Chapter 25: Leader Wang Teng, The Seven Heavenly Kings
The underlings felt a trace of fear in their hearts, but it was soon replaced by raging anger.
The guy in front of them really didn't know his place. Coming alone to stir up trouble—who gave him that kind of courage?
Not to mention Wang Teng's own strength, just the experts under his command alone could easily crush this guy.
The underlings were filled with confidence. As long as Wang Teng showed up, the matter would be easily resolved.
"Fine, I'll wait right here. I want to see just how capable this Wang Teng really is."
Zhou Han leaned casually against a tree, speaking with complete indifference.
"Kid, the more arrogant you are now, the more you'll regret it later. You've provoked Brother Teng—you're dead for sure."
Another underling shouted arrogantly.
"Hmm, what you said actually sounds pretty reasonable. I'll reward you with a sword strike first!"
A flash of sword light passed by, and the shouting underling was instantly reduced to nothing.
He had been yapping nonstop like a fly, irritating Zhou Han to no end.
As expected, after that strike, all the underlings present fell silent like frightened quails. They behaved much more obediently, though the anger in their eyes burned even fiercer.
The commotion here quickly drew a crowd.
Although they didn't dare provoke Wang Teng, their curiosity got the better of them, and they soon began whispering among themselves.
"Who is this young man? He's got guts to challenge Wang Teng—does he have a death wish?"
"Not long ago, Wang Teng instantly killed two people with B-grade talents. Judging from that, I suspect his talent is at least A-grade."
"Damn, that's terrifying. This kid is doomed—he messed with the wrong person."
"Young people just don't know their limits. Without experiencing the harshness of reality, they act recklessly."
"He's going to pay with his life. What a pity!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down. Wang Teng is here. If he hears us, we won't end well."
As the last person spoke, everyone fell silent.
Their gazes toward Zhou Han were filled with pity. Soon, he would become just another soul under Wang Teng's sword.
A young man with an imposing presence walked over. With sharp brows and bright eyes, he looked extraordinarily handsome and carried a powerful aura.
No wonder he always bragged about having the bearing of a great emperor—just his appearance alone was anything but ordinary.
Dressed in white, Wang Teng walked forward slowly, his demeanor elegant.
Seven people followed behind him. All of them possessed high-level talents and were known as the Seven Heavenly Kings.
Wang Teng's attention didn't first land on Zhou Han, but on the two women beside him.
Their beauty was simply overwhelming, radiant beyond comparison.
He froze for a moment, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes. This bastard was really damn lucky.
To have such peerless beauties by his side—and two of them at that.
Wang Teng felt extremely displeased. Compared to these two, the women around him were nothing but trash.
His expression darkened as he said, "Kid, you've got some nerve. You dare stir up trouble on my turf?"
"I do have some nerve. Didn't expect you to notice." Zhou Han picked at his ear and replied casually.
"Since you've got some talent, I'll give you a chance. Kneel down, kowtow three times, and become my underling. I'll spare your life today."
Wang Teng knew Zhou Han had killed his men, which proved he had some strength. If he could recruit him, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
"Hmm, not a bad suggestion. How about you cut off one of your own arms, and we'll call it even today?" Zhou Han said with a faint smile.
"Hahaha… Good. Very good. You're the first person who's ever dared to speak to me like this.
You've successfully angered me. All of you, attack together—break every bone in his body."
Wang Teng gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury.
Upon receiving the order, the Seven Heavenly Kings behind him launched their attack instantly.
Each of them was agile and powerfully built, pouncing toward Zhou Han like ferocious tigers.
In contrast, Zhou Han, who stood about 1.8 meters tall, appeared somewhat small compared to them.
All seven had vicious expressions, cruel smiles spreading across their faces.
"With all seven Heavenly Kings attacking together, that's basically a death sentence."
"This kid really pushed his luck too far. Now he's hit a steel wall."
"I've never seen anyone who dared oppose Wang Teng end well."
"If it were me, I'd just kneel and beg for forgiveness. Compared to life, what does dignity even matter?"
"You're absolutely right. Great minds think alike!"
The onlookers quickly lost interest.
With all seven attacking at once, there was no chance of survival. The outcome was obvious without even watching.
Everyone present knew exactly how strong the Seven Heavenly Kings were.
"Kid, die! In your next life, keep your eyes open—there are people you simply can't afford to provoke!"
The seven surrounded Zhou Han in an instant, their eyes gleaming with killing intent, expressions cold.
"Just you bunch of trash?" Zhou Han curled his lips in mockery.
"Hm? You're about to die and still don't realize it—ah…!"
The seven were about to say something ruthless, but suddenly, intense pain surged through their bodies.
After a few screams, they lost consciousness forever.
Their bodies, torn and broken, fell from midair, completely lifeless.
"What? You… how can you be this strong?"
Seeing the seven killed instantly, Wang Teng's heart trembled violently.
Even with his strength, defeating all seven working together would be extremely difficult.
Let alone killing them instantly?
The gap in strength was obvious at a glance.
He had clearly kicked an iron plate.
"You think you can kill me? You're still too green."
Zhou Han spoke calmly, as if he had just handled something trivial.
"Zhou? You… you're Zhou Han?"
Wang Teng suddenly recalled the legendary figure who had fought one against a thousand—Zhou Han.
With the surname Zhou and such overwhelming strength, who else could it be?
Who else could possess such power—and have two peerless beauties at his side?
Wang Teng figured it out instantly and was completely terrified. How could he be so unlucky to run into Zhou Han?
"You've got some insight. But you're about to become a corpse."
Zhou Han admitted it calmly, his tone devoid of emotion.
Hearing this, the surrounding crowd erupted into an uproar.
None of them had realized that this young man was actually Zhou Han.
Clearly, they hadn't been present during the world boss fight and didn't recognize his appearance.
But in the chat channels, Zhou Han's deeds had already spread far and wide.
No wonder he had the confidence to challenge Wang Teng alone.
Only Zhou Han had such courage and power.
"N-No, don't do this! I was blind to provoke you. Please spare me!"
Wang Teng's face was filled with terror as he begged repeatedly. His earlier arrogance and composure had completely vanished.
"Cut the weeds without removing the roots, and they'll grow back with the spring wind. You must die."
Zhou Han shook his head coldly.
