Zhang Ergou, gun in hand, headed straight for a disciple of the Liuhai Sect who was fiercely battling Wang Teng.
The Liuhai Sect disciple's cultivation and strength were clearly far superior to Wang Teng's, who was struggling to cope.
As Zhang Ergou approached them, it seemed Wang Teng's weapon was about to be knocked from his opponent's grasp.
Seeing the opponent's offensive becoming increasingly fierce, Wang Teng found it even more difficult to respond.
The opponent was constantly attacking, leaving Wang Teng with no choice but to passively parry.
*Clang!*
Wang Teng's weapon collided with his opponent's, emitting a loud noise. Wang Teng's hand trembled uncontrollably from the impact.
It seemed his weapon was about to fly out of his hand.
Wang Teng, almost in despair, closed his eyes. The gap in cultivation and strength filled him with hopelessness.
*Bang!*
The anticipated strike from his opponent never landed. Instead, Wang Teng heard a loud bang.
Wang Teng quickly opened his eyes and saw that his opponent, who had been locked in a fierce battle with him moments before, was now lying on the ground.
His eyes were tightly shut, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He was clearly not lightly injured.
"Er Gou, was that you who helped me?"
Wang Teng looked at everything in disbelief. When he saw Zhang Ergou, he quickly accepted it.
"You rascal, couldn't you pick a weaker opponent!"
Wang Teng was speechless and rolled his eyes. Who among them was weak, anyway? Was everyone like you, Zhang Ergou?
However, with Zhang Ergou's help, he was indeed much relieved. With his opponent dealt with, Wang Teng was free to act.
Following Zhang Ergou, he moved towards the group battle involving Xiao Qingyu and others.
"Qin Wen, be careful!" Ling Feng'er, entangled by Chen Gong and unable to break free, had eyes everywhere. Seeing Zhang Ergou dispatch another Liuhai Sect disciple, her anger flared.
Seeing Zhang Ergou leading an unfamiliar guy towards her teammate, she immediately shouted a warning.
The guy following Zhang Ergou didn't look like a good person at all, evident from his lecherous grin.
If Wang Teng knew Ling Feng'er thought of him that way, who knows how he'd feel.
But for now, he was following closely behind Zhang Ergou, venting his anger.
In the previous rounds of competition, his opponents had been either his equals or weaker than him.
Wang Teng had dealt with them with relative ease. However, during the recent melee, he had been constantly suppressed.
Wang Teng had long been holding back a bellyful of frustration. While his opponent was eliminated with Zhang Ergou's assistance, his own anger remained unvented.
Xiao Qingyu swung his two large hammers, wildly attacking his opponent. Although his opponent was stronger than him, with Xiao Qingyu's uninhibited attacks, the two were locked in a fierce, evenly matched battle.
"See, Xiao Qingyu is fighting his opponent to a standstill."
As they approached, Zhang Ergou continued to describe Xiao Qingyu's fight to Wang Teng, completely disregarding Wang Teng's increasingly displeased expression.
"Zhang Ergou, has anyone ever told you you're annoying?"
Wang Teng's momentary gratitude towards Zhang Ergou had long vanished, replaced by resentment.
To poke at his heart with a shrimp, what kind of joke was that? While he was ostensibly praising Xiao Qingyu, wasn't he actually belittling himself? Wang Teng was furious.
"Oh dear, you can't handle it? If you can't handle it, then cultivate properly! Just beat your opponents until they cry for their mothers."
Zhang Ergou turned and said to his nominal senior brother.
"I can't be bothered with you." Wang Teng, furious, charged with his weapon towards Qin Wen's back.
Qin Wen, warned by Ling Feng'er, had been diligently guarding against any approaching threats. Wang Teng's enraged charge, instead of harming him,
nearly caused him to be struck by Qin Wen's punch. If Wang Teng hadn't dodged in time, he would likely have been crippled.
"See, what did I tell you? This is the result of not cultivating diligently."
Seeing Wang Teng nearly get hit, Zhang Ergou not only didn't intervene but stood by, shaking his head and commenting.
"Zhang Ergou, come here and help!"
Xiao Qingyu also noticed Zhang Ergou and Wang Teng and rejoiced.
"Combat is the best way to test and improve your strength. That guy is only at the peak of the early Golden Core stage, slightly stronger than you two.
I'll watch from the side; you two deal with him yourselves."
Zhang Ergou did not rush to help Xiao Qingyu defeat his opponent. Instead, he stood aside, holding his Ghost Spear Tianwen, and observed the incoming threats.
Seeing that Zhang Ergou wasn't going to help Xiao Qingyu, but that Wang Teng, who was much weaker than Zhang Ergou, was, Qin Wen felt reassured.
Although his cultivation wasn't much higher than Xiao Qingyu's and Wang Teng's,
he had been a cultivator who had broken through to the early Golden Core stage for a longer time, with sufficient accumulation, and breaking through to the middle Golden Core stage was only a matter of time.
Facing Wang Teng and Xiao Qingyu, who were weaker than him, he felt no great pressure.
His previous draw against Xiao Qingyu was merely due to Xiao Qingyu's weapon's unusual nature. As for defeating Qin Wen, it was a pipe dream.
And Wang Teng seemed even weaker than Xiao Qingyu.
Therefore, facing the two of them, Qin Wen felt no pressure at all.
When Wang Teng and Xiao Qingyu heard that Zhang Ergou wasn't coming to help, their faces immediately fell.
However, if Zhang Ergou wouldn't help them, they could only rely on themselves.
Fortunately, with the two of them attacking Qin Wen from both sides, they were able to fight fiercely, and the two sides were locked in an intense battle.
"Wang Teng, attack his lower body. Qingyu, strike his chest."
However, as Qin Wen, Wang Teng, and Xiao Qingyu were engaged in a heated battle, Zhang Ergou, who was watching from the side, suddenly spoke.
"Shameless!" Qin Wen cursed.
Upon hearing Zhang Ergou's words, Wang Teng and Xiao Qingyu both acted as he instructed. Suddenly, Qin Wen became flustered.
If he protected his lower body, his chest would inevitably be struck fiercely by Xiao Qingyu.
If he dodged the strike to his chest, his lower body would surely be hit by Wang Teng. Su Dan Novels.
In an instant, Qin Wen transformed from an attacker to a passive defender. The speed of this role reversal caused Ling Feng'er, who had been closely watching Zhang Ergou, to frown.
Initially, when Zhang Ergou stood by without intervening, Ling Feng'er had secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, with Zhang Ergou's verbal guidance, Xiao Qingyu and Wang Teng suddenly displayed great prowess, and the situation reversed in an instant.
"Wang Teng, strike his left shoulder. Xiao Qingyu, pat his back."
Zhang Ergou continued to instruct Wang Teng and Xiao Qingyu. Having benefited from his advice, Wang Teng and Xiao Qingyu obediently followed Zhang Ergou's instructions.
*Puff!*
Qin Wen, unable to dodge in time, was fiercely struck on the back by Xiao Qingyu's hammer. He spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled.
"While he's wounded, strike for his life!"
Without Zhang Ergou needing to say anything further, Xiao Qingyu and Wang Teng attacked simultaneously. Qin Wen, already at his limit, was in no condition to withstand two full-force attacks.
*Puff!*
Qin Wen spat out another mouthful of blood and fell straight to the ground.
...
"Let's go, save Senior Sister Lu Xiaoyu."
Ignoring Qin Wen, who lay on the ground, Zhang Ergou led the two towards another direction.
