The sound of Velent raising his weapon to block Heo's spear interrupted Heo's thoughts.

At the same time, more undead surged in from all directions, rushing towards Heo's body.

It seems that the goal is to dilute the pollution in Heo Heo's body with sheer quantity, thereby harming his soul.

He immediately raised his gun and swept it horizontally to the left, the gun barrel scraping the edge of Velent's invisible weapon.

It's a knife.

The outline of that invisible weapon flashed quickly through He Ao's mind.

At the same time, the spear in his hand spun counterclockwise, its slender shaft rotating in a cone shape along his body, swiftly shattering the incoming souls with the spear filled with divine sense.

Then, the instant the gun returned to its original position, He Ao raised the gun with both hands, suddenly jumped up, and slashed the gun at Velent's face.

This time, Velent did not block directly, but dodged to the side. Heo's spear tip, which had missed its target, immediately turned and deflected towards Velent's body.

After undergoing the pollution-induced transformation at the Winding Hill, Heo's body was significantly strengthened.

The most significant change is that his basic physical attributes have exceeded the 800 limit, and with the added boost from super memory and fist techniques, he should have reached the level of a regular B-grade.

Furthermore, due to the strong regenerative ability gained after being contaminated, the time for amplifying power using fist techniques has increased to more than a minute.

This means that as long as he makes good use of his power and selectively allocates the timing of his bursts, he can consistently and stably perform at the B-level strength during those three minutes.

The price he pays is that the longer and more intense the battle, the more his body is contaminated. He won't go insane from the contamination, but he will gradually lose his human form and become a monster.

"Good weapon."

Velent dodged Heo's attack, did a backflip to distance himself from Heo again, and laughed.

His reason for praising the spear was simple: this seemingly ordinary spear could easily shred incorporeal undead.

This surprised him slightly.

“You are very strong, but your fighting skills are far inferior to Driss’s.”

He Ao, holding a long spear, stared at him.

Driss, whether in terms of strength

Both the quantity and the skill are top-notch; you have to use ten parts of your strength to achieve twelve parts of the effect.

While Velent is strong, his fighting skills are not as good as Driss'.

Of course, this does not mean that Velent is weaker than Driss. Driss can exert twelve times the effect of ten times the strength, while Velent cannot exert such a super performance, but he himself has fifteen times the strength.

Moreover, this guy can summon undead to aid him in battle.

Of course, most of the time, you can't expect someone who's always behind the scenes to have great fighting skills.

If Heo hadn't stopped the ritual, trapping Velent in a situation where he couldn't cancel it and retreat, even if Velent were incredibly strong, he might have simply canceled the ritual and run away once he realized Heo's explosive power.

Now that the ritual has progressed to this point, if the winding hill ultimately fails to receive a sacrifice, it will 'eat' the ritual officiant.

Therefore, at this moment, Velent had no way out.

But he really hadn't had such an exhilarating battle in a long time.

He stared at He Ao before him, and without hesitation, leaped up, his invisible blade slashing horizontally towards He Ao's neck.

He Ao immediately raised his spear and parried diagonally, blocking the slashing blade.

hum-

The gun barrel, covered by divine sense, along with He Ao's wrist, visibly trembled. Then, the invisible blade carried the gun barrel towards He Ao's neck.

The sharp blade grazed He Ao's shoulder, slicing through his clothes and leaving a bloody gash, before finally stopping at He Ao's neck, unable to advance any further.

The invisible, icy blade almost touched He Ao's neck, and blood, intertwined with a faint red and purple glow, oozed from his neck.

This invisible knife not only cut through his flesh, but also wounded his soul.

However, what surprised He Ao the most was Velent's second burst of power after he blocked the invisible blade.

Hidden strength?

He looked up and glanced at Velent.

Just now, Velent had exerted this kind of subtle force in stages, and at the moment the blade and the gun collided, he exerted force again, catching him off guard.

If he hadn't learned how to neutralize force during his fight with Driss and managed to withstand that burst of internal energy, his spear would have been cleaved in two, and he would be decapitated by now.

Velent's fighting skills are only weaker compared to Driss; he is not weak in himself.

Seeing that his attack had failed, Velent did not hesitate and drew his sword to slash horizontally at Heo from the other side.

This time, He Ao blocked it again with his gun.

Then came another burst of internal force, which pushed the gun that had blocked the blade forward, but He Ao still managed to stop it before it reached its vital points.

At the same time, He Ao's eyes, covered by divine sense, were also watching the flow of power in Velent's body when he unleashed his power.

boom--

Velent drew his sword again and slashed at Heo's lower body, but Heo blocked it with a spinning spear.

This was yet another outburst of hidden power.

He Ao's gun trembled, and this time it wasn't cleaved too far.

At the same time, He Ao began to imitate Velent's energy mobilization, mobilizing the energy within his own body.

The way Velent's hidden energy flowed was different from He Ao's sudden burst of power earlier.

They are similar in some ways, but not exactly the same.

This hidden force is actually a two-stage explosive power.

The first burst of power, when Velent swung his sword, wasn't actually that strong. This entire burst of power was actually a preparation for the second burst of power by adjusting his body shape.

When the initial burst of power is blocked, the waist, hips, and shoulders of the body naturally become one. The originally winding energy path is adjusted by the body and placed on an optimal burst path, just like the straight spear in He Ao's hand, which is unobstructed and continuous.

Immediately following, he exerted force from his waist and hips, and his entire body exploded in two stages like a swift spear, unleashing a 'hidden force' far exceeding that of the first stage.

The difficulty in learning this technique lies in how to mobilize the body's muscles to optimize the body's energy pathways.

Of course, this wasn't particularly difficult for He Ao, who was already used to mobilizing his body's energy.

scandium--

The invisible blade in Vilent's hand slashed toward Heo's heart again, but Heo blocked it with his gun. Then, he unleashed a second burst of power, pressing Heo's gun against his heart.

This time, Velent unleashed even greater power than before, instantly closing the distance between himself and He Ao, the tip of his knife piercing into the flesh of He Ao's chest.

But that was all; his blade was stuck in He'ao's chest and could not advance any further.

Just as he was about to draw his sword after exhausting all his strength, a tremendous force suddenly came from the point where the sword and spear clashed. Caught off guard, the invisible sword was deflected, and his arms were thrown open.

Hidden strength?

He looked at He Ao with some disbelief.

Despite his shock, he simultaneously raised his other hand to block the trajectory of He Ao's potential spear thrust.

However, He Ao did not thrust his spear as he expected. Instead, he spun the spear, turned around, and plunged the spear into the ground at an angle.

Then He Ao gripped the gun handle, used the momentum to leap into the air, and kicked Velent in the chest, sending him flying.

"puff--"

Velent crashed into the artificial hill beside him, spitting out a mouthful of purple blood. Countless cracks instantly spread across the surface of the artificial hill, and finally, with a soft 'bang,' the entire artificial hill shattered.

He Ao also used hidden force in that kick, his leg was more powerful than his hand, and even Velent has broken several bones now.

“This talent… I know why Driss is so determined to kill you.”

Velent got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

God knows how much time he spent learning this skill back then.

At this moment, He Ao's hands did not stop. He turned around and kicked the gun barrel. The gun tip, which was stuck in the ground, bounced and kicked up a bunch of cement stones, which flew towards Velent.

These pebbles somewhat obstructed Velent's view.

As Velent's vision was obscured, Heo leaped up and thrust his gun into Velent's neck.

That kick just now further widened the distance between him and Velent. When using a long weapon against a short weapon, the distance gives you an advantage.

Villent immediately parried with his sword, while Heo drew his spear and thrust it upwards towards Villent's brow.

boom--

With a soft click, Velent held the invisible blade horizontally to his side.

He moved forward, blocking the downward thrust of the spear.

He Ao immediately drew his gun slightly backward, then quickly pressed down on the gun barrel, and then suddenly thrust the gun upward.

These movements were extremely fast, happening in the blink of an eye. Before Velent could even react, Heo's spear struck the back of the invisible blade that was still held horizontally in front of him.

Vilent had originally intended to block the tip of He Ao's spear by applying upward force, but He Ao quickly changed his aim to a flick, also an upward force. With the combined effect of these two forces, the blade in Vilent's hand was deflected upwards.

With his chest exposed, Velent was completely unprepared.

Without hesitation, He Ao took a half step forward, his spear flashing like a dragon, directly piercing Velent's heart.

Velent immediately leaned back, trying to dodge the attack, but the spear tip still tore his clothes, leaving a bloody gash on his chest.

Amidst the spray of blood in the night sky, Velent also jabbed his knife back into Heo's gun, pushing it upwards to deflect the gunshot.

In that instant, He Ao suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He immediately drew his gun, pressed it down, held it horizontally at his waist, and swept it behind him.

A soul that was about to approach him was ripped apart by the sharp tip of a spear.

However, unlike the other undead that he had simply scattered, this one did not rush at him again.

This is no ordinary undead; it can withstand the contamination and harm itself.

A thought flashed through He Ao's mind: he could either dodge the undead's attack or move forward directly to completely scatter it.

He had no time to think, and instinctively raised his spear and thrust it out, piercing the undead's body. With a flick of his wrist, he completely shattered the undead.

At that very moment, his heart tightened, and he immediately pulled away and moved aside.

puff--

An invisible blade pierced his right chest, and blood, glowing with a reddish-purple light, splattered out.
