Excessive ferocity due to caution

"Arrogant!"

The middle-aged man who initially attacked Zhao Yi let out a thunderous roar.

"What are you?"

"You dare threaten us?"

"Just a stray dog ​​from the countryside, it doesn't know its own limitations!"

Amidst a cacophony of curses, the crowd unleashed their fury upon Zhao Yi!

clang--

The bell tolled melodiously as a trial participant summoned a large bell. A ghostly face wailed on the bell, and blood dripped from its eyes as it wept.

The bell hovered in the void before suddenly pressing down on Zhao Yi!

A large amount of corpse energy erupted from the bottom of the Ghost Bell. Zhao Yi swung his sword to strike, but this Ghost Bell was extraordinary. It seemed to be stained with the blood of some extremely terrifying living beings. Now, Zhao Yi's Heaven-Opening Technique, which was imbued with some rule power, could only leave a slight mark on the bell!

Moo!

Buddhist chants emanated from the ghost bell!

Zhao Yi's spirits lifted, and the scene before him blurred.

He saw a monk in blue robes extend his hand to him!

"Benefactor, lay down your butcher's knife and you will be forgiven on the spot..."

Before the monk in blue could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly widened.

A black hand pierced through his chest!

The monk turned around and saw an eight-armed demon!

laugh!

He turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished.

Zhao Yi's cloudy eyes suddenly cleared. He pointed at the Heavenly Tribulation, and the laws of lightning surged. With the power of the two cursed items in his hand, he repelled Gui Zhong!

puff!

The trial participant who used the Ghost Bell to launch a sneak attack suffered a backlash, his face suddenly turned deathly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!

He looked at Zhao Yi, who was standing with the other trial participants, with a venomous gaze. He took out a voodoo doll from his waist and was about to attack Zhao Yi again when he saw Zhao Yi suddenly glance at him during a break in the battle!

"..."

The trial participant, holding the voodoo doll, stood motionless, his eyes glazed over.

Shen Tongzi remained silent!

Telekinetic Killing!

In a secluded place, the holder of the Ghost Bell, severely injured, exchanged a glance with Zhao Yi before collapsing straight to the ground!

Near the pillar of light, Zhao Yi held two cursed items and activated them with all his might to fight against all sides!

"Aaaaaah!"

One of the trial participants was defeated by Zhao Yi and tried to escape, but triggered the passive effect of Ke Laibin's Skin!

...

[Effect (Passive): When you have access to this item, it automatically applies a curse mark to your enemies. Enemies fighting you cannot escape; otherwise, the curse will immediately activate, dealing damage equivalent to a single strike from Clyde at his peak!]

[Note: When you possess 'Mesa's Portrait', the curse eruption is enhanced when enemies flee, unleashing seven consecutive attacks from Clement's resentment, each attack being 15% more powerful than the last!]

...

The trial participant who tried to escape underwent a terrifying transformation!

One bloody hand after another emerged from his mouth, ripping his body apart alive!

Inside appeared a demon, adorned with torture instruments and contorted in a grotesque posture. Not content with killing the trial participant, the demon went on to kill several more nearby trial participants before finally vanishing into black smoke...

"Be careful!"

"There's something strange about the cursed item in Zhao Yi's possession!"

"Never run away when fighting him!"

One of the more astute trial participants discovered Zhao Yi's secret and charged at Zhao Yi with a strange creature's arm that was dripping with viscous, putrid fluid!

This arm was extraordinary. Zhao Yi had to use all his strength to activate the two cursed items in the set to barely manage a draw against it!

"This isn't a cursed object... it's a very ominous object brought in from outside!"

With just one glance, Zhao Yi understood.

The opponent had very little knowledge of the power of rules, yet he was able to almost fully activate this extremely dangerous object to attack Zhao Yi without suffering any backlash. Clearly, this trial participant had an extraordinary status outside, which was why the power behind him had given him such a treasure!

"snort……"

"Zhao Yi, to be honest, I have absolutely no interest in the Li family's bounty..."

The trial participant, who was holding Zhao Yi's arm, looked at Zhao Yi, who was already struggling to cope, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"I'm killing you because you're too famous!"

"Kill you, and I'll become famous in the capital!"

"Remember, my name is Zhang Tian!"

Zhao Yi forced back another person who approached, then stared at the arrogant Zhang Tian and said calmly:

"It's a pity you're not famous in the capital..."

"Killing you would be no different than killing a stray dog ​​on the street."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tian's eyes flashed with a fierce light:

"You're asking for it!"

He lunged forward again, determined to kill the damned man before him with his own hands!

boom!

Zhao Yi raised his fist, a mysterious power flowing through it, and it collided with the arm of the unnamed creature that Zhang Tian was holding!

A tremendous surge of energy swept outwards, forcing Zhao Yi to take several steps back, while Zhang Tian remained standing against the wind!

"You can't do it!"

"Compared to the talents of my capital, you are far inferior!"

"The older folks in my family always say our generation is no good, but I want to prove them wrong!"

After he finished speaking, he raised the large, malevolent weapon in his hand, intending to kill Zhao Yi!

Looking at Zhang Tian's triumphant appearance, Zhao Yi clicked his tongue and said:

"How pitiful..."

"What are you trying to prove by taking these things given to you by your family elders?"

"Does this prove that the things your elders gave you were of good quality?"

Zhang Tian's boasting was interrupted, and he stared in disbelief, angrily saying:

"Damn stray dog, today you'll pay the price!"

He charged towards Zhao Yi without regard for anything else, and the arm he was holding emanated a terrifying power that he had never felt before!

Everyone realized that Zhang Tian was going to fight Zhao Yi to the death, so they quickly retreated!

The intent to kill has been established!

A glint of light flashed in Zhao's eyes as he looked at Zhang Tian charging towards him.

Hooked.

His strength is not limited to this.

Because he has a third cursed item!

...

[Item: Thomson's Novel Writing Tools]

[Quality: Red]

[Introduction: The novel wasn't finished, but the author is gone.]

...

Zhao Yi hasn't had this item appraised by the system yet.

However, this did not prevent Zhao Yi from urging it on.

The moment Zhang Tian got close, Zhao Yi's power suddenly increased to a whole new level!

Zhang Tian was shocked to see the sudden change in Zhao Yi's aura!

"I've been waiting for you for so long..."

Zhao Yi tilted his head slightly, a smile playing on his lips.

He raised his hand, gathering extremely destructive rules in his palm, and attacked Zhang Tian!

Warring States Period Martial Arts - Plum Blossom Hand!

The most powerful aspect of this martial art is that its attacks are extremely concealed, making them very difficult to defend against!

By the time Zhang Tian realized it, it was too late!

The Plum Blossom Hand, imbued with the power of three cursed artifacts, clashed violently with the malevolent object in his hand!

An irresistible force spread out, causing Zhang Tian's palm to explode instantly!

"ah--"

Zhang Tian screamed in agony as the dangerous object he was holding fell into Zhao Yi's hands.

His eyes were bloodshot as he urged the power of his bloodline to connect with the malevolent entity whose blood had recognized him, and to kill Zhao Yi in retaliation!

"It's too late."

Zhao Yi's indifferent voice echoed in Zhang Tian's mind.

Zhang Tian was horrified!

How did you end up in my head?

"Get out of here!"

Zhang Tian frantically activated the divine power of his bloodline, causing the blood in his entire body to boil!

But his vision grew darker and darker!

"Why...why is this happening?!"

The darkness filled Zhang Tian with fear. He searched everywhere but couldn't find Zhao Yi.

"Come out here!"

"If you're so capable, then fight me fair and square!"

He screamed like a clown.

But no one paid any attention to them.

The world before him grew darker and colder, and he frantically searched everywhere, but could find no exit!

Suddenly, a series of footsteps approached from in front of him.

Faster and faster... like the Grim Reaper himself was calling for my life!

Zhang Tian was terrified and quickly turned and ran away!

As soon as he turned around, he hadn't run more than a few steps when Zhang Tian suddenly felt a chill in his heart!

"Oh no!"

"We've been tricked!!"

He stared wide-eyed.

At this moment, Zhang Tian suddenly remembered—

When fighting Zhao Yi... you absolutely must not run away!
