At that moment, not a single scale on Chen Feng’s body remained intact.
Even the pair of horns on his head had been completely snapped off.
His limbs hung limply, as if they had no bones at all.
Every bone had been shattered.
They felt as though they were holding nothing more than a heap of rotten flesh.
Everyone fell silent.
Those standing on the outskirts anxiously called out:
“How is the Great Xia hero?”
“He must be injured!”
“Hurry and take him to the hospital!”
“Why isn’t anyone saying anything!”
……
A burly middle-aged man lowered his head and said sorrowfully,
“The Great Xia hero… has died.”
Everyone immediately fell silent.
They all stood there, stunned.
Just then, the elderly man who had gently laid Chen Feng on the ground—
Still unwilling to give up, he placed a hand against Chen Feng’s completely caved-in chest and listened.
No one said a word as they watched him.
Everyone already had the same answer in their hearts.
The Great Xia hero was not merely disfigured.
Every bone in his body might have been shattered.
He had even lost the shape of a human being.
The broken area where one of his horns had been was caved in, leaving behind a gaping bloody hole.
In such a condition,
any one of his injuries
would have been enough to kill an ordinary person several times over.
Yet the elderly man, still refusing to give up, suddenly widened his eyes.
“He’s not dead!”
“The Great Xia hero is still alive!”
“He still has a heartbeat!”
The old man trembled with excitement.
When they heard that Chen Feng still had a heartbeat,
the crowd immediately erupted into an uproar.
Several more people stepped forward to listen to Chen Feng’s heartbeat.
Although it was extremely faint,
there was indeed a heartbeat.
Someone immediately shouted:
“What are you waiting for? Get him to the hospital!”
“Call an ambulance!”
“An ambulance? Haven’t you seen how badly the roads are jammed?”
“Let’s find something and use it as a stretcher to carry him over!”
……
Just as everyone began looking for something to use as a stretcher,
a medical worker spoke up to stop them.
“I’m a nurse!”
“The Great Xia hero is far too seriously injured!”
“You absolutely cannot move him carelessly!”
“Go to the hospital and bring back the most skilled doctors!”
……
Someone quickly called for a doctor.
The people from the Kunlun City Martial Arts Association also arrived soon afterward to maintain order.
Just then,
several figures carrying weapons appeared before the crowd.
The man at the head immediately shouted,
“All of you, get out of the way!”
Someone from the Martial Arts Association sternly demanded,
“Who are you people?”
“How dare you cause trouble right in front of the Martial Arts Association!”
The leader let out a cold laugh.
He raised his hand and thrust his sword forward.
The blade pierced straight through the Martial Arts Association team captain, killing him on the spot.
The others were instantly horrified.
“You actually dare attack and kill a member of the Martial Arts Association in broad daylight!”
The leader sneered coldly.
“Kill Chen Feng!”
“Anyone who dares obstruct the Heaven-Devouring Club will be killed!”
The subordinates behind him immediately sprang into action.
All nine of them possessed the strength of Martial Venerables.
Among the personnel sent by the Martial Arts Association,
even the strongest team captain had been only a peak-level martial artist.
When the two sides clashed,
it could no longer be called a battle.
It was a one-sided massacre.
Before long, more than half of the dozens of Martial Arts Association members had been slaughtered.
However, at the critical moment, an elderly Martial Venerable from the crowd of onlookers joined the fight.
He shouted loudly,
“What are you waiting for?”
“Are we really going to stand by and watch them kill our hero?”
“Even if we die, the future of our descendants will still be carried on the shoulders of Great Xia’s hero!”
“If the hero of Great Xia dies, who will protect our children’s future?”
The people who had originally been wary of their opponent’s strength were now roused by the old man’s words.
“That’s right! If Great Xia’s hero dies, how are we supposed to survive in this chaotic world?”
“I can’t protect my family, but I know that the hero of Great Xia can!”
“We may die, but we absolutely cannot let them lay a finger on the hero of Great Xia!”
“Even if it isn’t to repay his kindness, for the sake of Great Xia’s future, we should stand up this once!”
“We can’t rely on Great Xia’s hero every time. Let him rely on us for once!”
…
The people surged forward, blocking anyone who tried to approach Chen Feng.
“Know your place!”
“Since you’re looking for death, we’ll gladly give it to you!”
Nine Martial Venerables against a crowd of ordinary people and ordinary martial artists.
It was nothing short of a one-sided massacre.
But soon, they realized something.
Why couldn’t they kill these people all the way to the end?
The bodies around Chen Feng had already piled up into a small mountain.
Yet people continued to come, one wave after another, throwing themselves into the fray.
Every now and then, a martial artist would manage to exchange a few blows with them.
But even the old Martial Venerable among the nine was eventually killed when they joined forces against him.
Still, ordinary people and low-level martial artists continued to rush forward and block their path.
There was even an old woman leaning on a cane, trembling as she raised it into the air.
She shouted at the top of her lungs, baring a mouthful of yellow teeth that were nearly all gone, trying to strike them with her cane.
“Have you all gone mad?!”
“Do none of you care about your lives?!”
Yet the fearless people continued surging forward.
“The hero of Great Xia has saved us so many times.”
“We’re useless. In this lifetime, we can only save him once!”
“And we don’t even know whether we’ll succeed this time!”
“If my death can buy the hero of Great Xia even one more second of life, then it will be worth it!”
…
What happened in Kunlun City soon reached Tiandu.
It quickly sent shock waves across the entire world.
To save a single person,
countless people were actually willing to offer up their own lives.
A large portion of the people from the Martial Arts Association had gone to the Kunlun Mountains.
Only a small number remained behind, while the Martial Venerables in Kunlun City had also set out at once.
But none of them had been able to kill those nine men.
After seeing the news about Kunlun City on her phone, Jin Youxi immediately said to Shuangshuang:
“Shuangshuang, whatever you do, don’t run off!”
“I’m going to Kunlun City. I’ll be back soon!”
She didn’t dare tell Shuangshuang about her master.
She was afraid the little girl would worry.
So she went alone.
Using her fastest speed, she raced toward Kunlun City.
…
The Kunlun Mountains.
Somewhere in the mountain range.
Yang Xuan was trembling from head to toe in terror.
He watched helplessly as one person after another was sucked into the sky.
Then they turned into bloodless corpses and fell to the ground with a series of heavy thuds, like dumplings dropping from a pot.
The corpses, their eyes still wide open in death, landed in mangled heaps.
He had witnessed the entirety of Chen Feng’s battle.
When his master had chosen to save Kunlun City,
he had known.
His own life had already reached its end.
Watching Su Yuanshan draw closer, soon to fly directly over his head,
Yang Xuan burst into tears.
He had finally become the disciple of the Great Xia Hero.
Before he could make a name for himself,
before he could become a Martial Saint,
before he could rise to fame throughout the world like his senior sisters and Senior Brother Zhao Bing,
he was about to die here.
His parents were still at home, waiting for him to bring honor to the family.
And three spirited young women were waiting for him to enjoy the good life together.
What would they do if he died here?
Yang Xuan sobbed uncontrollably, yet he didn’t dare make too much noise.
He was afraid someone would recognize him as the Great Xia Hero’s disciple.
He didn’t want anyone to see the cowardly side of the Great Xia Hero’s apprentice.
He didn’t want to disappoint his master, much less bring shame upon him.
He would never forget
the day he was taken in as a disciple.
How happy his entire family had been.
How obsequious all those relatives and friends who had once looked down on him suddenly became.
The living room had been piled high with all kinds of gifts.
For once in his life, he had made his parents proud.
For once, they had been so happy they could hardly stop smiling.
At last, no one dared look down on him anymore.
No one dared call him “Four-Eyes Blondie” to his face.
Suddenly, a chill wind swept past him.
Yang Xuan abruptly raised his head.
His eyes gradually widened.
“A… a Ghost Mound Stone Sarcophagus!”
