Chapter 608: Purchasing (4)

In the middle of the huge stone cavern, a large number of giants were imprisoned; around the cavern, numerous large openings had been chiseled, with extremely thick iron bars installed on them, and countless silhouettes swayed behind the iron bars that flickered with faint electric light.

At a glance, at least a hundred openings had been chiseled around the stone cavern; each opening extended hundreds of zhang deep into the mountain, then branched outward, forming an enormous cavern.

Behind the iron bars, Wu Tie saw a familiar figure.

Horned, sturdy ox people; hairy, ferocious-faced werewolves; short, stout dwarves like iron lumps; small, sneaky rat people; winged dragon people with fierce aura…

They were the main peoples of the underground world, each in tattered clothes, everyone bearing obvious wounds.

The weaker ones could move freely; those somewhat stronger wore heavy shackles; and those whose strength had clearly reached the Life Pool Realm, like the giants, had metal rings around their necks and were chained to metal posts.

At this moment, every iron barricade was packed with people.

Many shackled strongmen crowded together, roaring hoarsely at Zhao Quan and loudly cursing Zhao Bao.

Especially seeing Zhao Bao there wildly beating Zhao Quan, even more werewolves excitedly howled to the sky, emitting a mournful, long wolf howl.

The soldiers in the cavern instantly grew tense, waving specially made long poles whose tips flashed with blinding electric light; they rushed to the openings, and through the iron bars they wildly poked and stabbed at the prisoners.

Electric light flickered, thunder boomed, countless prisoners' bodies flickered with electricity as they shouted curses and collapsed to the ground.

Suddenly, near Wu Tie, in a cavern opening, an ox warrior over three meters tall roared, his whole body spewing white heat as his right arm strangely elongated.

With a 'crack' of joint dislocation, the ox warrior's arm extended from the metal bar of the iron bar, stretching to five or six meters, and he seized a guard's head.

Amid the angry shouts and cries of countless soldiers, the ox warrior hauled the guard to the iron bar, his immense strength pulling and distorting the guard's body, which visibly twisted and deformed, about to be dragged through the narrow bars into the cavern.

More soldiers ran to the opening, dropping their electric spears and drawing sharp polearms and spears, ready to kill the ox warrior through the iron bars.

Wu Tie let out a soft hum.

A soft hum like thunder shook the entire cavern, making the earth tremble and the mountains sway.

Inside the cavern, all soldiers vomited blood, their bodies violently shaken, then collapsed helplessly to the ground, becoming like a puddle of mud; aside from ragged breathing, they could hardly move at all.

Wu Tie sneered: "What are you doing? What are you doing? These people, I will take them all, I have taken them all… Humph, they are my property; who gave you the gall of a heavenly dog to meddle with my things? Who is it? Is it you, Zhao Bao? Or you, Zhao Quan?"

With a low growl, Wu Jin's body suddenly swelled, accompanied by the 'clang' of his heavy armor, expanding to about ten zhang tall; he gripped an ancient-style heavy shield in his left hand and a great axe in his right, strode to Zhao Bao's side, and stamped him to the ground with a foot.

"Zhao Bao, your men dare offend the prince… go to die!" Wu Jin's eyes turned red, he raised the great axe and brought it down on Zhao Bao's head.

These underground prisoners… in Wu Jin's heart, they are brothers, they are comrades; they once fought side by side with the former Great Jin Divine Kingdom in bloodshed.

What lay before him was enough to make Wu Jin feel killing intent toward Zhao Bao and Zhao Quan.

But Wu Jin also had his pride; Zhao Bao was a First Rank General of the Qingqiu Divine Kingdom, and chopping off his head caused Wu Jin no psychological pressure.

As for Zhao Quan… a despicable wretch like a pig or dog, Wu Jin even disdained to deal with him personally… thus, the situation clearly called for killing Zhao Quan to settle the score, yet Wu Jin scorned to deal with Zhao Quan.

So, only Zhao Bao could be unlucky!

The great axe fell.

Although this great axe was not the divine weapon Wu Jin obtained in the Nüwa Ancestral Land, it was also the strongest heavenly dao divine weapon selected by Wu Tie after scouring the Nine Provinces and looting the treasuries of many great clans; forged by the ancestor of a duke family tens of thousands of years ago, who exhausted his heart and blood to craft it, then refined and empowered by generations of clansmen, its power absolute, nearly comparable to innate spirit weapons.

The great axe flashed with cold light, instantly reaching the top of Zhao Bao's head.

Wu Tie merely sneered.

Zhao Bao… just kill him, like slaughtering a pig or dog.

Back then, Wu Tie also participated in the assault on the Demon-Suppressing City's defenses; he personally took part in the siege of the First Demon-Suppressing City. Since we are all old enemies, there's no need for that 'deep affection, mutual affection' act—be rough, be violent; when it's time to kill, kill.

Zhao Bao screamed shrilly; a talisman on his body burst, a mass of green light enveloping him.

The axe's edge flashed, and the green light instantly shattered.

Several strong beams of light flashed from the side; the few deputy commanders who followed Zhao Bao here sprang into action. They were all of the Zhao clan, also high-level Fetal Storage Realm cultivators, their weapons all six‑refined or nine‑refined immortal arms, striking with full force and immense power.

Wu Jin ignored these deputy commanders.

His body had received the Human Emperor's inheritance and he cultivated the Wu clan's methods, making his physique extraordinarily sturdy. Without mentioning supernatural transformations, speaking only of physical defense and absolute strength, Wu Jin's power even surpassed that of peers who practiced the Nine Turns Mystic Technique.

The Wu clan's physical body is inherently the strongest existence between heaven and earth.

These deputy commanders didn't even possess a single heavenly dao divine weapon; breaking through Wu Jin's skin was difficult for them.

Zhao Bao howled hysterically as the axe blade inched toward his skull; at this moment his thoughts raced faster than ever, and he could clearly see the air ripples caused by each tiny movement of the axe's edge.

His divine fetus trembled violently and then ignited.

At unprecedented speed, a ripple of divine soul surged from his divine fetus; Zhao Bao exerted himself fully, sending a thread of consciousness simultaneously to Wu Jin and Wu Tie.

The great axe halted abruptly, barely touching Zhao Bao's scalp.

"Fold?" Wu Jin chuckled vaguely.

Several immortal weapons' flowing light heavily struck Wu Jin's body, cracking his armor in several places, but his physique didn't budge an inch.

Wu Tie nodded firmly: "Zhao Bao, fold, huh—this is what you yourself promised; don't say I'm taking advantage of you… your dog's life for my fold… well, I've made a killing… your life isn't worth this much."

Zhao Bao was so angry his face creased with countless folds.
