"Six geniuses from the Kingdom of Night! Each one is at the seventh level of the Body Refining Realm, with excellent skills, great equipment, and full of killing intent! If it were a one-on-one duel, I could easily slay any of them. In a two-on-one, I could barely win but would need to expend some effort. In a three-on-one, I'd be at a disadvantage. Against all six, there's simply no chance of victory!"
Zhuang Zhou muttered to himself. As someone with considerable combat experience, he didn't need to fight to know the outcome of a head-on clash with the geniuses from the Kingdom of Night. Avoiding harm and seeking advantage was the wisest choice.
"I originally planned to prepare more thoroughly before exploring this canyon, but with enemies at my doorstep, I can only take it one step at a time!"
Zhuang Zhou sighed softly; man proposes, but heaven disposes!
Suddenly pursued by six greedy hunters from the Kingdom of Night, he could only flee for the moment!
"Zhuang Zhou, do you think you can escape like this? Haha, I tell you, with the six of us working together, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, it will be useless!"
Five Bat suddenly flapped his wings and soared into the air.
In the canyon, the path was rugged, with jagged rocks obscuring the view.
Five Bat took to the skies, hoping to ignore the terrain's obstacles and capture Zhuang Zhou in one fell swoop.
Just as he ascended, a purple lightning bolt struck from the sky, hitting Five Bat directly and turning him into a charred corpse, which fell to the ground, blackened and still smoking!
"Fool! This canyon is a place of great danger! Using magic and powers here requires extreme caution! Did you think having Black Bat Wings meant you could do as you please? How naive!"
Zhuang Zhou laughed heartily.
In battle, timing, terrain, and harmony are crucial.
Personal strength is insignificant in the face of nature's power!
Only by leveraging the situation can one achieve victory beyond human capability!
The other five "bats" saw this and their faces darkened, their killing intent intensified!
"Bold Zhuang Zhou, how dare you use this treacherous place to harm us! Five Bat is dead! Your crimes are heinous and unforgivable! We will kill you and use your head to honor our fallen brother. After the assessment, we will inform the emissaries of our Kingdom of Night's enemies to negotiate, demanding the Grand Yong Dynasty hand over your family for execution, eradicating your clan to cleanse your sins!"
Big Bat glared viciously at Zhuang Zhou.
His thoughts were malicious, not only wanting to kill Zhuang Zhou but also to bury his family with him!
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Zhou's heart surged with boundless fury.
These people besieged and threatened him, which he could tolerate, but targeting his family was unacceptable!
What was the purpose of his rebirth?
To defy fate!
And the first step in defying fate was to protect his family from disaster!
"If you want to kill, come on! I'm right here in front of you! Don't just talk, turn your words into action!"
Zhuang Zhou said to the remaining five "bats."
"How dare you provoke us? Don't think that just because we can't fly, we can't kill you!"
Four Bat suddenly shot forward, as fast as a black lightning bolt.
He left only an afterimage, and in the next second, his figure appeared in front of Zhuang Zhou.
With a swish, a silver longsword was drawn.
Like a viper striking, it was deadly!
Zhuang Zhou sidestepped to avoid it.
Into the micro!
Then, he threw a punch, the Gloves of Myriad Phases in his hand glowing, enhancing his power!
Four Bat seemed to see an ancient mammoth approaching, a giant beast trampling!
Startled, Four Bat retreated to avoid the punch.
However, from Zhuang Zhou's sleeve, a black arrow shot out with a "whoosh."
The entire sequence of actions was as smooth as flowing water, natural and unforced.
Four Bat avoided the first strike but couldn't dodge the second. The black crossbow bolt pierced his throat in an instant, the poison taking effect.
Four Bat gurgled blood.
His limbs twitched, and he died shortly after!
A genius at the seventh level of the Body Refining Realm fell, without even touching a hair on Zhuang Zhou.
"Ah! Zhuang Zhou, you insidious villain, first using the terrain to kill, then attacking with hidden weapons. Do you think someone like you deserves to be a warrior? You're a disgrace to warriors, a shame to humanity!"
Big Bat roared furiously.
Originally, they came as six brothers, but in a short time, two were killed!
His heart burned with rage, wishing to flay Zhuang Zhou alive. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
Zhuang Zhou smiled faintly.
"Is this the so-called genius of the Kingdom of Night? Arrogant and conceited, I don't see much to them! When you six teamed up to kill me, why didn't you call it despicable? When you, as seventh-level Body Refining Realm experts, bullied me, a mere fifth-level weakling, why didn't you call it bullying? I use terrain and hidden weapons to kill, and I'm the disgrace? The shame? This is classic double standards, utterly hopeless!"
Zhuang Zhou shook his head, calm and composed.
His eloquence wasn't just useful when serving the Empress; his verbal prowess was also unmatched.
"Ah! Pfft!"
Big Bat, overwhelmed with anger, suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood, clutching his chest with one hand and pointing at Zhuang Zhou with the other: "I've never seen someone so shameless!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Seeing that a few words had made Big Bat spit blood, Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but feel pleased.
Words could wound, and perhaps if he added more fuel, he could anger Big Bat to death!
Big Bat's expression changed repeatedly.
He took several deep breaths to gradually calm down.
"Attack, attack! I refuse to believe that with the four of us, we can't kill this Zhuang Zhou!"
Big Bat shouted angrily.
Zhuang Zhou turned and delved deeper into the canyon.
The four "bats" pursued closely, only for Zhuang Zhou to suddenly throw a Mist Bomb of the Heavenly Pool, creating a thick white fog that obscured their vision and blocked their path!
The four bats stopped, covering their mouths and noses.
Damn it, who was the real pursuer here?
Why were Zhuang Zhou's hidden weapon skills more professional than theirs!
Moments later, as the fog gradually dissipated, the four "bats" resumed their pursuit.
Behind the canyon, Zhuang Zhou's pace slowed.
Although he had some knowledge of feng shui formations in his past life, it was only superficial. In the earlier areas, he could rely on his experience to navigate.
But as he ventured deeper into the canyon, Zhuang Zhou became uncertain.
The terrain was complex, with several different landscapes intertwined. Even a formation master would need to ponder carefully!
At that moment, a blood-red light descended from the sky, coincidentally landing right in front of Zhuang Zhou. As the light dissipated, a Blood-colored Ganoderma emerged from the ground, incredibly precious!
