Chapter 566 - 248: Half a Lord of the Abyss_1
...
"The new journey is about to begin, brothers, are you ready?"
On the other side of the Old Imperial City, a group of people was gradually assembling.
Most of them were dressed in training clothes, but on the cuffs and collars, you could vaguely see the emblem of a burning flame.
Dongfang Xu stood at the forefront of the team, looking at Huo Xin, Yan Xuehue, Yu Yu, Linghu Fei, Tan Ziping, Zhuang Wenyao, Dong Feng, Gu Miaoyu, and others in the first row, he couldn’t help but remark:
"Have you really thought this through?"
"This decision is not something you can make on a whim. Most of our parents, relatives, friends...are in the Giant Frog Marsh."
"Following Master Han to his hometown, the path ahead isn’t clear and the sense of crisis is already rushing toward us."
"Here, we may be local heroes with an unconquerable fighting spirit."
"But once we leave, we will become nobodies... do you all understand this gap?"
Huo Xin laughed heartily, saying with overflowing enthusiasm:
"Brother Xu, stop fussing."
"If we’re standing here, we all have an idea of what we’re getting into!"
"Others spend their whole life without this kind of opportunity, we accidentally encountered it. It’d be illogical not to seize it!"
"Right, isn’t it just about starting all over again?"
Ma Nongmei clenched his fist, unable to contain his eagerness:
"Once we’ve glimpsed more vast heavens and earth, why should we remain frogs at the bottom of the well!"
"Following Master Han, we might face countless risks, but there will also be endless opportunities!"
"Many years from now, perhaps many of us will die."
"But those who survive will surely carry on the wishes of those who passed, together climbing higher peaks!"
...
The Mercenary Group that Steals Fire, has grown to over a hundred people to date.
When Emperor Han abdicated and returned to his family, amazingly about seventy percent of others were willing to give up everything they had in the GuaGua Dynasty to embark on this new journey.
"Good!"
"I won’t say any more. Let’s drain this glass for our future!"
Dongfang Xu felt an overwhelming heroism burning in his chest, tilting his head back and downing the drink in his cup in one gulp.
Huo Xin, Yan Xuehue, Yu Yu...one by one they followed suit. Their faces slightly flushed with intoxication, a charming determination shining in their eyes.
...
"Huazhu, I want to take you somewhere."
"Hmm?" Huazhu, sitting on the left shoulder of the Ancient Gold Ghost, looked at Ye Hanjun’s profile, slightly puzzled.
"Do you remember how we met?"
Ye Hanjun stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the quickly receding landscape in front of him, turned his head, and said with a soft laugh:
"You were at the top of the rescue center for the wounded and disabled, trapped by an iron chain. Your flesh was weak, but your spirit had not yielded."
"I remember you mentioning when we first learned about your background, that you have been wandering since you were a child. As a child, you had three companions of different races who depended on you for survival."
"Later, you encountered a group of Lizard People. Your companions were either killed or eaten."
"Only you managed to break out with hidden potential and luckily escaped the hunt, stumbling into the Giant Frog Marsh..."
Huazhu’s golden vertical pupils suddenly narrowed into pinpoints.
She opened her mouth and, after a long silence, sighed lightly on her stunning face:
"Sir, you actually remember."
"If you hadn’t brought it up, I might have forgotten about these memories."
Ye Hanjun shook his head and chuckled:
"Since we are going to leave this place, I want to sever all lingering regrets as best I can."
"Previously, I was unable to venture far from the border of the Giant Frog Marsh, but now things are different. The enemies I have to deal with should not be overlooked."
"Oooh!!"
The Ancient Gold Ghost suddenly stopped flapping its wings.
Looking down, Ye Hanjun saw a group of green-skinned demi-humans with lizard heads, lizard tails, lizard claws, but possessing humanoid torsos.
They were dragging a group of dead prey, looking up at the huge creature overhead, their typically cold pupils filled with stupefaction.
"Look, are these the ones?"
"The Lizard People’s leader back then had a scar on his forehead and another one on his right arm..."
Huazhu jumped off the Ancient Gold Ghost’s shoulder, stirred up a whirlwind in an instant, and crashed into the ground like a cannonball.
"&￥#@!"
The strongest lizard-person yelled gibberishly, but other Lizard People didn’t listen to him. They immediately dropped the prey in their hands and fled to the distant forest.
"There’s no mistake, it’s that group of Lizard People!"
"After all these years, it’s still the leader, its rank has ascended to Jade Infant Fetus and is living a more luxurious life!"
Speaking in pure Ancient Witch’s language, Huazhu murmured.
Then, she lifted two Golden Great Swords, aimed at the holes the Lizard People had dug everywhere, and detonated the Wind Element within her.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Ultimate·Giant Devouring Tornado - formed in a manner as if to destroy the world.
Without any hesitation, the terrifying tornado surged out. The ordinary Lizard People, whose ranks were only at Clay Body and Rainbow Light, turned into shards at first contact.
The strongest Lizard leader, realizing that the gap in power was too great, knelt on the ground, asking for mercy in an incomprehensible language.
But it did nothing to slow the wind. The tornado flattened all the dugout caves, killing the fleeing Lizard People along the way. The tornado charged towards the Lizard leader, and within a moment, his scream of horror could no longer be heard.
...
After the slaughter, Huazhu floated in the air, slowly closing her eyes.
She could compete with the Wheel of Life Embryo for life and death, maintaining her composure and steady breathing.
But this time, facing a group of lower ranking spirits that vastly inferior to her, her emotions were hard to calm down.
