865 Justice Delayed
"Boom! Boom!" Two loud explosions rang out almost simultaneously as Captain Guan's Tiger-Slaying Hammer struck Captain Cheng's head with incredible speed and precision from both sides.
Its speed and power were so great that even time itself seemed to be shaken, and space itself seemed to tremble.
At this moment, Captain Cheng seemed to have not yet recovered from the shock. His eyes were filled with disbelief and fear, and his body was stiff as a stone, unable to move. These two attacks from both sides were like the sky falling and the earth splitting apart for him, a matter of life and death.
There was nowhere to escape, nowhere to retreat. My thoughts suddenly ceased.
In a daze, he seemed to see the ordinary people he had tortured and killed, the maids and servants he had casually slaughtered, and the innocent people who had died unjustly and were kicked in two by him, who did not have time to go on their way.
At this moment, it seems as if they have all come to claim my life.
Under Captain Guan's thunderous strike, the Tiger-Slaying Hammer, like a judgment hammer descended from the heavens, carried irresistible power, striking from both sides and landing precisely on Captain Cheng's head.
The sky is falling and the earth is cracking!
With a deafening "bang!" that shook the heavens, Captain Cheng's head was instantly shattered by the terrifying power of the Tiger-Slaying Hammer, his flesh and blood flying everywhere and his brains splattering.
Extremely tragic, yet extremely exhilarating.
Captain Guan's eyes showed no fluctuation, only a more resolute and ruthless killing intent. The residual power of the Tiger-Slaying Hammer was still there, trembling slightly in the air and emitting a low rumble, as if it were happy for its master.
Without another word, Captain Guan shot out towards the Yu family mansion. The grudges of Xuzhou needed to be settled today.
Yun Baiyi and Zhang Dazhuang headed quickly towards the Tian family, while Shanlong and Bi Fengxing headed towards the Cheng family. Mi Zhanguo and Gu Shanqing each led two groups to clear out the gangs.
Just moments ago, they were besieging tax-refusing gang members with thick sticks, and in the blink of an eye, they saw their heads fly off. High in the air, they screamed inwardly, "I can fly! I can fly!"
Amidst the pervasive aura of blood, He Chen stood silently alone. [Add 550 to Kill Points] [Add 100 to Kill Points] flashed rapidly before his eyes.
More than 5,000 enemy soldiers were all killed.
With the Five Blessings Formation empowering them, the soldiers suddenly felt extraordinary, their moves becoming incredibly strange and powerful, growing stronger with each battle, as if they were about to break through their limits.
Mi Zhan Guo and Gu Shan Qing took the lead, shouting, "Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy! Leave no one alive!"
The killing intent was palpable, like icy ice from the heavens, causing the air to tear apart in fear and emit chilling gusts. Amidst the swirling dust, spears and flashes of silver lightning appeared, coming to claim lives.
The thousand-strong army swept through the streets like an iron torrent, where thugs and ruffians filled the streets.
Long spears stood like a forest, gleaming with a cold, sharp light!
Two armies of a thousand men each faced a group of arrogant and wicked thugs who had bullied the people and committed all sorts of evil deeds. Today, they finally faced the punishment they deserved.
The thugs were terrified and quickly dropped their weapons. They ran away as fast as they could, wishing they had more legs.
Mi Zhan Guo and Gu Shan Qing roared, "Kill!"
The thousand-strong army surged forth like a floodgate opened, unstoppable, towards the local thugs and ruffians.
The spears, like dragons, drew deadly arcs in the air, piercing chests without mercy. Blood splattered everywhere, staining the earth red and igniting the anger and sense of justice in the hearts of the soldiers.
'Run! Run!' I wish I had two more wings so I could step on you, step on you, push you, and push you.
As long as I can run faster than you, I won't be the one who dies.
Wherever the army went, the local thugs and ruffians were slaughtered, their corpses lying haphazardly on the ground, and blood flowed like a river.
The thousand-strong army maintained their neat formation, their spears still firmly gripped in their hands, advancing rapidly and methodically; today, only slaughter mattered.
Sunlight spills down, creating a mottled, blood-red hue!
As the footsteps of the army faded into the distance, the streets returned to a brief silence, but this silence contained an indescribable shock, as bloodshed raged on.
The bold people, those who had been oppressed in their daily lives, finally mustered up the courage to peek out at the outside world through the narrow crack in the door.
His gaze fell on the devastated battlefield not far away, where the corpses of thugs and ruffians were scattered all over the ground, their blood reflecting the sunlight in a particularly glaring way.
At this moment, a complex mix of emotions surged within them—a mixture of laughter and tears, tears of joy at the bully finally getting his comeuppance, and a glimmer of hope for the future.
"Thank you, soldiers, for avenging my son!" Someone knelt down first, their voice soft but full of gratitude.
Immediately afterwards, more people poured out of their homes and followed suit, kneeling or bowing to express their gratitude to the army in the most simple and sincere way.
Tears and sweat mingled, blurring their vision, but their heartfelt joy and relief were so clear.
We must kowtow in gratitude; this is the only way, and the only way!
He Chen quietly sensed that the entire Nanhe Prefecture was dominated by the forces of the Martial King, concentrated in the three directions of the Tian family, the Cheng family, and the Yu family.
There are also two slums in the city!
There were a few more outside the city; it was quite interesting.
In the slums, amidst the distant shouts of battle, it seemed as if those thugs who hadn't had time to hide were being pierced into pincushions by spears. If they didn't act soon, they might miss their chance.
"Altar Master, let's begin." Inside a low-lying house with a courtyard, the Crimson Flame Demon Cultist's face was filled with anger and resentment.
A burly man with a face full of scars and a black mole the size of a thumb on the corner of his mouth said angrily in a low voice, "Master, this has ruined our important plans. The people's resentment is almost at its peak."
Tonight, we'll stir things up a bit, getting these people to join us in storming the wealthy district, causing chaos in the city. At least hundreds of thousands will die.
We should take this opportunity to offer a sacrifice; we will surely gain the favor of the gods and be able to advance further. My lord will definitely be able to break through to the Martial Emperor realm.
"We can't wait any longer, sir. Let's start immediately."
The altar master's expression wavered, because on the other side, the other altar master had not yet made any move.
I was just about to agree.
Suddenly, the air seemed to freeze, and an indescribable binding force surged from all directions, tightly binding the two of them in an invisible cage.
The power was so immense it was suffocating, as if even time itself was frozen, leaving the two feeling an unprecedented sense of despair and helplessness.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling silver light, like lightning piercing the night sky, suddenly shot out from between the two.
The silver light was so fast that it almost exceeded the limits of what the naked eye could perceive. It carried destructive power, tearing space apart. It appeared suddenly, too fast to react to.
