Chapter 1745

Ximen Wudi had originally intended to use this combat dagger to slit Kesi Dilin's throat—after all, this bastard had first launched a surprise attack, then nearly buried Ximen Wudi alive, and even tried to turn him into a Eunuch; this grudge was certainly not small—but he never expected Kesi Dilin's muscles to be this resilient!

"I told you, I won't lose—and neither will you," Kesi Dilin said, gripping the hilt with both hands and twisting hard—the entire quadrangular combat dagger began to spin!

Immediately afterward, Ximen Wudi felt a tremendous force strike him, and he was once again thrown off balance!

This time, his body lost equilibrium, arcing through the air before crashing heavily onto the deck!

Clang!

Ximen Wudi sat hard on the deck, teeth gritted in pain.

"Is this your limit?" Kesi Dilin sneered.

Then he waved his hand!

Swish!

The quadrangular combat dagger flew free, streaking like a dark bolt into a crewman's throat!

The man immediately clutched his neck and collapsed, face flushed crimson, blood gushing out!

"Kesi Dilin, do you know your actions just now were murder?" Ximen Wudi said: "There are more lives on this cruise ship than just one!"

These words struck a nerve in Kesi Dilin!

His gaze sharpened, fixed on Ximen Wudi: "Is this your teaching?"

His tone was icy, thick with suppressed fury!

Ximen Wudi drew a deep breath: "I have no need to waste words with you!"

He rose to his feet, kicked off the deck, and lunged toward Kesi Dilin!

Yet Kesi Dilin remained standing in place!

At this moment, his aura grew even more piercing!

Kesi Dilin's wrist flicked slightly—the quadrangular combat dagger flew from his hand!

The clang of metal rang out again!

The dagger struck the wall with perfect precision!

Ximen Wudi lunged before Kesi Dilin, two fist shadows slamming toward him!

Kesi Dilin blocked with one arm, parried Ximen Wudi's attack, then delivered a brutal, vicious punch to his opponent's ribs!

Thud!

A muffled crash—Ximen Wudi was flung over ten meters away; after landing, he staggered several steps before barely regaining his stance!

That punch made him feel his internal organs had nearly shifted position!

"Now, who do you think is superior—me or you?" Kesi Dilin said grimly.

His eyes were pitch-black, his entire body radiating a deadly aura that sent chills down the spine!

This killing intent was unbearable!

"Your mind has long been twisted!" Ximen Wudi said: "I'd rather you kept your former brightness and purity!"

After a pause, Ximen Wudi added: "Even if your background is terrifying, this kind of killing is too cruel…"

"I never considered it cruel," Kesi Dilin said: "It's the law of survival—strong prey on the weak, the fit survive. That's my pursuit."

"You'll never find the answer! You're a madman!"

Saying this, Ximen Wudi roared: "Gesi Lin!"

Gesi Lin had been waiting on the deck; hearing Ximen Wudi's shout, she leapt down immediately!

Kesi Dilin sneered at Ximen Wudi: "Today, I'll show you whether I can kill her."

After saying this, he stepped forward sharply, covering seven or eight meters in a single stride, closing the distance instantly!

Ximen Wudi's breath caught!

For he suddenly realized Kesi Dilin's speed was half a beat faster than he'd anticipated!

Kesi Dilin's fist shot toward Gesi Lin—Ximen Wudi tried to intercept, but it was already too late!

Thud!

Gesi Lin's shoulder was struck!

Her body recoiled five or six steps backward!

"You bastard, damn thing!" Ximen Wudi cursed, fists clenched, his battle fervor surging again!

This was Ximen Wudi's peak state at sea!

Yet Kesi Dilin made no further attack!

He stood still, coldly watching Ximen Wudi, as if locking him in place!

"What's wrong? Why don't you attack?" Ximen Wudi sneered: "I don't believe you truly have the qualifications to be my opponent—my opponent should be Zeus and Apollo!"

As he spoke, Ximen Wudi's killing intent surged rapidly!

"Do you know, you're the most courageous human I've ever met," Kesi Dilin said calmly, a nostalgic glint in his eyes: "But you all fail one word… stupid."

With that, Kesi Dilin suddenly moved!

His form unfolded like a hunting leopard, lunging straight at Ximen Wudi!

The speed was too fast—Ximen Wudi couldn't react at all!

This man's strength already far surpassed Ximen Wudi's, and with this sudden burst of speed, it was simply unbelievable!

Ximen Wudi couldn't even block—he was kicked squarely in the abdomen and flew back over ten meters!

This blow made his stomach churn violently; he opened his mouth and spat out a gush of blood!

"You damn bastard!"

Ximen Wudi wiped blood from his lips, roared in fury, and charged at Kesi Dilin!

The latter also charged toward Ximen Wudi!

These two crossed paths in midair; Kesi Dilin's palm clamped onto Ximen Wudi's shoulder, then slid down along it, delivering a punch straight to Ximen Wudi's waist!

Boom!

A muffled crash!

Kesi Dilin's strike was brutally violent, instantly bending Ximen Wudi over!

Ximen Wudi's hip bone nearly shattered under the force of that powerful punch!

Yet he did not choose to surrender; he surged power from his waist, enduring Kesi Dilin's devastating blow, and lifted his right knee to ram it into the latter's abdomen!

Kesi Dilin sidestepped several paces, evading Ximen Wudi's knee strike, then swung a whip-like kick that struck Ximen Wudi's chest!

Boom!

This time, Ximen Wudi's body flew backward again!

He lay sprawled on the ground, his chest cavity searing with pain!

Though Kesi Dilin's kick had not struck a vital point, it was more than enough to injure Ximen Wudi!

"Damn bastard, die!"

Kesi Dilin growled lowly and stepped forward again!

Yet at this moment, Ximen Wudi gritted his teeth and pushed himself up through the pain!

He glanced at his right arm; the elbow was raw and flayed open!

Kesi Dilin's blow had been too brutal—Ximen Wudi still hadn't recovered!

Not only did his right arm throb with unbearable pain, but the internal injuries to his chest and abdomen made him feel nauseous and suffocated!

Yet at this moment, Kesi Dilin's long blade was raised high above his head!

He was ready to use this weapon to end the battle!

Ximen Wudi stared at the glinting blade; he felt no fear, gripped the railing with both hands, and leapt down!

"You're insane!" Gesi Lin screamed!

"Shut up, little girl."

Ximen Wudi spoke, then thrust his left foot hard into Kesi Dilin's wrist!

Clang!
