Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 928 – Fear

From far away, there came a shout of excitement that seemed to have drilled into their very bones. Many people ran towards that direction. That saying that there were treasures here had attracted the souls of many people. But at this moment, An Zheng’s expression changed greatly, and quickly rushed over.

Yes, in a place like Immortal palace ruins, if someone found a treasure, who would still shout it out loud?

However, in the face of excitement and desire, not many people could remain rational.

When An Zheng rushed over, there were already a few people on the ground. All of them had died with a single strike, their wounds all over their hearts. It seemed like he had used a strange weapon to kill it. From the front, the wound was only as big ahumb and the wound on his back was even smaller. If one didn’t look carefully, they would think it was just a red dot.

iron rod?

An Zheng frowned, and chased after him.

After running about two hundred meters, they reached a cliff. On top of the cliff, there was a cave about the height of a person. Corpses were strewn all over the entrance of the cave, making people’s scalp tingle. Everyone had a hole in their heart, which meant that so many people could have been killed by one person.

At first, An Zheng thought that the group of people had chased after them when they discovered someone was killing them. But it was only here that he was sure that it was a group of people who were chasing after a group of people. One of them was lying on the ground, not completely dead yet. He grabbed An Zheng’s pants and pointed at his own chest with all his might, trying to open his mouth but unable to make a sound.

“Save …”

In the end, he only made one sound, and then he fell back and died.

Apparently, this was all part of their plan. They had been lured into the cave and chased inside. This plan was definitely not executed by one person, at least two. A group of mixed cultivators deliberately brought them into the cave, and the fact that the pursuer entered the cave was equivalent to entering the slaughterhouse prepared for him.

An Zheng entered the cave and chased after them. Every few meters, there was a corpse on the ground. Because the killers were too fast, many people didn’t die immediately and were still wailing.

“Don’t go inside!”

A dying person shouted to An Zheng: “That’s a demon, don’t go!”

An Zheng initially did not want to waste medicinal pellets to save these people who had their reason ripped apart by greed, but before this person died, his kind thoughts caused An Zheng to pause in his steps. He turned around and looked at the man’s injuries. The man’s luck was not bad. Although the wound was on his heart, it was slightly off. An Zheng took ouellet of Golden-Rank and stuffed it into his mouth: “Leave the Immortal palace ruins, this is not a place you should be.”

The man knelt down. “Thank you!”

An Zheng shook his head, “You saved yourself. Your life was originally not as precious as my golden core.”

After An Zheng finished speaking, he chased after him inside, and the injured man’s luck was extremely good, he was about to exit the cave and meet Qu Liuxi and the others again. Qu Liuxi helped him apply the medicine, so there were not many people who could match her medical skills in the entire world. After a golden pellet and Qu Liuxi’s treatment, that person’s injuries were quickly controlled.

“Let’s go, don’t come back.”

Qu Liuxi supported the man and said.

That person looked at Qu Liuxi as though he was looking at a goddess. But when he heard the feeling from Qu Liuxi’s words from the person who saved him earlier, he understood.

An Zheng chased after him all the way, and at the end of the cave was actually the other side of the mountain. This was a cave that cut through the entire mountain, and opposite it was a dense forest that he could not see the end of. An Zheng saw that there waerson standing in front of him in a strange posture, and when he rushed over, he saw that the person was standing in a swamp, and it seemed like there was something biting at him in the swamp. He could not get out, and he could not escape.

“Don’t come over here! There’s a demon beast here!”

The man shouted, but before the voice could fall, An Zheng had already rushed forward, grabbing onto his chest and pulling. With a “pu” sound, that person’s kneecaps were all gone. A python-like thing bit into his leg, but it still continued to gnaw on it. An Zheng had just seen this thing outside the cave. It looked like a giant earthworm.

This thing was so greedy that it frightened people. Even after it was pulled out from the swamp, it still continued to bite the man’s leg. The earthworm’s mouth was filled witing of densely packed teeth that were biting at an extremely fast speed. An Zheng twisted the body of the earthworm, causing it to open its mouth wide and bite towards An Zheng’s arm.

With a clang, the tooth broke into pieces.

The purple lightning in An Zheng’s hands extended out and the bug was instantly burnt to ashes. After An Zheng threw down a pill, he chased after the cultivator, who was in so much pain that he had already fainted.

After chasing for another few hundred meters, he saw that there were at least fifty to sixty people ganging up on one person and shouted loudly. Only when they got closer did they clearly see that this wasn’t a gang fight, this was simply a person hunting. However, after these people were caught up to, they had no way to run. They could only unite and put everything on the line.

That person was dressed in black, and in his hand was a 1.2-3 meter long iron rod, his movements was extremely fast and strange.

A cultivator stepped forward and slashed down with his saber. He could clearly see the black-clothed man standing there, but after that one slash, he had disappeared. A few black shadows flashed by. The blade wielding cultivator looked left and right, not knowing which black shadow was the real one. In the end, witu sound, the iron rod pierced through his back.

The other cultivator was quite powerful, and saw the opportunity to stab the black-clothed man in the back. Dang! The black-clothed man staggered a bit from the stab, but actually turned around and stabbed his opponent to death with a iron rod. That fierce strike was actually unable to do anything to him.

Fighter!

Furthermore, it looked to be even stronger than when An Zheng had met them in the Northwest Earth Palace. This also meant that these warriors had been remodelled and now had the ability to evolve. They were already Lower Celestial Stage Rankers from the start, if they were to evolve … One could imagine how terrifying it was.

A fighter who kills seems to be paranoid and only stabs the heart. The group of people still dared to gather together and fight back. After five or six people died, no one dared to go up anymore. They once again turned around and ran.

An Zheng shot forward like an arrow, while the iron rod had already pierced another cultivator’s back. An Zheng arrived, grabbed the cultivator in front of him and threw him forward, the Broken Army Sword in his hand clanged and pushed the iron rod away.

The participant looked at An Zheng in shock, then actually turned around and left immediately. Maybe he could tell that An Zheng was strong, so he didn’t even consider fighting.

An Zheng chased after him in a flash, and swept out with his sword after stopping the enemy. The Warrior’s iron rod blocked it for a bit, but who knew what kind of equipment was used to create it? It was just that the strength of An Zheng’s body was stronger than what he could match, and could send his iron rod flying with a single sword strike. The fighter knew he could not escape, so he chose to self-destruct without any hesitation!

An Zheng wanted to move forward, but when he saw the man’s body twist, he immediately retreated.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The dense forest was cleared to the size of a thousand meters. A huge pit appeared on the ground, and not a single blade of grass could be seen within a thousand meters.

A fighter, a Lower Celestial Stage level killing machine, actually chose to self-destruct without hesitation. If An Zheng’s teleportation distance was just a little bit smaller, he might have been affected by the explosion. If it was someone else, who was on par with An Zheng but was slower than him, they would have been injured by the explosion. Although it wasn’t enough to instantly kill him, the severity of his injuries was completely different.

Chen Shaobai caught up, and looking at that terrifying pit, his expression changed. “So ruthless.”

An Zheng nodded his head, “They have been trained to be killing machines, so if they think they cannot escape, they will choose to self-destruct without hesitation. If I had been a little slower, I might have been left behind. This is something that a normal person would never be able to do. It’s suicide, and he actually didn’t even think for a second. ”

Chen Shaobai said: “As you can imagine, if these warriors were to be thrown into the battlefield, it would berrifying thing for the enemy. If it is used to assassinate the head of the enemy, there is no need to worry about any accidents happening after being captured alive. ”

Qu Liuxi caught up from behind, and carefully looked at An Zheng: “Are you alright?”

An Zheng shook his head.

He looked into the distance and saw that all the surviving cultivators had already fled.

“Let’s go. A fighter self-detonated. An expert of the Jin’ling Guards will soon come to investigate.”

An Zheng and the others turned and left, looking down from the top of the mountain, which was not too far away from here. Not long after, a large group of Jin’ling Guards came from all directions and quickly entered the deep pit as if they were searching for something. Ten minutes later, someone came out of the pit with a black object in his hand. The remaining Jin’ling Guards quickly retreated to protect him.

“There’roblem.”

An Zheng said: “Wait for me, I will go take a look.”

Chen Shaobai passed the yaksha umbrella to An Zheng: “Don’t take any risks.”

An Zheng acknowledged and rushed down from the top of the mountain. The team of Jin’ling Guards was in a protective formation, and the Jin’ling Guards were tightly protected. Everyone was using him as the center of the formation. Only the protection of the officials and the princes would be of any use. An Zheng stared at the black object in the man’s hand, and realised that it was an iron box that was around 10 cm square.

An Zheng suddenly teleported over and knocked over the person holding the thing in one move amongst the crowd of Golden Tomb Guards. Then, he appeared out of the crowd in a flash and left with his fastest speed. The Jin’ling Guards roared and immediately began to scatter in search of their subordinates. They were truly well-trained.

An Zheng brought the iron box back to the place where he was fighting over the items. He stood there for a while with the yaksha umbrella in his hand.

After returning to the top of the mountain, An Zheng opened the iron box. In fact, it was not really a metal box, and its shape was irregular. It looked like it was made of a special metal, but it was much lighter than the metal. When he opened it, he found a beating heart inside.

“Fighters?”

Chen Shaobai’s face turned white: Damn it, in other words, as long as the heart is not damaged, these warriors will not die?

“No wonder he chose to self-destruct without any hesitation.”

Du Shoushou scolded: “Is he even human?”

“He was never human.”

Qu Liuxi squatted down and looked at the box and the heart: “This box iype of magic tool that can store vital energy. It looks like it can ensure that the heart will beat again within an hour. I suspect that this thing was not brought over by them when they were looking for someone. Instead, it was inside the body of that warrior from the start. Its heart was surrounded by this thing, which is why it did not self-destruct. ”

“Just how evil ierson to be able to develop such a method?”

An Zheng stood up and looked down the mountain, “This is only one of them. There are still four left. Those cultivators who entered the Immortal palace ruins were their prey … Chen Wunuo is about to go crazy. ”
