Chapter 707: Capturing Meng Qu
Chapter 707: Capturing Meng Qu
September 25, 2017
As Lu Hai Kong was experiencing a boost in power, on the other side, beyond a village where a rocket had just been launched, the Black Demon Cavalry once again silently appeared in a Qin village.
The emergence of this Black Demon Cavalry meant that slaughter had descended once more.
Even though the villagers of this Qin village chose not to resist and instead hid inside their houses, blocking the doors tightly, the slaughter did not stop.
Attempting to use those shabby houses to block the Black Demon Cavalry outside was nothing short of a huge joke.
This Black Demon Cavalry didn't even need to break down doors; they could simply use their crossbows to turn the villagers' meager defenses into a laughingstock.
The Legendary-tier Cloud-Piercing Crossbows were incredibly powerful, and the flimsy earth walls had no chance of stopping these terrifying arrows. The villagers, hiding in their houses, watched as the arrows pierced through the walls, bringing death to the Qin people.
Death spread throughout the Qin village, and the screams continued. In just a few minutes of the Black Demon Cavalry's arrival, over a hundred people had already perished under the rain of crossbow bolts.
This was only because they chose to hide instead of resist; if the villagers of this village had fought back like the previous one, the death toll would have been even higher!
Amidst this slaughter, no one noticed that one of the two strongest generals among the Black Demon Cavalry was crying during the killing.
This Black Demon Knight general was none other than Meng Qu, who had ignored Lu Hai Kong's advice and recklessly charged into the Gather Yin Slaughter Array earlier today.
After collapsing and being enveloped by the black mist, as his strength and power continued to increase, he had thought he had encountered some kind of fortuitous encounter. But now, he realized that what he had encountered was not a blessing but the beginning of a nightmare.
He found himself able to move again, but he had completely become someone else's puppet, turning into the Black Knight he had been desperately seeking.
However, what truly made him despair was not this transformation but the fact that he had become a tool for slaughtering his own people.
His mind was incredibly clear, but his actions were completely beyond his control. Under the manipulation of an unknown force, he charged into his own people, using the spear in his hand to kill his comrades one by one.
As he smelled the thick, bloody scent in the air, as he felt the sensation of piercing his comrades' bodies with his spear, and as he saw the painful and pitiful expressions on their faces, he nearly went insane.
Desperately trying to break free from the control, he struggled, but to no avail. He couldn't escape the invisible force controlling him.
Despite never giving up, the feeling of despair still overwhelmed him, and tears uncontrollably flowed from his eyes.
Just when he thought this was the ultimate despair and hell, his body kicked open a door and charged into a house. Inside, he saw a slender figure.
Upon seeing this figure, Meng Qu's pupils constricted, and as he watched his spear thrust towards the slender figure, he completely lost his mind!
"No!"
A cry of despair rang out, and at this moment, Meng Qu finally managed to utter a sound.
But it was too late. His hand continued its motion, and the spear was about to pierce the slender figure.
Just then, a figure burst into the house, grabbing Meng Qu's spear and pulling it back. The figure kicked Meng Qu out of the house, sending him crashing through the wall and flying out of the building.
Meng Qu was being controlled, but at this moment, he could feel the pain in his chest.
As he experienced the pain, he saw the figure who had stopped him, and tears of gratitude welled up in his eyes.
This sudden figure was none other than Lu Hai Kong!
At this moment, Lu Hai Kong was completely unaware that he had already obtained the key to capturing Meng Qu.
After kicking Meng Qu out, Lu Hai Kong glanced at the pale-faced girl, then swung his Savage Axe and charged towards Meng Qu.
Lu Hai Kong had become the commander of the Qin forces, and his arrival also signaled the arrival of the Qin elite troops. A fierce battle was about to unfold.
Lu Hai Kong had been looking for Zhao Er, but he hadn't expected to find Meng Qu instead.
However, at this point, it didn't matter who it was. Lu Hai Kong wanted to try his best to see if he could save Meng Qu from this state of apparent demonic possession or insanity.
From a distance of several meters, Lu Hai Kong leaped high into the air, swinging his axe down towards Meng Qu with great force.
Lu Hai Kong's attack was already powerful, and this leaping strike further amplified the might of his blow!
Facing Lu Hai Kong's attack, Meng Qu had no intention of resisting. For him, being slain by Lu Hai Kong might be the best outcome, but unfortunately, his actions were not under his control.
As Meng Qu blocked Lu Hai Kong's axe, he was forcefully pushed into the ground, sinking several inches deep. Despite this, he managed to save himself.
"This guy's strength has increased significantly!" Lu Hai Kong's eyes narrowed, sensing that Meng Qu's combat ability, enhanced by the black demonization, had risen by at least two or three levels compared to before. At this moment, his strength was undoubtedly above ninety, making it less easy to deal with than before.
As expected, after Lu Hai Kong's initial axe attack, before he could continue his offense, Meng Qu swiftly counterattacked.
Meng Qu nimbly dodged Lu Hai Kong's axe and then swiftly moved to Lu Hai Kong's side, his spear resembling a black venomous snake as it continuously struck at Lu Hai Kong's body.
At this moment, the spear technique Meng Qu used was no longer the obvious Qin Feng martial skill from before, but a more ancient and highly lethal force.
Meng Qu's spear technique was as agile as a snake, following the 'Entangle' principle, sticking closely to Lu Hai Kong's body and even his weapon, preventing Lu Hai Kong from launching effective attacks.
This spear technique, to some extent, had a great countering effect against Lu Hai Kong's open and expansive martial skill.
With this technique, Meng Qu, for a moment, managed to fight Lu Hai Kong to a standstill.
Even Meng Qu himself was surprised by this situation, knowing that his strength had significantly increased after the black demonization, but never expecting it to reach a level where he could fight Lu Hai Kong to a draw.
In this situation, Meng Qu unconsciously began to worry about Lu Hai Kong, fearing that he wouldn't be able to defeat and slay him, allowing him to find true liberation.
However, Meng Qu's concern was unnecessary. Who was Lu Hai Kong? A man with a terrifying innate talent for martial arts, so it wasn't easy to defeat him.
Meng Qu's spear technique only gained him a slight advantage at the beginning, and it was quickly suppressed by Lu Hai Kong's dominant strength.
After only thirty or so exchanges, Lu Hai Kong became familiar with Meng Qu's spear technique, and Meng Qu found himself in trouble.
Lu Hai Kong effortlessly freed himself from Meng Qu's spear technique, and his savage axe continued to strike down.
With his terrifying strength and the support of his inner power, Lu Hai Kong's attacks were incredibly powerful. Facing Lu Hai Kong's offense, Meng Qu dared not block the attacks and focused entirely on evading them.
Logically, for a martial artist like Lu Hai Kong, if they can dodge effectively, preventing their opponent from landing attacks, they would have no other means, and their speed would completely suppress them.
In this situation, the battle between Lu Hai Kong and Meng Qu should have favored Meng Qu, with his agile evasion and Lu Hai Kong's significant stamina consumption gradually tilting the balance of victory in Meng Qu's favor.
However, the reality was the opposite. Each of Lu Hai Kong's strikes missed Meng Qu, but they carried a building momentum.
Initially, this momentum wasn't very strong and had a limited effect on Meng Qu.
But as Lu Hai Kong continued to attack, this momentum gradually accumulated, and by the end, under its influence, Meng Qu's movements became hindered, his agility decreased, and he found it increasingly difficult to evade Lu Hai Kong's attacks.
In this state, Meng Qu couldn't hold out for long. After a short battle, Meng Qu had no choice but to block Lu Hai Kong's attacks.
As soon as he tried to block, the situation changed completely.
The formidable aura burst forth and coalesced, making Meng Qu's movements even more challenging.
Lu Hai Kong's axe strikes rained down, and Meng Qu could only withstand about a dozen blows before being knocked to the ground.
After Meng Qu fell, Lu Hai Kong threw the savage axe aside, rushed forward, grabbed Meng Qu, and clenched his fists, pounding Meng Qu's body with punch after punch.
Lu Hai Kong's fists glowed with purple light, and with each punch, a black mist emanated from Meng Qu's body.
Witnessing this, Lu Hai Kong's eyes lit up.
He had only intended to test, but he hadn't expected his Purple Qi Ascending Dragon Technique's domineering inner power to truly dispel the black mist from Meng Qu's body. This was excellent news for Lu Hai Kong.
Without saying more, Lu Hai Kong held Meng Qu and unleashed a barrage of punches.
After a hundred or so punches, the black mist surrounding Meng Qu finally dissipated, and he was completely freed from control. Unfortunately, Meng Qu had already fallen into a state of unconsciousness due to Lu Hai Kong's pounding.
At the same time, the system notification arrived.
[You have successfully defeated a top-tier Black Demon General and obtained a Legendary Chest!]
