Within the King's Domain, all the Ratfolk seemed to slow down countless times in Zhao Fu's eyes, leaving a series of afterimages. Even so, these Ratfolk were still incredibly fast, appearing in front of Zhao Fu in an instant. They waved their hands, and even in the darkness, their hidden swords gleamed with a chilling light, sending shivers down one's spine, as they aimed for Zhao Fu's neck.
Fortunately, Zhao Fu was no longer the same as before. Although the Ratfolk was powerful, he was not on the same level as Zhao Fu. Just as the first Ratfolk appeared in front of him, Zhao Fu raised the Heavenly Demon Sword in his hand and slashed down from above.
A flash of sword light, and the first Ratfolk gushed blood from his chest. His entire body was split in two from shoulder to abdomen, the fragments mixed with his internal organs falling to the ground and staining it red.
Immediately, the second Ratfolk appeared to Zhao Fu's right. Zhao Fu gripped his sword and swung it to the right. Another flash of sword light appeared, and the second Ratfolk's body was split in two, with its fragments and internal organs scattered on the ground.
Then, a third Ratfolk appeared behind Zhao Fu. Zhao Fu turned around and thrust the Heavenly Demon Sword, the blade piercing directly into the Ratfolk's heart. The terrifying power of the Heavenly Demon Sword shredded the Ratfolk's chest in an instant.
But then came the fourth, the fifth, the sixth...
Beneath the hood, the eyes of countless Ratfolk were unusually resolute, showing no fear. Even in the face of death, they charged forward without uttering a single scream.
This was something they held onto. I remember when I placed my hand on that stone tablet, a sentence echoed in my mind, "I am an assassin!"
They are willing to do anything to kill their target, because only by killing Zhao Fu can the Ratfolk village be safe and return to normal, and can the lives of every Ratfolk be better. This is what they believe in, and therefore they are fearless of death.
The Ratfolk assassins were incredibly fast and cunning, with every move designed to kill, targeting vital areas like Zhao Fu's eyes, neck, and heart.
Their movements seemed impossible to detect with the naked eye. A series of dark figures appeared before Zhao Fu, accompanied by two streaks of white light, but were instantly killed by Zhao Fu.
These Ratfolk assassins were incredibly strong, like ghosts, omnipresent and insidious. Their hidden blades could injure you if you weren't careful. Under the attacks of countless Ratfolk Zhao Fu felt his hair stand on end.
At this moment, a Ratfolk assassin appeared directly in front of Zhao Fu, his hidden blade flashing white light as he thrust towards Zhao Fu's heart. Zhao Fu had no choice but to dodge to the side.
Having just dodged the attack, another Ratfolk assassin appeared to Zhao Fu's left, brandishing his hidden blade to slit Zhao Fu's neck. Zhao Fu could only raise his foot and kick the Ratfolk assassin away with all his might.
But the next moment, another Ratfolk assassin appeared behind Zhao Fu, raising his hidden blade to slash at the back of Zhao Fu's head. Just as he was about to succeed, Zhao Fu turned around and unleashed a black sword aura, directly cleaving the Ratfolk away. Under the powerful sword aura, the Ratfolk's body was instantly reduced to countless pieces in mid-air.
The Ratfolk assassins were exceptionally skilled. Although Zhao Fu seemed to be in grave danger, overall, this group of Ratfolk couldn't harm Zhao Fu. If these Ratfolk charged forward, there would only be one outcome: death!
One by one, bright red flowers bloomed, and one by one, Life withered. The original two hundred or so Ratfolk assassins were now reduced to only thirty. Countless mutilated corpses littered the ground, and blood completely stained the ground red, making it look like a hellish place, and it also emitted a pungent smell of blood.
The Ratfolk hadn't expected Zhao Fu to be so powerful. At this moment, Zhang Dahu arrived with his soldiers. Seeing that the plan had completely failed, the Ratfolk sent 10 Ratfolk assassins to entangle Zhao Fu, while ordering 20 others to cover their return to the village.
Zhao Fu stood calmly in place, watching the ten Ratfolk assassins who had attacked from different directions and surrounded him.
A sword is swung out!
A black sword light flashed like a crescent moon, piercing through the bodies of ten Ratfolk assassins. The ten Ratfolk assassins were sent flying backward, spitting out large amounts of blood. Their internal organs were shredded, and they died instantly.
Zhao Fu stood there, sword in hand, as bright red blood dripped slowly down the Heavenly Demon Sword.
suddenly!
The blood on the ground was controlled by an invisible force, flowing towards the Heavenly Demon Sword. The Heavenly Demon Sword, like a wind cave, absorbed all the blood, emitting a crisp sword cry—this was the pleasure of killing.
"Master... hurry... hurry... continue... I want more!"
Upon hearing the soft moans in his mind, Zhao Fu was speechless. Looking at the fleeing Ratfolk, he slowly raised the Heavenly Demon Sword and pointed it at them.
A massive demonic phantom with enormous fleshy wings emerged from the sword and flew toward the thirty-odd Ratfolk who were fleeing. The enormous demonic phantom was very fast and swept right past the thirty Ratfolk.
at once!
All the Ratfolk stopped moving at that moment, and then Ratfolk bodies shriveled up, as if they had lost all moisture, turning into dried corpses and falling to the ground dead.
This is the Heavenly Demon Feast, which can summon a huge demonic phantom that can devour the essence of flesh and blood. This essence of flesh and blood is then absorbed by the sword. This is one of the many special abilities of the Heavenly Demon Sword, and it is also what makes an epic weapon so powerful.
"Master! Hurry up... I want more... It's not enough!"
Suddenly, he heard the Heavenly Demon's panting voice in his mind again. Zhao Fu immediately put it back into the King's Ring. The Heavenly Demon's somewhat angry voice echoed in his mind, "Hmph! Human, you won't get what I like by doing this."
Zhao Fu didn't care and simply ignored the Heavenly Demon's words; after all, this guy's attitude could change in an instant.
At this moment, Zhang Dahu arrived with his soldiers. Although many things seemed to have happened, it had actually passed quite quickly. "Your Highness! I deserve to die for being a step too late!"
Looking at the corpses on the ground, all of whom had been dealt with by Zhao Fu, Zhang Dahu realized that it was unacceptable for the king to fight while his subjects enjoyed the spoils. So, he knelt down with several other generals to beg for forgiveness.
"Alright! Get up, everyone," Zhao Fu said, not caring much about the matter.
Subsequently, Zhao Fu ordered his men to surround the Ratfolk village again. Previously, a few Ratfolk had wanted to kill Zhao Fu, leaving Zhao Fu troops leaderless and causing them to collapse. However, to their surprise, Zhao Fu survived while they died.
The Ratfolk village, now out of control, descended into chaos. Countless Ratfolk looked on in fear as they faced Zhao Fu's soldiers who were surrounding them. Zhao Fu was trying to persuade them to surrender, and this time, without any surprises, all the Ratfolk chose to surrender. Zhao Fu then officially took over the Ratfolk village.
Then, Zhao Fu entered the Ratfolk village and immediately came to the entrance of a ruin. There was a white stone tablet, two meters high. After countless years of erosion, the surface of the stone tablet was somewhat uneven, and there were some characters on it. Although Zhao Fu did not recognize them, he could understand their meaning at a glance.
"Walk in darkness, serve the Light; All Things Are Void, all is permitted; under the hidden sword, all are equal!"
