Article 871: The Prefect, deceased.



Prefect Cheng (871) died.

You can even feel subtle changes throughout your body. Your blood and qi are like boiling water being sprayed out under 100 atmospheres of pressure, and your true qi is like a tornado, flowing faster and faster, with heat spreading throughout your body.

At this moment, I can clearly feel the heat surging in my flowing blood, and my whole body feels like a mist about to condense.

The two exchanged a silent glance, accelerated their sprint, and charged forward to kill!

Yun Baiyi's eyes were icy as he whispered, "Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

His figure moved like lightning, rushing towards Prefect Cheng faster and faster. In just three steps, his momentum reached its peak, and an invisible storm gathered around him.

What defense? There was no defense. He swung his broadsword at Prefect Cheng's head, the blade flashing, its cold light reflecting the sunlight and gleaming.

Prefect Cheng instantly calmed down, and suddenly a long sword appeared in his hand. He thrust it at Yun Baiyi with great speed. With a clang, the sword and blade attacked from both sides, seemingly evenly matched.

But at this moment, his head flew into the air, blood shooting three feet high!

The sudden slash caught Prefect Cheng completely off guard, leaving him no time to prepare or retaliate!

Yun Baiyi's sudden and sharp slash, like a fleeting glimpse of a swan flying from the sky, flashed across Prefect Cheng's neck like lightning.

With a single, divine stroke, a massive head was severed, its face contorted with rage.

Both being at the Martial King realm, Yun Baiyi's blade flashed, and Prefect Cheng's protective aura was easily shattered as if made of paper, vanishing without a trace.

A single, two-fold slash, delivered simultaneously and without warning, claimed his life. His eyes blazed with fury, and his mind brimming with curses, yet he could utter no words.

The wind stopped in fright the moment the head flew off.

For a moment, the entire battlefield fell silent, as if time itself had been frozen by the power of that single strike.

"The patriarch is dead!" "The prefect is dead!" A moment later, a chaotic cacophony of voices erupted.

Screams and exclamations rose and fell, as if sharp blades were slicing through the silence. The faces of the Cheng family members behind them changed drastically, turning as pale as paper.

Some people stood frozen in place, as if they had been frozen in place, unable to move. But Zhang Dazhuang and the others did not wait at all. Those who waited, those who stood frozen, watched helplessly as their heads shot into the sky and their headless bodies collapsed to the ground.

Blood splattered all over his face, and the people behind the Cheng family head began to flee in panic, as if they were being chased by evil spirits. They staggered and fell to the ground, wishing they were mice and could crawl into any hole they could find.

They fled, fled, and those who fell struggled to their feet again, continuing their desperate escape.

The deadly footsteps and the clanging of armor from the soldiers behind them were like the wailing of a vengeful ghost, each impact like the claws of a demon scratching at one's soul.

The sun was still shining brightly, but the people from the Cheng family who had fled felt as if countless ghosts were screaming in the night sky, and evil spirits were coming from hell behind them, coming to claim their lives.

The nephew of the Cheng family turned pale and ran away desperately, shouting as he fled, "Don't kill me, or my cousin will definitely avenge me."

Cousin, cousin, help me!

"Cousin, save me!" "Cousin, save me!"

His face turned pale, as if he had been terrified. At this moment, all the glory and arrogance of being Cheng's nephew were gone!

"Captain Cheng, you must save me now, or if I die, my aunt will kill all the men in your family, and send the women to..."

With a 'ripping' sound, the spear pierced through the chest, like the sound of cloth being torn. It easily penetrated the chest armor.

At the same time, another spear suddenly pierced his forehead with lightning speed, and blood gushed out like a punctured water bag, shooting three feet away, a mixture of red and white.

Yun Baiyi's expression was cold and stern, as resolute and ruthless as an iceberg. Charging at the forefront, with a broadsword in hand, his killing intent remained undiminished, his eyes extremely cold, indifference and ruthlessness unable to conceal the murderous intent in his heart.

He thought to himself, "This world should be ruled by the Holy Emperor, or perhaps by my son-in-law!"

Recalling the intelligence regarding the Demon Slayer Division and the acquisition, the crimes and evil deeds of the Cheng family surfaced in his mind. The Holy Emperor had only been absent for less than a year, yet they dared to engage in such human trafficking, sacrifice to evil gods, and collude with demons and monsters—they truly deserved to die!

This intelligence strengthened his resolve: [The entire Cheng family deserves to die!]

He gave the order again, "Leave no one alive!" His voice was cold and decisive, filled with a strong killing intent that chilled the air.

Zhang Dazhuang remained silent, his eyes blazing with undisguised ferocity and murderous intent. He didn't seem to have many thoughts in mind. [Was I wrong to kill him? Oh, then I'll kill him!]

His figure moved swiftly across the battlefield, feeling exceptionally at ease. There was no opponent he couldn't kill with a single strike. He felt his blood surging, thinking, "Today, I will avenge you all."

The shouts of killing and the cries of weeping, though it was broad daylight, sounded like thunderclaps in the night sky, with flickering will-o'-the-wisps and eerie laughter like that of a night owl.

Inside the outer city, outside the Silver Gang, shouts of battle filled the air. The seven members of the Demon Slayer Division wielded their blades without mercy, slicing watermelons one by one with each strike!

All seven were at the fifth or sixth level. Their blood energy exploded, like a sudden gust of wind, blowing up wisps of smoke. As they moved, their long swords left no survivors.

Today, within the Silver Gang, regardless of right or wrong, those who cannot escape will die, and those who can escape will face post-event pursuit. No one can escape; those who plunder others' property, set traps, or bully other men's wives and daughters will all die today.

The leading squad leader remained calm, saying cryptically as he killed, "Kill only the ringleader; the rest, disarm and spare them!"

I was filled with doubt, wondering if I had eaten something strange today. [Could it have been pork kidneys? That's incredibly potent!]

I felt exceptionally powerful today, with my blood and energy exploding rapidly, covering my entire body, especially my arms, which were exceptionally strong. My true energy surged forth, feeling as if it was about to leave my body, and a breakthrough seemed to be just around the corner.

His face flushed red, and he thought to himself, "I don't have much true energy, and I've been saving it up for a long time. It would be a huge loss to use it here."

As a sixth-tier squad leader, he had condensed several strands of true energy, which had been accumulated over a long period of time. When he unleashed his true energy, it would not only double his strength but also be able to kill Yin Ghosts and demonic beasts. It would be a waste to waste it here.

As they were thinking, they saw that the Silver Gang leader and his three vice-leaders were already staring intently at the seven of them with their weapons, and their expressions did not seem so afraid.

All that could be heard was the Silver Gang Leader, shirtless, strong and powerful, holding a two-hundred-pound broadsword planted in the ground, his hand gripping it tightly without the slightest loosening.

His eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly ignoring the dead and wounded members of his gang. He bowed slightly and said in a fawning voice, "My lords, the Silver Gang always acts according to the rules, and our tributes have never been lacking. Please come in and rest for a while."
