If the visibility had been good at this moment, and the god-blessed warrior had removed his protective suit, Xiang Yuntian would have seen that beneath his skin, there was a dense layer of scales!
The sharp dagger had only cut through the surface of the skin, but had not caused fatal damage to the scales beneath, merely leaving a white mark on them!
While Xiang Yuntian was momentarily stunned, the god-blessed warrior suddenly twisted his body in place. Then, he extended his other hand, and with his samurai sword, he fiercely slashed at Xiang Yuntian's legs.
Xiang Yuntian's figure flickered, and he retreated more than two meters, dodging out of the attack range!
At this moment, the god-blessed warrior suddenly flipped his hand. The samurai sword in his hand did not continue to attack Xiang Yuntian, but instead cut the rope snare tied to his legs.
Xiang Yuntian was very surprised. He never expected that the god-blessed warrior before him would have such a clear mind and not be inferior in martial arts!
In fact, before this god-blessed warrior was transformed into a monster, he was an ace in the special operations unit of the Japanese military, the king of kings among soldiers.
Now, his body had undergone gene fusion and modification, and a soul jade was implanted in the back of his head. This caused him to lose his self-awareness and become a controllable puppet.
However, his past combat instincts and fighting techniques remained completely intact!
The god-blessed warrior sprang up from the ground with a carp-like leap, dragging his sword and charging at Xiang Yuntian. He thrust out with his sword, and Xiang Yuntian raised the dagger in his left hand, blocking the incoming samurai sword. He intended to draw the sword away and then stab directly for the vital points with his other hand.
However, when the dagger collided with the samurai sword in the opponent's hand, Xiang Yuntian, the fourth master, could feel the immense force transmitted to his hand!
He was greatly alarmed. This was not the strength of an ordinary human. The tremendous force almost made the dagger in his hand fly out. And in this moment of stunned silence, the god-blessed warrior opposite him adopted the same move, cutting towards him with a hand blade from his other hand.
Xiang Yuntian was somewhat bewildered by the sudden turn of events. He could only reach out to block, but he immediately felt a stinging pain in his wrist. It was then that he discovered that this god-blessed warrior not only had very sharp fingernails, but the middle finger's nail seemed different from ordinary human fingernails, looking somewhat like a viper's fangs!
At this moment, the pain in his hand was not ordinary. Xiang Yuntian's expression changed drastically, and he turned to run.
The god-blessed warrior, having struck successfully, was unwilling to let Xiang Yuntian escape. He raised his samurai sword and pursued closely behind him.
The characteristic pit organs of snakes allowed them to track injured prey very well.
In fact, the attack methods of venomous snakes are different from those of non-venomous snakes.
Most non-venomous snakes are large. They rely on biting prey and then constricting it with their bodies, breaking the prey's bones and suffocating it, before swallowing it.
Venomous snakes are different. They have evolved venomous fangs and venom glands.
Upon discovering prey, venomous snakes quietly launch an attack, bite the prey, inject venom into its body, and then immediately retreat.
This way, they do not have to worry about the prey injuring the snake during its death throes. The prey will then escape, and the snake will use its pit organs to detect the residual temperature in the air along the prey's escape route, eventually finding the dead prey hundreds of meters away and swallowing it!
And now, Xiang Yuntian was that unlucky prey, and the god-blessed warrior behind him was the venomous snake in the act of hunting!
Xiang Yuntian ran for several hundred meters more, but the god-blessed warrior behind him seemed tireless, following closely.
Suddenly, a whistling sound came from mid-air, and a white wax wood staff suddenly swept horizontally.
This sudden attack came from behind the trees. The god-blessed warrior, who was fully focused on tracking his prey, was caught completely off guard and was directly hit in the stomach by the staff.
The immense force contained within the staff sent the god-blessed warrior flying backward. He flew three to four meters away, and the samurai sword in his hand also flew out, its whereabouts unknown.
At this moment, a tall monk, holding a long white wax wood staff, appeared from behind the tree.
This person was none other than Ling Tian's second master, Monk Jie Nu.
This great monk had not expected Xiang Yuntian to be chased so miserably. After all, he was the king of assassins, with all his skills and strength. Moreover, they were in the Maze Array of Dragon's Coil Mountain, where ambushes were advantageous. How could he have known that Xiang Yuntian would be so disheveled at this moment!
Monk Jie Nu naturally would not stand by and watch his brother suffer. So, he hid behind the tree, launched a surprise attack, and swung his long staff fiercely. With a horizontal sweep, he directly sent the god-blessed warrior flying. In his opinion, being hit in the abdomen with such a blow meant certain death, with his intestines broken and his liver and spleen ruptured.
At this time, Xiang Yuntian ran towards Monk Jie Nu: "Thank you for your rescue, second brother. I've been defeated today."
"Amitabha, we are family, so there's no need for formalities. We are brothers, how could I stand by and do nothing.
Fourth brother, what exactly is going on? Are you… injured?"
"Yes, I was scratched by that guy's hand, and the wound broke open. I feel like there might be poison in the wound…"
"Alas, this is troublesome."
"Second brother, please help me hold off the pursuers. I need to return to Tongfeng to report and deal with my wound.
These people are not simple. The person who attacked me earlier was very strange. My dagger couldn't even scratch the surface of his skin.
Moreover, this person possesses immense strength and speed. Most importantly, he doesn't seem to be affected by elder brother's Maze Array at all…
Be very careful when you fight them. Do not underestimate them, and do not let them get close and injure you with sharp weapons. I can feel that these guys' poison is also unusual…"
"Alright, stop chattering. I understand. Don't speak, quickly circulate your energy to expel the poison…"
"Second brother, you don't need to…"
Before Xiang Yuntian could finish speaking, Monk Jie Nu unceremoniously grabbed Xiang Yuntian's injured arm and took a tourniquet from his懷. He tied it around the base of his arm to prevent the snake venom from spreading further.
Immediately after, Monk Jie Nu suddenly lifted Xiang Yuntian and turned to run towards the direction of the Taoist temple, even discarding the long staff in his hand. At this moment, Monk Jie Nu surprisingly discovered that the guy who had taken his blow was actually staggering to his feet again, not dead!
