The Great Merchant in the Cataclysm Chapter 90

Chapter 90: Dragging The Time

Zhang Mu’s expression changed slightly . Combined with the weight of the fat man, the flame-punch was indeed powerful . This type of evolver was extremely popular during the first period after the Cataclysm . All they had to do was to use their body to release the power of their abilities .

Zhang Mu felt the heat in the air and slightly tilted his body . The fat man’s punch didn’t hit him .

“He managed to dodge the fat man’s punch . Is he an agility-enhanced evolver? Seems like the enhancement is not small . ”

The man who was watching the fight from afar muttered to himself . However, he was still unconcerned . As a person who defeated Bai Feng and reached this area, he definitely had some abilities up his sleeve .

However, no matter how strong he is, the man thought, this is my area . In my area, I have the final say .

Zhang Mu had maneuvered to the back of the fat man and pierced the claw into his back . The huge layer of fat blocked it from reaching his vitals and Zhang Mu was not able to meaningfully injure the fat man . Just as he was about to pull the claw out, his eyes narrowed and he decisively let go of the Obsidian Beetle claw .

Flames started to appear on the back of the fat man . The flames were trying to reach Zhang Mu’s hands through the tip of the Obsidian Beetle claw .

The fat man could actually use his fire element on his entire body .

“His reaction is really fast . He even dodged the fat man’s automatic fire defense . ”

The man who was still observing the fight started to think more highly of Zhang Mu . This automatic fire defense had caused many people to suffer heavy losses because the flames ignited almost instantaneously .

However, the man wearing the mask managed to escape from any injuries .

Zhang Mu lost his Obsidian Beetle claw . He looked at the fat man who was turning around with mixed feelings .

The fat man didn’t bother about the object that was stuck to his back . He was very angry . To him, Zhang Mu was just food, an item . How could food attack and hurt him?

Without a pause, he punched Zhang Mu again and again . Zhang Mu shifted his body and evaded all the attacks . In the end, the fat man didn’t even touch a corner of Zhang Mu’s clothes .

Actually, Zhang Mu was trying to drag the time . He was waiting for their leader to appear, the silver-hair middle age man . If he showed his true powers now and scare away the real mastermind, all the efforts would be in vain . This was why he hadn’t used the Bloodvine Lotus and only used his powerful body to deal with this fat guy .

The fat guy got irritated after many failed attacks and the jeering behind him . He couldn’t stand it anymore and with an angry howl, his entire body was cloaked in flames . He made himself a real human torch . He charged at Zhang Mu, no longer throwing punches . He wanted to use the heat from his body and burn Zhang Mu alive .

After retreating for a distance, Zhang Mu had already reached a dead end . He wanted to turn in another direction but the human torch disrupted his plans .

At this moment, all the audience felt that Zhang Mu was dead . Some were even anticipating his burnt look .

“That stupid fat man always burn the meat till its charred . Only he likes to eat it that way . If I knew this was going to happen, I would not give in to him . Such a waste . But I guess he is able to finish the man himself . ”

“Yes, we can only look forward to drinking some soup . I think that our leader is so powerful because he ate evolvers . ” The man who said this received a death glare from the man who gave the command and he shut up . If the leader heard what he said, he might die a terrible death .

“Why aren’t you running away?”

Zhang Mu could vaguely see the vicious face of the fat man through the flames . He seemed to have regained his composure . Zhang Mu stared at him quietly . The fat man blocked off everyone’s view . That meant that the Bloodvine Lotus could appear now .

Just as the fat man was about to pounce onto Zhang Mu, an opening appeared on Zhang Mu’s left arm . Under the fearful gaze of the fat man, a sturdy vine that was full of pricks appeared out of the skin and broke through his fire defense . The next second, the vine reached his chest .

The fats in his chest were sucked dry and his skin sagged . Zhang Mu felt disgusted . He didn’t know the Bloodvine Lotus had such a heavy taste . Does it suck such disgusting fats? Zhang Mu felt his hair standing when he realised that the Bloodvine Lotus was inside his body . A chill ran down his spine . It dissipated all the heat coming from the fat man .

Zhang Mu controlled the vine well and didn’t let it penetrate the body all the way . The audience was still wondering why the fat man stopped his attack . Some of them thought that the fat man suddenly decided to be nice and split the man with them .

At this moment, the Bloodvine Lotus had sucked the fat man dry and the fat man’s eyes had stopped moving . It was as though he couldn’t believe Zhang Mu actually killed him . If it was the first few times Zhang Mu used the Bloodvine Lotus, he would have been worried whether the Bloodvine Lotus could break through the fire defense system . However, after being baptised by the merchant’s flames, he didn’t have such worries anymore .

Some time had passed and the audience were starting to become suspicious . Finally, when the flames on the fat man extinguished, they realised that something was wrong . Zhang Mu kicked away the 100 kg of meat and exposed himself once again to the cannibals .

The man in command finally became serious . He knew that even he didn’t have the confidence to kill the fat man so quickly when the fat man launches his ultimate attack . Yet, Zhang Mu did it . This fact alone was scary enough .

Could it be that this man whom they thought was just a normal evolver was actually someone not to be provoked?

No, that is not possible . Even if he is that strong, he cannot defeat all the evolvers here .

But why am I feeling hesitant? What am I afraid of?

To be safe, the commander decided to attack together with all the men behind him .
