292: C292 Slaughter the Village

C292 Slaughter the Village

3A man of such audacity is either a fool or a man of true ability.

Xue Zhaotian sized Lee Zongjiu up, then the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Arrogant enough. Take a look."

Xue Zhaotian threw a scroll on the table to Lee Zongjiu. He would let Lee Zongjiu do things before he knew his strength. If Lee Zongjiu couldn't do anything, then he would let Lee Zongjiu know how powerful he was.

This kind of straightforward personality was also very appealing to Xue Zhaotian.

"Insect disaster? Do you have a sample of those insects?"

Lee Zongjiu looked at the file in his hand. After reading it, he frowned. In addition to the previous situation, it seemed that the sudden insect disaster had been premeditated. Therefore, Lee Zongjiu guessed that it was most likely related to those people.

Southern Border Poison Cult.

Last time, Lee Zongjiu had only killed a minor character. Now, these people of the Southern Border Poison Cult had truly moved out.

These people from the Poison Sect weren't strong, but they were able to control these bugs with ease. Furthermore, a small bug could bring about a great disaster.

That small blood poisonous bug had directly asked Lee Zongjiu to ask Nan Sheng to help.

It could be seen how difficult it was to deal with it. Now that these bugs had come back on such a large scale, Lee Zongjiu needed to stop them because it was very likely that there would be a flood. But before he saw it, Lee Zongjiu could not be sure.

After all, there were many reasons why these insects could cause a disaster.

"No, but their chief will be here soon."

The chief was not invited by them. He had rushed to this place overnight. Xue Zhaotian had already sent a small team to investigate the situation. No matter what, he had to ensure the safety of the rest of the people.

"Master, the village chief of West Ding Village has arrived!"

Zhao Kuang brought an old man over.

There were some stains on the old man's body, and he looked a little flustered. The moment he saw Xue Zhaotian, he was extremely excited and immediately pounced towards Xue Zhaotian.

"How dare you!"

Zhao Kuang was just about to stop him, but Xue Zhaotian waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

"Sir, you must save our village!"

"Get up first..."

Xue Zhaotian wanted to help the old man stand up, but his hands were suddenly grabbed by the old man. His heart was moved, but Bin didn't attack and sent the old man flying. He believed in his own strength. This old man couldn't hurt him so easily, no matter what means he had.

However, at this moment, Lee Zongjiu had already made his move.

Lee Zongjiu moved forward with a step.

A palm strike sent the old man flying.

While rolling on the ground, Lee Zongjiu flicked his finger and a black flame shot toward the old man on the ground.

Seeing Lee Zongjiu's action, the old man was stunned.

Xue Zhaotian was the first to get angry. No matter what, these people were their parents. How could they hurt them? If the soldiers didn't protect the civilians, what use would that be?

"You..."

However, the order to capture Lee Zongjiu was only at the tip of his tongue, but he did not say it out loud. He could already see the old man's body gradually incinerating, but within the old man's body, a hundred black beetles appeared.

These beetles fled frantically, wanting to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

To these insects, the thing they feared the most was these terrifying flames.

However, no matter where they ran, there was no way to extinguish these flames. In the end, they were all burned clean.

Zhao Kuang held his sword and blocked in front of Xue Zhaotian.

Although Xue Zhaotian's strength might very well be stronger than Zhao Kuang's, he still had to do his duty as a guard.

The two of them could only watch helplessly as so many bugs jumped out of the village chief's body. This scene had clearly shocked them.

"Impossible. That village chief was definitely not dead. If he was not, where did these bugs come from?"

Zhao Kuang immediately said. Thinking about it carefully, it was a little terrifying. How could something like this happen?

"This is the Southern Wilderness Insect Gu."

At this moment, a black beetle ran towards Lee Zongjiu's feet. Lee Zongjiu grabbed it, and the flames on its body gradually extinguished.

He observed it carefully.

He found that this beetle was a type of poisonous insect from the Southern Border Poison Cult. It was called a blood beetle.

Bloodthirsty for a living.

Moreover, it was innately tough.

If they had enough blood to grow, their bodies would grow larger and larger. In the end, they would be able to swallow an entire calf.

This was how terrifying it was.

It sounded ordinary. But there was only one or two of them, if there were thousands of them.

It would become a true army of Blood Beetles. Even if they ate the walls of the Wu Dingsheng Pass, it would only take a few minutes.

"These are Blood Beetles. They are parasitic in the blood. It seems that the people in this village are all dead."

Lee Zongjiu said calmly.

He handed these insects to Xue Zhaotian.

Xue Zhaotian took the bug. Although it smelled like charcoal, he could see that the bug was still kicking its legs. Clearly, it wanted to escape from his hands. It actually had such tenacious vitality.

"It's actually the legendary Gu. Who did it? I'm going to cripple it!"

"Let's burn that village first. Once these insects leave the human body, we must find fresh blood and flesh within an hour. Only with fresh blood can we continue to live."

Lee Zongjiu said indifferently.

Even though he was used to seeing life and death in his previous life, when such a thing happened, he was still very unhappy. Killing countless people didn't mean killing innocent people.

The people Lee Zongjiu killed were all enemies. They deserved to die.

There were also some people he didn't like.

Under some circumstances, even Lee Zongjiu wouldn't be able to kill them.

Therefore, Lee Zongjiu hated this kind of massacre of ordinary villagers to the core.

However, the whereabouts of the Southern Border Poison Cult were hidden, so it was not easy to find them.

Moreover, these people liked to hide in the dark. If they weren't very familiar with them, or if they came to find them personally, it would be very difficult to find them.

Hiding in the city. It was fine, but if the other party was hiding in this mountain, you wanted to find him. Unless it was a carpet search!

"Why do you know so much about these insects?"

Xue Zhaotian stared at Lee Zongjiu as if he was trying to figure out what was wrong with Lee Zongjiu.

"Just study more."

Lee Zongjiu waved his hand and said.

"I have already told you the method. If you do not stop it in time, it will become a disaster. You should hurry up."

After saying that, Lee Zongjiu turned around and left.

This arrogance also caused Xue Zhaotian and Lee Zongjiu to be extremely shocked.

"Sir, should we capture him?"

Zhao Kuang had never thought that this matter would actually turn out like this.

Lee Zongjiu actually dared to swagger away like this, practically not putting them in his eyes.

What kind of place did he think the Chief Military Manor was? He could come and go as he pleased. He couldn't leave as he pleased!

"There's no need."

Xue Zhaotian looked at Lee Zongjiu who had left.

"Where did you say this kid came from?"

Xue Zhaotian looked at Zhao Kuang.

"He came from Luoxia City, but he rode the Red Maned Horse of Qianma City!"

"It's related to the Qianma City. It's been a long time since I've seen such an imposing young man."

Xue Zhaotian couldn't help but exclaim. Obviously, he was impressed by Lee Zongjiu's performance. As long as Lee Zongjiu didn't do anything that would harm Wu Dingsheng, Xue Zhaotian wouldn't cause trouble for Lee Zongjiu.

As for the matter of removing the insect disaster, they were the ones who did it.

Lee Zongjiu was able to give them a few pointers because they had captured the Blood Strike Guard earlier.

"Gather all the fire elemental soldiers and personally lead the troops to leave West Ding Village immediately. In addition, you will be in charge of leading the troops. Keep an eye on the Blood Strike Guard and lock them up for half a month before letting them leave!"

"Yes, milord!"

Although Zhao Kuang did not understand why he had to lock up those Blood Strike Guards for such a long time, since milord had given the order, he naturally had to do as he was told.

Lee Zongjiu returned to the inn.

He happened to see San Tong waiting in the hall.

San Tong's face revealed a look of surprise when he saw Lee Zongjiu return.

"Young Master!"1
