Chapter 1356: Chapter 1356 – One Against Many
With Zhang Heng’s battle sense, of course, he wouldn’t let such an opportunity slip by. The [ hidden scabbard ] in his hand suddenly turned in the opposite direction. The next moment, an arm fell off the original owner’s shoulder and flew into the air.
However, after a short while, the others finally came to their senses. They realized that they were in a life-and-death battle, and one of them’s body was instantly burned into flames, he actually used his own hand to grab Zhang Heng’s knife. It seemed like he wanted to use the high temperature to melt the B grade item.
The other two threw out the darts in their hands. The man wearing the Uthorpe mask also took a mechanical glove from the auctioneer’s hand and put it on his left hand, then, one of the mechanical fingers fell off the glove and shot toward Zhang Heng.
In addition, the man who had failed in his sneak attack earlier had also crawled up from the ground. The four of them once again surrounded Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng did not clash head-on with the pyromancer. Instead, he chose to avoid the pyromancer’s punch and deal with the other opponents first. This was because he had encountered players with similar abilities in the leakers’dungeon, the earring man who had fought alongside him had a tool that allowed him to transform into a water giant. During this period, his strength would also increase explosively.
Fortunately, such powerful transformation skills usually had a time limit. For example, the man with the earring only had 60 seconds to transform into a water giant. Zhang Heng estimated that the Burning Man in front of him would not last too long either, if he could delay until the other party’s transformation ended, that would be the easiest solution.
Therefore, Zhang Heng set his third target on the man wearing the UTHORPE mask. He saw the mechanical finger that the other party had shot at him. The blade of [ hidden sheath ] had accurately struck the finger.

The result was a small explosion. Fortunately, Zhang Heng was still a few steps away from the explosion and was not seriously injured. However, he did not expect the flames from the explosion to be completely absorbed by the Burning Man beside him, this caused his body to become bigger. He was already at the height of Yao Ming, and the top of his head was about to touch the ceiling.
As for the dart, for some reason, it was slightly far away. It didn’t hit Zhang Heng at all. Instead, it landed beside his feet. Zhang Heng didn’t stop, and he continued to pounce on the man in the Uthorpe Mask.
He could already tell that the latter was the leader of tonight’s operation. After taking care of him, the encirclement would be broken. However, what Zhang Heng didn’t expect was that his left foot seemed to be frozen to the ground in the next moment, he couldn’t move anymore.
The Man with the Lightning Ring also saw an opportunity and rushed forward. Unfortunately, even though Zhang Heng didn’t turn back, it was as if he had eyes on his back. With a swing of his knife, the man with the Lightning Ring couldn’t stop his fist in time, it was as if he had delivered his wrist to the blade of Zhang Heng’s knife. Naturally, he would end up with blood splattering everywhere.
At this moment, Zhang Heng finally realized what the problem was. The dart that he had overlooked earlier was stuck in the shadow behind him, and it was at the position of his left calf, after that, he could no longer move his left leg.
The man wearing the Uthorpe mask saw this and his eyes lit up with joy. “Alright, Fire Fist, go stall him! The rest of you, switch to long-range attacks.”With that said, he released six mechanical fingers in one go.
The man wearing the Uthorpe mask had a simple intention. He didn’t really hope to kill or injure Zhang Heng in this wave of attacks. He only hoped to distract the opponent’s attention so that his companion could throw out more darts to pin Zhang Heng’s shadow, this was especially true for Zhang Heng’s saber-wielding hand. If that hand couldn’t be used, then the outcome of this battle would be clear.

However, to his surprise, Zhang Heng did not show any signs of panic when faced with the six mechanical fingers that were shooting at him. Immediately after, he saw [ hidden scabbard ] dancing gracefully in the air, the six mechanical fingers were either chopped or sliced into pieces one by one. The entire process was effortless and did not waste much time.
Even as an opponent, the man wearing the Uthorpe mask had to admit that the opponent’s saber technique was too powerful. It had even exceeded the limits of a human. It made him feel like he was reading a manga, the man wearing the URSOP mask had never seen the legendary Miyamoto Musashi before, but he felt that even if the person standing before him was Miyamoto Musashi, he couldn’t do any better.
Fortunately, he wasn’t fighting alone tonight. Even though his six mechanical fingers had been cut open, Zhang Heng was unable to stop the Burning Man from absorbing the explosion to increase his strength, however, the smile on the man’s face only lasted for less than a second before it disappeared again.
This was because he had thought of a problem. As the Burning Man’s body continued to expand, the originally spacious exhibition hall suddenly became a little too big for him. Now, the fire giant had no choice but to lower his head and shrink his neck, otherwise, his head would have burned through the ceiling. This way, even though his strength had increased, his movement speed had slowed down.
Could it be that the other party had predicted this earlier by detonating his mechanical finger? The Man’s heart sank. The difficulty of this battle had far exceeded their expectations.
On the other hand, Zhang Heng had somehow cut off the darts on the shadow and regained his freedom. Furthermore, the melting point of the knife in his hand was beyond everyone’s imagination, after taking the fire giant’s punch head-on, not a single red mark was left behind.
“Have all of your tricks been used up? Then it’s my turn next.”
Zhang Heng said calmly to the four people whose faces had already turned ghastly pale.
Before he could make a move, the man whose wrist had been cut off by [ hidden scabbard ] had followed in the footsteps of his companion. He wanted to bandage the wound on his wrist, but no matter how hard he tried, the blood could not be stopped. Very quickly, his face turned paler and paler, unable to hold on any longer, he fell backward and fell to the ground.
Zhang Heng had already bypassed the slightly bloated fire giant and pounced on the man in the Uthorpe mask once more. The darts that were aimed at his shadow were all knocked away by him.
The Man in the Uthorpe mask knew that he had no way out. He gritted his teeth and rushed forward to meet Zhang Heng’s punch. However, Zhang Heng turned a blind eye to his punch and almost brushed past his body, then, he slashed at the opponent who was playing with the darts.
The Man in the Uthorpe mask tried to stop Zhang Heng, but he realized that there was a knife wound on his lower abdomen. A look of confusion flashed across his eyes as he tried to recall the moment when the two had exchanged blows, however, he could not remember when Zhang Heng had slashed down.
