My stats are higher than yours!!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!..."

The battle cries rang out again. Morale had reached its peak, and the soldiers' will had undergone a qualitative change. They followed Bai Shuodong's footsteps forward, without the slightest fear in their eyes.

"I...I'm coming!!"

Bai Shuodong revealed a maniacal smile, leaned forward, and activated [Slow Burst].

"Bang!!"

With a loud bang, the frozen soil shattered, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground. Bai Shuodong's body, like a bullet fired from a gun barrel, left a blurry afterimage in the air and crashed straight into the cavalry at the front.

"This guy... is he insane!?"

The foremost ranger's pupils constricted; he was dumbfounded. He had never seen anyone charge at cavalry at such speed. After all, a normal person would try to dodge, not charge head-on at a group of rangers. Weren't they afraid of dying?

He instinctively raised his weapon, but the combination of the slow burst charge and the horse's charge made the two approach each other too fast. Before he could react, the spear tip was already in front of him.

"Sizzle!!"

The iron spear flashed with a cold light, instantly piercing the chest of the cavalryman. The spear's momentum did not diminish, and it also tore open a bloody wound in the neck of another horse behind him.

The warhorse roared and fell to the ground, throwing its rider off. The rider bounced twice on the ground before being rammed by another warhorse behind him. When he landed, his body was twisted horribly, and finally, the warhorse crushed his skull with a single stomp.

Bai Shuodong laughed loudly, his body dancing among the horse formation, wielding his spear to kill cavalrymen and warhorses. He was bathed in the blood of the enemy, and his smile grew even more intense.

"The situation has changed!"

"Switch formation and surround him to kill him!"

The charging cavalry instantly changed formation, spreading out their flanks to encircle the center, but without getting close to Bai Shuodong. They simply dispersed to surround him, firing arrows from a distance.

These cavalrymen weren't stupid. They had examined the bodies of the Gray Rock warriors and had also met up with the archers on the cliff. They knew that Bai Shuodong possessed mid-range slashing ability.

As for why it's not remote?

If it were truly a long-range attack, then he wouldn't need to climb the cliff to use the slash.

They guessed that the distance was about ten meters. They rode horses, maintained a safe distance to shoot, and did not give the enemy a chance to get close. The crowd did not gather together, so they could fight.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."

Arrows rained down.

【Lion's Eye - Lock】

Bai Shuodong focused his mind. In the world of the Lion's Eye, everything was incredibly clear. He could see every single arrow, a result of his enhanced mental attributes.

He smiled, sidestepped, and moved through the rain of arrows like a fish gliding with the current, free and agile. Occasionally, he couldn't dodge them, and he would use his "slash" to cut them down in mid-air, with wood chips and iron arrowheads clattering to the ground.

"Maintain distance! Fire!"

One of the cavalrymen gave a low shout, and the cavalrymen who were relatively close to Bai Shuodong immediately took off, giving him no chance to get close at all. The cavalrymen in the distance continued to fire their guns, seemingly trying to wear him down here by using the mobility of the cavalry.

Do you think this will be useful?

Bai Shuodong smiled as he let an arrow hit him, then casually pulled it out.

[Note: Penetrating injury detected, short-term adaptation trigger]

[Hint: Physical strength increased]

Immediately afterwards, Bai Shuodong felt a dizziness and his vision blurred. He shook his head and his consciousness returned.

[Note: Poisoning symptoms detected; short-term adaptation may trigger this.]

[Hint: Increased resistance to poison]

"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 charged toward the nearest warhorse, crouched down slightly, and used the [Slow Burst] technique to unleash his power.

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

"Flame Spear!"

Flames burst forth from the spear tip, 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 by the crimson fire dragon.

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

There's no way to escape!

He descended with flames, his flaming spear piercing the chest of one rider, and with a backhand slash, an invisible strike instantly felled another from 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 bursts; in their eyes, this guy was the only one in Team WuZ who was difficult to deal with.

other people?

They're nothing but a bunch of worthless bums!

"Whoosh!"

A cold arrow pierced the air and struck the cavalryman 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 extraordinary about him.

At this moment, his breathing was slightly rapid, but there was an undisguised smile in his eyes. He had never thought he could do such a thing before, shooting down the mounted cavalryman. It was unbelievable.

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

"Something's not right."

The commander of the cavalry 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 thing is no ordinary thing!

Bai Shuodong narrowed his eyes and scanned the area with his mental perception.

【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 spurred the horse forward, and it charged with a neigh. He raised his hand, and his battle axe drew a blue arc in the air, as a biting wind swept across his face.

There's no escaping it.

Bai Shuodong made a quick judgment and raised his iron spear to block the attack.

[Slow Burst] Activated!

"Clang!!"

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

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

[Note: A tear in the thenar eminence and a tear in a muscle were detected; this may be a short-term adaptation trigger.]

[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 aching all over.

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 strike from his warhorse hadn't even sent the guy flying. That kid's strength attribute might be higher than his own. Without his warhorse, he probably wouldn't be able to win.

That's right...

剛纔白朔冬的力量屬性，是（6.8+6.8×1.3+2=17.64）點！

He has a slash!

We can't give him a 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 gun barrel under the pressure of the battle axe, but he withstood it, thanks to the crucial role played by his enhanced physical strength resulting from adaptive evolution.

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 slightly and saw that Bai Shuodong's fingertips were condensing into an extremely solid red fireball, 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, raising its hooves and thrashing about.

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

【断】

An invisible slash erupted, instantly striking the gray-eyed man who had been burned alive.

"Ughhhhh!!"

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

He didn't die!

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 with 14 points indicates strong 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.

【断】

The gray-eyed man, almost burned to a crisp, growled and dodged to the side, simultaneously drawing a short knife from his waist and striking the man's arm, severing it. Yet, he still swung the knife at Bai Shuodong as if possessed.

'Does it make 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, his other hand grabbed Gray Eye's neck with lightning speed.

[Slow Explosion]

The five fingers are clenched together.

"Crack!"

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

He was a true warrior. Even in his last moments, even when his physical condition was extremely poor, he was still fighting with all his might. Bai Shuodong's way of showing respect was to kill him completely as quickly as possible.
