Chapter 4

Among the six villagers, five had star constellations rising behind them!

A dappled leopard, a black panther, a pickaxe, and two unknown wild grasses.

Unlike Tian Meng, whose Frostless Blade had a star shining, the star constellations of these five villagers did not emit any light.

"They are all Noble-level star constellations, not a single Life Palace is lit, which is good..." Tian Meng took a step back, grabbed a table leg, and had already sent his little book servant to the corner.

"You actually have combat power?" Tang Zheng had already prepared to fight alone.

"Of course, I was born a one-star warrior!"

"Then what were you afraid of last night?!"

"Afraid of ghosts!" Tian Meng, who had tried hard to hide his fear yesterday, now admitted it boldly.

Tang Zheng laughed heartily and kicked the door panel.

Three of the five villagers charged at Tian Meng, while the remaining two, one with a hoe and the other with a flower spade, attacked Tang Zheng from both sides. However, with a loud clang, the door panel was kicked hard into the face of the man with the hoe.

Tang Zheng's movements were like a ghost, slightly dodging back!

The man with the flower spade just followed Tang Zheng's steps, and was hit right in the face by the door panel that bounced back from the man with the hoe!

Tang Zheng quickly picked up the flower spade that the man had dropped and threw it away smoothly and elegantly.

"A broken spade is so heavy!" Tang Zheng took two quick steps back into the room and grabbed a lighter table leg.

An assassin by profession actually found the table leg quite unsatisfactory.

Unfortunately, there was no choice!

Tang Zheng tightly gripped the table leg in his right hand, waiting for the man with the hoe to swing first. He suddenly turned, dodging the sharp end of the hoe, and with his left hand, he slid along the wooden handle of the hoe, grabbing the moment when the man with the hoe lost balance, and fiercely raised the table leg to smash into his waist!

He didn't hit the head because Tang Zheng knew that, without facing a sharp weapon, a human head is quite hard. A wooden table leg might not even break it.

But by hitting the back, he easily made the man with the hoe fall to the ground, unable to get up no matter how hard he tried.

Tang Zheng turned and, as the man with the flower spade came to save his companion, he lifted the table leg and thrust it forward.

The flower spade was very lethal, but it was much shorter than the table leg!

Tang Zheng's table leg, with force, thrust directly into the man's stomach.

Unexpectedly, because the man with the flower spade rushed too quickly, the half-table leg with some wooden splinters directly pierced into his body, passing through him!

In less than ten breaths...

One dead, one injured, two dealt with!

Tang Zheng looked at Tian Meng, who already had several wounds on his body. The table leg in his hand was covered with a faint layer of white frost, and wherever it went, it could cut hair. When it touched a person, it left a line of blood. However, his "PVP skills" were truly unbearable to watch.

Tang Zheng took two steps closer to Tian Meng, grabbed the table leg, and chose a tricky angle to smash it into the neck of the person behind Tian Meng. The man's body tilted, and his head hit Tian Meng's table leg...

Blood splattered on both of them, and a large head rolled on the ground, the face still frozen in shock and anger.

The three people around Tian Meng were clearly stronger, and Tang Zheng had several wounds on his body, one of which was deep to the bone.

Tang Zheng immediately stepped back.

Another villager immediately swung a large bone-cutting knife at him. Tang Zheng kicked the man's knee, and just as Tian Meng raised his hand, the bone-cutting knife collided with Tian Meng's table leg.

Ding!

The wooden table leg in Tian Meng's hand was unharmed, but the iron bone-cutting knife was shattered into several pieces!

The man with the knife, weaponless and momentarily stunned, was quickly struck by Tang Zheng, who pressed Tian Meng's right hand down.

Tian Meng's table leg, with force, pierced the man's chest!

Blood splattered, covering Tang Zheng and Tian Meng with hot blood...

Tang Zheng wiped his hand, pulled the confused and disoriented Tian Meng, and thrust the table leg into the throat of the last villager.

Silence.

A sudden silence.

In the entire room, only the sound of blood dripping from the table leg to the ground could be heard.

"Good, really good, I underestimated you." The only man outside who had not moved, with a vipers' star constellation rising behind him, walked in coldly.

Moreover, the tail of the viper had a star position that was flashing on and off.

Life Palace lit, one-star warrior!

...

Tang Zheng's mind was still at the level of "clearing the small monsters, preparing to fight the boss."

But this wasn't a game!

There was no time to sit and meditate to recover health and mana!

The boss, of course, didn't need to be "opened."

A series of flying knives, with a cold gleam, suddenly flew from the one-eyed man's hand!

"Xiao Ji!" Tian Meng cried out in sorrow, following the direction of the flying knives.

The first round of flying knives all hit the little book servant hiding in the corner. Each knife's tail end was tinged with a light green, similar to the frost on Tian Meng's table leg!

The little book servant's terrified expression was frozen in that moment.

Tang Zheng's eyes turned cold, and he grabbed a nearby corpse, using it as a shield, and charged at the one-eyed man.

Elbow strike!

Tang Zheng threw the corpse, leaped up, and struck the one-eyed man's face.

"Be careful." Tian Meng's voice, now changed, clearly meant to stop him.

Tang Zheng was taking advantage of the one-eyed man's moment of vulnerability when he threw the flying knives, but when he struck with his elbow, his arm felt like it had hit steel!

"Damn, experience is misleading." Ten years of gaming experience told Tang Zheng that ranged classes have low health and defense...

But the one-eyed man could throw flying knives from a distance, and his physical strength was also not weak!

Tang Zheng's attack failed, and he exposed a weakness!

The one-eyed man's solid palm struck at his chest.

Tang Zheng's mind flashed with the thought of "insufficient space to dodge," but suddenly, he saw the palm stop in mid-air!

A layer of white frost quickly formed on the one-eyed man's feet and hands!

The one-eyed man was momentarily unable to move.

White frost?

Tang Zheng turned and saw that the star constellation of Tian Meng's Frostless Blade was shining much brighter than before, but in an instant, the blinding light shattered like mirror fragments in the air.

Tian Meng spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Taking this moment to catch his breath, Tang Zheng rolled over, struggled to pick up the heavy hoe closest to him, and struck the one-eyed man's remaining eye!

"Ahh..." The one-eyed man screamed, blood gushing out.

"Quick!" After making the one-eyed man "blind," Tang Zheng helped the still dazed Tian Meng and ran.

After a dozen steps, Tian Meng realized how fast Tang Zheng had acted—the one-eyed man, on the verge of death, let out a sharp, ear-piercing scream!

It was a signal!

After the sharp scream, people emerged from every empty room.

If they had delayed their escape by two steps, they would have been trapped and chopped into mincemeat!

"You... you are really an interesting person..." Tian Meng, running with Tang Zheng, forced a smile through his cold breath.

Tang Zheng was still making meaningless comments like "if this were a game, you should be a beautiful woman," but he noticed the situation was getting worse.

People were surrounding them from all sides. The village was so small, where could they run?

"Stop! Don't run!"

"Quickly lie down, I'll give you a quick death."

"Still running? Still running? I don't believe you can escape!"

The taunts from behind only made Tang Zheng angrier.

You say we can't escape? Every boss in the game acts tough, but in the end, they all end up licking the players' shoes.

Of course, this wasn't a game.

He could feel his wounds tearing open, and Tian Meng's breath was getting weaker.

Tang Zheng supported Tian Meng.

"Your injuries are too severe... put... put me down." Tian Meng's face was indistinguishable between crying and laughing, "I just... I released my Frost Blade, which... which is only possible with a 'Star Burst,' and after a 'Star Burst'... a person can't survive..."

"Star Burst? Burning the small universe?" Tang Zheng guessed the meaning of "Star Burst," "Hey, Tian Meng, Tian Meng, stay conscious, how about I tell you a story about 'Saint Seiya'?"

Tian Meng coughed up more blood, stumbling and smearing Tang Zheng's clothes, "Sorry, I... I can't... have a large family, but... thank you for saying that... and, the story of 'Battle Through the Heavens'... was very exciting, but... I... I'm not the main character..."

Tang Zheng lifted him up again, "I say, you're so light, are you a woman in disguise?"

"Eh?" Tian Meng was once again taken aback by his sudden change.

"Don't say those meaningless words," Tang Zheng interrupted his final words, "Tian Meng! Tell me! What does the 'Paper Intoxication' flower look like?"

Who said we can't escape?

I'll show them we can!

If Tian Meng hadn't interrupted his thoughts with his pessimistic words, his solution would have come even faster.

"Cough... the... 'Paper Intoxication' flower?"

"Yes." While running, Tang Zheng's mind was working at high speed, recalling everything he had seen and known since arriving in this world, trying to find a glimmer of hope in the myriad of clues.

"I'm not sure... but I heard... it should be... golden, large... large..."

"Indeed!" Tang Zheng judged the direction, found Tian Meng's pace too slow, and simply carried him on his back, tying him with the purple-gold belt, and increased his speed.

That flower field!

Tang Zheng ran towards the beautiful golden carpet-like flower field he had seen from the treetops.

Tian Meng had already fainted.

And Tang Zheng's vision was also starting to blur.

More and more people were surrounding them, but Tang Zheng seemed to see nothing, his eyes fixed on the brilliant flower field, getting closer, closer!

One strike, two strikes...

Whether it was a slash, a chop, or a cut, Tang Zheng only avoided the vital points, not stopping but accelerating!

Every wound on his body screamed, the more wounds, the faster his steps!

Until he plunged into the golden flower field!

...

A group of villagers, with frightened faces, stopped at the edge of the flower field.

"What? They rushed into the 'Paper Intoxication' flower field?"

"Two fools, dying in the most terrifying illusion, it would be better to give them a quick death!"

Thinking of the effects of 'Paper Intoxication,' they shivered.

Not long after, an old and a young man, dressed in expensive clothes, arrived at the flower field. They walked several steps into the field because of their valuable items.

After coming out, the older man was sweating, "Forgive me, Young Master Lan. Such a small situation is usually handled by the vipers, but this time... I never expected two low-level passersby to kill the vipers!"

The young man, called Young Master Lan, sneered, "Killed, so what? A bunch of useless people."

"Shall I arrange for a set of purple-gold soft armor to be sent from the Hidden Blue Manor, and send someone to search inside?"

"No need." The young man slowly turned, "Let's go back."

"But, Young Master Lan..."

"I said, no need. Just wait for the next rain, and they will become fertilizer for the 'Paper Intoxication' flowers, and no one will remember who they were."
