A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

However, Cao Gui did not retreat but advanced, leaping forward and charging towards the oncoming ox carcass.

Just as the two were about to collide, Cao Gui activated the paper drawing again, cleverly avoiding the butcher's attack once more.

I see!

The butcher's small eyes widened, and he clearly saw how Cao Gui avoided the cow carcass. If dodging the previous sneak attack was a coincidence, then it basically proved that this kid had something wrong with him.

The butcher licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with greed and excitement.

Capture him alive!

Torture him!

Press him for answers!

With this skill, I can definitely rise to the next level in the Brotherhood, and even become the leader!

In the blink of an eye, Cao Gui's attack arrived.

The long sword, accompanied by a series of whistling sounds, swiftly pierced the butcher's throat.

clang!

The butcher raised his left hand, and the broad blade of his cleaver blocked Cao Gui's thrust.

Cao Gui's gaze sharpened, and he suddenly raised his longsword, then used all his strength to slash down!

The principle of using only seven-tenths of one's strength in a punch has vanished from Cao Gui's mind. Now, he only has one thing on his mind: to defeat him with all his might!

clang!

The butcher's eyes were bloodshot as he entered bullet time mode again, accurately blocking Cao Gui's attack.

In bullet time, nothing can outrun his eyes!

Is it blocked?

Cao Gui was slightly taken aback, then grinned menacingly. "It's alright, let's do it again!"

clang!

Come again!

clang!

clang!

clang!

Forces are reciprocal. Cao Gui's five consecutive full-force slashes did not completely defeat his opponent, but the powerful reaction force made his hands go numb.

But the butcher wasn't having an easy time either. His cleaver had developed a large chip, and his left hand, which was holding the cleaver, was trembling slightly. Cao Gui's sharp eyes clearly saw this.

The person in front of me is holding a sharp knife in their right hand, indicating that the right hand is the stronger hand, responsible for skill, while the left hand is the weaker hand, responsible for strength.

With nearly a hundred points of Dao power, his strength is actually comparable to that of the person in front of him!

Cao Gui suddenly realized that he had never known the extent of his strength, and now he finally had a benchmark to measure it against.

"Hehehe, turns out he's just a brute!"

The butcher chuckled. Despite having the initial advantage, all he did was hack and slash wildly without any skill. Even if he had decent strength, what good was that?

"It's my turn next, kid!"

With a flick of his left hand, the butcher knocked Cao Gui's long knife away, and with a slash of his right hand, his narrow, sharp knife pierced the inside of Cao Gui's right arm.

That's where the large tendon of the hand is located; the butcher wanted to cripple Cao Gui!

Cao Gui lightly touched the ground with his feet, using the momentum to quickly retreat. At the same time, he twisted his wrist, reversed his grip on the long sword, and forcefully blocked the butcher's sharp knife.

"Heh heh, not bad!" the butcher grinned maliciously. "But it's still a bit lacking!"

Thump thump thump thump!

The rapid heartbeat resumed, the butcher's eyes became bloodshot, and everything in the world slowed down once again.

kill!

The chipped cleaver and the sharp knife were swung up again, one strike after another, each one faster than the last.

But the butcher's targets were not any fatal spots; they were all Cao Gui's joints and ligaments.

Cao Gui looked horrified. In his eyes, the butcher suddenly seemed to have divine assistance, and his speed became incredibly fast.

He wielded the two short swords with incredible skill, flashing and whistling light as fast as lightning.

I can't catch it!

We can't withstand an attack in this state!

Cao Gui subconsciously relaxed his body and activated "Paper Drawing" again.

Swish swish swish swish!

"!!!"

The butcher's attacks all missed again, and Cao Gui narrowly avoided his blade each time.

The butcher couldn't help but lick his lips, his eyes filled with shock and surprise. He didn't care that this little FBI agent could avoid his ordinary attacks, but to avoid his "bullet time" attacks was something to talk about!

The butcher grew increasingly excited, determined to obtain Cao Gui's incredible evasion skill!

Even if Chief Sloan came today, he couldn't stop him!

……

On the other side, Cao Gui's gaze was gloomy. The difference in strength between him and his opponent could be described in one word:

The two sides are evenly matched!

In terms of strength, the two were evenly matched, neither gaining an advantage. In terms of swordsmanship, the opponent was extremely skilled, while he was completely ignorant and only knew how to hack and slash blindly.

But since I have "Paper Drawing", even if the opponent uses that strange, explosive speed, they can't hurt me.

Cao Gui's attack skills are lacking; he can't hurt the butcher, and the butcher can't break through "Paper Painting," so he has no way to deal with Cao Gui.

To break this deadlock, the only way is to cheat!

Cao Gui's gaze darkened slightly: "System, list out all the characters with 100 or more merit points and below 150."

On the other side, the butcher chuckled, his right hand casually reaching for his waist, where a Tokarev TT-33 pistol was faintly visible.

Having been through many battles, he could certainly see the problems that Cao Gui could see as well. To win the battle, he needed to have a backup plan.

Perfect timing, he still has his trump card gun-fu technique to use.

Chapter 12 One-Sword Style: Demon Slash!

[Mountain Bandit King Sig (100 Merit Points), Sword King Johnny (100 Merit Points), Sword Saint Joseph (100 Merit Points)]

[Axe King Morgan (120 Merit Points), Alvida (Beautiful Version) (120 Merit Points), Hundred-Trick Kro (130 Merit Points)]

[Luffy (Barrel Version) (140 Merit Points), Zoro (Ignorant Version) (140 Merit Points), Buggy...]

【…】

On the system panel, a series of character portraits gave Cao Gui a headache. The barrel version of Luffy really was just a barrel, and the beautiful version of Alvida was actually the old lady before she ate the Devil Fruit.

The system's unreliable nature was once again on full display.

Cao Gui glanced around and completely ignored the bandit kings, sword saints, knife emperors, and axe emperors. After eliminating the unreliable and mentally unstable ones, Cao Gui was left with only 3 or 4 quest cards that he could equip.

【Kuro (130 Merit Points), Alvida (Beautiful Version) (120 Merit Points), Zoro (Ignorant Version) (140 Merit Points), Luffy (Barrel Version) (140 Merit Points)】

So the question is, which one should we choose?

Cao Gui's first choice is Buggy, whose Chop-Chop Fruit makes him immune to sharp weapons, but Buggy's attack power is questionable. His second choice is Luffy, whose Gum-Gum Fruit has a peculiar characteristic, so even if he gets hurt, he won't have a big problem, but that barrel-shaped head is too creepy.

Secondly, there are Kuro and Zoro. Kuro's Silent Step is incredibly fast, but he can't control himself. The space here is small, so it's easy for him to accidentally hurt himself. As for Zoro... what's with this "I don't know the immensity of heaven and earth" version?

Cao Gui's lips twitched slightly. The system was completely unreliable; none of the characters it provided were good.

Just as Cao Gui was pondering, the butcher suddenly swung his cleaver, smashing a light tube on the ceiling and destroying it.

Sizzle~

A flash of electricity illuminated the room, leaving only one light bulb in the cold storage, which had been fairly bright, turning it dark instantly.

The butcher darted into the forest of flesh, using it to conceal himself.

As he said, he had been here for a week and was very familiar with the place.

"Hehehe, kid, you're dead, you're dead..."

A series of chilling laughs echoed incessantly, their location shifting unpredictably, making it impossible to pinpoint their direction.

But the sound grew louder and clearer, confirming that the other party knew his location!

Cao Gui took a light step back in the opposite direction of the sound. The enemy was in the dark while he was in the light, and the situation was unfavorable. He had to find a way to turn things around!

"You're dead~~, hehe...you're dead~~, you're dead."

Cao Gui silently moved his position, and the sound gradually moved away, indicating that the other party had lost their position.

Now, all I need to do is find him. Just as the thought crossed my mind, a shadow flashed across the ground.

Cao Gui was slightly taken aback. He realized that without realizing it, he had walked to the light tube that the butcher had destroyed, while the other party had run to the light tube that was still glowing.

The shadow previously revealed its location, and now it has also revealed the killer's location!

Cao Gui lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze like water, and moved lightly and silently to the other party.

The distance is very close; one thrust will take him down!

"Kid, you're dead, you're finished, you can't escape..."

It's now!

Cao Gui's face turned cold, and he suddenly leaped forward, his long knife shooting out like a venomous snake, thrusting with all his might towards the butcher's back!

however……

Clang!

The butcher suddenly turned around, and his narrow, sharp knife accurately deflected Cao Gui's military knife!
