Chapter 842 - Massacre
GDK 842: Massacre
The Five Elite Zombies had not had a chance to use the Penta-Elemental Undead Formation in a real battle ever since they were reunited. Han Shuo held high expectations and was looking forward to witnessing the might of the Formation.
The Five Elite Zombies looked excited. It appeared that they were very confident with the Penta-Elemental Undead Formation they had been practicing. Han Shuo, Han Hao, and Rose stood in the pentagonal space at the center of the Five Elite Zombies.
As soon as the three were inside the safe space, the Five Elite Zombies activated the Penta-elemental Undead Formation. Earth Elite Zombie vanished underground. Wood Elite Zombie fused into a great tree beside him. Metal Elite Zombie took out his Golden Cudgel and merged with it. The Golden Cudgel grew larger and larger until it became a hill of gold. Fire Elite Zombie transformed into a raging inferno, engulfing everything in flame. Water Elite Zombie was covered under a thick layer of ice colder than absolute zero and sat as still as a mountain.
Suddenly, the Five Elemental Yuan Energies started flooding the region. A bizarre transformation started happening to the environment.
None of the Five Elite Zombies could be seen but their work could not be more visible. Deep gulches started tearing the earth that had become frigid cold, the air turned into raging fires while hundreds of thousands of vines were meandering like vipers.
Streams of rainbow-colored energies came out of nowhere and they shot all around the Penta-Elemental Undead Formation. The Formation which covered just several hundred square meters started to rapidly expand. It was as though the Kraken had been awoken. It was stretching its tentacles, ready to start destroying the world.
A frightening burst of energy erupted from the center of the Formation and spread outwards. It was like a tsunami of pure energy that will engulf and annihilate anything and everything in its path.
Those Fringedwellers charging at the very front were the firsts to be enveloped by the Penta-Elemental Undead Formation. They instantly felt an unstoppable, violent power assaulting them, as though thousands of great mountains had crushed on their bodies. All those experts below highgod were severely injured in no time and they started spurting blood. Some of those who had not reacted in time were flattened into bloody meat pies by the enormous power.
Chilling winds as piercing as blades whirled around the Formation, taking the Fringedwellers into the air. Raging flames carrying tremendous heat then swallowed them, cooking them thoroughly in an instant.
There were bodies, limbs covering every inch of the scorched ground that was filled with bottomless chasms. Enormous rocks of unknown origins were everywhere. Some of them were standing above mushed flesh and organs. There were a few Fringedwellers crushed underneath those rocks who were still barely alive. Blood flowed out from their gaping mouth. Their eyes were filled with helplessness and despair as they slowly faded away…
Those lucky Fringedwellers who did not step into the Formation were utterly silent as they observed the clusterfuck before them. They felt weak-kneed as shivers traveled up their spines. None of the Fringedwellers cried out in pain or shock. Not a sound came out from their mouths.
<i>Thud, Thud… </i> Heavy footsteps as reverberating as drums sounded, trembling their hearts. Han Shuo, Han Hao, and Rose were seen marching forward step by step.
Han Shuo’s resonating footsteps broke the pin-drop silence and brought the remaining Fringedwellers to their senses. It was then that they recalled an important fact – they were not out of danger yet!
Buzz and Bertha who had been badly injured looked at Han Shuo and Rose with frightened eyes. Their minds were in jumbles. There was no longer a trace of arrogance or ferociousness on their faces but only regrets and despair.
“I did not want to fight you people, but you bunch were just too unreasonable. If you are so keen to seek death, I will grant it to you!” Han Shuo said to the shivering Fringedwellers. Then, he put on an amiable smile and said, “Buzz, Bertha, do you need me to end you myself?”
The thirty-something people who managed to survive the Penta-elemental Undead Formation had crawled behind Buzz and Bertha. The crowd gathered their gaze on Buzz and Bertha upon hearing Han Shuo’s words.
Then, suddenly, without any warning, all those Fringedwellers behind Buzz and Bertha simultaneously launched a surprise attack at the couple. They couldn’t react in time and were struck by those violent energies. They died on the spot!
One of the Fringedwellers stepped forward, severed Buzz and Bertha’s heads, and tossed it to Han Shuo who was walking towards them. He said, “They are dead. Please do not hold a grudge at us. I promise that I’ll never make an enemy with you. Please forgive our offense and spare us!”
That Fringedweller was an astute person. Although he had survived the Penta-elemental Undead Formation, his body was nonetheless severely injured. He knew that given the circumstances, it was impossible to leave the region alive without Han Shuo’s approval. Therefore, he had decisively killed Buzz and Bertha in an attempt to get Han Shuo’s forgiveness.
Han Shuo looked at Buzz and Bertha’s heads rolling to his feet before turning to the person in an amiable smile and said, “It took me a great deal of planning to gather you bunch here. Do you think letting you leave just like that would be part of my plan?”
