My stats are higher than yours!

[Hint: Physical strength increased]

Immediately afterwards, Bai Shuodong felt a blur before his eyes and inexplicably felt a little dizzy. He shook his head, and his consciousness returned.

[Note: Poisoning detected; short-term adaptation triggered]

[Hint: Poison resistance increased]

"Oh, so it's poisoning! I thought it was because I didn't sleep well last night!"

'The arrow was poisoned; how insidious!'

Bai Shuodong smiled, but the smile on his face grew colder and colder. He rushed toward the nearest warhorse, crouched down slightly, and used [Slow Burst] to charge up and unleash his power.

The psionic energy surged, and a blazing flame burned at the tip of the spear, drawing a burning arc in the air.

"Flame Spear!"

Flames burst forth from the tip of the spear, like a crimson fire dragon charging into the cavalry formation. Several nearby warhorses were startled and ran back for their lives, as if afraid of being swallowed up by the crimson fire dragon.

However, with the boost from [Exhilarating State], the acceleration from [Azure Wolf Banner], and the power enhancement from [Slow Burst], Bai Shuodong's burst was simply too fast!

There's no way to escape!

He descended amidst flames, his flaming spear piercing the chest of one rider, and with a backhand slash, an invisible strike instantly cut another rider off his horse.

"Hahahaha!"

He laughed amidst the flames and blood mist, his voice sounding as if it came from hell.

The rangers in the distance were still firing at Bai Shuodong in scattered shots; in their eyes, this was the only troublesome guy in the grain transport team.

other people?

They're nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs!

"Whoosh!"

A cold arrow pierced the air and struck the ranger in the neck, knocking him off his horse.

The one who shot the arrow was a guard they looked down upon, an ordinary guard with nothing special about him.

At this moment, his breathing was slightly rapid, but his eyes held an undisguised smile. Shooting down the mounted ranger was something he never thought he could do; it was incredible.

At the same time, the other guards also launched an attack, surrounding and eliminating the rangers from all sides.

Something's not right.

The Ranger commander frowned.

He was a one-eyed veteran with gray hair braided and hanging down his shoulder. His face was filled with cold killing intent. He took out a long-handled battle axe from his back, the blade gleaming with a pale blue light.

This old man is no simpleton!

Bai Shuodong narrowed his eyes and scanned the area with his spiritual senses.

【Gray Eyes (Level 1 Boss)】

Race: Human

[Basic Attributes: Strength: 15, Agility: 10, Constitution: 14, Spirit: 8]

A level 1 leader with very high four-dimensional attributes, and an astonishing 15 points in strength. As expected of a leader-level powerhouse, he is indeed very powerful!

Bai Shuodong smiled even more broadly.

"Let's fight!"

With a quick squeeze of his legs, Grey Eyes sent his horse charging forward with a neigh. He raised his hand, and his battle axe drew a blue arc in the air, as a biting wind swept over him.

There's no escaping it.

Bai Shuodong made a quick judgment and raised his iron spear to parry.

[Slow Burst] Initiation!

"clang!!"

In an instant, a deafening clang of metal clashing against metal exploded across the plain.

Bai Shuodong's feet dug two deep furrows in the ground as he was pushed several meters away, his hands split open and blood flowing down the gun barrel.

[Note: Tears detected in the thenar eminence and body muscles, indicating short-term adaptation has been triggered.]

[Note: Improved grip strength, increased physical strength, and faster self-healing]

"interesting."

Bai Shuodong raised his head, his eyes burning as if fire were burning inside him, and his body ached terribly.

If he hadn't used [Slow Burst] to boost his strength and damage reduction attributes to fight back, he would most likely have been killed by that old bastard with a single axe blow.

15 points of Strength + Warhorse is that powerful!

"Ok?"

Gray Eyes frowned. His axe blow from his warhorse hadn't even sent the guy flying. That kid's strength might be even higher than his. Without his warhorse, he probably couldn't win.

That's right...

刚才白朔冬的力量属性，是（6.8+6.8×1.3+2=17.64）点！

He has a slashing attack!

We can't give him that chance!

Gray Eyes charged forward on horseback once more, the sharp sound of air being cut rang out again, and the second axe fell.

"clang!!"

The terrifying force pressed down, bending Bai Shuodong's spear shaft under the weight of the battle axe, but he withstood it, the enhanced physical strength resulting from his adaptive evolution playing a crucial role.

Bai Shuodong suddenly raised his head, revealing a devilish and ferocious smile. He used his spear to block Gray Eye's battle axe, freeing one hand and pointing two fingers at Gray Eye.

'It's a slash!'

His gray eyes flashed, and in an instant, he used one hand to protect his vital organs.

The expected slash did not come.

He peeked out and saw that Bai Shuodong had condensed an extremely solid red fireball at his fingertips, and his lips were moving slightly, as if he were chanting some kind of incantation.

Gray-eyed stared wide-eyed, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

Damn it!

Are you trying to play dirty tricks on me?

"Flame Bomb!"

"boom!!"

The fireball shot out instantly, striking Gray Eyes at incredible speed and bursting into flames. The flames engulfed Gray Eyes' body in an instant, and the warhorse let out a painful neigh, rearing up and thrashing about.

However, this did not stop Bai Shuodong from delivering another blow; his gesture remained unchanged, and his smile persisted.

[Broken]

An invisible slash erupted, instantly striking the gray-eyed man who had been engulfed in flames.

"Ughhhhh!!"

Gray Eyes roared in agony as his battle axe fell to the ground, a huge wound splitting open in his chest. The warm blood that had just flowed out was burned into white smoke by the flames.

He is not dead!

He fell from his horse, his exposed skin was charred black, his body trembled, and blood dripped continuously, but he still did not die.

A constitution of 14 points is strong enough to boost vitality!

Bai Shuodong squinted.

He instantly dropped the bent iron spear, extended two fingers, and pointed at Gray Eyes, who was lying on the ground groaning, without the slightest hesitation.

[Broken]

Ash Eyes, almost burned to charcoal, growled and dodged to the side, drawing a short knife from his waist and slashing at his arm, severing it. But he still swung the knife at Bai Shuodong like a madman.

'A last-ditch effort?'

Bai Shuodong bent over and leaned back, the tip of the knife grazing his nose and even cutting off a lock of his hair.

As expected of a leader-level powerhouse, his vitality is indeed tenacious. It's just a pity that his current condition is too poor, and even with 10 points of agility, he cannot fully utilize it.

A strong person!

I respect you!

Bai Shuodong waved his hand, instantly unleashing a [Slash] that struck Gray Eye's wrist, severing his short sword. At the same time, he grabbed Gray Eye's neck with his other hand at top speed.

[Slow Burst]

Bring your five fingers together.

"Crack!"

Gray-eyed's neck was snapped in two, and his trembling hand, reaching out to Bai Shuodong, fell to the ground.

He was a true warrior. Even at the last moment of his life, even when his physical condition was at its worst, he was still fighting with all his might. Bai Shuodong's way of showing respect was to kill him completely as quickly as possible.
