There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions of Starting a Harem

Part 4.5

Since the high level zombie was defeated, the low leveled ones broke their circle formation and ambled aimlessly. The forces pressuring them suddenly broke. Yan Zheng and Liang Ping immediately charged to where Ye Zhizhou was.

In a blink of an eye Liang Ping already reached Ye Zhizhou; one hand took hold of him from behind while another took out his scalpel to launch an attack at the tall thin man. Yan Zheng arrived one second later, his sword plunged in and his flame surged with its scorching heat.

"Quite interesting." The tall man hummed. His hand lightly waved and a strong gust of wind ripped up. There was a sound of metal clashing against metal, and when Ye Zhizhou turned his head he saw Liang Ping's scalpel just as it was blocked by chopsticks the tall man whipped out — Liang Ping's scalpel was also stuck inside the spiral line pattern of the chopsticks — it looked quite comical. On the other side the fire was blown askew by the wind but Yan Zheng's sword unerringly pierced through that thin man's big overcoat. Just when Ye Zhizhou thought Yan Zheng's attack was successful the coat tore and the lower hem was blown up by the wind, forcing Yan Zheng back to the warehouse door.

What a menace!

Ye Zhizhou's heart sank. He hurriedly spread out the spiritual force he gathered and turned it into a layer of silk, condensed them into needle-like shapes, and fiercely stabbed towards the thin man's brain. During all those, his hands never paused, one of his hands tried to blind the man and another hand pushed at the man's chest. While Liang Ping's grasp on him dragged him away, Ye Zhizhou raised his leg and kicked the man's family jewels!

The thin man went stiff from Ye Zhizhou's sudden offensive. His head raised and his body leaned away to avoid his kick. Ye Zhizhou got him to loosen his hold, but the man's hand swiftly grabbed at his arm and pulled Ye Zhizhou right back to his embrace! That man seemed to sense the sharpened spiritual needles approaching since his yellowish pupils shrank — a somewhat weak spiritual force spread out quickly, forming a thin film of protection. It blocked Ye Zhizhou's needles from his brain!

Two spiritual forces clashed and both groaned in pain at the same time. The harsh wind around the thin man lessened as the tight grip on Ye Zhizhou loosened. Liang Ping quickly withdrew with Ye Zhizhou in hand while Yan Zheng took the chance to attack again and aimed his sword at the thin man!

"Stop, stop!" Ye Zhizhou endured his headache and yelled out in panic. His body moved faster than his thoughts, he threw himself in front of Yan Zheng. "He's on our side! Don't attack!"

Yan Zheng stopped his offensive and the other man used this opening to retreat. Liang Ping ran to Ye Zhizhou and pulled him back to his side.

It was a strange stand-off.

The spiritual forces merged and twined together after clashing against each other, emitting ecstatic joy in his mind. The other man's force divided into several strands, reaching over as though coming home, and caressed his face.

As he expected...... Caught between laughter and tears he wiped his own face and patted the two men by his side to placate them. Ye Zhizhou gave the thin man gradually slowing down a once over from top to bottom. He couldn't suppress his smile, "Stop fighting for now. These two are my companions, and uh, what's your name?"

The other man looked puzzledly at him, he stepped forward unconsciously and covered his forehead.

"What is my name......." He muttered to himself. He had a moment of frustration before returning into his previous calm, his yellowish pupils only sank deeply for a moment as well before returning into a lighter colour, but his hand continued to clutch his forehead and the force he exerted made the skin there redden. The zombies around him seemed to be affected by his emotions and anxiously issued low growls.
