Chapter 339 The Path to Death
Xu Si didn't even glance at the leader who was lunging at Su Su.
His attention remained fixed on the second-in-command, whose figure had suddenly shrunk.
Due to its universal affinity, its presence is impossible to hide from.
Even without the affinity of all things, his every move is clearly visible under the star vein.
He might be the best assassin.
But Xu Si might be the most effective counter to assassins.
Amidst the second-in-command's dazzling array of attack routes, he surprisingly discovered that Xu Si's gaze remained fixed on him.
"This is outrageous!"
Just as he was about to launch an attack, a pitch-black chain had somehow wrapped around his ankle, like a venomous snake that had been lurking for a long time finally baring its fangs.
Before he could react, he was already tightly bound.
He really saw a ghost.
Xu Si turned around and glanced at Jiang Li, somewhat speechless.
He just wanted to let this guy be the clown for a little longer, but someone beat him to it.
Jiang Li pointed innocently to Fu Xiaojian beside her, indicating that she was just following orders.
After being blasted away by Su Su's punch, the leader and three others were locked in Chen Pei's water prison.
In almost the blink of an eye, the group in front of them was completely routed.
Fu Xiaojian had clearly seen that Xu Si was intent on killing him, which is why he sent Jiang Li to make a move.
Since the end times, there have truly been fewer and fewer humans.
However, Xu Si did not explain anything.
If Fu Xiaojian had witnessed the horrific scene inside the ancestral hall, he might have become even more ruthless than himself.
Just as Fu Xiaojian stepped forward to make contact with the unfamiliar convoy.
A woman, staggering and disheveled, rushed out of the ancestral hall.
"Yes, yes, I have women, I have many women. I'll give them all to you, just spare my life! I'm a human being too!" The burly man with a face full of scars smiled broadly.
Fu Xiaojian's face immediately turned cold.
Before he could say anything, a woman wielding a sharp blade rushed out from behind him; it was Liang Hong.
With her newly acquired magical longsword, she pierced straight through the water prison and into the body of the burly man with a face full of scars.
"You bitch! I'll fuck you to death!"
He was scared; he knew this woman was serious.
Moreover, how could an ordinary person possess such a wondrous object?
An ordinary knife wouldn't be able to break through his defenses.
"Spare my life, and I'll be your slave from now on!" This was said to Fu Xiaojian, whom he thought was in charge.
The second-in-command had already resigned himself to fate; he neither argued nor struggled.
Anyway, he's had enough of living.
Liang Hong ignored this and painstakingly drew the sword, then thrust it again.
Pull again, stab again.
She was crying while stabbing him.
"They eat people! They eat people!"
The woman who had fallen to the ground was also crying and venting her emotions.
Fu Xiaojian, who had originally intended to reach out to Liang Hong to stop, slowly lowered his hand.
This is a way to die.
Liang Hong's sword was still thrusting.
Once, twice, three times.
Blood seeped from the water prison, turning Chen Pei's water prison into a murky red, causing him to frown, but he did not let it dissipate and allowed Liang Hong to do as she pleased.
"Sister Hong."
Xiao Wu couldn't bear to watch any longer. He wasn't worried about that scumbag, but about Liang Hong, who was already emotionally broken.
Liang Hong paused for a moment, but did not stop.
She thrust several more times until the burly man could no longer make a sound and was completely still. Only then did she slowly loosen her grip on the hilt of her sword, collapsing to the ground, panting heavily, tears and snot mingling together, making it impossible to tell whether she was crying or laughing.
It is rare to clearly perceive the word "horror" from a woman.
Fu Xiaojian didn't say anything more.
His gaze swept over the woman slumped on the ground, then turned to the half-closed side door deep inside the ancestral hall.
Through the crack in the door, several pairs of equally empty eyes were peering out.
"Tashan," he began.
"Um!"
"Take some people in to see how many survivors are left. Take good care of them."
Tashan paused for a moment, then nodded emphatically and led several team members quickly toward the ancestral hall. The women, like frightened birds, shrank back into the corner in fear.
Chen Pei's water prison still firmly bound the remaining people.
The second-in-command was as quiet as a dead snake, neither struggling nor begging for mercy, just closing his eyes, as if all of this had nothing to do with him, and as if he had already foreseen his fate.
The fourth and fifth brothers were trembling like leaves, only repeating one sentence over and over: "It's not our fault... It was all the boss's doing... It was all the boss's doing..."
Su Su stood to the side, the golden light around her fading, her golden eyes sweeping over the two men, showing no anger, only indifference.
The tragic scene inside the ancestral hall was even more shocking than what Xu Sixingmai had sensed.
Tashan kicked open the half-closed wooden door of the side room, and a pungent musty smell mixed with the stench of excrement hit him, causing the team members who followed him to take a half step back.
Fu Xiaojian did not retreat.
His eyes were as dark as two stagnant pools of water.
Fu Xiaojian walked back to the second-in-command.
The lean, sinister-looking man kept his eyes closed, as if he were oblivious to everything around him and resigned himself to fate.
"Open your eyes," Fu Xiaojian said.
No response.
"I'm asking you, open your eyes."
The second-in-command finally opened his eyes. There was no fear or anger in his eyes, only mockery.
"What do you want to know? Is human flesh tasty?" he asked, his words filled with endless mockery.
"Why would they eat people?"
The second-in-command's lips twitched, as if he wanted to laugh.
"It's the apocalypse, and you're asking me why I eat people? If there's no food, am I supposed to eat monsters instead?"
The second-in-command screamed hysterically, refusing to accept what he called moral judgment.
"And you? You've traveled this far, haven't you eaten anyone? What right do you have to judge us?"
He questioned.
However, when he saw the silent and calm gazes of Fu Xiaojian and the others, his heart tightened.
He finally realized where he went wrong.
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
At the same time, he was like a deflated balloon, muttering only one sentence.
Fu Xiaojian didn't look at him again and turned to walk towards the ancestral hall.
The three people in the water dungeon were also completely devoured by the [Crocodile Demon] conjured by Chen Pei using water.
Only the lingering echo of "I don't believe it" remained, reverberating in everyone's ears.
At this moment, Tashan was leading his men to help the survivors out of the side room one by one.
There were seven or eight women, the youngest looking no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and the oldest no more than thirty.
They were dressed in rags, with empty eyes, and walked with an unconscious hunch, like a herd of domesticated livestock.
"brute."
Shao Bing rarely swore, but as a soldier he had seen a lot of filth, he just couldn't stand this.
Xu Si suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a group of people at the bottom of the cliff who hadn't been dealt with yet.
However, adhering to the principle of not wronging an innocent person, he still asked the woman, with whom he could barely communicate, a question.
"Should the others be killed?"
"They deserve to die, they deserve to die, they've been eating people! I..." She stopped mid-sentence, stunned.
