“You’re really a bunch of beasts.” Zhou Shu looked at the villagers lying in pools of blood, and killing intent flashed across his eyes.
Although he didn’t have much interaction with these villagers, when he lived in Boundary Bridge Village, many villagers had sent food to Peng Jiuyuan’s house. Zhou Shu could still feel their kindness.
Although Zhou Shu wasn’t the a.s.sa.s.sin who had a.s.sa.s.sinated the head of the Dong family, he couldn’t avoid some responsibility for these villagers’ suffering.
“Shameless boasting. In a while, I’ll let you know our methods. At that time, let’s see if you can still scold us!” the knights shouted with ferocious expressions.
Several mutated beasts dug their hooves at the same time, ready to pounce on Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu glanced at Peng Jiuyuan, who was tied up by the knights, then at Cao Yue, who was among the surviving villagers.
“Cao Yue, do you want revenge?” Zhou Shu suddenly said.
Cao Yue raised his head and looked at Zhou Shu. “Yes! I want to kill these beasts. What right do they have to kill us?!”
Cao Yue seemed to be using all his strength to shout.
“In that case, let’s kill them all,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. With a flick of his finger, a light flew hundreds of feet and accurately landed between Cao Yue’s eyebrows.
The leading knight suddenly had a bad feeling. He shouted, “Stop him!”
He drove his mutated beast and pounced at Zhou Shu.
The other knights also reacted. They erupted with their auras and thrust their
spears at Zhou Shu.
Boom!
There was a loud bang and a dazzling light that made the village chief and the surviving villagers close their eyes.
After a few breaths, they opened their eyes again. The scene in front of them stunned everyone.
A thin figure appeared in front of Zhou Shu.
The thin figure covered his head with his hands. The knights’ spears stabbed him, but they failed to pierce his skin.
“Little Yue?” the village chief muttered.
He had watched Cao Yue grow up. He had never known that Cao Yue had such ability.
The knights of the Dong family all stared at Cao Yue solemnly.
They hadn’t held back in the attack just now, but when the spears stabbed Cao Yue’s body, it was as if they had stabbed steel.
This young man who was panicking just now was actually an expert?
Cao Yue raised his head, his eyes red. “Uncle Qingsong, Uncle Dashan, Uncle Erniu…”
Cao Yue gritted his teeth. “I’m going to avenge you!”
Cao Yue roared and pounced at the knights.
Boom!
An unbelievable power erupted from Cao Yue’s small frame.
His feet dug two deep pits, and he threw himself in front of a knight like an arrow released from a bow.
With a loud bang, Cao Yue’s small fist struck the shaft of the knight’s spear.
Cao Yue’s punch bent the steel spear shaft, and the immense force sent the knight flying from the back of the mutated beast.
Everyone was stunned.
This turn of events was completely beyond everyone’s imagination.
“Kill him!” the Dong family knights shouted.
They couldn’t care less about Zhou Shu and attacked Cao Yue at the same time. Cao Yue was like an agile monkey as he shuttled between the knights and attacked them from time to time.
Zhou Shu shook his head slightly. Although Cao Yue had the power of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art equivalent to half of Zhou Shu’s realm, he had too little combat experience.
If it were Zhou Shu, even with the same strength, he would have long dealt with these knights.
How powerful was Zhou Shu?
The power of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art equivalent to half of his realm was definitely something a few mere Earth Immortals couldn’t compare to.
Fortunately, Cao Yue had the courage of a young man. Because of the tragic deaths of the villagers, he hated these knights to the core. So although he didn’t have enough combat experience, he was still able to fight these knights to a standstill and even had the upper hand.
Zhou Shu walked up to the village chief of Boundary Bridge Village.
“I’m sorry, Village Chief.” Zhou Shu cupped his hands.
The surviving villagers of Boundary Bridge Village looked at Zhou Shu warily. Some of them even looked angry.
On the other hand, the village chief stopped the villagers.
He stared at Zhou Shu and said in a low voice, “Are you really the a.s.sa.s.sin who tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate the head of the Dong family?”
“Would you believe me if I said I wasn’t, Village Chief?” Zhou Shu said seriously.
The village chief stared at Zhou Shu. After a while, he said in a low voice, “I believe that there’s no need for you to lie to me at this time. Since you’re not the a.s.sa.s.sin, you can’t be blamed for what happened today.
“It’s these people. They’re cruel and heartless! Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. It’s them we should hate. It has nothing to do with you.”
Zhou Shu looked at the village chief in surprise. He didn’t expect the village chief of this remote mountain village to have such a bearing.
Zhou Shu looked at the village chief and said in a low voice, “I’m afraid it will be very difficult for Cao Yue to kill them all by himself. If any of them escape, it will probably bring a calamity for Boundary Bridge Village.”
“We are powerless,” the village chief said. As he spoke, he clutched his chest and coughed. The blood at the corner of his mouth was even more obvious.
“No, as long as you have the heart, it’s enough.”
As Zhou Shu spoke, he flicked his finger again, and a light landed between the village chief’s eyebrows. “I may not have killed the villagers, but the villagers died because of me.’
Zhou Shu said gravely. “I’ll lend you my strength. Village Chief, please avenge everyone.”
Boom!
A powerful aura rose from the village chief’s body. His face was full of shock, and the power rolling from his body made him feel like he could shatter a mountain.
Although he didn’t understand what Zhou Shu was talking about, he understood the last sentence.
Looking back at the corpses all over the ground, the village chief didn’t hesitate at all.
He let out a long cry. “If you don’t treat us as members of the Dong family, then I won’t treat you as my clansmen today! Die, all of you beasts!”
The village chief shouted and charged at the knights.
Boom!
In an instant, the village chief was already fighting with the knights. The loud
sounds echoed in the mountains..
