Chapter 242: The Pill [
Gong Xichou said coldly, "Get out of here and find someone else!"
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because Zhao Feng almost exploded with anger on the spot after he did.
Having dominated the martial arts world for so many years and lost countless lives, no one has ever dared to speak to him like that!
He roared, his arm muscles bulging dramatically as he concentrated all his strength into his other iron mace. But even at such close range, Gong Xichou effortlessly caught it with just two fingers.
He said something even more infuriating.
"Mere ants, utterly vulnerable!"
With that, he flicked his finger.
Zhao Feng was struck head-on by a small mountain, flying backward without any resistance, spitting out mouthfuls of blood in mid-air.
Alliance Leader Wu Xian could no longer sit still.
The Allied forces won the first duel, but their rising morale was forcibly suppressed by Gong Xichou's actions.
A biting wind howled, and the Allied forces remained completely silent. They could hardly believe they were witnessing this scene with their own eyes…
Is this...is this even human?
For a moment, the same guess arose in everyone's mind.
Gong Xichou is not a human being!
This guy is a complete monster!
At that moment, someone muttered something.
"Even if the Twentieth-Rank Marquis Che came, he wouldn't be this arrogant..." His words received no response from anyone on the surface, but whether they agreed in their hearts, only they and Gu Chi probably knew. Among the crowd, only one person's thoughts were different.
Needless to say, this person must be Shen Lang.
Others feared him like a tiger, but Shen Tang was so envious that she drooled, wishing she could remove Gong Xi Chou's head and replace it with her own.
Gu Chi: "..."
Shen Lang, can't you draw something normal?
Zhao Feng, sent flying by a flick of the finger, lay helplessly on the ground, his hands aching so badly he could barely grip his bronze maces. His eyes widened in horror as he stared at the valiant martial artist standing in the same spot, coughing up mouthfuls of blood. He never dreamed he would suffer such a crushing defeat…
He was a renowned martial artist with a long history of bravery.
He fought countless battles and killed countless people throughout his life.
He was not afraid of death, but he could not accept that his last battle before his death would end like this—facing a young man who was younger than him and less experienced, he couldn't even last three moves.
No, that doesn't even qualify as a single move!
They had already suffered a crushing defeat!
What made him even more desperate was that the other party had never seen him, which meant that Gong Xichou did not regard him as an opponent at all!
This thought was almost a catastrophe for Zhao Feng, who was exhausted both physically and mentally at this moment! Martial arts, beliefs, pride... were completely destroyed by Gong Xichou's flick of the finger!
Not a trace was left!
Zhao Feng clutched his chest, his vision blurring.
With each cough, a sharp, tearing pain shot through my chest.
He didn't need to touch it to know that he had more than three broken ribs. He was only saved from internal organ damage because of his martial arts protection; otherwise, he would have died long ago.
Gongxi Chou stood at the front of the battle.
With him standing there, no one dared to step forward and fight!
After three breaths, he let out a cold sneer, his voice carried clearly to the ears of tens of thousands of allied troops by the cold wind and martial energy.
"Incompetent fools!"
"mob!"
"Get out of here!"
As the last word "get lost" was uttered, a gust of wind, formed from pure killing intent, swept towards the Allied forces. The wind whipped up sand and dust, almost blinding people.
The murderous aura made the weaker soldiers tremble.
This...this...this is not human!
Everyone was absolutely certain of this.
Seeing that no one came forward to fight, Gong Xichou sneered disdainfully. His cold gaze swept across the crowd, and his sharp eyes spotted a banner with the character "Wu". He then raised his hand and conjured a longbow with snake patterns. He easily drew the bowstring, and his martial energy condensed at his fingertips, transforming into a dark green arrow.
It seems as if he didn't even aim, the bowstring was fully drawn.
With a buzzing sound.
He released his fingers, and the arrow shot out of the bowstring, streaking across the sky like a shooting star chasing the moon, drawing a brilliant, deep, and mysterious dark green line.
Although this attack was performed in full view of everyone, but—
They were still reeling from the terror brought on by Gong Xichou's murderous aura, and for a moment, no one reacted. No, some did react. Zhao Feng, absorbed in his own emotions, was the least affected by Gong Xichou's imposing presence.
The moment he came to his senses, he saw Gongxi Chou draw his bow and aim in the direction he was aiming, and he was utterly horrified!
This direction—
This is bad!
Zhao Feng's eyes widened in fury: "How dare you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his weakened martial energy surged back into his body. He slammed his palm on the ground, and spiderweb-like cracks, two or three zhang in diameter, appeared around him. Using the force, he leaped into the air, pushed off with his feet, and charged towards the path of the arrow.
With a loud bang!
As the explosion rang out, the shockwave spread in all directions.
Alliance Leader Wu Xian naturally noticed this as well, but before he could react, Zhao Feng had already shielded him with his body: "Righteousness—"
Gong Xichou stared at the chaotic, exploding mass of gas.
His handsome brows furrowed again.
The allied forces dared not look at Zhao Feng's dead body.
He must have been blasted into a bloody mess by the arrow formed from martial energy, leaving no trace of his body! On the other side, Chao Lian closed his eyes.
From his angle, he could see clearly that Gong Xichou's arrow was aimed at the alliance leader Wu Xian, while Zhao Feng's actions were solely to save his lord!
What a loyal and righteous hero!
It's just a pity—
Chao Lian sighed inwardly.
Just then, he heard someone exclaim in surprise beside him.
He instinctively opened his eyes and saw an unbelievable scene—he recognized all the main characters in this scene. One was Zhao Feng, whom everyone had predicted would be blown to pieces, and the other was Shen Tang, the Lord Shen, who had drunkenly caused a scene during the alliance that day!
Of course, the most astonishing moment was when Lord Shen grabbed Zhao Feng's tattered armor collar with one hand and cleaved Gong Xi Chou's unstoppable arrow with the other. The massive explosion only caused Lord Shen's clothes to flutter in the strong wind.
Gong Xichou was almost at his wit's end.
He sighed, "Why is it you again?"
Not only Gong Xichou sighed like this, but Qi Shan, looking at the motorcycle beside him that had lost its owner, also felt the urge to look up to the sky and sigh—
Why is it him or her again?
Looking at Qi Shan, who looked utterly hopeless, and Gu Chi, who was calmly watching the live stream comments, Kang Shi was completely out of it.
Oh, I forgot to mention, Shen Tang left Chu Yao and Gong Shuwu to guard the rear, along with the injured Zhai Le and Zhai Huan brothers, making for a fairly formidable force. Even if they were attacked by the enemy, they could take care of each other.
Chu Yao had no objection to this arrangement, but Kang Shi had one thing he didn't understand—before the expedition, Chu Yao took out two bottles of medicine from his sleeve and gave them to Kang Shi, earnestly instructing him to keep them safe.
Keep this safe; Ji Shou will need it.
Kang Shi opened the stopper and sniffed it: [A pill?]
Chu Yao nodded: [Mm.]
Kang Shi was not afraid that Chu Yao would harm him.
What are you eating?
The young man with gray hair chuckled: [Heart ailment.]
Kang Shi looked at the pills and then at Chu Yao.
Completely confused.
He was puzzled: "I have no heart ailment."
Even a scholar with a refined mind cannot suffer from a mental illness.
Because they all possess incredibly resilient, invulnerable hearts. Because intrigue and scheming, it's all about the thrill of the chase.
