Chapter 218: The City Lord

Zhou Butong looked at the bloody Light Wind Sword that had been stabbed through his throat with a look of utter disbelief. He didn’t possibly think that a twenty year old youth would be able to kill him so easily. Right now, Zhou Butong couldn’t believe how strong he was; he thought he was in a dream. The events that had occurred in this hour had developed far too fast for him to take in. Just earlier, he had been the leader of the high and mighty Zhou clan discussing the matters of a magical beast wave with the Wake City Defensive Guard Commander. But now, not even half an hour after that, his Zhou clan had been completely destroyed.

Zhou Butong heaved a heavy sigh in unwillingness before closing his eyes and allowing his elderly body to hit the ground slowly.

Jian Chen stared at Zhou Butong’s fall to the ground coldly without any emotion. Thanks to the memories of his previous incarnation, his determination had been rather resolute. Even if he were to massacre many people, he wouldn’t be affected too much.

Slowly, the Light Wind Sword was pulled out from Zhou Butong’s neck as Jian Chen turned to look for Zhou Yun. However, his face darkened as he looked at the bodies that littered the floors of the courtyard. Yet Zhou Yun was nowhere to be found.

At this, Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed, “So he ran away.”

As he spoke, Jian Chen looked at the dead bodies on the floor before finally looking at the Space Belt on Zhou Butong’s waist. With two steps forward, Jian Chen had grabbed at the Space Belt.

Zhou Butong was the leader of a clan after all, the items within his possession would surely be expensive.

“Eh?” Just outside the corner of Jian Chen’s eye, he noticed a single thread on Zhou Butong’s neck. Hidden by the blood and cloth of Zhou Butong, Jian Chen had then finally found the secret the corpse was hiding.

This hidden string was almost invisible to the naked eye. It had only been revealed after the blood dyed the string a shiny red allowing Jian Chen to discover it.

Jian Chen slowly parted the cloth away from Zhou Butong’s bloody neck to reveal a ring tied to a piece of string that led down to his stomach.

The moment Jian Chen found the Space Ring, his eyes began to sparkle as he cried out in surprise, “This is a Space Ring!” There was a large amount of happiness in his voice.

This Space Ring had been personally hidden and worn by Zhou Butong. With such a secret, there would definitely be a hidden treasure within this.

Pulling at the hidden Space Ring away from Zhou Butong’s neck, Jian Chen was exceptionally happy. Although he hadn’t yet looked at the items within, he stored it within his own Space Ring. He didn’t have time to look at it for now, so he immediately rushed out of the courtyards.

The moment Jian Chen had exited the courtyards he immediately heard the sound of voices of a few men who had heard the fight take place in the courtyards.

Everyone’s faces were full of shock as they looked at the Zhou Courtyard. Their unwavering gazes stared at the horrifying view, as if they couldn’t believe what had just happened.

The Zhou clan had been completely destroyed in an instant.

“Out of the way, out of the way! Everyone get out of the way…”

At this moment, an extremely loud sound cried out from behind the group. The dense group of people standing near the Zhou clan courtyards immediately saw a group of heavily armored men with weapons who were running straight through them.
