In only a little more than an hour, the entirety of Haiqing City turned into the warriors' worst nightmare as thousands of battle pets were slaughtered that day and just as many warriors either maimed or wounded.
Still, even in the aftermath, no one yet knew who the people behind all this atrocity were.
What was more mind-boggling were the behavior of the soldiers who had always given the warriors and their pets a wide berth in the past. As if succumbing to a mindless frenzy, they too began to fire their weapons at every beast that appeared in their line of sights, aiming specifically for their heads that some of the beasts ended up blind and even if they managed to survive the massacre.
A blind battle pet was as good as a useless one that left their owners the only choice of killing them themselves.
Nevertheless, there were also warriors who were quick and sharp of mind. One only had to ponder about any possible names in the domai
With all the speed he could muster, Chu Xun zipped through the sky as quickly as lightning at Mach 2.5. Even with his fortified endurance, he could not help feeling his skin burning because of the air friction.At the same time, the entire Haiqing City erupted to life at the rumbling coming from the motors of several dozen army trucks rushing towards the western suburbs of the city.The journey from the army garrison to there, which should have taken at least an hour via transportation took Chu Xun only ten minutes.It was already dark and the numerous factories in the vicinity loomed ominously in the twilight like predators skulking in the shadows, waiting to pounce.His Divine Sense projected forth like a wave, sweeping through everything within a radius of a thousand meters, and his mind filled with images of everything that he sensed.But the area was just too wide and Chu Xun needed to change directions every now
The Cultists and all Fusang wandering warriors were all rounded up and taken back to the army garrison to be kept under lock and key."Tell me, what your plans are?" asked Chu Xun frostily at the shackled Mocheng and his cohorts. The interrogation was being held at the field in the camp."We are only here for the ancient ruins outside the city," said Mocheng, still grimacing at the wound at the back of his head. He looked badly bruised and battered; the soldiers must have given him an extra round of beating during the way back.Chu Xun's lips twisted into a sardonic grin."It is no secret that I am nowhere near the kindest person you'll ever encounter. Tell us the truth, and you shall have a quick and clean death. But if you think you can take more abuse, pray take a look around."Mocheng jerked his head around and what he saw made him sweat profusely. Scores of soldiers were watching the interrogation on the sidelines
The next day.All of Haiqing City – warriors and even common folk alike – simmered with commotion, all because of one story.Be it warriors or common folk, everyone thronged the streets, heading towards the community plaza of the city.At the square, a sea of black swarmed like a mass of black ants undulating erratically.Tens of soldiers, all of them armed to the teeth, standing at attention at the center of the plaza with their weapons all fully loaded.A line of prisoners, all of them with their heads hooded, knelt on the ground in a straight file."Is this a shooting execution?""Looks like it. What have these people done to warrant such a punishment, I wonder?""Well, it's carried out by soldiers. You can bet the prisoners aren't our usual garden-variety thieves. They must be some heinous villains or something."A drone of hushed murmurs rose over the mob of spec
Fragmented glass shards rained down over the crowds below in a deadly shower as everyone scrambled to safety.The burst of shock from the crash was so great that the air crackled and reeked of burning ozone.Still hovering in the air with the help of his exoskeletal winged jetpack, the stranger grunted painfully, his face was now a deathly shade of white as his internal energies boiled and churned uncontrollably inside him. With great difficulty, he fought to suppress the roiling energies in him and calm himself, preventing from internal damage that would make him vomit blood, and managed a shocked glare at Chu Xun.But a sneer quickly reformed on his face; with no foothold, Chu Xun began to fall.Only the glee on face froze not even a second later as a long whip glittering with a bright purplish glow wrapped around his waist, pulling him down as well.The exhaust of his jetpack blazed on afterburner in his vain attemp
The winds of war never stopped brewing.As if to shove more kindling into the bonfire of the furor, someone from the Broken Souls Cult started a thread on the Martial Tao Forum with only one simple sentence:"Will you dare fight us in open combat, Chu the Devil?"With their plans to ambush Chu Xun now in the open, they decided to openly challenge him.It would be a battle of great magnitude, that not even Huaxia, but also warriors of foreign domains kept closely abreast of.The name of Chu the Devil sent ripples across the domain of warriors, garnering even the interests of those abroad.Most prominent among foreign domains was the Fusang State. Since word of Chu Xun's execution of their warriors had reached their shores, numerous of them vowed to settle this score with him.It was already on the afternoon of the second day since his meditation ended, there was only barely a few hours left bef
At a muffled grunt, more Hong Meng Immortal Qi coiled around his person. His glowing fist flailed at each enemy he saw, firing bursts of magical bolts at them.Bang!The fist-like magic bolt blasted a First-grade Grandmaster into a fine mist of blood."I'LL KILL YOU ALL!"Purplish rays flared about 3.3 meters out of Chu Xun's eyes as his arm came up, exuding a thick aura of malice.A "sha" rune appeared in midair, expanding exponentially in split-seconds and barreled at a Third-grade Grandmaster.The Formula of Kill of the Hong Meng Scripture!The "sha" rune collided with the fists of the Grandmaster and exploded, roiling up a storm raging with purplish winds.The Third-grade Grandmaster howled painfully with his arm now mangled as he crashed several hundred meters away that even the ground almost burst underneath him.Swoosh!The cold blade of a saber ca
Wild winds raged and dark clouds swirled ominously overhead.The giant golden bell shone brilliantly in the darkened atmosphere of the storm, its hymnic chorale of Buddhist mantras swaying to the undulating, shiny golden ripples of its magic.A never-ending barrage of lightning bolts pummeled endlessly on the gigantic bell with glittering sparks bursting like fireworks."Strike all you want, Chu Xun. This is a Buddhist Sacred Relic and you'll never defeat it! This shall be your doom!" Luo Fei gloated exultantly.The rest of his Third-grade Human Kings reveled with renewed hope.Boom!The last ball lightning hurtled towards the huge golden bell, hitting it before extinguishing into a harmless fizzle.Chu Xun, having observed everything glumly, waved a hand and cancelled his magic. At his behest, the lightning stop ceased and the dark clouds overhead dispelled.This golden bell must
The mountain shook, and the earth trembled as the bright whirlpool of golden light stretched for more than ten miles. The golden light that burst out when the mountain exploded looked terrifying as if it could tear everything apart.Fear and disbelief filled Luo Fei's eyes. As a Fourth-grade Human King, never had he expected that anyone could possibly hit him and cause him to bleed.Petrified by fear for several seconds, Luo Fei still found it hard to believe that his nightmare was coming true. Yet, his throbbing arms confirmed to him that his fears were true, and Chu Xun very well possessed the ability to kill him.As his enemy drew near, Chu Xun raised his fists aloft with a cold look, being ready to deal with the final stroke.Luo Fei felt his heart skipping a beat, and he roared loudly, channeling what remained of his Internal Breath as he charged at Chu Xun in last-ditch desperation.Boom!Another mas
