Volume 2 Chapter 126: Face-to-Face

  What joy is there in not doing it!

  Everyone in the hall thought so, including Xiahou Jian, who came from a humble background, and Zhang Tianyao, who was a researcher; of course, on the premise that these promises were true, Gong Zhengwei could match Liang Jingda's strength or even gain the upper hand.

  For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was very harmonious, with a sense of everyone working together to overthrow the devil's head. The occupied high ground was full of criticism and accusations against Liang Jing, the devil. The crowd was excited and their tone was difficult to calm down. This made Gong Zhengde even more satisfied. He knew that these people were all wall grass, only taking action when they saw an opportunity, but he had the upper hand!

  Buzzing, humming...

  "What's going on?" A loud commotion was heard from outside, and even the leaders of the evil gang in the hall who were passionately denouncing their boss heard it. Gong Zhengwei asked.

  "Fire! Fire! It's on fire! The granary is on fire!......" Voices of panic and confusion came from outside.

  "What? Impossible! Ah!" Gong Zhengwei heard that the granary was on fire, his first feeling was that it was impossible. The granary and ammunition depot were extremely important, he had long since dispatched heavy troops to guard them. In a panic, he suddenly wanted to stand up, but didn't think that his fractured bones hadn't healed yet, instantly triggering immense pain.

  "Be careful, Gong Zhengwei!"

  "Take it easy! Don't get excited..."

  ……

  "What's going on?" Gong Zhengde endured the pain with a pale face, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and waved his right hand to indicate that everything was fine.

  "General, the granary outside is on fire, everything has been burned to ashes! All of those inside have sacrificed themselves!" Finally, a private soldier with a face full of dust and in disarray ran into the great hall to report.

  "It's terrible! The ammunition depot is also on fire! …… " More bad news came from outside.

  Rumble!

  A huge explosion came, making the still skeptical crowd thoroughly believe it. Feeling the shock transmitted from the ground, it brought a blow to the crowd: food was gone! Firearms and ammunition were gone!

  The hall suddenly fell silent, forming a strong contrast with the shouting outside; all the leaders in the hall felt extremely depressed, and Gong Zheng's promise had just been rendered half useless.

  "Liáng Jìng! It's Liáng Jìng! You're so ruthless, Liáng Jìng! Ahh!" Gōng Zhèngwěi clutched at his wounded chest, gasping violently, his voice hoarse and seemingly filled with endless hatred.

  It was originally expected that the plan would succeed, but now it has been ruined by Liang Jing's three punches and two kicks. The previous words were basically wasted. It is still unknown how many people will be willing to take action at that time.

  Indeed, if everything had gone smoothly before, there would have been some fearless people mixed in, then blindly followed by others, and the plan would have been perfect. But now that their own food and ammunition are gone, it's hard to predict the outcome of things.

  This time, despite having made good defensive preparations and deploying all available personnel to guard key positions, he only sought reassurance. Unexpectedly, Liang Jing actually did it; he directly burned nearly a hundred tons of grain, as well as numerous military supplies. Moreover, none of the private soldiers guarding the place had been informed in advance, so that this side only discovered what was happening when they saw the fire. It can be imagined that Liang Jing must have left no one alive when he took action.

  Of course they wouldn't know that the grain had all been taken away by Liang Jing, and only a few scattered pieces of ammunition were left behind, which then exploded, producing the previous explosion sound.

  Whoosh, buzz...

  The many leaders in the hall came to their senses, and their minds also sobered up from the previous excitement and frenzy. They knew that most of Gong Zheng's promises were empty this time. They were discussing among themselves whether they should continue to participate or not. Without food and guns, everything else was useless to them. What could be gained in reality? A large number of people began to retreat.

  It can be said that Liang Jing's unintentional move, just wanting to retaliate and gain some interest, unexpectedly undermined the opponent's plan by half, reducing a lot of threats to himself, even if Liang Jing was not afraid of these dangers.

  Just then——

  Tap! Tap-tap! — tap-tap-tap! ——

  In the hall, the air was filled with the sound of footsteps, no breathing, no shadow, only a series of sounds that seemed to be trampling on people's hearts, somewhat like horse hooves, somewhat like the trampling sound of hellish skulls.

  In the hall, under the dim yellow light of the candles, a gust of wind blew in from the doorway, causing the flames to flicker uncertainly, accompanied by what seemed like footsteps on people's hearts. The atmosphere in the hall turned eerily cold and sinister for an instant before falling silent again, sending shivers down one's spine.

  "What a guy! Playing tricks on me!" Gong Zhengwei finally managed to clear his head from the flames of hatred and fury, and loudly shouted.

  Tap tap, tap-tap-tap——

  A majestic and powerful figure emerged from the air, under the dark yellow lamp light, wearing a bright silver armor, with dazzling golden boots on his feet, carrying a huge dark gold giant blade.

  Like an ancient war god, with a fierce and overbearing aura, like a towering mountain that holds up the sky, standing tall and suppressing everything; in an instant, the breathing of everyone in the great hall was stifled.

  On the ferocious black dragon helmet, two pupils like dark night stars shone brightly from the two apertures, and after fixing his gaze on the crowd in the arena for a moment, his indifferent eyes seemed to want to see through these people.

  While the crowd was being gazed at by this indifferent gaze, they felt a chill in their hearts and didn't dare to make eye contact. This is a powerful spirit, a kind of power formed after one's own strong abilities have undergone various changes. It seems as if both eyes are carrying an overwhelming force that makes people not dare to look directly at him. Subconsciously, the instinctive reaction of life itself made them unclear about their situation, but they knew the other person was very dangerous, a threat to their lives!

  Of course, there are also people who feel very resentful, feeling that they have avoided the other person's gaze and lost face. They muster up their courage again to glance at Liang Jing, but Liang Jing has already stopped paying attention to them.

  Although these people are awakened, their strength is still too weak. Even the second layer of true energy only has two or three small cats, and without absolute attack power, even if there are any special mysterious methods, they can't do anything to themselves. At most, they can only use special abilities to control and delay time.

  Whoosh!

  Li Jing's gaze finally settled on Gong Zhengwei, the first seat. It seems that this person is behind all this commotion. It looks like he hasn't given up yet. Fortunately, after accepting the grain depot and arsenal, I let Wu Yongxian leave first, otherwise, I would have really been distracted at that time.

  Looking at the dots on the small map, Liang Jing had already known that there were more than thirty Awakeners in the hall through his previous exploration. This was the first time he saw so many Awakeners. Looking at these dots, some of which were completely red and hostile, while others were yellow dots of passersby and red dots of hostility constantly changing, Liang Jing had a thrilling feeling!

  These are all bosses!

  Awakened humans must be elite-level monsters, some are even blue boss-level, and perhaps the possibility of a golden boss-level may appear at the mutation point, but so far, Liang Jing has not found any human awakened to the golden boss level.

  Monsters above elite level are guaranteed to drop items, just thinking about it makes Jiang Jing excited and agitated. If all of these people were killed, how many items would they drop? To the point where the gaze directed at the crowd seemed like a wolf eyeing sheep, making everyone feel a chill in their hearts, as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

  "Are you Liang Jing?" The only way he could tell was by looking at the majestic man in front of him, wearing a dazzling suit of armor and, more importantly, the dark golden weapon behind his back.

  "Right!" Liang Jing looked at Gong Zheng, who was already in a sorry state but still trying to maintain his composure, with a very indifferent tone.

  "Alright, alright! You actually dare to barge in alone, do you think you're invincible? Don't the thirty-plus Awakened Ones present here mean anything to you?" Gong Zhengwei seemed extremely agitated, as if Liang Jing had tarnished the dignity of many Awakened Ones.

  Gong Zhengwei looked at the man wearing a black samurai uniform beside him, who was holding an oriental samurai sword. He took a deep look at Liang Jing, his pupils shrinking, and after a long time, as if considering something, he nodded to Gong Zhengwei.

  "Do you want to kill me? Do you want to harm me?" Gong Zheng's voice was full of confidence as he received an affirmative answer.

  Is this guy an idiot? Isn't this a definite answer?

  Liang Jing has now done everything thoroughly and absolutely, without leaving any room for maneuvering or turning back. Could it be that she has become mentally abnormal after receiving so many stimulations?
