Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 228's. End of Battle
Seeing Zhang En walking towards them, the hearts of every Dragon Gate Domain Leader soared, the fear in their hearts clearly visible through their eyes.
Zhang En continued to slowly step closer to that group of Domain Leaders.
Heavy pressure enveloped the bodies of some Domain Leaders and forced their knees to kneel.
Suddenly, one of the Domain Leaders kneeled in salute to Zhang En, "The subordinate greeted the Dragon Gate Master, the invincible Sovereign!"
The other domain leaders were astonished, each staring foolishly at their comrades who had just kneeled down.
After a moment of hesitation, the other two Domain Leaders followed and kneeled in salute to Zhang En, "This branch greets the Dragon Gate Master, Unbeatable Ruler!"
More and more Domain Leaders followed like their other comrades, kneeling in salute to Zhang En. Although they were loyal to Chen Tianqi before, after all, humans were in essence afraid of death. Not to mention, Zhang En had already killed Chen Tianqi, they felt that right now it was better not to waste their lives for the already dead Chen Tianqi.
The most important point of all these events was that Zhang En had the Dragon Ring and had developed the Dragon Sword Technique. In accordance with the rules of the Dragon Gate, he was the legitimate successor as a current Absolute Sovereign of the Dragon Gate.
Every Dragon Gate Domain Leader kneeled in reverence, including Chen Tianqi's most loyal confidant, Gu Wen.
Gu Wen also slightly knelt down among the other Domain Leaders, with proper etiquette and paying respect to Zhang En, he said, but Zhang En's surprise attack made Gu Wen fly out of the kneeling group of Domain Leaders.
Zhang En's sudden attack frightened the other Domain Leaders.
“Zhang En, you!” Gu Wen climbed up from the ground, staring intently at Zhang En, he was shocked and furious at the same time.
"En Zhang? Zhang En quipped, “You think I don't know what you're trying to plan in your heart? Kneeling at me is just an act and showing off false loyalty. In your heart, you are planning how if after this you submit and join the Black Crow Sect, spying on me in the shadows and plotting how to kill me?”
Zhang En's spiritual power had increased tremendously, both the Ancient Puppet Control Art and the Soul Mandate had reached the fifth level. As long as the spiritual strength of others was weaker than him, Zhang En could read their minds.
Gu Wen's face flushed red upon hearing Zhang En's words. Showing his anger, Gu Wen shouted, "Zhang En, this is just your excuse, you know that I am Lord Chen's confidant, that's why you used such an excuse to kill me!"
Then he turned to look at the other Domain Leaders, trying to instigate them, “You all have seen it alone, even if we submit to Zhang En sincerely, he will still kill us anyway! It would be best if we fight him to find a way out!"
Not long after, the other three Domain Leaders stood up from the group after being persuaded by Gu Wen, glaring at Zhang En with furious eyes.
"Zhang En, you tried to kill our brother using unreasonable reasons. You are not worthy of being the Lord of the Dragon Gate!"
“That's right, you're not worth it!”
"We're going to fight you!"
The three began to attack Zhang En with deadly attacks.
Just as Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu were about to act, Zhang En's figure shot forward at lightning speed, and using the Buddha Tread Technique, six arms emerged from his back. The six arms attacked at the same time.
BOOOM!
Affected by Zhang En 's direct attack, the three Domain Leaders wailed in pain as their bodies were thrown backwards.
Watching the six arms emerge from Zhang En's back, all of the Domain Leaders were dumbfounded.
"What kind of a move is that?!" One of them exclaimed.
Zhang En walked towards Gu Wen and stopped right in front of him, but he did not directly kill him. Instead, he sealed the man's dantian, then a palm strike sent the Demonic Dragon Qi into Gu Wen's body.
Chen Tianqi had holy light energy and was not afraid of the corrosive effects of Dragon Qi entering his body, but this Gu Wen was not as lucky as him. Almost instantly, a desperate cry came from Gu Wen and rolled around on the ground as the Demonic Dragon Qi spread to every part of his body, what he felt back then was worse than a million ants gnawing at his flesh. As powerful as his strength was, he could not withstand this torture.
“Zhang, Zhang En, kill me, kill me!” Gu Wen pleaded with a stammering voice. With his sealed dantian, he was helpless and could not blow himself up, he could not die even if he wanted to kill himself.
"Kill you?" Zhang En sneered, "You have to admit to me that before, it was true that you were thinking of conspiring with the Black Crow Sect?"
This time, Gu Wen nodded his head in hesitation, "I-I confess that what you said is true, now kill me, kill me!" His face became paler as it endured the agonizing pain all over his insides. The three Domain Leaders who attacked Zhang En for swallowing Gu Wen's persuasion, their faces looked ugly hearing his confession.
"Kill you?" Zhang En's cold voice rang out, "Since you asked for it, I will fulfill your wish."
Gu Wen felt a sense of relief hearing Zhang En's reply. For him for now, death was the best path for him
In the next moment, the Toxic Corpse Beetle landed on Gu Wen's body and the black insect increasingly covered his entire body. Fear crept on his face and an even more terrifying scream than before tore his throat apart.
The remaining Domain Leaders grew even paler upon witnessing the ferocity of the Toxic Corpse Beetle, even the way they looked at Zhang En changed.
In their eyes, this Zhang En was a Death God who had come from hell. Initially, they had thought that Zhang En would make Gu Wen a quick and merciful death.
It didn't take long, Gu Wen's cries died down and completely stopped, while Zhang En looked at all the other Domain Leaders.
Not daring to stare at Zhang En directly, they all just lowered their heads.
Those Domain Leaders did not dare to move an inch from their positions and continued to bow their heads.
"Where did Chen Tianqi hold back the Dragon Gate Elders who did not support him?" Zhang En asked.
"Young Ruler, they're locked up behind a sea prison behind a mountain!" One of the Domain Leaders stepped forward, reporting to Zhang En in a respectful manner.
Zhang En nodded.
Then, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and the other Domain Leaders led the way and when they got there, they released all the Dragon Gate Elders imprisoned in the sea prison on the mountain behind the Dragon Gate Headquarters.
Nonetheless, by the time Zhang En brought these Elders out, many of them were subjected to unimaginable torture by Chen Tianqi and the Black Crow Sect, respectively, so that there were hardly any Elders whose bodies were still intact, some of their tongues had already been cut off, some of them had their eyeballs removed.
Seeing the tragic state of these Elders, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and Zhang En all burned with anger.
"Li Molin, you stinky fat pel4cur, there will be days when I torture you with my own hands, I will have you raped and then dead, after your death, you will be raped again!" Zhang Fu's usual calm character could no longer hold back the anger in his heart and shouted with all his might. His current level of wrath was clearly visible to everyone.
Zhang En then took out a ten thousand year old elixir from within his spatial ring, giving it to the Elders one by one and helping them heal their wounds. Even so, some of the Elders whose tongues had been cut off and whose eyeballs had already been taken away, that part of the body could not grow back.
•••
After that incident, news of the battle at the Dragon Gate and news of the Elders of the Black Crow Sect fleeing miserably with Li Molin as well as Chen Tianqi who had been killed by Zhang En, were both killed by the enemy, it spread like a storm in every region that existed in the entire Star Cloud Continent.
It didn't take long, the news even spread to the Snow Wind Continent, the Wind Eye Continent, and to the ears of the Experts in the Land of Death Domain.
