Chapter 1 Nightfall

Night, a bonfire spreading like a curtain, graceful dances, and falling flower petals, accompanied by twinkling sparks, as if at this moment, our time and space, our lives, are all cleansed by joy.

Morning... The first ray of sunlight shines on Ye Cang's face, a warm glow, seeming to bathe every sincere and kind life.

The three pushed open the door and walked out of the room...

In an instant! The souls of the three were struck by lightning!

Ye Cang's pupils trembled, his brow furrowed.

"What... What happened?"

This scene of pushing open the door, the scene before their eyes, at this moment... the three seemed to have stepped into a hellish red sea.

"They... they're all dead..." Feng Lei said woodenly as he walked.

Just then, a person holding two short blades used to butcher livestock slowly approached the three of them.

This person was covered in scorched and wrinkled skin, about two meters tall, slender but with solid muscles.

The short blades held tightly in his hands made it clear that these were tools specifically for bleeding and slitting throats.

"Shocked, aren't you... Hehehe... No need to doubt, I killed all these elves. I am called Bannya Guidao (Bannya Ghost Blade), from the Bannya clan. You three killed Suigu (Shattered Bone), and you think you can escape unscathed?"

Luke's eyes suddenly sharpened. "We... have never thought about whether we can escape unscathed. Bannya Guidao... what about you? Have you ever thought... whether you can escape unscathed today?"

Luke attacked first, launching a Haqi Hongquan (Heroic Spirit Punch) from afar.

Bannya Guidao had never seen anyone who could release long-range, space-separated damage.

Boom!

The punch hit, and Bannya Guidao was instantly knocked back several meters.

"Ugh... What kind of move is that?" Bannya Guidao asked, suppressing his anger.

"This is my Haqi Hongquan!"

Puff puff puff puff... Bannya Guidao hurriedly crossed his arms to block.

Just then, Ye Cang, who never played by the rules in a fight, quickly circled behind him and threw an uppercut, followed by a monkey-steals-peach move, attacking Bannya Guidao's two eggs.

Bang! With a muffled sound, Ye Cang was suddenly surprised.

"How could this be! Where's his little brother? How could he not have any eggs?"

Bannya Guidao was very angry that Ye Cang had attacked his lower body. While defending, he turned his head and said through gritted teeth,

"You little brat, you dare to attack me!"

In an instant! A cold, dark light flashed past.

Ye Cang knew something was wrong and quickly leaned back to dodge, but unexpectedly... a diagonal bloodstain had been cut from his abdomen to his shoulder, from bottom to top.

After the scarlet red drew a thick arc in the air, Ye Cang fell to the ground, unable to get up.

This strange movement, the speed that the naked eye could not capture...

Even Feng Lei couldn't see it clearly. "Just now... how did he hit Ye Cang while cross-blocking? It's just too strange!"

While Feng Lei was distracted, Bannya Guidao was already carrying Luke's punch, approaching step by step.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Luke quickly said, "Feng Lei! What are you still dazing about? Quickly switch to your Lei Xi (Thunder Breath) form and hold on for a while."

Without allowing any explanation, Feng Lei shouted loudly.

"Haa!"

Lei Xi instantly covered his entire body, and then he attacked Bannya Guidao.

Feng Lei made a mid-air sweeping kick, drawing a Lei Xi crescent moon in the air, shaving towards Bannya Guidao.

Just as the Lei Xi arc was about to hit, Bannya Guidao flipped over strangely, dodging the Lei Xi damage and avoiding Luke's punch suppression.

Feng Lei wanted to go forward and fight, but Luke stopped him.

"Friend... in the last battle, you were the best MVP of the whole game. This time, can you let me have the chance?"

Feng Lei withdrew his Lei Xi form, nodded and said, "Ye Cang is weak. I'll take him away from here first. Friend, you must be careful."

Feng Lei carried Ye Cang and ran outside without looking back.

Bannya Guidao seemed unable to contain his joy, "Heh... your Haqi Hongquan does hurt... but, your attacks can only cause me minor injuries."

"If... the three of you joined forces, you might have a chance to win. As for you alone... may I ask where you got the confidence from... to insist on fighting me one-on-one?"

Whoosh! An orange Haqi heatwave erupted, instantly rushing towards Bannya Guidao.

"What a strong fighting spirit!" Bannya Guidao immediately became alert.

Boom!

Luke threw a punch first, and before Bannya Guidao could defend in time, he was knocked back more than ten meters, and his feet, sticking tightly to the ground, plowed two long ravines.

Luke approached Bannya Guidao at the speed of light to confuse his judgment.

The next second, Bannya Guidao was indeed fooled. He thought Luke was going to fight him in close combat.

"Heh! That's good... close combat is more advantageous for me with a knife."

Suddenly, Luke stopped less than ten meters away... The Haqi Hongquan was released again from afar.

Puff puff puff puff puff...

Bannya Guidao thought, "Damn it! Could it be... his Haqi can infinitely attack from a distance, causing damage to objects?"

Suddenly, Bannya Guidao threw a flying knife at Luke, who casually punched it to break it.

Then, Bannya Guidao threw five more flying knives in a row, all of which were blown away by Luke with one punch.

But Guidao still endured the damage, gritting his teeth and persevering.

Just then, Luke's breathing gradually became rapid.

The reason why Luke's breathing gradually began to urge was because the continuous Haqi Hongquan, in every continuous output bombardment, must take a deep breath, and then hold it in.

Relying on this breath inhaled into the lungs, he gives the opponent an infinite bombardment at his highest and fastest speed.

When this breath in the lungs is gradually exhausted, it is also the end time of Luke's infinite bombardment.

Luke shouted at this time, "Haa!"

Luke squatted in a horse stance, pulling his right fist back to the limit, about to unleash the final super-heavy punch.

Suddenly!

Luke instantly felt a chill coming from behind!

"Not good!"

Just as Luke turned his head to check... the six flying knives that had been cracked before had pierced Luke's knees, elbows, and both sides of his lower back from behind.

Bannya Guidao, who had been infinitely suppressed, actually managed to reverse the situation with only six small flying knives, taking advantage of Luke's brief moment of breath exchange!
