The three Knight were also affected by the blast, but their injuries were not serious; they were just a little dizzy and lightheaded.
Seeing that their Great Knight had been tricked, the three of them dared not delay and immediately stood up and rushed forward.
They were only about a hundred meters away from the Great Knight. Before the boy could even get to position to finish him off, the two Knight had already charged over, one after the other.
"Die!" At this moment, Wu Youren truly had no intention of holding back.
With a powerful and heavy slash, a Knight was cut in two, sword and all.
With a twist of his wrist and a thrust of his waist, the blade spun back, taking the man's head.
The other Knight was horrified at the sight, but he was already in a hurry and had no choice but to bring his club down on the head.
The weapon in his hand was not long, somewhat resembling a spiked club, with a small, spiked ball at the top, and the shaft was made of high-quality steel.
This weapon is less effective at killing monsters, but it has a slight advantage in close combat with martial artists.
Wu Youren knew at a glance that his longsword was no match for the opponent's spiked club.
So he flashed through the air, and instantly the blade trembled slightly. With a gentle flick of the tip, he aimed directly at his opponent's wrist.
This barbarian Knight is burly and skilled in close combat, leaning towards a tank-like approach, but his movements are anything but clumsy.
His opponent suddenly changed tactics, switching from a wide-ranging, aggressive style to a more agile one, which surprised him somewhat.
However, he shifted his body and managed to dodge the attack.
Seeing that the other party was still charging towards the Great Knight without stopping, he couldn't stand it any longer and swung his club horizontally.
This strike was powerful and heavy, creating a whistling sound.
His role in battle was mostly to fight steadily and defend against the opponent's attacks.
If he lets the other side break through this time, it will not only be a dereliction of duty, but it will also expose his own family members to danger.
He didn't know the saying "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao," but every experienced soldier understood the principle of "attacking the enemy and then coming to their rescue."
However, as he swept his staff out, his opponent shifted to the side again, and slashed at his neck with a backhand.
This move defies all laws of physics; it's bizarre, insidious, and vicious.
This person seemed a little surprised and quickly turned their head to the side.
He could sense that it was a bit too late, and at the same time he stretched out his right elbow to block.
It's not that he doesn't want his right arm anymore, but that he wears an arm guard.
The opponent was able to cut through his companion's longsword, but that was when he was going all out. Now, his sword is moving lightly and nimbly, so the force is naturally much less.
Unfortunately, he ultimately underestimated the boy's strength.
The lightness and agility of the blade were merely an illusion; the true killing power of Wu Youren's longsword lay in the inner energy contained within its blade.
Seeing that his opponent had chosen to block, he changed tactics and increased his internal energy output.
In that split second, the increase in internal energy is limited, but it's enough.
The longsword sliced through the arm guard, severed the right arm, and with undiminished force, took away a fifth of the opponent's head.
The tank Knight was terrified and shouted, "Watch out, it's the Great Knight!"
He judged the opponent's strength based on their aura and weapon.
The other person was masked, but judging from the clarity in their eyes, they were very young, and they were wielding a Quasi-Knight- grade longsword.
Who the hell would have thought that someone so young and armed with such weapons could possess the strength of Great Knight?
This is a total rip-off!

This person was well aware that the other party might not truly be Great Knight, but there was no doubt that they possessed strength comparable to Great Knight.
Therefore, his warning was not wrong; the opponent's strength was far greater than that of the Knight!
He was seriously injured and, in his haste, was unable to send out any more information.
With a flick of his wrist, Wu Youren's blade swept back, severing the opponent's neck. He then darted forward like a cat.
A Knight ahead was examining the Great Knight's injuries, and upon seeing this scene, he was terrified.
The crucial point is that before his comrade died, he shouted out – "The opponent is Great Knight!"
He had roughly determined the extent of his master's injuries. Even if he managed to escape, he would be practically crippled for the rest of his life.
However, he had been by the adult's side for a long time, and the other party had accumulated considerable authority, so even if he wanted to escape in a hurry, he hesitated.
In that instant of hesitation, a powerful force surged from behind, shoving him off balance and sending him hurtling towards the other side.
"Sir, you!"
The Great Knight has not yet fully regained consciousness.
However, this did not prevent him from sensing the danger, and he also heard his subordinate's shouts before he died.
He shoved the person next to him towards the other, then used his hands and feet to try and escape quickly.
The Knight, pushed forward, did not give up struggling; stumbling and falling, he even drew his greatsword.
However, the Great Knight used all his strength to push it.
Knowing he was severely injured, how could he possibly hold back when he had to use someone as a shield?
He wasn't even sure how much of his usual strength his full-force push would be equivalent to.
It certainly didn't have much force; normally, a push like that would have made this Knight cough up blood.
This time, he didn't vomit blood, but felt a little short of breath, and gripped the greatsword firmly in his hand.
However, when the sword was barely managed to strike, both its force and angle were distorted!
The Knight mustered his last bit of courage and tried desperately to regain his balance, but it was too late!
He watched helplessly as his opponent severed his waist, followed by a flash of gleaming blade, and then he completely lost consciousness.
His last thought was one of endless regret: how much better it would have been to just keep going, instead of scavenging for supplies!
Wu Youren killed the third Knight, and seeing the Great Knight using both hands and feet to climb and fly, he couldn't help but shake his head.
The opponent's one leg couldn't exert any force, but it was still trying to push off the ground.
With both hands, he was incredibly powerful, slapping the ground alternately as he leaped forward at an astonishing speed. In one of his hands, he even held a waist knife!
The character in the novel who practiced the Toad Style Kung Fu was probably like this, right?
The Great Knight's vitality is truly remarkable!
Wu Youren flashed forward, rushing to his opponent's side and swiftly slashing twice with incredible agility.
He didn't sever the other man's hands, but... he severed the tendons in his hands.
Then he straightened up and charged towards the other barbarians.
These barbarians witnessed the entire battle and had already begun to scatter and flee.
Although there were only a dozen or so, they somehow managed to escape in a way that felt like they were "covering the whole mountain".
Wu Youren first locked onto the last Knight, took two steps, shook his head slightly, took out a small cube, and pressed it gently.
An explosion rang out, and the person was sent flying into the sky.
There were so many ways to escape, but this Knight, of all people, insisted on rushing into a small trap.
After landing, the Knight rolled twice. Because the explosion was relatively small, he was not completely dead, and only suffered minor injuries.
But that was the end of it; the next moment, a flash of light appeared, and a head fell to the ground.
The remaining barbarian Knight Apprentice gave Wu Youren a headache. "They're really good at running away!"
Of the twelve Knight Apprentice, one perished in the first explosion, while the other eleven chose eleven directions.
Escape together? Forget about it!
Don't let their lack of common sense fool you; these guys are perfectly aware that teaming up is a path to certain death.
Although it's difficult to survive alone in this snow-covered wilderness, it's only a matter of "possibly not surviving."
Compared to "dying together immediately," even a fool would know that the former should be chosen.
Wu Youren moved swiftly, chasing and killing seven people in succession.
The remaining four... have already escaped far away!
He thought about it for a moment, then sighed, shook his head, and chose to give up.
There's still a Great Knight struggling for his life over there. If we chase after him, who knows what unexpected things might happen?
He went to the Great Knight and, without saying a word, threw a net over.
He chased after the seven Knight Apprentice for almost half an hour; it's unclear whether this desperate fellow resorted to any underhanded tactics.
Only after seeing that the large net had completely covered the enemy did he begin to clean up the battlefield.
He did have some swords and knives, but more importantly, he also acquired four decent-quality daggers, which he had tucked into his leg wraps.
After getting used to the dagger, he moved to a distance of about ten meters from the Great Knight and took out a bag from his pocket.
Open the bag and shake it; a tied-up field mouse rolls out.
The Scops Owl appeared, landing silently a short distance away. "What are you trying to do?"
"Beware of the Blood Curse," the boy whispered.
" Blood Curse? Wait a minute," the Scops Owl flapped its wings and flew away, returning shortly afterward with a leather pouch in its hand.
Wu Youren recognized the skin at a glance and asked, somewhat puzzled, " Flawless Crystal, what is this?"
"I've studied the Blood Curse," Chen Quanxu's dedication to research was truly remarkable, "And I have a rough guess."
He believes that Blood Curse are also related to resentment, and there is a certain possibility that the two may clash.
However, not every barbarian is qualified to bear the Blood Curse, and he had few samples to experiment with.
This time, he wanted to test whether the Flawless Crystal could absorb the Blood Curse.
If he can truly absorb it, and then use the crystal to absorb his own resentment in the future, the two can offset each other—wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?
"Your thought process is..." Wu Youren was speechless, but he had already given the crystal to the other party, so he had no grounds to object.
He only cautiously pointed out, "If it can't be offset, the Flawless Crystal will be contaminated."
That's Flawless Crystal, you understand?
"No!" the Scops Owl replied calmly. "The resentment within me is far greater than you can imagine."
"If one could choose not to die, who would want to die? Even the most precious treasures are ultimately meant to be used."
"That's crazy," Wu Youren muttered softly. "I don't know if I should hope this time it will succeed."
"You can put the mouse behind the crystal," the Scops Owl replied very calmly, "And I can help you block it too."
"We can't stop the speed of the Blood Curse," the boy shook his head slightly.
"Wow," the Scops Owl, somewhat surprised, "You've actually encountered this before?"
He'd only ever heard of the Barbarian Tribe Blood Curse, but this guy had actually encountered it... Your experiences are truly extraordinary.
He couldn't help but ask, "If I'm not mistaken, this Great Knight was the first one you killed, wasn't he?"
