Chapter 1057 - Massacre Expedition and Collecting (2/2)
Xiao Shen’s brows furrowed once again as he looked at these corpses. A young man who was following next to him could not help but retch.
The young man vomited while cursing, “What the hell, even if they wish to kill, did they have to make it so disgusting?”
Xiao Shen’s gaze swept by the many corpses. Suddenly, he beckoned with his hand, and the remnants of a bullet landed in his hand.
‘It’s this thing again.’
He said, “They didn’t intentionally make it such that there are shattered pieces of flesh everywhere. It’s just that their weapon produces such an effect in the first place.”
“Weapon?” The young man did not understand.
“In the past one month, a total of 21 similar events have occurred in multiple regions in Middle-earth. A group of people wearing black armor were assaulting the various military forces,” Xiao Shen said, waving the bullet in his hand. “This is the unique hidden weapon that they used.”
“There aren’t many of them, only about ten to twenty people. Each time around, they would initiate an attack against an army of several hundred or even 1,000 men and kill a tremendous number of Xiantian Realm cultivators before leaving.”
“Who has such great guts? Is the person thinking of waging a war against the entire world?”
Xiao Shen shook his head. “Only three regions—the Serene Region, the Jing Region, and the Beiyuan Region—had not encountered similar attacks. The number of deaths in the remaining regions has already exceeded 10,000 people in total.”
“It’s the imperial court? For ten or more people to kill over 10,000 people… They must be an elite team consisting of Disha Realm experts?” Hearing this, a gleam flashed past in the young man’s eyes, “Hmph, is that Fang Xuan really out to try everything because he’s in a desperate situation? Recklessly going to war and killing people will only turn everyone into his enemies.”
Xiao Shen nodded. Although logically, this was how things would turn out, his intuition—as well as a voice from the world—seemed to keep on warning and telling him that things were not that simple.
However, when he turned to look at the young man next to him, a hint of joy still broke out on his face.
This person was a heaven-blessed cultivator that the Three Mountains Four Peaks had discovered in the Min Region. Therefore, Xiao Shen had come rushing over and found him.
After a round of testing, he ascertained that this person was a heaven-blessed cultivator.
In such a critical period, every heaven-blessed cultivator would be a tremendous power. It was because they represented a future Great Dao Realm cultivator and would increase their chances of victory in dealing with Fang Xuan.
Based on the latest news, there were also many traces of new heaven-blessed cultivators being discovered in other places. This made Xiao Shen feel even more confident toward the future outcome.
‘Are the heavens trying to help us out as well?’ While thinking about this, he turned to the young man behind him and said, “Loree, I know that you have a grudge with the Great Jin Dynasty’s royal family. However, don’t underestimate Fang Xuan over this feud. This person’s strength and shrewdness are deep and unfathomable.
“Ever since he ascended the throne, he put in great efforts into running the country, defeating Prince Xin, and subduing the Demon Sect. He took down three regions in one go and leaped up to become the world’s top influence. The Demon Sovereign from 300 years ago is probably the only one who can match with his martial arts and intellect.”
Hearing this, although a hint of resentment appeared on young Loree’s face, he did not raise any objections. It was true that the recent achievements of the young Emperor in the north had been extraordinary. Although Loree was not willing to admit this, he could not deny it either.
“There’s no need for you to feel dejected. Although this person’s martial arts and intellect are great, he has exhausted his resources in building up military forces and he is a headstrong and self-opinionated person. It’s just wishful thinking for him to want to go against everyone in the world on the righteous path with the power of a single clan.
“Moreover, with the appearance of heaven-blessed cultivators like yourself, it seems that even the heavens want to annihilate him.” Xiao Shen smiled. “Let’s go. You still have a few more companions waiting for us.”
