The villa in the mountains was destroyed, seemingly releasing some shackle that bound the undead creature. Its thigh tendons were taut, stretched to the limit, and even oozed blood, its figure launching forward like an arrow from a bow, so fast that it left only a streak of afterimages in the eyes of ordinary people like Xiao Feng and others.

The remaining claw on the undead creature’s arm slashed through the air, reaching for Bai Zhi, who stood at the forefront, guarding Xiao Feng’s family. There was no time to draw a gun and fire at this distance. Bai Zhi flipped her palm, revealing... a hilt with no blade.

She loosened her grip with five fingers, twisting the naturally falling hilt about the back of her thumb like spinning a pen, causing the concealed blade to slide out under gravity, transforming into a full, arm-length weapon.

This weapon originated from the action game series "Dishonor" and was essentially a tactical folding knife, specially designed for stealth and assassination. Normally it appeared as a mere hilt. With a twist or a forceful swing, the blade would slide out, ready to inflict damage on an enemy.

Bai Zhi gripped the knife with her right hand, her left hand supporting the blade, using both hands to counter the undead creature’s single hand. However, its brute strength far exceeded expectations, effortlessly overpowering her, pressing the spring-loaded knife, along with the palm of her left hand, forcefully onto her shoulder.

Forced down to one knee, her four left-hand fingers were severed as if caught in the mechanical blades of a factory chopping machine.

As the saying goes, each finger is connected to the heart. The severe pain from the severed fingers contorted Bai Zhi’s face grotesquely.

Driven to desperation, she twisted her knife-holding hand, trapping the undead creature’s claw with the spring-loaded knife, while her white hair draped behind her came to life, surging forward to bind the undead creature’s arm, preventing it from breaking free.

Opportunity was fleeting. She drew her knife and slashed at the undead creature’s neck, the blade charged with Sword Qi, slicing through tendons as if cutting bamboo, until it hit the neck vertebrae with a dull "clang" sound.

Struck by a heavy blow, the undead creature stabilized itself on its right foot, while its left foot, like a cannonball, side-kicked towards Yuan Zhixia’s abdomen. She decisively let go of her sword and activated a light-body skill, her figure wafting back like a drifting leaf, while triggering the "Retract and Release Gloves" special effect.

First, releasing a repelling force, her longsword grazed the undead creature’s spine, spinning out more than twenty meters. Then, exerting maximum attraction, the longsword flipped direction and sped back, piercing into the undead creature’s lower leg tendon and driving into the concrete floor.
