Chapter 80: Who Agrees, Who Disagrees

Damn thing!

Who do you think you are!

Just as Chen Chong’s fierce, howling, and extremely violent punch was about to smash into his face, the Blood General’s expression twisted intensely. Feeling Chen Chong’s silent contempt, the shame and killing intent that had been building in his chest finally erupted completely! Now that his internal injuries were mostly healed and he had recovered at least seventy percent of his strength, the muscles in his power ful arm tensed. He clenched his fist like a spear, turning it into a man-eating python, instantly blasting through the air as it fiercely thrust forward!

Clang!

Their arms collided, like a cannon shell exploding. Amid the erupting airflow that blew in all directions, the ground where they clashed suddenly collapsed, blasting out an irregular shallow pit several meters in diameter.

In this fierce collision, Chen Chong’s figure did not move or waver, while the Blood General’s facial muscles twitched violently. His whole body shook as he staggered backward heavily.

Having gained the upper hand in the clash without any suspense, Chen Chong pressed his advantage relentlessly. Without any pause, he lifted his left arm and swung it, once again stirring up a howling gale of wind as he smashed it down violently towards the Blood General’s head!

Amid the pain of his violently shaking body, he sensed the incoming gust. A feeling of extreme danger surged in the Blood General’s heart, but in that lightning-fast moment, he had no time to dodge. In this instant between life and death, his expression fierce, he could only raise his arms, crossing them.

Bang!

The ground shook violently. Great plumes of dust and smoke were blown in all directions by the explosive fist wind. The Blood General forcefully blocked Chen Chong’s ferocious blow. The terrifying force streamed from the point of impact into his entire body; his muscles and bones trembled wildly, and then a mouthful of blood sprayed out!

His arm bones were cracked. The five viscera and six bowels inside his body, which hadn’t fully healed, showed signs of rupturing again. In a direct head-on clash, the Blood General, who had recovered seventy percent of his power, fell to the disadvantage without any suspense and was wounded again.

This monster! Why can’t I block him!

The enemy before him was like a steel tyrannosaurus that knew no fatigue or pain. Under this purely brutal suppression, skills became a joke, and all previous plans and calculations were overturned. In that instant, the Blood General’s expression became ferocious, his heart completely chilled with fear.

A faint feeling arose within him: even if he were in perfect condition, he probably wouldn’t be a match for Chen Chong.

“Chen Chong, wait! There’s no irreconcilable conflict between us. There’s no need for a life-or-death struggle!”

The Blood General suppressed the shaking in his organs and quickly said:

“You and I can join forces, as long as…”

Chen Chong laughed wildly, interrupting him: “Who said there’s no conflict? I want your mansion, your territory, everything you own!”

Chen Chong would never give the Blood General another chance to escape. Without any pause, he immediately took a step forward. A large patch of earth and stone was shaken up by his stomp. Amid the roaring wind, his iron fists hammered down in succession!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sounds of massive collisions rang out one after another. Under fists that struck like heavy cannon fire, the Blood General’s eyes seemed about to burst from their sockets. He had no chance to dodge and could only be forced to take the blows head-on. He fought while retreating, his entire body’s tendons, bones, and muscles making unbearable cracking sounds.

Damn it!

Unable to shake off Chen Chong’s wild and fierce assault no matter what, the Blood General’s body shook, his five viscera feeling as if they were about to split. Yet he had to grit his teeth and desperately squeeze out every ounce of strength from his body to resist the heavy strikes of Chen Chong’s fists and feet.

The two figures performed the most primal, purest violence. As they clashed, they continuously demolished wall after wall, like two giant beasts rampaging and colliding through the dilapidated buildings!

By this time, hearing the series of enormous sounds, Awakeners like Gu Jun and Zhang Long had already gathered together, bringing dozens of underlings as they hurried towards the place where the two were fighting.

Boom, boom, boom—

Ahead, a large amount of dust and smoke rose into the air, accompanied by muffled booms, as if some prehistoric beast was running amok. This made Gu Jun and the others startled:

“This commotion… it’s the General!”

Aside from the Blood General and Chen Chong, no one else could cause such astonishing disturbance and destruction. However, after exchanging glances, the five Awakeners had absolutely no intention of getting closer. Instead, they immediately kicked off the walls and scrambled onto the rooftops. From this high vantage point, they could see all the houses and alleyways within a radius of several dozen meters.

In their line of sight, the dust and smoke in this housing area swirled back and forth. They vaguely saw two shadows constantly chasing and colliding within the haze. Wherever they passed, the air howled, earth and stone cracked, and walls collapsed. The scene was astonishing to the extreme!

“Monsters… monsters…”

“Is this the combat level of Transcendents?”

“It seems like one is running? Which one is the General?”

“Forget the General, how did Chen Chong reach this level?”

It was practically their first time witnessing a battle of this destructive magnitude. In the eyes of the Awakeners like Gu Jun and the underlings who had also climbed onto the rooftops to watch, there was nothing but deep shock and awe. They also found it utterly unbelievable that Chen Chong had displayed the strength to contend with the Blood General!

“Everyone, do not move rashly! Continue observing!”

Where the two shadows passed, dust and smoke filled the air everywhere, making it impossible to tell who was who. Unable to judge the situation for a moment, the Awakeners like Gu Jun had flickering expressions. Each harbored their own thoughts but maintained the same tacit understanding, ordering the underlings to just watch.

When gods fight, mortals suffer. The fates of Tie Shan and Li Bao had clearly told them that this was absolutely not a battle they were qualified to join. An open area would have been one thing, but in complex street warfare like this, they were not of much use against such monsters and could only observe the situation first.

Boom, boom, boom—

A series of impacts tore through the air. The loud noise pounded on everyone’s hearts like a heavy hammer, and the sounds grew closer and closer, seemingly approaching the direction of the underlings.

On the rooftops, the Awakeners like Gu Jun focused their eyes, realizing the two figures rampaging and colliding were heading their way. They immediately shouted lowly: “Everyone pay…”

Boom!

At that moment, amid a particularly violent sound, as if struck by some terrifying force, a human figure suddenly shot out from the dust cloud at nearly a 90-degree angle, trailing a long tail of dust as it was hurled into the air howling!

Everyone was uniformly stunned.

With a loud thud of flesh impacting a surface, this figure in their sight plummeted down, crashing onto the roof of a low building not ten meters away from Gu Jun and the others.

Huh?

In that instant, the five Awakeners—Gu Jun, Zhang Long, Qian Xu, Sun Yimao, and Wang Qianlie—plus the dozens of underlings who had climbed up, all felt their eyelids twitch as they cast their gazes over in unison.

This human figure was a mangled mess of blood and flesh, as if pulled out of a pool of blood, completely unrecognizable. Furthermore, its upper body was twisted in a bizarre posture, as if all the bones in its body had completely shattered, a truly shocking sight!

“Save…”

On the rooftop at this moment, the mangled figure seemed to still have one last breath. It lifted its neck with extreme difficulty and seemed to see Zhang Long and the others. With an effort, it raised its relatively intact left arm, emitting a weak sound from its throat:

“Save me…”

That was… the Blood General.

He was begging for help.

Right now, the Blood General’s majesty and cruelty had completely vanished. Forced into a series of head-on power clashes with Chen Chong, who knew how many of his muscles and bones had broken, and his internal five viscera and six bowels were utterly shattered, leaving him with only his last breath. If not for the life force of a Transcendent sustaining him, he would have died from such severe injuries long ago.

At the same time, almost everyone also recognized the identity of the half-dead person on the rooftop. All the hairs on their bodies stood on end as they were scared out of their wits, their minds completely unable to think!

Boom!

In the next instant, Chen Chong, his body stained with blood, wildly domineering like a black iron tyrannosaurus, burst out from the dust cloud. In a single step, he leaped onto the rooftop, arriving beside the Blood General who was on his last breath.

“Chen Chong… don’t kill me…”

At this moment, the Blood General’s former cruelty was gone without a trace. He lay on the ground like a dead dog, his gaze filled with extreme terror:

“I can be your subordinate, I can be your dog, I…”

“I refuse!”

Crack! Chen Chong fiercely stomped his foot onto the Blood General’s chest, caving in his already shattered ribcage completely, freezing his resentful and terrified gaze forever within his scarlet eyes!

He was dead.

The brutal dictator of the Crimson Territory, the Blood General whom everyone feared like a tiger, was dead. Before dying, he didn’t even have the strength to voice his inner resentment and curses before Chen Chong stomped him to death.

Ptooey.

At this time, Chen Chong turned his head and saw the Awakeners and numerous underlings standing dumbstruck on the rooftops. He spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. Gripping the Blood General’s neck, he lifted the mangled corpse and revealed an especially ferocious grin.

“Starting today, I am your boss! All of the Blood General’s property, including your lives, belong to me!”

His fierce gaze swept over every face on the rooftops and on the ground as he sneered:

“Who agrees, who disagrees?”
