Chapter 346 A Desperate Battle

Chapter 346 A Desperate Battle

"Don't hold back any longer, finish this quickly!" the bald man said, then turned to the woman.

"I see!" The woman nodded, and her aura surged once more.

"Come on, let's see how I can defeat both of you!" White Tiger squinted his eyes.

While speaking, he shot towards the bald man at lightning speed. His movements were so swift that a blade aura surged towards the man's chest.

"Don't underestimate me!" The bald man spoke coldly and exerted full force to counter White Tiger's strike.

Boom!

The two forces collided with a tremendous impact. White Tiger, spitting out a mouthful of blood, was sent flying as if struck by a ferocious beast, heading in the direction of tha woman.

White Tiger adjusted his body mid-air and landed swiftly. Without hesitation, he rushed towards the woman. Clearly, his attack on the man had been a feint, intended to gain momentum.

"Hmm!?" The woman had never expected White Tiger to play tricks at this moment, and her pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks.

"Damn it!" The black-robed man, who had been watching from the sidelines, roared with anger upon witnessing this. He then raised his hand and sent a furious burst of energy toward White Tiger.

However, White Tiger paid no attention to the incoming attack. Instead, his eyes lit up with fervor, and he swung his battle blade in an arc towards the woman.

"No!" The woman immediately sensed a terrifying aura of impending doom surrounding her. In her desperate state, she quickly raised her blade to block the strike.

The powerful strike from White Tiger was too much for her to withstand, especially when she was in a passive defensive position. The blade aura cleaved her large blade into two pieces, and then the force continued unabated, penetrating her chest. Her clothes burst open, revealing a crimson gash across her snowy-white chest. Blood gushed out in a jet, and she collapsed to the ground, convulsing a few times before falling still.

Simultaneously, White Tiger was sent flying by a palm strike from the black-robed elder. He soared through the air, landing heavily on the ground some thirty to forty meters away, spewing blood.

"White Tiger" Rakshasa shouted as she watched in shock. In this moment of distraction, the elder slashed his blade towards her, opening another deep wound on her arm. Rakshasa paid no heed to the pain, her eyes filled with determination.

"Your own life is at stake, and you're still thinking about men. You're quite a devoted and affectionate woman!" The old man blocked her way.

"You bastard, get out of my way!" Rakshasa's eyes turned red, and she shouted in anger.

Then, her eyes narrowed as she unleashed a sword technique she had learned in the cave. She hadn't had much time to practice it because she had been busy, and it was quite advanced, so she had only scratched the surface of its mastery. If it weren't for her concern for White Tiger's safety, she probably wouldn't have used it.

Her figure flashed, her wrist continued to rotate, and the energy of her sword surged out one after another.

"What kind of sword technique is this? Interesting!" The old man's eyes squinted slightly. "But if I guess correctly, you don't seem to grasp the essence of this technique."

As he spoke, he wielded his large sword to meet her, and the two of them engaged in battle once more.

"Hmm?" After a while, Rakshasa couldn't help but exclaim softly, and her eyes lit up. A force several times stronger than before exploded from her, causing the old man across from her to involuntarily take several large steps backward.

"How is this possible? You've broken through?" After steadying himself, the old man's face was full of shock.

"You guessed right!" Rakshasa's face showed a hint of joy.

Just as the old man had said, she had indeed broken through. While she was using that sword technique, she had faintly felt a sealed Chi energy burst within her body, assisting her in breaking through to the peak of Warlord.

She also recalled what Billy had told her. The energy left by that fallen great martial artist inside her body was difficult to fully absorb at the time, so she could only reach the level of Warlord Initial in the cave. But in the following period, she might break through another one or two levels. Now it seemed that Billy had been correct.

"Give me a few more sword strikes!" Rakshasa spoke again. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

What surprised her wasn't just the improvement in her cultivation but also the enhanced comprehension of this sword technique that she had vaguely felt while using it.

"What's wrong with that?" The old man replied in a deep voice and met her with his blade.

At the same time, not far away, the man in the black robe arrived next to the companion he was protecting. Seeing the woman's miserable condition, an icy chill shrouded his body. Through clenched teeth, he said, "Damn it!"

He never expected that, due to his momentary carelessness, White Tiger had managed to kill one of their comrades. His eyes turned crimson with anger. The bald man standing nearby was similarly filled with rage. His killing intent was palpable.

"I will definitely tear you apart! After torturing you mercilessly!" the man in the black robe said as he approached White Tiger.

"That remains to be seen!" Just as White Tiger climbed up from the ground, a faint smile curled on his lips.

The man in the black robe furrowed his brow. He sensed an aura of a Warlord at the peak from White Tiger.

"Surprised, aren't you?" asked White Tiger.

Even before Billy's visit to Place of Darkness some time ago, he had helped boost White Tiger's cultivation to the peak of the later stage of Warlord. Breaking through again was only a hair's breadth away. Plus, the high-intensity battles he'd been engaged in during this time had already given him a glimpse of the Warlord complete stage. This was precisely why he had intentionally taken that palm strike earlier, even though he could have dodged it. He needed an opportunity to push himself to his limits. And the result didn't disappoint him.

"You ignorant child!" The man in the black robe furrowed his brow again. "Do you think that breaking through to Warlord pinnacle guarantees you a chance at survival?"

"The gap between Warlord and War Grandmaster is like a chasm. To kill you, I only need one move."

"Is that so?" White Tiger smirked. "You're so confident. Then, give it a try!"

"Ignorant fool!" The man in the black robe responded. "I'll make you experience torture beyond compare before you die!"

After saying that, he turned to the bald man. "Let's go together. Cripple him and leave him with a breath!"

The bald man nodded.

In the next instant, the man in the black robe unleashed his attack, and his aura reached its peak. Fierce punches and strikes shot out. The bald man didn't hesitate either. He activated his most potent martial power and followed suit.

Although White Tiger had reached the pinnacle, the man in the black robe was still a War Grandmaster. Naturally, White Tiger wouldn't confront him head-on and swiftly dodged their attacks.

Boom!

At that moment, a muffled sound came from the battle circle of Rakshasa and her opponent.
