Chapter 71: Chaos Void
*Boom*
*Bang*
The fight continues to prolong as Zen fights against four people alone.
"Damn it, their endurance has increased by a whole lot," Zen complained as he ran to the left side and used his true qi to punch through their defenses.
However, it wasn't effective much since the enemies also have a true qi barrier on them and with their cultivation being many times higher.
Zen is at a complete disadvantage. Turning his focus to look at Silence and Freya, Zen knew they had no intention of helping him out.
"Boy, you're about to be done, give up now."
"Why struggle so hard when death is inevitable?"
"Just surrender now."
Seeing Zen is struggling without much chance to counterattack, Peter, Karl, and Luke tried to taunt him to make him lose concentration.
They were struggling as well since Zen was still fighting strong despite being against four of them.
If their fight continues and more time passes, the situation would start to change in Zen's favor because his endurance is unlimited.
Being punched left and right while continuing to counter-attack, Zen's fighting prowess was one opponent that they hated the most.
"Screw your shit talk. If you can defeat me, you would have done so already and not try to convince me in admitting defeat." Zen spits out his saliva from their ridiculous talk.
He was not an idiot to fall for some words and lose his focus in the fight where you can lose your life as soon as you're not careful.
'I need to use some powerful technique to break this hurdle.'
Zen continues to block the moves from the enemy while continuing to think up a strategy.
His true qi capacity is about to be squeezed dry from using it all day long and Zen knows there will not be any cliche or miracle scene where he will suddenly become empowered.
"Over here, boy."
Luke shouted from behind Zen before blasting him with a punch that is full of qi.
*Puff*
Being hit directly from the back, Zen sprayed out a mouthful of blood before being pushed forward due to the impact of the punch.
Zen struggled to get back up before being hit from another angle, causing him to crash into the trees.
"Haha, boy you're done."
"Who told him to be this arrogant before? Motherfucker killed Jared when we were trying to hide our qi cultivation."
Zen was about to lose consciousness from being fatigued and almost losing his true qi amount in the core that is stored in his dantian.
But hearing those enemies trash-talking, Zen bit his tongue to stay awake otherwise, this would be the biggest humiliation he ever faced in this new world.
'Want to beat me just because I'm outnumbered and weakened. Dream on.'
Zen got up slowly, using his hand to propel him up because his leg is shaky from enduring all those impacts.
"Oh my, you still have the energy and strength to stand up."
"If only you weren't our enemy, we would have recruited you."
"Enough let's end him now." As Luke and Karl are being relaxed, Rake remained calm the whole time and refused to believe Zen is down from just that.
Therefore, he will finish Zen in this final attack before going after Zen's companions who are watching in the air.
Although he can't sense Freya's cultivation, it doesn't mean she's weak because she was able to handle the air pressure from the fight they emitted.
Rake is cautious of her and if she was to engage in this battle to help Zen out, then it would be troublesome.
"Charge."
Rake commanded and the other three started charging at Zen who was wobbling since he could barely stand still without having his hand on the tree.
'Heh, the final attack on me. Let me show you what is called a final attack.'
Zen smirked in his mind when they all charged at him as Zen closed his eyes and focused to use every last bit of true qi possible.
He was going to use the technique that he got from Cecilia back when she was still a core.
Chaos Void, the forbidden technique that is tyrannical in manipulating time and space.
Zen has been studying it ever since he obtained this technique in his memories but because he was still a mage back then, many steps were incomprehensive to him.
It was only when Cecilia informed him of true qi cultivation where he started to understand the technique.
This was his first time using this technique and it was a do or die. Zen without a doubt would choose to risk it all and try this technique.
'My first life was a cluster fuck and I'm not going to ruin this second life by being thrashed to death.'
Zen clenched his fist as he started to combust every true qi from the core to create an extreme sound wave, twisting the space and time element.
Zen's aura continues to increase and gives off a pressure that the air around 10km starts to compress and vanish.
Rake and the other four who saw this, knew it would be disastrous if they didn't hurry as they increased their movement to kill Zen in this final hit.
"Die, boy."
All four of them screamed while smiling as their hit was about to land on Zen but right before it touched him.
Just a millimeter away from ending his life, Zen shouted Chaos Void.
*Bzzzzzzzz*
Opening his eyes, Zen saw the four people frozen in place and looking up at Freya, she was also frozen.
Everyone seems to turn into statues and Zen finally knew why this technique was forbidden yet tyrannical.
"Such an overbearing technique heh."
Zen said as he opened his right hand and faced the four people. Without any hesitation, Zen closed his palm while mumbling Chaos.
*Brrrrrrrrrrm*
As soon as Zen closed his palm, space and time returned back to normal as Freya shouting Zen could be heard.
Freya was rushing to save Zen before an extreme breeze echoed, causing her to back away.
Dust covered the field of vision on the scene where Zen was supposed to be dead now.
"I-Impossible, Zen is not that weak," Freya said in disbelief when she knew Zen may seem weak in cultivation but his power seems to have no limit.
After all, he was able to touch her without being poisoned to death in less than 3 seconds.
Freya knew her poison physique can kill anyone that touches her slightly if their cultivation was extremely weak.
Thus, it was a surprise for her when she saw Zen's weak cultivation yet unaffected in the slightest.
When the dust finally dispersed, Freya saw Zen fainted whereas the four people became a pile of blood.
In the mysterious space, Cecilia was completely in disbelief by this development.
She was about to drag Zen back to space when the hit was about to land but she couldn't drag him back when Zen suddenly shouted something.
"Unbelievable, this boy managed to learn Chaos Void when not even those empyreans could use it."
Cecilia mumbled softly while looking at Zen who simply fainted from true qi depletion.
A gentle smile while some tears dripped down when she saw his current condition.
'Am I also charmed by his handsome face or his conduct?'
Wiping the tears slowly, Cecilia doesn't know why she felt heartache when she saw Zen being beaten left and right.
There were times that she wanted to just boost Zen with her true qi but stopped herself because she needed him to grow.
The decision was correct but her other emotional side is saying otherwise.
Clenching her heart softly, Cecilia injected some true qi into Zen to have him recover faster before disappearing to compose herself.
