372: There is only one left, don’t wait any longer!

Shen Bei shouted words of defiance, daring others to fight him.

In reality, taking advantage of the dazed state of the terrified Others, Shen Bei decided to be a hero for once—a wise man knows when to retreat.

He ran!

This time, amidst the crowd, disregarding the attacks of other Others, he took Maru Go's head.

Shen Bei was also seriously injured.

At the same time, with Maru Go's death, although there was some deterrent power, it was feared that once the Others recovered, greater hatred and madness would surge forth.

Avoiding their sharp edge and dodging their blades, a gradual approach, spreading out his forces, was Shen Bei's wise choice at this moment.

Slowly wearing down the Others' rage, then gathering strength to erupt and defeat them one by one, was the best option.

Shen Bei believed that recklessness was necessary, but not thoughtless recklessness, which would be suicide.

Those Others had originally prepared to meet Shen Bei's charge.

But they didn't expect Shen Bei to run!

"Damn it! A feint!"

"Cunning humans, truly hateful!"

"If you've got guts, don't run, I'll chop you to death!"

"Kill him! This human is covered in wounds, he won't last long, chop him!"

"Chase him!"

"Avenge Maru Go!"

...

A chorus of hateful voices from the Others were squeezed out from between their teeth.

But Shen Bei had already vanished into the maze-like paths of the vast North Mansion.

This group of Others split up again to pursue him.

To them, Shen Bei was covered in wounds from being chopped, and although he wasn't dead, his injuries were not minor.

This was not the outside world, where with the blessings of Martial Skills and spells, injuries were almost inconsequential.

Now everyone was an ordinary person!

Think about it, when everyone was an ordinary person, who could endure being chopped a few times?

Shen Bei was just a fish struggling in its death throes.

With this mindset, the Others completely relaxed their guard.

At this moment.

Shen Bei was hiding in a garden in the North Mansion.

The garden's vegetation was lush. Shen Bei took off his blood-soaked clothes, hid them beneath the garden's plants, and deliberately left a corner of his clothing exposed, as if accidentally revealing himself.

Shen Bei, meanwhile, lay prone three meters away at the nine o'clock position from the bloody clothes, quietly waiting for a fish to take the bait.

Soon.

An Other, armed with a bow and arrow, tracked him.

He stood at the garden entrance, sniffing the air.

Originally, this Other didn't need physical arrows; like other Martial Artists or Cultivators who used bows, he only needed to activate Origin Qi to condense arrows with various effects.

But now the environment was different, Origin Qi was completely lost. This Other was quite resourceful, breaking off a few branches and using a dagger to carve out several crude arrows, like snake spears, while searching for Shen Bei.

Direction and accuracy were not a concern; this Other didn't intend to shoot from a long distance. But for close-range shooting, there was still some threat and accuracy.

This was enough!

His triangular eyes quickly spotted a glaring presence within the garden's vegetation.

It was the corner of the bloody clothes!

This Other knew with certainty that the human had been cornered!

"Hiding your head but exposing your butt!"

The Other was confident of victory and let out a sinister laugh.

The next moment.

He quietly crept closer, drew his bow ten meters away, and with a sneer, shot the branch arrow.

Pfft...

The arrow flew into the flower bed and disappeared.

The Other tilted his head.

He shot a few more arrows.

He felt like something wasn't quite right; why was there no howling or writhing?

"Could it be discarded clothes?"

The Other thought this, and an answer almost formed in his mind.

It was definitely discarded clothes.

As for why the clothes were discarded, the reason was simple: the smell of blood.

Logically, this Other should have turned and left.

But he still walked towards the bushes.

Simply because... all his branch arrows were gone.

He had to retrieve them for reuse.

He walked into the flower bed.

He bent down to pick up the arrows, then looked at the bloody clothes again.

Indeed, just as he thought, they were discarded clothes, and the human was nowhere to be seen.

Just then, Shen Bei, who had been hiding nearby, was rewarded for his patience. He stomped his foot, and his entire body directly rushed towards the bow-wielding Other from the side.

When the Other noticed a dark shadow lunging from the side, his expression instantly changed to one of shock. It was too late to retreat, so he decisively responded with a hand chop. At the moment of impact, there were two 'pfft' sounds, blood splattered, and two deep gashes instantly appeared on the Other's arms!

Pain surged through him.

Before the Other could react.

Shen Bei had already grabbed the opponent's arm and swept a kick fiercely towards his waist and abdomen. This was not even the end; Shen Bei's raised right leg then spun around, directly aiming for the Other's neck.

Bang!

The impact of this axe kick still sent the Other crashing to the ground.

A dull thud accompanied it.

For a moment, the Other even wondered if his neck had truly been severed by a heavy axe, his face turning pale.

He even subconsciously reached for his neck, as if to check if his head was still there.

It was there.

But for some reason, the hands that touched his head actually took his head off...

Just like peeling off a blood scab from his body...

Thud...

The Other, holding his own head, fell heavily to the ground.

Shen Bei, meanwhile, retracted his dripping long blade, wiping away the foul-smelling blood.

Just now, Shen Bei's powerful axe kick had sent the Other kneeling to the ground, and he drew his blade to chop off the Other's head.

As a result... just coincidentally, the falling head was caught by the Other's own hands.

"Truly the art of death."

Shen Bei's eyes were cold as he turned and left, continuing to ambush other Others.

...

Clang, clang...

Blade light flashed.

One Other after another was found by Shen Bei, who, without a word, chopped them to death!

In this process, although Shen Bei was always successful and extremely fierce, he also accumulated many new injuries.

However, for Shen Bei, new injuries and old injuries were all the same.

He was numb.

Numb from the pain.

He only knew that he had to chop down all these Others, then return to the mountain peak, kill Heaven-Shaking Slave, and achieve something others wouldn't even dare to dream of!

A Fifth-Grade Cultivator slaying a Martial God!

Is there anything wrong with that?

For those unaware of the inside story, absolutely nothing was wrong.

Just thinking about it was exciting, so, under this temptation, Shen Bei was completely energized.

Adrenaline surged!

He no longer hid, but instead openly appeared to fight ferociously with the Others.

He was incredibly fierce!

Before, the Others chased Shen Bei to chop him, but now Shen Bei chased the Others to chop them!

Some Others were so terrified by Shen Bei, who was covered in blood like a War God, that their legs trembled, and they turned to flee out of the North Mansion.

How could Shen Bei let them go?

If an Other were to escape, a single shout could summon thousands of Others.

That would be a complete disaster.

Even Zhuang Bifan wouldn't be able to retrieve his own corpse.

Therefore, Shen Bei pursued fiercely, directly chopping down this Other.

At this moment, Shen Bei quickly counted the numbers.

Almost all the Others who hadn't participated in the healing were chopped to death by him.

"No, there's still one Other I haven't found."

Shen Bei walked back, carrying his machete, his gaze scanning around: "That's Gu Jiu!"

Shen Bei simply stopped pretending. He walked and shouted: "Gu Jiu! We actually met on the passenger ship, do you remember Maru Go controlling the ghost shadow to steal things?"

"I was there at the time, and I even paid a lot of gold beans."

"Think, think carefully, did you see any humans back then? I was among them."

"I'm standing right here. I'll give you a quarter of an hour. If you want to know how I became an Other, come over."

"I won't wait if you're late!"

After shouting these words, Shen Bei stood still on the high platform.

He believed that Gu Jiu would certainly be very interested in this and would have to come out!

Indeed.

A moment later.

Gu Jiu, looking bewildered, appeared before Shen Bei, ascending the steps!
