"Where did this little brat come from?"
The Abyss Shark's eyes widened. Seeing Zhao Mutou's frivolous attitude, its sharp teeth scraped together, producing a chilling, ear-piercing sound.
"Kid, who do you think you are? Are you tired of living and looking for death?"
"Me?" Zhao Mutou still tilted his head:
"Zhao Mutou, deputy battalion commander of the fourth battalion of the new seventh regiment."
The refugees looked on in disbelief, their eyes fixed on Zhao Mutou, who had rescued them.
They knew this child all too well. Zhao Mutou always gave people an extremely dull feeling. He looked at everything with a lifeless expression, as if he had no interest in anything in the world and didn't like to talk to people.
Zhao Mutou rarely interacted with others in the Seventh Regiment and always kept to himself.
Zhao Mutou would only respond when Li Yu and Ma Yuanbai spoke to him.
They often teased this somewhat withdrawn boy by calling him "the acting battalion commander of the fourth battalion," since Zhao Mutou was indeed the only one left in the fourth battalion.
But who would have thought that Zhao Mutou, who seemed so ordinary and even a bit of a loner, actually possessed such amazing strength and was able to step forward and save them at this critical moment?
"Abyss Shark! Don't go too far!" Dark Tide's voice suddenly came, reminding him seriously.
Even the moment he was being stared at, he felt the overwhelming killing intent emanating from Zhao Mutou.
It's absolutely impossible for such a young Awakened to possess such intense killing intent! This is highly abnormal.
Yuansha ignored him, slowly walked to the weapon stuck in the ground, forcefully pulled out the scythe, and turned to look at Zhao Mutou with a sinister grin:
"Perfect timing to stretch my muscles! Today I'll start with you, you arrogant little brat."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scythe in his hand whistled through the air as it spun and swiftly slashed at Zhao Mutou's neck.
Zhao Mutou's eyes sharpened, and seizing the opportunity, he swung his machete fiercely, the blade tracing a sharp arc.
With a loud clang, sparks flew, and the chain sickle was blocked once again.
Upon seeing this, Abyss Shark smiled slightly:
"Is that all you've got, you brat!"
He clenched his fist with his five fingers like claws, and the scythe that had been lying on the ground suddenly coiled around Zhao Mutou's ankle like a venomous snake, and the coral polyps on it immediately opened their mouths and pierced into Zhao Mutou's body.
"Drowning - The Abyss of Eternity!"
The ring in Abyss Shark's hand suddenly flashed, and a large amount of seawater surged out of the scythe, completely enveloping Zhao Mutou along with the coral polyps.
The seawater seemed to come from the endless depths of the ocean, its coldness penetrating to the bone, as if it could seep into Zhao Mutou's marrow, instantly enveloping his body in its chill.
The coral polyps were frantically biting his body, each bite bringing excruciating pain.
"Snap!"
Zhao Mutou's ankle cracked with a sound, and the coral polyps continued to inject toxins that paralyzed his nerves.
Only after the seawater completely enveloped the area, forming a death vortex, did the abyssal shark burst into maniacal laughter:
"Little brat! Taste the ocean!"
Zhao Mutou gritted his teeth, unable to breathe at all as the seawater soaked him.
His consciousness began to fade, and he gradually lost control of his body.
As the pain intensified, his anger burned even more fiercely, and his murderous intent towards the Abyss Shark almost consumed his reason.
On the brink of life and death, Zhao Mutou had only one thought in his mind;
"kill!"
In an instant, the "absolute killing intent" hidden deep within his body erupted, and Zhao Mutou suddenly became even more ferocious, as if he had become a completely different person.
The taunts of the abyss shark abruptly stopped, because the seawater surrounding Zhao Mutou suddenly boiled and turned red!
This was not due to the high temperature, but because the seawater was gradually being dyed a blood-red color.
It's blood!
Not only that, but the coral polyps that were firmly attached to Zhao Mutou also emitted a shrill scream, and instantly carbonized and peeled off, burned by the high temperature.
"What?!"
Abyss Shark seemed to have seen something incredible. He instinctively yanked hard on the scythe, but the scythe did not budge.
Looking up, they saw Zhao Mutou's blood-red hand break through the water prison, grab the other end of the chain sickle, and yank it hard!
The shark was pulled forward and staggered, and the cage made of seawater completely shattered, splashing water everywhere.
The shark's arm went slightly numb from the powerful reaction force, and it was greatly alarmed.
He never imagined that this seemingly frail child possessed such immense power, far exceeding his expectations.
"Interesting, going all out from the start." Abyss Shark steadied himself, the contempt in his eyes vanishing without a trace.
He had already realized that Zhao Mutou seemed to be in a life-threatening state of rapidly overdrawing his supernatural abilities and life force.
Yuansha re-examined Zhao Mutou and realized that this young man was no ordinary character.
Zhao Mutou had emerged from the shattered water prison, his entire body radiating intense killing intent. Rainwater fell on him, instantly evaporating from his blood aura.
"kill."
At this moment, Zhao Mutou's eyes were completely glazed over, and he was only controlling his body with a vague subconscious.
He gripped the machete and walked step by step toward the Abyss Shark.
As he moved, the "absolute killing intent" within his body was also running wildly, and the killing intent light attached to the machete became increasingly intense.
“Kid, you’ve successfully piqued my interest.” Abyss Shark said, stretching his arms as he spoke.
"But today, you still cannot escape death."
Abyss Shark angrily pointed, and the energy in the ring on his hand surged out instantly, unleashing his full power from the very first strike.
The scythe that Zhao Mutou had been holding suddenly transformed into a nimble loach, turning into a ghostly blue afterimage and plunging into Zhao Mutou's arms at an eerie angle.
"puff--"
The scythe, with its scythe-like sharp blade, pierced through Zhao Mutou's body in an instant!
"Zhao Mutou!" A nearby refugee couldn't help but exclaim.
The speed of the kusarigama was too fast, so fast that Zhao Mutou's reaction couldn't keep up at all.
The blood mist on his body exploded in the rain, and the parts of the blood that came into contact with the scythe made a constant sizzling sound, as if greedily devouring Zhao Mutou's life force.
Fortunately, the mutated coral polyps on the scythe had already been completely burned away by the high-temperature blood energy on Zhao Mutou's body during the previous attack, and had not regenerated.
Zhao Mutou seemed to have completely lost consciousness, no longer feeling any pain, and stood there motionless as if his soul had been taken away.
However, he still gripped the machete tightly in his hand.
"Trash should stay in the trash heap!" Abyss Shark laughed triumphantly.
Just as he was about to forcefully pull back the scythe to end the battle, he heard the clicking sound of bones resetting.
The smile on Yuansha's face froze instantly. Zhao Mutou's killing intent solidified into a blood-red aura, pulsating wildly as if it were alive.
Zhao Mutou pulled out the scythe that had pierced his body. The bloody hole in his abdomen was writhing wildly and was quickly stitched up by blood-red threads.
"Kill...kill!"
