Amidst the ruins of the Public Restroom,

Luo Di didn't care about the accidental fall; at that speed, it was difficult to control, so falling was perfectly normal.

He just looked at his broken wrist.

He just used this superhuman speed to break through Li Beite's defenses in an instant.

While injuring his opponent, the interaction force also caused Luo Di's wrist to break, breaking his balance and causing him to fall.

While quickly repairing his wrist, Luo Di also used his torture chamber abilities to directly reinforce the wrist bones with metal, driving several steel nails directly into them.

The same structure was immediately added to the ankle, along with tendrils to improve lubrication.

Not only do we need to ensure we can keep cutting down enemies,

Mastering this speed is even more important.

"Wu Wen, your body is that strong?"

"I'm just fast, but my destructive power and resistance to death are no match for yours... Don't fall again next time! You injured Li Beite's perfect stance right from the start, so he'll definitely be more vigilant and aggressive."

Sudden,

A snap of fingers rang out... crisp and clear.

With just that one simple sound, Luo Di instantly broke out in a cold sweat and paused his communication with Wu Wen.

With a push of his calves, he instantly stretched more than ten meters to the side.

An explosion occurred at the site of the ruins of the Public Restroom, scattering filth mixed with gravel and dust in all directions.

Li Beite remained suspended by the lake, never expecting that he could launch an attack from hundreds of meters away, creating spatial disturbances through snapping his fingers and transmitting those disturbances in a specific direction.

"Here we go, Wu Wen! Help me control the muscle contractions..."

"Good."

Luo Di has already taken another starting position.

Arm swing and sprint... Vroom!

The grass on the ground was instantly torn apart by this speed.

To improve his body's symmetry and balance, Luo Di no longer held the knife, but instead put the handle in his mouth and hung Jason's Bat on his back.

Both arms are solely for running.

The distance of several hundred meters was quickly closed, like a red lightning bolt.

However,

Li Beite was no longer surprised; he simply adopted a strange posture.

With his left hand extended straight forward, he made a "No Trespassing" gesture.

With his right hand, he raised one index finger and placed it against his chest.

When he sensed that Luo Di was getting close,

The finger pressed against the chest suddenly shot out... Buzz! A strong disturbance sound came, and the space around the fingertip could be seen to be strongly disturbed and distorted with the naked eye.

The next second,

The sound came from the woods hundreds of meters away. Trees in the same straight line were all pierced and fell one after another. Even the wall at the edge of the park was left with a finger mark that was almost pierced through.

However, Luo Di, who should have been pierced through as well, was merely a phantom.

"Wow! Luo Di, your physique is amazing! You can change direction so many times at such a speed!"

Li Beite was not surprised; instead, she immediately offered her praise.

At the same time,

A hellish aura swept in from the side.

The great demon under the evil sun had already arrived, gripping the hilt of the knife he held in his mouth, and slashed at Li Beite's unsuspecting head.

Bang!

A large amount of water splashed out on the lake surface.

An invisible and intangible thing stood between the two.

Even blades slashing at maximum speed were blocked.

The ash exhaled by Luo Di would also adhere to it, like an invisible barrier.

A slight cut appeared on the side of the palm of Li Beite's hand that made the "No Trespassing" sign.

"What!?"

Luo Di was completely unprepared for this move from his opponent. It seemed that as long as Li Beite made this gesture with one of his hands, no harm could be inflicted on him.

Because of the sudden stop at ultra-high speed.

Luo Di himself was also affected by the impact. Although he quickly recovered and prepared to push off with his calves to create distance, he was still a step too slow...

Buzz!

Li Beite's That Finger was already aimed at Luo Di's chest, at his spine.

A spiral-shaped finger hole pierced through his body in an instant.

Luo Di himself was also thrown backward by the impact.

Stamp!

Li Beite didn't stop there, but instead gave another three-finger gesture.

One pituitary gland,

A heart attack,

One last shot, focusing on the cervical spine.

All three shots hit their mark!

Luo Di's already high-flying body flew even further, directly out of the park and crashing into a Clothing Store across the street.

"Damn it! I forgot to hold back! I can only blame Luo Di for posing too great a threat; I completely forgot the rules of the game! I don't know if you're dead or not, but your spine and pituitary gland should be shattered."

Good heavens, I've finally met such an interesting and powerful human. Interacting with him will definitely allow me to learn more about humanity and make my growth faster and more stable. Why can't I control myself?

Don't die, Luo Di brothers!

"By the way, his running posture just now was quite interesting. Is that how all humans run? I'll try it."

Li Beite planned to check on Luo Di's condition and tried to imitate the same running posture, pressing his upper body forward at a 90° angle. Unexpectedly, he actually ran very fast.

Not only that,

Li Beite was moving faster and faster in this process, and it seemed that his calf muscles were growing dense, tiny legs, as if he was evolving.

For a moment, he became so engrossed in running that he knocked down trees along the way and even broke through the park wall.

I went straight to the Clothing Store across the street.

The glass of the display case was shattered all over the floor, and the smell of blood wafted out.

Li Beite stopped running and went into the Clothing Store to check on the situation.

As expected, Luo Di lay motionless on the ground, bleeding from the several pierced parts of his body. His most important structures were damaged, rendering his repair and regeneration processes ineffective, and he was about to die.

"Why..."

Just as Li Beite sighed and prepared to touch the other's dying body,

A figure moving at incredible speed suddenly descended from the upper level.

The ashes formed the character for "slash".

Whoosh!

A pure white arm was tossed high into the air, only to be completely sealed by an Iron Maiden container.

Luo Di's true form fell from the top floor, concealing his presence for a perfect sneak attack.

They successfully severed one of Li Beite's arms, the severed arm riddled with torture hooks and covered in lava, preventing regeneration.

The "corpse" lying on the ground in front of them was just a decoy created by Wu Wen, using a plastic mannequin from the Clothing Store and some of Luo Di's flesh and blood.

Luo Di seized the opportunity and pressed his advantage.

Who knew!

Click! Li Beite suddenly turned his head, and the hollow face suddenly turned to stare at him.

With his other hand, he didn't attack Luo Di, but instead inserted his palm into his own head, into the round hole-like void.

Since there was no acceleration process, Luo Di could only use the most basic slash to attack the other arm.

The Chainsaw Blade landed on the arm and cut at high speed, but the speed was relatively slow.

[Danger]

Luo Di's tongue twitched slightly.

He quickly put his other hand in front of him.

Boom!

The next second, Luo Di crashed out of the Clothing Store, smashed open a fire hydrant on the roadside, and rolled more than ten times before barely managing to steady himself.

A mouthful of hot blood spurted from his mouth.

His arm, which he used to block, was gone, and there was a handprint that had been completely pierced through his abdomen.

Li Beite slowly walked out of the Clothing Store.

His arm, which had been severed in a sneak attack, did not regenerate, but something appeared in his other hand.

A glove,

A seemingly ordinary leather glove was on his face, the very thing he had taken from his face.

"Did the woman inside you shift the position of your spine and pituitary gland at a crucial moment, thus avoiding a fatal injury? I was too careless, I'm sorry!"

Next, I will be determined to kill.

This is a reward I won from Mr. Question Mark. Be careful... this thing is dangerous.

"Bring it on."

"Super-Fast Regeneration"

When Luo Di tried to regenerate his shattered left arm, he discovered that it was impossible to regenerate, as was the palm print on his waist and abdomen.

It felt like being deprived.

It's related to those gloves.

However, he had no intention of backing down, since everyone was missing a hand anyway.

Just then,

Luo Di's severed arm grew something else.

The Girl's arm, which originally grew on her back, was moved here, and she also wielded a Flesh Sword. Naturally, it was beyond Luo Di's control, making it, in a sense, a true alliance between the two.

"Luo Di, go!"

"Okay... class monitor."

For some reason, Luo Di called out such a title. The Girl inside him was stunned for a moment, and gripped the sword hilt in her hand even tighter.

Sprint!

By reinforcing the ankle,

Luo Di changed position multiple times during his sprint, and each time he changed position, an exaggerated crater was left on the ground.

Taking advantage of their speed, they attacked Li Beite from all blind spots.

The latter also gave it his all, switching between offense and defense incredibly quickly with just one hand.

Moreover, Li Beite is also imitating Luo Di's running behavior, and is almost catching up in terms of speed.

Ding~ Ding~ Ding!

The sounds of swords clashing against hands echoed through the city at an extremely high frequency.

Wherever they went,

Shops, streetlights, and the ground were all torn, crushed, and shredded.

Luo Di's mask was crushed, revealing a face covered in scorch marks and bleeding, with the Hell Horns that grew from his forehead broken off.

Ahhh!

Roar with all your might, giving it your all!

Suddenly, a palm strike came, and Luo Di's right arm, along with part of his body, was destroyed.

Gazing at the hilt of the sword tossed into the air, Luo Di's eyes were filled with unwavering resolve.

Use your calf muscles!

Jump!

Open your mouth!

They locked onto each other tightly in mid-air!

Taking advantage of the momentum of leaping into the air, it slashes down vertically!

Buzz!

The Chainsaw Blade was flung dozens of meters away and embedded in the building's surface.

Luo Di knelt on the ground, his arms missing and his entire jaw torn apart.

On the other hand, Li Beite was kneeling on one knee.

His entire body was covered in wounds from sword blades and chainsaws, especially the newest one, which was almost a slash across his head and nearly reached his core.

The ethereal face stared at Luo Di before him.

He slowly raised his right arm, which was barely connected by bones, and brought his palm close, as if he wanted to obliterate it!

Snap!

The palm struck Luo Di's back, but caused no injury.

Li Beite's face had switched back to blonde hair, revealing a genuine smile.

"Luo Di... you're so strong!"
