Chapter 4269 Rescue (Part Two)

Whoosh!

In an instant, the aura of the Life-energy Graver became even sharper.

The overwhelming aura that it was emitting almost penetrated directly into the scroll.

Before the intense aura of the graver, Zen felt a shiver shot down his spine. His body started trembling
as if telling him that he might not be able to withstand the next blow.

However, at this crucial moment, a flock of beasts from the scroll painting suddenly rushed over to
them.

On one of the beasts sat a graceful woman. It turned out that she was actually the fox girl who lived in
the Eternal Scroll Painting.

As she reached Zen, the fox girl waved his fingers around him, and a hexagram array instantly
enveloped him. When the array was completely formed, she immediately told Zen to get out of that
place.

Buzz! Buzz!

The moment that the array was activated, Zen's body was also released from the Eternal Scroll
Painting.

As he stood on the surface of the Eternal Scroll Painting in his normal form, he saw the huge face of
the brush-wielder floating in the sky, along with his fast-approaching Life-energy Graver.

"What the hell have you done?! Are you out of your mind? Why did you save him?!"

The brush-wielder couldn't believe that the fox girl would betray him during such a critical moment.



Folding her arms over her chest, the fox girl stared coldly at the brush-wielder and said, "I don't think
you should be the one asking questions here. Why don't you answer my question first? What the hell
are you really trying to do?"

At this point, the brush-wielder realized that the fox girl must have heard the earlier conversation
between him and Zen.

However, he didn't have time to deal and argue with the fox girl right now. His priority was to eliminate
Zen as soon as he could.

But now that Zen was finally set free from the Eternal Scroll Painting, there was no way that he was
going to stand idly and wait for the brush-wielder to attack him again.

Just now, it seemed that he remained still as the sharp graver came right towards him. But when the
graver was about to land on his body, his figure gradually blurred and turned into a shadow that
eventually dissipated.

The next moment, the brush-wielder was shocked as Zen appeared in front of his face. "Well, it seems
that she also doesn't agree with you," Zen said in a mocking tone.

Crash! Boom!

Right after finishing what he said, Zen suddenly threw a massive punch on the huge smiling face
before him.

Then, the smiling face instantly disappeared and turned into a crying face.

As soon as the crying face emerged, Zen threw another punch at him again.

Smash! Boom!



It was Zen's turn to launch his own strikes. He threw lightning-fast massive punches towards the brush-
wielder's face, making it rapidly shift between the crying face and the smiling one. Soon enough, the
huge face began to break apart, and the cracks quickly extended to all directions.

Generally, the brush-wielder was the one in charge of all the passageways leading to the secondary
worlds, and his abilities were supposed to only serve this purpose. Thus, his fighting abilities were not
that strong enough.

As he faced Zen, who was now able to exhibit all of his skills without restrictions, the brush-wielder
definitely had no chance to fight back at all.

Floating above the Eternal Scroll painting, the fox girl displayed a conflicted expression across her
beautiful face.

She was actually surprised that she had chosen to save Zen on a whim.

For countless years, she had been totally obedient to the brush-wielder because of her dream. She
wished that one day, she would be able to return to the main world and regain her previous life.

With Zen's appearance, she thought that her dream was being slowly brought to reality. The brush-
wielder was the one who told her that Zen was the key to completing their goals.

However, when she heard the conversation between Zen and the brush-wielder earlier, the fox girl
almost went mad.

She realized that all this time, she had been living in a lie. Her dream immediately shattered before her.

That was the reason why she chose to save and release Zen from the Eternal Scroll Painting.

As Zen continued his menacing attacks, the cracks had completely covered the brush-wielder's face.



Crash! Boom!

Finally, the brush-wielder's face collapsed and broke into countless pieces.

The shattered pieces dropped onto the Eternal Scroll Painting and could no longer make any move.

After ensuring that he already vanquished the brush-wielder, Zen descended onto the Eternal Scroll
Painting and slowly approached the fox girl.

"Thank you for saving me…" Zen cupped his hands towards her.

"No need to thank me. Just go ahead," the fox girl answered in an indifferent tone as she waved her
hand, motioning for him to leave.

"Okay then." Zen nodded as he quickly walked towards the exit of the Eternal Scroll Painting. He
needed to hurry now because he wasted so much time dealing with the brush-wielder.

But as he was about to step out of the Eternal Scroll Painting, the fox girl suddenly asked, "How
confident are you that you can defeat the downgrader?"

Zen paused for a moment before he turned around, wearing a bitter smile on his face. "I actually don't
have the confidence."

After the downgrader obtained the mighty sword that once belonged to the Cinnabar race, Zen couldn't
even start imagining how powerful he already became.

"What?" The fox girl was almost rendered speechless, obviously dissatisfied with his answer. Even her
charming face faded in an instant.

"Nonetheless, I'll still try my best."

Zen just smiled at her before he went straight to the exit of the Eternal Scroll Painting.
