Chapter 242 Covering the Rear



Most of the seven figures were covered in wounds, their clothes soaked with blood.

Only after truly fighting Zhou Gousheng did one realize how difficult he was to deal with.

They posed absolutely no threat to him from the very beginning.

In just the first round of confrontation, they were completely defeated and gained no advantage whatsoever.

Yang Ling clutched her arm, blood flowing uncontrollably from the arrow Zhou Gousheng had fired back.

She was just an ordinary person after all. Although her opponent didn't use a bow, the sheer strength of his arm was enough to make her unable to dodge the arrows he threw back.

It was lucky that he was only wounded in the arm; otherwise, he would probably have been maimed by the exploding arrow.

Holding the glass lamp, Zhou Xiaoyun was equally anxious upon seeing this scene.

Although she had anticipated that those people might not be a match for Zhou Gousheng, she did not expect to be defeated so quickly.

Xiao Xuanchen's physical body beside her remained dazed and stood motionless. If she could have left him, she would have taken advantage of this opportunity to run away long ago.

"Xuan Chen, are we really not going to be able to leave the Zhou family today?"

Zhou Xiaoyun was filled with sorrow. Zhou Gousheng was truly a source of despair for her, like an insurmountable mountain.

Although she survived several attacks by his hand, his strength was still etched into her heart.

It was as if no matter what happened, the other party could rely on their strength and overwhelming power to render everything ineffective, which made her feel most powerless.

This left her with absolutely no hope of defeating Zhou Gousheng.

Biting her lip, she suddenly regretted calling Bai Xiaoyue at the last minute.

She knew the other person's personality all too well; once she knew it was her who had made the call, she would definitely come to her rescue.

However, this time she hoped that she would not come.

Zhou Gousheng was surrounded by blood energy, which transformed into runes on his body, making his physical body strong and fearless of external objects.

His naked body, with bulging muscles, displayed unparalleled explosive power.

Such a person is an opponent that is impossible to contend with and that inspires despair in those who oppose him.

"Sister Ling, you should go now. I'll buy you some time."

Among the remaining seven, a short figure carrying an alloy battle sword stepped out from the crowd.

He was in the best condition among the seven, and his injuries were not too noticeable to the naked eye.

"Given the current situation, there's no way to save the boss. Run as many as you can."

The short man's words silenced the remaining six people.

Because the other party was right, in the current situation, let alone saving Xiao Xuanchen, they themselves are in dire need of protection.

Yang Ling wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't.

But at the same time, another person followed and came out.

He was a man with dyed green hair.

"One more person will delay him a little longer, but don't expect me to delay him for too long."

Even at this point, Greenhead still had the mind to joke, but no one present could laugh.

Brothers in arms are willing to risk their lives to give them a chance to live; no one would be in that situation.

Yang Ling watched their retreating figures, but she didn't say anything at that moment, such nonsense as "if we're going to die, we'll die together."

Having experienced so many battles, she wouldn't do anything foolish at this time.

None of the five showed signs of cerebral palsy, and they watched as San'er and Lü Tou walked towards Zhou Gousheng.

After taking one last deep look at the two figures' backs, the five of them dispersed and went their separate ways.

In this situation, if you're going to escape, it's safest to split up and go separately.

Even if Zhou Gousheng kills the two men covering the rear, he can still pursue two more routes at most.

But the remaining three groups managed to escape successfully.

Zhou Gousheng witnessed the conversation among the seven people and the directions they fled in.

But he didn't stop them. There were only a few cats and dogs around, and he enjoyed the feeling of toying with the weak.

He could have killed all seven of them instantly if he wanted to, but he didn't.

Killing is simple, but the key is to kill in a way that is enjoyable; he does not commit murder.

He doesn't like killing for the sake of killing, so he finds some amusement in killing.

For example, seeing the clowns' desperate expressions makes him happy.

Looking at the two men who had stayed behind to cover his retreat, walking towards him, he knew that they might be quite capable, but they were ultimately just ordinary people.

Such ants can be killed in less than a second!

When the two were halfway there, their speed suddenly increased, and they attacked Zhou Gousheng from both sides, intending to engage in close combat with the Xuan-level expert.

Actually, it's not that they enjoy hand-to-hand combat, but rather that they have no other options and have exhausted all other means.

When they dealt with Zhou Gousheng before, they had already used up all their equipment and ammunition, and they were all out of ammunition.

Now all that remains are the long knife in the short man's hand and the dagger in the green-headed man's hand.

Two sharp blades, gleaming with cold light, attacked Zhou Gousheng from the left and right. If these two were ordinary people, they would be considered experts capable of taking on ten opponents at once.

However, when facing cultivators whose life levels are completely different, it seems somewhat ridiculous.

In Zhou Gousheng's eyes, the two men's movements seemed to have slowed down dozens of times; he could even see the fine pores on their faces.

His powerful optic nerves allowed him to clearly see the trembling of their hair and the shaking of their clothes.

In this situation, how could either of them possibly win?

And indeed, when the long sword and dagger, with a sharp whistling sound, were about to strike Zhou Gousheng directly, they missed their mark.

The attack missed its mark, and both men tensed up. Then, as if by reflex, their powerful instincts caused them to turn around and attack from behind.

In fact, this behavior makes no sense, because Zhou Gousheng should not be able to exist in two places at the same time.

Even if he is a Xuan-level expert.

But as the two attacked from behind, they simultaneously and unmistakably sensed Zhou Gousheng's presence through the weapons in their hands.

Existing in two places simultaneously, Zhou Gousheng raised two fingers to restrain the two men's soldiers.

The two were shocked by this strange scene, and the fact that their weapons were being controlled made them forget about it.

"How is this possible!"

The two were incredulous. It wasn't that they were unfamiliar with cultivators, but this was the first time they had ever seen something so illogical.

The two Zhou Gousheng smiled and then said softly, "What's impossible about that?"

As he spoke, one of Zhou Gousheng instantly turned into blood energy and dissipated. When the blood energy reappeared, another Zhou Gousheng appeared.

"They're just mortals after all, how boring. You guys are more important than your boss..."

Not even close.

Both Zhou Gousheng shook their heads in unison, and then said at the same time.

As soon as he finished speaking, the weapons in their hands shattered instantly.

Fragments of weapons shot out, instantly leaving countless bloody holes in the two men's bodies.

Strangely, although the two of them suddenly had many injuries and looked like bloodied people, none of them were fatal.

At least, Zhou Gousheng could tell at a glance that none of the two men's injuries were truly fatal.
