Chapter 14 - Cutting the Grass but Failing to Remove the Roots

"Whether you're a suitable training opponent or not can't be decided by words. We'll only know after a fight," sneered the young man in white. The blood-colored long sword in his hand trembled violently, and the sharp sword light glinted coldly under the reflection of the sunlight.

"Since that's the case, then let's fight."

Ke Bei slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then suddenly opened his eyes. His right hand slowly reached behind his back and pulled out the broadsword that was slung diagonally there.

Holding the wooden handle of the broadsword and feeling the slightly heavy blade, Ke Bei raised his eyes and stared at the handsome young man in white opposite him.

"Bang!"

With a hard stomp on the ground, the muscles in Ke Bei's calves tensed up instantly, and his body shot forward like a catapult. He didn't know any body movement techniques and was relying entirely on brute force.

The young man in white watched calmly as Ke Bei charged straight at him. Speed was his strength, and his body movements were extremely light and agile. When Ke Bei was about to approach within a three-meter range of him, the young man in white finally moved. He tapped his toes on the ground, and his body was as leisurely and erratic as a fallen leaf fluttering in the autumn wind, appearing in front of Ke Bei in an instant.

"Shua!"

The blood-colored long sword traced a beautiful arc, like a blood-colored plum blossom blooming at the tip of the sword.

Ke Bei stomped on the ground hard, his body stopped abruptly, and he slashed his broadsword upwards horizontally. With a "clang" sound, sparks flew. The young man in white smoothly twisted his long sword, and the momentum of the sword attack remained undiminished as he viciously stabbed towards Ke Bei's arm.

"Damn it!"

Ke Bei's face changed abruptly, and he quickly retreated, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

Ke Bei only knew one move, the "Intercepting Knife." When dealing with red-haired zombies, since the red-haired zombies were not fast and their attacks were simple, Ke Bei could handle them. But now, when facing the young man in white, he found himself struggling.

"Is that all you've got?"

The young man in white shook his head disdainfully when he saw Ke Bei retreating in a hurry.

"Show your real strength. Otherwise, you won't be so lucky next time."

The young man in white stood with his sword in hand, looking at Ke Bei from a distance.

"Hmph."

Ke Bei squinted his eyes slightly and let out a cold snort. He slowly inserted the broadsword back behind his back. He knew that with his current sword skills, he couldn't compete with the young man. The young man clearly had excellent body movement techniques and superb swordsmanship.

Ke Bei wasn't stupid enough to use his weaknesses to fight against others' strengths.

"Try taking this knife attack."

Ke Bei slowly raised his arm, and a three-inch-long flying knife appeared in his hand somehow.

The "Li Family's Flying Knife" was the only martial technique Ke Bei knew. When he was just an ordinary person, he could easily kill red-haired zombies with this flying knife technique. Now that his strength had increased significantly, he estimated that even if he couldn't reach the level of a second-level genetic enhancer, he should at least have the strength equivalent to that of seven or eight people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to break a first-level genetic enhancer's arm with a single punch.

"A flying knife?"

The young man in white saw Ke Bei put the broadsword behind his back and hold a small knife in his palm, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Go!"

With a low growl from his throat, Ke Bei suddenly raised his hand, flicked his wrist slightly, and the flying knife in his palm shot out like lightning, instantly reaching the young man in white.

Ke Bei's hand strength was astonishing now, and the flying knife he shot out was incredibly fast. The flying knife sliced through the air, and with a "buzz" sound, it appeared beside the young man in white's left face.

"Pu~"

The young man only felt a sudden chill on his cheek, and the flying knife had passed right by his face. A three-inch-long wound appeared on his fair face, and warm blood immediately trickled down his cheek.

"How is that possible..."

The young man in white was stunned, and the shock in his eyes couldn't be hidden. He gently touched the cheek cut by the flying knife, and his fingers were stained with a little blood.

The flying knife Ke Bei shot out was so fast that it exceeded the young man in white's imagination. He couldn't imagine how a young man of his own age could have practiced the flying knife to such a level.

In fact, not only was the young man in white shocked, but even Ke Bei himself was taken aback. He also didn't expect that the flying knife he shot out with all his strength now was so incredibly fast.

"Do you want to try again?"

Ke Bei looked at the stunned young man in white, and another flying knife appeared in his palm.

"There's no need. I can easily take your life within three meters, but I have no power to fight back beyond three meters..."

"You can go."

The young man in white shrugged, smiled at Ke Bei, and then slowly turned around. The moment he turned around, the smile on his clean face disappeared without a trace, and his face became gloomy and vicious.

"This person must not be left alive."

"With such strength at such a young age... We can't let him grow stronger."

Ke Bei didn't expect the matter to be resolved so easily. Of course, it was better not to stir up trouble. He was thinking about practicing the Peiyuan Gong and couldn't wait to go home and start practicing, so he didn't think much about it.

"Attack!"

Just as Ke Bei was about to step out of the encirclement, the young man in white suddenly shouted.

"Shua shua shua shua!"

Nine large machetes came slashing down at Ke Bei frantically. These burly men had already been prepared to attack at any moment. At the young man in white's command, the nine guards closest to Ke Bei instantly swung their machetes.

"You're courting death!"

The sudden change caught Ke Bei off guard. He let out a cry of surprise, and his body suddenly shifted sideways, avoiding the three machetes slashing at his neck. Then he quickly pulled out his broadsword and swept it towards the four machetes in front of his chest.

"Peng peng peng peng!"

Ke Bei's strength was so great that he instantly sent the four machetes in front of his chest flying. But he couldn't avoid the other two machetes. His right leg and back were each struck heavily by a machete.

His skin was torn open, and the white bones were exposed.

A searing pain spread throughout his body in an instant. Anger blazed in Ke Bei's eyes, and the last two flying knives appeared in his palm in an instant.

"How dare you plot against me! Go to hell!"

At this moment, Ke Bei no longer cared about the background of the young man in white. Since others wanted his life, why should he be polite? Why worry so much? He would deal with them first.

"Shua shua!"

Two寒光 - glinting flying knives whistled through the air.

The flying knives of Ke Bei were too fast. The young man in white was wrong. He thought that since he was more than ten meters away from Ke Bei, he would be safe. He underestimated Ke Bei's strength and the power of Ke Bei's flying knives, and he paid for his mistake with his life.

Before he could even let out a scream, the two flying knives had already pierced through his neck.

The white clothes were stained with blood, and the beautiful young man stared with wide eyes and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Master!"

When the sixteen guards saw the young man in white fall, they let out a hysterical scream.

The hearts of the sixteen guards turned cold instantly. If the young master was dead, none of them would be able to survive, and their families would also be killed.

"Kill him to avenge the young master!"

"Kill him!"

The sixteen guards with bloodshot eyes charged towards Ke Bei frantically.

"You shouldn't have provoked me."

Ke Bei looked at the sixteen crazy guards with a cold expression. He gently made a cut on his palm with the broadsword in his hand. The warm blood stained the handle of the knife, and a faint silver light flashed. The broadsword became extremely sharp.

"Die!"

"Since we've started this fight, none of you will be able to go back alive."

Ke Bei rushed out like a crazy beast. The broadsword held high above his head sliced through the air as he slashed frantically.

"Hong hong hong hong!"

Ke Bei's current strength was seven or eight times what it used to be. Coupled with the broadsword as sharp as a divine weapon, it was effortless for him to kill a first-level genetic enhancer.

In just two breaths, Ke Bei killed thirteen burly guards. Their armor was like a thin piece of paper in the face of Ke Bei's blood-stained "Sky-Splitting" knife.

"Not good! Run for your lives!"

"Run!"

"Scatter and run!"

The remaining three guards didn't expect Ke Bei to be so terrifying. After taking a look at Ke Bei, who was killing like a demon god, they let out cries of alarm and fled in a hurry.

"Hmph. It's too late to run now."

Since Ke Bei had already killed the young man in white, he definitely couldn't let any of these guards escape. If you cut the grass but don't remove the roots, it will cause endless trouble.

He ran his hand across the leather sheath at his waist, and a flying knife appeared in his hand.

"Swish!"

The guard who was running away in a panic was pierced through the head by the flying knife. With a muffled groan, he fell to the ground.

"Swish!"

Ke Bei showed no expression on his face. Another flying knife appeared in his hand, and another guard fell to the ground.

"Not good!"

Ke Bei's face changed abruptly. Just as he was about to take out a flying knife to kill the last escaping guard, he suddenly realized that he had run out of flying knives. And at this time, the only remaining guard had already fled over a hundred meters away, and it was too late to chase after him.
