The perfect script Dusk Blade had planned ran into an accident in its very first step.
The Space Cutting effect that Rift Gouge used to remove shields had failed!
Dusk Blade's dagger felt as though it had cut into rawhide. The shield at the back of his opponent's neck rippled in layers, tough and dense, leaving Dusk Blade unable to break through it.
"How is that possible... This only happens when the priority gets crushed! My Rift Gouge has a priority of 10!"
Before Dusk Blade could react, a ring of Battle Qi chains tightly bound his body.
The suppression effect of Mountain Phantom made Dusk Blade's vision go black. Then came a heavy kick that nearly split open his leather armor! Dusk Blade was kicked high into the air. Bai Pu's kick nearly dislocated every bone in his body, leaving him unable to launch any countermeasures for a short time.
This was the special effect brought by crushing him in a strength check—not a skill, yet better than one! Bai Pu immediately followed with a thrust of his spear: Three-Part Starfall!
Similar to how Jin Yang had been instantly defeated, Dusk Blade suffered multiple consecutive strikes before being slammed to the ground. He was already at critical health and severely wounded, with his maximum Health Points halved.
Bai Pu followed up by sweeping his spear down.
Bai Pu had thought Dusk Blade would flee this world like Jin Yang, but when the spear came down, Dusk Blade's expression remained calm, with no sign that he intended to leave.
Bai Pu found it strange, but there was no way he would stop.
The blade of the Doomsday Long Spear slashed down at Dusk Blade's throat.
Splat! The spear blade fell, and blood sprayed.
