As for why Li Xuanzu fought so fiercely with Ouyang Ningxue, even drawing blood, the aforementioned test of fourth-tier strength was one aspect.
The system was right after all. Li Xuanzu deliberately injured himself to test whether Liang Lezhan could resist attacking him.
Whether he genuinely didn't have this idea or simply didn't dare, as long as he didn't make a move this time, Li Xuanzu didn't need to worry about the upcoming battle against the fourth-tier zombies.
Moreover, he still had some energy left to spare.
Although it appears that there are multiple penetrating wounds in the body and that the energy has been depleted, these are just appearances.
Li Xuanzu's divine sense could envelop energy, concealing it and creating the illusion that he was already weakened.
Although Li Xuanzu knew that Qian Li's Fu Yu was very powerful, he still preferred the feeling of having everything under his control.
As long as Liang Lezhan dares to make a move, Li Xuanzu will suppress him instantly, trick him into revealing the contents of his storage space, and then kill him directly.
Fortunately, the system played a crucial role in this.
Li Xuanzu withdrew his probing divine sense, while Fu Yu supported Ouyang Ningxue on one shoulder and lifted Li Xuanzu on his other arm, carrying him back to the truck for treatment.
"Li Xuanzu, are you out of your mind? You two only sparred once, you're not mortal enemies, why are you fighting like this?" Fu Yu felt the wounds on Li Xuanzu's body, afraid of hurting him.
"Now look what's happened, your grandma has to carry you back." Then, Fu Yu put on a sly expression, "Hehe, you've been carrying me every day, now it's my turn."
Then, Li Xuanzu struggled for a moment and jumped off her shoulder.
Fu Yu didn't dare to use any force, so Li Xuanzu quickly broke free from her grasp.
"Is that so? You're still holding a grudge about me carrying you? Sister Fu Yu~" Li Xuanzu looked at Fu Yu with a smile, and the atmosphere became a little tense.
"Uh...you...you mustn't do anything rash, I have wounded people on my hands." Fu Yu was startled and quickly used Ouyang Ningxue beside her as a shield.
"Who cares? Ouyang Ningxue just exhausted herself from excessive energy consumption. She wasn't injured at all." Li Xuanzu automatically ignored Ouyang Ningxue's swollen face.
"Honestly, she's such a pretty girl, and you still slap her in the face." Fu Yu muttered, quickly leaving Li Xuanzu, afraid that he would hear her.
Li Xuanzu was speechless. Considering that they would be traveling together in the future, he did not strike Ouyang Ningxue's lower abdomen, heart, or kidneys, mainly because Ouyang Ningxue was a woman and these areas were sensitive.
However, it doesn't have much of an effect on the shoulders, hands, and feet.
So it seems that slapping someone in the face is the most polite thing to do.
Li Xuanzu's victory over Ouyang Ningxue may seem like a narrow one, but it was actually a crushing defeat.
Nearly a thousand steel bars rained down on Li Xuanzu, stirring up clouds of dust. The full extent of the damage was only revealed after the dust settled.
Li Xuanzu deliberately placed those two steel bars there, as a way of saving face for Ouyang Ningxue and not letting her lose too badly.
"Compared to the third tier, the combat power of the fourth tier is only slightly increased in overall strength. It's not a qualitative change like the transition from the second to the third tier, so there's no need to worry." Li Xuanzu thought to himself, looking at Fu Yu's fleeing figure with amusement.
"Oh, you're quite honest." Li Xuanzu sensed that Liang Lezhan was looking at him, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Liang Lezhan.
