If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

"It's you, Hou Zhenghao! You're not dead yet!"

Zhou Wu looked at Hou Zhenghao in front of him. Not only was one arm broken, but there were also several long scratches on his face, which looked like they were caused by some kind of wild animal.

"Old friend, I went to great lengths to come back and see you, and you just wanted me to die?"

"You, you, you weren't with that savage woman..."

"Hehe, I killed her, I slaughtered her with my own hands, and I also killed all her people."

Hou Zhenghao killed an entire clan, yet he described it as if it were an insignificant matter.

"you."

In fact, Zhou Wu wanted to say that Hou Zhenghao was no match for that female savage at all, let alone wipe out her entire clan. There must be some unknown secrets behind this.

"Stop guessing. Just like you thought, I really couldn't beat her, so I humbled myself and pretended to submit to her. Finally, I found an opportunity to kill her with my own hands while she was asleep, and then I killed all the members of my clan one by one."

"Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness, how could you do such a thing?"

Upon hearing that the female savage was killed in her sleep, Zhou Wu couldn't help but think of many things, and then he shuddered.

Zhou Wu's words were like poison, making Hou Zhenghao feel uncomfortable all over. He kept rubbing his body, as if there was something dirty inside.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have suffered torment from that savage woman. This is the shame of my life."

"So you've come back to take revenge on me."

Zhou Wu has now changed his strategy. He can't escape now, so he can only stall for time, hoping that the lost Niu Er and Lin Niangzi can find him as soon as possible.

"No, no, no, I'm here to ask you to show me the way."

"You're still daydreaming about becoming an immortal!"

It's unbelievable that Hou Zhenghao, even in his current state, is still thinking about that illusory path to immortality. It seems this person is beyond saving.

"Bullshit! What daydream? This is just mortal nonsense. You've been to Baiyujing, and you think you can fool me? I've already glimpsed the Kunlun Wonderland you described. It's exactly as you described. There's no distinction between day and night, the sky has a green glow, there are flightless birds, and white divine beasts."

"Now that you've found it, why did you come back?"

"Nonsense, without you, I searched all over Kunlun and still couldn't find the entrance. I guess it must have been enchanted by immortals, and ordinary people can't find the entrance at all."

Hou Zhenghao's words left Wu Tianji and Jin Xier completely bewildered. What immortals, Bai Yujing?

"So Zhou Wu has been to the Immortal Realm? No wonder he always has these strange things on his mind."

Wu Tianji muttered something under her breath, but Jin Xier heard it clearly. The latter looked at Zhou Wu with a look of shock and admiration.

. . . . . . .

Don't you hate me?

"I don't hate it. I know the path to immortality is full of twists and turns. Maybe this is a test from heaven for me."

"But isn't it too much of a waste for you to be in this state?"

"Hmph, what's so unworthy of it? Compared to becoming an immortal, this is nothing."

"You're completely beyond saving."

Hou Zhenghao's obsession ran too deep; this was the first time Zhou Wu had ever encountered such a persistent person.

After all this time, I don't know if Niu Er and Lin Niangzi have found me yet.

"Alright, enough nonsense. I've already released your woman. Now come with me one more time. When we get there, I promise I'll release you again."

You know what, although Zhou Wu has tried to kill Hou Zhenghao several times, Hou Zhenghao has never thought of harming him. He's actually a pretty good person, which makes Zhou Wu not know how to evaluate him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wu couldn't help but want to try to persuade the other party again.

"There really is no Bai Yujing, don't be so stubborn."

"Zhou Wu! Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. You have to go today, whether you like it or not."

Hou Zhenghao had completely lost his patience. He knew from the beginning that Zhou Wu was stalling for time, but he still tried to persuade the other party to go with him so that he could save a lot of trouble on the way. But it seemed that he had no choice but to resort to force.

Hou Zhenghao strode forward, reaching out to grab Zhou Wu.

Seeing this, Zhou Wu could only quickly protect the two women behind him, and then secretly raised his hand to fire a miniature crossbow bolt at Hou Zhenghao.

"Whoosh! ~~~"

Hou Zhenghao easily dodged the two hidden arrows with a sidestep.

"I knew you had a lot of tricks up your sleeve, so I was on guard against you all along."

Hou Zhenghao had risen through the ranks on the battlefield, and after several encounters with Zhou Wu, he had already figured out Zhou Wu's personality and was on guard.

"咻咻~~"

No sooner had Hou Zhenghao finished speaking than two more arrows were fired.

"It's not over, right?"

Although Hou Zhenghao was prepared for this sneak attack and it couldn't hit him at all, it was still incredibly annoying.

Having lost all his patience, Hou Zhenghao immediately used a grappling technique.

Zhou Wu's mediocre skills were no match for Hou Zhenghao; he would be subdued in just a few moves.

Fortunately, Zhou Wu was aware of the gap between himself and his opponent, so he did not choose to fight head-on, but instead kept moving around and dodging.

"Brother, don't panic, Niu Er is here."

Just as Zhou Wu was about to be defeated, Niu Er arrived in time. Zhou Wu had never thought Niu Er's voice was so beautiful, like heavenly music.

"Sir, step back, we'll deal with the thieves."

Lin Niangzi arrived shortly after, and Zhou Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Niu Er alone was no match for Hou Zhenghao, but with Lin Niangzi added to the mix, the two sides could be considered evenly matched.

"Hmph, two against one, what kind of hero are you?"

Hou Zhenghao seemed to be getting anxious, but his provocation had no effect at all, and Lin Niangzi even retorted a couple of times.

"Hmph, can't you see I'm your great-aunt? You're the man, your whole family are men."

"As expected of Zhou Wu's subordinate, he's just as quick-witted as Zhou Wu."

Hou Zhenghao knew that today's operation had completely failed, so he began to intentionally or unintentionally look for a way out and prepare to slip away.

He suddenly pretended to walk towards Zhou Wu. Everyone thought he was going to attack Zhou Wu, so they quickly protected Zhou Wu in the middle. But as soon as they got into position, Hou Zhenghao suddenly turned around and ran away.

This sudden change left everyone stunned.

"We can't let him get away."

Zhou Wu roared, waking everyone up.

Hou Zhenghao is now like an extreme religious figure, too dangerous. Although he has not tried to kill Zhou Wu, he has already threatened the people around Zhou Wu, so Zhou Wu absolutely cannot let him live.

As they were talking, Hou Zhenghao had already escaped the ambush. With his skills, these people definitely couldn't catch him.

Hou Zhenghao glanced behind him and smiled disdainfully.

"We were too careless this time. Zhou Wu won't have it so easy next time."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud "bang" came from behind him.

Hou Zhenghao's running body fell heavily to the ground.

Behind them was a hole the size of a peanut, from which bright red blood was gushing out.
