At this moment, the four people quickly scattered, forming a pincer-like formation, completely surrounding Wang Teng.

"Hehe, we may not be able to defeat elite-level characters, but we can certainly deal with you, can’t we?"

Shi Yu let out a beast-like growl from his throat, a mocking smile on his face.

Even after recognizing the opponent as a Level 2 powerhouse, Shi Yu still showed disdain.

After all, he was the cream of the crop among Level 2 powerhouses, with one foot already stepping into Level 3.

Laughably, this Level 2 newcomer was even a wanderer.

He planned to slowly torture him to death!

"Previously, we only hunted Western Xia Cavalry. This time, the target is a Level 2 human. I’ll oversee the situation, you all have full reign to attack!"

Shi Yu crossed his arms, staring coldly at Wang Teng.

"Alright! Let me give it a try first!"

A loud shout erupted!

The short man from the east first took the initiative, rushing towards Wang Teng.

The speed was astonishing, leaving behind only an afterimage.

In a blink of an eye, the short man had moved in front of Wang Teng.

His speed was several times faster than Bolt, the most formidable sprinter on the Fertile Continent, and certainly a notch above Wang Teng’s.

Swish!

A gust of wind came rushing with a heavy killing intent.

The short man formed a claw with his five fingers and directly clawed at Wang Teng’s neck.

Wang Teng’s eyes narrowed slightly, his footing shifted as he barely dodged the deadly strike.

"Interesting."

Wang Teng swept his gaze over the four, realizing these people were blinded by rewards. Since they wanted him dead, there was no need to hold back anymore.

"Zing!"

A flash of white light, and the Xia People’s Sword was unsheathed, hand raised, sword fell.

With a sword swing, he slashed towards the short man’s chest.

This sword, empowered by Powerful Mountain Pulling, carried immense power, leaving the short man unable to ward it off.

He could only flee.

But before he could take a step, he felt a force locking onto him, his whole body as if filled with lead, unable to move.

That damn oppressive feeling!

He was pinned in place, about to be disemboweled.

"Help me!"

As his voice fell, a mysterious force erupted from Shi Yu’s body, with a piece of Blood Jade slowly rotating within his pupils.

Wang Teng suddenly felt the surrounding forests constantly twisting, like a giant whirlpool, pulling at his thoughts.

He instantly felt the world spinning around him.

The next moment, his longsword brushed past the short man’s clothes, the sword’s edge barely grazing his skin.

The strike veered off course!

Wang Teng was greatly shocked.

The short man, equally startled by the sword, retreated several steps, a half-centimeter bloodline scoring his entire upper body.

Staring at the rolling flesh on his chest, he let out a cry of pain, looking at Wang Teng with sheer terror.

Even Shi Yu’s face lost its playful expression, replaced by grave seriousness.

"All together, crush him to death!"

Shi Yu ordered; Wang Teng had nearly killed his man in one strike, making him feel humiliated.

Buzz!

An odd wave emitted from the Blood Jade within Shi Yu’s eyes...

Wang Teng’s senses instantly descended into chaos again, his whole body struggling to stand stably.

His pupils contracted.

At this moment, the world in front of him turned upside-down, maintaining equilibrium of his body became a hefty task.

Swish! Swish!

Simultaneously, the enchanting woman and sturdy man attacked him together.

In such a situation, he could only let the two attack freely, the circumstances extremely perilous.

"Haha! Go die!"

Shi Yu’s mocking voice resonated through the woods.

"Open!"

Wang Teng’s breath tightened, a furious shout resonating from his heart!

Qi Shield Mountain surged forth.

If that was the case, then let them hit!

"Clang!"

A sound akin to the clashing of metal and steel!

The sturdy man’s punch left only a white mark on Qi Shield Mountain, not budging it an inch.

The sturdy man recoiled, his arms numb from the shock, retreating several steps himself.

What the heck?!

What kind of defense was this!

It was simply a Copper Wall and Iron Wall!

The sturdy man was greatly astonished.

"His talent is an E-level Talent—Copper Wall and Iron Wall!"

"Hmph! A slippery loach in the mud!"

Shi Yu’s face flashed with astonishment, before the Blood Jade in his eyes spun quicker, unleashing an even stronger spiritual attack—Spiritual Storm.

Boom!

The Spiritual Storm, containing vast amounts of information, instantly surged into Wang Teng’s mind.

He heard countless murmurs in his ears, endless images flickered before his eyes, and his nose was filled with boundless scents.

The endless stream of information caused a slight disturbance in Wang Teng’s breathing, and the Qi Shield Mountain disappeared.

"I’ll take it!"

As the voice fell, the burly man from the west charged forth.

"Bang!"

A heavy, muffled sound!

The burly man harshly collided with Wang Teng, sending him flying.

"Bang!"

Wang Teng crashed heavily against a large tree, causing the leaves to rustle, and he instantly regained some clarity.

In the next second, he stepped forward briskly, as if nothing had happened.

"Huh?! You can actually stand up!"

The burly man looked at Wang Teng in astonishment.

"My chest feels a bit tight, maybe you knocked the wind out of me..."

Once these words were spoken, everyone was once again shocked.

They knew the burly man’s sudden collision could overturn a Western Xia steed!

They couldn’t comprehend how Wang Teng had such extraordinary resilience.

A normal Level 2 Powerhouse would typically have a Physique Index of around 30 points.

Logically, under the burly man’s sudden collision, one would be severely injured.

No way!

This kid couldn’t possibly be that strong.

It must be a reward from the system!

Shi Yu was shocked, then his eyes lit up with excitement.

He wanted to kill Wang Teng and seize the system’s reward.

With that, he would not only possess a High Level Spiritual Talent, but also a super Physique — becoming invincible would be hard not to achieve!

As Shi Yu indulged in his fantasies, Wang Teng was already holding the Protective Spell.

After several rounds of combat, he understood.

Shi Yu must have a Spiritual Talent.

Spiritual Talents are the most unpredictable, and Wang Teng wasn’t careless in the slightest, directly activating the Protective Spell to counter the influence of the spiritual powers.

As the talisman paper burned out between his fingers, a strange, clear mist enveloped Wang Teng.

In just an instant, he was invigorated, with whimsical and expansive thoughts, no longer feeling dazed.

This greatly boosted his confidence.

"Heh heh! Let’s go again, he’s just holding on!"

At this moment, Shi Yu sneered once more.

Zing! Zing! Zing!

The other three, upon hearing the command, charged again.

Facing the siege, Wang Teng was about to deploy Qi Shield Mountain...

At that moment, spinning Blood Jade appeared again in Shi Yu’s eyes.

Swish!

The Spiritual Storm launched anew, unseen and colorless, aiming to invade Wang Teng’s mind.

Wang Teng felt a faint piercing pain at his brow, as if a sharp arrow was pressing there.

But in less than half a second, the pressure at his brow lightened drastically, and the Spiritual Storm was directly shredded by the clear mist.

"How is this possible?!"

Shi Yu gasped in disbelief.

This person, clearly with the Copper Wall and Iron Wall Talent, a regular human, managed to block his Spiritual Attack.

At that moment, the other three had already reached Wang Teng.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Wang Teng’s figure shifted continuously, fists carrying the force of Mount Tai pressing down.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Three corpses fell in response, Shi Yu’s eyes widened, a dazed stare mixed with a look of horror.

"You... impossible!"

Shi Yu was in disbelief; he never imagined that this young scavenger could be so strong!

At this moment, he regretted immensely, wishing he could give himself a hard slap.

Wang Teng wasn’t simply lucky; he truly had the power to kill Elite-level Characters.

Ironically, Shi Yu didn’t realize the extent of reality, and now came to face his end!

Shi Yu instantly thought of many things, his expression growing more and more unsightly.

"Don’t... don’t kill me. I have a Spiritual Talent, surely of use to you. Rest assured, I’m willing to be your follower!"

Shi Yu pleaded in terror, hoping Wang Teng would spare his life.

He knew that dying here would mean complete annihilation.

"Appreciate the kind offer, but I’m more at ease using the talent myself!"

"Slash!"

Wang Teng smiled indifferently, the sword glinting sharply.

Shi Yu fell face down in terror, and the reluctance in his eyes gradually faded away...
