Chapter 53: Come Any Closer and I'll Really Make a Move!
Those seven people were about to arrive any second now.
Zhou Han didn't have time to tease them anymore.
He immediately turned around.
Heh!
It's not like it's the first time I've seen it.
Why get so nervous?
Zhou Han didn't think much of it.
Of course, he wouldn't say that out loud. Some necessary excuses still had to be made.
"Don't worry, I just got here too. I've been nearsighted since I was a student—I didn't see anything!"
Zhou Han said with a calm smile, his face not even blushing and his heart not skipping a beat.
After speaking, he turned his back to them.
His expression gradually darkened.
He walked toward the direction of those seven people.
He didn't know who they were.
And he didn't care who they were.
As long as they dared to provoke him, they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.
…
"Really? He's nearsighted?"
Han Qinxue asked with some doubt.
After all, Han Xiangning went to the same school as Zhou Han.
"Uh, I guess so! I'm not too sure either!"
Han Xiangning could only say that to comfort her.
Otherwise, if she admitted he wasn't nearsighted, then being seen naked twice would be confirmed.
"Are you sure?"
"Ah, stop thinking about it. Let's just get dressed first!"
It was one thing for Zhou Han to see them.
But if someone else saw them, that would be a huge loss.
…
Among the seven, Luo Badao walked at the front.
But his face showed a thoughtful expression.
What he was worried about was whether Zhou Han had too many helpers.
"If the other side has too many people later, I need to find a chance to get away."
Luo Badao kept calculating in his mind.
Without absolute certainty, he wouldn't make a move easily.
"You, come here. Take this coordinate and go check how many people Zhou Han has on his side. If there's anything unusual, report back immediately."
Luo Badao directly called over one of his underlings.
This underling had just reached level 10 today.
He was the weakest among the seven, and also the easiest to bully.
The other five people were also very supportive.
What else could they do? Go themselves?
If the other side had a lot of people and they got discovered, they wouldn't stand a chance of surviving.
No one here was stupid.
As for avenging Guo Mei and Luo Da, or restoring the reputation of Area 123—that was all just an excuse.
The real goal was Zhou Han's equipment and items.
If there were no benefits, who the hell would risk their life to take revenge for you?
"Boss Badao, I followed the coordinates and saw three people. One man and two women. That man should be Zhou Han."
Not long after, the scouting underling came back and reported.
"Three people? You saw clearly?"
"Crystal clear. No mistake."
"Then that's great! Looks like it was three against two—they used their numbers to kill Luo Da and Guo Mei."
One of them voiced his guess.
"Boss Badao, what are we waiting for? Let's just charge in. Seven against three—absolute advantage."
Another one was already eager, a greedy glint in his eyes.
Killing the three of them would bring even greater rewards.
"Let's finish this quickly. Don't give anyone else from Area 666 time to show up."
Luo Badao pondered for a moment before making the final decision.
His biggest concern had been Zhou Han's reinforcements.
Now that he heard there were only three people, his last bit of worry disappeared.
Very quickly, the seven of them arrived in front of Zhou Han, brimming with killing intent.
"So you're Zhou Han?"
Luo Badao narrowed his eyes, his voice cold.
"What's the matter? You looking for me? I don't think I've offended you, right?"
Zhou Han took a step back, pretending to be afraid, his eyes flickering nervously.
"You don't remember what you've done? You killed people from Area 123—did you think there'd be no consequences?"
"Daring to touch people from Area 123—you're courting death."
"Today we'll make you wish you were dead but unable to die!"
"Suffer, struggle, and then die!"
Seeing Zhou Han acting submissive, their arrogance only grew.
Their tone became even more aggressive, cruel smiles plastered across their faces.
"Y-you… what do you want? Don't come any closer! I'm really strong!"
Zhou Han pretended to be all bark and no bite.
It was obvious to everyone that he seemed guilty and scared.
"What's going on with Zhou Han?"
"Are they all here to deal with us?"
The sisters hurriedly asked.
They had also been fooled by Zhou Han's acting.
There were seven people on the other side!
And all of them were above level 10—they couldn't help but feel afraid.
If even Zhou Han couldn't handle them, then they definitely wouldn't stand a chance.
"Alright, you two step back. I'll handle this."
Zhou Han casually brushed them off and spoke softly.
"Oh ho, kid, you've got quite the luck with women—two such beautiful girls."
"Damn it, kill him! I'm so pissed—hogging two beauties all by himself."
"Kill him, and not only do we get his loot, we get the girls too."
"Let's go! That younger one is mine."
When Luo Badao's group saw the sisters, their eyes lit up instantly.
They had just finished bathing, looking like freshly emerged lotus flowers.
Their gazes were full of ill intent as they stared openly at them.
Thinking about how they could take the two women after killing Zhou Han, Luo Badao no longer bothered probing and directly sentenced Zhou Han to death.
"Zhou Han, today is your death day! Die!"
"Y-you guys… don't come any closer! If you come any closer, I'll really make a move!"
"Heh, go ahead and try! Today, even if you grow wings, you won't escape."
Led by Luo Badao, all seven of them wore bloodthirsty sneers.
They immediately activated their skills.
"Flame Blade!"
"Water Wave!"
"Explosive Flame Fist!"
Some were long-range, some were melee.
All of them attacked at once, determined to kill Zhou Han in a single strike.
"In the name of the Sword God, I command all swords under heaven—Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!"
Zhou Han didn't even bother looking at their attacks.
He directly unleashed his ultimate move.
This was the first time he had used it.
He wanted to see just how powerful it truly was.
As Zhou Han shouted,
a terrifying sword intent burst out from his body.
It hovered behind him.
In an instant, it split into two, then four, multiplying endlessly.
It was impossible to count how many sword phantoms there were—they grew denser and denser, forming a massive circle.
The entire space inside was filled with sword energy.
At this moment, Zhou Han's hair moved without wind, and his cloak fluttered wildly.
Like a descending Sword God, his sharp aura made it impossible to look directly at him.
"Slash!"
With that single word,
the sword phantoms obeyed and surged forward.
Flame Blade, Water Wave—before the ultimate sword intent,
they instantly collapsed, unable to resist at all.
"What? This… such terrifying power…"
"What the hell is this skill? How can it be this strong?"
"Impossible! Wasn't Zhou Han just scared to death?"
"Is he even a player? I think he's some old monster who's trained for decades!"
Terror filled their hearts.
The overwhelming sword intent rushed toward them.
That force—wild, sharp,
completely unstoppable and invincible.
Just one glance at it
made their scalps go numb.
They were so frightened that they lost their wits,
standing there frozen, not knowing what to do.
