The King of Black Fog

A gust of intense wind hit his face, the mighty strength compressed the air, making even breathing somewhat difficult.

Li Changzhou had felt the biting killing intent before, but this was the first time he had seen an aura that was almost materializing.

The whirling kick of the carousel came crashing over like lightning, striking towards Li Changzhou's temple.

The tip of the foot collided with the telekinetic shield like a finger poking into a balloon.

Li Changzhou raised his sword to parry, pulling out a streak of green light with the Emerald Bee Sword, aiming to split the adversary from groin to head in two.

The carousel's corner of mouth curled into a cold smirk, withdrawing the foot that was originally trapped by the telekinetic net by almost an imperceptible distance, then kicked again.

"Second Strike"

Under the force of his ability, the skill was no longer limited by the weapon, and furthermore...

Bang!

The telekinetic shield shattered.

...his strength was more focused, the might was stronger, and the speed was faster.

Taken by surprise, Li Changzhou instinctively stretched out his arm to block, an inexplicable force penetrated his flowing muscles, and the next moment, he was blasted sideways and sent flying by the huge force.

The carousel, seizing the advantage, pushed off the ground with strength, like a black streak of lightning rushing towards Li Changzhou, who was knocked away.

But after running two steps.

"Ah!"

He screamed in agony, looking down with a ferocious frown, and saw that on the typically European style cobblestone path, several iron arrow-like thorns had grown out of nowhere, one of which pierced through the sole of his foot and protruded from the top.

Blood flowed along the shaft of the iron arrow.

Li Changzhou, who had been sent flying, supported himself with one hand on the ground, flipped over and released all the momentum.

Ignoring the intense pain in his left hand, he got up and raised his sword toward the carousel's neck.

A chill ran through the carousel's brow, sensing danger, he suddenly jerked his head up, his shoulders shuddered, and each strand of hair on his head stood on end.

Li Changzhou's breath hitched, the Emerald Bee Sword dared not come down, as if any slight move would bring unimaginable, huge danger upon him.

"Rooster Feather Shaking," impressive from all sides.

Under the drive of his ability, even Li Changzhou didn't dare to challenge this majesty.

At the same moment that the hair stood on end, the carousel reached out for Li Changzhou's throat.

The fingertips glinted with a cold light like stars.

"Eagle Style·Catch"

A mouse hid in the hole, a hawk lingered outside.

Suddenly, the hawk looked down into the hole, the mouse and hawk locked eyes, and just as the mouse was scared breathless, the hawk reached its claw into the hole, as quick as lightning, a strike deadly.

The carousel unleashed this skill, more fearsome than any hawk, because he had a background, a new citizen nature acknowledged!

Just as his fingertips nearly touched Li Changzhou's neck, Li Changzhou staggered uncontrollably backward, narrowly evading that lethal strike.

The carousel didn't pursue, his eyes fixed on Li Changzhou as he snapped the iron arrow piercing his foot.

"Damn it!" he cursed.

He possessed no healing skill, and the injury would become a severe handicap.

Li Changzhou steadied himself and didn't rush to attack.

He ran a hand across his neck, and a thin blood line appeared on his fingertip.

"Why didn't you make a move?" he asked the Czar Princess behind him.

"…"

Bi didn't want to remain inactive, but she was unable to react in time, their battle changing in a blink of an eye, all within 2 seconds.

Her usual style of combat was from a distance, where she had time to react no matter how fast her opponent, but close-quarters combat... What kind of physical condition was Li Changzhou in?

The carousel had already surpassed limits, and even with a lower status, his physical condition was not something that Bi, an ordinary young girl, could keep up with.

Just then, a sound of thunder exploded in the street, and Tan Ke fired its cannon again, targeting both of them.

Amid the thunderous blast, Bi said, "Should we retreat? After the civilians are gone, I will avenge you and kill that guy."

The two, despite feeling a bit hot, were calm and composed in the terrifying barrage of fire, treating the pressure as trivial as if their telekinetic shield was the most advanced submarine unfazed by the deep sea's crushing depths.

But at this moment, Bi was in no mood to boast.

"Retreat?" Li Changzhou smiled, "Do you know what I like most?"

"What?"

"Paying attention in class, diligently solving problems, of course, my favorite is taking tests."

He rolled the blood on his fingertip into a Blood Pearl and threw it into his mouth, stopping the bleeding on his neck immediately.

What a pity it couldn't replenish blood; eating it could only heal a bit of the damage, otherwise, he would be a perpetual motion machine.

"My favorite is taking tests. Holding a pen is like riding a horse, wielding a long spear, charging through a sea of questions, and knocking them over like dominos."

Li Changzhou shook his injured left arm, which hadn't fully recovered yet, but it no longer hindered his movement.

"Three years of high school, daily quizzes, tests every three days, those were the happiest three years of my life."

"...Are you abnormal or something?"

The Czar Princess also had to study, and she studied more than ordinary people; she suffered greatly from it.

Now hearing someone actually liked studying and taking exams, the only thought in Bi's mind was to get him to a doctor fast.

"No, the doctor said I'm perfectly normal."

Li Changzhou reached back and grabbed the Czar Princess's head, rubbing it vigorously three times.

You can touch a beautiful girl's head?!

Bi was about to spout a slew of curse words to insult Li Changzhou's entire family when suddenly she felt dizzy, the world turned upside down, and she was flung high into the air by him.

She saw Li Changzhou flash forward, pouncing towards the merry-go-round.

Seeing the merry-go-round sneer with contempt, preparing to counterattack, it suddenly stumbled, sliding uncontrollably backward, only able to bend down and dig its hands into the ground.

She saw the merry-go-round tumble, dodging the iron arrow Thorns sprouting from the ground, and saw Li Changzhou take the opportunity to close in, raising his sword to strike at the merry-go-round's head.

She also saw the merry-go-round's cold, cutting gaze and mocking smile freeze as Li Changzhou approached, its long hair shooting up suddenly.

Oh, that's why.

Bi suddenly understood why Li Changzhou had rubbed her head.

The telekinetic force intended to lift her body suddenly pressed down with the push of her small palms, smacking onto the merry-go-round's head and flattening each strand of upright hair.

The merry-go-round's smile stiffened, and Li Changzhou let out a cold laugh as he brought down the Emerald Bee Sword.

Without any anomaly, for a moment the merry-go-round even thought he might have missed until it tried to command its body to respond and got no reaction; that's when it knew it was dead.

Pfft.

The head split like an eggplant, cleanly cleaved in two. The Identity Card popped out, falling beside Li Changzhou's foot.

He bent down to pick it up, and Bi landed on his neck, straddling him.

"How about that!" she said proudly.

"Smart," Li Changzhou complimented.

"Hmph, what does it matter how strong or how fast they are, they still got taken down by the Princess with the lowest-level telekinesis!" Bi gloated.

Actually, if she kept her distance, simply changing from sucking a lollipop to melting it with the vigor of an active licker and wrapping it with her tongue would generate enough telekinetic strength to beat the merry-go-round.

But overcoming strength with weakness, especially a victory of wits, gave her a different sense of triumph than before.

Bang!

The tank fired again.

Before Bi could crush it into a metal ball, Li Changzhou had already charged forward with her in tow.

By the time she realized what was happening, Li Changzhou had already sheathed the Emerald Bee Sword, turning to walk towards Skoda's hiding spot.

"Wait, aren't you going to destroy the tank?" Bi, holding onto Li Changzhou's head, looked back.

At that moment, the tank exploded with a bang, as if all the fire in the world were concentrated there, and Bi's disheveled golden hair danced in the shock wave.
