Chapter 123

At the exit of the valley, hundreds of machine guns were set up, loaded with bullets. The muzzle was still warm, and the ground was dyed red by blood.

Those fleeing warriors in the Innate Realm fled here and were torn to pieces by these machine guns.

Chu Xun showed up with two girls at a very fast speed. His body was surrounded by a strong smell of blood and his eyes were very cold. He looked like the devil returning from h.e.l.l.

“Let them pa.s.s!”

In the command car, a strong man with a square face ordered. He was Xu Wei, a lieutenant general from the military region of the capital.

Whoola!

All the soldiers saluted Chu Xun perfectly together.

The soldiers of Huaxia never talked about nonsense. They just wors.h.i.+ped the strong. Chu Xun killed the Golden Wolf Mercenary alone and rescued more than 100 hostages, which made a show of Huaxia Army's strength and awed the enemy. Now Major General Chu's prestige was great in the army.

Xu Wei, as well as Azure Dragon and others, stepped forward to Chu Xun.

“Major General Chu, I'm Xu Wei. I'm ordered to cooperate with you. Please give me instructions!” Xu Wei respectfully saluted Chu Xun and said. He was a lieutenant general, while Chu Xun was only a Major General. By rights, he had the final say here. But the order from his superior leaders was that he should obey Chu Xun's command, with which he had no dissatisfaction. Because he also saw the live broadcast and admired Chu Xun very much. He would not have been so good-tempered if Chu Xun were someone else.

Chu Xun glanced at him indifferently, and nodded slightly.

Xu Wei could not help s.h.i.+vering. Now Chu Xun was enveloped by a murderous momentum, making people scared.

“Please tell me whether to attack, Major General Chu.” Xu Wei tried to stick out his chest. Standing beside Chu Xun always made him feel frightened.

Chu Xun gave Tang Rou and Liu Xin to Green Snake and asked her to take them away.

Tang Rou was very sensible. Although she was unwilling to leave, she also knew that Chu Xun had something to do and followed Green Snake to leave.

Chu Xun then looked back at Xu Wei, and answered, “Ask everyone to step back, and stay 2,500 meters away.”

“Yes.” Although Xu Wei was confused, he simply ordered the army to withdraw 2,500 meters.

“You retreat, too!” Chu Xun said to Azure Dragon and others.

“Take us with you, senior. Maybe we can help you!” said Jade Rabbit timidly. She always liked to wear a pair of fake rabbit ears on her head, which was hairy and lovely.

Chu Xun chuckled and said, “You just retreat.” Finis.h.i.+ng that, he turned around and walked towards the valley with his hands at the back.

In the valley, Chen Yuting was trembling with fear. His ugly face was even worse because of fright. He had been pulled out by the mad Qin Zhi and seen the numerous heads and corpses and the b.l.o.o.d.y stone steps.

As an old saying goes, the one who knows nothing fears nothing. Chen Yuting knew nothing, but could not fear nothing. He was scared crazy.

“Uncle, Uncle Qin, let's run. The devil will come back and kill me.” Chen Yuting was holding Qin Zhi's leg and wailing.

Qin Zhi frowned and gnashed his teeth with hatred. He hoped that the cruel man had slapped the fool to death.

The Demon King Sect's strength had been greatly undermined by the disaster ten years ago, and it barely recovered now. However, because of this fool whose head was full of s.h.i.+t, about eighty percent of the Demon King Sect's strength was destroyed.

“Ahh…”

The more Qin Zhi thought about it, the angrier he was. He was extremely furious and roared angrily. Then he smashed the huge stone beside him into pieces with one blow before he stopped roaring.

Zhong Yan and two other grandmasters looked at the mad Qin Zhi and the cowardly Chen Yuting. They felt powerless and thought there was no way to help him.

“You take good care of Young Master. It's the mealtime of the old Demon King now.” Qin Zhi suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, “By the way, clean the entrance to the secret tunnel, just in case.” After the command, he went away.

There was a secret room deep in the valley, and Qin Zhi went into it.

About ten minutes later, the door of the secret room opened, and Qin Zhi came out with a jade jar in his hand. But when he looked up, his eyes were suddenly widened and the jade jar in his hand was almost thrown out.

Ten meters away was standing a man, whose eyes were indifferent and emotionless. It was Chu Xun who went back.

Looking at the returned Chu Xun, Qin Zhi felt wronged and wanted to cry. “Why did the cruel man come back?”

Chu Xun was indifferent and suddenly threw a punch, a white light made up of True Energy appearing.

Qin Zhi almost died of grievance again. “He started a fight without saying a word again!” Fortunately, Qin Zhi was always vigilant and generated power by his feet to move away.

Boom!

The stone door of the secret room exploded and stones flew in all directions.

Chu Xun's eyes were as bright as s.h.i.+ning stars, and he rushed towards Qin Zhi with his fists.

“You went too far in bullying us.”

Qin Zhi roared and his Internal Breath surged wildly. He threw a punch fiercely with the power of breaking gold and cracking stone, wind caused by the punch blowing.

Bang!

There was a dull sound of collision. The rocks rolled down and the earth trembled and the mountains swayed.

Puff!

Qin Zhi screamed in pain. His one arm was smashed by Chu Xun's fist, and the jade jar in his hand was broken. Blood flew all over the sky.

Chu Xun's eyes were as cold as frost. The jade jar was actually filled with the blood of virgin boys and virgin girls.

“You are d.a.m.ned.”

Chu Xun rushed forward and attacked him with his fists. Wherever he pa.s.sed, sand and stones flew.

Qin Zhi's expression changed and he turned around to run away. But he was far slower than Chu Xun.

Bang!

Qin Zhi's other arm, together with the shoulder, was also smashed to pieces by Chu Xun's punch.

“Old Demon King, help me…” Qin Zhi roared.

“No one can save you today,” Chu Xun said in a cold voice. Then hundreds of reincarnation lines came out and instantly wrapped Qin Zhi.

Bang!

The reincarnation lines shrank and tightened with a rush. Then, Qin Zhi directly exploded and turned into a blood mist to nourish the earth.

Chu Xun's eyes were still full of violence. He turned around and walked into the secret room.

The secret room covered an area of 200 square meters. Inside there were large iron cages arranged one by one. The air was moist and filled with a pungent smell.

More than ten big cages were filled with children under the age of ten. There were about one hundred boys and girls.

Looking at those pairs of scared, sluggish, frightened and insensitive eyes, Chu Xun couldn't help widening his eyes violently.

The steel tubes of the big iron cage were as thick as the arms of children, but they were all torn by Chu Xun.

“Kids, let's go home!”

When these children heard Chu Xun's words, their numb eyes got vigorous.

“Brother, are you here to save us?” Finally someone spoke with some difficulty, maybe because he had been locked here for a long time.

Chu Xun nodded and answered with a gentle smile, “Yes. You are safe now.”

“Where's the bad guy?” asked a bony little girl.

“He was taken away by the police.”

“Are you a policeman, too?” asked a child.

“Yes.” Chu Xun nodded.

Perhaps in the hearts of these children, only brave police could save them.

Chu Xun called Azure Dragon and asked him to bring people in to take the children out.

After receiving the call, Azure Dragon did not dare to waste time and quickly gathered two hundred soldiers. In addition to Green Snake who escorted Tang Rou away, the rest members of the 12 Chinese Zodiacs were all there and rushed into the valley with the two hundred soldiers.

All the way, the people walked in panic, because there were numerous dead bodies and broken arms and legs on the b.l.o.o.d.y ground along the way. In particular, the deeper they went in, the more terrifying the scene was. Heads were scattering on the ground, the stone steps had been stained by blood, and the air was full of the strong smell of blood. All of this made people feel like they were in h.e.l.l.

“Er… were they all killed by senior?” Golden Monkey asked in surprise.

Azure Dragon nodded with a serious face. Chu Xun's means made him scared. His cruel means actually turned this place into a purgatory.

“How cruel!” the Jade Rabbit said in a low voice, her jewel-liked eyes full of fright.

Two hundred soldiers in the back were trembling, as if they were in h.e.l.l.

But when they saw the group of children, they realized that Chu Xun was not cruel at all. They wished they could go back to scourge the corpse.

In recent years, tens of thousands of children had disappeared in the capital. Apart from those who were trafficked by human trader, maybe all the rest had been abducted by the Demon King Sect. So many children had disappeared, but there were only more than 100 here. Perhaps all the others had died in the Maple Mountain.

“Senior, what are they doing with so many children?” Jade Rabbit cried so sadly that her eyes looked like rubies now.

These children were skinny and there were many injuries on their bodies. Besides, they had been suffering from hunger for a long time. They were so pitiful. In particular, their arms were covered with dense old and new cuts.

“To take blood,” Chu Xun said indifferently, a kind of mood that n.o.body could understand appearing in his eyes.

“What do they do with blood?” Jade Rabbit did not understand.

Others were also curious.

Azure Dragon's expression suddenly changed and he blurted out, “To feed the body?”

Chu Xun looked at him and nodded slightly.

“What are you talking about? To feed the body? What does it mean?” Jade Rabbit was still confused.

Azure Dragon was about to answer when there was suddenly a loud explosion in the distance. Instantly, the earth trembled and the mountains swayed and all people lost balance, as if it was an earthquake.

“Take the children away.” Chu Xun's expression was serious.

“Everybody, run,” shouted Azure Dragon.

All the soldiers quickly took off their coats to wrap the children and ran towards the outside while holding them.

Buzz!

The air burst and buzzed, and the smell of terror came overwhelmingly. A dark shadow appeared, as fast as lightning.

Boom!

The black shadow fell on the ground, and the ground exploded immediately. For a while, stones and dust were flying in all directions and people could not see.

Azure Dragon and others had to stop because the dark shadow just stopped in front of them.

Chu Xun rushed out like a streamer, and stood in front of all the people.

After a long time, the dust was gone. People looked over and couldn't help gasping.

Because the so-called black shadow was a huge black coffin, surrounded by black air.

Creak!

The coffin lid began to move, and everyone was nervous. The coffin was not empty, but there were people inside.

The coffin was still creaking and a ten-centimeter-long gap was shown on it. Currents of black gas came out, followed by a dry big hand. To be exact, it was a claw, which was slowly coming out of the gap.

Everyone's back was sweating and they were gooseflesh all over. Some children were frightened into tears.

Chu Xun's eyes were as s.h.i.+ny as gold. He raised his hand and made a magic signet, True Energy bursting out. A huge hand appeared in the air and fell towards the coffin with destructive power.

The dry big hand moved, and the black air converged into a big black hand and went towards the falling hand.

Chu Xun's expression changed slightly. He waved his hand to lay down a barrier, and colorful ripples of it surged.

Boom!

The air was twisted, and the fierce power spread around like the sea waves. All the plants and trees around were crushed.

Fortunately, Chu Xun had prepared in advance. The colorful light of the barrier flowed, and the raging power was blocked.

At the same time, the black coffin suddenly exploded and bits of wood flew in all directions like bullets. A figure emerged.

All people looked at it, and they widened their eyes and gasped with a rush. What was this?

The figure was nearly three meters high. It had hands, feet and head, but the whole body was hidden in the dark air and couldn't be seen clearly. They were not sure if it was a human being.

Chu Xun's expression was rarely serious. The real battle was about to begin.
