"Bang!"
It wasn't until Zhang Tianheng's head slammed heavily onto the ground, producing a muffled thud, that the onlookers at the city gate reacted. They immediately scattered like birds, those who had just left the city quickly fleeing away from Jade Water City, and those who wanted to enter abandoned their plans, turning into streams of light and escaping into the distance, looking like they were fleeing for their lives!
"You… you actually dared to kill the young master! Brothers, attack! Take them down!"
A city guard said, his voice trembling, his face filled with fear, and his heart full of dread. But for some reason, even knowing that he was no match for Lu Chengfeng and Gu Huaiyu, he took the lead, charging forward with his long halberd.
The other city guards also showed a trace of fear in their eyes, but besides fear, there was more determination.
A flash of light, and the city guard who took the lead exploded into a cloud of blood mist. But what puzzled Gu Huaiyu was that the city guard's eyes were full of rejoicing before he died. What was there to rejoice about when he was dead?
Gu Huaiyu was puzzled, and Lu Chengfeng was also confused.
They originally thought that killing one more person decisively would stop the others out of fear, but they never expected that the remaining city guards, although showing fear on their faces, would still charge at them fearlessly!
Since they were afraid of death, why did they still seek death? Did Zhang Tianheng, this纨绔(wánkù - good-for-nothing) son, have such great personal charm that his subordinates could overcome their fear of death to avenge him?
"Sister Lu, are they… crazy?" Gu Huaiyu asked.
Lu Chengfeng shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand what was going on either. It was clear that these people were very afraid of death, but now they were fearlessly attacking them.
"What should we do now?" Gu Huaiyu asked.
"Don't be too heavy-handed, let's understand the situation first," Lu Chengfeng said.
Neither of them were bloodthirsty people, and besides, they were new here and didn't want to cause trouble at all. Gu Huaiyu's killing of Zhang Tianheng was not only because Zhang Tianheng was so annoying, but also because Gu Huaiyu was venting her inner depression. Her Chaos Profound Yellow Pagoda was lost, and she had been holding back a breath in her heart. Plus, Gu Huaiyu's personality was straightforward, and Zhang Tianheng's actions just happened to meet her blade.
But now, the anger in her heart had dissipated for the most part, and she had no intention of killing these city guards. The previous killing of that city guard was just to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.
Gu Huaiyu nodded lightly, and from then on, she didn't use any killing moves, just knocked down the attacking enemies, leaving them with no chance to fight back for a while.
In an instant, dozens of city guards were subdued by them.
Lu Chengfeng came to a city guard and was about to speak when the man spoke first: "Please, two immortals, give me and my brothers a quick death!"
Lu Chengfeng and Gu Huaiyu were both stunned when they heard this. Their beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, and these people's performance was too strange. They were clearly very afraid of death, but they were all begging for death.
That's right, Gu Huaiyu finally understood why the city guard she killed showed a look of rejoicing before his death. He was seeking death, and he felt rejoicing because he got what he wanted.
But while solving this doubt, they had even greater doubts in their hearts. Why seek death? They had no intention of killing at all.
"Why are you begging for death?" Lu Chengfeng asked.
The city guard said, "The person killed by the two immortals is the only son of our Jade Water City Lord. If he dies, we can only be buried with him."
"You can escape like those people just now. We don't plan to kill you," Gu Huaiyu sheathed Little Black, indicating that they could escape now.
But these city guards looked at each other, and none of them planned to escape.
"If you don't leave, are you going to wait for death?" Gu Huaiyu frowned. Why were these people so stubborn?
"If we escape, what about our families and sects?" At this time, someone said with a bitter face.
Gu Huaiyu opened her mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say.
Lu Chengfeng heard this and said, "Do you mean that if you run away, the Jade Water City Lord will hold your families or sects accountable?"
"If it's just accountability, that's fine…"
"Does he want to destroy your families and sects?" Gu Huaiyu said in surprise.
The city guards didn't speak, but Gu Huaiyu could get the answer from their expressions.
"Two immortals, you should quickly give us a quick death, and then escape quickly. The City Lord's cultivation is unfathomable, and he is among the best even in the Heavenly Pool Ancient Star. Even those powerful challengers are not necessarily his opponents."
"Yes, two immortals, give us a quick death!"
These city guards' cultivations had been sealed by them, and they couldn't even commit suicide. They could only beg the two women to take action as soon as possible and give them a quick death.
"Heavenly Pool Ancient Star?"
Gu Huaiyu and Lu Chengfeng looked at each other. They suddenly realized that the teleportation destination was wrong.
"Rumble!"
Without giving them time to think, a majestic aura emanated from the depths of Jade Water City, and the sky changed color.
"Is it the City Lord?"
"Isn't he in seclusion seeking a breakthrough to the Great Saint realm? Why did he suddenly come out of seclusion?"
"Could it be that he succeeded and is now out of seclusion to undergo tribulation?"
Under this incomparably powerful aura, the creatures in Jade Water City suddenly felt an extremely huge pressure, a pressure that made it difficult for them to breathe.
"It's over!"
"It's too late!"
"If the City Lord sees that we are still alive, he will definitely vent his anger on our families and sects."
And those city guards' faces changed drastically, their eyes filled with despair and fear.
"Who is it that killed my son?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man appeared in the sky above the city gate. He was the Jade Water City Lord, Zhang Wutian!
At this time, Zhang Wutian's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of anger as he looked at Zhang Tianheng, whose head and body were separated. With a wave of his big hand, the corpse and head appeared in front of him, and he used his powerful force to connect the head and corpse together.
"Heng'er…" Zhang Wutian reached out and touched Zhang Tianheng's face, which was still warm.
"Ah…"
After confirming that Zhang Tianheng was completely dead, Zhang Wutian roared to the sky, like an ancient beast, his aura magnificent, shaking the stars and moon in the sky.
Zhang Tianheng is dead?
When the creatures in Jade Water City received this news, their hearts immediately shook, their hairs stood on end, and under Zhang Wutian's majestic aura, they only felt their souls trembling, almost collapsing.
They all knew that Jade Water City was going to change, and no one knew better than them how doting Zhang Wutian was on Zhang Tianheng, a kind of almost perverted doting.
Zhang Tianheng was an out-and-out纨绔(wánkù - good-for-nothing) son, greedy for women, playing with life, and doing all kinds of evil. Even a hundred years ago, he took a fancy to a female cultivator with the cultivation of a saint. After Zhang Wutian learned about it, he personally captured the female cultivator, placed a seal on her, and allowed Zhang Tianheng to play with her.
In the end, the female cultivator couldn't bear the humiliation and had already passed away.
Unfortunately, the female saint cultivator was the Dao companion of the Island Master of Clear Water Island. The Island Master of Clear Water Island was a Saint King powerhouse. After learning about his Dao companion's experience, he personally came to the door, but in the end, Zhang Wutian was slightly better and defeated the Island Master of Clear Water Island.
Since then, Clear Water Island and Jade Water City became enemies.
And with Zhang Wutian's protection, Zhang Tianheng became even more lawless. Anyone who offended him or was targeted by him was given the crime of Clear Water Island thief, and he harmed countless women in the past hundred years.
Now that Zhang Tianheng is dead, it would be strange if Zhang Wutian didn't go crazy.
