As Chen Bugu, holding the Wind Gale Dagger, turned and stabbed the Goblin Shaman in the head, Ding Wenli felt a surge of energy enter his body.
He knew the Goblin Shaman was dead, and the largest portion of that energy had been taken by Chen Bugu.
Gritting his teeth, Ding Wenli hooked his fingers, and four Cold Steel Flying Daggers flew successively towards Bai Ting at his side.
Bai Ting retreated repeatedly, narrowly dodging all four daggers.
Ding Wenli, freed from the paralysis, was furious and roared towards the sky.
“I'm going to kill you two bastards!”
He was enraged, his eyes fixed on Chen Bugu, wishing he could tear him to shreds, completely oblivious to the speed Bai Ting displayed in that instant of rapid retreat, which had already surpassed Black Iron Three Stars.
Xue Ke had already exited his Kuang Hua (狂化) state; although he was somewhat weak at the moment, seeing Chen Bugu deliver the final blow to their prey still made him gnash his teeth in anger.
He swung his massive mutated arms, about to charge at Chen Bugu, but unexpectedly, the man in the white suit suddenly appeared in his path.
“You're asking for death!”
Xue Ke swung his right arm directly at Bai Ting.
Bai Ting felt a strong gust of wind from the giant arm approaching. He didn't retreat a single step; his right hand instantly transformed into a one-meter-long electric blade, cutting straight towards Xue Ke's attacking right arm.
“Zzzzzzz~”
Xue Ke only felt a lightness in front of him. Before he could react, he saw a huge arm fall to the ground with a thud.
He turned his head and realized his entire right arm had been severed.
The cut was as smooth as a mirror, but tiny electric arcs jumped along it, and these arcs made him feel no pain.
“In terms of attack power, I'm not as good as you. In terms of lethality, you're not as good as me.”
Bai Ting finished speaking, raised his right hand, and charged at Xue Ke again.
Even if Xue Ke was dull, he reacted now.
Four Star! Definitely Black Iron Four Star!
That idiot Ding Wenli was wrong from the start.
Xue Ke had completely lost his will to fight at this point. He was already injured from fighting the Goblin Shaman, and coupled with the exhaustion from the 'Kuang Hua (狂化)' and 'Boiling Blood' skills, he was far from his peak state. How could he fight this man in a suit?
Xue Ke's Mind stirred. He grabbed a handful of dirt with his remaining left arm and threw it forward.
Bai Ting's vision was suddenly obstructed. Worried that Xue Ke might have some kind of desperate, life-for-life killing move, he cautiously retreated temporarily and adopted a defensive stance.
When the smoke and dust cleared, they saw that large figure, Xue Ke, had actually turned and fled…
On the other side, as soon as Ding Wenli saw Xue Ke confront the man in the suit, he manipulated the four Cold Steel Flying Daggers and attacked Chen Bugu.
However, in the next second, Ding Wenli's neck was pressed against a blade.
He could feel the cold touch of the short blade.
He didn't know what was happening; it was as if he had seen things.
With just a blink of an eye, Chen Bugu, who had been 10 meters away, suddenly appeared in front of him, and the short blade was already at his throat.
“What's wrong? Taking other people's achievements, isn't that what you guys like to do the most? Why are you angry now?”
“Now you know how others feel?”
Although Chen Bugu had a smile on his face, Ding Wenli only felt it was the smile of a demon.
“Since you're already Black Iron Four Star, why did you keep pretending?”
Ding Wenli feigned calmness, but the tiny movements of his fingers could not escape Chen Bugu's eyes.
“Didn't you want to use us to wear down that monster? Why are you asking me such a ridiculous question now?”
Chen Bugu answered Ding Wenli's question verbally, but his eyes never left the few flying daggers.
“I advise you not to make any small movements, unless you want to bet whether your daggers are faster or my blade is faster.”
Chen Bugu moved his hand slightly, and the Wind Gale Dagger had already cut the skin on Ding Wenli's neck.
“Heh, we're both Black Iron Four Star. If it weren't for your sneak attack, you might not have won against me.”
Ding Wenli still couldn't figure out how Chen Bugu had gotten to him, so he could only stubbornly attribute it to a sneak attack.
Ding Wenli also had a life-saving item, a one-time life-saving item called the 'Instant Pearl' which he obtained from a treasure chest after the Great Disaster, allowing him to instantly teleport 20 meters.
The 'Instant Pearl' was crushed, and the teleportation activated. Ding Wenli immediately escaped from under Chen Bugu's blade.
Ding Wenli seized the opportunity, activated 'Steel Teleportation,' and four rapidly spinning Cold Steel Flying Daggers suddenly appeared around Chen Bugu, completely sealing off his front, back, left, and right positions.
“Die, you fool…”
Ding Wenli's smile hadn't fully formed before it froze, because his neck once again felt that familiar cold touch.
He turned his head and realized that Chen Bugu was already standing in front of him. A drop of his cold sweat slid down, dripping onto the Wind Gale Dagger, making its cold gleam appear even more transparent.
“You didn't think my ability was really Fireball, did you?”
Chen Bugu's voice was cold; it was clear he was ready to end all of this.
“Wait, wait! You don't want your companions to die, do you?!”
Ding Wenli already understood that he had absolutely misjudged Chen Bugu's strength. This person was terrifying; he couldn't be an opponent.
So, he gritted his teeth and activated 'Steel Teleportation' one last time. Four Cold Steel Flying Daggers were now pressed against the necks of Lin Xiaoxiao, Lin Lin, Wang Bin, and Yan Kuan respectively.
Chen Bugu glanced sideways and saw Lin Xiaoxiao nod at him.
He lowered his blade.
“Right, Brother Chen, we can discuss this. Whatever you want, I’ll…”
Ding Wenli hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly felt his legs go numb, unable to stand, and he collapsed to the ground.
In an instant, Chen Bugu had severed his Achilles tendons.
Although Chen Bugu wasn't a doctor, after three years in the apocalypse, he could manage to sever Achilles tendons.
“Ah! You bastard, then die! I'll drag a few down with me even if I die!”
Ding Wenli's face was twisted in pain. With a ferocious expression, he was about to manipulate the daggers to kill Lin Xiaoxiao and the others.
However, the next moment, his expression was horrified, and he even temporarily forgot the pain, because he found that he could no longer control his Cold Steel Flying Daggers to move even an inch.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes were now glowing with a faint blue light. Her Mind was fully activated, firmly holding down the four Cold Steel Flying Daggers.
She had just broken through to Black Iron Four Star, which was the confidence Chen Bugu had to make his move.
At this moment, the Cold Steel Flying Daggers were like being pressed in the air by two invisible large hands, unable to move even an inch.
“Ah!!!”
Ding Wenli let out another scream; his hands were crushed by Chen Bugu's foot.
He turned his head, intending to ask Xue Ke for help, but saw the man in the suit's right hand transform into an electric blade, directly piercing Xue Ke's chest.
He knew everything was over.
Ding Wenli gave up. He cursed Chen Bugu and the others maniacally.
Chen Bugu looked at him, shook his head, and threw the Wind Gale Dagger to Han Badou, who had appeared beside him at some point.
“The rest is up to you.”
