Chapter 1268: Chapter 1278: A Path Paved with Blood Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel fire.net Today is destined to be a feast of slaughter! The current Tang Zhong has completely entered a state of madness. At this moment, the others around him were all approaching. But Tang Zhong was not waiting for them to strike first; instead, he attacked preemptively, slashing down fiercely on the Water Guard with his sword. The power on the sword was immensely overwhelming! The Water Guard and others had just spaced out to ambush Tang Zhong but witnessed the scene, hurriedly raising their own swords to resist! However, Tang Zhong’s sword was more powerful! He directly broke the sword in the Water Guard’s hand. Then, the whole person was knocked flying backward! “Damn it, how could this happen!” The Water Guard Captain’s face was extremely ugly. His sword was actually broken, and he felt as though his whole body was about to split open, his blood boiling. Perhaps the force just now was too strong, making him feel like his blood vessels were about to explode! But Tang Zhong didn’t give him any time to think. He moved forward again, sword in hand, stomping forward! “What are you trying to do?” The Water Guard Captain’s face was extremely ugly. Such a fierce attack—it was the first he had seen ; how was he supposed to resist? “Your life!” Tang Zhong roared. Then he unleashed a sweeping slash. The Water Guard had no chance to resist; a glint of sword light flickered in his eyes. “No…” The Water Guard Captain shouted. But in the next second, his voice stopped abruptly. It was seen that as the sword cut over, the Water Guard Captain was directly split in two, blood spraying all around! The people around trembled upon seeing this scene. Everyone here knew who the decapitated man was. He was a participant in the Inner Guard assessment from the Water Guard, and his strength was far from ordinary. Yet, now he was killed with one sword strike, without even a chance to resist. Fear grew in their hearts, and they couldn’t even hold onto their weapons firmly as they slowly retreated! In the distance, Ren Yong, witnessing this scene, also felt some fear. In the Flame Demon Cave, he had learned of Tang Zhong’s power. When Tang Zhong wielded that sword, he seemed like the God of Slaughter, and now Ren Yong didn’t dare approach! But today, Tang Zhong must die! People around were retreating in fear! “Where do you think you’re going? Stand still!” Ren Yong shouted. Those people dared not run anymore. They turned to look at Ren Yong, faces grim: “Captain Ren, we are afraid!” “Afraid of what? Commander Jin sent you here to kill, not to be afraid. He’s just one person; what’s there to fear!” Ren Yong shouted. “You can’t beat him alone, then attack together!” Everyone swallowed hard. There is strength in numbers. The opponent is only one person! These words all fell into Tang Zhong’s ears, and he sneered coldly: “Many can bully an ordinary person, but to bully the Demon King, it’s not enough!” Tang Zhong attacked again, his heart’s rage fully igniting. On his arm holding the sword, a Thunderous Aura condensed! The sword tip scraped against the ground, then swept forward! The Thunderous Aura rubbed against the ground, sparking countless flashes! The people around didn’t know what Tang Zhong was planning, but suddenly, a rumbling sound emerged from under their feet. With a bang, the ground split open, and electrical arcs burst forth from beneath, striking directly onto their bodies. In an instant, more than a dozen people were knocked back! The confidence others had just built up now made them shiver in fear; they kept retreating! “I don’t want to fight anymore, I don’t want to fight anymore!” some people, drenched in cold sweat from fear, threw away their weapons and turned to flee! Ren Yong watched as his people were knocked away, his heart trembling—if they all fled, how could he fight against Tang Zhong? He shouted immediately: “Everyone, stand still. If you flee, you’ll be dealt with according to military law!” But no one listened to him; truly, at this moment, they were scared stiff! Seeing his people so fearful of Tang Zhong made Ren Yong truly frustrated, viciously saying: “Are you afraid of that guy, but not afraid of me?” Still, no one paid him any mind! Ren Yong directly drew his weapon, killing one runner with a sword slash: “You’re afraid of him, but aren’t you afraid of me? I’m telling you, this time Commander Jin wants Tang Zhong dead. Who dares not comply? If you run, it’s a dead end!” Ren Yong no longer cared, initially saying everyone should kill Tang Zhong together and remain undiscovered, but now it seemed hopeless—since it’s exposed, let it be exposed. After all, they were all his people! The people around stood still, afraid to escape! “Now, I command everyone, attack, kill Tang Zhong. As long as Tang Zhong is dead, promotions and riches await, and I will reward you handsomely!” The Gold Guards turned to look at Tang Zhong. Someone shouted: “We don’t want to die, so let’s kill this Tang Zhong together!” “Right, once he’s dead, there’s nothing to worry about!” Tang Zhong didn’t want to say much! Holding his sword, he slowly walked towards the Decayed Temple ahead! When someone charged at him from the front, Tang Zhong slaughtered his way through. He was like a God of Slaughter, his blade piercing through their chests, directly beheading some! Blood sprayed everywhere, and there were over a hundred people besieging Tang Zhong. They attacked simultaneously, but facing Tang Zhong, they were like waste! The path was only one of slaughter for Tang Zhong; wherever he went, a road of blood was paved! Of the hundreds, some were sliced in half, others had their arms severed, and those at the very front had their throats slit! “Die!” A thunderous shout, like a storm. The hundreds were blasted away! Falling from the sky were bodies, arms, organs! Ren Yong, who was initially determined to kill Tang Zhong, stood dumbfounded at this moment: “This… how could this be possible!” The Water Guard Captain already dead, only the Fire and Wood Guards remained. Earlier, Ren Yong suggested ambushing Tang Zhong together, and they had come to help, but now they dared not even make a move, turning to flee! Those from the Gold Guard who had been repelled but not killed lay on the ground, no longer caring about anything, discarding their weapons and fleeing. Ren Yong was nothing, not even fit to carry shoes for this God of Slaughter. “Don’t kill us, don’t kill us!” Ren Yong saw people fleeing and was about to shout to stop them, but no one listened to him. More importantly, from among the crowd, Tang Zhong slowly walked forward.
