Astral Apostle - Chapter 101
Chapter 101: Suspicion And Estrangement (1)
“What happened here?!”
Many hunters looked at the ruined hall in shock.
Everyone saw Zhou Jing standing on top of Buzz-cut’s corpse, pulling out his saber.
“Jason?!”
Weiss cried out.
The others also recognized Zhou Jing, covered in blood, and their hearts trembled.
During the day, Jason drank and chatted with them in the tavern. Why would he start a massacre in the lord’s castle at night? He even fought to the point of a pyrrhic victory!
What had happened in this half a day?!
Because they did not understand the situation, many hunters did not know what to do. They stopped at the open door and did not move, watching in a daze as Zhou Jing dragged his bloody body and moved step by step.
Under everyone’s gaze, Zhou Jing staggered towards the stairs leading to the second floor.
His vision was already blurry, his jaw was broken, and his nerves were in pain.
His chest and abdomen suffered the heavy blow of the buzz-cut man before he died. Countless ribs were broken, and his internal organs were also shattered. If not for his [Tenacious] talent, he probably would not have been able to stand up.
After suffering such a heavy blow, he was already an arrow at the end of its flight. Previously, he had held his breath to maintain his Thunder Strike skill and squeezed out the last of his strength from the cracks in his bones. Only then did he use his only chance to revive his follower to kill buzz-cut.
After succeeding, Zhou Jing could no longer hold his breath. His strength was rapidly depleting, and his body was bleeding all over. He could not even raise his saber properly.
The injuries on this body were fatal. Coupled with his collapsing genes, even a panacea would not save him now…
His life was like a candle flickering in the wind. Death was close at hand, and he probably only had seconds on his clock.
…
Zhou Jing knew his death was imminent, but he still dragged his broken and heavy body towards the lord.
Dozens of guards crowded in front of the stairs. When they saw Zhou Jing staggering closer, they hurriedly retreated up the steps and squeezed into the corridor on the second floor.
Every time Zhou Jing took a step forward, the guards hurriedly took two steps back.
After witnessing the battle just now, they were all terrified. At this moment, they only had fear towards Zhou Jing.
Even though he was heavily injured and on the verge of death, and it looked like anyone could knock him down, none of the guards dared to step forward to finish him off. They could only keep retreating.
At the end of the corridor behind the crowd, Lutt’s face was deathly pale, his teeth chattering.
He wanted to turn around and escape upstairs, but his legs did not listen to him.
Previously, buzz-cut had always had the upper hand, so Lutt had watched the battle calmly, not afraid that Zhou Jing would threaten him.
However, he did not expect that the situation would take a turn for the worse. The greatest source of his confidence was actually killed on the spot!
Throughout the entire process, his attention was focused on Zhou Jing and the buzz-cut man. After Ross was easily killed, he did not pay attention to this corpse lying on the battlefield. He only felt that it was a useless follower who was sending himself to his death.
Therefore, when Ross came back to life and quietly ambushed buzz-cut, Lutt did not understand the situation at all. Similarly, he did not notice how Ross’s head grew back. His first reaction was that he thought he was seeing things. buzz-cut was probably careless and did not kill Ross, which allowed him to have the strength to get up.
At this moment, no one could stop Zhou Jing!
Lutt finally panicked.
Although there were still more than 30 guards in front of him, separating him from Zhou Jing…
Although Zhou Jing only had one breath left…
However, as Zhou Jing, who was filled with a murderous aura, slowly approached, Lutt still felt a suffocating fear grip him!
He could almost see Zhou Jing passing through the crowd and nailing him to the wall!
If he had to describe his current mood…
Regret, he regretted it!
His seven Mutant Blood Warriors were dead, and even buzz-cut was dead!
Who knew that this guy could fight so fiercely?!
“Save… save…”
Lutt stuttered. Suddenly, he saw the many hunters gathered downstairs. His eyes lit up with hope as if he had found a life-saving straw.
He shouted at the dumbfounded hunters.
“Hunters, quickly stop him! He wants to kill me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a few hunters subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to rush up to the second floor to stop Zhou Jing.
But in the next moment, Weiss suddenly raised his hand and pulled them, stopping their movements.
They turned around with noises of surprise.
“What’s wrong? Aren’t we going to stop Jason?”
“If he’s going to attack the lord, we can’t just watch, right?”
Weiss did not respond immediately. His face twitched as he looked at the dying Zhou Jing.
With his eyesight, he could tell that Zhou Jing did not have long to live.
After all, he was a companion who had taught Zhou Jing for three months and had fought alongside him. Seeing Zhou Jing’s tragic appearance, Weiss was shocked but also furious.
The traces of a bloody battle could not be faked.
He really wanted to know what Zhou Jing had encountered after they parted.
Since Jason had attacked the lord’s castle, there must be a reason. It must be related to the lord!
“Don’t do anything until you know what’s going on,” Weiss said.
Someone hesitated and said, “How can we not do anything? That’s the lord after all. We can’t just watch Jason kill him, right?”
Hearing this, the hunters looked at each other.
They did not know why Zhou Jing was fighting with the lord and his men, but something must have happened.
But Lutt was the lord. No one knew what to do in such a situation.
Logically speaking, they should be protecting their lord, but as hunters, they should be protecting their own people.
But it was impossible for him to help Jason kill the lord without knowing the background behind his motives.
After all, there had never been a precedent of a mutant beast hunter wanting to kill a Lord!
Seeing that many hunters were hesitating and did not interfere, Lutt panicked and quickly shouted.
“I don’t know what’s going on at all. He killed my guards for no reason and suddenly rushed into the castle to kill me. I don’t even understand what’s going on! If you have any questions, stop him first before asking!”
