Chronos looked at Zhang Heng’s back with complicated emotions flashing through his eyes. In the end, he did nothing but disappear from his spot.
As he left, time resumed its flow.
A gentle breeze blew past, and the leaves rustled once more. There was also the sound of insects chirping in the summer. The mountain seemed to have returned to its previous state.
However, Zhang Heng knew that this place was different from before. Zhang Heng was not too worried about the three major guilds. Even if there were too many people on the other side, he could still protect himself. However, if the gods made a move.., that would be a different matter.
Even though Zhang Heng had already killed a few gods, and they were all famous people, Zhang Heng knew that there was still a gap in strength between the two sides when it came to truly powerful people, for example, the brief exchange with Thor at the convenience store. Other than that, according to Chronos, there was more than one God that had come this time.
Perhaps the only good news for Zhang Heng was that the [ hidden scabbard ] in his hands seemed to be about to level up.
Because the game point had already closed, Zhang Heng had no place to authenticate it. However, he could still sense that he had already mastered the method to level up the [ hidden scabbard ] . After severing Ann’s scepter.., after destroying Poseidon’s trident, this B-grade item that he had spent a lot of money on seemed to be on the verge of leveling up.
However, this kind of upgrade method was a little too expensive.
Zhang Heng placed the little girl by the side of the road. After the time freeze was lifted, the little girl had regained her mobility. However, she was still a little confused as to why she had suddenly returned to Zhang Heng’s embrace from the sunglasses man’s side, that was until Zhang Heng said to her, “Let’s go and find your grandfather.”
However, the little girl did not leave immediately after hearing that. Instead, she looked at Zhang Heng with some reluctance.
Zhang Heng smiled when he saw this. “Each of us has a different path to take. My path can only be taken by me. You Can’t take it, so let’s stop here. Remember what I taught you.”
“Well said.”At that moment, a woman’s voice sounded.
Zhang Heng clearly heard the voice coming from his right hand, but when he looked over there, he did not see anyone.
At the same time he turned his head, a black crow suddenly flew down from the tree behind him. It used its sharp beak to peck at Zhang Heng’s neck. If it were to peck at his neck.., there was a high chance that a bloody hole would appear on Zhang Heng’s neck.
However, just as the Crow was about to succeed, a cold light flashed. In the next moment, its head and body were cut in two!
Zhang Heng stood under the tree with his [ hidden scabbard ] in his hand. A pensive look appeared on his face. “The goddess of the night, Nix?”
“I was one step ahead of the others because I know that one of my husbands must be secretly discussing something with you,”the female voice said. By saying so, she was admitting her identity.
In Greek mythology, Nix married her brother, the God of darkness and the Netherworld, Erebus. However, in the Orpheus Cult’s sacred words, she was believed to have three-phase bodies. One of her identities was that of Chronos’wife, her status was also equal to Chronos’.
However, no matter which mythological system it was, Nix was regarded as one of the powerful primitive gods. Of course, she was not as famous as Zeus or Thor, but she was definitely a tough character to deal with.
Most importantly, the day had passed, and the Earth was shrouded in darkness. It could be said that they had entered Nix’s home ground.
Zhang Heng had just experienced how powerful Poseidon’s trident was in the water. Facing Nix in the darkness, he naturally wouldn’t let his guard down.
However, not long after Zhang Heng finished off the Crow, another group of crows swooped down from the sky. There were more than twenty of them, and unlike ordinary crows, they were much larger, they were twice the size of ordinary crows, and their beaks were even harder, gleaming with a cold light.
However, their fate was no different from the first crow. In the blink of an eye, their heads were separated from their bodies, and they became the spirits of the dead under [ hidden scabbard ]’s blade.
These crows seemed to be attacking in unison, and their momentum was terrifying. However, there was still a difference in speed between them. It was this subtle difference that ordinary people could not catch that caused them to be chopped off one after another by Zhang Heng. However, Zhang Heng’s movements were too fast. It looked like he had only used one slash to end the battle.
The Crows’corpses fell to the ground. Not long after, they merged back into the darkness, leaving nothing behind.
“Good knife skills,”the female voice praised. “Let’s try this one more time.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Heng heard a rustling sound coming from the surrounding bushes. This time, it was a group of rats. They were also very big, and they were close to the rabbits, their bodies were all black, except for a pair of bloodthirsty red eyes.
Zhang Heng did not retreat. Instead, he waved the [ hidden scabbard ] in his hand to meet them. He forced his way through the group of rats, but this time, the number of rats around him was a bit exaggerated, it was as if there was no end to them. Very soon, Zhang Heng was surrounded by the group of Black Rats.
Even though [ hidden scabbard ]’s blade was still unbreakable, it was only a matter of time before Zhang Heng was bitten.
In fact, Zhang Heng’s speed had already slowed down. From his initial speed, he was now practically moving. Especially the last two steps, which took him half a minute to complete, but in the end, he still managed to push the rats to the edge of the stream.
Following that, Zhang Heng stepped into the stream. Surprisingly, the rats did not seem to be afraid of the water at all. They rushed forward to pounce on him. However, the next moment, the originally calm stream suddenly became turbulent, not only did it sweep away the rats that pounced on him, but the waves that it created also pushed the rats on the shore into the water.
Not long after, the large group of black rats was swallowed by the stream.
On the other hand, Zhang Heng’s position remained calm. The water even separated in front of his sneakers. Even his clothes were not wet.
“Is this a gift from the guy who lives in Laraya?”Nix clicked her tongue. “It is indeed as troublesome as the rumors say.”
“Likewise. Your Black Army is not easy to deal with either,”Zhang Heng said.
“This is only the beginning. I originally prepared six waves of warm-up attacks for you this time, but now it seems that the later waves are meaningless. As long as you stand by the water’s edge, no matter what animal I summon, you can control the flow of water to block it. Since that’s the case, let’s get straight to the point.”
“I’d love to,”Zhang Heng said as he tightened his grip on the [ hidden scabbard ] in his hand.
