Chapter 148 The Power of Bloodline

……

giggle~
A strange sound came from his throat, and then the man rushed towards Wu Wen.

Wu Wen quickly stretched out his right hand, reached behind his waist, and pulled out the dagger.

Just when the other party rushed in front of him.

Wu Wen immediately swung his sword, cutting from bottom to top, across his abdomen and chest.

However, unexpectedly, his sword did not rip open the opponent's stomach.

Instead, the moment the sword touched his body, a sound of metal and stone was heard.

As the cloth wrapped around him was torn open, the other person's true face was revealed to Wu Wen.

Judging from the situation, the person in front of me is not a human at all!

I saw that his body was covered with dark green scales as hard as fish scales, which protected his body tightly like a shell.

His attack was ineffective, and the opponent stretched out his hands, with his right hand pointing directly at his face and the other finger pointing at his abdomen.

Wu Wen stepped back to dodge, then struck out with the dagger in his hand again, cutting his arms on both hands.

However, just like before, when the sword blade collided with his arm, a sound of metal and stone was heard directly.

As all the covering cloth was forced open, the other party's body covered with shell-like scales was completely revealed to Wu Wen's eyes.

"I found that this person's body structure is a bit strange. It turns out that he is not a human at all!" Wu Wen speculated in his heart.

The opponent continued to chase and attack.

Wu Wen relied on his flexible movements and faster speed to dodge continuously.

As successive attacks failed to work, Wu Wen began to adjust his offensive strategy.

With the insight of infrasound, the opponent's weaknesses are all located at the joints.

Therefore, when Wu Wen drew his sword again, every strike of his sword hit the enemy's vital points.

However, the person in front of him is not stupid either.

Although he relied on the protection of the shell-like scales on his body and gave up defense to attack with all his strength, when Wu Wen wanted to attack his vital points, he was able to dodge quickly and then counterattack.

Gold sword!
There was a flash of lightning!
The repeated ineffective attacks made Wu Wen a little annoyed.

With electricity surging along his spine and the electric field strengthening him, he delivered a full-strength blow, going head-on and stabbing his opponent in the chest.

It’s a pity that even with such a sharp sword, he couldn’t break the opponent’s defense.

The commander in front of him was hit so hard that he flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

On the other hand, the dagger in Wu Wen's hand could not withstand such powerful force and cracks appeared on the sword.

"My sword!"

Wu Wen stroked the sword with some heartache.

He had the best craftsman in the palace make this sword, and it had been with him for such a long time that Wu Wen always carried it with him, even placing it at his side when he slept.

I didn't expect that I would be scrapped here today.

Wu Wen put away his dagger and looked forward solemnly.

Although the opponent suffered some internal injuries after receiving this heavy blow, it was not a big deal for him. Instead, he stood up again and rushed towards Wu Wen again.

Wu Wen spread his legs, lowered his body slightly, then stretched out his arms, as if drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, and assumed an attacking posture.

Aren't you strong in defense? Then I must fight you head-on to see who is stronger!
When the opponent approached quickly, Wu Wen swung the tail behind him to the ground suddenly, and then he rushed forward, using his fist as a blade and performing the Thirty-Six Axes of Tiangang.

Listen for a bang.

Fist for fist.

The opponent couldn't withstand the heavy blow and flew backwards.

Wu Wen quickly rushed forward, leaped forward, used his knee as a hammer, and then used the axe technique to hit him hard in the chest.

There was another thud, and the opponent fell directly to the ground and slid back a distance, leaving a deep dent on the ground. Wu Wen continued to chase him.

Seeing that the opponent was trying to endure the severe injury and wanted to turn around and escape, Wu Wen directly launched a series of attacks.

Cascading waterfalls!
He still used the axe technique, but his arms and legs were both blades, constantly whipping the opponent.

Just when the man in front of him was about to be unable to withstand his continuous attacks, Wu Wen suddenly had an epiphany and a new realization came to his mind.

That is the Tiangang Thirty-Six Axe Technique, which can incorporate infrasound waves.

Still waters run deep, and the power of the water flow is like infrasound, which, although its wavelength is slow, contains penetrating power.

Then, Wu Wen's movements suddenly became relaxed.

The whole person is like practicing Tai Chi, slowly gathering his energy.

Then he used his palm as a blade and struck the opponent on the back.

Return to the origin and turn into water!

The Qi was like an endless stream of water, pouring into the opponent's body layer by layer, directly crushing his internal organs and passing through his body.

After the realization ended, Wu Wen slowly stopped.

Then the other person's body fell heavily to the ground like a rag bag.

Seeing this scene, Wu Wen was immediately shocked and thought to himself, "Oh no!" He rushed forward to check, only to find that the other party had been beaten to death by him.

"That's great. They had so much fun beating each other that they killed the guy. Now I can't ask any questions."

Wu Wen sighed.

But now that things have come to this, there is nothing he can do but leave it like this.

ah~
With a sigh, Wu Wen cleaned up the bodies on the ground, then checked the things they carried with them to see if he could find any useful information.

But unfortunately there was nothing useful.

The sky was fading slightly.

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

Wu Wen rode on his brocade-brimmed horse and returned to Dingxiang City.

Return to the palace sacrifice place.

After entering the room.

The woman from last night was already lying on the ground, fast asleep, and she didn't react at all even when he approached her.

Wu Wen looked down at her belly and began to analyze and deduce in his mind.

Those people forcibly implanted special insects into her body and then forced her to become pregnant, with the purpose of making her give birth to a child.

Wu Wen guessed that the most likely possibility was that those people wanted to use this strange method of nurturing life to eliminate the adverse reactions caused by special insects to the human body.

Or maybe they want to use this method to pass the special properties of insects to humans.

For example, the weird leader who just fought a big battle with him.

His scales, as hard as armor, are definitely the most difficult defensive ability among all the enemies Wu Wen has encountered.

Under normal circumstances, if a person wants to acquire a special ability, he must pay a price for it.

But if this ability is acquired in the womb through genetics, then the baby can be largely immune to, or even completely immune to, these side effects.

"The power of blood?"

This word emerged in Wu Wen's mind.

This was the association that suddenly came to his mind when he thought of the special bloodline of the Zhanbo people.
