This immortal was clearly ordinary, yet he was unusually confident.

In the eyes of the underworld messengers Zhang San and Li Si, Zheng Zhuang possessed profound magical powers, reaching an unbelievable level, which enabled him to dispel the thunder.

In truth, only Zheng Zhuang himself knew the real reason. Just as the Thunder Spear was about to pierce him, he sensed another mysterious Xuanhuang Qi within his body.

He didn't know what it was, but it was precisely because of the obstruction of the Xuanhuang Qi that the Thunder Spear did not fall.

Zheng Zhuang guessed that his ability to assimilate the faith power in Ah Xiu and Qin Ming was mostly due to that Xuanhuang Qi.

Before he was conferred the title of a god, he had never noticed such a thing within his body, and he was certain that even the sword of his primordial spirit in his sea of ​​consciousness had not yet discovered the existence of the Xuanhuang Qi.

Could this be his cheat code?

After leaving Qiuming Mountain, Zheng Zhuang did not rush back to Quliang City, but walked on foot. He needed some time to sort out his thoughts.

This world is completely different from the previous one, and there are too many things that cannot be explained by science.

Even some very basic common sense is only partially understood by him.

But he never asked Qin Qianqian, for a simple reason: he couldn't let his image as a senior expert crumble!

Zheng Zhuang unknowingly walked into a forest. As darkness fell, although his cultivation level meant he could see clearly at night without any problem, he still stopped.

He randomly chose a spot, used his flying sword to carve out a cave, then found some dry firewood nearby, lit a fire, hunted a pheasant, cleaned it, and roasted it over the fire.

This pheasant was quite large and very plump. It was just unlucky that, even though it could fly, Zheng Zhuang only pointed at it lightly and it fell straight to the ground.

Soon, an enticing aroma wafted through the air.

Real firewood pheasant!

Good luck, let’s eat chicken tonight!

Zheng Zhuang carefully turned the pheasant over, then sprinkled some seasoning on it, instantly making the aroma even more intense.

Just as he was about to tear off a chicken wing to satisfy his craving, a fierce fighting sound came from not far away.

Four strong men dressed in black were chasing a man and a woman ahead, the woman carrying a four or five-year-old girl in her arms.

"Ye Yuan, hand over your family's heirloom jade pendant, and I'll spare your lives!"

"Sun Yaohuo, don't give me that crap. You four brothers are all ruthless. If I hand you over, will I still be alive?"

"Hey, now that you know our reputation, you should understand that we won't give up until we achieve our goal. You can't escape!"

"Enough with the nonsense, I'll risk my life to drag you down with me."

"Go together!"

The four Sun brothers immediately rushed forward. Although Ye Yuan's martial arts skills were slightly superior to the Sun brothers, the four of them cooperated well and were proficient in a set of combined attack techniques. For a time, they fought back and forth.

Because he had to protect his wife and daughter behind him, Ye Yuan was hesitant and timid when drawing his sword, and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

As the fight drew closer, everyone saw the bonfire ahead and Zheng Zhuang holding a chicken wing, ready to take a bite.

Ye Yuan was initially delighted to see the firelight, because those who dared to travel alone at night usually had something to rely on, and as long as there was some restraint, he could act freely.

But seeing Zheng Zhuang dressed as a scholar, he couldn't help but show his disappointment.

"Scholar, run! These four are vicious and ruthless. If they see you, they will not let you live. We have no intention of implicating you."

"Since you know we won't leave any survivors, then you're just unlucky. Yaoming, let's deal with this eyesore first!"

One of the men in black, brandishing a knife, grinned maliciously and swung it at Zheng Zhuang. Seeing that Zheng Zhuang didn't move, Ye Yuan sighed helplessly, blocked the blow, and roared:

"What are you waiting for? Run!"

But Zheng Zhuang remained motionless, as if he had been terrified.

Seeing this, Sun Yaohuo couldn't help but show a mocking expression, and said to Ye Yuan with a smile, "You still have the mind to care about others!"

As he spoke, he continued to attack Ye Yuan. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ye Yuan's wife put down the little girl at some point, then took out a short sword from her bosom and stabbed one of the men in black.

At this moment, the four Sun brothers were focused on Zheng Zhuang and Ye Yuan, and the man was caught off guard and fell into their trap.

"Yaoliang! You bastard, how dare you hurt my brother!"

"Today is your death day!" Ye Yuan's wife sneered, then turned to the little girl and said softly, "Ling'er, be good, go to your uncle first."

Sun Yao said angrily, "I didn't expect you to know martial arts. We really misjudged you!"

Ye Yuan laughed loudly: "Before Feng'er got married, she was a famous heroine. Little brother, take good care of Ling'er for me. Feng'er and I are going to kill these four beasts today!"

The little girl obediently ran to Zheng Zhuang's side, her eyes filled with tears, but she held back from crying.

Ye Yuan and his wife attacked the Sun brothers together. With their swords combined, their power increased greatly. One of the Sun brothers was injured, which greatly reduced the power of their combined attack, and he was covered in wounds.

The four exchanged glances, wanting to retreat, but Ye Yuan and his wife had already blocked their escape route and fought with increasing ferocity.

Before long, Sun Yaoliang, who had already been ambushed, was caught off guard by Ye Yuan, who stabbed him in the chest with a sword and sent him crashing to the ground.

Enraged, the other three Sun brothers lost their composure and were severely injured by Ye Yuan and his wife one after another, eventually collapsing one by one in despair.

When Ye Yuan and his wife saw that all four Sun brothers had been executed, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

But just then, applause rang out, and another man in black emerged from the shadows of the woods.

"Wow, that's amazing! I never expected that Madam Ye, who seemed to know absolutely no martial arts along the way, would possess such superb swordsmanship!"

The newcomer was thin and small, with a rat-like face and small eyes that gleamed slightly green.

"Who are you?" Ye Yuan and his wife immediately adopted a defensive posture.

The man in black licked his lips and chuckled, "Who I am is unimportant. What matters is that you all must die. However, Madam Ye must taste quite good. Before you die, I'll have to savor her properly."

"I kill you!"

Ye Yuan's eyes turned red, and he charged forward with his sword drawn.

The man in black moved his feet slightly, easily dodging Ye Yuan's longsword. Ye Yuan then thrust several times, but couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Yuan's wife also drew her sword and rushed forward, and the two of them attacked the man in black together.

The man in black simply stretched out one hand and casually blocked the two men's attacks; that hand was covered with sharp, gleaming claws!

"Tsk tsk, I love watching you struggle. The more you struggle, the happier I am."

Zheng Zhuang's eyes lit up immediately. "That's a good point. I'll write it down!"

The little girl looked at her parents, who were fighting with the bad guys, and then at Zheng Zhuang, who had taken out a booklet and a pen. Her little face was full of doubt.

Suddenly, the man in black seemed to get impatient. He abruptly changed his attack, his sharp claws flashing as he reached for Ye Yuan's wife's chest. Ye Yuan tried to block him, but it was too late.

"boom!"

Ye Yuan's wife instinctively dodged backward and found that she had not been hit, while the man in black staggered back several steps.

"Who are you?" The man in black gripped his trembling hand and looked at Zheng Zhuang warily.

"Who I am is unimportant; what matters is that you must die!"

In this critical moment, Zheng Zhuang could no longer stand idly by, so he grabbed a half-eaten chicken wing and threw it over.

Zheng Zhuang slowly stood up, tore off a chicken leg from the roasted pheasant, and handed it to the girl, saying:

"Little kid, want a chicken leg?"

The little girl was already starving. She instinctively reached out her little hand but quickly withdrew it, then looked at her mother with a questioning gaze.

Ye Yuan's wife already knew that the scholar had saved her, and she smiled and nodded to the little girl.

The girl happily accepted the chicken leg. Zheng Zhuang smiled and patted the girl's head, then tore off another chicken leg from the pheasant.

Zheng Zhuang picked up a chicken leg, took a bite, and walked forward casually.

Enraged by Zheng Zhuang's disregard, the man in black transformed into a blur and attacked Zheng Zhuang at a speed at least twice as fast as before.

The same scene unfolded, but even more bizarrely. Zheng Zhuang stood motionless, slowly munching on a chicken leg, but the man in black couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

After finishing the chicken leg, Zheng Zhuang laughed heartily:

"Tsk tsk, I love watching you struggle. The more you struggle, the happier I am."
