Upon reaching level 5, Wang Xiao's various ability values increased by 1.9.
Looking at the unused free points, Wang Xiao did not hesitate and used them directly on his strength.
[Increase successful. Current strength value: 22.8.]
As his power increased, the side effects of the previous skill point allocation had not yet completely dissipated, and the side effects of leveling up and allocating skill points again quickly appeared on Wang Xiao.
Under the influence of the triple side effects, Wang Xiao's bare upper body muscles were taut, and hideous lines crawled all over his arms.
An uncontrollable, violent aura caused Wang Xiao, who was smiling and holding a knife, to exhale with an extremely hot breath.
Feeling the power surging within him, Wang Xiao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, slowly suppressing the violent aura with each breath.
But when Wang Xiao opened his eyes again, the last glimmer of clarity in them was rapidly fading away.
Wang Xiao slowly exhaled, and smiled slightly, "Phew~ You chased me all the way and even gave me a big gift. You really made me suffer a lot."
You seem to enjoy mimicking human speech, don't you? Well, here's a saying for you: "It's only polite to reciprocate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiao's aura suddenly changed, and a violent aura burst forth from his body, making him appear like a demon god walking among the world.
The next instant, Wang Xiao appeared directly in front of the Thorn Knight, his longsword, gleaming with silver-white light, slashing down with terrifying power.
"clang!"
The Thorn Knight's thorny warhorse reared up abruptly, its front hooves transforming into two thick, sharp thorny vines that crossed and blocked Wang Xiao's strike.
"Block? Do you really think you can block it?!"
"Smash it!"
Wang Xiao increased the pressure in his hand again, and the vines that were already struggling to hold on began to shatter inch by inch under the sharp longsword.
Just as Wang Xiao's longsword was about to tear through the last line of defense, the Thorn Knight launched a counterattack. A dark spear made of thorn vines and roses quickly materialized in its hand, its tip crimson, and it thrust straight at Wang Xiao's chest.
At the same time, the thorny warhorse stomped its forelegs on the ground, and several thorny vines broke through the soil beneath Wang Xiao's feet, wrapping around his ankles.
Wang Xiao's pupils contracted sharply; he sensed a threat.
Despite the side effects, Wang Xiao did not choose to retreat, but instead faced the Thorn Knight's attack head-on, contrary to his usual behavior.
Wang Xiao exerted sudden force with his arm, forcibly pulling the long knife embedded in the vines. Taking advantage of the momentum, he spun to the side, the blade drawing an arc and severing all the vines attacking from below.
Immediately afterward, he swung his blade backhand, deflecting the thorny spear that was thrusting towards him. Although the huge recoil caused Wang Xiao's arm to tremble involuntarily, he gritted his teeth and forcefully shattered the last layer of defense on the Thorn Knight with a single strike.
The Thorn Knight missed his attack, and his warhorse stumbled into the air, leaping several meters into the air. After changing direction in mid-air, the thorn spear once again materialized in his hand, and he thrust it straight down at Wang Xiao from high above.
Wang Xiao suddenly tilted his head back, and the blood on his back slowly slid down.
Seeing the attack about to strike, Wang Xiao's expression turned ferocious as he said, "You think you can kill me with this one blow? I'll see if you can!!!"
Wang Xiao stepped back with his left foot, quickly lowered the blade of his long sword, and as the tip of the sword tilted downwards, he twisted his waist and hips to the left, shifting his center of gravity to his forward foot, and began to crouch down to gather strength.
Just as the spear was about to fall, Wang Xiao suddenly delivered an upward thrust!
"boom!"
The two collided, instantly creating a terrifying shockwave.
As the dust and smoke slowly dissipated, Wang Xiao retreated several meters, his body bearing numerous small wounds, yet his imposing aura remained undiminished.
Although the Thorn Knight landed steadily ten meters away, a terrifying crack was slashed into his plant armor. Although it was healing rapidly at a visible speed, his movements were noticeably slower.
"Damn your ancestors! I haven't even killed you yet, are you some kind of turtle?!"
Wang Xiao cursed under his breath as he spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and even the hand holding the knife trembled slightly.
He naturally couldn't choose to take the Thorn Knight's attack head-on; all his preparations were merely to conceal his true offensive intentions.
Despite this, the second form of this visitor from the abyss is still incredibly troublesome.
Just then, a slight tremor suddenly came from the long sword in Wang Xiao's hand, and the silver light on the surface of the blade began to become extremely unstable. Then, a large number of cracks slowly spread from the center of the blade.
Wang Xiao's expression changed: "This is bad..."
Ten minutes passed, and with a crisp "crack," the longsword, now devoid of Yue Man's power, shattered completely in Wang Xiao's hands.
Upon seeing this, the Thorn Knight let out a low, malicious neigh, and his thorny warhorse reared up, charging straight at Wang Xiao, its thorny spear aimed directly at Wang Xiao's heart.
"Damn it!"
Unarmed, Wang Xiao retreated hastily, but he couldn't outrun the ever-present spear tip.
Just as the tip of the gun was less than four meters from Wang Xiao's chest, a hoarse roar came from the direction of the hotel.
"Wang Xiao, catch it!!!"
Out of the corner of his eye, Wang Xiao saw a silver light slash through the sky, and two long swords flew towards him, their surfaces covered with a silver light that was far more dazzling than before.
It's Yue Man!
This guy had somehow broken through the hotel's defenses, covered in blood, his right sleeve torn, veins bulging on his arm, and he was kneeling on one knee, supporting his body with one arm.
Despite a trickle of blood escaping his mouth, he still stared intently in Wang Xiao's direction, shouting with his last breath, "Only three minutes!"
Three minutes?
Wang Xiao's expression remained ferocious, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.
Three minutes is enough!
After narrowly dodging the Thorn Knight's attack, Wang Xiao retreated continuously, seizing an opportunity to pull out two long swords stuck in the ground.
Compared to the shattered longsword from before, the silver aura clinging to these two longswords seemed to have exhausted Yue Man's power.
"Thanks, Lao Yue!"
Wang Xiao crossed his two swords in front of his chest, then stopped dodging and turned to face the thorny spear that was already piercing his eyes.
"clang!"
This time, it was no longer a close contest.
The silver light exploded, and the thorny spear shattered inch by inch from its tip!
The Thorn Knight let out a painful howl and lost his balance.
The thorny warhorse retreated in panic, trying to regain its footing.
But Wang Xiao will not give it another chance.
He drew both swords simultaneously, slashing across the Thorn Knight's chest, where the red lines were most concentrated.
The left blade slashed down, piercing through the armor and creating a huge gash in the blood-red rose shield that the Thorn Knight had hastily conjured in front of him.
The right blade followed closely behind, its silver light surging forth with unparalleled power. The sharp blade precisely pierced the rift, penetrating straight to the core of the Thorn Knight.
"hiss!!!"
The Thorn Knight let out a scream that echoed through the sky. His entire body convulsed violently, and his plant armor began to disintegrate and collapse. Countless vines twisted wildly, trying to make a final, death throes.
At that moment, the Thorn Horse charged at Wang Xiao like a madman, its mouth agape, revealing a dense array of sharp fangs.
Wang Xiao's expression remained unchanged as he sheathed his left sword and swung it backhand.
"puff"
The thorny warhorse's head, along with half its body, was severed by a single strike, turning into a limp mass of withered vines lying on the ground.
The Thorn Knight's body also completely collapsed at this moment, exploding from the inside out, and blood-red rose petals fluttered down everywhere.
Wang Xiao stood amidst the falling petals, his twin swords planted on the ground, his body covered in blood, yet his spine remained straight.
He glanced down at the two longswords in his hands, their blades already covered in cracks and their silver light about to fade, and said softly, "Three minutes, just right."
As the Thorn Knight's disguise was dispelled, only a green creature, twice the size of a fist, remained in place.
It tried to wriggle away, but Wang Xiao grabbed it in his hand.
"If I let you get away now, wouldn't all these injuries I suffered have been for nothing?"
