Eric Bennett's strength had already reached the level of fifth-grade, where divine power arises naturally. In the Great Luo Kingdom, that made him a second-rate expert. As he threw this punch, a fierce gust of wind followed.

Having already prepared himself, Henry Carter did not meet the blow head-on. With a flicker of movement, he swiftly dodged aside, causing Eric Bennett's punch to miss completely!

And in that instant when Eric Bennett's old strength was spent and new strength had yet to form, Henry Carter's body, like a python, swiftly twisted forward, both fists smashing hard toward Eric Bennett's face.

In the military, the art of killing emphasizes steadiness, precision, and ruthlessness. As an outstanding figure in the army, Henry Carter had mastered all three. Compared to him, although Eric Bennett's cultivation was much higher, it was obvious that his real combat experience was far inferior to Henry Carter's. Moreover, Eric Bennett had never expected Henry Carter to dare fight back, and in his shock, he took both of Henry Carter's fists squarely to the face.

"Bang!" Blood trickled from the corner of Eric Bennett's mouth, and along with the flowing blood, two large molars were spat out.

"Henry Carter, I'm going to kill you!" Eric Bennett roared, swinging his fist at Henry Carter once more.

Chapter Twelve: Divine Power Arises Naturally

Upon reaching the fifth-grade realm, a cultivator's divine power arises on its own. Someone who originally had just over three hundred jin of strength could now lift a thousand-jin cauldron with ease. And generally, those who could reach the fifth grade would have matching techniques and skills.

However, in this valley of Bloodfiend, although Eric Bennett was also fifth-grade, he had no matching techniques at all. His punches were just a few basic moves, while even the Blood Battle Saber Technique Henry Carter learned in the army was several times stronger than his.

"Bang, bang, bang!" With palms infused with congealed blood true force, Henry Carter struck the same spot on Eric Bennett's body three times in quick succession, each blow harder and faster than the last. After these three strikes, Henry Carter slipped behind Eric Bennett like a ghost.

"Ahhh! Henry Carter, I'm going to tear you apart!" Eric Bennett roared like a mad tiger, charging at Henry Carter. But though he charged fast, he couldn't even touch the hem of Henry Carter's clothes.

Seizing the instant Eric Bennett turned, Henry Carter's foot, from a strange angle, kicked Eric Bennett's chest again—right where the three palm strikes had just landed.

In the blink of an eye, the same spot was hit four times in a row. Even though his body was twice as tough as an ordinary person's thanks to his self-generated divine power, Eric Bennett's face flushed bright red, and a trickle of blood ran from the corner of his mouth. His body trembled on the ground.

That tremble gave Henry Carter the perfect opportunity. As he withdrew his foot, he kicked four more times in quick succession, each time targeting the same spot on Eric Bennett's chest and abdomen.

If Henry Carter's cultivation matched Eric Bennett's, defeating him would be as easy as slicing vegetables. But right now, Eric Bennett was one grade higher than Henry Carter, so to win, Henry Carter had to expend a great deal of effort.

Challenging someone of a higher grade is always difficult. Fortunately, though Eric Bennett's cultivation was decent, his fighting skills and experience were far inferior to Henry Carter's.

During the fight, Henry Carter had already devised his strategy: attack only one point, and the deadliest one at that. That single point was enough to leave Eric Bennett with no hope of survival!

"Roarrr!" Humiliated and furious, Eric Bennett howled loudly. But now, his roars couldn't even scare a mouse. The more frenzied he became, the happier Henry Carter was. A brainless opponent is no different from a dumb bear.

Seeing Eric Bennett's staggering body, Henry Carter's eyes lit up. He thought to himself: This is my chance! Instantly circulating his true force, his hands turned blood-red. Seizing the moment Eric Bennett turned, his palms struck fiercely at Eric Bennett's body.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

It was like striking leather. Henry Carter's blood-red palms pounded the same spot on Eric Bennett's body again and again.

From start to finish, it was just the blink of an eye, but Henry Carter had already struck that spot dozens of times. Even though Eric Bennett's body was twice as tough as an ordinary person's and his divine power arose naturally, he couldn't withstand such repeated pounding from Henry Carter.

"Boom!" Unable to keep his footing, Eric Bennett collapsed to the ground. Waves of searing pain surged from deep within him. Under this intense agony, Eric Bennett wanted to cry out, but he didn't even have the strength.

A pair of black boots appeared before his eyes again. The once-fierce Eric Bennett now had only terror in his gaze. He looked at Henry Carter in fear, and his limp body involuntarily scooted backward.

"Henry Carter... what are you trying to do? You... don't do anything crazy!"
