Chapter 965 – Eating human
An Zheng’s eyes swept across the few people’s faces, his eyes were like blades. An expert like Xu Zhe, Zhang Ge could not help but be shocked by An Zheng’s gaze. The few generals who were unstoppable on the battlefield were frightened by this gaze.
Cao Cheng knew that if he continued to fight, his momentum would be completely swept away. There was not only killing intent in that young man’s eyes, but also a decisive, ruthless, and indisputable attitude.
Those who were not aigher level could not have such a gaze.
Cao Cheng coughed and said: “Cough cough... There wasn’t much time, it was urgent. The reason why I am doing this is because it concerns royal father, so I cannot help but be cautious. The Soaring Dragon Platform is full of danger and danger. I am responsible for myself, for my father, and for all of you. ”
An Zheng replied. “That is to say, we are only doing this for your majesty, for Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb, what does it have to do with us?”
Cao Cheng was slightly surprised: “What other reason do we need for you to do what we want?”
Du Shoushou, “Hahahaha, we are not your sons, nor are we your subjects. You can point fingers at your subjects, but don’t do this to us. ”
Xiahou Yuan was just about to retort in anger, “His Majesty told you to do something because he thought highly of you.” The words of the emperor are the imperial edict. You dare to disobey it? ”
Du Shoushou: “Damn it, what does your family matter to us? I still say, we are not your sons, and I don’t think your sons will listen to you. We are not your father. If it were your father, he would unconditionally care for his son. ”
Xia Hou was about to attack, and Du Shoushou also stepped forward: “Come.”
Xia Hou Gang subconsciously stopped in his tracks, and turned around to glance at Cao Cheng.
Cao Cheng said with a dark expression: “What do you want?”
An Zheng said: “It’s not what we want, it’s what you want. Tell us the truth about the Soaring Dragon Platform, otherwise we would not have entered. “With these useless things of yours, entering would only result in death.”
“I have said that I want to hear news of royal father.”
An Zheng shrugged his shoulders: “That’s why everything inside the Soaring Dragon Platform belongs to me. You only need to receive news from your royal father, and we will take away everything else that we want.”
Cao Cheng’s expression changed, “Are you talking to us?”
Du Shoushou: “Are you deaf? Do I need to tell you again? ”
Cao Cheng: “No one has ever dared to speak like this in front of us before. Have you ever considered the consequences of saying these words?”
An Zheng’s body suddenly moved. Although his cultivation had fallen to a very low realm, his physique was still strong. He teleported in front of Cao Cheng, and Xu Zhe and Zhang Ge who were standing not too far away from him took action at the same time. Both of their arms extended out, but An Zheng’s hand was already grabbing onto Cao Cheng’s neck.
Xu Zhe and Zhang Ge were only two meters away from Cao Cheng, but An Zheng was at least fifteen meters away. An Zheng’s hand was already tightly grabbing onto Cao Cheng’s neck. The two people’s hands were at least two feet away from Cao Cheng.
“Don’t put on airs in front of us.”
An Zheng slowly raised one of his arms. “This is your world, but we are not your people. We will help you find your father, and we will not do anything for you. It’s still the same old saying. If my friend and I are related to each other in the Soaring Dragon Platform, then we will have to bring back that thing. ”
Cao Cheng coughed a few times, “We... I promise you all. ”
An Zheng put Cao Cheng down and turned back. “You are not an emperor in front of us, you are in front of your subjects. We are not in a subject relationship, we are in a partnership relationship. We take what we want, and you get what you want. Also, don’t speak of your loyalty and filial piety … You want to find your father, not because you want to make sure he’s alive, but because you want to make sure he’s dead, right? ”
Cao Cheng’s face became pale, and with a snort, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Two hours later, the team reorganized. No matter how unacceptable An Zheng and the rest’s humiliation was to the Empire, the matter of the Soaring Dragon Arena had to be handled with the participation of An Zheng and the others. With the sachet of the Great Sima of the Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb and the weakness of their own strength, it was impossible for them to enter without An Zheng.
The gathering of almost one thousand eight hundred people was completed, and one thousand five hundred of them were the elite soldiers of Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb. These people were all veterans who had fought in the battlefield for a long time, and each of them had more than one human life on their hands.
The remaining three hundred people, including Xu Zhe, Zhang Ge, and the other generals, as well as some experts of the Martial House were there. What was surprising was that even the emperor, Cao Cheng, had personally come.
The group started to leave the city. Cao Cheng changed into a normal set of embroidered clothes and hid amongst the guards. Inadvertently, a cold glint flashed in the eyes that looked at An Zheng, but after Chen Shaobai saw this, he pulled at An Zheng: “Be careful, we have offended this emperor, he will not let this matter rest.”
An Zheng laughed: “He seems vicious, but his schemes are exposed, nothing much.”
The group left the Imperial City and headed towards the western mountains. An Zheng and the others were at the back intentionally. The group in front of them had been keeping their guards up as they marched forward. It was unknown what they were worried about since they were so close to the Ye City. After exiting the Ye city, An Zheng noticed that there were no villages on both sides of the road. The fields looked fertile, but no one was farming them.
Chen Shaobai lowered his voice and said: “These people are probably plotting something big, and all the citizens of Ye City are kept in the dark. They think this is the safest place to be, but I always feel like it’s terribly creepy here. ”
An Zheng acknowledged: “When we reach the Soaring Dragon Stage, don’t go in. Walk at the back.”
The closer they got, the more An Zheng noticed that the procession beside them had started to approach them consciously. Every single one of their expressions became especially solemn, and there was even a kind of unspeakable fear in their eyes.
Even after entering the mountain, the road was still wide and sturdy. An Zheng kicked the road and found a layer of white ashes and rocks below. A path built like this would not have any major problems for hundreds of years, so it was obvious that the Soaring Dragon Platform would need to be used for a long time.
But why was it always abandoned?
Gradually, an enormous structure appeared in the distance. The size of the Soaring Dragon Platform was incomparably shocking. In the middle of the mountain covered in emerald green, a tall platform rose up from the ground. The dais was of red brick, and the balustrade was a dazzling gold. However, when one got closer, they would see that the walls were mottled with paint. It was clear that no one had been here for a long time.
“You guys go first!”
Xiahou Sheng had just arrived when he coldly said, “Since you wish to take the reward, then you must have the resolve to send yourself to your death.”
An Zheng grabbed onto Xiahou Gang’s arm, “Alright, let’s go to the front, but we need a leader.”
Xiahou Gang’s face instantly paled, losing all color in an instant. He was so frightened that his shoulders began to tremble. An Zheng sneered: “We don’t know the way, so we naturally need a guide. Since General Xiahou has come to notify us, I believe His Majesty the Emperor has the same intention as well.
He grabbed Xiahou, who was so scared that his legs went limp. “If I don’t go, then I won’t!”
An Zheng: “If you don’t want to, then don’t go? We don’t want to go, and we have no other choice, right? ”
An Zheng grabbed his pulse as he dragged him forward. Xiahou Gang howled likig that was being butchered. A great general, who had fought and fought on the battlefield, had been frightened to this extent. Who knew how many secrets were hidden in the Soaring Dragon Station?
An Zheng did not bother about him and pulled Xiahou along as they walked up. Behind the high platform of the Soaring Dragon waalace with 999 steps. When he reached the end of it, Xiahou Chang was so frightened that he went limp and was completely dragged up. On the high platform, they found that the dust was like snow, and the surface was as flat as a mirror. There wasn’t even a shallow mark on it.
Xia Hou had already fainted, An Zheng dragged him all the way to the outside of the palace gate.
Below the stage, a group of people looked up to An Zheng and the others. Cao Cheng shouted loudly: “You can go in, we will personally lead the imperial guards to support you.”
Hearing Cao Cheng’s shout, Xia Hou suddenly woke up and continued to wail, “Your Majesty, please save me. This subject isn’t afraid of death, but this subject doesn’t want to end up like that. Your subject pleads for your grace, your subject. Please spare this subject. ”
Cao Cheng said loudly: “We will take care of your wife and children, you can go without worry.”
An Zheng glanced at Du Shoushou: “You and Ya Kuo are at the back, I will be at the front, and Chen Shaobai will be in the middle to support you.”
Du Shoushou said: “Didn’t you say that we would enter last? Why did you come in first?”
An Zheng said: “You cannot let others take Chen Shaobai’s things.”
The moment the four of them entered the palace with Xiahou Sheng, the wooden door creaked open and the smell of dust wafted toward them from inside. The spiderweb had already sealed the wooden door. When he pushed it open, it was as if he had opened the door to hell. However, An Zheng had actually entered this place more than once, let alone this place.
There seemed to be a faint sound coming from inside, likoisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
Xiahou Gang was truly shocked senseless this time. He was dragged inside like a dead dog by An Zheng, leaving deep scars on the ground. An Zheng took a few steps forward and surveyed his surroundings. There seemed to bair of sinister eyes that were staring fixedly at them within the darkness.
“Everyone, be careful.”
Just as An Zheng said this, a black figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Their reactions were already extremely fast, and their speed was also extremely fast. However, they were still half a step too slow. The black shadow snatched Xiahou Gang from An Zheng’s hands and quickly retreated to a corner of the wall where he squatted down. Lowering his head, he bit into Xiahou Gang’s arm. It was as if he had bitten off a lotus root and snapped it with a crack.
The strange man put half of his arm into his mouth, and after a few moments, he finished it off completely with a ‘kacha kacha’ sound. Then, a pair of claw claws ripped through Xiahou Gang’s stomach, pulling out the bloody intestines and swallowing them one by one.
