Chapter 125 You Will Beg Me to Kill You
Lao Xia sensed the sound of wind and thunder behind him, its speed incredibly fast, reaching behind him almost in the blink of an eye, which caused his complexion to change drastically.
"What sort of monster is this person from the Demon Cleansing Bureau? Why is his speed so unreal?"
Lao Xia violently grabbed an arrow from his quiver at his waist.
He didn't even look behind, but shot the arrow backward based on his feeling alone.
But still, Han Zheng caught it effortlessly with his hand and immediately snapped it in two.
Among those in the Innate Realm, the only weapon that could potentially injure Han Zheng now was the Cloud Piercing Sky Shattering Bow from the Ye Family of Fuyun Valley.
Ordinary bows and arrows that relied solely on the power of True Qi, like the ones Lao Xia used, posed no threat to Han Zheng.
Seeing Han Zheng getting closer and closer from behind, Lao Xia furiously pulled out three arrows, his arm's blood and muscles swelling with force, his strength exploding, almost snapping the huge ox-horn bow in his hand.
The three arrows whistled toward Han Zheng, who simply took out the Autumn Water Shocking Swallow and gently sliced through the air, shattered all three arrows to pieces.
Then with a slash filled with chilling Blood Slaughter Demon Qi, Lao Xia roared furiously, picking up his giant ox-horn bow and smashed it at Han Zheng like a club.
The bow was easily torn apart. Lao Xia did not retreat but instead advanced, his blood burning around him. He suddenly punched towards Han Zheng's chest.
Putting away the Autumn Water Shocking Swallow, Han Zheng punched out, and Lao Xia immediately let out a muffled grunt. His arm twisted and broke in an instant, bone shards piercing through the skin, stark white against the raw flesh.
Lao Xia's other hand, fingers together like a sword, jabbed towards Han Zheng's eyes but was effortlessly twisted and broken by Han Zheng, who then continued to twist, warping the arm into a twisted mess.
Such heavy injuries made Lao Xia immediately let out a miserable, piercing scream.
But Han Zheng didn't stop for a second, kicking directly at Lao Xia's legs, shattering his knees instantly.
Afterwards, Han Zheng picked up Lao Xia and pressed a series of points on several major acupoints around his body.
The powerful Inner Strength poured directly into his body, shattering all of his meridians and acupoints.
Now it was impossible for him to use his Inner Strength to commit suicide.
As for biting his own tongue to die, that was unreliable to begin with.
Besides, Martial Artists who had reached the Mercury Blood Silver Marrow Realm had blood as thick as mercury. Their wounds healed very rapidly.
Even if the tongue were bitten off, at most he would be unable to speak, and soon enough, the wound would clot.
"Even if you kill me, I won't say a thing!"
Lao Xia glared at Han Zheng with fierce intensity written all over his face.
Han Zheng chuckled lightly, "I know you Blood Wolf Thieves are tough, but I'm really curious to see just how tough you can be.
Don't worry, in the end, you'll be begging me to kill you."
Taking out the Autumn Water Shocking Swallow, Han Zheng circulated the Shocking God Needle, leaving behind just a trace of the Pain Origin from the Shocking God Needle on the sword.
Han Zheng dared not to directly inject the Shocking God Needle into Lao Xia's body.
In his current state, if the Pain Origin entered his body directly, the pain might actually kill him.
He used the Autumn Water Shocking Swallow, now tinged with the Pain Origin, and gently sliced Lao Xia's body, leading the latter to scream out as if he were being slaughtered.
These Blood Wolf Thieves were all extremely ruthless bandits, treating others and themselves with equal disregard for life.
Take Lao Xia, for instance, his eyes had once been gouged out, yet he still managed to fight against his opponents. In the end, he used his teeth to tear out the enemy's throat.
He'd even had his abdomen sliced open, his intestines spilling out, but he had stuffed them back in and used an arrow to hold the wound together while continuing the fight.
He had survived these hellish life-and-death battles, but compared to Han Zheng's light slash, they were no more than mosquito bites.
This agonizing pain was one that penetrated deep into the marrow and soul, a pain so severe that no matter how strong his willpower, he could not withstand it!
Han Zheng dragged Lao Xia along as if he were dragging a dead dog, leisurely walking inside the cavern.
He knew there would definitely be Blood Wolf Thieves in ambush who would hear these screams, who would see this scene.
Someone would certainly lose their composure and make a move.
Sure enough, one of the Blood Wolf Thieves who recognized Lao Xia could no longer restrain himself and jumped out to save Lao Xia.
"Lao Xia! Hang in there!"
A Blood Wolf Thief, armed with a long spear, lunged from behind Han Zheng, the spear brimming with a chilling killing intent and sharpness, his strength also formidable.
"Don't come over!"
While letting out a mournful scream, Lao Xia desperately squeezed out these three words.
But it was already too late.
Han Zheng turned around and slashed, his blade carrying a tremendous Blood Slaughter mixed with the robust and surging Demonic Qi, a power that seemed beyond what someone from the Innate Realm should have.
But this one slash that fell didn't even elicit a muted groan from the Blood Wolf Thief before he was cruelly cut into two halves by Han Zheng's strike!
[Slaying a martial artist at the late stage of the Innate Transcendence Realm, obtained 300 Qi Blood Essence.]
The old blind man's agonized roars were mixed with woeful howls.
Han Zheng gently patted his face and said in astonishment, "I didn't expect that you beasts would have such good brotherly feelings for each other. I didn't expect to lure one out so quickly.
Your bait is quite effective, not bad, not bad."
The old blind man glared at Han Zheng with his one eye.
There was no longer any ferocity in that eye, only terror.
This kind of look was actually very familiar to the old blind man.
Those who had been slain by the Blood Wolf Thieves, those three women who had been violated by the old blind man and his accomplices, had all once looked at them with this kind of terror in their eyes.
The Blood Wolf Thieves were brutal and merciless, and the old blind man himself knew that the deeds they committed were heinous.
But at this moment, he felt that this Xuanjia Guard from the Demon Cleansing Bureau was even more brutal and merciless than those heinous Blood Wolf Thieves!
His actions were even more devilish than the devils themselves!
At this time, the old blind man's howling seemed to have diminished somewhat.
The Autumn Water Shocking Swallow was merely coated with the power of the Pain Origin, and the Shocking God Needle had not penetrated into the old blind man's body, so the effects faded easily.
Han Zheng didn't care, and once again followed the same method, slicing the old blind man again while dragging him through the cave.
Feeling the Pain Origin fading from the old blind man's body, Han Zheng simply slashed him again.
In just a moment, the old blind man's body was slashed up as if he had been subjected to death by a thousand cuts, covered in slashes.
Eventually, he couldn't even shout out, his roars mixed with powerless hoarseness.
The other Blood Wolf Thieves hiding in the surrounding caves all gritted their teeth in hatred, wishing they could devour Han Zheng alive.
Although the Blood Wolf Thieves were brutal to outsiders, they did share some brotherly solidarity among their own.
Not to mention their earlier experiences.
Having been hunted by the Smell Fragrance Sect, and then escaping from the treacherous Tiancang Mountain Range to the Southern Mountain Road, they wouldn't have been able to survive without supporting each other.
Therefore, these remaining Blood Wolf Thieves genuinely regarded each other as brothers, as ones they could trust to cover each other's backs.
Not to mention, as the great bandits of Huainan Road, they had their own pride.
They were the fierce and cruel ones against others—who was able to treat them the same way?
Even though they knew Han Zheng was powerful, there were still some Blood Wolf Thieves who couldn't bear it and lashed out.
However, this time they had learned to be somewhat smarter, with three of them charging out simultaneously from three different cave entrances to attack Han Zheng.
Yet it was still futile in the face of absolute power.
The moment Han Zheng spotted the three of them, he instantly activated the Wind and Thunder Nine Transitions, erupting in a furious roar of wind and thunder around him, and managed to appear directly in front of one of the Blood Wolf Thieves.
That Blood Wolf Thief was utterly horrified and had no time to react before Han Zheng's Autumn Water Shocking Swallow was already swirling with a dazzling and brilliant Blood Slaughter Blade as it cleaved through the air.
In the face of this ultimate power, even though that Blood Wolf Thief burned his Qi Blood, he was still cut into two halves by Han Zheng's slash.
The other two changed their expressions drastically and immediately shifted their target, trying to take the opportunity to rescue the old blind man.
But in a moment's time, Han Zheng had turned and sliced with his sword, the chilling and brilliant Sword Light spreading densely like a vast net that instantly enveloped everything within dozens of yards.
The two Blood Wolf Thieves showed looks of horror.
How could this man's Inner Strength True Qi be so powerful to form a net of Sword Light over such a large area? Could he possibly be at the Xuan Gang Realm?
One of the Blood Wolf Thieves shouted fiercely, his Qi Blood boiling over in a blaze, and his True Qi transformed into surging thunder and lightning that exploded around him.
"Take the old blind man and run!"
That Blood Wolf Thief burned his Qi Blood, exhausted his True Qi, and the boundless flesh and thunder intertwined to finally blast open a gap in the sky full of Sword Light, but he himself was torn into several pieces.
The remaining Blood Wolf Thief picked up the old blind man and tried to rush out.
But Han Zheng had already slammed down the Great Vajra Ming King Seal with one hand, smashing that Blood Wolf Thief's head right back into its cavity!
Apart from providing Han Zheng with 800 points of Qi Blood Essence, these three Blood Wolf Thieves did not cause him even the slightest damage.
The rest of the Blood Wolf Thieves, hearing the wailing, all shrank back into the caves.
It wasn't that they didn't want to save the old blind man; they just didn't want to die in vain!
This person from the Demon Cleansing Bureau was simply a monster, almost without an equal amongst his peers!
