236 A Slaughter (1/2)
Xue Wei glanced down at every member of the Genius Camp. He scanned them with disinterest. Executing everyone here would be as simple as killing chickens, but he was not interested in doing so.
Although he was here to avenge Tie Haolong, he had no intention of venting his rage on civilians or people who had no part in the events of that day.
After seeing their commander die such a swift death, the experts that had planned to rush into the air to assist him sobered up and understood that they were not his match.
Xue Wei used his spiritual energy to scan the area. A few people seemed familiar; some of them had been the loudest voices when he was condemned.
Inner Might: Qi Arrow Style!
Arrows made from Qi appeared on his hands and with a simple gesture. They shot at the experts that were hiding. They were the ones who did not expect Xue Wei to snuff them out so cleanly, and thus they never managed to even let out a scream before the arrows struck them.
The moment the arrows reached their mark, they turned into giant dragons of qi that roared loudly, releasing their energy and killing the experts on the spot. Their bodies exploded into a bloody mist. They could not handle the overwhelming power imbued into the Qi dragons.
After finishing off the people who had taken part in causing Xue Wei's downfall, Xue Wei glanced at the rest a second time before he snorted and left, leaving them heaving heavy sighs of relief. It seemed as if they had escaped a great calamity.
Xue Wei returned to the capital after a short flight. When he arrived, he saw his friends who were in the air at the exact same spot as they had been when he left. However, he could smell the pungent smell of blood this time.
Looking down, he saw that there were quite a few people who had died in their attempts to escape.
”Thank you,” Xue Wei knew that these people would never bully the weak like this if not for him, and he felt grateful. Amongst the dead, he had recognized quite a few faces.
”I have no intention of executing you all,” Xue Wei announced to the city with a voice enhanced by Qi, making the still and silent place suddenly perk up with hope.
”When I was last here, everyone was willing to attack me. Everyone was willing to kill an innocent soul just to get me, and thus I want all involved in the hunt of me and my friend to die.”
”Everyone, make a heavenly oath! Make a heavenly oath that states that you took no part in the chase of me and my brother Tie Haolong. Those who survive this oath will be allowed to live.”
”Now take the oath, or I will bathe the city in blood. I will not let even the animals escape this fate!”
One after another, they began swearing the oath. It was mainly the citizens who swore. The higher-ups were not willing to do it. They knew they could not contend with a heavenly oath, and thus they would most likely die.
”I will take you on!” someone screamed out loud as he flew into the air. ”I do not believe that you can take care of all of us!” another yelled, and suddenly everyone with a guilty conscience flew into the air ready to face Xue Wei and his friends.
Around a hundred to two hundred experts flew up into the air. They glared at Xue Wei and his companions.
”You cannot kill us all!” someone sneered. Xue Wei chuckled. He lifted his hand and a stream of Qi spiraled around his arm like a big azure dragon.
Xue Wei looked at the masses, contemplating how to deal with them all. He would have a hard time killing them off if they scattered about in every direction, but they, fortunately for him, did not seem to be planning to do so.
They were a lot of experts against only four. Even if their cultivation bases were lower than Xue Wei and his friends, the sheer amount of experts on their side gave them courage.
Xue Wei was relieved. He did not believe that they could actually pose any threat to him, but he did know that he would be helpless if they decided to flee. Since they had no intention of fleeing, then he had a chance to execute them all.
”Gou, take care of anyone who flees,” Xue Wei ordered, and Hei Gou nodded his head, taking the task very solemnly.
”Xiao, I doubt you are willing to participate in the slaughter of common folk. Although they have bad blood with me, they have done nothing wrong to you. Having you kill them might just give you a heart demon.”
”Tianyi, you support Gou in hunting the ones that flee. I doubt you can even get a heart demon, so don't hold back!”
Bai Tianyi smiled wryly. It was true that he could not get a heart demon, but he had never thought that Xue Wei could have guessed this.
The truth was that the only ones who had experienced the torment of that dreadful chase was Xue Wei and Hei Gou. If they did not vent the frustrations in their hearts when given the chance, it was possible that they would end up with a heart demon.
But these were all Heavenly Warriors. Killing them should be simple. Someone like Bai Tianyi who had been at the apex of the world regarded Heavenly Warriors as ants.
