Utterly Exhausted
Despair and regret crossed his face, but it was all too late.
Before Su Zhan could finish his thought, he loosened his grip again, and the last Crossbow Bolts pierced the Killer's brow.
A streak of crimson blood seeped from his forehead, and the Killer's body twitched a few times before becoming still.
Su Zhan didn't stop. He grabbed the Dagger and slashed the throats of the four men several more times.
Four corpses soon lay scattered in the grass.
At this moment, Su Zhan felt somewhat tired. After all, he had been under a lot of mental stress and hadn't had a proper rest for a long time, so both his body and mind needed recuperation.
He figured he should get a good night's sleep tomorrow, otherwise his body might not be able to take it if he kept staying up like this.
Just as Su Zhan was stretching to relieve his fatigue, he suddenly sensed a murderous aura coming from his left...
Su Zhan turned his head and saw a cold glint flash past from his left.
The chilling killing intent made his hair stand on end, and without even thinking, he leaped up to dodge.
Almost as soon as my body left the ground, a series of muffled thunderous explosions rang in my ears.
"Boom!"
A cloud of white mist rose up, obscuring the view and carrying the acrid smell of gunpowder.
Almost at the same moment, Su Zhan felt a pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw that his clothes had a hole in them.
His face darkened, and with a push of his right leg, he was launched into the air, avoiding the fate of being blown up.
"Puff puff puff!"
Just as Su Zhan landed on a dead branch, he felt several gusts of wind approaching the back of his neck.
He drew his Military Saber with a backhand and swung it!
Three thin, cicada-wing-like blades jingled as they were deflected, but they also hindered Su Zhan's pursuit of his opponent.
"Whoosh!"
Without stopping, Su Zhan pulled on the reins, and the horse went wild, galloping straight forward.
Just as the horse was about to gallop out of the grove, a sharp arrow grazed Su Zhan's shoulder and embedded itself in a large tree.
Su Zhan spun around and dodged.
The next second, Su Zhan bent down and leaped off the horse, his arms swinging violently, and his Military Saber whistled out.
The Military Saber struck a large rock with lightning speed.
Crack! The boulder shattered into two pieces.
Without pausing, Su Zhan rolled to dodge several Crossbow Bolts aimed at him, and then continued running forward.
"Call--"
I had only walked a few meters when a strong, cool breeze blew in my face.
Su Zhan looked up and saw a gray-green Python sliding down from the treetop, its scarlet tongue flicking out, looking ferocious and menacing.
Its fangs are twice the size of a normal person's, exceptionally sharp, and terrifying.
"You beast!"
Su Zhan roared and hurled his Crossbow in quick succession.
The Python skillfully dodged, but it still couldn't avoid the last two Crossbow Bolts.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The Crossbow Bolts pierced the Python's body, drawing out two bright red blossoms of blood.
The Python screamed in pain and struggled wildly, sweeping its tail to knock the two Crossbow Bolts to the ground.
Taking advantage of its rolling motion, Su Zhan suddenly bent his body and slid across the ground like a swimming dragon.
Just as he regained his footing, the Python rolled over and opened its jaws to bite Su Zhan, displaying extraordinary power.
Fuck you!
Su Zhan roared, swung his Military Saber, and severed the Python's tail.
"Hiss--"
The Python let out a mournful cry and was thrown five or six meters away, covered in blood, but it was still not dead. It continued to sway its tail and coil around Su Zhan.
"Court death!"
Su Zhan picked up a Crossbow Bolts from the ground, aimed it at the Python's belly, and fired.
"Sizzle!"
The Crossbow Bolts flashed by, instantly piercing the Python's abdomen and spraying out a spray of blood.
The Python froze completely, its massive body crashing to the ground.
Su Zhan put away the Crossbow: "This thing really is a lethal weapon."
