Chapter 38: Desperate Situation! Zhao Zheng Takes Action



The Heavy Armor Knight.

This was the hospitable "Baron Ling Lei" that the Sheriff had mentioned. Song Haitang was seeing this Baron Monster for the first time, and she couldn't help but observe him.

"Don't look into his eyes!!!"

Chen Kai quickly warned her.

But it was too late.

Under the dim, bloody light, the Heavy Armor Knight's eyes were like two small black holes, involuntarily drawing Song Haitang's gaze.

When their eyes met, she instantly stifled a groan, her delicate body swaying slightly, almost falling.

She felt her mind being subjected to a powerful negative influence, causing severe adverse effects.

Fortunately, Song Haitang's mental attributes were strong, and her willpower far exceeded that of Chen Kai and the others, allowing her to endure.

However, she still experienced negative reactions like irritability, dizziness, and nausea.

Song Haitang forced herself to endure it all.

Then, her heart was filled with shock.

This monster...

Was so powerful? Just a glance from him was enough to cause a mental shock?

Suddenly, Song Haitang remembered her father's warning from before. In the Spirit Realm, there were extremely sinister and terrifying beings with the ability to 'Unstareable', which could induce negative emotions in those who gazed upon them.

If one's willpower was insufficient, looking into their eyes would result in adverse emotional reactions, ranging from losing the will to fight to, in severe cases, descending into madness and becoming a monster that didn't recognize their own family.

Her father had solemnly told her that if she encountered such a bizarre being in the Spirit Realm, she should flee and avoid them at all costs.

...

What surprised Song Haitang was that even in the first layer of the Spirit Realm, there was such a monster.

Wasn't this far beyond the expected standards?

No wonder Jiang Hebin and the others had lost their fighting spirit at the sight of the Baron.

If they couldn't even look at the monster, how could they possibly fight it? Song Haitang was unwilling to give up, gritting her teeth. She raised her head once more, staring directly at the Heavy Armor Monster.

This time, with preparation, it was slightly more bearable.

However, under the intense gaze of the Heavy Armor Monster, it was impossible for her to unleash her full combat power.

Being able to exert seven-tenths of her strength was already impressive.

Earlier, Chen Kai and the others couldn't even withstand a single glance from the monster.

Song Haitang didn't believe that her seven-tenths combat power could withstand such a monster.

In other words, their chances of survival were slim.

Thinking of this, Song Haitang's already pale face lost even more color.

"How could there be such a monster in the first layer of the Spirit Realm?"

Song Haitang muttered to herself.

This wasn't a miscalculation on her part; she hadn't even considered this possibility!

"Song Haitang, thank you for trying to save us," Chen Kai said, unable to look at the Baron, his expression grave. With determination, he repeated his previous suggestion, "When the monster comes, I'll buy you some time. Run!"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hebin, who had been scared back to his senses, spoke up, "Yeah! Haitang, these monsters are afraid of your fire. Among us, you're the only one who might escape. I'll also try to buy you time... If you manage to get out, could you do me a favor?"

Song Haitang sighed, "What is it?"

Originally, she had no respect for Jiang Hebin, a coward who feared for his life.

But now, her opinion of him had changed.

"If you make it back alive, I want you to deliver a message to my father. Tell him that his son has forgiven him..."

Song Haitang was speechless.

One of their teammates couldn't help but remind him, "Brother Hebin, this is the Memory Loss Spirit Realm. Even if Haitang manages to get out, she'll lose her memories too!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hebin froze, then broke down, howling in despair! At that moment,

The sound of horse hooves abruptly stopped.

Song Haitang looked up and saw the heavily armored monster standing before them, less than fifty meters away.

Jiang Hebin's cries abruptly ceased.

His face once again revealed a look of despair and fear.

The Tri-Kingdoms trio were so startled that they retreated, yet they dared not look at the heavily armored monster.

The only one standing firm and facing the monster was Song Haitang.

"Pfft!"

Flames reignited in the girl's hands.

Her delicate face was filled with determination.

It seemed she was prepared to fight the monster to the end.

Upon seeing this, the heavily armored monster dismounted from its horse.

The horse was no ordinary creature; it was exceptionally robust and tall, and like its master, it wore heavy armor.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that beneath the armor, the horse had no skin, only crimson flesh and blood.

It was clearly a monster as well!

As the heavily armored monster approached, all the aberrations along the way bowed deeply, completely prostrating themselves on the ground.

The atmosphere was filled with intense authority.

After a moment.

The heavily armored monster halted its steps once more.

It was now less than twenty meters away from Song Haitang.

Staring at Song Haitang, the monster suddenly spoke in a human language.

"Kneel!"

These two words carried the force of a shockwave, spreading out.

Jiang Hebin, Chen Kai, and the others were struck like by lightning, falling to the ground.

Song Haitang's delicate body swayed slightly.

But the girl was resilient.

She pursed her lips, her face cold, yet she stood firm.

At this moment, Song Haitang spotted Zhao Zheng hiding amidst the crowd.

However, she pretended not to notice him, standing her ground against the heavily armored monster, her slender body exuding stubbornness.

At this point, she didn't want Zhao Zheng to expose himself...

The monster before her was indeed overwhelmingly powerful, leaving them in despair.

Just then.

The heavily armored monster across from them, seeing that Song Haitang hadn't obeyed its command, seemed enraged.

It swiftly drew a pistol from its waist and casually swung it towards Song Haitang.

"Ouch!"

A piercing sonic boom resounded.

The pistol flew like a large-caliber bullet, tearing through the air and reaching Song Haitang in an instant.

The girl's eyes widened in shock. Only then did she realize the vast difference in strength between her and the monster.

The weapon casually swung towards her was impossible to block, let alone dodge.

The crisis of death enveloped Song Haitang's entire body in an instant.

Just as the girl believed her death was certain, a strange occurrence happened!

"Collapse!"

A peculiar sound echoed.

Song Haitang felt her vision blur for a moment, and the pistol halted right in front of her.

It was less than a meter away from her chest!

The pistol had suddenly stopped because a strong hand had intercepted it, firmly grasping the weapon.

Then, a tall figure appeared.

"Haitang, well done!"

The person flashed a smile at her and said, "This little thing is a bit tricky. From now on, leave it to me!"
