Chapter 1697: Chapter 893: Kill! (Part 2)
As soon as the words fell, Qing Chen and Zheng Yuandong emerged from the underground tunnel, while Da Yu, Qing Ji, Li Tongyun, and Black Spider were already waiting there.
Li Tongyun asked, "Brother Qing Chen, how are you?"
Qing Chen didn’t answer but turned to Zheng Yuandong, "Boss Zheng, I’ll leave Boss He to you."
With that said, he fainted, and Qing Ji caught his collapsing body, "Lay down some leaves on the ground."
Once everyone had it prepared, he gently placed Qing Chen on the ground.
Qing Ji silently observed the shrapnel on Qing Chen’s body, finding it hard to imagine what the other had just gone through.
He opened the Door of Shadow, only to see Chen Zhuoqu, Hu Jingyi, and others carrying out three door panels, each leading to the Key of Gate of the Taboo Forest!
At this moment, the Giant Prophet and Second Master emerged first from the Key of Gate.
This was their first time meeting this friend from the great prophecy, yet they hadn’t expected to see each other in such a tragic state.
The Second Master curiously asked, "What’s up with the leader?"
Da Yu’s face was dark, "Who taught you this? A proper army turned into bandits because of one title, does this make sense? Zard, was it you who taught them?"
Zard was stunned for a moment, "How’d you guess that, are you my belly’s..."
Da Yu interrupted expressionlessly, "I’m the rebellious bone at the back of your head."
Zard: "..."
At this moment, Zheng Yuandong explained to the Giant Second Master, "They just went through a great battle and killed the Silver City Duke. Now, to bring back He Jinqiu’s body, they suffered bombardment from the Silver City Army."
The Giant Prophet nodded, "I see."
The next second, a Parents’ Meeting member responsible for reconnaissance ran back, "The Silver City Army has entered the forest!"
Zheng Yuandong silently looked at He Jinqiu’s body, then at the bullet marks on Qing Chen’s body, "They used an aerial fortress, hundreds of floating airships, and tens of thousands of soldiers to besiege two people. Up to now, He Jinqiu has died, and not a piece of intact skin can be found on Qing Chen... But they have many people, we have many as well."
At least more than the enemy imagined.
Zard squatted down next to Qing Chen, poking around, not knowing what he was doing.
Da Yu frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zard suddenly said in a low voice, "I’m counting how many pieces of shrapnel are on him, but there are too many, I get confused when counting... Let’s go kill them."
Da Yu, seeing him serious for once, was somewhat surprised, but he remained silent for a few seconds before answering, "Alright, kill them all."
A group of people carried the Key of Gate out, from which people continuously emerged.
One by one, tall and giant figures crawled out from inside and joined the team.
...
...
Qing Ji already retrieved the ointment and surgical tools. He was using tweezers to extract the shrapnel from Qing Chen’s body while continuously using alcohol to clean the wounds.
Black Spider asked from the side, "Shall I help? I’m quite skilled at these."
Qing Ji looked up at her, "I don’t trust you yet. No one is allowed within three meters of Qing Chen at this moment, step back!"
Qing Ji’s lineage is obsessed with martial arts. When he was young, he asked his father why they must train so hard and what the meaning of cultivation was. Was it just to get stronger?
His father’s answer surprised him: Our cultivation is just to protect the bloodline of the ancestor Qing Zhen. Whoever has the bloodline, we protect them, because they are the true foundation of the Qing’s Family.
Qing Ji didn’t understand before, but gradually followed the old man, he understood.
Now, he has to protect the new Family Head.
Qing Ji treated the wounds one by one, seeing the pieces of shrapnel he extracted from Qing Chen’s body, throwing them aside, totaling over a hundred pieces.
If it weren’t for the strong recovery ability of an A-Class Superhuman, Qing Chen would have been dead by now.
Qing Ji applied the Qing Family’s specially made black ointment on Qing Chen’s wounds, and he suddenly asked, "How many pieces of shrapnel?"
Black Spider answered without hesitation, "161 pieces."
At this time, Black Spider squatted down to examine He Jinqiu’s body and found that even after so many rounds of cannon fire, the body was intact with not a single wound.
Black Spider was a bit incredulous, yet after searching He Jinqiu’s entire body again, she still found no shrapnel.
Qing Chen had protected Boss He too well.
"Why does the boss protect a corpse?" Black Spider asked, "I’ve heard many things about him, knowing he’s a... good person. But, since He Jinqiu already died, is it meaningful to protect a corpse with your own life? He’s now at the pinnacle of his career, so glorious..."
While stitching up Qing Chen’s abdominal wound, Qing Ji calmly said, "There’s no meaning. If it were me, I’d have used He Jinqiu’s body as a shield to rush out of that battlefield. Instead of stupidly protecting a corpse."
Black Spider was stunned; she didn’t expect Qing Ji to say that.
However, Qing Ji turned the corner, "But that’s the difference between him and me, and why so many people follow him while no one follows me. It’s a spirit, the only motivation that keeps him walking through the darkness."
Black Spider silently watched, finding it somewhat incredible.
But from another perspective, the Duke of Storm City she previously followed could humiliate and discard her at will, whereas Qing Chen would even protect a fallen comrade’s body.
What a world of difference.
At this time, Qing Ji suddenly said, "By the way, let me correct you, it’s not his most glorious moment now. His glory is only just beginning."
...
...
The Silver City Army divided into three groups and entered the forest.
There were so many of them that the grass and underbrush they stepped on revealed bare soil after their passage.
Moreover, in the rear mechanized units, there was even a dedicated sweeper to see giant engineering vehicles rolling in, sawing down rows of large trees like bulldozers to allow passage for the armored vehicles and main battle tanks.
The original forest was opened into paths.
There was originally no road in the world, but as more people traveled, it became a road.
At this moment, Lao Wu sat in the command vehicle with a gloomy face.
He actually didn’t expect that He Jinqiu, whom he had captured from outside, would transform into a Sword Immortal capable of bringing them disaster.
He also didn’t expect that the brothers who were still scheming a day ago were now all dead, leaving only him and Lao Shi!
He further didn’t expect that even though He Jinqiu was already dead, his all-out bombardment of Qing Chen still didn’t kill him!
How could that be!
Lao Wu looked at the holographic sand table, where a drone accompanied the troops forward, transmitting everything from the front line in real-time.
In the communication channel, a military officer suddenly said, "Sir, we found fresh footprints on the ground, the moss was just trampled. You were right, they fled this way."
Lao Wu briefly exhaled, "Keep pursuing. The fighter jets from the Northern Air Force Base have already taken off, they can’t escape."
However, just then, Lao Wu suddenly saw a figure appear in front of the troop.
A young man stepped out alone from the darkness, shouting, "Kill!"
The soldiers looked bewilderedly at this young man with a little sapling on his head. Then, seeing him alone among them, they burst into laughter, "What’s this guy doing?"
But the next moment, a deafening march was suddenly heard gradually approaching from the woods, heavy and dense.
The march sounded like drum beats made by the leg bones of mammoth elephants, using the belly skin of ancient dragons as the drum’s surface, pounded heavily by colossal giants.
With a thump, those hearing the marching sounds felt their hearts tremble!
In an instant, countless massive silhouettes charged out of the darkness with strides capable of crossing mountains and seas, shouting, "Kill!"
