Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave

Chapter 26 Freedom (Part Two)

"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. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

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!"

"Bump!"

Zen threw Evil Lan to the ground with all of his strength. Although the cave was made up of hard stone, it could not withstand this enormous momentum. Under the impact of the explosion, the ground was torn apart, and in the middle of the huge hole lay Evil Lan.

Dazed, Evil Lan took a moment to compose himself before struggling to climb out of the hole. Zen, however, simply did not give him the opportunity. 'This crazy man is very strong and fast. If I let him climb out of this hole, I may not be able to catch him again. Opportunity knocks only once! I can't give him a chance.' Zen rationalized.

Zen was like a mad beast. He squatted over Evil Lan and unleashed at least a dozen punches in quick succession. The strength of each punch thrown by Zen weighed about thousands of pounds.

He panted from the exertion. After wiping his brow, Zen looked at Evil Lan who was lying in the rubble in the hole. Zen narrowed his eyes when he felt as though Evil Lan was no longer breathing.

He had beaten someone who was half-way to mastering the nature level? Considering that Zen only had the strength of a person at the organ refining level, this was undoubtedly a very difficult feat.

Evil Lan had depleted the fire inside his body, as he had been refining for nearly a day and a night. And then, he had been attacked by Zen.

In this case, he had still counterattacked successfully. If Zen reacted a little slower, his neck would have been broken by Evil Lan. In that case, Zen would have died, not Evil Lan.

Life was so unpredictable! It was impossible to figure out when and where disaster would strike.

It took a moment for the development to sink in. Zen had just defeated a notorious nature level master, with his bare hands.

Zen congratulated himself before calming down. He needed to check the eight living people pinned to the weapon refining furnace. When Zen began walking toward them, it looked like they were dead. It almost seemed as though their flesh and blood had been sucked away from their bones.

When he went to investigate the iron cages closer, Zen saw that those people had been burned to death by Evil Lan's fire. Their bodies looked so horrible that Zen closed his eyes and turned away. 'Poor people!'

Zen silently mourned for the people in his heart. After composing himself, Zen began wandering around the vast cave. Although he had examined the cave twice now, he saw nothing of value except some broken copper and iron.

Now in the center of the cave, Zen frowned as he thought about what he had found. If a general weapon refiner was wealthy, then an established weapon refiner like Evil Lan could not be so poor. There must be some treasures!

After searching for a while longer, a thought occurred to Zen. He rushed to the hole and dragged Evil Lan's body out. Evil Lan's body had now become a skeleton. There was not a single part of the body that was left intact.

Zen's gaze fell on Evil Lan's right hand. On the middle finger was a black ring.

An idea spurred Zen to reach for the ring from Evil Lan's middle finger. However, as soon as Zen touched the ring, a sense of coolness enveloped his fingers.

Sure enough, this was a space ring!
