Clank!!!

Zing!!! Zing!!! Zing!!! Zing!!!

The trajectory of the sword had changed so that it suddenly aimed down at Zheng-Fu's leg. Zheng-Fu hurriedly took out his sword, holding it firm until he was able to stop the other party's sword, but suddenly the other four people rushed towards his dead points in the same second.

Zing!!! Zing!!! Slash!!! Slash!!!

Even in a split second, Zheng-Fu was able to dodge those attacks from hitting his dead points, but it was not entirely possible to dodge, causing his arms and chest to be slashed. The wound was not very deep, but the first incoming assassin, seeing that Zheng-Fu was able to dodge the other four's attacks, did not hesitate, raised his sword, and slashed at him immediately.

Yaa!!!

Zing!!!

[The Belt Sword Skill; the second stage; The Soft for Fencing]

Clank!!!

Thump!!! Thump!!! Thump!!!

But Zheng-Fu was able to raise his sword as before, but this time he did not just lift it, but he used the second stage of the Belt Sword skill, which was the Soft for Fencing, to push the opponent's sword back. He turned around and tensed his energy to use the Body Protection skill.

Flap!!!

[Golden Bell Qi Armor Body Protection Skill, the first stage]

Clank!!! Clank!!! Clank!!! Clank!!!

The four assassin's weapons that charged in a split second crashed into Zheng-Fu's Golden Bell Qi Armor so hard that the sound of steel clashing in his ears rang out. Then the four assassins' weapons bounced back with four figures that staggered to the point of almost falling.

"That's... that's... What kind of skill is that? I've never seen it before!?" The city lord's voice rang out after he saw the technique Zheng-Fu used just now.

Not only the city lord but everyone in this place also wondered what kind of skill it was, why it was so strong, and why it looked majestic and filled with terrifying pressure.

But who knew that by using Qi energy armor just now, Zheng-Fu had spent a lot of energy because he could not underestimate his opponent, so he put a lot of energy into it, causing him to start sweating slightly on his forehead and the sound of his breathing to get louder.

"This is it... This is the kind of feeling I need. It felt like being in the Ancient Monster Forest and having to fight for survival all the time. This is the feeling that will allow me to advance to the next level!" Zheng-Fu muttered with a joyful smile at the corner of his mouth after using the Golden Bell Qi Armor just now.

Because that was the sensation of a thrilling battle he had experienced before. He devoted his energy to fighting to keep himself alive and to kill his enemies. It was this feeling that the blood in his body was pumping that made him smile.

"Is that him smiling?"

"Is he actually smiling?"

The city lord's follower accidentally noticed a smile on the corner of Zheng-Fu's mouth, so he exclaimed, wondering why Zheng-Fu smiled while being surrounded. Watching for a moment, their arm hair suddenly rose inexplicably.

Ugh!!!

"Leader, what are you going to do next? Our Five-Star Slaughter formation completely doesn't work. Staying like this, we might…"

"What are you going to say? Even if it doesn't work right now, I don't believe that this kid can endure for so long when faced with multiple attacks nonstop!!!" the middle-aged man, the leader of the assassin group, shouted angrily at his underlings. And then he ordered everyone to attack Zheng-Fu again.

"Keep attacking him. Don't give him time to recuperate. He will lose soon!!!"

"Yes, leader!!!"

"Tch!!! If you guys haven't put all your energy into it, I'll be the one to destroy this imperfect formation of yours!" Zheng-Fu also let out a loud voice, telling them to take more action. Otherwise, this formation they were proud of would definitely be destroyed by him.

"Well! Since you want it, we'll arrange it beautifully for you… Everyone, take off your collar!"

Huh!?

"But, Leader, if we take it off…"

"Didn't you hear what I ordered? I told you to take it off!"

"Yes, sir!!!"

Flop!!! Flop!!! Flop!!!

Suddenly, all the assassins, including the middle-aged man who was the leader of the group, reached into their robes around their necks before pulling out the black collars with strange magical characters engraved on them. Then many waves of energy arose around them.

Woooooosh!!!

Aaaah!!!

Woooooosh!!!

Aaaah!!!

Grap!!! Crack!!!

The air around them was distorted, causing the building floor to slowly shatter, and the fragments of wood and stone were scattered all around them, along with their painful cries. Then they calmed down and the bodies of the five assassins became motionless.

Boom!!!!!

"What kind of crazy energy is this!? Aaaaah! It's... it's… it's..."

Crack!!!

Suddenly, after the five assassins were still for ten breaths, a terrifying wave of energy and pressure erupted, causing the followers of the city lord at the very front to cry out in pain before his head exploded.

The rest of the people had already begun to be affected, including the city lord, but luckily Zheng-Fu helped him out of the pressure. But even then, the pressure gradually increased. The increase made Zheng-Fu feel that he was starting to feel unsafe now.

"Their energy level has increased?" Zheng-Fu exclaimed in shock as their energy level rose in an instant just by taking off the collars that had strange characters engraved on them.

"That's the Demon's Energy Borrowing skill of this Mysterious Assassin Sect!?" Suddenly, the city lord's voice rang out as he saw the methods of the assassins.

"Demon's Energy Borrowing skill?" Zheng-Fu turned to the city lord, exclaiming in curiosity because he had never heard of it.

Auuuugh!!!

Auuuugh!!!

But before the city lord could explain anything, a terrifying cry like a demon rang out from the five assassins as their bodies twisted a few times. Then they raised their heads to reveal two red eyes except for the middle-aged man, who was the leader, who had only one red eye.

"Ho, ho, ho!!! Today you guys will know the horror of us mountain tribe assassins. Be it children, women, old people, or cats, all living things in this city, we'll slaughter them all and turn this place into hell on earth!" the leader's voice had changed from normal to loud, thicker, and terrifying.

The other four did not say anything, just snorted as saliva slowly flowed from their mouths like a thoughtless beast. And not only had their posture and eyes changed, but their teeth had also become sharp.

"Then why are you waiting so long? Come in!" Zheng-Fu suppressed his shock and turned into a smile, beckoning the assassin to come toward him.

Flap! Flap! Flap!

"Kill him!" the assassin leader ordered the four underlings to attack Zheng-Fu immediately upon seeing Zheng-Fu's insulting look at him.

Auugh!!! Auugh!!!

The four of them immediately charged at Zheng-Fu as they received their orders. Their expressions were extremely wild and crazy. Not only were their gestures wild, but so was their energy level. They had now promoted their energy level from the fifth level of the Immortal stage to the elementary of the seventh level of the Immortal stage.

This level was the highest level that Zheng-Fu was able to fight. But since there were four of them, Zheng-Fu felt a little tense, and he was not sure if he could handle them. But even then, he still wanted to give it a try because Zheng-Fu's goal was to fight to the death to increase his energy level as well.

"Come in, Mountain Monkeys!"

Auugh!!! Auugh!!! Auugh!!!

Bang!!! Bang!!! Clank!!! Clank!!!

Boom!!! Slash!!!

After a while, Zheng-Fu finally got the first wound that was so deep in the middle of his back that he felt bone pain. It was while he was dealing with three crazy assassins at the front, causing the back to be opened and being slashed by the saber, that he got a long, deep wound.

Augh!!!

"It's not good like this. It looks like that kid wouldn't be able to fight!!"

"City Lord, hurry up and use this opportunity to escape. At least they will…"

Zing!!! Slash!!! Zing!!! Slash!!!

Thump!!! Thump!!! Thump!!!

Before the city lord's followers had finished speaking, the heads of all seven of them slipped out of their bodies without realizing when it happened, except for the city lord, as he was not affected.

"No one is allowed to go anywhere until this little bastard dies!" The assassin leader's voice rang out as the sword, with fresh bloodstains on it, pointed at the city lord.

Clank!!! Bang!!! Thump!!! Thump!!! Thump!!!

[The Sword of the Wind Skill]

Whoooooosh!!!

Clank!!! Clank!!! Clank!!!

"It doesn't work at all, no matter what skill I use… If I persist like this, I'll die before my energy is upgraded. How am I going to get Jin-Tian to come out and help deal with them?" Zheng-Fu's feelings of hesitation began to arise as the situation turned bad.

No matter how hard he attacked them, they did not feel any pain or retreat at all but would only invade. And now he was starting to get really tired, causing his attack ability to be reduced, which could only push them back.

"Ha ha ha! How is that bastard getting tired already!?"

"Tsk! It's just a warm-up. I don't feel any tiredness anywhere. Phew!!!"

"Good! I'm also curious how long you'll be able to spit nonsense, you bastard kid. And when you run out of energy, that's when you and your family die!"

Huh...?

"I've told you not to involve my family!!!"

Auugh!!!

Just a few insults and words that had come out of the assassin clan leader's mouth earlier made Zheng-Fu furious, accelerating the Qi energy in his body and ordering it to swirl around continuously. And suddenly...

Boom!!! Boom!!!

The sound within his energy realm sounded twice while a formidable and terrifying aura was emitted from Zheng-Fu's body. The explosion sound meant his next advancement. Zheng-Fu had been stuck in the bottleneck for a long time, and his urging just now had caused the bottleneck to burst open.

Moreover, it also exploded twice, which meant that Zheng-Fu had not only advanced one level but two levels. Even though Zheng-Fu had just upgraded to a new level, his energy was extremely stable, as if he had gone through a level-up for a very long time, and the balance of his energy could be adjusted immediately.
