"Alright, I've said enough. Good luck."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other person's figure blurred and flew away into the distance.

Baiyuan was still amazed as he watched the other person's figure disappear.

His speed wasn't actually slow, but it was far inferior to his opponent's.

If I possessed that kind of speed, my overall strength would increase by at least three times.

Next, Baiyuan began to wander through this blood-red world, searching for his next opponent.

He did not make a big fuss and tried to keep his presence under control during his actions.

He speculated that these prisoners were best at self-preservation and ambushes, while direct combat was probably their last priority.

Just like that winged race member, when he made his move, there was no killing intent at all, and even he failed to detect it in advance.

Soon, a new goal emerged.

It was a burly figure over three meters tall, clad in light purple armor.

Without hesitation, Baiyuan suddenly made his move.

"Um?"

The opponent reacted extremely quickly, instantly unleashing their Wood Domain and simultaneously dodging to the side.

Swish swish swish swish...

Suddenly, countless sharp wooden spikes shot up from the ground, strangling towards Baiyuan like living creatures.

With a single swing of his Hundred Sources Battle Blade, the blade flashed like a waterfall, instantly slicing through and flattening all the wooden spikes.

"I don't recall anyone like you. Are you new here?" Crowe asked in a deep voice.

"Let's fight!"

Baiyuan did not answer, and his sword strike rose again, aiming at his opponent.

Kolovie no longer held back, and his true strength erupted.

Countless vines, like living snakes, sprang out and coiled around Baiyuan from all directions.

The Hundred Sources Battle Blade slashed repeatedly, cutting the attacking vines one after another.

However, the vines do not die when broken; they quickly regenerate from the broken ends and continue to attack, seemingly endlessly.

boom!

The golden domain erupted, instantly severing the vines that had invaded it, preventing them from ever regrowing.

"As expected, your vines can only regenerate by relying on the Wood Domain. Within my Metal Domain, they lose this ability," Baiyuan said knowingly.

"So what if you figured it out?" Crowe sneered. "What do you think gives me the confidence to travel alone?"

Before he finished speaking, the light purple armor he wore suddenly disintegrated, transforming into countless blades resembling blades of grass, which floated around him.

"A ninth-tier Iron Vine Grass!" Bai Yuan's eyes narrowed.

This is a fairly ordinary plant life.

If "Moyun Teng" is a rare gem among plants, then "Tie Teng Cao" is just a common, inexpensive commodity.

Among plants of the same level, the Iron Vine Grass's combat power is far inferior to that of other plant life forms, at most slightly stronger than humans of the same level.

However, with the blessing of the Korovia Wood Domain, this iron vine grass became an extremely troublesome helper!

Currently, Baiyuan and others are fighting two opponents at the same time, dealing with two Hengxing ninth-level combatants simultaneously.

Bang bang bang bang!

Korovie, holding a wooden staff, charged straight at Baiyuan.

At the same time, the vines and iron vines that had transformed into sharp blades attacked from different angles, creating a very dense offensive.

Baiyuan parried with his shield in his left hand and wielded his sword in his right as he faced off against Korov.

Clearly, Kolovie was extremely experienced in combat, and he, the vines, and the iron vine grass worked together seamlessly, launching a series of attacks.

Even though Baiyuan's swordsmanship was far superior to his opponent's staff technique, they could only fight to a draw for a time and could not break through.

Of course, Baiyuan did not fully unleash the power of his domain; he only used it to resist the opponent's Wood Domain.

If he could unleash the full potential of his domain, even if it was only at the first level, he was confident he could defeat his opponent.

"Excellent swordsmanship, and your shield handling is also beautiful."

As Kolovie spoke, he suddenly stepped back, creating distance between himself and the enemy.

"What do you mean?" Baiyuan stood with his knife in hand and asked in a deep voice.

"It's pointless," Crowe chuckled. "I can't kill you anyway, and continuing the fight won't help me, so why waste my energy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kolovi turned and left, disappearing from the blood-red field of vision in a few leaps.

In terms of overall combat strength, this person, combined with the Iron Vine Grass, is clearly stronger than the previous Winged Clan members.

The combined attack of the vines, iron vine grass, and the main body is enough to offset most of the speed disadvantage.

However, for Baiyuan, dealing with Kolovi was actually easier than dealing with the Winged Clan.

"No, speed is my weakness, and I must make up for it as soon as possible!"

Baiyuan frowned.

In the battle of cosmic geniuses, he could encounter all sorts of opponents, and he absolutely could not allow himself to have such an obvious flaw.

For the next period of time, Baiyuan continued to travel through this blood-red world, actively seeking out one opponent after another.

He consciously observed and learned from every battle, especially in terms of speed and agility, which he deliberately honed.

He no longer relied solely on domain suppression, but instead tried to find a rhythm between fast attacks and evasions, forcing himself to adapt to all kinds of sudden attacks.

Of all his encounters, the one that yielded the greatest reward for him was a battle against a prisoner who called himself "The Berserker."

The man was not tall, and was even somewhat thin, but once he started fighting, he became like a raging fire, launching a continuous barrage of attacks.

His combat skills are terrifying, his moves are seamlessly connected, and his power amplitude is far superior to Baiyuan's.

Although he only had one level of his domain, he used it in an incredibly cunning way, always disrupting Baiyuan's rhythm at crucial moments.

That battle lasted for nearly half an hour.

Baiyuan was repeatedly put on the defensive, and only managed to stabilize the situation by using the second level of his domain.

Although Baiyuan ultimately forced his opponent back by leveraging the advantage of his domain, he knew full well that in terms of combat skills and power amplitude alone, he was indeed far inferior.

This person undoubtedly possesses the strength of the second tier in the Sword Domain.

Of course, Baiyuan's existence also attracted the attention of many prisoners.

Many people know that a newcomer has arrived in the Sword Domain, and he has been challenging other strong individuals everywhere. Moreover, he is only a second-tier combatant.

Given more time, his skills will definitely improve even further.

On this day, Baiyuan sat cross-legged on a huge rock, digesting the insights gained from the battles of the past few days.

Suddenly, two figures arrived in an instant, landing on the left and right sides not far away.

Baiyuan opened his eyes, glanced at the two of them, and remained silent.

"So you're the new guy? Let us brothers test your skills!" the man on the left said in a cold voice.

Before the words were even finished, the two of them set off at the same time.

One person stirred up a whirlwind, their figure flickering like a shadow; another transformed into a thunderclap, their form appearing and disappearing amidst the lightning.

"The Wind and Thunder Brothers".

Bai Yuan's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

After this period of fighting, he has gained some understanding of the power distribution in the first level of the Sword Domain.

The seven top-tier experts of the first rank, as well as some powerful second-rank experts, have mostly established their own forces.

The reason is simple: in this killing field, even the strongest expert cannot withstand an attack by hundreds or thousands of people on their own.

Forming alliances and pooling resources became an essential choice for survival.

The Feng Lei brothers are members of the "Scorpion Society".

The Scorpion Guild has two second-tier experts in charge, making it a formidable force on this first level.

Although the Feng Lei brothers are only third-rate fighters when fighting alone, once they join forces, their combined wind and thunder create a fierce and swift attack that even ordinary second-rate experts would find difficult to defeat.

The fact that the two of them came to our door at the same time was clearly not a coincidence.

It's likely that Scorpio is intentionally testing or trying to "recruit" this ruthless newcomer.
