Chapter 256: Monstrous killing aura (2/2)
He is clearly a death god sent to reap our souls...
The black faced general felt that Fang Zhengzhi was just like the devil. Fang Zhengzhi’s attacks were too powerful, almost ridiculously powerful.
”Run!” Without any hesitation, the black faced general ran towards the exit of the village. A sea of flames enveloped him. In this crucial moment, he no longer held back.
All he had to do was survive till his army came. There was no way Fang Zhengzhi could defeat an army.
The purple glow still managed to catch up with him.
It split the sea of fire in two and the radiant purple light sliced through the general’s body.
”Ah!” The general screamed in pain as one of his limbs was sent flying. Blood spewed from the open wound as the color drained from his face.
All of the villagers were stunned.
”How powerful!”
”Oh my god... he’s too good!”
”I had no idea Zhengzhi was so powerful! He is much more powerful than the general! He beat them both using a couple of attacks!”
All of the villagers got excited as they unconsciously tightened the grips on their weapons. They had a sliver of hope to cling onto now.
Even though it was just a sliver of hope, it made a huge difference to their morale and attitude.
Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian looked at each other. They were comforted and impressed by their son’s abilities.
Zhang Pingyang was also overjoyed. Fang Zhengzhi’s power had instilled hope in his heart.
”They may just survive after all!”
Wang Anhua’s jaw dropped so much that one could possibly stuff two ducks into it at this point. He knew that this was a battle between two Heavenly Reflection State cultivators. He also knew that Fang Zhengzhi had just broken through a few months ago.
How did he become so powerful in such a short time?
He had taken on the two men so effortlessly, defeating one of them within the first round and chopping of the limb of the general in the next!
This was no duel, this was suppression!
Wang Anhua could not believe his eyes.
In fact, Fang Zhengzhi himself could not believe it. He gripped the Traceless Sword tightly. He could still feel waves of power rushing into his body.
He could even feel the Traceless Sword’s excitement. It was excited to draw blood, excited to kill.
He had no idea what was happening.
However, when he thought of what these men had done to his family and the helplessness he saw in his parents’ eyes, the hate inside his heart became unsuppressable. It exploded outwards in an instant.
”Kill!”
”Kill!”
”Kill!”
The voices rang inside his ears. The world around him turned from faint purple to deep purple. There were also flickerings of red.
Everyone who bullied a Northern Mountain villager must die!
Dad, mom, I will take revenge for you! I will kill them all, every last one of them!
”Ah!” Fang Zhengzhi screamed in rage, his voice echoing throughout the village and beyond.
”Die, you must all die! None of you will be spared!” Fang Zhengzhi repeated to himself, the purple glow from his sword radiating outwards.
The circling purple gas doubled, almost like two intertwined dragons, circling and dancing at the tip of the blade....
”General!”
A fearful shout rang out. There were traces of disbelief mashed into the fear.
Then, the approach of the thousand strong army could be heard. Plumes of dust were kicked up as they charged, spears lowered.
This was the general’s elite squad.
Even though they were no match for the Red Pinion Squad, they were still the elites of the army. About 20% of them were cultivators, and they knew how to fight as a unit.
There were more than 20,000 troops stationed in various camps around Cang Ling Mountain. In order to ensure the quickest response times, the general had handpicked this squad to be by his side.
This ensured that he could respond to every eventuality.
And now...
This elite squad was about to taste their first battle in a month. However, they were going up against poorly equipped villagers.
Of course, there was a youth taking point on the opposing side.
The strange purple glow continued to shine from the youth’s sword as his killing aura spread outwards. His eyes glowed a strange shade of purple.
”Fang Zhengzhi is intent on rebelling and the villagers have rioted! Kill them all!” The general looked at Fang Zhengzhi in aghast.
This was the first time he had felt such fear after decades on the battlefield. He felt a chill down his spine, but, he could not stop now.
If Fang Zhengzhi did not die, he would die.
”General, we came to capture Fang Zhengzhi, these villagers...” One of the deputies said in aghast when he heard the order.
He was not shocked by Fang Zhengzhi. He was taken aback by the general’s orders.
”Kill them! Anyone who disobeys will be executed!” The general flashed his black military token. It represented his authority.
”All of you listen up. Get in formation and charge!” The deputy grit his teeth when he saw the token. He hollered the command to his men.
”Yes sir!” The army responded in unison.
They got into formation within moments.
They set up a phalanx, with five riders on point. Cavalry guarded the flanks whilst spearmen held the center.
”Kill!”
”Kill!”
Their voices echoed throughout the mountain.
All of the villagers subconsciously retreated when they saw this. Fear consumed them all.
These were truly the elites of the army. They could feel the killing aura keenly.
”Anyone who dares invade the Northern Mountain Village shall die!” An icy voice that sounded like it came right out of hell rang out. Then, a figure charged the phalanx.
All of the soldiers were stunned by what they saw.
They never expected Fang Zhengzhi to strike first in the face of an army!
