Chapter 1048 – Tigers and Leopards
Xuan Yue had already been released, and Xu Meidai had also left Da Xi. It was as if all the things that she was about to do had been resolved by herself. When An Zheng walked on the main street, he was actually somewhat at a loss, and felt that the world had become more and more unreal. Just then, he saw a ball of fireworks in the sky. It was the Heavenly Awakening Sect’s unique method of communication. He immediately headed that way, and saw the signal on the wall by the roadside.
Entering a tavern, a young man wearing the Heavenly Awakening Sect’s secret symbol on his clothes was sitting there drinking wine, looking a little anxious. An Zheng walked to the opposite side of the man and sat down. When the man saw An Zheng, he was obviously excited.
“Master.”
“What’s so urgent?”
“I didn’t expect that the sect master would come personally … There was an important piece of news that he didn’t dare to delay. The ancient land had already engulfed Xiushui City. Two ancient cultivators, one named Cao Hu and the other named Cao Bao, led their troops to take over Xiushui City. They killed innocent people and our sect’s people stood up to protect the civilians while they retreated, causing heavy casualties. However, at the very least, hundreds of thousands of civilians came out … Initially, I thought that those disciples who were injured and couldn’t escape were all killed, but after receiving the news, Cao Hu and Cao Bao found out that you were the Heavenly Awakening Sect’s Sect Leader. They tortured us on the streets of Xiu Shui City everyday, and said that if you didn’t go, we would kill one of our people every day. ”
An Zheng suddenly clenched his fists.
The reason why Cao Hu and Cao Bao were targeting the people of Heavenly Awakening Sect was because An Zheng was extremely rude to them in the secret realm. Furthermore, Cao Hu and Cao Bao should have already died on the platform. How could they be reborn?
“I’ll go.”
An Zheng stood up and patted the disciple’s shoulder: “You did well.”
The disciple became excited and did not know what to say.
“Be careful on your way back. Once you get to the contact point, think of a way to go back to the ship.”
An Zheng said. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Chen Shaobai and Du Shoushou rushing over. The two of them were quite far from each other, so they didn’t dare to delay and directly rushed over when they saw the signal. When the disciple saw Chen Shaobai and Du Shoushou, he became even more excited. He had seen all three big shots of the Heavenly Awakening Sect, and felt that his trip here was not in vain.

An Zheng summoned his white horse and spoke to Chen Shaobai and Du Shoushou: “Go back, protect Xiao Liu’er and the others and quickly chase after you. The Xiushui City has already been devoured by the ancient lands, and the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth is extremely dense. Furthermore, the secret base that we built can still be used.
After saying that, An Zheng rode off in the southwest direction. It had been a long time since the refutation had happened. He started to laugh and his speed quickly reached its peak. The distance between Xiushui City and Jinju Road was actually only a few thousand miles. To refute it, this distance was not enough for him to travel to his heart’s content. They left at noon and arrived before nightfall.
An Zheng rode on his crossbow and slowly entered Xiu Shui City. The city gates were wide open, and soldiers wearing ancient armor could be seen patrolling on the city walls. There was not a single pedestrian to be seen on the public road. The air was filled with the smell of blood.
He seemed to have also felt that something was wrong and snorted, as if he was warning An Zheng to be careful.
The city gate was open, but there was no one at the gate. When An Zheng went in, no one obstructed him. After entering the city gate, An Zheng felt that something was amiss, he turned around to look, and saw a row of dozens of corpses hanging on the wall inside the city gate. Based on their clothes, they were all from Heavenly Awakening Sect. There were no traces of blood on their bodies. They had clearly been hanged on the city walls while alive.
A murderous aura started to be released from An Zheng’s eyes.
Xiushui City was a mountain city, and its buildings were built according to the mountains. The height of the city varied, and the roads within the city could not be said to be flat and wide. The biggest feature of the city was that it gathered all of the merchants and families in the northern part of the Great Xixi. There were numerous shops here, and there were also delicacies from the northern and southern parts of the city. The once prosperous city was now deserted. They walked along the winding streets, and every so often, they would see people hanging from walls or big trees. There were people from the Heavenly Awakening Sect, and also cultivators.
Many of the shops’ doors were open, and it was possible to see that the interior was in complete disorder. There were also some houses where corpses were lying on the floor, unattended.
After walking forward for about 10 minutes, they arrived at the most famous place in Xiushui City, called the Mountain and River Condor. This waare flat square in Xiushui City. It was about a dozen acres large, and it was surrounded by wooden buildings. There were many signboard. In the center of the square, there were dozens of sculptures of various sizes. They even attracted the mountain spring water from the sculptures, and every time the sun set, the water from the sculptures would become extremely beautiful.
At this time, all the disciples of Heavenly Awakening Sect were kneeling in a circle around the condors. Every one of them had injuries on their bodies, and it looked like a large majority of them were already on the verge of death. These people were directly penetrated by the iron chains and tied to those statues. The smell of blood was especially thick here, and even the mountain winds wouldn’t be able to blow it away.
There was a stage at the side of the sculpture that seemed to have been constructed on a temporary basis. On the row of wooden posts in the tower, there were Heavenly Awakening Sect disciples tied up, they were all dead. These people had their bellies ripped open and their organs hollowed out. It was obvious that they had suffered incomparable pain while they were still alive.
Cao Hu was sitting on the high platform, drinking his wine. Two beautiful women were standing beside him, still trembling in fear.
Cao Hu squinted his eyes as he looked at An Zheng, then laughed: “Never did I imagine that you and I will have a chance to meet again.”
Before An Zheng saw Cao Hu, he had actually already understood that Tan Shanse’s control over time had far surpassed the current An Zheng. He could remove Immortal Emperor Purple Ivy’s restriction and change the time, allowing Cao Hu and Cao Bao to be reborn. However, that memory did not disappear from Cao Hu and Cao Bao’s minds.
An Zheng turned his head to look. On the wooden building across the plaza, Cao Bao was standing on the second floor bare-chested with a wine jug in his hand. He looked at with a cold smile.
“Look at these disciples of yours.”
Cao Hu extended his hand and looked around, “Do you feel guilty? If it weren’t for you, they wouldn’t be tortured like this. It’s different now. Back then, our world was sealed, so our cultivation could not compare to yours. Now that Mister Zhuge has given us new students and also broken the restriction for us, I would like to see how arrogant you are. The humiliation you gave us back then, I am going to return it to you double now. ”
An Zheng got off the horse and patted his neck: “Go find a place to wait for me.”
Chirp chirp chirp, turned around and ran out.
Cao Hu walked over to the corpses, bent down, and picked up a knife, “See, this was how I cut open their stomachs, causing their intestines to flow out. Where do you think the organs are? You can’t guess … “Hahahaha, I’ve already fed the dogs.”
Cao Hu cut open the corpse beside him and turned the blade to point at An Zheng: “You don’t even know how happy I was when I found out that these people were actually your subordinates. The heavens have treated me well, giving us rebirth, and also giving us the opportunity to take revenge.
On the second floor of a wooden building in the distance, Cao Bao reached out and pulled up a young girl with disheveled clothes by his side. He shouted at An Zheng: “Didn’t you want to be a saint? But being a saint is not so easy. These disciples of yours are just a little lesson to you. Aren’t you awesome? Come, let me see how you are going to save this woman. ”
He stretched out his hand to pinch the girl’s neck, and very quickly, the girl’s face began to turn purple.
“You must be people that seek their pride from killing innocent people, right?”
An Zheng laughed coldly and said: “You couldn’t beat me, so you started to bully the unarmed commoners, and also women. I don’t know where your pride comes from. Let me give you an analogy. There are some men who like to look for younger women, saying that they like younger women. But isn’t it actually because their little chicken can’t satisfy the needs of others? You guys are people who rely on killing the weak to show off your ability. I feel ashamed for you. ”

Cao Bao threw the girl in his hand to the side and jumped down from the second floor, “You think this is a space? At that time, our brother’s cultivation base was already suppressed. If he was at his peak, he could crush you and drink with the wine. Now you still dare to be so arrogant, do you know how much I want to kill you? ”
Cao Hu shouted, “No one is allowed to interfere! Today’s matter iersonal grudge between us bastards, withdraw!”
The surrounding armored warriors started to retreat, obviously well-trained.
Cao Bao laughed sinisterly as he walked: “Brother, I’ll go first. I’ll untie his limbs first, and then you can pull out the tendons and skin. The humiliation this grandson gave us brothers back then, we will take it all back today. ”
Cao Hu laughed loudly, “Don’t kill him. Play slowly.”
Cao Bao replied, “It’s so boring to just kill him. As we torture him, we will torture him many times more. I’m going to pull his intestines out and wrap them around his neck, and then let him swallow his own intestines piece by piece. ”
An Zheng looked at the corpses around him, cupped his fists and bowed, “I have implicated you, you all to protect the citizens and to retreat, you all are heroes. I will bring all of you back and bury you properly. I will avenge all of you. ”
“Stupid idiot.”
Cao Bao rushed over, “Let me see how you can defeat me again!”
As Cao Bao charged forward, he transformed into a dozen gigantic black panthers behind him and roared as he charged towards An Zheng. Each of these black panthers was more than ten meters long, and carried a bloody wind as they flew over. This was transformed from his Cultivation Power, incomparably savage.
“When we were brothers roaming the battlefield, who knows how many stupid, stinking fellows you have killed. Actually, we originally didn’t care about people like you. It was you who was courting death. Today, even if you kneel down and beg us, we won’t let you go. ”
Cao Bao pushed his hands forward, and all the black panthers roared and pounced towards An Zheng. At the same time, countless black runes appeared under An Zheng’s feet. Within a hundred meter radius, the black runes formed a circle.
“Kneel!”
Cao Bao leaped into the air and his hands suddenly pressed down, a berserk pressure instantly appearing.
