Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 554 - 232 National Treasure_2

Wang Zhi’s entire face clenched into a crimson red, as if he was about to explode at any moment.

"Will you not take it?" Hu Zhen coldly said.

"Senior... I only need... one... order..."

Bang!

The next moment, with a slight exertion of force by Hu Zhen, Wang Zhi, the County Magistrate of Shilong County in Peach Blossom County of Song State, burst open like a watermelon!

The surrounding government officials and county magistrates were all shocked.

"The County Magistrate is dead!"

A government official exclaimed.

Some, with their faces smeared with red and white, screamed in terror.

"Silence!"

Hu Zhen’s expression became severe, and with a flick of his finger, icy blue Starlight exploded in all directions.

In an instant, fifty government officials and the county magistrate were shattered into pieces by the icy blue Starlight.

After slaughtering this group, Hu Zhen’s figure flashed, heading straight for the Shilong County Government Office!

On the way, anyone screaming or howling was simply flicked by his hand, instantly blasted to death; along the way, he killed hundreds, finally arriving at the county government!

Seeing an elder who looked like a consultant, he grabbed him and demanded, "Where is the county magistrate?"

Within a county, typically only the County Magistrate and the County Magistrate have free access to the secret archives.

"The County Magistrate just went out with the County Magistrate!"

The consultant stuttered in reply, causing a sudden flare of anger in Hu Zhen’s heart, as he suddenly remembered another Fourth Tier Star Condensing Realm man by the County Magistrate’s side, who was also killed by him!

Both the County Magistrate and the County Magistrate had been blasted by him; there was no way to obtain the secret archives through regular channels now.

Upon this realization, Hu Zhen became even more furious!

"Do you know where the secret archives are?"

"I don’t know..."

Bang!

The moment the consultant said he didn’t know, Hu Zhen immediately burst him open!

One unknowing answer, and he would question another!

Inside the county government, Hu Zhen interrogated one government official after another.

Anyone who couldn’t answer was instantly burst open!

In just a few moments, a thin layer of plasma had already covered the interior of the entire county government, all spilled by Hu Zhen.

Only after he had burst open the County Magistrate’s wife and children in the backyard did he realize that there was no one left alive in the entire county government.

Yet, he still hadn’t obtained the information he sought!

This reignited the fury in Hu Zhen’s heart!

Today, he must find out the origin of the Vortex Star Gate outside the city, and then send people to avenge his son’s blood feud!

That Star Gate would be accessible before it was sealed!

But without knowing its origin, they couldn’t build a return Star Gate on this side of the world.

Sending one or two Sixth Tier cultivators in with the promise of great rewards was feasible, but sending ten or twenty would be impossible!

He had to find out the origin in order to establish a return Star Gate and then send a large number of Sixth Tier experts to take revenge for his son!

The entire Shilong County was already in chaos due to his actions.

Cries, screams, curses, and shouts mixed into one.

This made Hu Zhen’s anger intensify!

The next instant, Hu Zhen’s voice, like that of a Heavenly God, resonated throughout the entire city.

A giant hand made of Starlight pointed to the Vortex Star Gate suspended mid-air outside the city, and Hu Zhen’s imposing voice roared, "That Star Gate outside the city, whoever knows its origin, tell me immediately!

If no one knows, in five breaths, I will start slaughtering the city!"

The word "slaughtering" came out lightly from Hu Zhen’s mouth as if it carried no weight.

But this was a small county town where ninety-nine percent were ordinary citizens.

The citizens of the small county, who had never experienced such a spectacle,

were not like cultivators who could be deterred by his mere presence.

Instead, it triggered their fears!

Frightened, the crying from women and children rose to the heavens, directly reigniting Hu Zhen’s rage.

"Fools, since you wish to die, I will grant your wish!"

The next instant, Hu Zhen’s hands gently rotated, and in a moment, countless Starlights gathered above Shilong County.

"Whoever can tell the origin of the Star Gate outside the city will live!"

As he roared this sentence, Hu Zhen pushed his hands forward instantly, and ice rain began to fall above Shilong County.

More precisely, it was an extremely large range of the Ice Rain Skill!

Even a simple Ice Rain Skill, when unleashed by an Eighth Tier expert like Hu Zhen, became immensely terrifying.

Below the city of Shilong County, it rained ice spears as if natural.

Each ice spear, landing on anyone, was akin to being bombarded by powerful crossbow bolts.

Limbs were pierced, and some were even blasted apart!

The sounds of arrows hitting and the screams mingled together.

Countless ordinary citizens died under the barrage of the Ice Rain Skill.

But in the sky, the Ice Rain Skill continued.

Amidst their panic, the ordinary citizens found ways to hide in rooms and under buildings to avoid the lethal ice arrows!

In the sky, Hu Zhen, like a god, looked down at the more than a hundred thousand citizens scurrying around, watching these ignorant men flee in panic, yet no one answered or even considered his question.

His anger grew even more!

"If that is so, then all of you go die!"

The next instant, with a thought from Hu Zhen, countless Starlight fell from the sky, instantly doubling the might of the wide-range Ice Rain Skill.

Shooting sounds like rain.

One by one, buildings in the town collapsed under the continuous bombardment of ice rain, some even being penetrated.

Some were trapped by the collapsed buildings, some just escaped from collapsed structures, only to not escape the ice rain raining down from the sky, and were instantly killed!

In just a few seconds, Shilong County turned into a living hell!

"Fine, my son is lonely on his way; you will go and keep him company, making perfect servants to my son!"
