The silver pitcher suddenly bursts, splashing water wildly.
The cold gleam shone like a shooting star, instantly shattering an old fellow, blood sprayed across the sky, presenting such a spectacle.
Then, in the crowd below, amid the frightened, wide-eyed gazes, the Big Spear continued its unstoppable descent, its brilliant cold gleam growing larger in their eyes, crashing obliquely to the ground.
"Boom"
A thunderous roar that shook heaven and earth.
Following closely, as the Big Spear plowed the ground, rocks and soil exploded, along its path "bang bang bang", each person could only watch with horrified eyes as the people in front fell and exploded into a mist of blood, then it was their turn.
It was as if, that Qingtian Big Spear, using the ground as paper and blood as ink, drew a line of blood on the ground!
Finally, after plowing through hundreds of meters, the Big Spear stopped.
A giant spear, tens of meters high, shimmering with fierce brutality, as if a meteor fiercely struck into everyone’s pupils.
Then, a figure, flickering down, stood atop the spear shaft, his clothes fluttering in the wind.
The setting sun, red as blood, illuminating his side profile, just as when he first arrived at the Heavenly Pass Heroic City!
"Hell King Chen"
"He... didn’t leave!"
Someone issued a trembling cry, looking at that figure, their legs turned weak, pounding their chests and stamping their feet in alarm, "We’ve been tricked!"
At that moment, Chen Yuan’s gaze sharply turned, landing on the only remaining old man, dried up like a corpse.
The gaunt old man suddenly felt as if targeted by a fierce beast, his gaze altered, hairs standing on end.
Without a second word, he turned and fled, his heart filled with alarm.
When Chen Yuan was causing a rampage in Tianxiong Pass, these two old fellows were in seclusion, hearing how families denounced the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel for his tyranny and unrest among various forces, they somewhat dismissed it.
If it weren’t for their elder generation pursuing seclusion and not meddling in worldly matters, how could the younger ones dare to be so bold?
But just now, his companion didn’t even withstand a single move.
Shocked, he regretted intervening.
But in this world, there is no such thing as a regret medicine. Just as the gaunt old man had fled a hundred meters, a sound of tearing through the air came from behind.
So fast!
The old man jumped in fright, turned around and saw a golden light, swift as a storm wind.
The old man’s sunken, murky eyes changed, pinching a Sword finger, driving his Green Sword to fly forth.
"Slash!"
The Green Big Sword shot out, emitting a piercing screech, its edge lighting up with a bright arc.
The next second,
With a "clang" of metal on metal.
The Green Big Sword was seen striking a pair of wings covered in golden scales.
The Big Sword shattered a few Golden Scales, turning into a shower of light, then could advance no further.
Within a breath, those closed golden wings suddenly spread, with a ting sound deflecting the Green Big Sword, revealing the chilling gaze of Chen Yuan behind them.
"Hiss"
The air abruptly drew a trail of an afterimage.
The gaunt old man’s face filled with terror, hastily stretching out his withered palm, fiercely grappling at the void in front of him.
"Ting"
The next instant, that golden, fierce figure appeared before him, his talon-like hands landing on the figure’s body, only scraping out a spark.
Then, a choking sound came from his throat, his sunken eyes bulging, and he lowered his head.
Only to see a pair of hands covered in fine golden scales, directly piercing through his chest.
Then with a violent tug outward.
"Ah"
A scream pierced the sky.
The second old fellow also met his demise.
Chen Yuan, after killing the two, took the Green Big Sword into his sleeve, then fiercely plummeted to the ground.
At this moment, after his Demon Transformation, his body had grown nearly thirty meters tall.
With Golden Wings on his back, clad in Golden Scale Armor, resembling a fierce demon god.
As his gaze swept across, that dreadful divine aura intimidated those of weaker wills.
Some tried to escape; under the slanting rays of the setting sun, a few figures were running, then suddenly split in two, collapsing to the ground, the scene eerie and terrifying.
Then came a sound of "ting ting clang clang".
Where his gaze reached, each henchman, their weapons falling from their hands, their bodies weakened, collapsed to the ground.
"Lord, spare our lives!"
"We dare not anymore!"
"....."
Then, the gates of the Inner City burst open, the troops previously cowering inside charged out.
"Ha ha"
Wei Zhong laughed as he strode forth.
At this time, Chen Yuan’s gaze radiated in all directions, casting reflections around, instantly, the hidden gazes peering from the shadows, fearing misinterpretation by Hell King Chen, recoiled as if avoiding a venomous snake.
On a rooftop in the northwest, a figure seeing that rapid sweep of golden light, shivered, having experienced the power of Divine Skills, quickly vanished, reemerging from the ground several miles away.
Then he started cursing frantically.
"I knew it, this fellow is truly cunning."
"I reckon the equipment for that camp was swiped by this guy."
"Forget it, it’s not suitable to stay here for long, they’re conducting a major purge, surely because their Demon Suppression Envoy died and they went insane. Right now, it’s better not to provoke them and think of another way."
After saying that, the person vanished from the spot.
Meanwhile, from afar, Chen Yuan scanned the area with his Dharma Eye and found no abnormalities. He then dismissed his Divine Skills, shrunk to the size of a common man, and met up with Wei Zhong.
The buzz of activity slowly faded as the night deepened.
In the deep of night, candlelight flickered.
In the Colonel Palace, Chen Yuan sat on the main seat, his brow and eyes slightly lowered.
At this moment, the palace was bustling. Black treasure boxes sealed with talismans were carried into the hall by Wei Zhong’s troops, numbering up to a hundred boxes.
"Lord Chen, do have a look!"
Wei Zhong, smiling, stroked his beard and waved his sleeve, the seals on the boxes blown away and the lids opened.
Inside, the boxes revealed a misty aura and a radiant treasure energy.
Spirit Grass, medicine bottles, armor glinting cold light... and so forth.
"Lord, the various goods you required; I’ve collected some, a large part of which was confiscated from various households."
Saying this, he passed over a sheet of paper.
"This is the inventory list."
Chen Yuan waved his hand, indicating it was not necessary, walked forward, randomly picked up a bottle of Elixir from one of the boxes, opened it and took a sniff, the refreshing fragrance pleased him, and he nodded.
"Let’s not talk about the confiscated items for now, Colonel Wei, how much Silver Tael did the rest cost?"
Wei Zhong burst into laughter,
"Lord Chen, please don’t mention it again, it’s embarrassing for me really, after all, I benefitted the most, anyway..."
He whispered,
"This is rightly yours, Lord Chen."
Chen Yuan’s eyes shifted, seemingly grasping the Colonel’s intention, and chuckled, "The ancients say, plucking one hair benefits the world; these fellows indeed do me, Chen, a good deed. In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are unavoidable!"
Saying so, he waved his sleeves and sucked the treasure boxes into them.
Wei Zhong had seen Chen Yuan use this Divine Skill from afar before, but now, seeing it up close, he felt a chill in his heart, his gaze flickering rapidly.
A Divine Skill akin to Sleeve Universe’s, combined with personally witnessing Chen Yuan’s Taoist Soldier speculated to have broken through the Extreme Tao Domain, plus many formidable Divine Powers; when this person matures in the future, he would be formidable!
Not to mention their days together recently, his thunderous methods!
This Colonel Chen definitely needs to be befriended!
Therefore, he actually packed most of the good items confiscated from various households into these boxes, even shifting some supplies from the arsenal into them.
Seeing Chen Yuan taking all these boxes, indicating acceptance of the favor, made Colonel Wei genuinely happy.
And seeing that he had achieved his purpose, Chen Yuan decided it was also time to leave.
So, he bowed to Wei Zhong,
"Colonel Wei, I, Chen, should also be leaving soon!"
"I won’t disturb you further, take care!"
"Alright!" Knowing the current situation was special, Wei Zhong didn’t hold him back any further, nodded, then suddenly remembered something, "Wait, Lord Chen."
Then, he took a couple of steps forward, lowered his gaze, and whispered, "Earlier when we were drinking, you mentioned you had just assumed your post, and The Overseers had yet to issue your seal; Wei has something to remind Lord, now that The Overseers suddenly encountered a mishap and Demon Suppression Envoy perished, leaving only three Deputy Commanders, wherever there are people, there is Worldly society. Knowing that Lord Chen is extraordinary, I just wanted to give a heads up."
Wei Zhong, with the idea of befriending Chen Yuan, wisely reminded him of the current situation.
Chen Yuan slightly raised his eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and nodded.
"Thanks!"
Saying so, he took his leave and turned around.
"Farewell, Colonel Chen, when mountains and rivers reunite someday, Wei will invite you for a drink again!" Wei called out cheerily from behind.
Chen Yuan exited the palace, and the Sky Patrol Department troops and horses he passed stopped and bowed their heads.
He continued walking, and soon, Chen Yuan disappeared from the spot.
Before long, at the Heavenly Fragrance Building.
In a room filled with the scent of warm tranquil air, soft, warm light flickered.
Within the flickering light, a shadow moved back and forth in the room.
Clearly visible, a voluptuous woman with black waterfall-like hair and softly curling waves, dressed in a shimmering scaled gown, walked back and forth in the room, occasionally checking if the room’s Prohibition was intact.
Looking at the deepening night outside, she thought the person probably wouldn’t come tonight.
With that, she felt somewhat tired and walked to the bed covered with comfortable fur, gracefully sat down, resting her head on her hand, and closed her eyes, attempting a brief rest.
But inside, she felt uneasy, fearing that with the methods the person used today, he wouldn’t let her off so easily.
Unable to relax, her beautiful brows furrowed, she opened her eyes after a while.
But the moment she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of eyes staring at her with interest.
She was startled, her watery glossy lips moved, but they were quickly covered by the other person’s hand.
The person said with a half-smile,
"Sorry, I, Chen, didn’t wish to disturb the lady’s rest, but considering I’m leaving this place, I thought it over. I fear being remembered by people, so those who provoke me, or whom I’ve provoked, either must serve me or..."
And An Ge looked into this man’s eyes.
Her lake-blue eyes filled with annoyance.
She knew.
........
At dawn, the far horizon turned blue, and the Great Sun was about to rise from the eastern mountains,
A streak of light shot up from the Heavenly Fragrance Building towards Shu in the Southern direction.
Thus, leaving from Tianxiong Pass!
