Chapter 2069: Shameless
The Snow Lady didn’t think she could withstand an attack on that level. And yet, it wasn't the attack's power that shocked her, but rather something else. Her brows furrowed, and a hint of confusion flickered through her eyes. She almost seemed to be recalling something.
Meanwhile, Zu An didn’t seem that happy with his result. Instead, he looked at the pile of rocks with a frown.
Suddenly, the rocks began to move. Then, they flew toward each other and combined together. To Zu An and the Snow Lady's shock, the rock giant condensed once more.
When she saw that, the Snow Lady forgot about her earlier confusion and cried out in alarm, “It can regenerate automatically?”
“Regenerate?” Zu An repeated as he reflexively reached for the Immortal Beheading Knives. They just happened to counter strong regenerative abilities. However, when he looked at the giant's massive body and remembered that it was made of rocks, he put them away in the end. The Immortal Beheading Knives only worked when they injured the opponent. This thing’s defense was too strong, and it was made of rocks to begin with. The Immortal Beheading Knives wouldn’t be able to pierce through.
“I never expected a pervert like you to have this level of skill. I did underestimate you just now,” the rock giant said as it struck its chest and glared at the Snow Lady and Zu An.
You have successfully trolled the Iron Fist Rock for +358 +358 +358…
Zu An was a bit surprised. So the rock giant was named the Iron Fist Rock! Its fists really had been pretty heavy, come to think of it.
“But if you two fight against me, the only thing that awaits you is defeat and death!” the Iron Fist Rock roared, then turned at the waist and sent its fist flying at the two of them.
Even though there was over a kilometer between them, Zu An’s expression changed. He yelled, “Be careful!”
He could only ignore everything else for now. He held the Snow Lady’s hand and teleported several thousand meters to the side.
Boom!
A transparent fist projection smashed down on the location where they had just been. A massive ripple surged in the skies above, as if even space itself had collapsed in that area.
Zu An was shocked, because in that instant, he had actually seen the bright sky become pitch-black. He had even seen specks of starlight in the darkness.
This guy’s fist even smashed apart space itself? No wonder it's called the Iron Fist Rock!
Even though Zu An’s body was sturdy, if he was hit by this fist that could rip apart even space itself, he would still be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
“You're pretty fast,” the Iron Fist Rock said, stunned. It didn’t hesitate and punched again.
After seeing what just happened, there was no way Zu An would take that attack directly. He immediately moved to another position.
The Iron Fist Rock struck again, but it was too slow and missed several times in a row. It was so angry it yelled, “You damn rat! If you have the skill, then stop running and fight a proper battle against me!”
You have successfully trolled the Iron Fist Rock for +599 +599 +599…
Zu An’s figure suddenly reappeared in midair as he said, “Fine, I won’t run anymore. Let’s fight a proper battle.”
The Snow Lady in the distance immediately panicked, calling out, “You can’t fall for his words!” She figured that clashing directly with the rock giant was an extremely unwise choice.
The Iron Fist Rock laughed and said, “Haha, that’s more like it. You have some guts. Take this fist of mine then!” This time, its fist was almost twice as strong as before.
It looked at Zu An expectantly, but it was disappointed to find that the human didn’t keep his promise to remain in place. Instead, he vanished into thin air.
The rock giant was about to scream, but it was suddenly baffled. By the time it reacted, it discovered that it was in midair, while the human was in its previous location. It sensed a terrifying and familiar fist flying toward it, leaving it really confused. Its eyes immediately widened.
Boom!
Even with its armor, it couldn't withstand its own full-powered attack. Its body was blasted into pieces and scattered everywhere.
The Snow Lady sighed in relief. She had already seen Zu An's position-exchanging skill.
Hmph, humans are sly after all.
Zu An kept staring at the remaining rocks on the ground. Sure enough, the rocks began to shake and gather together. In just a few seconds, they gathered together to form a new rock giant.
“You bug, how can you have no sense of trustworthiness at all? You’re despicable and shameless!” the Iron Fist Rock cried, its massive eyes wide. It was so mad that its eyes almost seemed as if they would burst into flame.
You have successfully trolled the Iron Fist Rock for +999 +999 +999…
Although he sensed its anger, Zu An didn’t seem to mind that much. He asked, “Why can’t we kill you? Is there even a point in me fighting against you?”
“I’m immortal to begin with, as long as…” the Iron Fist Rock began, but as it suddenly realized what was going on, it immediately closed its mouth. “You despicable human, you actually tricked me! Thank goodness I’m not like that stupid dragon with a walnut-sized brain, or else I would’ve really fallen for your tricks.”
Zu An was a bit speechless.
Is that Bramble Bone Dragon really at the very bottom of this circle’s ladder of disdain? But I don’t think the others’ intelligence amounts to much either.
As expected, the more someone's lacking in that department, the more they like to compare it.
“What a pity though, I’ve already obtained the information I needed,” Zu An said with a smile.
The Iron Fist Rock exclaimed in horror, “Impossible! How could you know that I…”
However, it snapped out of its daze and said with a sneer, “I almost fell for your tricks again! Enough with the nonsense. Let’s settle it with our fists.”
It sent its fists flying again, not wanting to give Zu An any chance to trap it through words.
Unfortunately, how could it compete against Zu An’s unpredictable movement abilities? It could only watch as he leisurely avoided the attack and said, “There’s a story from my hometown that talked about a giant who was really strong, and it even said that his mother was the earth. As long as he was connected to the ground, he would have endless power and could never be defeated. That was why he never lost a fight. However, eventually, there was a strong man who learned of his weakness. When the two fought, he found a chance to lift the giant into the air, preventing him from remaining on the ground. Once he lost the source of his power, that giant became weak, and then was starved to death by that strong man…”
When the story first started, the Iron Fist Rock didn’t seem to mind it all that much, but its expression suddenly changed when it heard the ending. With a huge roar, it unleashed more than a dozen punches in succession to make a huge area collapse. Immediately after, it turned tail and ran. Even though it didn’t excel at speed, it was still strong, so it became little more than a blur in the distance.
Zu An avoided the collapsing space. He grinned and remarked, “I didn’t expect my guess to be spot on.”
He took out the Sun Slaying Bow and nocked an arrow. A resplendent comet cut through the air and struck the Iron Fist Rock in the middle of its back. Its body exploded on the spot.
The Snow Lady didn’t need Zu An to say anything, and knew exactly what to do. A huge snowstorm rose up from the ground, picking up the scattered rocks and sending them into the air so they couldn't land. However, it wasn’t just a simple attack. Every single snowflake was like the sharpest of blades, turning it into an enormous grinder. Soon after, the rocks in the sky were crushed into powder, and then sent all the way into the stratosphere.
As expected, the Iron Fist Rock was unable to regenerate.
The Snow Lady landed by Zu An’s side and asked with a hint of curiosity, “Just how did you know that it needed to make contact with the ground to regenerate?”
Zu An laughed and said, “There's no way there could immortal beings in this world. So, its ability definitely had to have a weakness. When we fought earlier, I made sure to smash it to pieces in the air, but it didn’t immediately regenerate in the air, only doing so after it landed on the ground again. That was when I developed this hunch.
“Of course, it was just a guess. I was just trying to scare it with a random story and didn’t expect it to lose its cool so quickly. That proved my guess was correct.”
The Snow Lady was speechless. Only after a while did she ask, “Are humans all as cunning as you?”
“Come on, you’re using the wrong word here. This is called being smart, and I don’t think there are that many who are as handsome and as smart as me,” Zu An replied.
The Snow Lady stared at him for a long time before saying, “You really are shameless.”
Zu An was speechless. He coughed lightly and changed the topic, saying, “The last one is their boss. Your injuries are too serious, so I think it’s best if I go by myself.”
He just had a bad feeling about that radiant being. Just what was its ability?
