Chapter 331: Chapter 135: Qi Blood Nine Transformation! Sect Leader of the Black Lotus!_5
And trailing far behind Hong Zhenxiang and his people were nearly ten thousand Dafeng Iron Cavalry!
“It’s just up ahead.”
On the outskirts of a desolate mountain far from Dafeng State City, Su Changkong and his group of seven all had serious expressions on their faces.
According to the information they had, that rebel camp was located within this mountain. Although each of them was a martial arts powerhouse, including Hong Zhenxiang as a top-tier force, they had no idea if the enemy had any formidable figures, so they had to be cautious.
“Let’s go!”
With a smile, Hong Zhenxiang, dressed in a brown snug-fitting outfit, took the lead and charged into the mountain. Su Changkong and the other six spread out at intervals as they headed into the desolate hill.
In the quiet of the night, everything seemed especially still.
Within what appeared to be a desolate wilderness, amongst the leaves of a great tree, a short-haired man in leather armor crouched silently.
“I’ve been hiding here for a month already, when will we take action again?”
The short-haired man muttered to himself out of sheer boredom, fiddling with a dagger in his hand. He licked his lips, his eyes lighting up with anticipation and a bloodthirsty glint as he recalled the unrestrained slaughter and plundering.
As members of the ‘Revolutionary Army,’ they believed that a single spark could start a prairie fire. However, most of them were vicious and ruthless individuals who most enjoyed the killing and plundering amidst chaos, seizing what they could never have before and feeling a sense of justification, believing it was necessary in the process of rebellion.
They amass wealth aggressively, using it as funds to attract more ‘like-minded’ individuals to join!
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, the short-haired man’s pupils contracted as he saw a burly shadow at the entrance in the distance, charging out like a fierce beast, trailing a shadow behind.
“The enemy…”
The short-haired man hurriedly tried to shout.
But the next second, the burly shadow leapt up, soaring a dozen feet in the air, grasped the man’s collar, and flung him with one hand.
“Bang!”
The short-haired man crashed to the ground like a cannonball, making an indent, bleeding from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, his internal organs and bones shattered, dead on impact!
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
The rebels within the mountain were also alerted, their cries of alarm ringing in the air.
Su Changkong, adorned in silver armor, made his way deep into the mountain. He ignored the sentries along the way, killing any who tried to stop him with a flick of his hand.
Deep within the mountain was a temporarily constructed camp, with watchtowers and even more tents, both large and small. Judging by the number and size of these tents, these rebels numbered at least two or three thousand.
“An enemy attack? Who is it?”
At this moment, all the rebels in the camp were stirred by the noise and rushed out of the tents, weapons in hand, alert and on guard.
“Boom!”
With a thunderous roar, Hong Zhenxiang burst out with awe-inspiring divine might, leaping nearly sixty to seventy feet high, his burly figure crashing mightily into the rebel camp. His heavy body, like a huge elephant, whipped up a gust of wind that shattered the bones and sinews of five or six nearby rebels, sending them flying!
“It’s… it’s Hong Zhenxiang!”
Some of the rebels recognized Hong Zhenxiang, and were both shocked and angry.
Hong Zhenxiang was a name that struck fear into the hearts of those near Dafeng State City!
“Kneel and surrender, and you may have a shred of a chance to live!”
Hong Zhenxiang scanned the crowd, his voice booming with the majesty of a Heavenly God.
“Hong Zhenxiang! Aren’t you overstepping your bounds? This place is two thousand miles from Dafeng State City. We haven’t troubled each other’s waters. Why must you meddle?”
An angry voice sounded. A man in a black robe with a pale complexion and a sinister presence rushed out of a tent, glaring at Hong Zhenxiang. By his side, there were several martial artists with extraordinary auras.
“Who are you?”
Hong Zhenxiang looked at the man in the black robe, sensing that the man’s aura was not weak, indicating he was a rare expert. Thus, he asked.
In a grave voice, the sinister man replied, “I am Ding Qiu, the Sect Leader of the Black Lotus Sect’s Dafeng State division!”
“Black Lotus Sect’s Ding Qiu? It seems that this time… we’ve caught a big fish!”
At this, Hong Zhenxiang’s eyes lit up with a cold glint.
The Black Lotus Sect was a deeply entrenched faction in the Great Flame Empire, stopping at nothing to incite rebellion and overthrow the imperial authority. Clearwater City once fell into chaos because of the Black Lotus Sect, leaving many families destroyed and lives ruined.
And in such a key location as Dafeng State City, the Black Lotus Sect had established a division.
Many of the rebels, in fact, were funded by the Black Lotus Sect!
Now that Ding Qiu had identified himself as a Sect Leader of the Black Lotus Sect…
“Hong Zhenxiang, you and the Dafeng Iron Cavalry should be repelling foreign enemies; that’s your duty. We haven’t invaded Dafeng State City, nor have we threatened the Dafeng Iron Cavalry’s garrisons. There’s no need for bloodshed! It’ll be a loss for both sides!” Ding Qiu said in a deep voice.
“Foreign enemies seek to take over our land and resources, while you rebels and evil sects are evil demons and heretics. What you do is to uproot us! You are more detestable than those foreign enemies! You must be killed!”
Hong Zhenxiang did not want to talk further. The Black Lotus Sect, undermining the empire in secret, had turned the last revolutionary army leader, Wei Chiao, and even the Deputy Commander Chai Zheng was likely involved with them.
The Black Lotus Sect claimed not to have harmed Dafeng State City, but in reality, it had already extended its reach.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Furthermore, the atrocities committed by the Black Lotus Sect had led countless civilians to ruin and death. Even if they posed no direct threat to Dafeng State City, encountering them meant they had to be killed, no questions asked!
“Boom!”
With the command to kill, Hong Zhenxiang took a step forward. His clenched fist seemed to draw thunderbolts from the air, converging between his fingers. A punch erupted like an exploding thunderbolt, striking directly at the sinister man in the black robe, Ding Qiu!
