I am a living immortal.

Chapter 501 Rumors

Chen Tao's powerful strength, coupled with his eyes that could see through details, made him more and more comfortable the longer the battle dragged on. To be honest, these assassins did have their merits: their invulnerable bodies, immense strength, and their beast-like instincts.

These completely made up for the gap in skill. A single punch could create a three-meter-wide crater in the ground, shattering rocks and trees at the touch of a single blow. Each of them had already touched the power of a Grandmaster, though they knew only killing.

But after all, there are a lot of people.

Killing two people in such a situation was extremely difficult. In order to kill them, he broke two ribs.

If this punch hits the body, even if it is made of iron, it will still leave a mark.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Chen Tao's Qi surged. The more dangerous the situation, the calmer he became, a habit honed after battling the mighty river for so long. You have to know that when battling such a force, a single careless move could land you in the bottom of the river, where there's no light at all, with no chance of survival.

The strength acquired from years of walking on the edge of life and death was fully stimulated in the dangerous environment.

Chen Tao let out a long breath.

Every muscle in his body was vibrating, and the surrounding air was flowing around him under the vibration of these muscles, forming undercurrents.

These undercurrents can sometimes be fatal.

When a dead man stepped on it, the originally normal air suddenly became violent, and before the other party could react, they were flipped into the sky. The body was confused for a moment, not knowing what had happened.

In just a moment, Chen Tao smashed the opponent's head.

Even the hard chitinous shell was unable to stop it, because the crane's attack was not a violent one, but a resonance. It seemed easy, but it was not easy at all. After all, it was not only the opponent's head that was shattered, but also his own hand.

Yet the effect is significant.

Deadpool, who could at least withstand thousands of blows, was shattered in an instant.

These assassins are not immortal.

The brain and heart are both weaknesses, and so are he. At least at this stage, these assassins have not yet left the realm of human beings.

The death of their companion did not stop the other Deadpools from attacking. Someone immediately replaced the dead one. The attack was still impenetrable, but it was not as invulnerable as before.

He killed the first two by exchanging injuries for injuries.

From this moment on, the situation took a different turn. Chen Tao relished the feeling of growing against adversity. His palm techniques grew increasingly majestic, yet within this aura there was a subtle undercurrent. With this dual approach, the enemy, despite their apparent numerical superiority, was ultimately defeated by wave after wave of force.

Cracks appeared on the ground for no apparent reason, and the surrounding trees and houses shattered upon contact. Chen Tao struck another blow, creating a large hole in the chest of a dead soldier, even cutting him in half.

His hands were stained with sticky blood, both his own and his enemy's. He knew his body was overloaded. This lethal attack had still damaged his arm.

His hands were red and blood was seeping out of his skin.

But even so, Chen Tao still did not stop. He was very happy, and in the middle of the fight, he took out a pill from his pocket and put it into his mouth.

With a simple click, the pill was easily crushed by his teeth, and then transformed into a warm current that flowed through his limbs and bones. The redness in his hands seemed to be relieved.

"Come!!!"

Chen Tao said to the remaining assassins.

All he got in response was a relentless attack. They didn't know the difference between life and death, nor did they feel fear, only the determination to kill their target.

But is there really none?

Chen Tao didn't think so. After all, they were human beings transformed, and fear was an instinct ingrained in them. Even wild animals would be afraid.

What’s more, he watched his “companions” being beheaded one after another.

An indescribable fear began to spread, even infecting these deadpools.

You don't know what life and death are, but he, Chen Tao, taught you what fear is.

"boom!!!"

The rising Qi roiled the space within sight. Those warriors, enveloped in a sense of fear, felt as if they were at the bottom of a torrent, seemingly calm but fraught with danger.

They followed their instincts and wanted to escape, but they couldn't. Chen Tao was the overlord of the lake, his casual movements disrupting the surrounding water flow. They, the deadpools, were the prey, fleeing in panic, wary of the undercurrents while avoiding Chen Tao's prey.

If they had remained emotionless like they did at the beginning, they might have had a chance. However, now, with their murderous intent fully revealed, their struggles were all in vain.

Knowing that the battle continues, the fight is over.

When Chen Tao smashed the last of the assassins' heads, the battle was over. The surroundings were like a complete mess, with no place intact. Broken bodies were scattered everywhere, with only a few remaining intact.

Even after taking the elixir, he still suffered serious injuries in this battle. Fortunately, he was not a pure killing machine, otherwise, with just these eleven people, an army of ten thousand people would probably be wiped out.

He also enjoyed this battle.

But that fragment of the immortal book is truly remarkable...

Chen Tao sat cross-legged on the ground, thinking. The stinging pain in his body hadn't completely subsided. If these Deadpools were this powerful, what would King Cheng be like? Could he have truly become an immortal? Impossible.

But this had given him a wake-up call. If he relied on himself alone, he might not be able to solve the problem. However, his goal had been achieved. Listening to the sound of horse hooves in the distance, he knew that this time the commotion was really big.

Regardless of the outcome, the food problem has been temporarily solved. The manager said that since those big companies joined, they no longer have to visit them. These people swarmed in like flies. Making money isn't a bad thing. There's nothing that profit can't solve.

The sound of horse hooves is getting closer.

Soon they arrived in front of Chen Tao. They were stunned when they saw the scene before them.

The surroundings looked as if they had been plowed, with no grass growing.

There were also the broken bodies scattered on the ground, and Chen Tao sitting in the center of this scene. At this moment, Chen Tao was covered in blood, like a demon god.

It was the people from the Mirage Chamber of Commerce who stepped forward first.

The government had long been informed by Prince Cheng to suppress these events, but it wasn't that easy. The people from the Exorcist Platform arrived, along with a bunch of frivolous gamblers and a few brave civilians.

When they saw the remains of the corpses, they looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never thought that the rumors were true.
