Douluo: Blade Template, Death Omen is Coming

Chapter 26 Accident
In this ancient forest that has witnessed the vicissitudes of countless years, the collision of Tang Hao and Ren's peerless skills seemed to open a rift in time and space.

With the center of the battlefield as the center, the trees within a radius of several miles seemed to be pushed down by an invisible hand and fell to the ground. Under the residual force of the explosion, the thick tree trunks broke like fragile straws, and wood chips flew everywhere.

On the battlefield, smoke and dust rolled, as if doomsday had arrived. Broken leaves and branches fluttered in the air, like spirits ravaged by the wind, losing their direction. The sun lost its former majesty on this battlefield, blocked by the thick smoke and dust, making the entire battlefield look gloomy and terrifying.

The residual power of the explosion surged like a tide. After an unknown amount of time, the deafening sound of the explosion gradually weakened, but the sound echoing in the forest was still heart-pounding.

At this moment, Ren stabilized his body and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He slowly descended from midair, like a god of war. He opened his palm, and the blood-red light ball was beating in his palm, as if it contained infinite power. At this moment, the fragmented sword seemed to be summoned, condensing and recombining into a complete sword body. Although there were still cracks on the sword body, it still emitted a frightening cold light.

Ren's eyes were as cold as ice, and there was no wavering on his face, as if he had been frozen for thousands of years. He walked steadily and unhurriedly towards the smoke-shrouded Tang Hao. Every step seemed to be on people's hearts, making people feel his determination and ridicule. He wanted to ridicule the opponent who was as strong as him as a winner, so as to gain more glory and role-playing progress in this battle.

"Haha, are you still hiding? You disappoint me so much." Ren's voice was like a cold north wind, penetrating the smoke and dust on the battlefield and transmitting coldly to Tang Hao opposite him.

He walked steadily, and every step seemed to mock his opponent's cowardice. There was a disdainful smile on Ren's lips, and his eyes revealed his dissatisfaction and contempt for Tang Hao.

However, as time passed, there was no response from the smoke on the opposite side, which made Ren frown slightly involuntarily, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

Just as Ren was about to sneer again, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind. The voice was mechanical and cold, without a trace of emotion.

[Ding! Tang Hao mistakenly thought that the host really had a big background and sent reinforcements, and has already fled! Roleplay progress increased by 1%! ]

[Ding! In this battle, Tang Hao's cognition was repeatedly refreshed by the host, and he was extremely terrified. The role-playing progress increased by 5%!!!]

[Current role-playing progress: 17.78%! ! ]

[Tip: It is detected that the host's physical side effects have exceeded the critical value of the system suppression. Please stop using your strength immediately and take a rest! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences at your own risk! ]

The system's reminder caused a subtle twitch on Ren's face. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to maintain an expressionless indifference. The system's reminder was like a cold water pouring over his head, causing Ren, who was originally full of murderous intent, to suddenly feel a sharp pain. The pain surged from all directions like a tide and instantly spread throughout his body.

His body seemed to be protesting. The symptoms of Konjac began to take effect at this critical moment, causing his fingers to twitch unconsciously and cold sweat to seep out of his forehead. Ren knew that if he did not follow the system's instructions, he might face more serious consequences. "Ahem." Ren's voice trembled slightly, accompanied by a faint cough. His body leaned forward slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress the discomfort surging in his body.

He quickly sheathed the sword, and although his movements were swift, he still trembled slightly. He covered his forehead with one hand, as if trying to resist the sudden dizziness, and with the other hand he weakly supported the tree beside him that was half destroyed by the battle. The rough texture of the bark was transmitted to his nerves through his palm, giving him a sense of real touch.

The side effects of Konjac Soo came like a tide, and Ren felt as if his brain was hit by a heavy hammer. The dizziness made him almost unable to stand. He cursed in his heart. Sure enough, his performance progress was low. Although it was no problem to deal with the Titled Douluo, there was still a long way to go before the side effects of the abundant power were eliminated 100%. If he wanted to be truly invincible in the world, he still had a long way to go.

At this time, in order to sober himself up a little, Ren slowly sat down, leaning against the broken tree trunk, his body almost blending into the broken battlefield. He took out the Fragmented Sword again, hugged it tightly in his arms, and leaned his face gently against the cold sword. The coldness of the sword seemed to sober him up a little.

Ren closed his eyes, trying to divert his attention. His thoughts returned to the system's prompt just now, and he began to think about the reason why Tang Hao suddenly ran away. Did he really think that he had a powerful background and brought in reinforcements? In this world, he obviously had nothing, so where did his background come from?

Ren sneered in his heart. He himself was his most solid background. His strength and will were the foundation for him to gain a foothold in this world. He did not need any external help, because he himself was the strongest backing and the sharpest blade!
Blade's mind was in a mess because of the side effects of Konjac. He closed his eyes to find a trace of peace, but they suddenly opened in an instant. The blood color in his eyes became more and more intense, like a blazing flame, which was an obvious sign that the side effects of Konjac were getting worse.

His intuition was sharper than ever, and he could sense the subtle fluctuations in the air around him, the approach of human aura. Not just one person, but a group of people, their auras were strange and strong, and although they were weaker than the Titled Douluo, they were clearly a group of strong men who should not be underestimated.

Blade instantly understood why Tang Hao chose to flee. It turned out that he had already noticed the movements around him. But Tang Hao thought that he was his man. He was already injured, and coupled with the battle with him, he naturally chose to retreat.

Ren didn't have time to think about it. He knew he couldn't stay and wait for those people to come. He stood up quickly, his steps light and firm. He had to avoid these people. If Mokong Shuang had an attack on him now, the consequences would be disastrous.

He knew that if he lost control, he would turn into a ruthless killing machine, and no matter how many people came, he would be able to kill them all with his sword.

This was not the result that Ren wanted. He did not want to see innocent killings happen.

Then, Blade carefully moved through the shadows of the forest, trying to make as little noise as possible with each step.
His figure quickly disappeared among the dense trees, leaving behind only the devastated battlefield ravaged by battle.
