SHOCK Chapter 43

Unfortunately, he was disappointed.

His opponent was truly amazing, in a situation already set in stone, the long blade he had overlooked managed to strike his own neck.

Filled with doubt and unwillingness, the knight fell from his horse, exhaling his last breath of defiance.

The baleful aura entered his body, strengthening his bones and muscles.

Zhou Wu felt his body being rapidly repaired, the intense pain quickly disappearing.

Turning around, long blade in hand, he looked at the knight on the far left.

That man, the moment he saw Zhou Wu kill the third knight, had turned his horse around and fled.

He was terrified by Zhou Wu’s swift killing of three people, desperately urging his horse to escape, having long abandoned the substantial reward and any sense of loyalty.

He could only run with all his might, slowly consuming his physical strength and energy, trying to calm this violent emotion.

The faster he ran, the more violently the baleful aura churned within him, making him want to soar into the sky, as if to fly away.

His blood and qi stagnated with the baleful aura, the feeling of swelling in his body becoming lighter and lighter.

Zhou Wu was now like a pufferfish filled with air, about to explode at any moment.

If this continued, he would inevitably explode. Zhou Wu realized that this method couldn’t calm the baleful aura, and he forcibly stopped.

Standing in the night, he blankly looked at the surrounding weeds, then raised his head to look up at the starry sky.

Enduring the swelling of the baleful aura within him, he forced himself to calm down and began to silently recite the incantation.

Once he started reciting, he lost all sense of time, day turned into night.

He pondered a solution, it seemed that the incantation taught by Qingping was very effective.

But it wouldn’t completely eliminate the hidden danger in a short period, he needed to find a place to cultivate in peace for a while.

The sound of hooves rang out in the distance. In the distant wilderness, a white horse was slowly approaching.

In the sunlight, on a pure black steed, a person wearing a blue arrow-sleeved, front-buttoned jacket, wore a bamboo hat, obscuring the upper half of their face.

As they drew closer, Zhou Wu saw their mouth beneath the bamboo hat, red lips like a dot.

Embroidered shoes, moon-black trousers, a slender waist.

It was a woman.

She stopped her horse not far from Zhou Wu, and the two remained silent, facing each other.

“Hehe, Zhou Family Village, Region Chief Officer Zhou Wu.”

Her voice was clear and pure, pleasing to the ear.

The woman held up the riding whip and shook it in the air.

Zhou Wu smiled, “Then what is your real identity?”

“Looks like you’ll have to use your abilities to find out the truth.”

As she spoke, the woman drew two short spears from the horse’s back. The two-foot-long spears were covered in carvings, and the long, sharp blades shone brightly in the sunlight.

Zhou Wu thought the woman’s weapons were extremely exquisite, including her mount and all her equipment, she must be a famous figure in the Jianghu.

“What beautiful spears.”

Zhou Wu sincerely exclaimed.

“They are not only beautiful but also very sharp, you won’t feel any pain dying under their blades.”

Since the other party was going to attack, Zhou Wu wouldn’t just sit and wait for death.

He stood up and groped around with his hands, unfortunately, his weapons had all been dropped when he was running madly.

Including that sharp long sword.

He glanced around, besides weeds and dirt, there wasn’t even a hard stone.

The woman looked at him and laughed.

“Looking at your embarrassed appearance, how did you manage to kill so many experts?”

In the sunlight, the woman’s smiling face was like a hundred flowers blooming, giving a warm and pleasant feeling, a stark contrast to the cold blade in her hand.

The smile hadn’t even disappeared from her face when her body suddenly flew off her mount, flashing through the air, the icy blade was already approaching Zhou Wu’s back.

Zhou Wu could only retreat, dodging the biting chill.

But the woman’s movements were swift, her advance was much faster than his retreat.

Zhou Wu understood that this state couldn’t last long, perhaps in the next moment he would be stabbed to death by the woman’s spear.

Gritting his teeth, he had to resort to a desperate fighting style.

Seizing an opportunity, he first retreated, and when the woman followed, he suddenly lunged forward.

One short spear plunged into Zhou Wu’s abdomen.

Immediately afterwards, with Zhou Wu’s best effort to dodge, the other short spear avoided his heart and lungs, and pierced into his shoulder.

Ignoring the excruciating pain, Zhou Wu struggled backwards, grabbed the woman’s shoulders with both arms, and violently dragged her behind him.

The short spear pierced through his body, the tip emerging from his back, fresh blood spurting out along the blood groove of the spear.

But Zhou Wu also successfully pulled the woman into his arms, his hands reaching up and grabbing her fair and slender jade neck.

Using all his strength, Zhou Wu felt a wave of dizziness, knowing that he couldn’t hold on for more than a few seconds.

The woman’s bamboo hat was knocked off, revealing a face that was both charming and angry, exquisitely beautiful, a pair of beautiful eyes staring straight at Zhou Wu in surprise.

Both sides were exerting force, the short spears inside Zhou Wu’s body were being violently stirred by the woman.

And his own hands were also using all their strength to pull outwards.

Both were trying to kill the other before losing consciousness.

In Zhou Wu’s eyes, there was no beautiful woman, only an enemy of life.

Only a few seconds passed, Zhou Wu felt the strength in his body rapidly draining, his hands gradually losing strength.

The woman also felt his hands loosening a little, finally able to catch her breath slightly, her eyes regaining their brightness.

Zhou Wu felt that he was finished, in this fight to the death, he was completely going to lose.

He watched in despair as the fair, tender neck, which had been choked red, slowly slipped away from his hands, a hint of triumph appearing on that lightly recovering beautiful face.

She even leisurely brushed away the claw grabbing her chest with one hand, pulled out a snow-white handkerchief from her bosom, and gently wiped the soiled clothes.

Then, the woman raised one foot and stepped on Zhou Wu’s chest, grasping the spear shaft with both hands.

She wanted to pull out the twin spears and give Zhou Wu a more fatal blow.

Zhou Wu could feel the pain of the spear shaft being pulled out of his body, the blood spurting out even faster.

His brain was dizzy, his vision was blurring.

In reality, as long as the twin spears were pulled out of Zhou Wu’s body, there would be no need to bother any further.

The two were very close, face to face, but Zhou Wu’s eyes were blurred.

The woman’s triumphant smile gradually faded away.
