Chapter 54: War Escalates

The bald man's hoarse roar due to anger echoed in the forest for a long time, but the only response was the roar of various wild animals.

Zuo Feng was standing on the top of a big tree with a teasing look on his face, and his body was naturally relaxed and comfortable leaning against the trunk. He couldn't help but feel refreshed by the bald man's almost crazy state.

'You, a group of high-level warriors, actually attacked a small mountain village so cruelly. Now it's your turn to suffer a catastrophe and start to rage. You deserve it. If I have a way to make you die more painfully, I won't be stingy to use it.' Zuo Feng stared at the battlefield in the distance with cold eyes, full of hatred and disdain.

The excitement of the gray-clothed man is still slowly increasing, but the beast does not have the rationality and self-control of humans. Probably less than half a quarter of an hour after the awakening powder was absorbed, it has entered a state similar to madness. The beast is strong and cruel, and these characteristics are infinitely magnified by the effect of the awakening powder.

The battle between the two sides would heat up almost every few breaths. Although the gray-clothed people also inhaled the wake-up powder like the beasts, only those who were seriously injured before were a little too excited. Because the broken wounds absorbed the wake-up powder and it flowed directly through the blood throughout the body, the effect was faster and more obvious.

The battle between the two sides was like two huge gears biting together. The beasts began to accelerate, and the other side, even if they were reluctant, had no choice but to follow and let the battle continue to escalate.

Because of the bald man's shrill roar, most of the gray-clothed people here knew that they were being ambushed, but the reality was that with the crazy attacks of the beasts, they had to mobilize all their spiritual energy to fight hard.

Even every breath, several beasts were killed on the spot, and the gray-clothed people on the other side were also not doing well, because even if the crazy beasts were seriously injured, some of them even had their stomachs cut open by swords, and they continued to rush into the crowd with their intestines flowing out of their bodies.

This violent battle lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and the other two waves of beasts except the wolf pack were almost completely wiped out. The wolf pack also suffered serious losses. At present, there are only about 40 left from the more than 100 that came at the beginning.

Three people died on the gray-clothed side within this quarter of an hour, and the other six were injured to varying degrees. In such a tragic battle, the weaker ones in this gray-clothed team were constantly consuming their lives, and the survivors were all people with good cultivation and rich combat experience. But even so, they still couldn't get rid of the encirclement of the beasts.

"Xiao Liuzi, that person must be taken back, and we must be careful of those who plot against us." The bald man in the fierce battle shouted loudly.

"Understood, Captain."

After the bald man gave a loud order, he took out another long knife from his waist. He originally held a long knife in his hand, but now he had two knives. When the companions around saw the bald man holding two swords, their eyes lit up slightly, but some people sighed after their eyes lit up slightly. All of these sighers were people who knew the bald man very well.

This bald man had been a disciple of a hidden master since he was a child, and his martial arts method was different from others. Most people started with fists and feet, but he started practicing swords from the beginning.

Originally, his progress was very fast, and his master was very satisfied with him. But when he was sixteen years old, his progress suddenly became slow. The master didn't care about his change, but just told him that this was the first bottleneck in his martial arts and the first bottleneck in his life. Only after overcoming it would the road of cultivation become wider and wider.

But the bald man had been practicing very steadily all the way. This bottleneck could be said to be a big blow to him. He worked hard for a long time but didn't feel any signs of a breakthrough.

Suddenly one day he had a sudden idea to start practicing double swords, and slightly changed the method of single sword to use on double swords, and then he found that he had broken through the bottleneck. When he was still complacent about his intelligence, he was discovered by his master.

The look in his master's eyes at that time made him unforgettable. When he saw him playing with his two swords proudly, his master's eyes were full of anger, helplessness and regret. The master finally said to him, "Sometimes there is only one way in life. Even if it is difficult, you have to go through it alone. You took the wrong path." After that, he expelled him from the sect.

The bald man never understood what he had done wrong. The master said that he had taken the wrong path, so he continued to practice with all his strength. But in the end, he found that he was stuck there forever when he improved to the late stage of quenching tendons and could never break through.

He once went to find his master with a thick face, but when the master saw him again, he seemed to have no surprise at all. He just sighed and shook his head, but turned back without saying a word to him. The bald man knelt in front of the master's door for two days and two nights, but the master still refused to meet him again, so he had no choice but to leave.

Later, the bald man joined the gray-clothed man organization and fought all the way to achieve some success. But after fighting with others continuously, he realized that although his double swords were much more powerful than a single sword, they always had a fatal drawback, which was that he would feel a sense of weakness after fighting with all his strength, and the longer the battle lasted, the more obvious this drawback became.

After continuous practice and thinking, he gradually understood that he had been practicing single sword since he was a child, and his double sword method was derived from the single sword. The two seemed to have the same origin but were essentially different.

At this moment, he realized where he was wrong, that is, he had gone astray in his state of mind. But now he realized that it was impossible to reverse it, so he still used a single sword when fighting with others later, and only used double swords in critical situations, but the use of double swords also indicated that his state of mind had been defeated.

The three warriors with cultivation in the middle stage of tendon tempering had followed the bald captain for the longest time and knew him best, so when he started to use double swords, it was these three who sighed softly.

The bald man's face was hideous at this time, with veins bulging on his forehead, and the double swords in his hands flew up and down. In the blink of an eye, three wolf eaters died under the double swords, and the team's forward speed was slowly accelerating.

"Awoo..."

The giant wolf eater immediately noticed the change here, and let out a huge roar to command the wolf eater group to gather to the east to block. But the wolf eater group was now crazy under the effect of the awakening powder, and they could not hear the leader's orders.

The giant wolf-eater's eyes flashed with cold light. Although it was also hot and excited because of the drugs, it had the blood of a demon beast after all, and it had some intelligence. It could barely suppress the frenzy in its body like humans.

Seeing that his order had no effect, it had to go around the outer edge of the station circle to the east side of the battlefield. The wolf-eater beast suddenly stopped while walking and looked at the bushes where Zuo Feng was hiding. Zuo Feng's body was originally hidden in the big tree, and his breath was completely restrained, but even so, the giant wolf-eater still noticed it.

At the moment when the giant wolf-eater looked at him, Zuo Feng's back felt a little cold, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Zuo Feng was tense and held his breath. He even tried to slow down his heartbeat, and his eyes were slightly narrowed, leaving only a gap. He believed that even the slightest movement on his side might cause the giant wolf in front of him to lock on him immediately.

Time passed little by little, the battle continued, and the team was still moving slowly to the east. The giant wolf looked at Zuo Feng and hesitated for a moment, but reluctantly turned its attention back to the bald man on the battlefield.

The bald man had already begun to show his power. Just when the giant wolf was paying attention to Zuo Feng, six more wolfs died under his double swords. If this continues, there is still hope for this group of people to escape from here.

The bald man was covered in blood, but most of the blood came from the wolf he killed. But just when he had a glimmer of hope, a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

The bald man had already seen this giant wolf, but it had been wandering around the periphery of the battle circle and had never entered the middle of the battlefield. Although the bald man also saw that this giant wolf was the leader of this group of wild beasts, he had no choice but to kill it.

At this time, the giant wolf came to the door by itself, which made the bald man happy. If he killed this giant wolf, there would be hope for his group to survive. He even began to plan how to find the culprit who framed them.

The giant wolf was obviously much calmer than the other wolfs. There was no trace of madness in its eyes, but instead a cold light flashed. The bald man had not lived here for long, so he had no idea what the thick golden stripes on the giant wolf in front of him meant.

He seemed to have remembered some legends, but there was no time for him to think carefully at this time. After a short pause, he swung his two knives at the giant wolf without hesitation.

When the cold steel knife slashed at the giant wolf, the giant wolf's body also began to move. The agile reaction, which was in sharp contrast to its huge body, immediately made the bald man realize that the opponent was difficult to deal with.

The giant wolf sat back violently, and the huge wolf head twisted quickly to the side, easily dodging the two knives that chopped rapidly from the left and right, and then swung the wolf claws as thick as buckets towards the bald man.

The bald man's two slashes were extremely fast. He was confident that at least one of his two slashes would hit the giant wolf, but the opponent easily dodged it with a nimble sit-down and twist.

The bald man swung his sword with all his strength without holding back. At this moment, the sword missed and he felt uncomfortable. The opponent just attacked him at this time, and the huge claws swung at him at the same time, and the speed of his swing was not slower than his sword.

The bald man leaned forward and could not dodge at all. He could only cross the two steel knives in front of his chest. The two steel knives had just been set up when the opponent's huge claws had already attacked.

"Clang"

The claws and the steel knives collided, and there was a huge sound like metal hitting each other.
