Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 567 Liberation
The giant's veins bulged, and the ink of his tattoos covered his entire body—a large, white-browed tiger with glaring eyes was perched on his chest, its tail swung down his abdomen to his waist, and the muscles on his arms bulged. On his left arm, a spotted leopard was tearing at him, its teeth stuck in the bulging veins; while on his right arm, a snake's head was raised at his elbow, its tongue flicking.

He took a deep breath, and right before Zhou You's eyes, the tattoos seemed to come alive—the giant insect opened its blood-red maw, the spotted leopard revealed its gleaming fangs, and the giant python snaked upwards along the arm, its head raised forward, its crimson tongue flicking out.

—Hallucination?
wrong!

The blood in his body seemed to start burning at the same time. Zhou You blinked sharply and suddenly woke up.

The giant was still the same giant, and the tattoos on his body didn't come to life, but just by standing there, an aura of power naturally arose.

In an instant, there was nothing else in the world, as if only this one person existed.

—Damn it, Chongxu, you son of a bitch, you saved the worst one for me, didn't you!
While cursing his master in his heart, Zhou You suddenly realized that something was wrong with him.

The corners of my mouth are turned up.

It wasn't the humble smile that had become a habit, but rather a smile of eager anticipation and extreme excitement.

Feeling his heart pounding suddenly, Zhou You was stunned for a few seconds, then he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

—How long has it been since I encountered a powerful enemy, apart from immortals, Buddhas, demons, and ghosts, who I fought purely by strength?

Now that my gambling instincts are kicking in, let's have a good gamble!

The giant did not take this opportunity to attack, but instead stretched his limbs and waited for Zhou You to get into position before speaking.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you. How many years has it been since I've seen such an interesting young man? This damned world... don't worry."

He exhaled a breath of stale air, but what he said afterward was not any words of appreciation for talent.

But a sentence.

"I will fight with all my might to kill you."

Zhou You raised his head and flashed a bright smile.

"What a coincidence, so am I."

next moment.

Both sides attacked simultaneously!

Instead of drawing his sword as usual, Zhou You nocked a bow and shot out three talisman arrows in quick succession with a series of muffled thunderclaps.

This time he didn't hold back; everything he used was a talisman drawn with his own dragon blood.

however.

The other party didn't dodge at all.

Without even moving an inch, accompanied by a loud laugh, that mountain-like body actually managed to catch the three talisman arrows!
The first burst of fire exploded, but only left a few scorch marks between those massive muscles.

The second black line was tangled, but before it could take effect, it was casually shattered by the giant's palm.

The third flash of cold light was like the sharp edge of a weapon—this was also a top-grade talisman. However, it had only penetrated less than three inches into the giant's skin when the tiger bit it down hard. Then, with a snap of its jaws, it was instantly broken in two!

"Is that tattoo also a method? It seems to have a higher defensive capability than many magical artifacts, which is indeed not easy to deal with."

But at this moment.

The giant had already covered several meters and was closing in on them.

Zhou You could indeed fight him head-on. But if he did, he would be a complete fool!
My family does gamble, but we're not stupid enough to try and outmaneuver someone who's clearly a brute.

and so.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes and quickly retreated.

next moment.

With a deafening roar, a crater nearly a meter deep appeared where it had been!

Zhou You also clearly saw it.

The giant's hand remained suspended in mid-air, without touching the ground.

The force of the punch alone is so great that if you were hit head-on, you would be lucky to survive with an intact body!
But Zhou You was not afraid.

Even the blood in his body was boiling; his consciousness and instincts were constantly urging him on—

Liberate, then draw your sword and engage in a thrilling battle with this monstrous thing!

But in the end, Zhou You held back.

—It's not the right time.

Or rather, it's not the right time yet.

In the midst of my busy schedule, I glanced to the side.

Meanwhile, fighting is raging on other battlefields.

Ming Xiangu fought against two men alone. The Gu worms flew everywhere, and two silver lights flickered among them. Although they could not match the overwhelming power of the swarm of worms, and one of the silver lights was dim and without luster, Ming Xiangu could not swallow them for a while.

Yun Zhongzi, on the other hand, was purely a magician. Although he belonged to the logistics department, he still had some unique skills. With just a casual wave of his fat hand, the colorful Danxia clouds gathered into mist, which was either corrosive or poisonous. He fought the Qingxia sect members to a standstill.

Both of them are completely unreliable. Only Master Chongxu's side is somewhat more relaxed. Although Khenpo Wangmu's Chakrasamvara is undoubtedly powerful, he can only retreat again and again due to the difference in numbers and the seeds that have already been planted everywhere.

This person also noticed Zhou You retreating again and again, frowned, and then gave a wink.

Soon, several people broke free from the Chakrasamvara side, shouting, "Senior Brother, we're here to help you!" and rushing towards them with weapons in hand!

Instead of feeling happy, Zhou You's expression turned even more unpleasant.

"Get back here! This isn't your place—"

Before he could finish speaking, the disciples had already made contact with the giant.

The other party just chuckled coldly twice, and then threw a punch.

In an instant, a person exploded into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air!
No one else had reacted yet, but Zhou You saw it clearly.

The moment the fist touched his body, the disciple's outer clothing and skin seemed to disintegrate, or like sand eroded by wind, shattering instantly. Both his hard bones and fragile internal organs turned into specks of dust.

In the end, apart from a pool of pus and blood, the disciple left no trace in the world.

Just then, the second person approached.

The giant changed his sweeping motion to smashing, his fist coming down from above, instantly turning the disciple from a three-dimensional being into a two-dimensional one—and it wasn't until much later that blood splattered out from the thin meat pie!

The last one finally sensed something was wrong and turned to run away before he could even get close—but the giant's fan-like hand reached out and grabbed the man's nape without much force, just a light shake.

With the sound of bones shattering, the man couldn't even utter a scream before turning into a pile of mud!
Zhou You's eyes twitched as he stood to the side.

Did Master Chongxu not know that these disciples were delivering vegetables?

How could that be! He clearly knows the giant, and his knowledge of him is definitely considerable.

This guy just wanted to use these few lives to demonstrate the giant's power to Zhou You.

The first was pure violence, smashing a person into dust with just a punch. The second was a combination of skill and strength. The third was pure showmanship—with a flick and a throw, there was no external injury, but the disciple's bones were reduced to dust!
The meaning is clear: the opponent used not only brute force, but also unparalleled skill.

Be careful!

Zhou You took a deep breath, sheathed the Broken Moon Bow, and then drew his sword, Wan Ren. The giant's movements remained unhurried. Seeing Zhou You draw his sword, and even wiping the blood from his hands on his trousers, he smiled and said...

"What? So the Heavenly Sword is finally going to use a sword? After all those moves, I thought you only knew how to use talismans and a bow. I was thinking you should change your name to Heavenly Bow—see, that sounds much better, doesn't it?"

Zhou You completely ignored the other party's teasing.

He simply observed the giant's movements carefully with his eyes, and then took a step.

In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the giant's side!

Given her current physical condition, a direct confrontation would be absolutely disadvantageous, therefore...
He's a fast swordsman, so let's find a way to win by using speed!

The sword thrust out diagonally, its bluish-green light, like plum blossoms, aimed straight for the giant's armpit—yet when the blade struck the thick skin, it produced a sound like metal clashing—this was not the power of the tattoo, but the giant's own ability.

This person has actually mastered external martial arts to the point of being indestructible!
The giant chuckled and slapped his hand with a gust of wind, causing the stone slab to explode into a crater with a "whoosh"—but Zhou You's sword had already suddenly changed direction, aiming at the giant's temple.

—Damn it, no matter how skilled you are, you can't possibly master the technique to the point of being fatal!

pity.

He was wrong after all.

The giant neither dodged nor evaded; the muscles on the side of his neck were knotted like tree roots. When the sword blade grazed past, several sparks of metal flew out!
"Damn, are you cheating?!"

Zhou You finally couldn't help but curse out loud, but the giant just laughed.

"Unfortunately, our martial art requires reshaping the entire body's bones and flesh. All fatal acupoints have been eliminated, you..."

"Zheng——!"

Before he could finish speaking, the sword blade slashed horizontally, aiming straight for his crotch!

The giant's expression finally changed drastically, and he retreated hastily, managing to avoid his own fatal spot at the last moment.

This time it was Zhou You's turn to laugh.

"You were bragging so much, I was really worried about this, but I haven't even mastered my manhood yet."

The giant lowered his head, looked at the ripped pants, and said with an extremely ugly expression.

"Heavenly Sword, we're all men, don't you know there are some things you absolutely can't touch, even if you're dead?"

Zhou You grinned.

"Sorry, you said the fatal flaws have been removed, but I took that as you even cut off your own penis, so I couldn't resist trying it out."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Then, the giant slightly crouched down, assumed a horse stance, and with his left fist at his waist and his right fist extended, he actually formed a fist stance in this life-or-death struggle.

However, seeing this action, Zhou You immediately felt a sense of alarm.

He didn't have time to press his advantage; a paper figure quickly slipped from his sleeve and was then crushed in an instant!
This is the second life-saving substitute.

Immediately, his figure blurred, and in his place appeared a paper figure painted with bright red oil paint in the void—but just as he was about to leave this place, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face.

next moment.

In mid-air, Zhou You's figure was forcibly 'squeezed' out again and fixed in place!
The giant laughed like a bloodthirsty beast, then slowly uttered two words.

"Shake the Heaven!"

then.

That world froze instantly, then shattered.

Whether it was tables and chairs, hard stone pillars, or even the invisible and intangible air, everything shattered into tiny fragments with the force of this punch!

Zhou You, being in the midst of it all, was naturally not immune.

However, at this critical moment, he gritted his teeth and activated the Divine Food Potion and even the Heavenly Dragon Bloodline to their maximum, finally managing to swing his sword and cut a small gap in the solidified world.

And that tiny gap is the difference between life and death.

In mid-air, a silver dragon scale suddenly exploded out of thin air, then turned into dust along with the shattered space.

The giant raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Dragon bloodline? It seems quite pure. Wow, I didn't expect you to be royalty. But I wonder which lineage you belong to? East Sea, West Sea, or those other big lakes and rivers? No, that doesn't feel like it's from this area. I was wondering if it's a lineage from Buddhism?"

Zhou You remained silent.

He reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth—although the blow hadn't killed him, the residual force had still injured his internal organs.

It wasn't heavy, but it still hurt quite a bit.

And this is how the giants truly get serious.

—A soft sigh.

"I have to say, this is definitely a high-difficulty scenario. Even a random second-in-command is more powerful than Chen Xun from Wan Yuan's time." He shook his head, then tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped it around a wound on his arm. "Now that things are like this, I really don't know how I'll survive in scenarios with even higher corruption levels. Damn it, couldn't you at least give me some easier challenges in Black Book?"

The giant tilted his head, clearly puzzled.

"Heavenly Sword, what are you muttering about?"

"—No, it's nothing, just think of it as a sudden illness."

Zhou You watched as the giant withdrew his fist and began to crack and stretch his muscles—it was like the move from before, and he wondered how many more times the opponent could use it—and finally sighed helplessly.

"I was planning to keep this thing for a while, but I never expected to need it now."

The giant didn't stop Zhou You from talking to himself. Perhaps it was overconfidence, perhaps it was just curiosity, or perhaps it was simply because he rarely encountered such an opponent. He merely raised the corner of his mouth and then smiled.

"Oh? It seems you have some backup plans. I wonder who gave them to you? Venerable Chongxu, Yun Zhongzi, Chen Wen, or was it personally bestowed upon you by Master Chenghua? Speaking of which, I really want to see his methods and see if they are as powerful as the legends say."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou You interrupted him with a light laugh.

"No, brother, you're wrong. My methods don't come from them."

"Who is that from?"

"Myself."

".What?"

"Myself."

Zhou You repeated it again, then smiled.

That smile was different from all the previous ones, and it had only one meaning.

That is the ease and joy of suddenly letting go after enduring for a long time!

In the end, the giant heard only two words.

That's it.

"liberation!"
