Those who reincarnate must die.
Chapter 20 The Night Is Deep but the People Are Not Quiet
This match is a victory for Zhang Lang!
Seeing his companion killed, Zhuang Sicheng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. The others, however, were more shocked by Zhang Lang's tenacious will to live!
"Clap...clap...clap!" At this moment, Shen Changfeng stood up and clapped his hands: "I never expected to see the long-lost Great Reincarnation Secret Incantation reappear in the martial arts world today. Truly amazing!"
The so-called "college student's secret incantation" is naturally a slight intervention by the altar to conceal Zhang Lang's regenerative abilities. Whether such a technique originally existed in this world is impossible to verify. Although he is not a reincarnator, Xu essentially stole the altar's power to send him here, and to a certain extent, he was also protected by the altar's functions!
In any case, the match was over. The long sword that Zhang Lang had snatched was broken. He looked down and then took the pair of iron gloves off the dead Xiong An. However, when he tried them on, they were a bit sticky because of the blood on his hands, making them inconvenient to wear.
This thing is still suitable even after Xiong An transforms into a giant beast, because it has an adjustable function. Zhang Lang and Xiong An are not too different in size, so it should not be unsuitable.
Zhang Lang, covered in blood, stepped off the stage, and the other contestants involuntarily made way for him, as if avoiding a malevolent star.
The servants immediately went up to clean up the arena... To be honest, this arena was the hardest to clean since the start of the competition. Not only were many bricks broken, but blood was splattered almost everywhere, causing the next match to be delayed for a long time.
One arena battle after another had been fought. At this level, the contestants' strength was not to be underestimated, and most of them were reincarnated warriors. Basically, everyone who had a gun had pulled it out. Although the rules did not restrict weapons, seeing so many people taking out similar, powerful firearms made Old Master Shen break out in a cold sweat.
Has the Thunderbolt Hall made another breakthrough in its research? How come they've come up with so many powerful firearms?
As Zhang Lang watched the pairs of players battle it out on the field, a rumbling sound came from his stomach.
Regenerating from an injury is extremely physically demanding, especially severe injuries involving multiple fractures! Zhang Lang relied on the enhancement of his leaden belly, ate a lot for lunch, and stayed in the sun the whole time to manage to outlast the enemy's transformation... But if this continued, he would eventually be killed as his stamina ran out!
It's still not powerful enough!
His regenerative abilities can save him from danger once or twice, but it's impossible for him to rely on them to get to the end!
Zhang Lang must become stronger!
As dusk fell, the last match came to an end!
Seven matches, six dead!
Besides Young Master Yun and Xiong An, the blond-haired man with the watch also killed his opponent... His opponent even pulled out a gun; he was a reincarnator, but this guy still showed no mercy and killed his opponent with a single strike!
Zhang Lang noticed that his opponent had fired a shot before he drew his knife, but the shot had no effect on him and did not seem to create a barrier.
Xu explained that it's probably a blocking skill! It can block one or several attacks of a certain power or higher. It generally won't be activated by weak attacks and is often used to block extremely powerful single attacks. Compared to a shield, although it's not as flexible, the blocking limit is very high, and it's almost impossible to break through the block. It's also a very practical life-saving skill!
With powerful attack capabilities and the ability to block, this will be a very dangerous opponent!
This also made Zhang Lang remember his name: Jin Minghui!
As for the remaining three dead, one of them was a skilled indigenous person who was shot in the head by a reincarnator with a gun. The other two were the two reincarnators he faced in the last match, and they died together!
"It's going to be this intense!" Xu Ye couldn't help but sigh. "It seems these teams are competitors; their goal is to win the championship. It's not like they're just playing against each other; they'll fight tooth and nail!"
"That's for the best!" Zhang Lang looked at the people on the stage collecting the corpses with a cold gaze.
At this point, only six people remain! Barring any unforeseen circumstances, these six will compete for the final championship!
That night, Zhang Lang went to dinner as usual. Today, no one bothered him, and he ate more than usual.
Back in his room that night, Zhang Lang touched the gauntlets he was wearing. These were rare pieces of equipment, not only sturdy and durable, but also possessing a powerful punching ability! During the battle, Zhang Lang had noticed that enemy punches sometimes carried exceptionally heavy force; those capable of breaking bones were almost always these powerful punches. It seemed to be due to this skill!
Unfortunately, Zhang Lang cannot use this skill.
This equipment with special abilities is a special reward drawn from the altar's 1000-fold lottery. While others can use it, they are limited to its basic functions and effects; the additional skills cannot be activated. However, it's still a rare-grade gauntlet; its hardness and power surpass ordinary armor, so it's not bad!
Zhang Lang went to bed early, recalling the battles of the day. At present, the most noteworthy ones were Zhuang Sicheng and that blond-haired swordsman Jin Minghui. Both of them were very strong, and he would have to come up with a plan if he wanted to win.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Lang was fast asleep when suddenly his ears twitched, and he sat up abruptly!
He heard someone climbing over the courtyard wall!
Zhang Lang immediately put on his boxing gloves, quietly walked to the door, and leaned against the wall to wait... Judging from the noise, it seemed there was more than one person, but their footsteps were very light. He could only notice them because they happened to be climbing over from behind his house... After climbing in, the group tiptoed away, and soon the noise disappeared...
They weren't after me, were they thieves? Or enemies of the Shen family?
Zhang Lang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but remained wary. A thought flashed through his mind: "Coming in at this time might be related to the Reincarnators! Should we go check it out?"
Zhang Lang nodded, then quietly pushed open the door and slipped out of the room. He followed the direction in which the footsteps disappeared, and before he had gone far, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the inner courtyard. Someone shouted, "Thief!"
As expected of a martial arts family, not only were the disciples skilled in martial arts, but most of the servants and laborers were also trained in martial arts. For a time, there was a constant clanging and banging as hundreds of people carrying weapons came out. The infiltrators could only flee back the way they came, only to run into Zhang Lang, who was secretly following them!
There were three thieves in total. When the leader saw someone in front of him, he didn't care about anything and just pulled out a pistol and fired three shots. One shot missed, and the other two hit Zhang Lang in the chest!
However, this minor injury was no problem for Zhang Lang. He snorted and charged forward, throwing a punch. The man was startled, not expecting that the other party could fight back after being shot. Caught off guard, he had his weapon knocked away and was then punched in the head, dying instantly.
The two following behind, seeing the situation was bad, immediately drew their weapons. However, they didn't seem to have any firearms. One used a longsword, and the other used a meteor hammer. They also rushed up and fought desperately.
Since they were reincarnated beings, Zhang Lang didn't hold back. He charged forward with his iron fists, quickly taking down the two men. He used the long sword of the man on the left to pierce the right side of the chest, and used the meteor hammer of the man on the right to smash the left side of the skull. All three men were now dead.
Zhang Lang immediately crouched down and picked up the pistol dropped by the first person. It was just an ordinary-grade gun, small in size, suitable for assassination, and its power didn't seem very great. Before he could find more bullets, he heard a group of servants and laborers chasing after him. Zhang Lang frowned and immediately turned and retreated.
Although he hadn't done anything wrong, Zhang Lang had killed quite a few people in the past two days, making him a focus of attention in the eyes of the Shen family. It was best not to get involved casually at this time to avoid getting into trouble.
As for the corpses, let them investigate them themselves.
Zhang Lang returned to his room, silently grumbling to himself, "These three petty thieves are nothing special; they're probably teammates of some other participant! They don't even have two hundred points combined! I reckon each altar only gets a limited number of hero invitations, and only the strongest participate. They probably infiltrated to take revenge after their teammate died..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lang said in surprise, "Then they should have made their move where the contestants were staying, not in the inner quarters..."
"Maybe...it's not for revenge, it's to rack up points!" Xu continued to speculate. "Reincarnators get rewards for killing powerful people or monsters in mission worlds! Maybe they don't want to fail the mission and lose everything, so they're planning to kill Old Master Shen and Miss Shen at the end for a gamble? But that doesn't make sense either. For reincarnators, failing the main quest is equivalent to having their points reset to zero, so killing more people won't help!"
Zhang Lang scoffed, not even confident that he could infiltrate the inner quarters to assassinate them!
"Then I can't guess what he's going to do either..." When Xu said this, Zhang Lang even thought he saw him shrug his shoulders and look helpless, even though Zhang Lang didn't know what Xu looked like... or even if he had a specific form.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Zhang Lang stopped dwelling on it and went back to sleep...
The next morning, Zhang Lang got up as usual, went to the canteen, and after a hearty meal, he went to the training ground to prepare for today's competition.
With the contestants in place, the audience arriving, and Grandpa Shen and Shen Qianqian taking their seats, everything was ready, and the third day of the competition officially began.
There are six people left. They will be paired up, and the first match will be between Zhang Lang and Zhuang Sicheng.
Zhang Lang stood on the field, facing the bearded man whose eyes were filled with hatred!
He had four teammates, all of whom died at Zhang Lang's hands. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were mortal enemies! But Zhang Lang didn't care whether they hated him or not. In any case, he and all the reincarnators were sworn enemies to the death!
"You killed my companion!" Zhuang Sicheng gritted his teeth. "I'll make you pay with your life for this!"
Zhang Lang raised his hands and tapped the pair of metal gauntlets provocatively.
This move further enraged Zhuang Sicheng!
He roared and charged out before the gong could sound, unleashing his "Heart-Shattering Palm" from afar!
Clang! A long metallic sound rang out as Zhang Lang blocked the attack with his fists clasped together! But before he could retaliate, Zhuang Sicheng had already appeared behind him, his hands clasped together, and a blazing fireball instantly formed. With a powerful push, it exploded behind Zhang Lang with a loud bang!
"Pfft!" A mouthful of scorching blood spurted out, turning into red mist and evaporating before it even hit the ground. Zhang Lang was sent flying far away by this attack, only managing to stay on the stage by desperately gripping the floor tiles with his iron hands!
But before he could stand up, Zhuang Sicheng rushed over, drew his short knife, and stabbed it directly into his heart!
Thump... Thump...
Zhang Lang felt his heart scraping against a sharp blade with each beat, and excruciating pain flowed through his body with his blood!
But that wasn't the end of it. Suddenly, a burst of energy erupted from the tip of Zhuang Sicheng's knife, shattering Zhang Lang's heart and lungs with a loud bang, and even causing his chest cavity to swell up!
"Pfft!" Zhang Lang spat out a mouthful of blood, which was mixed with fragments of internal organs!
An ordinary person would die instantly from such an attack, but Zhang Lang was different! He abruptly shut his mouth, gritted his teeth and swallowed what was in his mouth, grabbed Zhuang Sicheng's shoulder with his left hand, swung his right fist, and punched him directly in the face!
Boom!
The punch was extremely powerful; blood and broken teeth spurted out, and several strands of his beard got stuck in the gaps of Zhang Lang's gauntlets!
Although Zhuang Sicheng possessed multiple attack skills with astonishing destructive power, his physical body was far inferior to Xiong An in his beast form, and also much weaker than Zhang Lang. This punch, delivered with his glove on, truly sent stars flying through his face, causing him to drop his knife and stagger back several steps...
After delivering that punch, Zhang Lang fell to his knees with a thud, one hand supporting himself on the ground, the other covering his mouth. With each cough, blood mixed with bits of flesh seeped from between his metal fingers...
You mustn't kneel down... it will give the enemy an opening!
Zhang Lang focused all his energy on healing his internal injuries, while simultaneously grabbing the knife in front of his chest, pulling it out with a thud, and gritting his teeth as he charged toward Zhuang Sicheng!
His steps were unsteady, he didn't dodge... Was he planning to use Flash? It shouldn't be on cooldown that quickly! Or was he trying to feint to fool me? Never mind that, I'll just charge in!
Zhang Lang thrust the knife in his hand straight at Zhuang Sicheng's heart!
