God of Slaughter

Shi Yan’s soul was quivering. He could clearly sense an attraction from somewhere in the South.

There was more and more qi being drawn from a river beside him to the South.

Shi Yan tried to feel it carefully. His face suddenly changed and he hurried towards that river.

Five warriors, wearing black robes and bamboo hats, were dragging along many residents, whose mouths were stuffed by cloth. They were killing them one by one and after the residents were dead, they pushed the bodies into the river without hesitation.

There were many swollen human bodies in the river and among them were the elders, women, and children. With a single glimpse, Shi Yan found that there were at least hundreds of bodies.

“Plop! Plop!”

The sound of dead bodies dropping into water filled the silent forest. The five warriors, who were at the Nascent and Human rank, kept pushing the dead bodies into the river.

By the time Shi Yan had arrived, the last few residents had been killed and thrown into the river.

Many souls, who were hardly visible, rose from the river. However, instead of dispersing, they were all flying rapidly to the South of Cloud Island, as if being drawn by some kind of force.

There was a powerful attraction force coming from South of the Island. Drawn by this force, the residents’ souls would not disperse immediately after they die, but were instead, taken away by it.

“What are you doing?” Shi Yan appeared on the river bank abruptly, asking, “Who are you? Do you enjoy killing defenseless residents?”

Shi Yan knew too well that he was no good guy himself, but he kept his baseline; he only killed those who deserved to be killed, but never defenseless women and children.

These people however, had no humanity, and could be called animals. They even killed the helpless elders and children.

They could not be called human.

“Hey boy, mind yourself and leave from here.” A warrior in the Third Sky of the Human Realm warned coldly, “Which warrior sect are you from? Didn’t you receive the message?”

“What message?” Shi Yan scorned.

“Then you are not a warrior from the Island.” The man interrupts between them and then says, “Take my advice, leave Clouds Island now and go as far as you can or else you’ll be dead before you know it.”

Shi Yan sneered. “It looks like you won’t be honest until I kill some of you.”

Having said this, Shi Yan immediately ran towards them.

Three minutes later.

Four of the five warriors were dead, leaving the warrior who opened his mouth first as the sole survivor. His bamboo hat had been torn off and was under Shi Yan’s foot now.

This warrior, while lying on the ground, was staring at Shi Yan in shock as he asked, “Who on earth are you? Do you know who you are dealing with? To be our enemy, you are asking for trouble!”

“Now tell me, who are you? Why did you kill these people?” Shi Yan asked.

“You’ll regret this!” the man on the ground gritted his teeth.

“Ka!”

Shi Yan picked up a dagger and cut off the man’s left hand. Without any expression, he said, “I ask and you answer. I don’t want any of your bullshit.”

The man on the ground was screaming out in pain. Sweat ran down his forehead and his body was cramping.

“Ka!”

Shi Yan cut off his right hand and said coldly, “I count screaming as bullshit.”

“How dare you! How dare you to do this to me! I’m one of the Gu Family! You’ll be sorry! You’ll die a very ugly death!” the warrior screamed.

“Ka!”

With one more move, the warrior’s foot was also cut off by Shi Yan, who kept asking, “Why are you killing these people?”

“I don’t know! I know nothing! I was just following orders. We were ordered to kill 300 residents at a particular moment! Besides this, I know nothing!” The man on the ground screamed fearfully. “Many others like me received the same order. We don’t know why, we really don’t!”

“Ok, that’s the truth.” Shi Yan nodded and cut off the man’s head. Then he stood up and kicked the five warriors’ bodies into the river, one by one.

Throwing away the dagger and washing the blood off his arm, Shi Yan continued to go South.

On his way, Shi Yan found that many bodies were piling up by the rivers, in sealed caves, and in deep pits. Their souls were all acting abnormally.

All the souls were of common folk. Hundreds of thousands of them were killed by the warriors of Gu Family.

Shi Yan had killed another three groups of warriors of the Gu Family as he traveled. He absorbed their qi but wasn’t able to obtain any other information from them.
