Chapter 14: Where is Zhao Hong?
Chu Xuan stood motionless as Hu swiftly positioned himself in front of him. With a loud clang, he swatted away the filth hurled their way.
"Kill them. They're just wasting food anyway," Chu Xuan waved dismissively.
"Roar roar!" Hu and Bao responded eagerly.
The two corpse puppets propelled themselves off the ground like springs, instantly leaping onto the watchtower. The two guards widened their eyes in shock, unprepared for what was happening, and were swiftly disemboweled.
Hu and Bao relished their feast, devouring with gusto.
"Stop eating, open the gate," Chu Xuan commanded casually.
Hu let out a few embarrassed roars and hurried to the gate, smashing it open with a single powerful swipe of his claw.
Chu Xuan then leisurely walked into the Haotai Hotel. The loud noise from the gate drew the attention of many inside. They peered out of windows or stepped out of doors, only to be met with the sight of Chu Xuan and the two guards being devoured. Panic ensued.
"My god! Zombies have breached our headquarters!"
Quickly, more than twenty men armed with long guns and clubs confronted Chu Xuan. They eyed the oddly dressed youth, feeling an inexplicable sense of dread.
"I'm here for Zhao Hong," Chu Xuan stated indifferently.
"Ridiculous! You think you can just ask to see the boss?" one of the men scoffed, growling at him.
With a simple wave of his hand, Bao charged out, dragging the man from the crowd and slashing his throat open. Blood spurted out like a fountain, causing the others to shiver.
Their gaze towards Chu Xuan shifted dramatically.
The zombies were obeying him! This man can control zombies! No wonder he dared to storm into the Spirit Hounds's stronghold!
Some looked more closely at Hu and Bao, recognition dawning on them. After a moment, someone screamed, "They are Brother Hu and Brother Bao!"Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
Chu Xuan chuckled and snapped his fingers, "Simple. I want the entire Spirit Hounds."
Zhao Hong was taken aback, then laughed out of sheer anger, "Interesting. This is the first time I've encountered someone as brazenly foolish as you!"
"Dahei, Daho, Erho, attack! Devour him alive!" As his command echoed, the three ferocious dogs lunged forward, their slobbery jaws aiming for Chu Xuan's throat, left arm, and right leg.
Yet, Chu Xuan remained composed, hands behind his back.
Hu swiftly moved in front of him while Bao vanished from sight. A golden aura enveloped Hu, making him appear as a celestial warrior descended to earth.
Clang!
The three giant dogs slammed into Hu, their powerful bites snapping shut. But in the next moment, they began to whimper in pain. Their teeth, capable of crushing human skulls, shattered like glass.
Zhao Hong's heart trembled with shock. These must be high-level zombies! And such formidable zombies were being controlled by a human? But wait—weren't there two zombies? Where was the other one?
As this thought crossed his mind, a piercing pain suddenly erupted in his back.
Twisting his body in a reflexive attempt to evade, Zhao Hong still felt the acute, tearing pain. A blade, formed from condensed Yin fire, sliced through his back, spewing blood and leaving a long, deep wound. The Yin fire continued to burn, sending agonizing pain piercing through his mind like countless needles.
In just a few breaths, Zhao Hong felt his strength draining from his wound. His complexion turned pale, and his body swayed, needing support to remain upright.
Whimpering sounds filled the air.
By then, Hu had already dealt a brutal beating to the three spiritual dogs. Dahei, who had attacked Chu Xuan most fiercely, was now bleeding from every orifice and convulsing on the ground, evidently on the brink of death. Daho and Erho, more sensible, immediately rolled over to expose their bellies in submission.
Seeing this, Zhao Hong's heart turned ice cold. His long-trained spiritual dogs were effortlessly defeated and had even switched allegiances. His own vaunted physical strength seemed as fragile as tofu.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Hong suddenly pulled out a pitch-black metallic object from his bosom and, without hesitation, opened fire on Chu Xuan.
"Die!" he snarled with a malevolent grin.
