Chapter 183 - 176 Silkworm Killing (2/5)
Chapter 176: Silkworm Assassination
In the following days, the people of the Mao Family experienced what seemed an unending nightmare.
Every day, someone was assassinated by Zhou Heng; some died in inconceivable ways. Even though the four Heaven-Opening Realm experts personally searched the area and confirmed there were no ambushes, people were still killed, their heads grotesquely severed, and blood spilled everywhere.
He was like a ghost!
No one knew what methods Zhou Heng used, but the people of the Mao Family realized that no place was safe anymore!
Fifty-two, forty-one, twenty-nine, fifteen!
With each passing day, the number of people in the Mao Family greatly reduced. Zhou Heng always found an opportunity to harvest their lives.
The situation had shifted from them wanting to find Zhou Heng to retrieve the Spirit Core, to whether they could bring any survivors back. The four Heaven-Opening Realm experts, not fearing for their lives, couldn’t protect the others. Their faces had long lost any semblance of dignity, and they grimaced bitterly all the time.
To be honest, they didn’t really regard those underlings highly. In the eyes of Heaven-Opening Realm experts, even warriors of the Land Cleaving Realm were mere ants, let alone those at the Initial Separation Realm. But now, Zhou Heng was figuratively urinating on their heads. How could they tolerate this humiliation?
If it were said that the four white-haired men were just angry, then the others were utterly terrified, their minds in disarray, each one a ghost of their former selves. If not for the strong suppression by the four Heaven-Opening Realm experts, deserters would have inevitably appeared.
