I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Gu Yan made the most of the terrain.

Three more Bone Eaters charged forward.

Gu Yan's pupils flashed with a seven-colored light.

The one in the middle suddenly turned and lunged to the left, crashing into the wall.

Its hearing was impaired, and it thought there was prey on its left.

The one on the right slowed down its pace, and the scent it smelled suddenly faded.

Only the one in the middle was unaffected and pounced straight at them.

Gu Yan dodged its claws and plunged her knife into its ribs.

The blade was almost completely submerged when black liquid gushed out.

The Bone Eater screamed, collapsed to the ground, twitched twice, and then remained motionless.

Gu Yan drew his sword, took two steps back, and returned to his defensive position.

His clothes were splattered with black liquid.

There are several red, burning burns on the back of my hand.

But his breathing remained steady and his hands did not tremble.

He had already killed five, leaving only seven or eight.

The Bone Eaters who had been lured away by the rubble in the distance had already realized what was happening.

They found no prey and were heading back.

In at most a minute, he will be facing a dozen or so Bone Eaters again.

He calculated how long his stamina could last.

I can probably fight at full strength for another five minutes.

Five minutes is enough.

He doesn't need to kill them all; he just needs to hold out until someone comes to rescue him.

This is the entrance to the Grand Secretary's residence; the Marquis of Wu'an's residence is right next to it.

It's impossible for such a commotion to go unnoticed.

He just needs to hold on until someone comes.

Gu Yan knew that this was what she thought, but reality was cruel.

He was racing against time, with only two years and ten months left to live.

We can't die here, can we?

Hopefully, people outside will react quickly enough.

It's only been a dozen minutes since the secret realm opened.

But the rescue hasn't arrived yet, so he has to hold on.

He crouched behind the broken wall, holding the knife across his knees.

The seven-colored light in his pupils gradually stabilized.

The Mirror Flower Imperial Seal maintains a minimum range of perception.

There were still roars in the distance, but their numbers had dwindled.

He just killed more than twenty Bone Eaters.

Those things are fast, but they're not very smart.

His illusions were just the right thing to do with them.

A Bone Eater charged at him, and he showed it the cliff.

He let the two rush towards each other, causing them to collide.

If there are three or more, he will use pebbles to make noise and lure them away.

Knife skills are just the final touch in finishing off an opponent; the real key is his eyesight.

His brain is his most powerful weapon.

Another Bone Eater pounced from the left.

Gu Yan didn't move, waiting until it was within three steps before turning to the side.

A knife was plunged into its throat, and black liquid gushed out.

Without looking at the result, he jumped back a step.

Because another one had already pounced on us from the right.

His pupils flashed with a seven-colored light, and the Bone Eater suddenly turned and pounced on the wall next to it.

His head hit the rock with a dull thud.

Gu Yan slashed its neck with a knife, ending its suffering.

He took a breath and counted the corpses on the ground.

All twenty-eight Bone Eaters died.

He killed him all by himself, without relying on anyone else.

His body was splattered with black liquid, all over his clothes and face.

But he stood ramrod straight, the knife held horizontally in front of him.

Under the dark red sky, he stood alone amidst the corpses.

He was covered in blood, but he didn't look disheveled at all.

Instead, it has an indescribable sharpness and handsomeness.

He flicked the black liquid off the knife and quickly glanced around.

Footsteps could be heard in the distance, much louder than those of the Bone Eaters.

Each step made the ground tremble, the pace was slow and heavy.

That wasn't the voice of the Bone Eater; the Bone Eater's footsteps were as light as a wolf's.

The sound is like a rhinoceros, like a tank.

Gu Yan's pupils shone even brighter with their seven-colored light.

The image was zoomed out and brought into his field of vision.

It is a member of the Iron Clan, and there is only one.

Its entire body is covered in silver-gray metallic armor, which is covered with ridges and spikes.

It gleamed coldly under the dark red light.

It was three times larger than the Bone Eater, resembling a small calf.

It has four antennae on its head, each as thick as an arm.

Its tentacles swayed incessantly in the air, like four venomous snakes.

Gu Yan quickly searched for information in her mind.

An elite member of the Steel Clan, a near-A-level alien beast, considered a mini-boss in the secret realm.

It's two whole levels higher than the Bone Eater.

Its carapace is thick enough to withstand the blows of ordinary swords and knives.

Its four antennae give it twice the sensory abilities of a regular Ironhide.

It has immense strength but is not fast, yet its impact can knock down a wall.

It's not easy to fight, but it's not impossible either.

Gu Yan didn't panic. He squatted behind the broken wall and began to analyze the situation.

The Steel Creatures have no sight; they rely on their tentacles to sense vibrations and smells.

The Mirror Flower Seal can interfere with its tentacles, but four tentacles are much more difficult to deal with than two.

It requires interfering with four sensing channels simultaneously, which would place a huge strain on the supernatural energy.

Moreover, its carapace is too thick; his knife might not be able to cut through it.

We need to find weaknesses.

Joint gaps, neck, groin.

And then there's the antennae themselves; the base of the antennae is the weakest point in their defenses.

He devised a plan.

First, sever the tentacles, then disable their mobility, and finally find an opportunity to stab their joints.

But he only has one chance, because his powers will be exhausted after defeating this one.

He took a deep breath and stepped out from behind the broken wall.

There was no concealment of footsteps, because the Iron Clan sensed them through vibrations.

The more steadily he walks, the less likely it is to spot him.

But the Iron Clan member still stopped.

Its four tentacles all point in the direction of Gu Yan, and the tentacles swing at a very high frequency.

It wasn't because he wasn't walking steadily enough, but because he couldn't control the vibrations in his heartbeat, breathing, and blood flow.

The Iron Clan member strode towards him, the ground trembling with each step.

Gu Yan stood still, without retreating.

His pupils exploded with seven-colored light, and the Mirror Flower Imperial Seal was fully activated, leaving no room for retreat.

The sensory channels of all four antennae were simultaneously disrupted.

The Iron Clan's tentacles thrashed wildly, sensing that the world was collapsing.

The direction of the sound was disordered, the intensity of the smell was disordered, and the frequency of the vibration was distorted into a jumbled mess of signals.

Its trajectory began to veer off course; it was originally heading straight for Gu Yan, but now it veered two meters to the left.

Gu Yan dodged to the right, avoiding its charge, and rushed to its side.

With a flash of light, the blade struck the base of one of the tentacles.

The blade sank in half an inch, and the carapace cracked, but it didn't break; the tentacle was too thick.

The Iron Clan creature let out a piercing metallic roar and violently swung its body.

Gu Yan was thrown out and slammed into the wall, her back burning with pain.

But he gritted his teeth and got up, with no time to cry out in pain, as he still had three tentacles that needed to be cut off.

He charged forward again, this time with all his might, slashing at the same tentacle with each strike.

The first cut widened the crack, and the second cut caused black liquid to seep out.

The third cut severed half of the tentacle, leaving it hanging there dangling; the fourth cut severed it completely.

Black liquid spurted out and splashed all over his face.

The Iron Race member went berserk, its body beginning to charge wildly.

It trampled holes in the ground and knocked down several sections of the broken wall.

Gu Yan dodged its charge, circled around to the side, and slashed at the second tentacle with her knife.

One cut, two cuts, three cuts, and the second tentacle was severed as well.

His arms began to tremble, not from exhaustion, but from the fact that his superpowers had been overdrawn.

The Mirror Flower Seal has been open for too long, and the simultaneous interference from all four tentacles consumes a huge amount of energy.

His pupils began to hurt, as if someone was pressing on them with their fingers.

But he can't stop; he still has two tentacles.
