The person who killed the sura king who liked human males, and who had tried to invade Qi—that had to be Zhang Lie! Su Hong thought for a moment before replying, ”I ’m not sure what you ’re talking about.
Neither of these sura are familiar to me. ”

”Is that so? ” Shouta didn ’t seem to care.
”Well, forget it.
I came over here to slaughter people, so if I just kill everyone in this city, I ’m sure I ’ll get the culprit.
Aren ’t I smart? ”

Upon sensing the sura king ’s hostility, Su Hong shouted, ”We have to fight, now! Against an enemy of this caliber, the city walls are meaningless! ”

Shouta waved his sword once more, slicing off another part of the wall.

The rock giants charged forward, but they were easily beheaded with a clean sweep.
Nevertheless, they continued surging onward despite the loss of their heads.

Shouta ’s eyes gleamed.
”Very interesting—you can live on even without your heads? ”

With another deft swing of his sword, he chopped off their four limbs to see if they could continue living even after that.
He was about to strike again, but his next blow was interrupted with a hail of arrows.
Shouta tsked as he looked up and swept away the arrows with another wave of his sword.

”As bothersome as flies. ” He punctuated his comment with another strike, causing Su Hong ’s eyes to widen as he shouted, ”Dodge! Everyone, stay down! ” 

Shouta sent strike after strike flying toward the city walls and the soldiers above.
The crag eagles tried to swoop down on the sura forces, but Shouta easily took them down.
The difference in their strength was massive, and their attacks were simply useless against him.


Su Hong knew that they had no chance of delaying the sura incursion.

Just then, a tree so tall it almost seemed to be reaching the clouds unrooted itself from the ground and began walking over to Shouta.

Shouta glanced at it curiously.
”How interesting.
I ’m glad I beat everyone else here. ”

The tree ’s massive branches tried to swing toward Shouta, but he cut them off the trunk without even glancing at them.
Nevertheless, the branches began growing back rapidly.

”Interesting, very interesting! ” With a smirk, Shouta continued slicing off the branches even more rapidly.
Two slices stripped the tree of its branches, three scored a deep cut in its bark, and the fourth left a huge opening in the trunk.

Just as the fifth strike was about to land, Su Hong shrieked, ”Hold it! ”

The gigantic tree was the ancestral abode of the wood spirits.
Cutting it apart would present a huge blow to their kind.

Shouta ignored him.
His sword flashed downward, but before it could complete the arc of its trajectory, a black shadow flashed by.
Shouta kicked him aside without even turning around, causing him to fly away like a cannonball.
He rolled on the ground a few times before coming to a halt, and only then did Su Hong see that he was the Yeluo chieftain.

With the two clan leaders of the alien races defeated, it seemed as though Renhuang wouldn ’t last until Zhang Lie ’s return.


Even so, Su Hong had to try his best to delay things further.

He shouted loudly, ”Didn ’t you want to find the killer behind those two sura? ”

Shouta frowned.
”Do you know who the killer is? ”

”It ’s me! ”

Shouta struck with his blade so quickly that Su Hong couldn ’t react.
By the time he came to his senses, he had toppled over.
His head glanced at his two feet, which had been neatly lopped off his body.
”Don ’t treat me like a fool.
Someone like you could hardly have killed two sura kings. ”

Su Hong roared, ”Nonsense! I was the one who killed the sura king Xueju, who hung him on the city walls and let anyone humiliate him! ”

Shouta crushed Su Hong ’s chest with a foot.
”You might not be the sura kings ’ killer, but you do seem to know something.
Who ’s manipulating all this from behind the scenes? ”

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

Su Hong shouted again, ”I ’ve told you, it ’s me! Kill me if you must, but the others in Renhuang are innocent! ”


Shouta shook his head.
”You don ’t seem to understand what I came here to do.
You should realize that I ’ve never let anyone go in the past—I ’m an equal-opportunity sculptor.
Be you adult or child, elderly or matronly, I ’ll chop off your head and build a tower out of it.
Don ’t you think me fair? ”

Su Hong cried out again, ”If you ’re willing to let the people in the city go, I ’ll tell you everything! ”

”No.
But if you tell me everything, I can consider sparing your life. ”

”You have to let Renhuang go! ”

”I came precisely for the slaughter.
No matter what you do, Renhuang will perish—and, I think, so will you.
You ’ve exhausted my patience. ” Shouta ’s executioner ’s blade swung down toward Su Hong.

Lit by the blood-red glow, Su Hong ’s eyes were filled with despair and misery.

In the end, he was unable to delay the sura invasion.
By the time Zhang Lie returned, he would find that Renhuang, which he ’d poured months of effort into, had been destroyed by a sura king.

Just then, however, a flaming arrow shot toward Shouta.
Frowning, he cut it apart.

”We fight for our own opportunities. ” A shadow had appeared before Su Hong out of nowhere.
He clenched his shaking fists tightly, and the entire world seemed to shake. 


Shouta had no time to launch another blow; he had no choice but to defend.
The fist landed on his blade and pushed it back, sending the blade smashing against his face.
Such was the strength of the blow that Shouta began to bleed from all his orifices, and he was knocked flying.

Upon seeing his savior, Su Hong ’s eyes turned red.
”Governor, you ’re finally back! I ’m sorry I ’ve disappointed you! ”

”No, you ’ve done very well.
You can rest easily now—I ’ll make the sura pay for having harmed you.
Sun Mengmeng, help Su Hong out.
I ’m going to take down these foolish invaders! ”

”Interesting, very interesting! Are you the culprit then? You must be the one who killed my fifth and seventh brothers. ”

”Indeed—and soon I ’ll be your killer too! ”

Shouta rubbed his blade and laughed.
”Ha, just you alone? I ’m my godfather ’s strongest son! None of the others are a match for me, and I ’ve killed countless humans like you in the past.
You won ’t be a threat at all. ”

Zhang Lie surveyed the mess that Shouta had made of his city and chuckled coldly.
”I ’ll commend you for your courage, at least.
Don ’t think I ’ll show you any mercy. ”
