Chapter 806: You’d Better Be Closing Your Eyes
In the blink of an eye, Habitus had lost two fingers. However, he decided to ignore the pain, gritted his teeth, and jumped off the donkey cart. When he landed, he could not stand firmly and almost fell into a puddle.
After that, Zhang Heng decided not to go after Habitus because Bach was still in Murkazan’s hands. The latter felt that the plan would fall apart soon, not expecting that Habitus would fail to kill Zhang Heng. Now that he was left alone and Habitus had escaped, he was stuck in a dilemma.
He wanted to jump off the donkey cart too. However, Bach, now under his control, was glaring at him. Once he retrieved the knife in his hand, the latter would definitely pounce on him imdiately.
Not to ntion that Zhang Heng was next to him.
“Don’t co near , or I will kill him,” Murkazan warned Zhang Heng.
“I’m not even close to him.” Zhang Heng slowly drew out another Persian sword as he spoke.
Murkazan was speechless.
He knew that Zhang Heng had a good gladiator friend and that his na was Varo. He did not participate in the gladiatorial show at the Amphitheatrum Flavium this ti. Before Zhang Heng showed his true strength, the two had spent a lot of ti together. Now, if the person in front of him was Varo, he might use him to threaten Zhang Heng. As for Bach, he had been spending most of his ti with his Germanic allies. Zhang Heng and Bach did not have too many interactions except for their fight that night.
When Murkazan ca up with the plan with Habitus, he wanted to restrain Bach first, worried that Bach would be too stubborn to cooperate with them. Now that the plan had failed, Murkazan was stuck in an awkward circumstance. He couldn’t let Bach go because he knew that Bach would definitely beat him up. If he held on to this posture, however, Zhang Heng would stab him with his Persian sword.
Murkazan was so frustrated that he almost cried. But fortunately, Bach solved this problem for him afterward.
When Murkazan was distracted, Bach beca violent suddenly, and he kicked Murkazan’s chest. The latter also subconsciously grasped the knife in his hand. As a result, Murkazan fell backward, and at the sa ti, he was swinging the knife. Murkazan managed to slash Bach’s chest, and fortunately, the knife did not penetrate deep into the flesh. Though it looked bloody, it did not hurt much.
Bach could not be bothered by his wounds. He stood up and imdiately rode on Murkazan and began to teach the latter a lesson with his fist. An eye for an eye and blood for blood had always been Bach’s way of living.
However, he was stopped by Zhang Heng after he landed a few punches on him.
Bach frowned. “Why? This guy has just joined forces with the bastard Habitus in plotting against you. Where is the rage that you had when you fought against the bison? Bring it out now. If you don’t want to get your hands dirty, I can beat him up for you.”
“I’m not saying you shouldn’t beat him, but we have sothing more important to do now. Lift your head and look around,” replied Zhang Heng helplessly.
Bach then raised his head, and he found out that the donkey cart had stopped at a random place. The driver had disappeared without a trace. Their current location was kind of remote. It seed like they were located behind a few warehouses, and there are no other people nearby them.
When Bach was about to ask Zhang Heng what just happened, he saw a group of masked n charging at them from the small lane between the two warehouses.
Bach rolled his eyes when he saw this. “Do you think it’s funny, Sartonilos? Do you really think that we can’t recognize you just because your face is covered by cloth?”
The masked man in the lead smiled. “It doesn’t matter if you recognize ... I’m good as long as no passersby can see my face.”
Bach was shocked when he heard this. “You are shaless. You colluded with Habitus and brought us here, but Habitus was unable to do anything to us. So, you brought a group of people to deal with us instead. Are you planning to work together to beat us up? Aren’t you ashad of yourself? What’s more, you are the most powerful gladiator in Ro after Sethnets retired.”
“Wrong.” Satonilos shook his head. “You are wrong. I am no longer the most powerful gladiator in Ro. Although the final result has not been released yet, I know that all of us will eventually lose the battle. All the fa we accumulated over the past few years has now beco the stepping stone for others. Now, everyone knows that the man beside you is the most powerful gladiator in Ro.”
“So who are you trying to bla? No one asked you to be weaker than others.” Bach sneered, and he looked at everyone around him. Other than Sartonilos, he recognized a few n that he was familiar with. Bach was secretly surprised by them, not expecting so many famous gladiators would be willing to put down their honor like Habitus. Most of them were renowned veteran gladiators. Now they were gathered here shalessly to eliminate their opponents.
“We don’t have a second way out. It’s not right to ask us to sit back and wait. We have to do sothing about it before the bad things co to us.” Sartonilos spread his hands, “Other than that, you are wrong about one thing. We are not going to fight the two of you at the sa ti.”
“Why? Are you trying to be a gentleman now? Taking turns to fight with us is just as shaless,” Bach snorted.
“No, no, no. We only want to fight him. As for you, you can stand aside and watch us.”
“No! Don’t let him go. He knocked out my teeth!!!” Murkazan, who was under Bach, suddenly scread.
Bach then punched him again, and two more of his teeth fell out. Murkazan suddenly beca quiet again.
“What do you think? As far as I know, your relationship with him is very ordinary. Right now, the gap in strength is too wide. There is no need to make yourself suffer,” Sartonilos continued.
“Yes. I’m different from the despicable human beings you guys are,” Bach grinned. “Besides, do I look like a fool to you? Since you are all determined to eliminate Zhang Heng, I don’t think you guys will keep
alive after you deal with him.”
Sartonilos laughed, “Habitus was right. You just look stupid, but you are not easy to deceive. It seems like I’ll have to go all out this ti.”
“Co on!” Bach picked up his weapon and shield as he spoke and jumped off the donkey cart. When he looked back, he saw Zhang Heng putting away the Persian sword.
“Huh? Didn’t you see their determination? Even if you surrender now, they won’t let you go,” Bach reminded.
“I didn’t want to surrender, but there is no need to fight face-to-face,” Zhang Heng said.
“Are you scared?” Bach asked rhetorically.
“Kind of. I’m not worried about myself. If a fight breaks out, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be diverting my attention to you. I am worried that you will be killed by one of them. Besides, these people are still useful to . What he said before is true. I need them to be my stepping stones and use their honor and fa that they have accumulated to send
to the top. The last big show has not started yet. I can’t kill all of them right now.”
“Are you going to act so arrogantly before you die?” Sartonilos sneered, “Look at your surroundings. There is no way for you to leave this place now. You have to kill us all if you want to leave this place safely. But the question is, will you be able to do it?”
Before he could even finish, Zhang Heng replied to him, “Who says there is no way out?”
While Zhang Heng was talking, the shadow from a pair of enormous wings appeared on the wall behind him. And it was slowly spreading out.
“You’d better close your eyes later,” Zhang Heng said to Bach, who was still confused by the current circumstance.
