Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 510 Slaying
At this moment, Zhou You was running through the grass.

Honestly, although everything seemed to go smoothly just now, only he knew how much risk he had taken.

Ultimately, this body is just that of a child around ten years old who has suffered from long-term malnutrition. Even with his combat experience, he still has little room to maneuver when facing several adults, each with their own unique skills.

The previous attack was effective for two reasons: first, it caught them off guard—those guys only knew he was skilled in swordsmanship, but they didn't expect him to also possess talismanic magic; second, ...
—Sometime during the day, a fat green snake began to crawl onto my shoulder.

But Zhou You didn't care, and didn't even try to drive it away. He just tilted his head, listened to the sound of the green snake flicking its tongue, and then said in a low voice.

"You mean that the tracking guy wasn't completely dead, and he got resurrected?"

The green snake flicked its tongue more and more rapidly, but Zhou You's expression didn't change at all.

"It's alright. The dead are not the same as the living. As long as the tracking isn't accurate enough, there's always room for maneuver. But you, you just sold out your employer like that. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable later?"

The green snake paused, then surprisingly revealed a rather human-like smile.

The snake flicked its tongue a few more times, and Zhou You also raised the corners of his mouth.

"That's true. The dead really won't be dealt with. Let's cut ties for now and make sure your side isn't exposed."

Upon hearing this, the green snake shrank back into its shell, while Zhou You looked at the tall grass beside him and took a deep breath.

"The future looks bleak. That guy is cunning and shrewd. Most of the time, I'll still have to do it myself."

However, he immediately shook his head.

Many people have discussed the concept of the weak confronting the strong, but a certain great man put it best.

Nothing more than that.
They're just playing guerrilla warfare.

Besides, the other side isn't a solid block either; if we try a few more times, they'll eventually reveal a weakness.

Amidst the tall grass.

Xuan Cheng felt like he was going crazy.

No, he's gone mad.

"Damn it, are you a rat? All you do is run! Come out and fight me to the death if you dare!!!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he roared hysterically at those around him.

However, those tall grasses were only for him to deal with.

This was originally his backup plan to trap Zhou You, but unexpectedly it has become their prison.

What's even more outrageous is...
That kid is so slippery, just like a mudfish!
Each time, he would emerge from a blind spot, strike with his sword, throw a talisman, and then, regardless of whether he succeeded or not, he would immediately disappear into the bushes and flee far away.

They are clearly stronger, and they would undoubtedly win if they fought head-on, but they are becoming more and more frustrated.

Putting everything else aside, within this short hour, several of our men had already bled, and two of them had even had their chests pierced by that old sword due to momentary carelessness—although they were not dead yet, they were no longer able to fight.

Of course, this doesn't mean he just let himself be slaughtered. He tried to set up ambushes several times, and the closest he came was almost to wipe out the guy. Unfortunately, at the most crucial moment, that bastard suddenly withdrew, making all his plans come to nothing.

The anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger, mixed with unease, turning into a thick and potent poison. Xuan Cheng could only pace back and forth in the tall grass, but he could not find a way to break the deadlock.

After a while, a man in a straw hat suddenly spoke.

"Xuancheng, we can't do this."

"."

Xuan Cheng didn't reply, but simply raised his head and looked at the man with bloodshot eyes.

However, after this fierce battle, the man disregarded everything and continued speaking.

"Old Cui's soul is almost exhausted, yet he still hasn't caught that person. That guy doesn't know what method he used, but he can move freely in these ruins. If this continues, we'll just be sitting ducks to be picked off one by one. If we want to survive, we have to retreat first."

However, Xuan Cheng just stared at the man for a while before speaking in a hoarse, vicious voice.

"You were the one who thought you could come and go as you pleased? I think someone tipped you off."

The man was clearly stunned for a few seconds, then flew into a rage.

"You're saying I secretly told that kid the news?? Are you out of your mind? First of all, I've never even met him, so what good would that do me!"

Xuan Cheng smiled sinisterly.

"Who knows? Maybe it's all just a scheme against me. You, you, all of you, and even Master—everyone hates me, they all want to kill me. Don't think I don't know!!! Don't think I don't know!!!"

The other person didn't say anything more.

Xuan Cheng's appearance clearly indicated that he was beyond communication, and for the sake of his own life, he had to make preparations in advance.

Clearly, several others share this view.

Seeing the group of people huddled together silently, Xuan Cheng's expression grew even more ferocious.

"Good, good! So you've finally slipped up? Don't forget, your Gu cores are still in my hands, because of the oath I can use them anytime."

But those people did not waver; instead, they remained indifferent.

“Yes, you can certainly make a move, but Xuan Cheng, this is against the rules. Even if you can detonate one, what about the second and the third? We can risk losing one of our people, but we can still hold off the rest, or even kill you.”

Xuan Cheng was stunned for a moment, seemingly regaining some of his senses, but he immediately said fiercely.

What do you want to do?

The one in the lead continued to answer.

"It's nothing, we just don't want to die here over this. Either let us go, or we all fight to the death here, that's it."

Xuan Cheng's gaze was so fierce it seemed he wanted to devour someone, and his opponent had drawn all his weapons, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.

However, Xuan Cheng didn't completely lose his mind. After a long stalemate, he finally waved his hand.

"Fine, get out of here."

Otherwise.

The word "get lost" had barely left his lips when one of the people opposite him suddenly changed his expression.

"No, he intends to..."

‘Bang’ sound.

The entire body exploded like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

Xuan Cheng was taken aback.

No, I clearly didn't lay a hand on him, so how could this guy...?
Unfortunately, he no longer had time to think.

Upon seeing his companion die a gruesome death, the leader cried out in a sense of shared sorrow.

"That son of a bitch has really gone mad! Let's kill him, at least we'll have a chance to survive!!!"

Xuan Cheng opened his mouth to explain, but with a piercing whooshing sound, a long whip was already lashing towards his head!
Another half hour passed.

The blood had stained the ground red, seeping into the soil and being absorbed by the roots, staining the vegetation and giving even the tall grass a bewitching color.

Xuan Cheng, panting heavily, wiped the blood and flesh from his face.

Looking back, of the seven or eight henchmen who had previously amassed a large group, only two remained on his side.

No, two are enough. Enough to kill that little brat.

Xuan Cheng glanced at Old Cui's already melting corpse, spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, then searched his body, intending to use the last bit of his savings to stimulate the corpse's potential one last time.

But then, at that very moment, a gust of wind suddenly whistled past my ear.

It took my sluggish brain several seconds to come to its senses.

It's not the wind.

It was the sound of a sword cutting through the air.

That little brat is here again!!!

Xuan Cheng suddenly turned around and glared angrily at them—

However, he only saw a fleeting figure and a long sword piercing through the air!
The goal isn't oneself, but rather the last two helpers!
Under normal circumstances, in a two-on-one situation, without a sneak attack, the two would be absolutely incapacitated—however, they have just experienced an internal conflict, and both their physical strength and magical power are at a low point.

So Xuan Cheng could only watch helplessly as the sword whistled through the air and so easily took the lives of those two people!

"Fuck you!"

This time, Xuan Cheng was finally overcome with rage.

Unlike before, Zhou You did not retreat immediately after the attack. Instead, he wiped the blood off his sword and smiled at Xuan Cheng.

"Senior brother, it's been a few hours since I last saw you. Are you alright?"

Surprisingly, Xuan Cheng calmed down after hearing those clearly provocative words.

He looked at that always smiling face and suddenly said coldly.

"Impressive skills, junior brother. You truly have impressive skills. This swordsmanship and talisman technique could never have been taught to you by Master. Where did you obtain them from?"

Zhou You didn't rush to attack, but instead swung his sword and laughed.

"Who knows? Maybe I found a ring in the library, and there just happens to be an old man inside it."

Xuan Cheng didn't answer—he just kept breathing, and suddenly said something.

"Junior brother, do you know what the biggest regret of my life is?"

"what?"

"That was on the way to deliver the goods. I couldn't kill you in time, but fortunately, it's not too late now."

The moment those words fell, Zhou You had already sprinted forward.

Xuan Cheng then pulled a bone whistle from his sleeve.

He didn't blow it, but instead held the bottom line and swung it through the air—

The next moment, that familiar buzzing sound rang out again.

This time, Zhou You also saw through the true nature of this magical artifact.

— It looks like an insect, but it's not an insect.

Clumps of black mist appeared out of nowhere, emitting a sound like the flapping of insect wings, but in essence they were more like scattered shadows, which covered the surrounding space in the blink of an eye.

Zhou You frowned, stepped forward, and drew his sword.

Otherwise.

Wan Ren swept it in, but it was as if he had sunk into a viscous tar, unable to see anything substantial. Instead, he was swarmed by dozens of insects, which tore and gnawed at him with their sharp teeth, making the blade emit a sound as if it were about to collapse under the weight.

Upon seeing this, Xuancheng finally burst into laughter.

"Kid, no matter how much people look down on me, I'm still the eldest disciple under my master. With all these years of experience, I can crush you even without any help—you want to kill me? Go to your next life, hahahahaha!"

Zhou You ignored him.

Sensing the nature of the shadowy insect swarm, he adjusted his breathing, drew Wan Ren, and then rushed towards the other side.

But the insect whistles grew sharper and sharper, and then the dark sky pressed down heavily, devouring the tall grass in the blink of an eye and compressing every inch of space.

However, such a deadly move was ultimately beyond Xuancheng's ability to withstand.

Blood gushed from his mouth and nose like a stream, but he continued to laugh maniacally, constantly waving the whistle in his hand.

As mentioned before, he is now in a situation where he has no way out. He used the Gu Pill without authorization, resulting in the loss of so many fellow disciples. He also used the forbidden method of manipulating souls. Each of these actions is enough to make him skinned alive and suffer all the punishments of the sect.

So now he only has one thing on his mind.

—That's the bare minimum; you have to drag someone down with you before you die!
As the black mist grew thicker, Zhou You's expression remained unchanged. He glanced to the side, then bent down and looked up.

Then, they suddenly burst out!

"It's useless, it's useless. No matter how fast you are, can you outrun magic? These insects are born from the void, and they won't stop until they've devoured everything around me except me."

just.

This sentence, however, came to an abrupt end.

Right before his eyes, a faint light suddenly shone from someone's body, and then the figure abruptly blurred.

When we met again, they were already less than a few feet away.

Is this guy even human? How can he be even faster?
Xuan Cheng was stunned for less than a moment, but taking advantage of that opening, the sword, carrying a sliver of cold light, slashed horizontally from the left—

Fortunately, the insect whistle was still working. Just as the sword was about to strike, a sharp whistle rang out, stopping the fatal attack at the last second.

After a while, Xuan Cheng came to his senses and laughed wildly, almost dancing with joy.

"I already told you, it's useless. This is a magical artifact personally bestowed by our master. With your broken sword, you could never break through its defenses even if you spent your whole life trying to cut through it."

But Zhou You still ignored him.

With a backhand grip on the hilt, Wan Ren unleashed another strike, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound.

Unfortunately, they were still stopped by the insects.

Xuan Cheng wanted to say something, but the sword was getting faster and faster, even harder to see—but the insect swarm's resistance remained firm, and just as he was about to unleash countless dazzling slashes.

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out.

The sword, unable to withstand the weight, broke apart.

A few seconds later, Xuan Cheng suddenly burst into laughter.

"It's over? Really over? I told you long ago, it was all in vain. I'm truly finished, but junior brother, you're finished too—but don't worry, there's still time. I, your senior brother, will definitely deal with you properly, making you regret ever being born."

But before he could finish his harsh words, Xuan Cheng suddenly saw those eyes.

That chilled him to the bone several times; he always felt as if there were some inexplicable eyes watching him.

There was still calm, no fear, as if they had experienced this scene countless times before.

next second.

Right where the longsword broke, the blade suddenly snapped back, reformed, and transformed into a short knife that gleamed with fluorescence.

After the swarm of insects blocked that attack, they were already exhausted. Zhou You, however, gripped his sword in reverse and took advantage of the brief opening to suddenly close in.

then.

He stabbed down fiercely!
