Chapter 232: Geniuses Are Meant to Be Exploited, Worthy of the "Golden" Name
Bzzmm—
A faint white light flashed. The Monitoring Dominion Angel pushed forward the shield on its arm, forcefully driving the Headhunter Rabbit back.
His legs slid uncontrollably for some distance.
"Hah... Hah..."
The Headhunter Rabbit opened his mouth, panting heavily. Having just used several Martial Arts in one breath, his entire body was already feeling the soreness and pain of muscle strain.
However, compared to the physical toll, he was far more aware of the danger he was in. The long ears on his head twitched; without turning around, he already knew the Tranquility Dominion Angel was closing in from behind.
With the Monitoring Dominion Angel in front and the Tranquility Dominion Angel behind, the two Fourth-Tier angelic monsters had completely sealed off all his routes of escape.
Faced with such a predicament, the Headhunter Rabbit was decisive. He raised his hands above his head, palms open to show his calloused hands, and shouted cleanly and clearly in Tang Zheng's direction, "I surrender!"
This monster!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The Monitoring Dominion Angel and the Tranquility Dominion Angel didn't pause for a moment. In an instant, they arrived in front of and behind the Headhunter Rabbit, trapping him in a pincer attack.
The short-handled iron hammer and the spear-like staff, both glowing with a faint white light, were raised simultaneously. Along with them came Tang Zheng's voice:
"If you can survive, then we'll talk."
Holy Hammer!
Strike Against Evil!
The weapons in the hands of the Monitoring Dominion Angel and the Tranquility Dominion Angel swung down at the same time. A stunning impact instantly enveloped the figure in the shadows.
The Headhunter Rabbit's pupils constricted, shot through with blood. He rapidly raised his arms to parry the attacks from two directions, roaring:
"Pain Nullification!"
"Possibility Perception!"
"Magic Resistance Reinforcement!"
"Outer Skin Reinforcement!"
"Unyielding Fortress!"
BOOM!
A massive, deafening crash exploded, followed by a sky-high plume of blood mist and minced flesh.
Thud—
A dark object flew out from between the Tranquility Dominion Angel and the Monitoring Dominion Angel, then fell from the sky, hitting the ground and rolling over.
Tang Zheng lifted his foot and stepped on the dark object. He looked down at the Headhunter Rabbit's mangled head and shook his own in disappointment. "What a pity."
"If you had managed to survive, I really wouldn't have minded having a proper talk with you."
Oh?
Tang Zheng tilted his head, a smile on his face as he looked toward a figure in the distance to his front-left.
"You brat! Don't think you've beaten me with a single blow! I am..."
Brain, holding his longsword, looking disheveled yet burning with excitement, charged back from the direction he'd been sent flying, yelling as he came.
But halfway through his sentence, his voice came to an abrupt halt.
Brain's body froze in place. He stared at the two three-meter-tall Fourth-Tier angels floating in mid-air behind Tang Zheng, exuding a terrifying aura.
A short while ago, he had been sent flying by the Tranquility Dominion Angel. This was the second time he had been defeated since losing the Royal Court Tournament.
This gave Brain a long-lost feeling of boiling blood and excitement. That Tranquility Dominion Angel was incredibly strong, making him feel pressure once again.
And that was exactly what he had been searching for!
So, after chugging a healing potion he carried, Brain had quickly rushed back, just in time to see the Headhunter Rabbit being utterly obliterated by the two Fourth-Tier angels.
The splattering minced flesh and blooming flowers of blood!
They made Brain's open mouth snap shut. His eyes met Tang Zheng's smiling gaze for a brief moment.
Without a shred of hesitation!
Brain turned and fled. He even used a Martial Art to push his speed to the absolute limit, vanishing into the distance in a puff of smoke, leaving only his retreating back in view.
He wanted an opponent who could pressure him, but that didn't mean he was looking to die.
One Fourth-Tier angel was already a threat to him; against two, he would undoubtedly die!
Faced with Brain's immediate escape, Tang Zheng was momentarily stunned, a strange look appearing on his face as he watched the rapidly disappearing figure. "That really fits his personality."
"Forget it. I'll let him live for now."
The current Brain had only recently been defeated by Gazef and was just beginning to shed his arrogant, unrivaled-warrior mindset.
He had yet to truly unleash his talent. It would be too much of a waste for him to die now. Tang Zheng planned to obtain the Martial Arts that Brain would develop.
Brain probably hadn't mastered the Martial Art "Domain" yet.
Speaking of which, Brain was truly a genius. In just a few short years, he not only developed Martial Arts like "Domain" and "Instant Flash" but even evolved them into stronger versions like "Divine Domain" and "God Flash."
"Such a genius... it would be a true waste of such talent not to exploit him thoroughly."
Watching Brain's pathetic figure gradually disappear, Tang Zheng's lips curved into a meaningful smile.
Instead of spending his own time and effort on research, wasn't it much faster to let these geniuses of the otherworld develop things for him?
When he had made his move earlier, Tang Zheng had already left a magical mark on Brain. From this moment on, he could track Brain's movements at any time.
With a wave of his arm, the Tranquility Dominion Angel and Monitoring Dominion Angel dissipated into white light sparks. A glance around revealed a field of corpses, testament to what had just transpired.
Tang Zheng walked to the front of the carriage and looked at Enri, who was still clutching her short sword, her face pale and stiff. He chuckled lightly, "Weren't you very brave just now? Why are you so scared again?"
"L-Lord, I, Lord..."
Enri's voice stuttered. Her pupils were red with fear, yet also held a trace of adoration.
The scene of her lord summoning those powerful angels had made Enri involuntarily recall the storybooks she had heard as a child.
"Blargh~"
As Enri's tense nerves finally relaxed, the thick stench of blood in the air rushed in, making her stomach churn.
Even though Enri felt she had come to understand the cruelty of being an adventurer, and had even seen quite a few corpses, the sight of so many bodies still made her limbs go weak.
Tang Zheng raised an eyebrow, turning his head with a look of slight distaste. At the same time, he was somewhat impressed that Enri had held on for this long.
On the numerous corpses littering the ground were many magic items. Tang Zheng had the ghoul dogs collect them.
Though he looked down on these ordinary magic items, they could be exchanged for money or given to his subordinates.
A moment later, Enri was huddled weakly in a corner of the carriage. The Green Leaf Witch had also returned; the entire Spreading Death Sword Group had been eliminated by the Twin Witches.
