If Meng Chao's reaction speed had been delayed by 0.01 seconds …
The sharp blade that was as thin as a cicada's wing, almost transparent, and invisible would pierce through his temple and into his brain.
Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang had indeed seen through his identity.
But he did not choose to attack the moment they brushed past each other.
Instead, he pretended that he did not know anything and made Meng Chao lower his guard.
But he used some unknown method to move in front of Meng Chao and ambush him through the wall.
Reinforced concrete might seem to be thick, but to Heaven Realm superhumans, it was no different from a wet newspaper.
Meng Chao felt the sharp blade graze the tip of his nose.
He could even feel the pain of the blade piercing his nose and stabbing into his brain.
But he did not panic, and neither did he continue retreating.
Instead, he used the stretching force of his cervical spine and muscles to swing his head back and bite down on the blade.
His spirit energy surged into his teeth, making them as hard as steel. He could even crush the bones of Hell Beasts into powder.
The blade was stuck between his teeth and did not move for a period of time.
At the same time, Bloody Soul shot out of the cloak. With a thud, it sank into the wall where the blade had come from.
Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang did not expect that Meng Chao would be so wary and brave.
Not only was he not hit, he even fought with his life on the line like a demon.
With the wall between them, Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang could not swing the thin shadowless saber.
He made a prompt decision and let go, allowing Meng Chao to pull out the shadowless saber with his teeth.
Then, he pressed his hands against Bloody Soul's blade and used Barehanded Blade Grab.
Everything happened too suddenly. Neither of them had time to activate the crystals on their sabers and activate the killing moves stored in their runic formations.
They could only push their surging vitality magnetic fields to the max. They were like two waves crashing into each other in a simple and brutal manner with a wall between them.
Boom!
The reinforced concrete that separated the two of them instantly exploded.
Countless shattered stones and dust were swept up by their vitality magnetic fields. They spun and rubbed against each other at high speed and turned into blinding sparks. They were like shooting stars that rained down on each other's heads.
Both of them could not open their eyes from the impact.
Meng Chao seized the chance to swing his neck and bite down on Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang's shadowless saber.
Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang also snatched Bloody Soul from Meng Chao.
Without thinking, Meng Chao threw his chain sabers that were surrounded by electric arcs.
It wrapped around Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang's second saber and was stuck there. They were equally matched.
"Pu!"
Meng Chao circulated his spirit energy and used Object Manipulation to throw the shadowless saber at Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang's face.
Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang seemed to have tossed aside Meng Chao's Bloody Soul and grabbed his second saber with both hands to fight against Meng Chao's chain saber.
At the moment Bloody Soul landed on the ground, he lifted his leg and kicked the hilt, causing Bloody Soul to turn into a fierce, blood-red glare that shot toward Meng Chao's face.
All of this happened in half a second.
In half a second, the two of them exchanged blows, and their brains simulated dozens of thrilling life-and-death attacks and defenses.
In the end, they chose to pour their spirit energy under their feet at the same time and attack the floor fiercely. They pierced through the reinforced concrete under their feet and fell deeper into the underground maze.
Using this method, he dodged the opponent's fatal attack that was aimed straight at his face.
At the same time, they retrieved their main weapons.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
With their main weapons in their hands, they were still in the process of falling. Before they could regain their balance, they eagerly launched their second round of attacks at each other.
This time, there were no walls in front of them.
They were purely competing in speed and strength. There were no fancy moves.
In just a short three seconds, they exchanged more than one hundred slashes.
They were clearly sabers that could cut through metal as if it was mud and were unstoppable.
But they managed to make out the presence of heavy warhammers and spiked maces.
Their four arms were like four pile drivers.
And they were basically two large demolition machines.
There wasn't a single floor that could withstand their incomparably violent and monstrous strength.
They blasted holes in the floors one after another. Then, through the holes, they fell even deeper into the ground.
Just like that, they shot through more than ten floors.
When the villagers nearby heard the noise, they covered their heads and scurried away.
The reinforced concrete above them was also affected by the impact waves and spirit energy magnetic fields. It collapsed and fell.
They fell to the lowest level of the building.
Under their feet was a sturdy foundation and an even sturdier rock stratum.
For the time being, they were blocked to the sides by the collapsed ruins.
But the ruins were not densely packed. Through the cracks, they could still see each other.
Even the densest ruins, or even the reinforced concrete that was ten meters thick, could not stop the two men's equally burning killing intent.
Meng Chao panted like an injured tiger.
To create the illusion that he was heavily injured and had exhausted his spiritual energy, he did not go all out during the fall and the fight just now. He only used 70% of his strength and intentionally made the output of his spiritual energy intermittent and unstable.
The result was that his right hand had a new wound that was so deep that his bone could be seen from the webbing between his thumb and index finger, his wrist, his elbow, and his shoulder blade.
Blood dripped down like tap water. It was incredibly clear in the dark underground, which was as silent as a grave.
"Rip!"
But he did not even bat an eyelash.
He tore off a strip of cloth from his tattered cloak with his teeth and wrapped his trembling right hand tightly around Bloody Soul's wet hilt.
Then, he narrowed his eyes and observed Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang on the other side of the ruins.
The optical camouflage cloak on Gao Yang's body was also torn apart by Meng Chao's saber glare, revealing a body that was as strong as a lion's.
He was the same as many ace hunters and wilderness survival experts.
Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang did not like to wear nano fighting suits.
These people believed that while nano fighting suits could increase the maximum output of their muscles and spread out the damage they received, they would weaken their skin and hair's perception of their surroundings. In fact, they would even stop spirit energy from gushing out of their pores to participate in the circulation and resonance of the planet's magnetic field.
Besides, once they got used to the increase in strength and defense provided by nano fighting suits, once the fighting suits were damaged, their fighting strength would plummet, and it would be a fatal problem.
These old-school experts still believed that their bodies were the best and strongest protective equipment and weapons.
Indeed, Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang's muscles were sharp, and they were like indestructible armor.
The crisscrossing, dense scars on his body and the glittering spiritual tattoos surrounding them were like the most dominating tattoos and medals.
Meng Chao's gaze moved from Gao Yang's scars to his weapons.
During their first fight, Gao Yang had used two normal sabers, and they had been destroyed by Meng Chao's Bloody Soul.
But now, this peerless criminal had switched to two brand new weapons.
There was no need to mention the thin, nearly transparent, and formless blade in his left hand.
Meng Chao's gaze lingered on the saber in his right hand, which was as sharp as a tiger's fang.
Meng Chao had seen this saber before.
It had been a few hours ago.
This should not have been Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang's weapon.
Instead, it was the weapon of a veteran hunter known as Saber-toothed Tiger in the capture squad.
At that time, Meng Chao could tell that the saber was extraordinary based on the light it reflected, and due to his curiosity as a harvester, he asked a few more questions. It was only then that he learned that more than one hundred fangs and leg bones from three high-grade Hell Beasts had been used to create this saber.
Even if it was in the hands of a normal person, it would be as easy as tearing tissue paper to cut through the armor of a main battle tank.
It was no wonder then why only a grain-sized dent had appeared on the blade when it fought against Meng Chao's Bloody Soul for hundreds of rounds.
No superhuman would easily lose such a divine weapon.
Meng Chao sighed in his heart. By the looks of it, the original owner of this saber, the veteran hunter known as Saber-toothed Tiger, was probably dead.
Just as he expected, when Meng Chao shifted his gaze to Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang again …
He saw a necklace around his neck.
It was a necklace made of bloody human ears.
Meng Chao knew that many of the old-school hunters liked to cut off their ears or other symbolic parts when they killed large monsters that weighed dozens of tons and found it difficult to transport them on the spot to mark their achievements.
In this hunting ground, the only things that had the right to be marked by Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang were the ears of Heaven Realm superhumans.
"He's already killed three Heaven Realm superhumans?"
Meng Chao spat out a mouthful of bloody spit.
His killing intent was like oil that had been poured on a fire.
"If that's the case, I can't let you go.
"Even if I die, I have to hold you back here. With every second I hold you back, the heavily injured veteran hunters will have a higher chance to escape from the ruins and stage a comeback!"
Meng Chao sized up Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang.
This infamous and peerless criminal was also sizing up Meng Chao carefully.
He was like a hungry ghost in the depths of hell who had just discovered a delicious feast.
They stood in confrontation for a long time. Then, Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang suddenly grinned and did something Meng Chao did not expect.
He pulled off the three human ears around his neck and stuffed them into his mouth. Crunch, crunch. He started chewing.
"I've already gotten three prey today."
When Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang saw Meng Chao's shocked and puzzled expression, he chuckled and said, "But after I met you, I think that the three people I just killed don't have the right to be my prey.
"Compared to you, they're weak and stupid. They claim to be veteran hunters, but they don't even have the most basic sense of danger. They're just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
"The process of killing them is just a boring slaughter. It's not a true hunt.
"Only your ears have the right to be hung around my neck.
"You are the only one who deserves every drop of energy that I absorb and all my wisdom and strength for a gratifying, splendid hunt!"
