Luck is a Charm

Chapter 70: One vs Four

"You little faggot, you dare to kill Jared in a sneak attack"

One of the four people in that group suddenly yelled aloud while pointing his finger toward Zen.

Zen can't help but look at him in amusement. 'Sneak attack your companion?'

Zen starts to laugh at the shameless conduct of their people. Not only did they sneak attack him first, now they accused him of the one that sneaks attack.

'Whatever, since you want to label me as dishonor foe then so be it.'

Zen never plays by the book so being called that didn't affect him much so without wasting any time.

Zen used his speed to his advantage and arrived in front of the person that pointed his finger at him.

*Bam*

Unable to react to Zen's sudden movement, the person was sent flying and crashed into the ground, with his face taking the full impact.

"Peter!"

"Fuck, Karl and Luke, hurry up and cast your defensive spell. I will need 1 minute before I can launch a deadly attack on that kid."

"Understood, Rake."

The last three standing instantly regain their composure and start to become more cautious.

Zen was chuckling from their dumb conversation of handling him.

"Silence, hurry up and slice them up."

Zen said since he doesn't want to bother himself in fighting them. However, he wasn't able to be lazy this time.

"Fight them alone Zen. This is a good chance to increase your fighting experience."

Cecilia said in the mysterious space and Silence who was about to head into action, stopped.

Zen wanted to complain but knowing it's Cecilia and that she's still kinda mad at him for some reason, could only comply.

'Sigh, guess we'll have some appetizer before the main dish of my essence flame.'

When Zen was about to use his speed again, a chain of lightning was firing toward him.

*Zazaam*

Zen tried to dodge toward the left side but at this time, there was a tornado and blocking his path.

'Damn it, they're coordinated now.'

Losing the advantage right in the start, Zen tried to dodge toward the right side but it was too late since the lightning landed on him.

*Booom*

Zen's true qi barrier took the full impact hit and the enemies did not give him any time to relax.

While Karl and Luke continue to cast their spells to delay Zen, Rake is constantly firing his attack.

Zen could only dodge for now and think up a strategy.

'Curse this one vs three. If only I could still use a fireball'

Zen was cursing in his mind before he thought of something. Fireball, his basic attack of this world and stopped using it after knowing about the fake cultivation.

Like sudden enlightenment, Zen decided to test his luck and see if he could still use fireball.

'Although mage's attack is different from true qi, they are still part of it because it is just a deviation.'

While Zen dodges the next lightning strike, Zen slowly uses his core and starts rotating his true qi.

Zen opened his palm where his true qi started to channel and flames started to appear.

"Haha, it worked. Fuck you, people, for ganging up on me."

Zen said loudly and launched the flame toward Rake who was still trying to chant up more spells.

Rake, who didn't expect Zen could still have spare time to launch an attack on him was surprised.

He tried to cast a barrier but the foundation was shaky due to the poor mana distribution on the barrier.

*Boooom*

"Rake!"

Karl and Luke both cried aloud when they saw Rake crashing into a tree nearby.

With Karl and Luke being distracted, Zen took advantage of this time to go toward Luke and punched him right to the face.

*Arghh*

Being punched right in the face when Zen still has flame in his fist was extremely painful.

Zen didn't stop and continued to go after Karl. Karl couldn't block him anymore with Luke and Rake still trying to stand up.

"Hello, where's your tornado bitch?"

Zen said sarcastically when he was behind Karl. Karl tried to cast his spell but couldn't chant the full word before being blasted in the face.

'Punching people in the face is truly the most exciting thing.'

Zen celebrates his victory early since they could no longer fight.

"Zen, behind you." Cecilia suddenly said to Zen.

Zen didn't ask any more questions except running away from his current position.

"What the heck?" Zen asked in confusion on who else will still fight him.

His question was soon answered when Zen saw the previously beaten four people standing up.

Zen's expression became solemn when they all threw away their staff and true qi started to fluctuate between them.

"Boy, no wonder why many of us couldn't defeat you. Apparently, you know how to use true qi and you're probably in the Body Tempering stage."

Rake said as he started to increase his true qi. Rake's cultivation suddenly rises to the Origin Core.

"What cultivation rank is he now, Cecilia?" Zen asked Cecilia slowly after seeing Rake's aura is getting more intense.

"7th stage Origin Core and it's 2 cultivation stages higher than you," Cecilia said nonchalantly.

After all, no matter the cultivation the enemies have, Cecilia was a Sovereign before and anything below her is an ant.

Silence wasn't even amused by the sudden prowess the enemies had shown. Unless they were close to an empyrean, he would not have a difficult time killing them all.

"You guys are seriously expecting me to fight four people who are 2 cultivation stages higher than me."

Zen said when he saw the first person he knocked over to stand up again.

Peter, Luke, Karl, and Rake are now standing opposite of Zen with a menace and arrogant expression.

They couldn't sense Silence and Freya's cultivation base because they are ignorant and too weak so they think only Zen is the capable fighter.

Although the four people aren't strong since Zen has an even more powerful ally, he couldn't receive help from them this time.

'Tch, bring it on then. I will not be defeated by a bunch of ants.'

Zen calmed his emotion and looked back at the four people who had a disgusting expression.

While increasing his true qi and gripping his fist, Zhen said to them, "One vs four, let's see who's the boss."
