However.
Zhang Wei shook his head at Zhou Yun and the others’ persuasion. They didn't know about his system ability to not be killed by evil. He could only raise a smile, give them a confident look, and reply:
"Don't worry, I can really deal with them. You guys go to other directions quickly. Leave this place to me and my Nether Demon army. I think there should be many monsters in other directions, no less than yours."
As he spoke.
Zhang Wei's gaze fell on Mute and Stutter. Although he himself was not afraid of Stutter and Mute, Lu Lianfeng and the others were not. There were two of them, and to avoid the battle affecting Lu Lianfeng and the others, and to avoid Lu Lianfeng and the others being used as hostages or shields, Zhang Wei didn't want them to stay here.
However...
Lu Lianfeng and the others didn't grasp Zhang Wei's intentions.
It was no use. Mute and Stutter were too powerful. Judging by the aura they exuded, either one of them was stronger than the strength Zhang Wei had displayed, let alone both of them. If Zhang Wei were to fight them, with the existing gap in strength, and being outnumbered two to one, the outcome was predictable. Zhang Wei would lose, or even... die!
For this reason.
In their eyes.
The smile Zhang Wei showed was a smile of farewell, a smile of going to his death.
This thought, coupled with Zhang Wei telling them to go support other directions, strengthened their conviction.
For a moment.
Many people's eyes reddened. Lu Lianfeng, with red eyes, shouted:
"Brother Wei! Don't force yourself, let Zhou Yun and the others stay to help you."
Others also spoke out:
"That's right, Mr. Zhang Wei, we can help."
"Why isn't my strength enough? Damn it, if it were enough, Mr. Zhang Wei wouldn't have to risk his life to buy us time to escape."
In their eyes.
Zhang Wei was definitely doing it for them. Because Mute and Stutter were powerful, and the gap in strength between the two sides was too great to have any chance of winning, Zhang Wei resolutely decided to cover their retreat alone, to hold back Stutter and Mute by himself, to buy everyone time to escape and call for reinforcements.
Moved.
Tears welled up.
At this moment, many ghost hunters had tears in their eyes, and even the monsters were touched.
[Ding! Monsters... Are there such fearless people in this era?]
[Host has gained System Points +3000]
[Ding! Ghost Kings... No wonder his name is Zhang Wei, no wonder he can command Nether Demons. This Zhang Wei, the fearless Wei.]
[Host has gained System Points +300]
Even.
Mute and Stutter felt this way, watching Zhang Wei with interest.
[Ding! Mute and Stutter... It seems the Willow Tree chose him as its master not just for his strength, but also for his selfless spirit. If such a person were killed, it would surely anger many people. This is wonderful.]
[Host has gained System Points +500]
In Mute and Stutter's eyes, Zhang Wei was indeed quite strong. At such a young age, he had reached the level of a top Ghost King, with explosive potential. However, to deal with either one of them, or even both, was not enough. Zhang Wei clearly realized this, knowing the gap in strength between them, and that he would likely be killed here.
And if Zhang Wei died here, let alone Lu Lianfeng and the others. So, rather than that, it was better to cover their retreat, sacrificing himself for the greater good.
At the same time.
Feeling the gazes of Mute and Stutter, and hearing Lu Lianfeng and the others' words, Zhang Wei was speechless. He was not stupid; he could see that Lu Lianfeng and the others had misunderstood. He immediately said:
"I'm not forcing myself, I can really deal with these two. Aren't they just two top Ghost King level ghost hunters? It's no big deal. Believe me, I can handle it. I just genuinely think you guys will be in the way here."
Zhang Wei dared not beat around the bush anymore, fearing they would misunderstand again.
However...
As soon as Lu Lianfeng heard his words, his face clearly showed 'I don't believe you.' He gritted his teeth and said:
"Brother Wei, although this might sound like I'm belittling you, your strength is evident. If you're going to face two people stronger than you alone, I can't imagine how you'll fight, unless your strength suddenly skyrockets. How else can you deal with them?"
Zhou Yun and the others also chimed in, all agreeing:
"Yes, they are very strong. Unless Mr. Zhang Wei's strength can skyrocket, and it needs to skyrocket a lot, after all, there are two of them."
"How can strength skyrocket so easily? It's not like a Super Saiyan who just roars and then... Holy crap!!!"
The last sentence was spoken by another Ghost King level ghost hunter next to Zhou Yun.
However, before he could finish speaking.
He saw Zhang Wei spread his hands and let out a roar.
Then.
Accompanied by a terrifying aura, it erupted from Zhang Wei's body like a volcanic eruption. Zhang Wei's short hair, to the astonishment of Lu Lianfeng, Mute, and the other humans and ghosts, stood on end and instantly turned golden.
At the same time.
As Zhang Wei's terrifying aura surged forth, a golden aura radiated from him, and his strength visibly increased.
[Ding! Used Super Saiyan Figurine ability - Super Saiyan 1]
For a moment.
Feeling Zhang Wei's sudden change.
Lu Lianfeng and the others were stunned. Some widened their eyes, while others stood dumbfounded, looking at Zhang Wei as if they had seen a ghost. While exclaiming "Holy crap" in their minds, everyone had the same thought... Holy crap, that's Mr. Zhang Wei, isn't it? A Super Saiyan?!
At this moment.
Zhang Wei looked towards Lu Lianfeng and the others, his golden hair standing on end, and grinned:
"Now you believe me, right? I really have the confidence."
As soon as he said that.
Zhang Wei ignored Lu Lianfeng and the others and charged directly at Mute and Stutter. Rather than wasting time explaining to them, it was better to prove it with actions.
Instantly.
Zhang Wei, who had activated Super Saiyan 1, moved as if teleporting, arriving before Stutter and Mute, and threw a punch at Stutter.
[Ding! Mute and Stutter's expressions changed]
[Host has gained System Points +510]
This punch was swift, carrying the terrifying aura of a Super Saiyan, pressing down on the air as it lunged towards Stutter. Stutter's pupils contracted. Relying on his own powerful strength, he dodged to the side, evading Zhang Wei's attack.
However.
He dodged the fatal punch, but a bloody gash appeared on his cheek, and blood flowed from the wound.
Zhang Wei's punch was too fierce. Even without direct contact, just the gust of his fist grazing his cheek had already cut it, as if a sharp blade had sliced across it.
At this moment.
A roar echoed.
"Abba!!"
It was Mute. Seeing the wound on Stutter's cheek, his smiling eyes narrowed, and his expression turned grim. Without a word, he opened his mouth, his cheeks puffed out like a frog's. The next second, a large number of black paper scraps gushed out from his mouth.
The paper scraps were very small, each only palm-sized, and cut into a special shape, resembling a paper figurine.
"Ying!!"
The paper figurines were numerous, hundreds or thousands of them. As they were spewed from Mute's mouth, the paper figurines seemed to have life, emitting sharp cries like infants. Like a swarm of ghost infants, they covered Zhang Wei completely, clinging tightly to him.
In less than a blink of an eye, Zhang Wei was completely wrapped by the paper figurines, his body no longer visible.
However, in the next second.
Boom!!!
A terrifying golden aura burst out from the gaps of the tightly wrapped 'paper pile.' Following a loud boom, the 'paper pile' exploded, emitting shrill cries like infants. Zhang Wei burst out from within.
Upon closer inspection.
Zhang Wei was completely unharmed. His golden hair stood on end, radiating the golden aura of a Super Saiyan, immensely powerful and invincible.
