Chapter 13

Zhao Hao looked at the headless corpses on the floor and his heart trembled, "Am I too cruel?" He couldn't help but ponder. The gruesome scene made him want to stop despite being an assassin. However, he thought of his fate had he been the weaker party, and gradually his resolve hardened again.

"Die Wu, let's go."

The guards were already and there was no going back. Zhao Hao shook his head to get rid of his confusion and prompted Huang Diewu to follow him out of the Grand Marshal's mansion.

...…..

According to the rules of the imperial court, only those who had reached the level of warlord could be appointed as generals. Below the warrior realm, all who were conscripted were soldiers. "Bone forging, marrow refinement, soul tempering, warrior...," Zhao Hao's Marrow Refining Tier 5 cultivation base was equivalent to an elite soldier, but it was still much worse than the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who were in the Soul Tempering Realm.

If with his current realm he didn't have the protection of the god generals then he would still have difficulty protecting himself. He was therefore forced to apply all means to strengthen himself as long as the opportunity presented itself no matter how cruel.

...

As they were walking out Zhao Hao came to a halt as he was hit by a sudden thought and immediately decided to try out his new plan.

"Die Wu, go check the stables and see if anyone is still hiding there."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In the blink of an eye, the two came to a stable that was more spacious than a common man's palace. There were hundreds of war horses in the long rows of the stable, each of which was tall and robust.

Looking at the tall and majestic horses, Zhao Hao squinted his eyes, considering whether they could also provide experience points.

"Your Majesty, I didn't notice any human breath here, shall we go?" Huang Diewu said.

"There are no people, but...." Zhao Hao's eyes flickered, and he walked into the stable with the sword of the king.

"Hehe." Zhao Hao walked to a horse that had its head out of the way and was eating forage. Holding the long sword in both hands, he slashed at it violently.

"Crack!"

The horse stood still for a moment, and then a huge horse head fell to the ground.

[Hint, you get 200 experience points.]

Surprisingly the level of this horse was higher than the guards he had killed earlier. Had it not been tamed then his killing would not have ended as smoothly as it just had. Zhao Hao thought of his near death and a stream of sweat flowed down his back.

Despite that, Zhao Hao still carried the sword and started to chop the horses continuously.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

...

[Hint, you get 240 experience points.]

[Hint, you get 190 experience points.]

[Hint, you get 270 experience points.]

...

[Congratulations, level up, upgrade to level 6 of Marrow Refining.]

[Congratulations, level up, upgrade to level 7 of Marrow Refining.]

[Congratulations, level up, upgrade to Marrow Refining Tier 8.]

Horse heads kept falling to the ground.

The war horses were locked in the stables, and all their heads were exposed as they ate, making it as if they were stretching their necks and waiting for Zhao Hao to come and chop them up.

Early this morning, Zhao Hao was still a waste who hadn't gotten started in his cultivation. It had only taken a few hours to evening, and he was already a relatively strong cultivator with a cultivation base of Marrow Refining.

"Who would dare to laugh at me as trash again?"

After cutting the horses down, Zhao Hao left the stable and saw a straw shed with dozens of chickens locked in it.

Zhao Hao felt a bulb light up in his head and he headed into the straw shed.

"Your Majesty, you... won't even let go of the chickens in the coop." Huang Diewu was left speechless.

"Ahem, ahem, is it too cruel?" Zhao Hao himself felt a little bit shy.

"Yes. Very cruel." Huang Diewu nodded vigorously.

"Cruel? Li Tianba caused chaos and has traded his country's lands. He should have been cut into pieces." Zhao Hao smiled again and said logically: "since he isn't here at the moment, that means that as long as there are living things in this mansion, they are all to be killed!"

"What the emperor said is right." Huang Diewu could only nod her head.

[Hint, you gain 2 points of experience.]

[Hint, you gain 3 points of experience.]

[Hint, you gain 1 point of experience.]

...

Zhao Hao set fire to the chicken coop and the straw shed collapsed during the burning. Zhao Hao's mind then began to vibrate constantly with the system messages.

[Congratulations, the level has been improved, and it has been upgraded to the 9th level of Marrow Refining.]

"It turns out that it's better to be more brutal." Zhao Hao grinned as he upgraded. He decided to be brutal in the future and not even let a mosquito or housefly go. Mosquito meat is also meat. Huang Diewu: "..."

"All the humans and animals are dead, what's the use of this General Marshal's mansion?" Zhao Hao laughed and threw a torch into a large haystack not far away. In his anger with the general, he had forgotten his plans for the mansion as he was too eager to cleanse it.

...

"Look, there's a fire inside."

"What's the matter? What happened inside?"

"No, it seems something is not right."

Outside the mansion, there was a commotion among the three armies, and the imperial troops whispered to each other. The three commanders looked at each other with a blank expression.

Dong Zhuo was standing in front of the gate with a huge sword on his body, curling black flames on his body, and a pair of fierce eyes staring at the three armies.

"Whoever dares to move forward will be killed!" He reminded fiercely.

At this moment, Li Yao was even more miserable and close to death. His groans were almost gone. He was about to be tortured to death.

Under Dong Zhuo's deterrence, the three armies did not dare to step forward.

Soon, the soaring flames covered a large area of ​​the sky, and it was obvious that the entire Grand Marshal's mansion had been submerged in the sea of ​​fire.

"Noooo! it seems that the entire Grand Marshal's mansion is on fire."

"How could this be? What is going on there?"

The fire blazed into the sky, the three armies were in chaos, and the commotion was getting bigger and bigger.

"Crack...squeak..."

At this moment, there was a deep sound and the door slowly opened.

The turbulent three armies lifted their heads and looked together.

"Ling Ling Ling, Ling Ling Ling..."

The sound of shackles dragging on the ground spread to everyone's ears, making people shiver uncontrollably, giving rise to a sense of horror of a shackled demon moving around in hell.

Suddenly, everyone from the three armies took a deep breath.
