Donât bother sparing anyone?
Those words shocked not just the crowd but Lord Yuwei as well. Those were their brethren, but Chu Feng wanted to kill all of them?
Shoosh!
While the crowd was still processing the situation, the Asura World Spirit Army had begun their slaughter. By the time the crowd finally registered the situation, those people had already been reduced to corpses.
Countless mutilated body parts fell from the sky with splashes of blood like torrential rain. It was a scene of absolute cruelty.
Those present here were cultivators who had grown accustomed to violence, but this appalling sight still left them paling in horror. Many vomited and even passed out.
As frightening as the guards were, they were still living beings.
Tens of millions of people were killed in the blink of an eye. It was hard for an ordinary person to stomach such violence. Furthermore, a million of them had been friends or acquaintances they had interacted with over their many years of incarceration.
Nothing could have shown the terror of the Asura World Spirit Army as vividly as this.
However, what the crowd feared the most wasnât the Asura World Spirit Army nor the Asura King, but the young man who commanded them.
Chu Feng didnât have a vicious appearance, but he was the one who issued the order for the massacre. Despite being the mastermind behind this tragedy, there was not the slightest change in his expression. It was almost as if he had only stomped ants he felt nothing for.
Not a single person dared to say a word, including Lord Bai and Lord Yuwei despite being on closer terms with him.
The atmosphere grew a little peculiar.
However, Chu Feng was unbothered by it. He had long gotten accustomed to such a reaction.
âI remember that they arenât the only ones who have insulted Elder Yuwei earlier?â Chu Feng muttered as he cast his gaze into the crowd.
Many people had insulted Lord Yuwei earlier, and Chu Feng had imprinted each and every one of their faces to his memory.
âMilord, do we kill the rest of them too?â the Asura King asked while holding the head of the leader of the guards in his hand.
Klang!
The Asura World Spirit Army brandished their swords in response to the Asura Kingâs words. They were prepared to launch a second round of massacre the moment Chu Feng gave the word.
âMilord, spare us! Please, spare us! We have done wrong, but we were forced into it! Those arenât our true feelings!â
Those who had insulted Lord Yuwei or displayed reluctance at her leadership immediately fell to their knees and kowtowed to Chu Feng for forgiveness. In fact, water started spraying down to the ground.
They had peed their pants.
However, no one could blame them for that after witnessing the cruelty Chu Feng was capable of. It was impossible to remain calm when faced with such a terrifying demon.
âThe person you should be kneeling to isnât me,â Chu Feng said.
The crowd caught Chu Fengâs drift and turned to beg Lord Yuwei for mercy.
âDo you expect to get off with just a bit of begging? Slap yourselves. Iâll take your lives if you donât slap yourselves silly,â Chu Feng ordered.
His words were spoken in a composed fashion, but the hostility in his words demanded obedience.
Pah pah pah!
Loud slapping sounds echoed in the air. Those who didnât know better would have thought that someone had set off firecrackers.
The crowd slapped themselves with such force that it didnât take long for their skin to tear, baring their flesh.
Unable to bear the sight any longer, Lord Yuwei stepped forward and spoke on their behalf, âLittle young master, forget it.â
âElder Yuwei, have you forgotten how they treated you earlier?â Chu Feng asked.
âForget it, itâs just words. They didnât do anything to me,â Lord Yuwei said.
âItâs just words? Itâs only words because your cultivation is higher than theirs. If not for that, do you think that it would have ended with just words? If the leader of the guards were to hold you down and order them to turn their blades on you, they would have unhesitatingly plunged their blades into you!â Chu Feng said.
ââ¦â
Lord Yuwei didnât say a word. She didnât know whether those people would really do that or not.
âEven if you can tolerate those people, I canât,â Chu Feng said.
âLittle young master, I know that youâre doing this for me, but these people have been with me for many years. I beg you to spare them on my account!â Lord Yuwei said.
âItâs on your account that they arenât corpses now. Elder Yuwei, I am not a person completely devoid of kindness, but I only show them to people who are worthy of it. I hope that you can reconsider whether these people are truly worth your kindness or not,â Chu Feng said.
He then turned to the crowd and said, âContinue hitting yourself. Iâd like to see who dares to stop until I give the order!â
Those people struck themselves harder than ever, fearing that Chu Feng would really take their lives. To them, this was a much better alternative than dying.
Lord Yuwei decided to back down and allow Chu Feng to do as he wished after hearing those words.
Meanwhile, Chu Feng turned his attention toward the ancient tower.
âLord Yuwei, Lord Bai, wait out here for me.â
After saying those words, Chu Feng began leading the Asura World Spirit Army toward the ancient tower.
âLittle young master, what are you planning to do?â Lord Yuwei asked in shock.
She didnât approve of Chu Feng punishing the others in such a vicious manner, but she was still concerned about his safety.
âIâll go meet the Night Monarch,â Chu Feng said.
âIâll accompany you,â Lord Yuwei said.
âElder Yuwei, you should stay here. Itâs unlikely that youâll be of help to me, and Iâll only be worried for your safety if you come with me,â Chu Feng said.
Lord Yuwei could only back down when Chu Feng had already put it out in such a straightforward manner. She wanted to accompany Chu Feng to help him, but it would be meaningless if she was only a burden to him.
So, she could only say, âLittle young master, you must be careful.â
âDonât worry, Elder Yuwei. I know what Iâm doing.â
Chu Feng began making his way toward the ancient tower. It wasnât locked, so he was able to push the door open and enter without an issue.
