Chapter 1410: I’m Taking You Home!
Chapter 1410: I’m Taking You Home!
The crowd was shocked beyond words as they witnessed Heck being torn in half. Heck was a War God from the Werewolf clan, renowned for his impressive feats and achievements over the years. Such a fierce and formidable figure, yet Xiao Zheng had suppressed him single-handedly. This scene was truly beyond imagination.
Everyone looked at Xiao Zheng with a trace of fear in their eyes. To what extent had Xiao Zheng’s power reached? If someone like Heck failed, how could they possibly resist? What would happen if Xiao Zheng turned his hand against them next?
Vlad III’s expression was especially dramatic, filled with anger, humiliation, and gloom, but above all, fear. His power was similar to Heck’s, and if Xiao Zheng could kill Heck so effortlessly, then he could also kill him with ease.
Bang.
Suddenly, the ground shook as Xiao Zheng stepped forward. His step was so heavy that it caused the ground to tremble.
Vlad III was terrified and quickly stepped back three steps, and the others in Medicine King Valley also retreated in fear.
Xiao Zheng gave them a contemptuous smile. It seemed the arrogant Blood Clan and Werewolves also knew fear and dread.
The faces of Vlad III and others turned pale with embarrassment, but their steps stealthily moved further away.
In such moments, face and pride were irrelevant; life was what mattered. Both Blood Clan and Werewolves are long-lived clans, who often cherish life dearly. Knowing Xiao Zheng’s terrifying might, they had no arrogance left to show.
Xiao Zheng shook his head and continued walking forward. He even passed beside Vlad III, but at that moment, Vlad III’s body was stiff, not daring to make an attack or even move an inch.
Xiao Zheng did not care about their reactions and walked straight to the corpse of the Grandmaster, staring at it silently. The corpse was now emanating a foul stench, already decaying, with vultures having pecked at it, exposing white bones in many places.
"I’ll take you home."
Xiao Zheng said softly.
A martyr should not suffer such humiliation.
Xiao Zheng laid the corpse of the Grandmaster down. Due to the decay, the rotten flesh could no longer cling to the bones and would fall off with a slight touch. The southwest mountain region was damp, and maggots could even be seen within the corpse.
Xiao Zheng felt even more weight in his heart. With a subtle movement of the Dan Yuan, a gentle Gang Qi surged from his palm, enveloping the corpse lightly to prevent further damage.
Vlad III and others were watching Xiao Zheng do these things with wide eyes, not daring to act, afraid that Xiao Zheng might strike again.
This visit to Medicine King Valley was not only to take down Heck but also to bring back the heroic corpse. Xiao Zheng, holding the Grandmaster’s corpse, silently walked towards the mountain’s exit to bury it in its hometown.
"Just... leaving like that?"
Watching Xiao Zheng’s gradually disappearing figure, Vlad III and others couldn’t believe it, simultaneously feeling a sense of relief.
However, seeing the corpse torn in half on the ground, they felt heavy-hearted again. Xiao Zheng’s demonic god-like posture when he tore Heck and his invincible might were deeply imprinted in their hearts, likely to awaken them from their dreams even after countless years.
Heck once said the Eastern Martial Arts World had fallen with no heroes left, but he finally paid the most tragic price for his words.
Bang!
Suddenly, Vlad III punched the ground, his face turning hideous as he cursed: "Damn it, I was fooled!"
Others immediately showed a puzzled expression upon hearing this.
Vlad III said: "That Xiao Zheng must have used all his power to kill Heck, and has no strength left to strike again. Otherwise, why didn’t he attack us afterward? Apparently, he might be exhausted and nearly depleted. If we had acted then, we could have captured him alive!"
Upon hearing this, everyone dared not say more, secretly curling up their lips.
Even if what you say is true, at that time, everyone had guessed just that point, would they dare to act?
No, they wouldn’t.
No one dared to take that risk.
If Xiao Zheng truly still had the power for one more battle, what if he became enraged upon their attack and started slaughtering again? No one dared take that risk.
Ultimately, it’s just backseat criticism now.
...
Before nightfall, Xiao Zheng rushed to Medicine King Valley, single-handedly slaying Heck, and then left the southwest mountains with the Grandmaster’s corpse, bringing it back home for burial. This series of actions could not be hidden, and soon spread like a storm throughout the entire Eastern Ancient Martial World.
Immediately, everyone was shaken. Since the invasion by the Blood Clan and Werewolves, the Eastern Ancient Martial World had faced continuous defeats, shrouded in darkness, and suffered humiliation. Today, someone finally tore a hole in the dim sky, showing people the light.
Everyone became excited.
After today, who would dare say Huaxia has no one?
Who would dare say Huaxia has no spirited men?
Passionate discussions erupted in every corner of Huaxia, with people all feeling exhilarated. Previously, the arrogant Blood Clan and Werewolves had boasted Huaxia had no one, yet now they were beaten to retreating mess?
"Hehe, even if the Evil God wiped out Heck, so what? Heck was just a strong figure among the Blood Clan and Werewolves. Even if he was killed, it doesn’t change the advantageous situation the Blood Clan and Werewolves still hold!"
However, amidst this scenario, a sarcastic voice echoed within the Ancient Martial World, diminishing Xiao Zheng’s actions as insignificant.
"The Evil God did wrong! Initially, the Blood Clan and Werewolves were about to withdraw after breaking Medicine King Valley. Now with his commotion, isn’t it going to reignite the war?"
Moreover, voices even began to criticize Xiao Zheng, saying that he provoked the invaders, putting Huaxia in greater danger.
Upon hearing such comments, any reasonable person would be infuriated. Was avenging that Grandmaster and resisting the invaders wrong?
Was swallowing the insult, enduring humiliation, and allowing foreign invaders to trample the land the right thing to do? What kind of nonsense is this?
Many people vehemently refuted these claims.
Soon, those insulting and mocking Xiao Zheng were almost rendered speechless from being cursed!
Xiao Zheng, the new star of Huaxia Eastern Earth, single-handedly supporting the entire Martial Arts World, who else has the qualifications to pass judgment on him?
