Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 1123 - If one tries to escape, kill one

It was Ye Qingyu's first time hearing this.

Capture slaves?

These black-haired Dark Ones were treated as slaves, and the sick, old and weak as food. This sort of thing would only happen in the most foolish and backward domain in the world. It was simply a dark history of the intelligent creatures, but these high and mighty Guardians had actually done this sort of thing?

"Lord, what do we do?" Eleven asked.

Ye Qingyu scrunched his brows together, "Let's take a look first."

"Yes." Eleven made no more movements.

At this moment, the two figures coming down from the black airship were evidently the leaders. Under the escort of the soldiers of the military camp, they came to a small dirt field. One was a middle-aged man in silk robes with no official title, and the other was a burly general, with sword-like brows and a fierce-looking face.

"Who is the village chief?" The middle-aged man wore an indifferent expression, his eyes swept over the shivering villagers who had gathered in the small dirt field, like he was looking at a group of animals.

Chen Sheng came over with a smiling face, bowing repeatedly as he asked politely, "Lord, I am. I wonder what is the reason for honourable Lord to come to Bitter Hill Village?"

"Who is the culprit that killed the pet beasts of the City Lord's residence?" The middle-aged man stared at Chen Sheng piercingly, "Speak."

Chen Sheng's body quivered inwardly when he heard these words.

As expected, they were here because of the death of the pet beasts.

He bit his teeth, "Lord, I do not know what you are talking about, the pet beasts have not come to our Bitter Hill Village today, I..."

Bang!

The middle-aged man lashed out with a kick, breaking one side of Chen Sheng's shoulder. His skin ruptured and blood splattered; half of his body was almost broken. "I will give you one more chance, speak."

Chen Sheng had almost lost consciousness from the pain.

Although he was relatively strong amongst the black-haired Dark Ones, he had never practiced martial arts before, and adding to this, he was malnourished, thus this kind of injury was equal to taking away most of his life. His mouth was wide open, spurting out jets of blood, arms and legs were shivering and twitching from pain, and sweat had soaked on his forehead.

"Lord, I..." Chen Sheng felt everything had darkened in front of him, and almost could not withstand any longer.

"He..." A young woman in a linen robe rushed out from the crowd, and tightly held Chen Sheng in her arms. It was his wife. Seeing her husband being seriously wounded was the same as watching the sky collapse in front of her. Her heart almost stood still with fright and she wept uncontrollably.

"Daddy, daddy..." a five- or six-year-old girl broke free from the people pulling her back, rushed out and sobbed helplessly.

"Speak, who killed the pet beasts? Where did it go?" The middle-aged man in silk robes was Shao Xuzheng, who simply did not care about the lives of these ordinary people, and only wanted to catch the culprit to report back to the young City Lord.

"Haha..." Chen Sheng miraculously restored a little consciousness, but only bitterly smiled without opening his mouth.

His wife wanted to say something, but stopped when he gushed out a large mouthful of blood, saying: "No... can't say... I... us black-haired Dark Ones, although... although we are lowly citizens, but... still we keep to our promises... cough..." Blood and flesh spewed out of his mouth.

"Ah ah ah, daddy, daddy, are you okay? Daddy..." The daughter wept in a panic, holding Chen Sheng's hand tightly.

Shao Xuzheng was surprisingly not angry, instead smiled in response to this scene. "Well, a group of lowly ordinary citizens dare to say that to me here. Very good, I want see how hard your bones bone... Somebody, chop this little thing into minced meat."

He was pointing to the little girl.

Immediately there were soldiers of the military camp pulling out their swords.

"Daddy..." Terror-stricken, the little girl shrank into her mother and father's arms.

"No..." The young wife desperately screamed and struggled.

"One last chance, are you speaking or not?" Shao Xuzheng looked at Chen Sheng, and then his eyes turned to the other villagers. "And you guys, as long as you say who it is, I can spare your life today, otherwise, your Bitter Hill Village will be washed with blood."

There was a commotion among the villagers.

Someone opened his mouth to say something, but was pulled back by the people next to him.

Chen Sheng had a bit of prestige among the villagers, and usually took good care of the them. He was known to be righteous and fair, and in such a difficult environment the black-haired Dark Ones were extremely united. After a moment of hesitation, unexpectedly no one came forward to speak.

"Fine, kill." Shao Xuzheng gritted his teeth.

Chen Sheng closed his eyes in pain.

There were flashes of knives.

Pu!

Blood splashed.

"Ah..." The sound of a strange scream.

But everyone was stunned.

Because it was not the little girl who screamed out, but the soldier of the military camp with the blade. His arm that was gripped around a small blade was severed from the shoulder, fell to the ground, and blood jetted everywhere...

The little girl, on the other hand, was unscathed.

What happened?

Shao Xuzheng was bewildered.

Yao Xin, the chief of the patrol guards, also knitted his brows. His gaze swept across, eyes twinkling with fierce light, as he said in a low voice, "Who was it that secretly attacked? Since you are here, please show up and don't sneak around in the dark."

The ripples of the void flickered.

Ye Qingyu emerged from the ripples.

Followed by Eleven and Zhen Wanting.

In the distant crowd, Zhen Wanting's mother immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this scene. She had searched everywhere for her daughter and was afraid that she had met with an accident. Now she finally felt at ease.

"Who are you?" Shao Xuzheng's eyes fell on Ye Qingyu, his pupils shrinking. He could tell with one glance that the tall and burly young man who was shrouded in flames was a martial arts expert.

Ye Qingyu did not answer, but arrived next to Chen Sheng, who was already at his last breath. A blue-green brilliance flashed out, pouring into his body.

In less than one second, the originally seriously injured and dying Chen Sheng had immediately recovered and became much stronger than before. His many illnesses and conditions had vanishes without a trace, and he was left feeling a hundred times more energetic than before, as though he had gained extraordinary strength.

"Lord, thank you, Lord, thank you..." Chen Sheng bowed his head with great gratitude.

His wife was also deeply grateful.

The little girl said in a sweet voice, "Thank you uncle for saving my father, when Huan'er is older I want to marry uncle..."

A child's words carry no harm. Ye Qingyu smiled amusingly.

This may be the best way the little girl thought of to repay him.

"Who are you?" Shao Xuzheng's voice grew increasingly cold. Glowering at Ye Qingyu he warned, "You may be strong, but I advise you to not make a mistake. We are the guards of the Central City of the Luoshen Ridge, and not people that you wandering martial artists should anger. Hurry and report your name."

It was only then that Ye Qingyu turned around to look at him, "Me? I'm the one you're looking for."

"You... you killed the pet beasts of the City Lord's residence?" Even if Shao Xuzheng was a fool, he would also understand.

However, from the way that Ye Qingyu had so frankly admitted to it, and that he seemed to have no intention of leaving Bitter Hill Village after killing the pet beasts and looked more like he was waiting for them to trace him down, made Shao Xuxaheng increase his vigilance.

"Those human-eating beasts, so what if they are killed? They should have died thousands of times long ago," Ye Qingyu said indifferently.

Then he turned to say to Chen Sheng, "Give peaches in return for peaches, in the future I will protect this Bitter Hill Village, no one can touch you guys."

Chen Sheng's face lit up with joy.

The villagers in the distance also cheered in a low voice.

"Hahahahaha..." Yao Xin, the chief of the military camp, suddenly broke into cold laughter, as though he had heard the most ridiculous joke. "This is really the biggest joke I have ever heard. Who are you, how dare you say such arrogant nonsense, you want to shelter the village under the rule of the Luoshen Ridge? You are unable to even save yourself, let alone others!"

Ye Qingyu looked at him, a glint of contempt and ridicule in his eyes.

"I advise you to admit defeat, do not make futile struggles. If you are willing to surrender, then I can let the lowly citizens of the Bitter Hill Village go. Otherwise, when you die, these lowly citizens will have to be buried because of your foolish behaviour." Shao Xuzheng's eyes flashed a sinister gleam.

Ye Qingyu looked at him contemptuously, "One's appearance reveals one's heart. You are so hideous and sinister looking, you must be a sinister, venomous snake. Do you think I will believe what you say... Haha, what status do you have in the City Lord residence?"

"I am the third housekeeper in the City Lord's residence." Shao Xuzheng fumed. "What? Am I still not qualified to talk to you?"

Ye Qingyu lightly nodded, and then cast a glance at Yao Xin, "What about you?"

"This is Chief Yao Xin of the Central City military camp of my Luoshen Ridge. Haha, Chief Yao had personally come, what else do you have to say?"

When this came out, the villagers of Bitter Hill Village, including Chen Sheng, suddenly had an abrupt change of expression. Both of them were real influential people in Central City. Such terrifying figures had appeared... what should they do?

Who would have thought that at this moment Ye Qingyu shook his head and sighed, "I've waited half a day, but only two trash had come, what a disappointment... you..." He pointed to Shao Xuzheng, "Since you are the housekeeper of the City Lord's residence you must be able to see Zhang Longcheng easily, tell him to come see me in Bitter Hill Village."

"Haha, arrogant, what are you, you dare make such arrogant requests..." Yao Xin laughed disdainfully.

Ye Qingyu shook his head, "Kill him."

Behind him, Eleven also quivered when he heard this. But he did not dare to have the slightest hesitation. Immediately, a beam of sword light burst forth from his hands.

Boom!

Before Yao Xin, who was howling with laughter, could react, the sword had already severed him into blood mist and disappeared into the air. Not even a trace of flesh and blood was left behind.

At this time, the sound of sword light piercing the air could be heard.

In an instant, the whole dirt field fell utterly silent.

The countless soldiers of the military camp were staring at the scene in wide-eyed disbelief.

Shao Xuzheng opened his mouth, subconsciously wanted to say something, but his mind had gone blank.

Chief Yao had been killed?

He was killed like that?

It happened so suddenly, without the slightest warning or sign.

Shao Xuzheng trembled all over.

He finally understood what sort of existence he had provoked tonight. Even a servant of his could kill one of the top ten masters of Central City of Luoshen Ridge like slaughtering a chicken, then how powerful would the master be?

"You... you..." Shao Xuzheng wanted to turn around and run away.

Ye Qingyu smiled faintly, "If one tries to escape, kill one, if a pair tries to escape, kill a pair. You guys aren't any good people anyway... Now, you can go find Zhang Longcheng for me, right?"

He was looking at Shao Xuzheng——
