considerable time.

This suited Bai Pu perfectly; the longer Cao Zhang survived, the more his poison damage accumulated, and the greater the contribution from the final kill!

However, the Overlord and Crazy Zen obviously wouldn't just watch. They could also see Bai Pu stealing damage output using the Poison Effect, and with Gan Ning possibly arriving at any time, each passing minute felt like sitting on pins and needles—they wouldn't delay.

Putting forth their utmost efforts, with tiger roars and thunder claps, dragon calls echoing incessantly, they killed Cao Zhang in just five short minutes!
