Chapter 235: Death Before Success

“Let’s get started!”

As Zuo An finished speaking, Wang Chong, who was standing opposite him, opened the black robe wrapped around him with both hands.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

A buzzing sound of flapping wings suddenly appeared in this quiet space.

Zuo An looked carefully and saw a black cloud appearing to Wang Chong's left.

Meow, I only knew that he played with bugs, I didn’t know he could play with so many bugs!

Zuo An was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

"Do you need my help?" The ball flew over, shaking the two tentacles on its head.

"No need, I can do it." Zuo An tightened his grip on the sword and encouraged himself in his heart.

You are a cultivator now, not an ordinary person!

No matter how many bugs there are, they are just ordinary bugs and will die with one sword.

As he mentally prepared himself in this way, Zuo An's heart, which had been panicked by seeing so many insects, gradually calmed down.

As soon as he calmed down, Master Leng Hanbing's words came into his mind.

"Trust the sword in your hand; it is a part of your body. Don't be afraid of anything outside of yourself."

…

"With a sword in hand, all demons are invulnerable!"

Zuo Anxin was calm and his eyes were clear. He looked at the swarm of insects flying towards him, kicked off with his feet, and rushed directly into the swarm.

“Dangdangdang…”

There was a series of metallic clanging sounds, accompanied by the rustling of insect corpses falling.

Wang Chong was shocked. These ghost-headed wasps were a mutant species that appeared after the apocalypse. They were twice the size of ordinary hornets, and the stingers on the back of their tails were as hard and sharp as ordinary fine iron.

In order to tame them, he spent a lot of energy and almost died at their hands. Fortunately, his natal Gu was powerful and he tamed the queen bee.

In the entire survival point, as long as he is not bombarded by hot weapons, he dares to compete with the top ten psychics. Although he is not invincible, he rarely loses.

But this time, he obviously met a tough opponent. This young man who looked harmless actually swung a long sword so tightly that it was impenetrable.

The ghost-headed bees wanted to attack him, but they could only fight against the long sword head-on, which resulted in the death of many ghost-headed bees.

Wang Chong was heartbroken as he watched more and more ghost-headed bees die under his sword, but if he wanted to stay in the House of Marriage in All Worlds, he couldn't just use this little skill.

So Wang Chong, who originally only wanted to use the ghost-headed bee to deal with Zuo An, took out a few bamboo tubes from under his black robe and pulled open the lids.

The ball narrowed its eyes, but it did not try to stop him. Since Zuo An said that he would handle the matter himself, it would give him the greatest freedom until he asked for help.

Zuo An waved his sword and knocked down the ghost-headed bees that were attacking him. He had not had any real combat experience since he started learning swordsmanship from Leng Hanbing.

This actual combat was his first time. With the help of his exquisite swordsmanship, he blocked the ghost-headed bee. He was secretly delighted in his heart, thinking that if he continued like this, he could win.

But at this moment, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle, and he almost couldn't hold the long sword in his hand. The dense sword net instantly had a gap, and the ghost-headed bee took the opportunity to rush in.

"Ball, help!" Zuo An shouted subconsciously, and a silver light curtain instantly wrapped Zuo An up.

The bugs that crawled into his pants were also completely repelled by the light curtain.

"Ding ding ding..." The sharp stinger of the ghost bee pierced the light curtain, making a crisp sound, but it could not penetrate at all.

Upon seeing this, Wang Chong blew a bamboo whistle, and all the living ghost-headed bees, spiders, centipedes, and other miscellaneous insects followed the sound and rushed back to Wang Chong.

"Bring the antidote here." The ball transformed into a human form and hugged Zuo An who was falling down.

Wang Chong rushed over and poured out a black pill from a small box and handed it to Yuanqiu.

Yuanqiu picked up the pill and stuffed it into Zuo An's mouth, then laid him flat on the ground and tore open his trouser legs.

I saw that his left ankle was swollen and the black wound was obviously caused by insect bites.

"We have to get rid of the poisonous blood." Wang Chong said as he pulled out a sharp dagger from his body.

"Get out of the way." With a wave of his spherical hand, Wang Chong was pushed back several meters by an unknown force.

Chen Gang, who had been watching from the side, wanted to come over, but saw that the blue ball turned into a person and pushed Wang Chong away. He stopped immediately and could only stretch his neck to watch.

The ball was suspended in the air with one hand and placed on Zuo An's ankle. With a slight upward force, the blood, which had been stained black by the poison, flew out of the wound.

After a few seconds, the black blood turned into red blood, and Zuo An's originally black face gradually became red.

"Zuo An, Zuo An." The ball patted Zuo An's cheek.

Zuo An slowly opened his eyes and met Yuanqiu's concerned blood-red eyes. He sniffed and said something self-deprecatingly.

"Does this count as dying before achieving success?"

"You have never fought before. It's very good that you can fight like this." Yuanqiu comforted Zuo An and helped him sit up.

"Well, it turns out that talk on paper and reality are two completely different things." Zuo An sighed and accepted his failure.

He had forgotten that battles were not always just head-on combats. All ways to win could be used in battle. It was not shameful for him to lose to an experienced psychic.

Seeing Zuo An's dejected look, Yuanqiu reached out and touched his cheek, "If you really want to learn the fighting methods of the immortal world, I will teach you tonight."

The dejection on Zuo An's face quickly turned into anticipation, "Okay, it's settled."

After feeling the pain in his foot almost subside, Zuo An stood up while holding onto the ball. He looked at Wang Chong across from him.

"You win, you can stay."

Wang Chong, who originally thought that he would be rejected by the Wanjie Marriage House because he had hurt Zuo An, did not expect that Zuo An would be so true to his promise.

"Let's go, let's go out." Zuo An turned around and gave the ball a faint smile.

The sphere snapped its fingers, and the entire space shattered, but the people inside appeared in the House of Marriage in All Worlds intact.

"Ouch, ouch, it still hurts a little." Zuo An tried to take two steps. He couldn't exert too much force on his injured ankle.

"Sorry." Wang Chong walked over and apologized to Zuo An.

"It's okay." Zuo An sat on the sofa with the help of Yuanqiu.

"Fighting is bound to result in injuries, it's normal. I even killed so many of your wasps, so it's even now."

Zuo An's open-mindedness brought a bit of sunshine to Wang Chong's gloomy face.

"They're called ghost-headed bees."

"Oh, ghost-headed bees." Zuo An opened his eyes wide with curiosity. "Can you let me take another look at those little bugs of yours?"

"Aren't you afraid?" Wang Chong tilted his head.

"I'm not afraid as long as they don't bite me. You won't let them bite me again, right?" Zuo An acted frightened.

"Of course not." He didn't want to die here. Didn't he see the man with white hair and red eyes staring at him fiercely?

The danger posed by this man made the little cuties he kept in captivity tremble in fear, and even his natal Gu was warning of danger.

This shows how terrifying this man is.

Obviously, Zuo An is just a cover for this House of Marriage between All Worlds, and this man with white hair and red eyes is the real owner of this House of Marriage between All Worlds.
