That Poison Needle of his had once killed a Martial Master!
Even a Martial Master would have been unable to react in such an abrupt situation!
Yet a mere Senior Quasi-Warrior had actually blocked it in one move?
After a brief moment of shock and astonishment, Madman Drake's expression gradually changed. A cruel curve rose at the corner of his mouth, and bloodthirsty killing intent seeped from his eyes...
"A Senior Quasi-Warrior actually managed to block my Poison Needle... Now this is a worthwhile kill!"
Madman Drake grinned, and the cruelty in that smile was self-evident.
Without the slightest hesitation, Madman Drake flipped his hand and took out two more Poison Needles. Using the Bone Flute, he spat them toward Su Xiaobai's position like lightning!
"Again?"
Su Xiaobai had already turned around. His eyes were filled with icy intent!
He could clearly sense the killing intent contained in the Poison Needle that had just landed against his neck... His opponent was here to take his life!
He turned his head, and the two Poison Needles arrived one after another.
Su Xiaobai raised two fingers. Nearly solid golden strands wound around them. With a casual flick in midair, he sent the two incoming Poison Needles flying. They fell to the ground with a series of metallic clangs.
"There!"
At the same time, Su Xiaobai followed the direction from which the Poison Needles had flown. His gaze sharpened, and he instantly caught sight of Madman Drake's figure in the shadows high above!
Soaring Transformation!
Su Xiaobai's figure abruptly vanished from where he stood. His entire body transformed into a streaking shadow that thundered toward Madman Drake in the darkness!
"So fast!"
"This kid... his strength has increased again!"
Zhang Hengde, who had been preparing to strike, immediately halted.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of horror appeared on his face!
To protect Su Xiaobai, he had stayed close behind him these past few days without the slightest slackening.
Yet after observing him for so long, he had not seen Su Xiaobai display even the slightest sign or intention of cultivating... Every day, aside from eating, drinking, having fun, and sleeping, he had been on the way to eat, drink, have fun, and sleep!
And yet, under such circumstances, Su Xiaobai's strength had increased!
It was not a slight increase, but a leap-like enhancement!
Whether it was his speed, explosive power, or the Microscopic Level Technique he had just used to block the two Poison Needles... all of it was far stronger than when he had been at the Zhang Family!
This left Zhang Hengde utterly shaken!
How exactly did this guy become stronger?
There had been no warning at all!
With that thought, Zhang Hengde chose not to intervene. He wanted to see exactly how far Su Xiaobai's true strength had reached...
"Wait, this aura... has he advanced to Warrior level?!"
Zhang Hengde's breathing caught once more.
Su Xiaobai had erupted with fluctuations of spiritual energy. The aura of a Warrior was completely exposed, with no concealment whatsoever. Feeling this genuine Warrior aura, Zhang Hengde immediately sucked in a cold breath!
Just a few days ago, in the Zhang Family, Su Xiaobai had still been merely a Senior Quasi-Warrior... Yet in just over a week, he had actually reached Warrior level?!
What kind of international joke was this?!
Even the most incredible Cultivation Aptitude could not produce such a terrifying breakthrough speed!
Zhang Hengde felt as though his entire worldview had been ruthlessly refreshed!
"Warrior?!"
Zhang Hengde was not the only one who sensed it.
Madman Drake likewise felt the Warrior aura radiating from Su Xiaobai!
"Good... very good!"
"I'm liking this mission more and more!"
Madman Drake's smile turned crazed.
He flipped his palm and drew a specially made Alloy Grade Poisoned Dagger.
Cold light shimmered. Madman Drake's figure suddenly vanished—
Instant Kill!
Clang!
In the next instant, Madman Drake appeared beside Su Xiaobai. The Poisoned Dagger in his hand became a streak of razor-sharp light and slashed viciously across Su Xiaobai's neck!
A layer of gold surfaced on Su Xiaobai's neck, making his skin incomparably hard... The Alloy Grade dagger left only a shallow, neither-deep-nor-shallow cut across his neck!
"Microscopic Level Body Tempering Technique!"
"And judging from his current Beginner Warrior realm, this Body Tempering Technique must have reached at least the intermediate level for him to withstand that strike of mine!"
Madman Drake's pupils constricted, and the madness in his eyes grew even more intense.
A genius!
An unprecedented genius, one he had never seen or even imagined!
To think such a genius had actually crossed his path—and was about to die by his hand... Just imagining it was enough to make him wildly excited!
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Madman Drake had completely lost himself.
He began using his Advanced Instant Kill Technique to unleash a tempestuous assault on Su Xiaobai!
His arms, chest, thighs, back, and forehead...
Every part of Su Xiaobai's body became a target for his attacks!
"Madman Drake... The Yuan Family has indeed received the news and issued an assassination order!"
Zhang Hengde had recognized him by now.
But he continued to endure, not rushing in immediately.
Because Zhang Hengde knew that Su Xiaobai had not reached his limit yet. He had not brought out his true trump card!
He drew his broadsword and gripped it tightly. The moment Su Xiaobai showed any sign of danger, he would instantly rush out and kill Madman Drake!
In the dim alley, a Beginner Warrior and an Advanced Warrior fought each other in a frenzied battle!
Clanging sounds rang out without end.
Yet from the back-and-forth battle between the two, it was clear that they were actually evenly matched!
"Interesting! Interesting! This is so interesting!"
"Your physical qualities have reached my level, or even surpassed it!"
"Only your reaction speed is slightly inferior to mine!"
"A Beginner Warrior can actually achieve such results!"
"Hahahaha... this is too interesting! I must kill you! You must die by my hand!"
Madman Drake looked utterly deranged.
After the battle just now, Madman Drake had already figured out that Su Xiaobai had mastered two Microscopic Level Techniques—one that strengthened his body and another that enhanced his agility and reactions... This made Madman Drake even more excited!
