Chapter 177 - 117: Mr. Gu Has Arrived
BUZZ...
The moment it was activated, the Token began to vibrate ceaselessly.
He connected his Spirit to it and read the messages.
"Help! Help! A peak first-order Demon Fiend has broken through the passage at Dawang Village in Hongye County! Urgent reinforcements needed!"
"Haha, I killed a late-stage first-order Nine-headed Serpent! The effects of its gallbladder are incredible!"
"Old Li, a late-stage first-order Nine-headed Serpent with only two heads isn’t a ’nine-headed’ serpent. Try to be more precise next time you post."
"Screw you, guy above me!"
"..."
"Requesting aid at Little Sea Lake, Changhong County! Requesting aid at Little Sea Lake, Changhong County! A young Demon Dragon just broke through here! Requesting support!"
"Dammit, Old Wang was killed in battle! That damned Bone Demon!"
"..."
Message after message from the past three days rapidly popped up from the Guerrilla General Token.
After listening to them all, Gu Zheng gained a general understanding of the four northern prefectures.
The four prefectures north of Fengzhou were Linjiang, Silver, Dahong, and Kaiyuan.
Silver and Kaiyuan each had one third-order passage.
Lijiang Prefecture mainly had first-order passages.
Dahong Prefecture originally had two second-order passages, and now two more had opened.
With four second-order passages and three first-order ones, the surging Demon Fiends had practically filled every corner of Dahong Prefecture, running rampant everywhere.
Currently, the situation was most severe in Dahong Prefecture.
Its six county seats and one Prefecture City had all suffered countless casualties.
BUZZ...
As he was listening, the Guerrilla General Token vibrated again.
Gu Zheng immediately received and read the message.
"Urgent reinforcements needed! Urgent reinforcements needed!"
"Second-order passage at Old Dragon Bay, ten li west of Huangliu County in Dahong Prefecture! Urgent support needed!"
"This is the passage’s Garrison commander, Yu Quandong! A group of early-stage second-order Demon Fiends just broke through! We urgently need reinforcements!!"
’A group of second-order Demon Fiends?’
Gu Zheng’s sharp brows rose. He channeled his Divine Wondrous power and replied through the Token.
"I’m on my way."
He paused, then added, "My name is Gu Zheng! A newly promoted Thousand Households and Guerrilla General!"
With that said, he pushed off with his toes and leaped into the air.
Unleashing his Divine Wondrous power, he flew toward Dahong Prefecture at extreme speed.
On his way here, Gu Zheng had already studied the map of the four northern prefectures and the layout of their subordinate counties.
Huangliu County was in the southwestern part of Dahong Prefecture.
Gu Zheng flew from Kaiyuan Prefecture, heading northwest and then west.
While he was still en route, the Guerrilla General Token vibrated again.
He read the incoming message.
"Mr. Gu is coming? Excellent! Yu, you just hold on! Once Mr. Gu arrives, those fresh second-order Demon Fiends are dead meat!"
’Who’s this?’
’So confident in me?’
Gu Zheng blinked.
He didn’t slow down, continuing his explosive sprint and leaving a series of low rumbles and a long trail of disturbed air in his wake.
Half a minute later, Gu Zheng arrived at Old Dragon Bay, ten li west of Huangliu County in Dahong Prefecture.
It had once been a river bend with a plentiful flow of water.
But now, all that remained was a depression filled with pockmarked craters, and corpses scattered everywhere.
There were human corpses and Demon Fiend corpses.
On the eastern bank of the river bend, in the mountain forest, a group of Demon Suppression Guards was currently dashing about, dodging and fleeing.
Chasing them were nine two-meter-tall rabbits.
That’s right, rabbits!
Nine massive, powerfully built Violent Rabbits with bulging muscles, black energy coiling around their bodies, and blood-red eyes!
"BANG!" "BANG!" "BANG!"
Explosions and cracking sounds echoed continuously from the forest on the bank.
The ones attacking were the nine Violent Rabbits. The aura of second-order Demon Fiends emanated from them as they charged forward, pulverizing trees and boulders with a single punch.
These nine Violent Rabbits were truly violent and frenzied. They didn’t use their claws, but their fists.
SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!
Any Demon Suppression Guard they struck was instantly blasted into a bloody rain of shredded flesh.
SWOOSH!
WHOOSH-BOOM!
A sound of tearing air suddenly erupted.
Gu Zheng’s figure was still a blur as his fist shot out ahead of him.
Empowered by his Furious Fist Intent, a massive Fist Seal dove down and slammed into one of the Violent Rabbits.
"ROAR—"
The Violent Rabbit sensed it and had just raised its head to look at the sky when—BOOM!—its large body exploded, turning into a bloody rain of shredded flesh.
"ROAR!"
"ROAR—!"
Alerted by the sudden turn of events and the sound, the other Violent Rabbits stopped their attacks and looked to the sky.
SWOOSH!
Gu Zheng dove down, moving so fast he was just an afterimage.
"SHHIIING—"
The light of his blade flashed, tearing through the air and leaving a thread-like cut.
SHINK! SHINK! SHINK!
A series of soft, strange sounds echoed as Gu Zheng’s figure weaved through several of the Violent Rabbits.
"SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!"
Shredded flesh flew into the air as a bloody rain spattered down.
These few Violent Rabbits were instantly diced into pieces. They died without even a scream, their shattered bodies falling to the ground.
Spirit Capturing!
