Towards Eternity
Ch 501's. The Slum Conquest (II)

Weng Lou turned his head and looked towards Du Zhe who was below. He gave her a code to tell the teenager that what he said was true.

Du Zhe was silent. He who was a child was hesitant to tell the teenager, as ordered by Weng Lou.

But now Weng Lou was his teacher, and he had to obey him as a good student.

With a slow step he advanced and faced towards the teenager, looking into his eyes.

Breathe in.

"Yes, as my previous teacher said. You will now be freed from your slave status, but you must accept my teacher as your new leader.

Take it easy, you will no longer be told to do hard work like before. As long as you are willing to obey some of the rules set by my teacher, then you will be released" Du Zhe explained in a single breath.

The teenager blinked, then turned his head back and looked at Weng Lou.

Could he be the one who was meant as a teacher by her? She's not even much older than my sister, what can she do? A kid like me said that he wanted to be the leader in this city, don't joke!

He started to seem disbelieving in what Du Zhe had explained, and had to go back.

Despite this massive assault on City 1, surely the soldiers will come and finish it soon. Things like this happen a lot, he thought.

"Go away, I've heard too much nonsense while in this city. A child who was only a few years older than me declared himself the new leader? Ha, if that's true then this world will definitely end soon!"

He waved his hand, then slowly walked away, and turned on the alley of the road he had previously passed.

Weng Lou gave a sign to Du Zhe, who was immediately replied with a nod by him.

Du Zhe stepped his foot, he then ran and chased after the juvenile figure within ten seconds. With the strength of the 2nd level Foundation Base, this was already arguably very good. Of course for Weng Lou, Du Zhe's movements were extremely slow in his eyes.

"Hey, stop! My teacher hasn't let you go yet" Du Zhe said.

The teenager turned around and pushed Du Zhe's body to the ground.

"Stay away from me, you just come and make trouble here. Everything you have done to this city, will definitely receive a reply from the imperial soldiers.

The slaves, who will accept his punishment, even if we do nothing. Free us? Huh, even a child like you doesn't know anything about this cruel world!" he shouted furiously.

He took his foot off again, but then Du Zhe's little hand immediately grabbed one of his legs, and made the teenager stop.

"I told you, my teacher hasn't let you go yet." Du Zhe spoke slowly.

The teenager's eyes looked cold, he pulled his other leg, then immediately kicked into Du Zhe's body.

But before it could hit its target, Du Zhe immediately pulled out his hand which was tightly holding the teenager's left leg.

"Huhuahh!!"

Buck!

The teenager fell to the ground, the back of his head that landed first, hit hard.

His head instantly became dizzy and his gaze was a little hazy. He saw Du Zhe looked like he was becoming two to three people.

"Ek..my head..."

"ah! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you!"

Du Zhe hurriedly took off his hand, and got up to his feet.

In a slightly dizzy condition, the teenager then kicked Du Zhe until he was pushed back a few steps, and immediately stood up and ran away leaving Du Zhe.

Seeing that, Du Zhe immediately chased after him. Within seconds, he caught up with the teenager, and tried to stop him again as before.

But before he could do that, from in front of him, a wooden stick swung towards his head.

!!!!

Hap!

With his pretty good reflexes, Du Zhe managed to dodge it by looking down. At that time he saw a girl the same age as a teenage boy he was chasing was holding a wooden stick pointed at him.

Whether due to his instincts or something else, Du Zhe's right foot moved quickly, and dropped the girl by kicking her leg.

"Aah!!" The girl screamed. He fell to the ground and grabbed his buttocks which landed first on the ground.

Du Zhe was unwilling to waste time with him, he immediately returned to focus on chasing the teenage boy who had been nearly twenty meters away from him.

"He's fast" Du Zhe murmured softly.

The teenage boy was definitely not a Martial Practitioner, Du Zhe could confirm that even though he had not been a Martial Practitioner for long. It was evident from the strength of his punches and kicks that were bestowed on Du Zhe earlier.

Once again, Du Zhe managed to catch up to him. And there was no disturbance like before.

Du Zhe's hand moved quickly, he caught the teenager's right hand, and in an instant slammed him into the ground violently.

"Backk!!!"

"You can't go any further"

BAMM!!!

Suddenly, a huge hand hit Du Zhe from behind him. Du Zhe's tiny body was thrown and hit the wall of the building to make a loud noise.

Blood was spewed out by Du Zhe. His eyes turned red, and saw the figure of a large man with clenched hands standing where Du Zhe had previously stood.

"Don't you dare touch my men..." The man said in a cold voice.

He was emitting a killing intent from within his body. Moving his legs, he stood before Du Zhe, then tightly grasped Du Zhe's head, and raised his body.

Du Zhe's legs moved and kicked around the big man's body, but it looked like the man didn't budge at all.

This was enough to shock him for how far he had gone, only those who were at the Foundation Level 4 and above were the buses holding back without moving the slightest kick from the Martial Practitioner who was at the Foundation Level 2 like him.

"Hmp! Arrogant boy! Just being at the 2nd level Foundation Base and you dare to mess with my men?! I broke both your arms and legs, then saw how you could hurt my men again!"

The man's left hand immediately held tightly to Du Zhe's right hand, and he gave more strength to his grasp, making Du Zhe's left hand emit a cracking sound.

"Ack-in!!"

Du Zhe grimaced in pain. His face flushed with anger and pain. His right hand that was not held, he immediately used to hit the hand of the man who was holding his left hand, but it seemed like before the man had not reacted in the slightest.

"Fuck son, you still dare to hit me? Let me take off your left hand, and you'll feel what hell is called."

Once again, the big man added his strength to his grasp, and prepared to pull Du Zhe's left hand.

But before that happened, a silhouette of light moved very quickly, and passed through his wrist.

The next second, his right wrist was severed and fell to the ground. The big man was confused, he took a few seconds to process, before knowing what had happened.

"My hands?!"

He exclaimed in shock. His left hand that held Du Zhe's head immediately released him, and he also grasped the former piece of his wrist.

Blood flowed out from his wound, and he veins appeared all over his body.

There was no pain he felt from the former piece, but what happened to him was real. His hand had been cut off by something he didn't even know.

His head turned to the right and to the left, looking for the cause of this and he found Weng Lou's Life-Destroying Blade hovering above his head.

At the same time, the figure of Weng Lou walked slowly closer from the alley they passed. It was seen that the figure of the girl that Du Zhe had dropped earlier was being pocked by Weng Lou with both her hands and feet bound by her Qi.

"Well, I didn't expect that there was still some silence between the buildings of this city. As a Martial Practitioner, you are quite good at hiding your presence in this place" said Weng Lou casually.

Tap....

The quiet and calm atmosphere made the sound of footsteps of Weng Lou echo in the alley.

The man looked at Weng Lou sharply, and he faced towards him with his left hand clenched violently.

A white energy began to coat his left hand, and the next second he shot towards Weng Lou. He had a fairly fast speed according to Weng Lou for the person who was at Foundation Base.

A few seconds later, the man reached in front of Weng Lou and immediately gave his fist towards him. But then the man's body immediately fell silent in place as it felt a killing aura radiating out from within Weng Lou's body.

"You...what kind of monster are you...?"

"Come on, maybe you can call me 'genius'. I'd rather be called that."

Shu

The Life-Destroying Knife shot out quickly, and then inflicted wounds on both of the big man's legs to the point that it bent its knees to the ground.

"Hey, Du Zhe! You okay?"

"I'm fine, Master! Just a little severe bone!" shouted Du Zhe from his place.

Weng Lou nodded hearing that. His legs immediately swung at him, and pushed the large man's body until it reached Du Zhe's place. Weng's feet immediately stepped, he arrived at Du Zhe's place in an instant.

He looked at Du Zhe who was holding his left hand. A small smile was seen on his face. His hand immediately touched Du Zhe's left hand, and his Qi began to flow and heal him.

"It looks like only your hand is injured" said Weng Lou, who then removed his hand after he finished healing it.

"Thank you Master."

Being able to injure Du Zhe to break his hand, clearly this big man was a Martial Practitioner. But his class was not one of the Warriors in this city, but his physique was also not like the slaves hang there.

Including the two boys and girls who were with him.

"Who are you, uncle? You're like he's no ordinary slave in this town. I saw you watching me finish off the warrior leader from behind the shadow of the building. If you don't answer that it's okay, I'll kill you for hurting my students anyway."

The big man positioned himself into a sit and stared at Weng Lou sharply as if he wanted to kill him. But there was nothing he could do now that Weng Lou's previous kick had messed up the flow of Inner Power on him just like that.

His eyes looked at the teenage boy who was on the ground and was unconscious from being slammed by Du Zhe before, then looked at the girl who was held up by Weng Lou and was also unconscious. I don't know what Weng Lou did to her that made her so. He sighed.

"If I tell you, you promise you won't do anything to them?" ask him to Weng Lou.

"Hey, we're not negotiating here. If you don't want to tell me your name then I won't force you, because I don't care either" explained Weng Lou who made the man choke on his own breath.

"Wait son, it looks like he could be of use to us." Suddenly Ye Lao spoke inside Weng Lou's head.

"*You mean?"

"Let's see, the city is vast, but all the soldiers you've killed and so have the leaders. The slaves have all been mentally damaged and it is impossible for you to lead them."

"So you want me to make this man the new leader of this city, do you?"

"true."

"No, that's impossible. You saw what he did to Du Zhe, didn't you? Wanted to put where my face is if it made him the leader of this town*." Weng Lou snorted.

"Stop that trait of yours, we are currently planning to take control of the entire Slum Region. We need suitable people to lead the cities within so that our next plan can be carried out. Do you still want to meet your family?" asked Ye Lao who immediately made Weng Lou speechless.

"All right, you win. I'll do as you suggest."

Weng Lou rolled his eyes, then stepped towards the man after picking up the piece of his hand that was on the ground.

He threw it at the man, then also threw him a pill from inside his storage room.

"I'm changing my mind, I'm going to make you the temporary leader of this town. Swallow that pill, your hand can still get you back if you swallow it now." Weng Lou spoke while smiling at him.

The man frowned, he did not understand Weng Lou's line of thought. He wanted to kill him before, but now that he's lost, you've made him the new leader of this town.

But on the other hand, he stared at the pill given by Weng Lou. He had never heard of such a miraculous oil. Whether or not such a pill existed, but if he did not try then he would not know what Weng Lou said was true or not.

After thinking for a while, he decided to swallow the pill given by Weng Lou.

A sudden sensation of heat appeared on his stomach. His entire body let out a cold sweat, and he looked at Weng Lou in disbelief.

He gave her poison?! That's what the man thought.

"Stupid, hold that piece of your hand, and stick it to the piece, not look at me like crazy" Weng Lou said.

Somehow the man felt a sense of hope from Weng Lou's words. He quickly attached the pieces of his hand that had been cut by Weng Lou before 0there are pieces of his.

Miraculously, his severed hands began to fuse again starting from his flesh, skin, and then his bones.

The man's mouth opened wide, he was speechless looking at that and looked at Weng Lou with admiration that he could not describe himself.

"I-It.this.this.me...thank you very much..."

"Don't think about it, I just want you to organize and guard this city and the other slaves until I get back here. And also..."

Weng Lou turned his head and looked at the end of one of the alleys where there were several lifeless bodies of soldiers.

"I want you to collect all the bodies of those soldiers and collect all the equipment they're wearing. After that you'll burn them or bury them I don't care, which obviously I don't want to see their bodies when I get back here, do you understand?"

The large-bodied man looked in the direction that Weng Lou looked at, before then nodding in agreement.

"Well, if that's what you want, I'll do it all well" she replied.

"Good then."

After their brief conversation, Weng Lou then lowered the body of the girl he was carrying, then walked towards Du Zhe.

"Come on Du Zhe, we're done here. Now the last place we should visit today is Heishin City, and then I'll teach you how to play" said Weng Lou.

Du Zhe nodded. The two of them then walked away and returned to the Black Ape Fighters that were at the front of the city.

They left the city, leaving it in a state full of lifeless bodies.

The man stayed in his place for a while, until then the teenage boy and girl the age of the teenager who was the big man's men regained consciousness.

"Will...? What the hell's going on? Where's the little boy...?" ask the teenage boy to the man.

"They are gone, now we and the other slaves in this city," he answered briefly, rising to his feet and beginning to walk away toward the heaps of soldiers.

Both of his men were staring at him in confusion. They followed him immediately from behind.

"Now...what are we going to do, boss?" The girl who was with the teenage boy asked.

"What are we doing? We're gonna start collecting the bodies of those soldiers."

The man pointed towards the bodies the soldiers were in.

The two looked at it with increasing confusion, but there was no morning comment from them. As the men's men, they just had to do as their boss ordered them to.
