"Kill them all. Kill all the men. Kill the older women too."
"I've already killed 15. Which one of you has killed more than me?"
"I've killed 14. I'm about to surpass you."
"Kill, kill, kill, kill."
"This girl is so pretty. I'm going to take her back."
Shouts, hideous laughter, screams, begging for mercy, and cries of death all mixed together. The thick smell of blood permeated the air, filling the area within a radius of tens of thousands of meters and gradually drifting away.
Gradually, the shouts and screams quieted down and were replaced by malicious threats.
"Let's go."
"Take this batch of goods and go back immediately."
"With this batch of goods, we can turn them in. I wonder what kind of reward we'll get when the time comes."
"Don't think too much. No matter how good the reward is, it'll be the Fort Masters who get it first. When it's distributed to us, it probably won't be much."
A group of young and middle-aged men exuding murderous auras were talking while driving away more than twenty women between the ages of ten and thirty. Regardless of age, they were all good-looking. However, they had been reduced to prisoners and had witnessed the other villagers being wantonly slaughtered like pigs and dogs. They had long been scared out of their wits. Their faces were pale, their lips were bloodless, and their eyes were filled with fear. They were like cattle and sheep that had lost their souls as they were driven forward.
…
"What a strong smell of blood," Chen Zong's nose twitched slightly, and he frowned slightly as he looked in the direction of the smell of blood.
His eyes flashed. He could vaguely see that the air ten thousand meters ahead seemed to be filled with a layer of faint red mist. Without a doubt, that was the source of the smell of blood.
Not long ago, a fierce battle must have taken place there.
Chen Zong did not stop walking. He quickly walked forward. Then, his expression changed drastically. His eyes shone with horror, and a murderous intent uncontrollably emerged from his heart.
It was not a battle!
If it was a battle, it would be normal for both sides to kill each other and die. It would have nothing to do with him.
But the scene in front of him was obviously a massacre, a one-sided massacre.
Disemboweled, dirty water flowing all over the ground. Beheaded, eyes wide open, and filled with fear. A white-haired old man was split in half. His eyes were filled with despair. A strong middle-aged man was cut in half. His eyes were wide open and filled with unwillingness. A three-year-old child's body was smashed into pieces. His innocent eyes were filled with confusion. He did not know that his young life had died here before he could experience the wonders of the world..
Scene after scene jumped into Chen Zong's eyes..............................................
The Red Jade Sword seemed to be able to sense Chen Zong's current state of mind. It couldn't help but tremble, emitting a faint sword hum. Traces of terrifying killing intent circled around its body, causing the temperature to plummet.
"What a ruthless thief. He won't even spare the old, the weak, the women, and the children."
A shout suddenly sounded like a clap of thunder. At the same time, a cold sword light broke through the air like a shooting star.
It was fast, sharp, and light. It was full of killing intent. It would not stop until Chen Zong was dead.
The sword light was swallowing. Before the sword arrived, it had already pierced through the air. The sharp chill attacked.
Chen Zong's reaction was very fast. The moment the sword came, he had already seen it. The Red Jade Sword was unsheathed. It turned into a red light and pierced through the sky.
The sword shattered the star-like sword light, but Chen Zong did not take the opportunity to counterattack. Instead, he shouted, "Hold on."
"Thief deserves to die." That person paid no attention to Chen Zong and attacked with his sword in hand once more. The sword split into two, two into four, four into eight, and finally transformed into 64 sword lights. Numerous sword lights tore through the sky like meteors, and it seemed as if a meteor shower was descending from the sky, and all of them shot towards Chen Zong.
Sixty-four sword lights, bright and stunning, contained a terrible killing intent.
The man obviously thought Chen Zong was the murderer who killed the old, the weak, the women, and the children. Therefore, he attacked without mercy. Every sword was full of killing intent. He would not stop until he killed Chen Zong. Chen Zong understood this, but he would not stand still and let Chen Zong kill him.
With a slight twist and shake of his wrist, the Red Jade Sword followed an incomparably mysterious trajectory, shuttling back and forth between the gaps of the sixty-four Flying Flame Meteor Sword Lights. It was as nimble as a fish swimming in the water, or as agile as a dragon swimming in the wind and clouds of the Ninth Heaven.
Since he could not communicate with him, he would defeat him with strength first.
Sixty-four streaks of sword light struck the ground and exploded, forming a large area. However, Chen Zong was nowhere to be seen.
As the sword flashed, the long sword in the man's hand trembled. A terrible force shook the man's fingers, and the sword in his hand fell.
At least seventy percent of a sword warrior's strength was on the sword. Without the sword, his strength would be reduced significantly.
"These people were not killed by me." Chen Zong stared at the man and said word by word.
This person was a woman dressed in white. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, and she didn't look very old. She had a baby face, and her eyes were big and watery.
Her sword was shot down. Her big eyes showed a trace of fear. When she heard Chen Zong's words, she quickly reacted. She picked up the sword and held it tightly. She stared at Chen Zong with full vigilance. She looked around with the corner of her eyes, and then her expression eased little by little.
"I just arrived and saw such a terrible scene. Do you know who did it?" Chen Zong asked again.
"I'm not sure. I'm starting to investigate." The baby-faced woman spoke. Her voice was childish and clear.
Nodding, Chen Zong did not speak again. Instead, he scanned the surroundings. His eyes flashed, and a sword mark appeared in his pupils.
Scar Sword Pupil!
Before he completely perfected the Mind Sword Doctrine, the Heavenly Sword Way and the Dark Feather Way of the Heavenly Sword Way were useful to him.
The Scar Sword Pupil could not only see through some illusions, but could also see even more subtle clues.
Putting away his Sword Pupil, Chen Zong followed the traces and chased after them.
The killing intent had been born. If he did not kill, his heart would not be at ease.
Mind Sword Doctrine!
Mind, mind … it had to follow the heart. It was not to punish evil and promote good. It was not to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens. It was only to be at ease, for his own … Dao.
If he wanted to kill, he had to kill.
"What are you doing?" The baby-faced woman hurriedly asked. However, Chen Zong ignored her. They did not know each other, and Chen Zong did not intend to.
"Did you discover something?" The baby-faced woman did not get angry. Instead, she used her movement technique to chase after him. She asked as she chased.
Chen Zong still did not reply. He used the Xuanxin Shapeshifting Technique. His body fluttered in the wind, and his feet did not touch the ground. He shot forward like lightning, and gradually, he left the baby-faced woman behind.
"Wait for me." The baby-faced woman was more and more certain that Chen Zong had discovered something. She chased after him relentlessly. However, she was not as fast as Chen Zong. She could only watch as Chen Zong disappeared into the distance. She stomped her foot angrily.
"No, I have to chase after him." The baby-faced woman muttered to herself. She used her movement technique again and chased after Chen Zong.
After half a year, Chen Zong had not only made a breakthrough in his cultivation, but also accumulated more experience in the Mind Sword Principle. His Xuanxin Shapeshifting Technique was also constantly perfected. Now, he could use it much faster than before. It looked more mysterious. All the changes were based on his will.
Gradually, Chen Zong heard the sound of conversation. It was intermittent. It was carried by the wind. It seemed that many people were talking.
As he got closer, the conversation became clearer. Chen Zong's expression became colder and colder.
When Chen Zong saw the people talking, a strong murderous intent poured out from his eyes like a cold current.
There were a total of more than a dozen people, all of them young and middle-aged. Each of them wore black and red robes and carried long swords on their backs. A terrifying murderous aura radiated from their bodies. They were sitting on the ground, resting and gnawing on dried meat. Next to them, there were more than twenty beautiful women who had their hands tied together. Even if they wanted to escape, they would be slowed down by the sheer number of people around them.
However, these twenty or so women were all huddled together and shivering. They were just ordinary people. Even if they had cultivated, at most they would only be at the Force Refining Realm. How could they be a match for this group of True Martial Realm and even pseudo Transcendent Realm cultivators?
Suddenly, an extremely cold aura spread out, causing the bodies of the dozen people who were chatting and eating jerky to tremble. One by one, they turned their heads to look, only to see a figure rapidly approaching. An icy aura was continuously being emitted from that figure's body.
"Who are you?" The leading pseudo Transcendent Realm middle-aged man quickly got up and stared at Chen Zong with a dignified expression.
"The one who killed you." Chen Zong was certain that the previous massacre was the work of these people. Seeing them, the murderous intent in his heart became even stronger.
A strong uneasiness came from the depths of his heart, causing the Nine Star middle-aged man's face to be filled with shock. His heart unconsciously began to beat wildly.
"We are from Black Mountain Stronghold. Is there some kind of misunderstanding?" The middle-aged man reported their origins.
[Black Mountain Stronghold!]
Chen Zong had never heard of it before, nor did he know what kind of force it was. However, it seemed that they weren't anything good, just like bandits.
That didn't matter, as long as he killed them.
Chen Zong could see that these people's cultivations weren't high. None of them had reached the Extreme Mortal Realm. To deal with such people, he naturally didn't need to draw his sword.
Using his finger as a sword, Chen Zong thrust out. In the eyes of the dozen or so people, they saw an extremely sharp sword piercing through the air towards them. It didn't seem to be fast, and they could clearly see the trajectory of the sword. Even the outline of the tip of the sword could be seen clearly. The sharpness of the sword was constantly magnified in their eyes.
Although they could see it clearly, they were shocked to find that their bodies couldn't move, as if they were imprisoned by an invisible force. They could only watch as the tip of the sword pierced through the air and stabbed towards them.
In fact, it wasn't that their bodies were imprisoned, but that they simply couldn't react in time. The seemingly slow sword was actually as fast as a flash of light.
Even if Chen Zong hadn't drawn his sword and had only used his finger as a sword to casually attack, using less than ten percent of his strength, it was still not something a group of Transcendent Realm cultivators could contend with.
One had to know that with Chen Zong's current strength, even ten percent of his strength was enough to kill an ordinary First Layer Mortal Realm cultivator.
