Universe Infinite Canteen

He stumbled forward a couple of steps but, fortunately, his base attributes were high enough that taking a punch wasn\'t a big problem.

By the time he turned around and slashed with his Chef\'s Knife, splitting Sanrew\'s body in two, the latter turned into yellow sand again.

—— The sand body ability.

That was Sanrew\'s Psychic Power, which was the polar opposite of Boggy\'s Water Shield, and in a desert environment, it was nearly unbeatable magic.

And even when Ma Lu\'s Corpse Puppet guards arrived, Sanrew still managed with ease, dispersing into the wind as a sandy figure whenever he was about to be surrounded and killed by the beasts.

As the number of enemies grew, he exhibited the second phase of his ability.

He completely abandoned his flesh body and maintained the sandy form.

In this form, he could move freely through the gales, and his strength also increased further.

Most importantly, he no longer needed to defend, allowing the Corpse Puppets to tear and gnaw at his sandy form, focusing solely on attacking Ma Lu relentlessly.

With Sanrew\'s insight and combat experience, it was clear that these injured but powerful animals were being controlled by someone.

And that someone was likely the man before him.

Sanrew didn\'t know how Ma Lu did it; the information he had gathered suggested that Ma Lu specialized in a type of electric ability similar to Mai Mai\'s, albeit stronger and with a longer duration.

But this was not the time to worry about such things—Sanrew knew that today only one of them would walk away alive from this sandstorm.

Ma Lu was getting annoyed at this point; he had built up his blessings to the max and had raised an army of Corpse Puppets. He had the absolute advantage in both attributes and numbers, yet despite all his preparation, he couldn\'t deal any damage.

And Sanrew\'s sand body didn\'t even suffer from debuffs, which was somewhat overpowered.

At that moment, someone else approached.

Ma Lu first thought it might be Mai Mai or Sadie, but as the person drew closer, it turned out to be Dormon, the Hunter with a face full of tattoos from the Cyren Hunting Group, carrying He Yueji on his back, who was exhausted from using her Petrifying Gaze.

It looked like they were avoiding a sudden beast horde and had accidentally entered into another battle.

He Yueji was confused by the sight of Sanrew transformed into a sand person and Ma Lu fighting back and forth with him.

Dormon, carrying her, frowned and said, "What\'s the matter with you guys? Why aren\'t you helping fight that Six-armed Ancient Ape?!"

"The folks from Black Horn have gone mad; they\'re taking advantage of the sandstorm to attack us!"

Ma Lu was the first to complain.

He Yueji was even more baffled upon hearing this, "What kind of feud did you guys have before…"

Before she could finish her sentence, Sanrew, the sand person, dispersed in the wind again.

And when he reformed, it was right by Dormon\'s side.

Without a second word, he punched Dormon in the head—Dormon hadn\'t expected Sanrew to attack him and was totally unprepared for the blow.

He was sent flying, and He Yueji also fell to the ground as a result.

Then Sanrew took a small knife from Dormon\'s waist and without hesitation, stabbed it into the latter\'s neck.

???

This move also surprised Ma Lu; it wasn\'t until Dormon was dead that he realized why Sanrew had attacked. Dormon\'s ability to gather sand was likely a perfect counter to Sanrew.

Sanrew must have been worried that Dormon would side with Ma Lu, so he decided to eliminate him first.

The leader of Black Horn was indeed ruthless, daring to make an enemy even of the Diamond Hunting Group.

Of course, Sanrew\'s plan was probably to kill everyone present so that he could later push everything onto the Six-armed Ancient Ape.

After killing Dormon, Sanrew was already charging at He Yueji, who, seeing Dormon dead, became enraged and exclaimed.

"Sanrew, you\'re looking for death! I\'m going to kill you, you damn mongrel!!!"

She cursed as she tried to get up from the ground, but the previous use of telekinesis had taken too much out of her, and now in the midst of a sandstorm, she couldn\'t even manage the simple act of standing.

Sanrew aimed at He Yueji\'s chest and threw a small knife, but the next moment a grey-spotted cheetah leaped forward, taking the hit for He Yueji.

Ma Lu then arrived in the fray, swinging his chef\'s knife and chopping at Sanrew until he once again took on his sandy form.

The two continued to entangle in combat, their movements were swift, and He Yueji, craning her neck, could barely make out two figures flickering in and out of sight amidst the yellow sand.

Ma Lu beheaded Sanrew several times, but the latter quickly reformed a new body each time.

He Yueji had heard before that Sanrew was strong, but she did not expect him to be this strong.

In her eyes, Black Horn was just a part of the Golden Hunting Group, and since Sanrew usually kept a low profile without any notably famous achievements, she hadn\'t paid him much attention.

It wasn\'t until today, witnessing Sanrew\'s true strength, that He Yueji had to admit she had underestimated him.

Considering one-on-one battles, including her brother, there probably wasn\'t a hunter in the Giant Curtain who could guarantee a win over Sanrew.

Of course, what surprised her even more was another person.

Ma Lu, a newcomer who had only recently emerged in the Giant Curtain, could actually go toe-to-toe with Sanrew in real combat, even pressing Sanrew in the fight.

He Yueji felt her brain was running out of capacity to process this.

Damn it, how... how can this bastard be so strong too?! Could it be that he was holding back earlier in the guild hall?

Thinking this, He Yueji\'s breathing quickened, and her cheeks flushed with a hint of red.

The person who was once somewhat unpleasant in appearance suddenly took on a clear and handsome presence in her eyes. Stay connected via mvl

There was no helping it; she was different from most women. She had no interest in a man\'s appearance, talent, or wealth—but this, she couldn\'t resist.

However, Ma Lu had no time to pay attention to the aroused He Yueji. Saving her had only been a matter of convenience; despite her pettiness, she did act with a certain integrity.

Previously, against the six-armed ancient ape, she had not held back at all, straining for so long that she almost burned herself out.

In contrast, both Ma Lu and Sanrew had chosen to hold back their strength secretly.

Against the giant beast, they were obsequiously submissive, but against their own people, they delivered heavy blows!

Previously playing dead without a peep, now they were in a fierce battle as if a thunderbolt had struck the ground, the fight as earth-shattering as a landslide!

He Yueji quickly realized this too, her teeth itching with irritation, but now that she was useless, she couldn\'t do anything about them.

After two more exchanges, Ma Lu delivered a punch that exploded Sanrew\'s head, then suddenly retreated a few steps, creating a distance, and spoke,

"You\'re finished, I\'m going to use my ultimate move."

Sanrew chuckled, "Who are you trying to scare."

After fighting for so long, Ma Lu had understood the depth of Sanrew\'s strength, and similarly, Sanrew was clear about Ma Lu\'s tricks.

Given the current situation, neither could do much about the other; it was just a matter of whether Ma Lu\'s stamina or Sanrew\'s telekinesis would run out first.

However, compared to Ma Lu, Sanrew still had a backup plan; if his telekinesis was about to fail, he could escape early.

So, from the start, he was in an invincible position.

To save his psychic power, Sanrew even briefly returned to his flesh form while talking, knowing that he could revert to sand in an instant at any sign of danger.

But the next moment, he saw a strange green light emerge in Ma Lu\'s eyes.

Then, Sanrew\'s sneer froze on his face, along with his body.

"Fuck!" He Yueji couldn\'t help but swear out loud.

"Isn\'t that my Petrifying Gaze?"

Before she had finished speaking, a horn as thick as a forearm stabbed violently into Sanrew\'s back, piercing through his body and protruding from his chest.

Sanrew\'s eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Turn into sand, come on, you like turning into sand, right? Show me again," Ma Lu said, looking straight into his eyes with a cold smile.
