Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 594 – Vicious

An Zheng’s eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and a wave of anger started to hurt from the bottom of his heart, as though it was burning all the way to the sky. He and Bai Tong had not even separated for two days when Bai Tong’s head was chopped off and thrown to his carriage.

An Zheng’s body swept up onto the roof of the car. Standing on the roof and looking around, there was nothing. There were crops on one side of the road, and they had just finished harvesting, so he could see very far ahead. There was a small forest on the other side, so the only possibility was that the head had been thrown from the other side.

Just as An Zheng was about to rush over, he suddenly remembered something and opened the Blood Pearl Bracelet, sucking in Lan Xi and Hong Luan. Those two girls were not even in the carriage before they knew what had happened.

An Zheng rushed towards the direction of the forest, and just as he reached the edge of the forest, a burst of energy shot towards him. If An Zheng’s reaction was slightly slower, this force would have directly pierced through his chest.

While An Zheng was running at full speed, he tilted to the side and the force brushed past An Zheng’s body. With a bang, it struck the horse carriage not far away and shattered it into pieces.

If An Zheng had not brought Lan Xi and the Red Luan out of the carriage, the two girls would have been torn to pieces along with the carriage. The anger in An Zheng’s heart flared up, and he rushed towards the direction of the Qi Qi Qi Qi.

Faintly, a shadow flashed behind a big tree, followed by another surge of Qi. An Zheng flicked his finger, and a strand of Spirit Qi met it head on, and with a clang, the Spirit Qi that was shooting towards him was destroyed. Two streams of energy shot out to the left and right, directly chopping down four to five large trees.

An Zheng flew up and landed a palm strike onto the ground between two trees. The vast power of the Orthodox Pure Yang directly burnt the two trees in front of him into ashes, and the moment the force fell, An Zheng’s expression changed drastically as he forcefully retracted the power of the Orthodox Pure Yang.

Behind the two destroyed trees waock as tall as a man, and Luo Hongshui was nailed to that rock. Her clothes were all ripped off, and her almost perfect body simply appeared in front of An Zheng. She was clearly on the verge of death. Although no injuries could be seen on her body, her vitality was already very weak.

Someone had nailed steel spikes to her four limbs, nailing them directly to a large stone. Blood flowed down along her fair body, shocking everyone who saw it.

If An Zheng did not retrieve the Cultivation Power in time, that palm strike just now would have killed Luo Hongshui. An Zheng’s speed was already very fast, but there were still a few strands of strong wind that swept past. One of them cut off a few strands of Luo Hongshui’s hair, while the other scraped a line of blood off her arm.

An Zheng landed and went straight for Luo Hongshui. As he reached to pull the nails, a sword suddenly appeared from behind him. If An Zheng dodged it, that sword would definitely stab Luo Hongshui to death.

An Zheng felt the sharp aura from behind him and his eyes turned cold. He originally wanted to pull the steel nail off Luo Hongshui’s arm, but halfway through, he changed his palm and struck out with his palm straight at his chest.

Under the huge force, Luo Hongshui was sent flying along with the huge rock behind her.

At the same time, An Zheng forcibly twisted his body, raised the Broken Army Sword up with his right hand, and slashed downwards from the back towards the top. With a clang, the sword that had been thrusting towards his back was cut in half. An Zheng’s sword energy extended outwards, and went straight ahead. Everywhere it passed, a few large trees were sliced apart at the same time.

Strangely, Luo Hongshui who was sent flying by An Zheng’s palm attack was actually fine. After the violent palm attack pierced through Luo Hongshui’s body, it exploded right behind his. The palm attack directly shattered the huge rock behind Luo Hongshui. Shattered rocks flew out like bullets, knocking away all the trees and wood in the surroundings.

An Zheng’s Broken Army Sword moved up diagonally and cut off the sword that was approaching from behind. But when An Zheng turned around, he realized that the person who had ambushed him was the bearded man.

“What are you doing!”

An Zheng roared.

The bearded man’s face was very pale, his body was covered in blood, and his eyes were filled with grief and indignation. It was only then that An Zheng noticed, although he was holding onto the sword, that his four limbs were maintaining an extremely strange posture.

A second later, An Zheng finally found the problem.

The bearded man’s four limbs were all broken, and he was wearing several steel nails on his arms and legs. On the nails, there was an extremely thin, transparent thread. If one had bad eyes, they would not notice the existence of those threads at all.

The bearded man was like a marionette, losing all control over his body. The nails were accurately nailed into the joints and muscles of the bearded man’s four limbs, and witwitch of the thread, he did the same.

This was all part of his plan. If it wasn’t for An Zheng’s years of experience in investigating cases and his habit of observing the details, both Luo Hongshui and the bearded man would have been killed by him.

The other party’s intentions were sinister because they wanted An Zheng to accidentally kill the two of them.

And Bai Tong was the bait.

This person had already taken control of three people, practically crippling Luo Hongshui’s cultivation, and then nailed her onto a big rock. Cut off Bai Tong’s head and throw it towards An Zheng, attracting his attention. If An Zheng hadn’t brought Lan Xi and Hong Luan with him, the person behind him would have definitely killed the two of them.

And if An Zheng was not careful, it was possible for him to personally kill his friend.

It had been a very, very long time since An Zheng had met someone with such vicious intentions. Generally speaking, no matter how deep the grudges in the martial arts world were, they would not do such a crazy thing. If there was revenge, then there would be murder. However, defeating his opponent and then tormenting him like this wasn’t something a normal person could do.

“Break!”

An Zheng’s Broken Army Sword swept across, sweeping towards those threads.

But when the Broken Army Sword almost touched that thread, with a distance of not even one millimeter, An Zheng’s hand abruptly stopped. He saw that the thin threads were not only connected to the bearded man’s body, but also extended to his back. While An Zheng dodged the bearded man’s attack, he took the chance to circle behind him. Only then did he realise that the bearded man’s back was actually carved with a knife into the rune array.

On the man’s back, he cut open his spine and forced in a Golden-Rank Spirit Stone. If An Zheng had cut the line just now, then the Rune Circle would have been activated. This Golden-Rank Spirit Stone would explode, regardless of whether he could kill An Zheng, at the very least, he would explode the bearded man to pieces.

An Zheng’s Broken Army Sword stabbed forward, accurately piercing into the bearded man’s back. With a slight movement of the sword tip, the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone was picked out from his back, and with a sweep of the sword, all the threads connected to it were cut. He pulled the bearded man over and stored him in a separate space tool. He did not dare to put the bearded man and the Blue Tide Red Luan together. Otherwise, no one would know if the bearded man had any other tricks up his sleeve.

An Zheng kept his sideburns, and then rushed over with big steps, wanting to save Luo Hongshui. But at that moment, a tiny shadow appeared behind Luo Hongshui. The shadow was like an iron rod, only as thick as Luo Hongshui’s middle finger. With a “pu” sound, it pierced Luo Hongshui’s back.

In a split-second, the steel rod that had pierced Luo Hongshui’s back suddenly opened like an octopus, and seven to eight small iron rods sprang out, piercing through her body. It was as if a new skeleton had appeared in her body. Luo Hongshui’s body looked extremely distorted as she crawled on the ground like a spider.

From behind Luo Hongshui, many thin threads flew out into the air from the position of the iron rod. Then, Luo Hongshui turned into a new puppet. She looked at An Zheng in pain, but couldn’t speak. The iron rod that stabbed into her body replaced her bones and began to take control of her body.

“Maybe you think that would strike me.”

An Zheng consecutively retreated behind Luo Hanyi’s attack, and then, his body swept upwards like a sword. The sword beam from the Broken Army Sword’s tail flame like tail flame instantly extended dozens of meters out and cut off the tops of the trees in the surrounding area.

“Then you’re wrong. Doing this would only make me calmer, make me think of all kinds of ways to find you and then return the pain they suffered back to you.”

In the distance, there were shadows of people flashing by. Their speed was incredibly fast. It seemed that the person was not very big, just like a child.

Just as An Zheng was about to give chase, a soft moan suddenly sounded out beside his ears. That voice seemed to have directly appeared in An Zheng’s mind. That voice was extremely sweet, enough to make one’s bones soften.

But right after, there was a clang sound as it appeared in An Zheng’s mind, and all of the blood in An Zheng’s body seemed to tremble a little as well.

It was the zither music.

The sound of the zither began to ring out, as if it were a golden spear or an iron horse, or a battlefield battle.

The waves of zither music were like a great wave, surging over in an earth-shattering fashion. An Zheng’s thirty Holy Fish Scale s suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking him as a wave of sound swept over. The huge tree surrounding An Zheng was smashed into pieces by the sound wave in an instant. There seemed to be nothing left in this world, only the sound of the zither. Within the chilling murderous aura, a chilling aura permeated the air.

With An Zheng at the center, the sound wave came from all directions, and wherever it passed, the forest collapsed one by one. As for those seemingly intact trees, after they fell down, they shattered into pieces, turning into a small piece the size of a fist. The cut was smooth, even smoother than the sword.

Endless sound waves, like an endless tide, struck towards An Zheng. The clanging sounds outside An Zheng’s Holy Fish Scale rang continuously, and amidst the sparks flying in all directions, An Zheng’s body seemed to be locked in place. That was because the sound waves from all directions were too dense, and under the collisions, An Zheng was locked in place.

An Zheng frowned, his Heaven’s Eyes separated from his body and soared into the sky, quickly reaching the top of the forest.

But he still did not see anything. An Zheng pointed upwards with his finger, and his Heaven’s Eyes continued to rise, all the way until they were abovundred meters. Looking around, he saw that the road was still flat and wide. The forest had been destroyed to the point that it seemed like it had been razed to the ground. If someone was nearby, they would definitely be able to find it.

However, after looking around, he still couldn’t find anything.

An Zheng snorted, he suddenly thrusted the sword under his feet!

The Broken Army Sword pierced the ground, and the tens of metres long sword light pierced into the earth, following which a female groan came from underground.
