He just fought silently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silent Marathon, was it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu remembered; Old Zheng still had this card, which explained why Old Zheng didn't speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He subconsciously began to simulate the scene at that time. It is actually very difficult for Warriors to escape when facing a Demon King, unless their positioning is very far back...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless they are a Formation Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon discovering they couldn't escape, Old Zheng could only choose to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps at that moment, what Old Zheng was thinking was to at least save a few more Warriors, so that at the very least, the possibility of defeating the Demon King would be a little higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all... Old Zheng didn't know his trump cards at all; he must have assumed that these Warriors might be able to help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The facts were indeed so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Demon King appeared at the crossroads of Area Four, when the crowd had no ability to retreat...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai made the bravest decision and resolutely went to his death. His thought was indeed to preserve as many Warriors as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know Wen Xishu’s trump cards; he just thought that if a few more Warriors survived, Wen Xishu’s pressure would be a little less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu understood Zheng Zai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guilt, self-reproach, anger, sadness—various emotions, like a night curtain obscuring the sky, made the entire world become dark and gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could it be Old Zheng. How could it be Old Zheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He repeated this sentence, and because this sentence was incomprehensible to others, it was not misinterpreted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as Wen Xishu repeated this sentence, coupled with the dangerous aura he radiated, the Warriors retreated even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, Wen Xishu looked at these people coldly, and in the end, did not kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose to head toward Area Three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, these Warriors should have followed Wen Xishu, but when someone tried to approach him, Wen Xishu’s gaze fell upon him, scaring the person into retreating repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For Old Zheng’s sake, I won't kill you; if you don't want to die, get lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sentence was naturally \"mockery-fied\" as well, but Wen Xishu didn't care what these people thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked toward Area Three; at first, he was at a normal speed, gradually it turned into a jog, and later, it turned into a sprint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Warriors in Area Four felt as if they had seen a sprinting Grim Reaper; it was foreseeable that if there was also a Demon King in Area Three, it would surely die a miserable death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn't dare to follow Wen Xishu; they thought that since Wen Xishu came from the direction of Area Five, then there shouldn't be a Demon King there, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, they headed toward Area Five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Area Two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai was breathing heavily; he still felt lingering fear regarding his recent experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had almost been eaten by the Demon King. He had even felt the Demon King’s teeth, sharp enough to bite through armor, and its foul stench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next instant, Zheng Zai appeared in a relatively safe area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason it was called relatively safe was because a great battle had occurred here not long ago, and the Demon King had already left; that powerful Demon King had headed toward Area One.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I... I didn't die? Is it the Magic Energy Card? Right! I have a Magic Energy Card! Hahahaha, I didn't die! Thank you, Brother Wen! Thank you, Heavens! Thank you, everyone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he could not speak, internally, Zheng Zai was crazily grateful to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, he had been thinking, is this the karmic retribution for eating others? That he would ultimately be eaten by a monster...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Zheng Zai truly regretted not being able to hold back the Demon King for a while longer to let more warriors survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Zheng Zai became excited:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great! After a great disaster, there must be future blessings! Hehe, I forgot, I still have the Magic Energy Card, Scarecrow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Scarecrow can transfer fatal damage three times and teleport the user to a relatively safe location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Wen Xishu also knew about Zheng Zai’s card...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But concern leads to chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai was not a brainless brute; he immediately observed the situation around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A great battle happened here... Judging by the orientation of the warriors' corpses, they were likely planning to retreat toward Area One.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looking at it this way, the Demon King must have walked toward Area One; I’d better go to Area Three.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai made up his mind and headed toward Area Three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Area Three was not safe either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there were twenty-three Demon Kings. Although three Demon Kings had died, there were still twenty left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a small portion of the Demon Kings had fallen, but over fifty percent of the warriors were already dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strictly speaking, there were no truly safe areas at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost every area had a Demon King, and a few areas even had more than one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Area Three, Demon King No. 1 was toying with everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven Formation Warriors tried to escape the teasing of Demon King No. 1, but as it happened... Demon King No. 1’s card was a Magic Energy Card named \"Space-Time Useless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, everyone lost their space-time abilities, and their speed decreased by thirty-five percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those Formation Warriors who had only managed to escape from Demon King No. 22 not long ago by abandoning their teammates in Area Eleven...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now began to face a doom they could not escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, did the formation fail? That’s not good; how should I kill you all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me guess how you suddenly appeared in Area Three. Did you run away?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You betrayed your teammates, gave up the fight, and fled to Area Three, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon King No. 1 looked seriously at one of the Formation Warriors, who dared not hide the truth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry... Please spare us! We are willing to pledge our loyalty to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon King No. 1 shook its head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk tsk, that won't do. How about this: you few fight each other, and the one who survives in the end gets to live.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before becoming a monster, Demon King No. 1 had once faced the teasing of an Elite-type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Elite-type had said the same thing to it: you fight each other, and the one left standing can leave safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To survive, Demon King No. 1 had killed everyone back then, and it had indeed survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those people... were all its relatives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had offered no resistance, tacitly leaving the chance of survival to Demon King No. 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Demon King No. 1 began to turn cruel, the last bit of kindness in its heart vanished, and its favorite game was to find groups of humans carefully surviving in the apocalypse...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then force them to kill each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it had never sought out the Elite-type that had caused its family to die miserably back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it had become an Elite-type itself, it only dared to find those weaklings who were in the same situation it once was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahahahahahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon King No. 1’s laughter was very exaggerated, carrying a morbid, twisted pleasure; watching the few Formation Warriors beat each other, it felt exceptionally delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, its laughter stopped, because a sword gleam appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the card \"Space-Time Useless\" made trajectories, attack speed, movement speed, and casting speed all slow down...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet that sword gleam was still fast, so fast that Demon King No. 1 needed to muster 120,000 percent of its focus to dodge it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the moment the sword gleam was dodged, it felt as if it were breathing in the presence of the Grim Reaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those Formation Warriors stopped in their tracks at this moment, as if they had seen a savior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next second, a sword gleam flashed, and the heads of the seven Formation Warriors slid off their necks in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, more sword gleams appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were like vengeful ghosts from hell, pouncing toward Demon King No. 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon King No. 1 was terrified by this absolute will to slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All along, its life had been—toying with the weak, avoiding the strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It understood too well what a strong person was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Demon King No. 11 who had died not long ago, No. 1 made a judgment immediately: run!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a god of slaughter; Demon King No. 1 could tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had no time to think about why a Sword Warrior could intimidate a Demon King like itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it knew this Sword Warrior was extraordinary and definitely not someone it could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most terrifying thing was that this Sword Warrior was too cold-blooded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Formation Warriors who were also warriors... logically, he should have played the role of a savior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't even think about it, directly raising his hand and swinging his sword to kill all the Formation Warriors!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That gaze, indifferent to the extreme, made even Demon King No. 1 afraid!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It expanded \"Space-Time Useless\" to the limit, thinking of using the characteristics of \"Space-Time Useless\" to drag down the opponent's pace and run away frantically!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had indeed increased the distance between itself and that murderous Sword Warrior. But just when it thought it could escape, suddenly, the same \"Space-Time Useless\" effect...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was actually applied to itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its speed also slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the same time, it saw a Shield Warrior coming from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it being pincered from front and back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, a small Shield Warrior was not enough to intercept Demon King No. 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Demon King No. 1 had already been scared out of its wits by the suddenly appearing, extraordinary super Sword Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those sword gleams, which seemed to carry the power of karma, pursued it relentlessly like a viper strike; in its memory, warriors shouldn't have such abilities!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the anomalies made Demon King No. 1 begin to fear warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially this kind of warrior who acted alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also led to Demon King No. 1, upon seeing that the Shield Warrior in front was actually alone, instinctively turning its body around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that Shield Warrior also had great presence; facing the charging Demon King, he actually stood in place, motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This presence of standing firm in the face of a Demon King made Demon King No. 1 certain that it was being pincered by two super-powerful beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too terrified, and thus made a fatal mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation where it could have escaped was wasted by its own cowardice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it turned around, that god-of-slaughter-like Sword Warrior came with his hundreds of sword gleams, as if a king were passing by with an army of thousands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death blew across Demon King No. 1’s body like a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this destined end, at the moment of death, Demon King No. 1 seemed to see the family members it had once killed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon King No. 1 died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body had been slashed into thousands of pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu, in a state of rage, was now a moving Grim Reaper on the entire battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Grim Reaper was preparing to continue creating death and kill the warriors in front as well...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That familiar aura suddenly made the Grim Reaper pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu was stunned again, then looked up and heard a familiar voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great—ah!

Old Zheng really wouldn't die so easily; after all, he still had a Magic Energy Card on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for Zheng Zai, he was also incredibly excited at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation just now had scared Zheng Zai to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai had originally been thinking about walking toward Area Three, but before he reached the intersection of Area Three...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw a Demon King sprinting over; he swore that at that moment, he felt like he saw a dump truck crashing toward him, intending to take him to another dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was frozen in terror, his whole body unable to move, standing perfectly still. Coupled with the useless slowing effect of space-time, it made Zheng Zai feel as if his body had become heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply stood there, motionless, waiting for death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unexpectedly, a miracle occurred; the one who died was not him, but Demon King No. 1. For some reason, Demon King No. 1 had turned around, and thus a dense barrage of slashes landed upon Demon King No. 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon King No. 1 was just like that, sliced into countless pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai’s brain had crashed. What kind of powerhouse could possibly ravage a Demon King like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to open his mouth to beg for mercy; after all, he was the only one here, with no one worth protecting, so begging for mercy wasn't shameful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment the word \"mercy\" from \"good man, spare my life\" left his lips... Zheng Zai suddenly realized, wait, I can actually talk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately realized that the person who had slain the Demon King was none other than Brother Wen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive surge of ecstasy overwhelmed Zheng Zai, and he began waving his arms frantically, greeting Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai didn't know what mood Wen Xishu was in, but he himself was in a great mood now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sense of security brought by Wen Xishu slaying the Demon King... was just too overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Wen Xishu gave Zheng Zai the feeling of being the well-deserved number one person in the Weird Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even thought that even if it were Xun Hui, or those top-tier existences on the Heaven Ladder Ranking of the Slaughter Tower, they might not necessarily be able to save him as dashingly as Brother Wen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai was incredibly excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is a Demon King! In front of the future strongest of my bunker, they can only wait for death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Zheng was so excited he wanted to cry; after all, the situation had just reversed from life and death, a massive fall followed by a massive rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Wen Xishu gradually transitioned from excitement to calmness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Old Zheng, who was shouting and waving frantically over there, Wen Xishu also experienced a huge change within his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His self-reproach and guilt had diminished quite a bit, though they had not completely faded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, after those feelings of anger and sorrow ebbed away, he just smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no awareness or pride in being the number one person in the Weird Tower; at this moment, Wen Xishu only felt that his own raw strength was still too weak...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must become stronger to be able to protect his friends well in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the territory of life, he feared the sudden disappearance of those who walked into his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he was lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing his way from Area Eleven all the way to Area Three, Wen Xishu had finally found Old Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great, Old Zheng, great, you're still alive! Heaven has not been unkind to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu really wanted to say, thank you for being alive, it makes me feel like I’m not a piece of trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zheng Zai’s proud words interrupted him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s amazing, brother, that was a Demon King! You are simply too divine! I am so lucky to have found a teammate like you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Wen Xishu suddenly found it quite funny; so this is what a friend is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though everyone’s situation was different, when they met, they both made the same exclamation: \"We are so lucky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu let out a long breath:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I cannot control the overall situation of this Weird Competition, and to avoid complications... Old Zheng, from here on out, I might be a bit bloody.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent there being a fourth round, a fifth round, a sixth round...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu decided that right here in the third round, he would have all the survivors eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without him, these warriors would also die at the hands of other Demon Kings; compared to being toyed with by monsters with twisted personalities like Demon King No. 1... Wen Xishu felt his slaughter was quite merciful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Wen Xishu’s words could have had mocking versions, but the meaning was more or less the same... and Zheng Zai didn't feel there was anything wrong with it:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, brother, I’ll listen to you. It’s just that I’m too weak and might not be able to help much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rewards for this Weird Competition might be very interesting, and your existence itself has already helped me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patting Zheng Zai on the shoulder, Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go, Old Zheng, let’s go and slaughter our way through this arena.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3961,"2026-06-20T04:46:43.057Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","7e3039ac07ce923e8a0ea1e96996a61615d58279575cd13f6f63d7fbef0dbe48","the-three-towers-game-chapter-256","the-three-towers-game-chapter-254",281,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-three-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
