One Strike, Certain Kill!

The pleasure of killing a genius warrior like this would be absolutely unparalleled!

Facing Madman Drake's storm-like assault, Su Xiaobai showed no sign of retreat.

"An Advanced Warrior's mobility... I really can't keep up yet."

Su Xiaobai's eyes sharpened.

He tried using Soaring Transformation to dodge Madman Drake's attacks while counterattacking... but unfortunately, Soaring Transformation was only at the beginner level, and Madman Drake was an Advanced Warrior two whole ranks above him—he simply couldn't land a hit!

Several times, he seemed close to touching Drake, but each time, he just barely missed!

"The good news is, his attacks don't work on me. With the Adamantine Body's boost, he can't break through my defense!"

"I can still find a chance to kill him!"

Adamantine Body had reached the intermediate level. His strengthened physique, combined with the ultra-tough defense powered by spiritual energy, meant that even a strike from an Advanced Warrior like Madman Drake couldn't leave a single scratch!

Thank goodness for that.

Otherwise, Su Xiaobai wouldn't have lasted this long—he'd have died under Madman Drake's attacks long ago!

"Looks like this kid can't win..."

"I don't know how he became a warrior, but he only just broke through. Facing an elite assassin who's been an Advanced Warrior for years, it's only natural he can't keep up!"

The two fought fiercely in the alley, and Zhang Hengde watched the entire battle unfold.

He could already tell that Su Xiaobai's strength, defense, endurance, and explosive power were all fine... the only gap was in reaction speed compared to Madman Drake.

But he understood.

One was a Beginner Warrior who had just broken through a few days ago.

The other was a long-established Advanced Warrior and a veteran of the assassination world.

If it were any other Beginner Warrior facing a formidable opponent like Madman Drake, they'd have kicked the bucket on the spot... fight back? Resist? What a joke!

"Wait two more minutes!"

"After two minutes, no matter how the fight's going, I'll step in!"

Zhang Hengde made up his mind quietly.

He didn't know where Su Xiaobai's limits lay.

But he didn't dare gamble any longer.

If Su Xiaobai accidentally got killed, he'd be the Zhang Family's sinner, and the family would lose its one chance to rise!

"Too slow! Too slow!"

"At your speed, you'll never touch me!"

"And your fists—can't you put a little more force into them?"

Madman Drake laughed heartily, attacking Su Xiaobai wildly as he laughed!

In this fight, he had already seized absolute dominance!

Even if he couldn't break through Su Xiaobai's Adamantine Body defense for now, a warrior's spiritual energy was limited!

It was like a game—spiritual energy was your mana. Once it ran out, you couldn't use any more skills!

At that point, no matter how tough Su Xiaobai's physical defense was, he couldn't withstand the edge of an Advanced Warrior's Dagger Blade!

"Pretty cocky, aren't you!"

A sharp glint flashed in Su Xiaobai's eyes.

Damn!

What he hated most was this kind of show-off!

Two whole ranks above him and still unable to finish him off, and now he had the nerve to bluster?

Grab a little advantage, and he forgot his own name!

"Fine... I'll use you as the first test subject for my Attribute Technique!"

Su Xiaobai's gaze flickered.

In an instant, he seized another opportunity, turning his fist into a palm and striking out fiercely!

"Switching to an offensive stance?"

"So what?"

"You're destined to never even touch the hem of my clothes!"

Madman Drake paid no attention to Su Xiaobai's sudden strike.

At this moment, as far as he was concerned, he had completely taken the upper hand!

Su Xiaobai was like a beast trapped in a cage—once the cage disappeared, he could easily kill him!

Yet just as Madman Drake was preparing to casually and gracefully dodge this palm strike while simultaneously continuing to slash at Su Xiaobai—

Suddenly—

A wave of heat blasted toward him!

The temperature around them shot up in an instant.

Blazing flames abruptly rose from Su Xiaobai's palm, and in the blink of an eye, his hand transformed into a glowing, searing-hot branding iron pulled straight from a furnace!

"What?!"

Madman Drake, along with Zhang Hengde watching from afar, were both stunned to the point their scalps tingled and every hair on their bodies stood on end!

An Attribute Technique!

And one that had already stepped into the Beginner Stage!

"This... this... this..."

Zhang Hengde's pupils trembled with shock!

Seventeen years old, a Beginner Warrior.

Cultivating two Microscopic Level Techniques.

Holding his own against an Advanced Warrior as a Beginner Warrior.

Any one of these points, taken alone, would be enough to cause a stir!

Yet all of them were combined in a single person.

But now, another had to be added—mastering an Attribute Technique and reaching the Beginner Stage!

Was this a genius?

No, genius was no longer enough to describe him.

This was a prodigy.

A monster!

His comprehension had already reached a level of terror beyond ordinary understanding!

"Damn it!!!"

"The intel never mentioned he'd cultivated an Attribute Technique!!!"

"How is this possible?!"

Madman Drake roared inwardly.

At this moment, his face had lost all its earlier arrogance, swagger, ferocity, and madness...

Only the fear of death remained!

An Attribute Technique was no joke!

Even for an Advanced Warrior like him, mastering an Attribute Technique was an incredibly difficult task!

Even at just the Beginner Level, it was something only Martial Masters could wield!

He tried to dodge at the first instant.

But it was already too late.

"True Fire Hand!"

The scorching, crimson flame palm detached from his body, and in a single instant, it pierced straight through Madman Drake's torso... boring a clean hole right through him!

Boom!

The remaining force slammed directly into the wall, producing a violent explosion, and the wall was blasted into a charred palm-shaped crater!

"I... I... I..."

Madman Drake looked down at his heart, now pierced through, and his flesh reduced to smoking charcoal, his face full of shock and disbelief... but even more so, unwillingness!
