Chapter 1 Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren

Hei Yexiao took the lead in charging into Da Meng Xiang (Great Dream Village), followed by hundreds of zombies. A great battle instantly erupted between the two sides. Hei Yexiao advanced slowly through the throng, and any Changsheng Shi (Undying Corpse) who came within three meters of him were blasted away by an invisible shockwave.

Countless Changsheng Shi continued to swarm towards Hei Yexiao, undeterred by the risk of death. Hei Yexiao's forces advanced relentlessly, and the Changsheng Shi fell to the ground in swathes.

Lower Village was soon awash in blood, but Hei Yexiao kept shouting, "No one is allowed to touch the blood and flesh on the ground! Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"

Bloodlust was the instinct of zombies, and obedience to higher-ranking zombies was also in their nature.

Under Hei Yexiao's strong suppression, the Houqing Guards controlled their bloodthirsty desires, but were driven to the point of madness.

It was as if a table full of delicious food was placed in front of a group of people who had been starving for days, only to be told that the dishes were poisoned. How could these half-starved people not go crazy?

Under the flailing giant axes of the Houqing Guard zombies, the severed limbs of the Changsheng Shi were thrown into the air, turning into a rain of blood that poured down. The ground of Lower Village was soon covered in bloody mud.

Hei Yexiao was like a demon god, advancing through the blood, and soon reached the end of the village.

Just as he was about to order an attack on Second Village, he saw the pile of heads in the courtyard.

Hei Yexiao walked over in a few steps, picked up a head, and looked at it for a long time, "This head is strange."

"See if there are any living people left in the village."

"If not, get the corpses in the cages in front back for me."

More than a dozen heavily armored zombies immediately separated from the ranks and rushed towards the entrance of Second Village.

The villagers standing on the high wall were already facing a great enemy. Seeing the zombies approaching, they unleashed a volley of arrows.

The dense arrows struck the zombies and bounced to the ground. Behind the stone wall, someone set up a cauldron of oil.

Hei Yexiao saw that the cauldron of oil on the stone wall was about to tilt downwards, and he was about to move.

Lao Liu gently stopped Hei Yexiao and said, "Save the people, don't rush to attack the city."

"Understood!" By the time the echo of Hei Yexiao's voice reached Lao Liu's ears, he was already twenty meters away.

The cauldron of oil on the stone wall had already tilted halfway. Just as the hot oil in the pot was about to pour out, Hei Yexiao pushed out with both palms, and a wave of demonic energy struck the oil pot from several meters away.

The iron pot, which was more than two meters in diameter, along with the boiling oil, was lifted into the air, tumbling and spilling towards the city.

It was unknown whether the oil pot had caught a spark during the tumbling process, but a wall of fire stretched across the city wall, and fires broke out in the city.

Hei Yexiao had more than a dozen zombies snatch back the wooden cages. He stood at the gate of the city and pushed out with a palm. The city gate, which was several inches thick, instantly shattered into pieces. The broken pieces of wood, along with the crushed corpses, swept into the city. Hei Yexiao sneered a few times before turning around and leaving.

Hei Yexiao walked into Lower Village and said, "Tear down the houses and build a wall for me here. Watch that gate above, and kill anyone who dares to come down!"

The Houqing Guards tore down the houses and carried the broken walls to the intersection, re-piling them into a high wall.

The people in Second Village were also quickly repairing the city gate.

The two sides built their own fortifications, neither interfering with the other.

Hei Yexiao and Lao Liu interrogated the people separately. The village chief was forced by the two to repeat what he had said before, and also confessed the identities of several other people.

Hei Yexiao frowned and said, "According to him, Ying Gou should be trapped in the water source."

"After the Lord meets Ying Gou, he might take action to save him."

"If the Lord really saves Ying Gou, it will be terrible. That guy is extremely concerned about his reputation. After being rescued, in order to save face, he might kill the Lord and Ye Dangjia on the spot."

"Lao Liu, can you contact the Lord?"

Lao Liu shook his head and said, "I can't contact him. The Lord lost contact with us after entering Da Meng Xiang (Great Dream Village). I think there is a bronze bell in the village. You can try to ring the bell to send a signal to the Lord."

"However, by doing so, our signal might be intercepted by our opponents."

Lao Liu pondered for a moment and said, "Don't rush to contact the Lord. He is not forcibly attacking the mountain like us, so even if he goes to the water source, he won't arrive too quickly. We still have time."

"Besides, the Lord and Ye Dangjia are not so easily fooled. Maybe they can even trick Ying Gou."

Lao Liu said, "Let's clarify the matter before making plans. Bring those people up."

Hei Yexiao had the prisoners who had been skinned, along with the wooden cages, brought up.

The mouths of several people were all sealed with iron hooks, and they couldn't make any sound. Lao Liu walked around the cage a few times and said, "Not bad, quite tough? There are not many people who can survive after being skinned."

"Come on, remove the iron hooks from his mouth."

A ghost servant of Hei Yexiao went up and removed the hook from one of the people's mouths. The other person weakly said, "Master Liu, please, give me a quick death!"

"You know me?" Lao Liu shook his fan and said, "Since you know me, you should know my temper. I'm an iron rooster who is unwilling to talk to people without benefits. Tell me, what can you tell me?"
