From Cellar to Throne: Zen's Quest for Immortality novel Chapter 26

"Hum, despite being at the organ refining level, you are physically hard. Nonetheless, you are going to die here today. I will refine your body when you die to compensate for my losses!" said Evil Lan. With these words, he swooped toward Zen with a burst of shadows.

"Ping!" The sword cut Zen.

Another incision was seen on him. A moment later, blood gushed from Zen's wound.

"Bang!"

"Bump!"

Every time Evil Lan attacked him, a terrible wound could be seen on Zen's body.

The situation was disheartening for Zen. Although he was physically strong, he was not as fast as Evil Lan. With the advantage of speed on Evil Lan's side, Zen felt that there was a very real chance that Evil Lan might kill him.

In this case, he had no choice but to take a risk!

All of a sudden, Zen closed his eyes, and his arms fell to his sides. It seemed as though he had been defeated.

Since he couldn't catch Evil Lan, it was useless to keep trying.

"Giving up so soon, poor young man?" Evil Lan said contemptuously. Evil Lan was battle-hardened. When he saw that Zen had given up resisting, he raised an eyebrow. He knew better than to drop his guard for even a second. Without any hesitation, he continued to slash Zen at very high speed. Two more wounds were seen on Zen.

"Hey, hey, let me see what else you can endure!" Evil Lan continued.

His shrill laugh echoed off the walls as he lunged at Zen again. This time he seemed to slash at Zen one more time. Just as he neared Zen, Evil Lan changed direction and went round to Zen's back. Then his hands burst with blossoming lotus fire.

With another shrill laugh, Evil Lan approached Zen again. This time, he aimed for Zen's head. He was going to rip Zen's head off!

'The right time is coming!' Zen thought.

When Evil Lan was only seconds' away, Zen suddenly opened his eyes. He had been patiently waiting for this opportunity. Before Evil Lan could land his attack, Zen covered his head with his arms.

The moment Evil Lan touched Zen's arms, the young man grasped and squeezed Evil Lan's arms. At the same time, he firmly clasped Evil Lan's skinny arms. After that, Zen shouted," Get off my back!"
