The moment it thrusts downwards, it will definitely rotate its wrist and stab horizontally towards the spot where I dodge.

If I fell for the trap at that moment, in close combat, I wouldn't have time to dodge a second time. Its dagger, however, would have a greater advantage, piercing straight into my heart.

These Haru are no ordinary beings; they are far more powerful than the Haru who attacked haphazardly and without any strategy before.

However, despite his good intentions, it was all for naught. I had seen everything, and his actions seemed no different from burying his head in the sand.

Since you're trying to trick me, I'll play along and play along for a bit.

As I expected, the knife stabbed straight down toward my face. I instinctively dodged to the left to avoid the incoming blade.

Haru looked smug. These people really only knew how to bully others with their weapons; they were no match for them in close combat.

Haru immediately twisted his wrist and stabbed at my heart at an extremely tricky angle.

Susu and Dante gasped in shock at the sudden turn of events.

"Master, be careful!"

"Sir, be careful!"

I already knew this guy's tricks. If he wanted to trick me, then he should try this!

Just as the dagger was less than ten centimeters away from me, I suddenly raised my knife to block the back of the blade, pointing the blade at Haru's attacking wrist.

I don't know if this dagger will hit its mark, but I do know that if Haru can't immediately deflect the force of his thrust, his wrist will definitely collide with my sharp blade.

Given how ruthless and fierce Haru's attacks are, it's not impossible that he could break his own wrist.

When Haru saw the blade suddenly appear and point it at his wrist, he was terrified, knowing that if it touched his wrist, he would surely lose it.

Haru was a ruthless fellow. Seeing the situation was turning against him, he couldn't stop in time with his right hand. He immediately used his free left hand to clench his fist and punched it, blocking Haru's advancing right arm.

Although the force of this punch was slightly less than that of the dagger thrust, the collision of the two forces still managed to neutralize the momentum of the right hand's advance.

However, this time the enemy wasn't even scratched, while they themselves suffered heavy losses.

The immense force of the impact nearly disarmed it. Haru shook its still-numb right arm and, raising the dagger in its hand, launched another series of stabs at me.

What I see now is just a slowed-down version of a three-banded serpent attack.

At that moment, I shook my head, indicating that such combat power was still somewhat insufficient. It wasn't even enough to match the strength of a single three-banded coelacanth, while my limit was two.

If that's all there is to it, I'd like to stand in the center of the ring and shout to the entire audience like Ip Man.

"I want to take on ten!"

Seeing how easily I moved between Haru's daggers, Su Su and Dante couldn't help but feel a sense of respect. Master is indeed worthy of being called Master.

Master doesn't seem to be exerting any force yet. Fighting this Haru is like an old man toying with a child.

At this moment, Haru was becoming more and more alarmed as the fight progressed. What kind of monster was this kid? How could his reaction speed be so fast?

It was confident that its dagger was fast enough, but this person was only dodging, but the reaction speed of that dodge was too fast.

Often, just as one raises their hand to stab, the opponent seems to anticipate their movement, adjusting their body in time to execute the smoothest dodge.

After several repetitions, a look of terror appeared on the Haru's face.

Seeing that its companion couldn't do anything to me for a long time, another Haru immediately slashed with its dagger and joined the battle.

It's a pity that Su Su took one down, otherwise today we would have had a three-on-one battle against Lu Bu, with Lu Bu dominating the fight.

With Haru joining the fray, the battle became much more interesting than before. Now, the two of them, working together to work on their angles, could barely match the speed of a three-banded serpent.

But that's still far from enough; it doesn't even reach my limit. They don't seem fast enough to keep up with me, so I decided to take care of one first.

I raised my knife once more, but this time the knife technique I used was not the conventional, wide-ranging style of martial arts.

The knife skills were learned from climbing trees every day. I gave this knife skills a fitting name: the close-quarters rolling knife technique.

Rather than a sword technique, it's more accurate to describe it as a close-quarters survival tactic I developed to ensure my safety in melee combat.

As its name suggests, this sword technique uses hand speed combined with visual perception to make the blade move quickly along the body.

The advantage of this is that it saves defensive time and is much less strenuous than those wide-ranging sword techniques, so that even in a prolonged battle, one can still put up a fight.

Su Su and Dante stared wide-eyed at me as I unleashed my beast technique for the first time; they never imagined that a knife could be used in such a way.

In Su Su's eyes, it seemed as if my whole body was shrouded in invisible blades, something like a golden shield.

However, I feel there is still a difference. My Blade is not just for defense; it is more like a piece of equipment, Thornmail!

At that moment, the two Haru attacked me with daggers from one in front and one behind, but seeing the dazzling array of blades, they didn't know where to begin.

I wasn't going to keep performing free stunts for them. I quickly moved forward, my feet tapping lightly, towards Haru, whose arm had been numb from the vibrations.

At this moment, Haru was completely panicked and at a loss. His attack rhythm had also lost its previous order, becoming more like that of a street thug.

"Swish swish swish!"

Three blades flashed past, and three spurts of blood shot out from Haru's body. Don't underestimate lacerations; they can be fatal if tendons or muscle fibers are extensively severed.

In actual combat, it is more effective than a stabbing wound, and can directly incapacitate the opponent.

The kind of TV dramas where someone can chase after someone even with multiple cuts on their body is pure nonsense. Human strength mainly comes from muscles. If your muscles are all cut off, how can you build up your strength?

Haru let out a scream. Now it couldn't even protect its body. These three cuts were made to the muscle groups I had carefully targeted. Once it was seriously injured, it would basically be dead.

To stop its howling, I slit the Haru's throat with a single stroke. The law of the jungle, forged through countless life-or-death trials, has taught me that there can be no mercy towards an enemy.

I turned to look at the last Haru, who was now trembling with fear. This person was clearly not as tall as his companions, yet he was so ferocious in a fight.

Looking at Haru, who was trembling with fear, I threw the knife in my hand to the ground with a clatter.

Haru seemed a little confused, so I waved to it, signaling it to attack me.
