The van that arrived later.
Along with Zhang Deshuang, it formed a pincer attack on Zhou Yu.
Seeing the reinforcements arrive, Zhang Deshuang's eyes lit up.
He said smugly, "If you can't save Shaohua, then you'll be buried here forever!"
Zhou Yu turned his head and surveyed the newcomers with a look of near contempt.
When Zhou Yu looked back at Zhang Deshuang, his eyes were filled with mockery.
"You rely on these scrawny rats?"
"I have to say, ever since joining forces with the Shadow Organization, the Zhang family has been declining."
Zhou Yu believed his assessment was fair.
In Zhou Yu's opinion, Qi Wuzhe had taken a shortcut, gaining formidable strength in a short period, surpassing ordinary martial artists.
But what of it?
It came at the cost of their future.
Moreover, the success rate of being transformed into a Qi Wuzhe was not high.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that less than one in ten succeeded.
As for those who failed the transformation, they had already died in regret in the northwest.
This was also why Qi Wuzhe were strictly forbidden!
"Trash? You dare call the martial artists meticulously trained by my Zhang family trash?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Deshuang's face turned even redder. Enraged, he glared at Zhou Yu and roared.
He then decided there was nothing more to say and simply waved his hand.
All the Qi Wuzhe present lunged towards Zhou Yu!
On the surface.
Zhou Yu was alone, his strength at most at the Postnatal Dark Force level.
On Zhang Deshuang's side, the Qi Wuzhe, whether from the Zhang family or dispatched by the Shadow Organization, were mostly at the Postnatal Bright Force level.
There were even one or two who had glimpsed the threshold of Dark Force!
As the saying goes, a swarm of ants can drown an elephant.
Even if Zhou Yu possessed any heaven-defying abilities, he couldn't defeat so many people!
Zhang Deshuang stood not far away, a cruel smile playing on his lips.
He raised his head and looked at the distant night sky.
"Shaohua, your father will avenge you now!"
As the words fell.
Bang bang bang—
The Qi Wuzhe who had been aggressively surrounding Zhou Yu moments ago.
For some inexplicable reason, midway through their charge, they all seemed to lose strength in their legs and collapsed onto the ground.
Some even leaped up, aiming to attack Zhou Yu's head.
But they fell mid-air, like fluttering moths, struggling on the ground!
"How..."
Zhang Deshuang's eyes widened in disbelief and horror, his reaction one of extreme shock.
He had not underestimated Zhou Yu's strength.
The Qi Wuzhe he brought today were all Postnatal Bright Force level or higher.
And they were all successfully transformed Qi Wuzhe!
How could they suddenly stop in their tracks before Zhou Yu?
At this moment.
Zhou Yu raised his hand and waved the porcelain bottle he held.
With a beaming smile, he said, "See? Didn't I tell you?"
"They are nothing but a bunch of trash, too much of a bother even for a landfill."
The small porcelain bottle had no labels. From the outside, it was impossible to tell what was inside.
But Zhang Deshuang knew that it must contain a drug that targeted Qi Wuzhe!
Otherwise, so many Qi Wuzhe wouldn't have fallen, yet he alone remained standing!
"You..." Zhang Deshuang was so angry he felt like he was going to spit blood, veins bulging, his eyes wide with rage!
Zhou Yu, however, walked unhurriedly over the bodies of the fallen Qi Wuzhe.
Slowly approaching Zhang Deshuang.
Zhang Deshuang originally intended to turn and flee.
If the revenge failed today, he would try again tomorrow!
As long as he lived, there would be hope.
However.
Zhang Deshuang was astonished to find his body weakening, a sense of powerlessness washing over him.
No matter how he willed his legs to move, he couldn't budge an inch!
Seeing Zhang Deshuang still struggling.
Zhou Yu's smile grew even wider.
"Stop your futile struggle, it's useless!"
"Do you know what this is?"
"Speaking of which, I have to thank the information in the Shadow Organization's stronghold. This is an enhanced version of the Hypnosis Powder."
"It's mixed with quite a bit of medicinal herbs specifically targeting Qi Wuzhe!"
Qi Wuzhe were not without weaknesses.
On the contrary, their weaknesses were even more fatal than those of ordinary martial artists!
After all, the human body is a precise instrument.
Whether practicing ancient martial arts or other disciplines.
At its root, it involves changing the body from within, slowly adapting its structure to the circulation and transformation of true qi.
But Qi Wuzhe were different.
They had forcefully boosted their cultivation levels.
But in reality, many parts of their bodies were not adapted!
It's like a program; if it runs stably, don't change it easily.
Otherwise, bugs are likely to appear!
And now.
The ingredient Zhou Yu had found was precisely the bug for Qi Wuzhe.
It could incapacitate them without any effort.
Zhang Deshuang opened his mouth, his eyes widening in shock: "You actually..."
