Chapter 203: Beheaded
🕑 Added 2024-10-10 06:46:10 +0000 UTCWolf Brother and the others... were all killed!?
As this thought crossed his mind, Zhou Huachao's body trembled slightly.
In the next moment, he charged out!
"You said Wolf Brother and the others were beheaded?"
In an instant, Zhou Huachao appeared before one of the warriors, holding the Sword of Annihilation at the man's neck.
The warrior was startled, feeling a sharp pain on his neck.
The sword hadn't even touched his skin yet, but the sword energy emanating from the blade made his neck feel as if it were being pierced by a thousand needles.
The pain was so intense that it felt as though a slight movement of the sword would be enough to sever his head completely!
"Who is it!?"
At that moment, the others rushed over, weapons drawn, pointing at Zhou Huachao.
"I'll ask you again. Were the coffin bearers all beheaded?"
Zhou Huachao's eyes swept over them, his voice calm but commanding.
"Zhou Huachao!"
"That's Zhou Huachao!"
Some of the warriors immediately recognized him and shouted loudly.
"Well, well, so he really was hiding here!"
Their eyes locked on Zhou Huachao, and they sneered coldly.
Little did they know that meeting Zhou Huachao was the last thing they would ever do.
"I'll ask one last time. What happened to them?"
Zhou Huachao ignored their taunts, his gaze fixed on the man in front of him, his voice eerily calm.
"They were beheaded a long time ago!"
The warrior, trembling with fear, gritted his teeth and shouted.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhou Huachao's pupils contracted slightly.
Whoosh—
In a flash, his sword swung down, severing the man's head.
[Killed an eighth-tier warrior, gained 8,000 evolution points]
[Absorbed eighth-tier warrior’s essence blood, gained 8 energy points]
[Absorbed eighth-tier warrior’s essence blood, gained 8 energy points]
...
As soon as the warrior was killed, his essence blood floated up and was absorbed into the Sword of Annihilation.
At this point, the essence blood of ordinary warriors only slightly increased the sharpness of the blade, and even that was becoming negligible.
However, the accumulation of these energies would one day lead to a qualitative change.
The remaining warriors, witnessing Zhou Huachao effortlessly kill their comrade, were filled with shock.
"You dare kill someone from the City Lord’s Mansion!"
"Kill him!"
In that instant, the warriors charged at Zhou Huachao, weapons in hand.
Zhou Huachao watched as they attacked, and with a cold snort, he moved.
In an instant, his sword pierced through the air!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The sword light flashed, and before any of them could even touch his clothes, they all collapsed into pools of blood.
In the blink of an eye, only a few warriors remained standing.
They stared at the scene before them, their eyes filled with disbelief, as if frozen in place.
"Who killed them?"
Zhou Huachao glanced at the remaining warriors, his voice icy.
Though his face showed no expression, his eyes were burning with fury.
They had really killed Wolf Brother and the others!
His heart was filled with both rage and regret.
It was because of him that they had died.
"It was... the City Lord. He said it was the only way to force you out..."
One of the warriors trembled and blurted out, unable to hold back.
"Zhao Huangwu."
Zhou Huachao gritted his teeth, his hands tightening around the sword.
Seeing Zhou Huachao consumed by anger, the remaining warriors exchanged glances before simultaneously raising their weapons to attack!
"Get lost!"
Zhou Huachao roared, and in an instant, his sword slashed through the air.
Whoosh—
Their weapons were cut in half instantly!
The sharp blade swiftly sliced through their necks.
In just a moment, they were all dead.
"It’s time to go back."
With the Sword of Annihilation in hand, Zhou Huachao left the forest and headed back toward Huangbei City.
...
"Could that guy really be dead?"
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Lei Lingfei stared at Zhao Huangwu.
"We're not sure yet."
"I’ve already sent my men to search deep into the forest."
"Dead or alive, we need to find him."
Zhao Huangwu’s voice was cold.
"But killing those coffin bearers… the lord might not be happy about that."
Lei Lingfei squinted as he recalled something.
"When he arrives, I’ll explain everything."
Zhao Huangwu replied calmly.
"He’s coming!?"
Lei Lingfei was taken aback by Zhao Huangwu’s words.
That Martial King was one of the most powerful among the Martial Kings, and he controlled the fate of the coffin bearers.
"Yes, he’ll be here today."
Zhao Huangwu nodded.
"Does he know about the sword?"
Lei Lingfei hesitated for a moment but then asked.
He was certain that the sword was a demonic weapon, and if he could get it, his power would skyrocket.
He might even be able to break through to the Martial Saint level!
But now...
As he thought of this, his expression darkened.
"Do you really think he wouldn’t know about something this big?"
"Huangbei City may be ours, but it’s not like we control everyone here."
Zhao Huangwu sneered.
"True."
Lei Lingfei sighed helplessly.
"To be honest, I want that sword too."
"If we can find it before he arrives, we might still have a chance."
"But it won’t be easy."
Zhao Huangwu shook his head.
...
Meanwhile, Zhou Huachao had already reached the gates of Huangbei City.
As he approached, he noticed several corpses lying at the gate.
The bodies were rotting, emitting a foul stench.
A closer look at the clothes on the bodies revealed that they belonged to the coffin bearers.
Zhao Huangwu really had killed all the coffin bearers!
"Zhao Huangwu..."
Zhou Huachao’s body trembled with rage, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
This was too much!
With the Sword of Annihilation in hand, he walked directly toward the city gate.
"Zhou Huachao!"
The guards at the gate shouted in surprise.
They had never expected Zhou Huachao to appear here, and in such a brazen manner!
