Chapter 704 607: Slaughtering All Around
Seeing these prisoners, Zhao Yi suddenly remembered that the Shepherd treated him quite well, but he was also very clear.
The Shepherd was also very cruel to others, so his feelings were somewhat complex as he looked at these people and then said.
"I don't know if you are good people or bad, but I hope you understand one thing, the protagonist is not a good person at all. If you continue to follow him,
you will have no good end. I hope you can understand this."
"It was he who saved us, and we pledged our allegiance to him, so we accept whatever the outcome may be.
Everything in the universe cannot escape the two words of cause and effect."
At this point, Zhao Yi knew there was no need for further dialogue, so he directly launched an attack on them.
Zhao Yi didn't have a suitable weapon, so he directly emitted a golden light from his palms that could turn into chains to bind the opponent.
At the same time, it could also blind the opponent's vision, and these people, being long in the energy source, had more evil energy and less righteous energy in them.
Using this to handle them was the most suitable.
At the start, the protagonist did not join the battle; he wanted to see how much Zhao Yi's strength had increased. After observing from the sidelines for nearly fifteen minutes,
the protagonist realized that Zhao Yi's strength had not decreased due to fighting within the origin, but rather had become even more formidable because of it.
This was completely unexpected for the protagonist; he stared at the opponent with eyes full of increasing killing intent, and a nearby prisoner said.
"Zhao Yi is very formidable, with many types of magic, which was completely beyond our previous expectations. I think you should prepare to retreat.
It is not an easy thing for us to kill the opponent, and I hope you can understand."
"Why are you saying such demoralizing words? I don't believe that with our power we can't handle him."
The protagonist indeed felt reluctant, but at this moment the screams around brought him back to reality, as there were already neurotic prisoners killed by Zhao Yi.
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal further transformed into a dragon, directly absorbing the spiritual energy of these prisoners, making it stronger and spewing floods.
Where the flood passed, spiritual energy was devoured.
Everyone started to flee in all directions. At this moment, as Zhao Yi was being dazed, the protagonist directly charged over, intending to capture the rebel leader first.
Seeing this situation, the protagonist immediately launched a counterattack, but because he was at this moment flustered, he was completely unable to withstand Zhao Yi's formidable attack.
The prisoners around were also isolated by the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, and in the chaos, the protagonist fell to the ground. Seeing this, Zhao Yi directly reached for the opponent's neck.
Just as Zhao Yi's hand was about to grab the protagonist's neck, a gleam of light flashed.
The protagonist's short sword slid towards Zhao Yi's arm but was easily dodged, and Zhao Yi kicked the protagonist away, throwing him into a distant rock.
The stones scattered everywhere, and some prisoners hurriedly helped the protagonist up, while others looked at Zhao Yi in awe.
At this moment, Zhao Yi looked coldly at these people, as if he were a Celestial God.
"So, if you still want to continue fighting with me, then let's see who lives and who dies. If you think it's enough,
then today's battle should end here. I don't want to entangle with you any further, as this kind of environment is harmful to us all."
Zhao Yi wanted to end the battle and not continue to pester in this place because he knew very well that even if he captured the protagonist, the opponent would still use others to threaten him.
At that time, he would still have to release him, so it was better to end the battle now to save time and energy in finding an exit. Hearing this, the protagonist was a bit unwilling as he initially thought that by pretending to be injured,
he could ambush successfully, but instead was ambushed by Zhao Yi. He wanted to rush up but gathered his courage several times but couldn't move his legs in the end.
"Today, you're lucky. Don't let me see you again; if I do, I definitely won't spare you."
The protagonist said this while disappearing with the prisoners, and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal wanted to chase, but was stopped by Zhao Yi.
"Don't chase him anymore; it's meaningless. Let's quickly find an exit instead."
Zhao Yi conveyed his thoughts to the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, and after hearing this, it also found it very reasonable, and gazed at the desolate origin.
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal sighed, with an unconcealed discontent:
"If it weren't for the hostages in their hands, today we could have taken care of this guy. It's just that this guy's luck is incredibly good."
"Forget it, no point in saying these sulking words here. Let's keep moving, and find the exit as soon as possible."
Zhao Yi didn't want to speak words of complaint; in his view, these words were pointless and would only worsen his mood.
And the Nine Dragon Jade Seal also said no more. The two then continued to move forward, walking for almost several hours, still surrounded by desolation.
Zhao Yi felt a little dispirited in his heart, and just as the two were becoming somewhat desperate, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal suddenly spotted a light in the distance.
"Do you see, Master? There's a light on the distant mountain; we can go there to take a look.
This light is very pure, not like the work of a villain."
This caught Zhao Yi's attention; he nodded and then sped up towards the light source.
At this time, the protagonist returned, and looking at the long river, he said to a prisoner:
"You mean to say, as long as we go down river, we can leave the origin, have you ever tried this?"
"We have not tried, but we have heard the Shepherd and other lords mention it, that's how we know about this method.
I think we should leave first, or else Zhao Yi will come back and we'll have to fight another pointless battle."
The prisoner began to urge, which made the protagonist a bit dissatisfied, but he also knew well that these people were all his confidants now.
Moreover, being within the origin, even after signing a contract and making an oath, it doesn't mean they wouldn't rebel.
So, swallowing the words of complaint, they reached the river's edge with several prisoners going into the river first.
After a cup of tea's time, there was no abnormality in the river.
The protagonist finally dared to go into the river, with the other prisoners following one after another, drifting downstream and away from the Cosmic Origin.
At this time, the protagonist also reached the light source, and they discovered it was the light radiating from a Treasure Tower.
"I don't know why, but after seeing this Treasure Tower, I feel a sense of familiarity."
Zhao Yi's words made the Nine Dragon Jade Seal pause in surprise.
"Could it be that you, Master, fell for this Treasure Tower? That's a bit too bizarre."
Before the Nine Dragon Jade Seal could finish speaking, Zhao Yi threw it out.
