Instant death
A spurt of blood gushed out, Crow cried out mournfully.
"Snap!"
Taking advantage of the Crow's pitiful cries, Su Zhan stomped down with his right foot.
"Bang!"
The Crow Lord's body shuddered, his bones shattered, blood spurted out, and he died instantly.
Even in its dying moments, it stared at Su Zhan in disbelief.
I never imagined that I would be killed by a martial arts cripple.
"Waaah--"
Almost at the same time that the Crow Lord died, a dozen gray bats sprang out of the In the Woods.
They swooped down towards the Crow Lord while simultaneously attacking Su Zhan with ferocious intent.
Su Zhan's eyelids twitched, and with a swift swing of his sword, he cut down several bats.
But there were too many remaining rebels, and he was quickly surrounded again.
"Boom--"
Just as Su Zhan was about to turn and run away, he heard a loud bang, followed by the entire island shaking violently.
He turned his head and looked over, and saw flames rising and buildings collapsing.
A massive black image, like a cannonball, rose into the air from the raging flames.
It closed in at incredible speed and then threw a punch!
This punch was powerful and imposing, demonstrating the opponent's extraordinary martial arts skills.
"Depend on!"
Faced with the thunderous attack, Su Zhan had no time to say anything, gripping his Military Saber tightly to meet the enemy with all his might.
"Call!"
A violent surge of energy erupted from Su Zhan's body.
He slashed with his sword, creating a burst of Blade Energy.
"When!"
Fist and Military Saber clashed.
A dazzling spark flashed, followed by a surge of air.
The Crow retreated three or four meters before stopping and regaining its balance, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of its beak.
"Huh--"
Su Zhan also stumbled backward, taking seven or eight steps before barely managing to stand, his tiger's mouth split open and a trickle of blood seeping out.
"You're also at the Earth Realm Peak?"
The Crow stared at Su Zhan and hissed, "I understand now, this is why you dared to come looking for revenge!"
It finally understood where Su Zhan got his courage.
It turns out he was relying on his Earth Realm Peak cultivation.
Su Zhan coughed and said, "You do have some knowledge."
"Unfortunately, you have to stay tonight!"
After regaining its composure, the Crow's murderous intent intensified. "No matter your background, offending me means certain death."
"I have something else to tell you!"
"Although I am only at the Heaven Realm Early Stage, I have already reached the Earth Realm Bottleneck!"
You can't kill me!
It chuckled maliciously, "So you only have one choice: kneel down, kowtow, and beg for mercy, and I'll give you a sliver of hope!"
"Really? Then let's give it a try!"
Su Zhan slowly walked over, carrying a blood-dripping knife. "But I hope you can hold out a little longer."
"Court death!"
The Crow Lord roared in fury, "Die!"
It hissed sharply, leaped forward, and attacked again.
It was incredibly fast, reaching Su Zhan in an instant and pecking him on the head.
Su Zhan ducked low, narrowly avoiding the attack, and then drew his gun with a backhand motion.
"When!"
The trigger was pulled, and a bullet shot out.
"A trivial skill."
The Crow Lord was prepared; he dodged to the side and then stretched out his left claw to grab the Bullet Head.
It trembled slightly.
With a snap, the Bullet Head fell into its claws, and it was then violently thrown into the grass.
"Bang!"
Just then, the Crow Lord sensed danger and instinctively let out a roar before retreating.
No sooner had he retreated than Su Zhan unleashed another powerful shot.
This time, the target is the Crow Lord's left ear.
The Crow's pupils contracted sharply, and it nimbly moved to the side. The bullet grazed its ear, instantly severing an earring.
It was in excruciating pain and furious, wanting to retaliate, but Su Zhan was holding it captive and it couldn't break free.
The Crow was frustrated and wanted to kill Su Zhan with one claw, but it couldn't shake him off and ended up at a disadvantage.
It had to admit that Su Zhan was indeed stronger than itself.
Moreover, he seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, becoming more agile than before.
"Bang!"
As the Crow grumbled inwardly, Su Zhan fired another shot.
The bullet pierced through a tree.
Su Zhan pressed his advantage, continuing his pursuit and slashing with his Military Saber.
Damn it!
The Crow Lord was furious and could only deal with Su Zhan while quickly leaving the forest.
However, every few meters it walked, it would be unlucky enough to be ambushed by Su Zhan, leaving it with more than a dozen wounds.
Su Zhan, on the other hand, was unharmed; even when he was occasionally stabbed, he was easily taken down.
This made the Crow very frustrated.
It never imagined that the ant it once despised would suddenly grow into a being capable of contending with it.
How can it possibly bear this?
However, the Crow also knew that Su Zhan had been able to fight it until now purely by taking advantage of the environment and the firelight, and that it would lose its advantage once daylight arrived.
So it decided to escape first and find a new battlefield later.
He had only run a dozen meters when Su Zhan fired another shot.
The bullet struck its tail precisely, causing it to stagger and nearly fall.
"You bastard, this is outrageous!"
The Crow Lord was enraged and leaped up, delivering a powerful mid-air strike.
Su Zhan remained completely calm, leaping back three or four meters to avoid the attack.
At the same time, he hooked his finger again.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh--"
Dozens of Silver Needles were thrown out, enveloping the Crow.
The Crow's expression changed slightly, and it swept its hands together.
The flying Poison Needle vanished instantly.
"Kill!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Zhan rushed forward and thrust both swords simultaneously into the Crow's throat.
The Crow sneered and suddenly stretched out its body.
"Flutter!"
With a flap of its wings, it hurtled towards Su Zhan like an arrow.
Su Zhan's expression changed slightly.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
He leaned back and hid behind a tree like a monkey.
The Crow also fell to the ground with a thud, its wings flapping like sharp swords piercing through the trees.
A flurry of leaves drifted and scattered.
Su Zhan narrowed his eyes, able to see that Crow had made considerable progress over the years.
At that moment, he swung his right hand, and the Military Saber flew out, aiming straight for the Crow's throat...
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh--"
Without a word, the Crow raised its left claw and flapped it rapidly once more.
An endless, cold wind howled out.
The Military Saber was instantly knocked away and disappeared into a pile of dead branches and leaves.
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Zhan pushed off with both legs and launched himself towards the Crow.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
As Su Zhan soared into the air, the feathers on the Crow's back suddenly stood up, sweeping towards Su Zhan like steel needles.
These feathers are extremely small, but they are incredibly sharp; if they hit the skin, they can definitely pierce two holes.
"Whoosh--"
Su Zhan's eyelids twitched, and he stomped with his left foot, crushing a piece of broken tree trunk. Then he swayed to the side.
He slipped through the gap like a fish.
Before Su Zhan could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the Crow's claws tearing at him again.
This guy is indeed cunning; his attack just now was merely a feint, his real purpose being to disrupt my vision.
Su Zhan twisted his body again, dodging the attack, and then pressed himself against the Crow's belly.
The Crow arched its body and spread its arms, trying to stop Su Zhan's movements.
"Whoosh--"
Su Zhan didn't hesitate at all. He reached forward with his left palm and pressed it against the Crow's belly.
The Crow suddenly felt a sharp pain in its abdomen, as if it had been electrocuted.
It let out a muffled groan and then flew backward.
The Crow tried to roll over to steady itself.
Su Zhan turned around and closed in, then suddenly threw out his left fist.
The Crow were terrified.
"Bang!"
It hurriedly lowered its arms to block.
With a sharp crack, its arm bones broke, and its body was forced back several steps.
But it gritted its teeth and stopped retreating. With a somersault, it stood up and roared, "Bastard, I'll kill you..."
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Just as the Crow regained its footing, Su Zhan fired several more Silver Needles.
The Crow's eyes flashed fiercely, and it swung its right hand, knocking all the Silver Needles away.
But Su Zhan the opportunity to get close again and kicked the Crow three times.
The Crow let out a miserable cry and retreated, crashing into two large trees before finally stopping.
Its chest was caved in, and blood was flowing from the corner of its mouth; it looked extremely pitiful, clearly having suffered a severe injury.
It stared intently at Su Zhan and roared, "You dare to hurt me?"
Regardless of who hurts whom!
Su Zhan sneered, "They must all die tonight!"
As he spoke, he waved his hands, and five or six Silver Needles shot out.
Seeing Crow, the crow darted away, making a hasty retreat.
Bang bang bang!
The Silver Needles brushed past, embedding themselves in the trees, causing them to sway violently.
A burnt smell filled the air.
Crow was furious. He, High-level Leader of the Yang Country Martial Alliance, couldn't even defeat a mere brat. It was a disgrace.
Su Zhan, however, pressed his advantage.
"Bang!"
Su Zhan took another step and smashed it down on the Crow's head.
The Crow's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and it flapped its wings.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
A black bat wing swept towards Su Zhan, carrying with it a suffocating stench.
"Ta-da!"
Su Zhan forcefully swung his Military Saber, scattering the bat's wings, but that didn't mean the Crow would dodge.
He took advantage of the situation and pushed against the tree, his whole body springing up.
"Bang!"
Su Zhan kicked the Crow in the ribs, sending it flying away with a miserable cry.
"Whoosh!"
Su Zhan didn't let this good opportunity slip by. He lowered his legs and pulled back, soaring into the air and swooping down towards the Crow.
"Whoosh--"
Su Zhan's body traced an arc in mid-air, like a shooting star falling towards the Crow's head.
Sensing Life Element, the Crow instinctively turned and rolled to the side.
Su Zhan's right knee slammed into its back, the immense force causing it to scream and collapse, breaking two more ribs.
At the same time, Su Zhan swept his left foot, knocking away the Crow's two wings again, forcing it to keep retracting its neck.
The Crow was very aggrieved and angry. "Despicable and shameless!"
Su Zhan laughed loudly, "Me, despicable and shameless? Compared to you, what am I?"
"Whoosh!"
Just then, Su Zhan's heart tightened.
He sensed a hint of danger.
Su Zhan turned around and kicked the Crow towards a nearby rock.
"Boom!"
The Crow's massive body landed heavily on the ground.
Before they could react, the soil beneath the Crow exploded, and a cloud of smoke billowed out.
Then, more than ten dark figures emerged from the ground and coiled around Su Zhan like snakes and scorpions.
Su Zhan flicked his Military Saber, severing seven or eight venomous snakes, then stomped his foot on the ground.
"Puff puff puff!"
With a flick of his toe, he sent all the remaining venomous snakes flying.
Without even looking, he picked up a stone and smashed it on the Crow's head with a loud crack.
Blood spurted out.
The Crow struggled to its feet and sneered, "Bastard!"
It never imagined that its meticulously planned trap would not only fail to kill Su Zhan, but would also cost it its own life.
Its face was full of sorrow.
Su Zhan ignored it, picked up his knife and walked over, ready to deliver the final blow, only to find the Crow lying dead on the ground.
It stared at the sky with its eyes wide open, filled with resentment, hatred, and regret.
Clearly, they hadn't expected Su Zhan to be so domineering and powerful.
Unfortunately, the world is too big, and the margin for error is too small; it shouldn't have provoked this nemesis.
Su Zhan picked up its carcass and sniffed it, but couldn't detect the smell of potassium cyanide, so he guessed that the Crow hadn't ingested any deadly poison.
"Bite--"
Just as Su Zhan was wondering where the Crow got the poison, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the bushes not far away.
Then, several beams of light shone out from the grass.
They were several girls in red, wearing White Mask and white robes, and they were sweet-looking.
Each person held a long arrow and aimed it at Su Zhan.
"Court death?"
Su Zhan said indifferently, "Come on!"
The girls in red all pulled back their Crossbow.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh--"
Dozens of red arrows rained down.
"Ah!"
Su Zhan did not dodge, letting the arrows strike his body.
He relied on his brute strength to withstand the damage, and although he suffered some minor injuries, the overall harm was minimized.
"Waaah--"
Just then, a dark shadow broke through the thick night, flashing through the grass like lightning.
With a whooshing sound and the force of a thunderbolt, it pounced on the woman in red with lightning speed.
Su Zhan frowned slightly, sensing that this thing was different from what he remembered.
He wanted to warn the Red-clothed Woman to be careful, but fearing he would scare away the attacker, he remained silent and waited for things to turn around.
"Chirp!"
Almost at the same moment, the woman in red also let out a sharp cry.
She also drew a Soft Sword from her waist.
The Soft Sword instantly straightened.
The sword exuded an icy, bone-chilling aura, and carried a chilling, sharp edge.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The woman in red wielded Soft Sword and unleashed a continuous barrage of slashes.
She moved like a phantom, making it difficult for the enemy to discern her true form, while simultaneously thrusting out a sword with lightning speed.
Her Movement Method were extremely unpredictable, making them impossible to defend against.
"When!"
However, although her Soft Sword was extremely sharp, it was blocked by the Black Eagle that suddenly attacked.
The Black Eagle spun in the air, using the wind to accelerate, and then slashed at the red-clad woman's throat with its talons.
"Laugh--"
The woman in red hadn't expected the attack to be so swift; her pretty face changed slightly as she retreated.
At the same time, his left hand swiftly reached out and grabbed the other person's wrist.
However, Black Eagle's wrist was as strong as steel, and she found it difficult to lock onto it.
And the Black Eagle's talons didn't hesitate to grab.
The woman in red had no choice but to loosen her grip and leap away.
She had barely moved from her spot when a hand reached over her head and grabbed her slender neck.
She looked up and saw a handsome face with a mocking smile, "Don't move..."
The Red-clothed Woman's eyes turned cold. "Su Zhan?"
She never expected that this heartless bastard would catch up with her, let alone that he could kill the Crow.
Su Zhan chuckled, "That's right, it's me. Didn't expect to see you again, did you?"
As he spoke, he had already crushed the Crow's throat and then tossed the carcass aside.
"I really didn't expect that!"
The woman in red coughed, her pretty face showing embarrassment, seemingly annoyed at her own carelessness.
