Zhou Butong's face was filled with disbelief as he stared at the blood-stained sword that had pierced through his throat. His face was filled with disbelief. He could not believe that he would actually die in the hands of a little brat who was only in his early twenties. Now that he thought about this scene, Zhou Butong felt that everything was unreal. It was as if he was in a dream. Everything that had happened in less than half an hour was too sudden. Just a moment ago. He and the rest of the Zhou Clan's upper echelons were still discussing with the commander of Wake City's garrison army about how to deal with the magical beast wave. But now, in less than an hour, the Zhou Clan had already been annihilated.
Sighing in his heart, Zhou Butong's face was filled with unwillingness as he slowly closed his eyes. Following that, his old body slowly fell to the ground.
Jianchen coldly stared at Zhou Butong's body as he died. His expression did not change in the slightest. With the memories of his previous life, his mind had already become very firm. Excessive slaughter would not affect his state of mind in the slightest.
Slowly pulling out the Light Wind Sword from Zhou Butong's neck, Jianchen looked around for traces of Zhou Yun. But what he saw made his expression sink. In the entire Zhou clan's courtyard, there were only corpses everywhere. There was not a single living person, and Zhou Yun was nowhere to be found.
Seeing this, Jianchen's eyes flashed as he hatefully said, "I actually let him escape."
Jian Chen lightly sighed. His gaze swept over the corpses that littered the ground. In the end, his gaze landed on the Space Belt that Zhou Butong was wearing. He took two steps forward, squatted down in front of Zhou Butong, and reached out his hand to take off the Space Belt.
After all, Zhou Butong was the head of the clan, so he definitely had a lot of valuable items on him.
"Ah!" Just as Jianchen's eyes inadvertently landed on Zhou Butong's neck, his eyes suddenly narrowed. His eyes shone brightly as he stared at Zhou Butong's neck that was already dyed red with blood. At the neck, an extremely fine line appeared in Jianchen's eyes.
This line was extremely well hidden. Normally, it would be difficult to notice it with the naked eye. Now that it was dyed red with blood, it was exposed.
Jianchen slowly pulled open the collar of Zhou Butong's shirt, only to see a small and exquisite ring bound by a string, hanging on Zhou Butong's chest.
When he discovered the Space Ring, Jianchen's eyes could not help but light up. He exclaimed in a low voice, "It's actually a Space Ring." Jianchen's voice contained traces of delight.
For this spatial ring to be so secretively guarded by Zhou Butong, the items inside must be extremely valuable. Who knows, it might even be Zhou Butong's entire body.
After removing the interspatial ring from Jianchen's chest, Jianchen felt a little bit of excitement in his heart. However, at this time, it was clearly not the time to examine the contents of the interspatial ring. After keeping the interspatial ring, Jianchen did not stay for too long and immediately left the Zhou Clan's large courtyard.
Just as Jianchen left, in front of the Zhou Clan's large courtyard, many people who had heard the news immediately rushed over. They had all been attracted by the sounds of battle from before.
However, when they saw the scene within the Zhou Clan's courtyard, everyone's eyes suddenly became lifeless. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
The Zhou Clan, in such a short period of time, had been completely exterminated.
"Out of the way, out of the way, all of you out of the way …"
At this time, an extremely domineering voice came from behind the crowd. Following that, the crowd that had completely surrounded the Zhou Clan's main gate to the point that not even a drop of water could trickle through. A group of armored soldiers, like a sharp knife, directly cut through the crowd and entered from the outside.
"Yi, isn't that Wake City's Lord Mayor? I didn't think that at this time, he would also be alerted."
When the crowd's gaze landed on a middle-aged man walking in the middle of the group of soldiers, they immediately cried out in alarm. This middle-aged man was wearing a long black robe. He had a tall stature and a pair of fierce eyes that were as sharp as swords. Ordinary people would not even dare to look him in the eye. This middle-aged man had bronze skin, even the skin on his face was bronze. Coupled with his tall and sturdy stature, he looked quite formidable.
This person was Wake City's Lord — — Yun Li.
Wake City's Lord Yun Li, under the protection of a group of soldiers, walked into the Zhou Clan's large courtyard. The moment he stepped through the main gate, he saw that the ground was covered in blood and a large number of corpses.
Yun Li's footsteps came to an abrupt halt. His expression was incomparably solemn as he swept his gaze across the ground covered with corpses. Finally, his expression changed slightly as he fixed his gaze on Zhou Butong, who was lying on the ground.
"Ai!" Yun Li let out a heavy sigh as he closed his eyes in sorrow.
Standing beside him, Wake City's City Guard Commander Duo Li also let out a sigh. His gaze was filled with disbelief as he stared at the ground covered with corpses. Somewhat absent-mindedly, he muttered, "Lord Mayor, we were still a step too late."
After a short moment, Yun Li finally opened his eyes again. His gaze was filled with traces of light as he carefully examined each of the corpses. In the end, his heart was secretly alarmed. This was because he suddenly discovered that all of the wounds on these corpses were actually at the neck. Moreover, they were all fatal, including the Zhou Clan's Patriarch, Zhou Butong.
"Duo Li, is the person who came to seek revenge on the Zhou Clan really a youth who is not older than twenty years old?" Yun Li's gaze was fixed on the City Guard Commander Duo Li as he asked in a low voice.
"Yes, Lord Mayor. From his appearance, he is indeed only in his early twenties. He is extremely young." Commander Duo Li hurriedly replied.
Hearing this, Yun Li went silent. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Although the Zhou Clan has been exterminated, causing our Wake City's ability to resist the wave of Magical Beasts to weaken, since another young expert has come to our Wake City, we should try our best to rope him in and have him help us resist the wave of Magical Beasts."
"Lord Mayor is wise. This subordinate also thinks the same." Commander Duo Li opened his mouth with a solemn expression.
"Let's go. While he is still far away, let's immediately chase after him." After speaking, Yun Li took the lead and quickly walked outside. Commander Duo Li brought a group of guards and followed closely behind.
Soon after, Yun Li quickly chased after Jianchen's bloody footprints on the ground.
… ….
Jianchen slowly walked on the streets with his brows slightly furrowed. In his mind, he was thinking about how to find Uncle Kendall's family. Although Wake City wasn't big, it still had a population of several hundred thousand people. Wanting to find one or two people in this population of several hundred thousand people wasn't that easy. Furthermore, even now, Jianchen still wasn't sure if Uncle Kendall's family lived in Wake City. If they didn't live in Wake City, then finding them in this vast sea of people was undoubtedly as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
"Uncle Kendall, don't worry. No matter what, I will find your family and take good care of them. At the very least, I will let them live a carefree life." Jianchen secretly swore in his heart. However, before finding Uncle Kendall's family, he still had one more thing to do. That was to completely eliminate the Tianxiong clan.
Back then, Jianchen had been chased by the Tianxiong clan and had fled Wake City in a sorry state. It could be said that his impression of it was extremely deep. He would never forget it. Furthermore, he also understood that he had killed Tianxiong Lie's only child, Tianxiong Kang. The hatred between him and the Tianxiong clan had already reached a point where it couldn't be resolved.
