Killing Them One by One

Meanwhile...

While Yu Xian was fighting Zhou Tai Number Three, the other Zhou Tais launched their attacks one after another.

After drinking the Blood of the Death Curse, Zhou Tai Number Four transformed into a half-human, half-spider creature. His hands became scissors, and his six legs granted him tremendous mobility. After weaving a web in the forest and waiting in vain for prey to come to him, he decided to take the initiative.

He left his web and crossed a stretch of woodland. Suddenly, he spotted a bright-eyed, pretty little girl crouching by the stream at the foot of the mountain, grilling chicken wings.

"What beautiful human skin."

As Zhou Tai Number Four stared at the little girl, his entire face twisted out of shape, and the six eyes on it shone with infatuation.

Images had already surfaced in his mind: himself dancing with that human skin, even wearing it as he admired himself in a mirror.

By the stream, Gong Qian swallowed and slowly turned the branch. The golden layer of oil on the chicken wing's surface gave off an irresistible aroma.

Just a little longer, and it would be ready to eat.

Gong Qian closed her eyes and muttered devoutly, "I would like to thank Brother Chicken for his selfless sacrifice, thank nature for its gifts, and thank my past self for diligently honing my grilling skills. Now then, it's time to eat."

She opened her huge mouth. Before she could put the grilled chicken wing inside, someone suddenly ambushed her from behind and struck the back of her head.

The air suddenly fell silent...

Zhou Tai Number Four stared wide-eyed at his hands.

His hands had clearly turned into incomparably sharp, hard scissors, yet when he snipped at the little girl's head, he could not even cut a single strand of hair.

How was that possible?!

Zhou Tai Number Four's face contorted.

That head was terrifyingly hard. It was practically a diamond head—no, harder than diamond. It had to be a superalloy head.

"Asshole, don't interrupt me while I'm eating grilled chicken wings!"

Gong Qian bared her teeth, veins bulging on her forehead, then turned and threw a punch.

Boom!

Before Zhou Tai Number Four could react, Gong Qian's punch blew his body apart. A mass of mucus and fragments was blasted away by the force of her fist before scattering across the ground.

"Damn it!"

Gong Qian cursed, then crouched back down and fixed her eyes on the grilled chicken wing, preparing to savor her masterpiece.

She opened her mouth and was about to take a bite when the sound of running came from the distance. The next moment, she sighed and slowly got to her feet.

"Captain, save me!"

A brown-haired girl, tears streaming down her face, ran out of the woods in panic and hurried toward Gong Qian.

A black tiger the size of an elephant burst out of the forest after her.

The black tiger had nothing to do with Zhou Tai and the others. It had merely been caught up in the chaos and fled all the way here. When it encountered the brown-haired girl, it was startled and immediately attacked her.

At that moment, the black tiger was only a few hundred meters away from the brown-haired girl. At its speed, it would catch her in just a few strides.

The brown-haired girl looked at Gong Qian as though they were about to be parted forever in the next second.

"You're courting death!"

Gong Qian suddenly appeared in front of the black tiger and smashed most of its face apart with a single slap. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, making for an incomparably brutal sight.

Boom!

The black tiger, having lost most of its head, crashed to the ground. Gong Qian turned around and was immediately hugged by the brown-haired girl.

The girl sobbed, "Captain, I thought I'd never see you again. I was scared to death."

She was 1.7 meters tall, while Gong Qian was only 1.46 meters tall. When she hugged Gong Qian, she looked like a mother holding a child. She had clearly been terrified a moment ago, but now, little figures in her heart were raising scissor-hand gestures and jumping with joy.

As if they were saying, Yes! I got to hug the captain!

Gong Qian could only sigh helplessly in her embrace. She wanted to struggle free, but was afraid of hurting the other girl, so she said, "Looks like there are quite a few overpowered creatures around. Come on, let's go stretch our muscles."

"Yes, Captain!" The brown-haired girl sensibly released her and replied with a smile.

Although Gong Qian was only Eagle Rank, she was an existence beyond the standard. Being by her side gave one an incredible sense of security.

Among all the young talents at Qilin headquarters, Gong Qian ranked first. Her codename was "First." Everyone who knew of her understood that she was a monster in every sense of the word.

Because she was the only one who, after consuming Pangu's Blood, had obtained Pangu's divine strength.

At Sparrow Level, she possessed the strength of a hundred tons.

At Snake Level, she possessed the strength of a thousand tons.

Now that she had reached Eagle Rank, she possessed the strength of ten thousand tons.

The vast majority of carbon-based lifeforms in this world could not withstand a full-force punch from her, and most attacks could not leave even a mark on her delicate skin.

Elsewhere, Zhou Tai Number Six was staring at a man and a woman at the foot of the mountain.

After drinking the Blood of the Death Curse, Zhou Tai Number Six's body had become slimmer, and he had grown a freely extendable tail. The demonic power he gained was invisibility.

It was an extremely advanced form of invisibility.

After activating his ability, his body, scent, light, shadow, sounds, and movements were completely concealed. Even when he stepped on the ground, he left no trace whatsoever.

Zhou Tai Number Six was very satisfied with his ability. As long as he did not attack first, no one could possibly discover his existence.

Unfortunately, this body was destined to live for only one day.

To thank humanity for its tireless pursuit, Zhou Tai Number Six decided to give everyone a surprise. For example... he could kill every weakling here.

He silently descended the mountain, his long tail extending over the heads of the man and woman.

The tip of his tail had a dagger-like structure. Not only was it hard and sharp, but it had also been coated with deadly poison. As long as it struck its target, even if it failed to kill in one blow, it would quickly render the target incapable of fighting.

At that moment, he controlled his tail and stabbed it toward the woman's crown.

Clang!

The woman was struck by the tail, producing a crisp metallic clash.

Then the woman's figure turned hazy and contracted like a wisp of smoke, forming a sharp treasure sword.

"Mo Ye Sword!"

The man grabbed the sword, drew it, swung it, and sheathed it.

Countless tiny bloody cuts instantly appeared across Zhou Tai Number Six's body. He stared at the man in disbelief. The man's aura had clearly been weak, and the woman had also been weak, so why... had they suddenly become so powerful?

Unfortunately, the man clearly had no intention of explaining anything to him. Zhou Tai Number Six could only collapse with endless confusion.

At that moment, the sword transformed back into the woman. The two took out their phones, walked over to Zhou Tai Number Six's corpse, took photos, and uploaded them.

"Codename Gan Jiang and Codename Mo Ye have slain one target suspected to be Zhou Tai."

"Codename First has slain one target suspected to be Zhou Tai and one target suspected to be a Snake Level extraordinary creature."

"Codename Salty Fish has captured Zhou Tai Number Three alive and captured Zhou Tai Number Five alive."

"Codename Lion Light has slain Zhou Tai Number Seven and killed a large number of extraordinary beasts."

Yu Xian returned to his original position with his phone in hand. As he watched the messages constantly refresh on the screen, he felt that something was off.

He tapped on each message and opened the photos one by one. Then he frowned slightly. His senses were extremely keen now, and the Zhou Tais in these photos did not feel like the Zhou Tai he had encountered in the arena before.

Which number had that Zhou Tai been?

Could there still be an undiscovered personality?
