151 Wild Crazy Five
At this moment, the head of the Chai family was unpredictable. He was as light as a feather and struck He Chen in the blink of an eye. The power was immense. The true energy on the tip of the sword was boundless. He hit the sword with all his might and felt the swordsman's body.
He laughed wildly to himself, then roared in frustration, "Die, you filthy bug! You arrogant brat who doesn't know his place! I'll chop you into a thousand pieces and feed you to the fish!"
As if he had finally avenged a great grudge, a palm-sized weapon came from the side in an instant, slapping him across the face with incredible speed. The head spun around several times, leaving the Chai family head still in disbelief.
The Huang family head's mouth was so wide open that an egg could fit inside. The Demon King Wen also looked solemn, holding a short sword in his hand. It was made of an unknown mineral, glowing with a faint red light, extremely alluring, as if it were about to suck blood at any moment.
Shiba Inu stood frozen in place!
With a thud, the Huang family head knelt down, begging for mercy, "Young hero, spare my life! I had no choice! Please, young hero, spare my life! I will offer all my family's wealth to you, sir!"
The moment he finished speaking, a cold light flashed, and in a split second of terror, he tried to dodge but it was too late. The blade cleaved down from his head, splitting him in two. The power of the blade was so great that it carved a three-zhang-long, half-zhang-deep gash into the ground.
'If I spare you, who will spare me? I'm so kind and cute, and I don't cling to anyone. Who will let me go?' He Chen muttered to himself, then his eyes flashed as he took a step towards the Demon King Wen.
The blade slashed down suddenly. The dazzling blade energy, the violent momentum, was so fast it was invisible to the naked eye. The blade's roar was like a dragon's cry, and the air crackled as it cleaved through the air, as if it were about to tear a huge hole in it.
Sensing immense danger, the Demon King Wen instantly revealed his true form—a serpent king thirty feet tall—appearing from the sky. He opened his blood-red maw, ready to devour He Chen in an instant.
With a sweep of its massive tail, it instantly destroyed the houses on both sides, its imposing aura seemingly capable of swallowing the heavens and the earth. The other demonic beasts instantly transformed into wolf demons, dog demons, bear demons, and so on, some four or five zhang tall, some ten zhang tall, their eyes now cautious yet extremely frenzied.
A large number of houses collapsed in the surrounding area, and the faint auras within the city were instantly terrified. This was a Demon King! A sixth-tier demon beast! So many of them! They could slaughter this city. King Chai Wu had just been slain; who would save them now?
"Quickly, quickly take the young lady and young master out through the secret passage! If the danger has passed, come back; if not, never come back!"
Families with even a slight secret passage are making sure their offspring leave quickly!
Unexpectedly, such a monstrous beast managed to infiltrate this place. There are armed guards and demon slayers here, but they have all run into problems. Some family heads shudder at the thought.
He Chen soared into the air and charged into the snake's mouth, which was as big as a house. He no longer held back on his Gentleman's Blade, enveloping it with the Thunderfire Heart Technique. Instantly, a ten-zhang-long blade of energy extended out, along with a white flame mixed with dazzling lightning power. The blinding light illuminated the night sky, and the flame flickered like a thunderstorm in the sky, bright and dazzling.
He Chen swung his sword with exhilarating ease, leaping directly into the snake demon king's mouth. The blade flashed, slashing down from the mouth and cleanly piercing through the belly, his body dripping with demonic blood as if he had been fished out of a pool of blood.
Seeing the real blood, and thinking that the Demon King's blood shouldn't be wasted, he put it into his spatial ring.
Then, facing the bewildered wolf, bear, and monkey, Junzi Daodao slashed at the nearest demonic beast. The wolf demon was cleaved in two. Then, with another strike, the bear demon was split in two. Each strike drew blood, terrifying the demonic beasts, who turned and fled!
With a broadsword slung over his shoulder, he could cover eight thousand feet in a single step. Within that step, Yama, the King of Hell, would claim lives and begin his pursuit. He would catch up with one and kill it, instantly finishing it off with several more blows. The corpses of the wolf demon, bear demon, monkey demon, and even a weasel were all instantly stored in his spatial dimension.
The kill point flashed by quickly.
Chai Chuanteng dropped his weapon on the ground with a clatter. Ignoring his official robes, he cried out, "Young hero, spare my life! Demon slayer, spare my life! I'm willing to atone for my sins and perform meritorious service. Please, sir, spare my dog's life!"
Besides, I hold an official position. If you, young hero, kill me, you'll be in big trouble. Perhaps you could just let me go like a fart?
Then, looking at the dazed Mi Zhanguo, he said, "I promise I will manage the police station well from now on and serve the people. Lord Mi, please plead for me."
Mi Zhanguo, jolted back to his senses by the shout, was still reeling from the chill in his heart. 'I wish the Chai family would perish, but that's not how it's going to happen!'
Hearing Chai Chuanteng plead for mercy, the official was at a loss for words. He could only speak the truth: 'Sir, Director Chai is a sixth-rank official of the imperial court. If you were to execute him, it would likely require a report to the emperor. Perhaps it would be better to wait for the court to handle the matter.'
He Chen arrived in a flash, a cold light flashing, and his neck was severed. His head fell to the ground, eyes wide, seemingly in disbelief. 'I am a court official! You dare kill an official? You dare rebel?'
Then, 'What did you say? It was windy just now, I didn't hear you!'
After saying that, he turned around and began searching through the crowd on the ground, not caring at all about the dirt. He collected items from chests, inner pockets, and even from the Chai family head and the Huang family head in an instant. His movements were swift, agile, and incredibly skilled, leaving Mi Zhanguo dumbfounded!
He Chen's movements were incredibly fast and fluid. He was overjoyed; he had struck it rich! He had so many silver notes.
He instantly appeared beside Mi Zhanguo, asking, "Does the Huang and Chai families own a lot of land and shops?"
Mi Zhanguo immediately snapped out of his daze. Facing the man, soaked to the bone and still dripping blood, he respectfully replied, "Yes, sir, the Huang and Chai families own many shops, houses, and thousands of acres of prime farmland."
"Alright, alright, you seem pretty good. I'll give you a chance. Would you like to be my subordinate? Don't worry, I won't force you if you don't. If you do, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits!"
Seeing that Mi Zhanguo had been able to fight the Yin Ghost alone, He Chen figured that Mi Zhanguo's character couldn't be too bad. He casually asked if he was willing, but if not, it didn't matter. He was determined to take it. He needed to support this army of a thousand men, so he had to get some land. As for what would happen later?
I just glanced at my kill points—350,000. I'll just add more. Right now, I'll claim this first. If anyone else wants it, fine, they can come at me with knives.
Mi Zhanguo was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt down and bowed, 'Greetings, sir! Thank you for your high regard!' He had suffered the bitterness of having no backing, and now he had an opportunity. If he missed it, how would he turn things around? A backer capable of slaying a Martial King—this manor should think twice. For the sake of the dead, was it worth turning against a young hero capable of slaying a Martial King?
I don't know, but since the young hero has no subordinates coming, Mi Zhanguo doesn't want to miss such an opportunity. He has to give it his all today!
