Berserk God of War

Chapter 988: Chapter 988: Forced Control of Troops

Watching the direction where the carriage left, a sharp glint flashed in Jiang Wanyou’s eyes. The reason for letting Ah Yin leave first was precisely to leave something unnoticed, as having the carriage stop outside could easily draw attention.

Just like that, she gently pushed open the door.

At this moment, Jiang Wanyou wore a smile on her face, full of joy, believing that Uncle Xiu would surely receive a good apprentice.

However, as she just stepped inside, she found the Xiu Yi Clinic empty. Just as she was puzzled and about to call out, a cold voice suddenly came from outside.

“Xiu Hanzi, you can’t escape.”

The voice crashed in from outside, causing Jiang Wanyou’s eyes to widen. She recognized the voice as Duanmu Chun’s.

She had followed Yao Yulou and met Duanmu Chun more than once, remembering him clearly.

What made her more flustered was Uncle Xiu being discovered, found out by Duanmu Chun, and now she was in Uncle Xiu’s clinic, what should she do?

Once Duanmu Chun barges in, their identities would be exposed, which would harm Yulou and Meixi. What should she do?

Of course, she could claim to be visiting for medical reasons, but would Duanmu Chun believe that?

“Xiu Hanzi, could it be that you’re not in the clinic? But I sense someone inside, let me see who it is.” Duanmu Chun continued to speak with a cold laugh, and then heavy footsteps were heard outside the clinic.

Jiang Wanyou had become extremely anxious…

At this moment… swoosh.

A shadow suddenly fell on the small clinic’s balcony, revealing the pallid face of Old Xiu, while outside, Duanmu Chun’s footsteps halted in an instant, which slightly calmed Jiang Wanyou.

In the next moment, Duanmu Chun spoke again with surprise, “Xiu Hanzi, you really have some guts!”

Old Xiu glanced back at Jiang Wanyou in the clinic hall, then with a pale smile said, “Duanmu Dabajue, you came to see me so soon again. Did you bring that young man to have a talk?”

He casually responded, and Duanmu Chun didn’t notice the subtle fluctuations spreading from under Old Xiu’s feet.

Duanmu Chun coldly lifted his head, tugging at the corners of his mouth, and said, “If you want to talk, we can certainly talk. If you fully join my Overlord Commerce and focus on deciphering and evolving the two corners of the genuine Qianyuan Map we obtained, you can live.”

At this moment, Duanmu Chun naturally wouldn’t directly attack Old Xiu.

Though very angry, he had calmed down along the way.

Xiu Hanzi was someone every faction with a piece of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map desperately longed for.

With him, the complete Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map could be deduced, and even deriving 50% would be enough to drive people mad.

Seeing that Old Xiu said nothing, Duanmu Chun spoke again, “I can also promise to let Sikong Jing learn the Qianyuan Map from you.”

Now he was entirely certain that the person before him was indeed a leftover from Su Old Demon’s followers… Xiu Hanzi.

And also sure that they genuinely wanted to take on an apprentice, especially since Sikong Jing had seen the Qianyuan Map Illusion Realm, and now they had tested Sikong Jing’s Military Talent…

Just because Sikong Jing revealed the truth of the fragmented map, Xiu Hanzi had no choice but to kidnap someone.

Old Xiu laughed at this: “Duanmu Chun, do you think you are capable of making promises?”

Duanmu Chun was taken aback, as he was merely the Supreme Dominator of the East Dominator Branch, not lowly ranked but unable to represent the entire Overlord Commerce.

“To negotiate with me, at least bring an Overlord Venerable, preferably a Heavenly Decision Maker, otherwise we can’t talk.” Old Xiu nodded lightly, the fluctuations under his feet growing stronger, yet Duanmu Chun remained oblivious.

Taking a deep breath, Duanmu Chun sneered continuously, “Xiu Hanzi, didn’t you come back here just to negotiate?”

This was what Duanmu Chun thought, as he originally believed Xiu Hanzi wouldn’t return.

He didn’t know that Old Xiu came back solely because Jiang Wanyou was there.

Seeing Old Xiu still smiling without responding, Duanmu Chun growled lowly, “You do indeed have the right to negotiate with the Heavenly Decision Maker, but only after coming back with me… come back with me to the East Dominator Branch now!”

With those words, Duanmu Chun’s entire body suddenly erupted with waves of True Qi. Just in case, he intended to capture Xiu Hanzi first.

Just like that, he acted directly…

Inside the clinic, Jiang Wanyou’s face turned pale; Uncle Xiu’s own combat strength wasn’t strong, and he was injured. Moreover, once Duanmu Chun charged in, she would be completely exposed.

Boom…

At this moment, the area with the Xiu Yi Clinic at its center exploded with a succession of thunderous bangs across the Chaotic Eighth District.

Rays of exceptionally sharp light shot up to the sky, then converged from all sides. In a blink, they condensed over Old Xiu’s head into a tremendously powerful killing light.

Old Xiu waved a hand, and the killing light blasted out, striking the onrushing Duanmu Chun and throwing him back violently.

“Ah!”

Duanmu Chun was hit squarely by the killing light, screaming miserably.

Then he forcibly stopped himself dozens of meters away, staring incredulously at Old Xiu on the balcony.

At this time, Old Xiu spoke plainly, “Didn’t you want to see what the power of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map looks like? Now you’ve seen it, though my grasp of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map is quite limited.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the ordinary residents of the Chaotic Eighth District emerged, looking at each other, confused. True Qi circulating faintly from their bodies, all of it seemingly gathering at Old Xiu’s feet.

Under Old Xiu’s feet, peculiar lines formed from the gathered forces.

Standing dozens of meters away from the Xiu Yi Clinic, Duanmu Chun stared fixedly at Old Xiu, rasping, “Forced control of troops!”

Duanmu Chun’s fist clenched slightly. Xiu Hanzi had forcibly controlled part of the ordinary residents in the Chaotic Eighth District using the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation, an ability only an extremely fearsome Soldier Formation Master could achieve.

And Xiu Hanzi did it!

With a slight smile, Old Xiu asked again, “Duanmu Chun, can you leave now?”

Duanmu Chun stared intently at Old Xiu, his voice hoarse as he spoke, “The residents of the Chaotic Eighth District are weak, I just don’t believe…”

Boom…

Before he could finish, Old Xiu once again forcibly controlled troops to gather terrifying killing light, fiercely striking Duanmu Chun.

The latter screamed miserably once more, flying out like a broken kite, nearly crashing into the edge of the Chaotic Eighth District before coming to a stop. He then rose again, but blood trickled from his mouth…

And Old Xiu’s voice echoed out deliberately, “Weak ones are easier to forcibly control, and even the weak have their own strength. As long as there are enough people, they can form terrifying destructive power. You underestimate so-called weak ones too much.”

In the Chaotic Eighth District, most were merely beginner-level Martial Artists; they were the lowest within Hanluan City.

In Duanmu Chun’s eyes, even if Old Xiu controlled them, he couldn’t manifest terrifying power. Yet Old Xiu used the killing light just now to show Duanmu Chun that even under the Soldier Killing Formation, the weak could be overwhelmingly invincible.

Duanmu Chun’s face turned grim, True Qi surged once more, attempting to strike again, “I just don’t believe… ah!”

Before finishing, he felt as if struck by lightning, being slapped fiercely.

With a loud crash, Duanmu Chun hit the ground, creating a large pit. He frantically raised his head, “Who ambushed me?”

Next, he saw an elder’s silhouette appear at the pit’s edge—it was Old He.

Beside Old He stood Sikong Jing.
