Chapter 1262 - Frenzy! (1/2)
At such a time, Gu Han was dead, and the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master had also suddenly gone crazy, insisting on remaining at the Pillar of Heavens Mountains…
Wouldn’t that mean that only I am left to fight Zhan Kuang?
With the three of us joining hands, we couldn’t even kill that perverse fellow. By myself, what can I do?
Proceeding further, the army could already see the nearest villages. But for some reason, they suddenly stopped. Then, someone from the front rushed down on a horse, seemingly extremely urgently. They’d either discovered something or met with something unexpected…
Jun Moxie and Mei Xueyan exchanged a glance, somewhat confused. After not having making contact with the outside world for a long time, discovering the dwelling place of other people was undoubtedly a happy thing. But it wasn’t anything to be surprised by. For the entire army to stop like this, there must be a big incident in front. But what could possibly halt an army comprised of over 100,000 Venerable level experts of Tian Fa warriors and the Evil Monarch Manor’s troops? It couldn’t be a robbery attempt by some bandits, right?
If there was really someone blocking the road to rob them… it would be too funny!
Perhaps the world had gone crazy these few days? Which blind person was so brave as to block the strongest army in the current world! Even the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master could not block this army with just his own strength. Perhaps if the Nine Nether First Young Master came back to the Xuan Xuan Continent, he would be able to do that!
In a short time, the rider had already arrived before them.
“Manor Lord, there’s a strange situation with the village in front. The entire village of over a hundred commoners, are confirmed to be all dead. Their deaths are all exactly in the same fashion; all of them had been turned into dry corpses!” The rider’s forehead was slick with sweat. Clearly, the incident at the front caused him to feel a great amount of fear!
Dried corpses?
Jun Moxie furrowed his brows. The first thought that came into his mind was none other than Zhan Kuang!
The Zhan Kuang who’d lost his physical body was far beneath Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master in strength. Compared to Gu Han, he was even lacking a bit. But that strange regenerative ability and the power to siphon life from living creatures was extremely horrifying. If it was really…
With that thought, Jun Moxie’s shoulders shook and he rose into the sky. Hearing that something was off, Mei Xueyan also followed closely behind him. Like a pair of shooting stars, they flew towards the little village. But with a single look, the both of them instantly exploded with rage!
There were only a mere 20, 30 small families in this village.
But right now, there wasn’t a single living aura in here anymore.
Bodies were splayed all over in their respective courtyards, or on the streets of the village…
Landing on the ground, Jun Moxie flipped one of the corpses over. As he did so, his pupils shrunk. This body was completely dried out, as though there wasn’t a single drop of liquid in it.
Based on what Jun Moxie had learnt before in his previous life on Earth, a human’s body consisted of over 70 percent water. But this corpse before him had shrunk to a mere one third of its original size, looking like a mummy! This was a completely dried out corpse!
When he checked the other corpses, it was the same situation!
Whether it was the elderly, the children, or the young! Everyone had died in the same way. Although their facial muscles had already dried out, their faces could be observed as being very peaceful. It was as if they hadn’t seen anything and had just fallen asleep!
“What cruelty! Even the little children were not spared!” Mei Xueyan looked at the corpse of a little girl in front of her and said with gritted teeth.
“From the decomposition rate of the body and the marks on the body, this should have happened about half a month ago, or longer. Due to the lack of moisture in the bodies, there are already signs of corrosion by the winds. But fortunately, because the water had been completely drained out, their bodies were able to be preserved until we came.” Jun Moxie stood straight and said with a heavy expression. “There’s no question about it; it must be him! Only Zhan Kuang is capable of such a thing! And only he is as crazy as this!”
These people’s blood and life essence had been completely sucked dry, and there didn’t seem to be any other wounds from the outside. Thinking back to how the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master had described Zhan Kuang feeding on wild beasts’ corpses before, Jun Moxie did not even need to consider before arriving at his conclusion!
“Zhan Kuang? Him? How could it… isn’t he…” Mei Xueyan widened her eyes, unable to believe this!
“It’s that same Zhan Lunhui whom we’ve pushed into the volcano before!” Jun Moxie sucked in a deep breath and sighed with a troubled look. “He was already difficult to deal with because of his indestructible body. Now, he’d even feasted on so much blood and flesh.. there’s no doubt that it’ll be even more difficult to deal with him…”
“We have to deal with him even if it’s difficult to deal with him. No matter what price must be paid, this kind of evil demon cannot be allowed to live in this world and harm people!” Mei Xueyan gritted her teeth hatefully. “We must destroy that fellow thoroughly and return peace to this land!”
“That is natural.” Jun Moxie smiled and waved his hands, instructing a few men to bury the bodies.
The grand army proceeded in a solemn mood; along the way, numerous reports continuously flowed in.
Along the way, they passed through more than 50 villages, but every single one of them was like a death camp! Whether it was man or beast, everybody had been turned into pieces of dried corpses! Counting so far, the number of corpses they’d collected had already reached over 7,000!
And this was just the number of humans. If the animals were counted in, it would be close to 20,000!
The fire in Jun Moxie’s eyes also grew more and more dangerous!
