Bloody Emperor - Chapter 21 Dai Zhis Nightmare

“What the hell is going on?” A cultivator in the fifth-layer of Qi Refinement asked in a severe tone. But inside, he was scared to death and praying to any god that might exist and save him.

“How am I supposed to know !? They just started screaming out of nowhere.” Another man from the group of cultivators who was standing near the gate spoke.

“It must be obvious that the boy came. We all go together because he is the only one, and we have a numerical advantage. Even though he is stronger than Wei Ping, he cannot defeat us all.” A man who looked older than the others spoke. He was the father of Dai Wen and a secondary part of the Dai Family.

“Yes, Captain!” The other men who appeared to be the majority between the ages of thirty and forty spoke together in a motivated tone. Then the group that had a little over twenty cultivators ran towards the gate.

As they were near the gate, it didn’t take more than a minute to get there. It is easy to see Nero as he was not hiding and was standing at the gate, looking up to the second floor of the mansion with a smile on his face.

“You bastard! Don’t think you can come and attack the Dai Family anytime you want.” The man they called captain spoke with an angry look.

“Do you think you could kill Wei Ping and continue to come back here without consequences?” Encouraged by their captain’s courageous words, the men freely began to curse Nero.

“Don’t think you ca-?” Before the man finished speaking, his head was already flying.

“How!? Before anyone understood how Nero killed the man so fast that no one can even see another one die.

“Argghh!” Some of them had time to shout, but no one in the group escaped alive. Nero wanted to kill everyone and quickly so there would be no unforeseen events, so he was using full speed and the Qi Guardian’s gauntlet.

“Please wait. You don’t have to kill everyone!” One of the men that Nero kicked was still alive. Even though he was severely injured, he crawled with his hand raised towards Nero, asking for mercy.

“Hum? I have a feeling I’ve seen you somewhere.” Nero crouched in front of the captain, who was on the ground badly injured, but that now had a little hope that he was not going to be killed instantly.

“I don’t think we met, but maybe you think I look like my son. Yes, I have a son to raise. He and my wife will not be able to live decently without me to take care of them.” The man certainly much wanted Nero to have compassion for him, so he started talking, and when he thought about being similar to his son, he started talking about the family thinking that Nero would feel sorry and not kill him.

“Perhaps you are right. What is your son’s name?” Nero had an idea of who he might be, but if the captain knew what he was getting into, he would have hit his head on the ground until he died for being so stupid.

“Dai Wen, he is a good young man.” The man proudly spoke but then saw a strange smile on Nero’s face and thought something was wrong.

“So good that he was beating a wounded and weak woman. A woman that no one will touch without suffering my fury!” The captain didn’t even have time to regret it before his head was crushed by the iron bottom of Nero’s boot.

“I wonder if your little fox thinks so highly of you like that.” Sarah couldn’t help but comment about how Nero cared so much for Marie even though they didn’t know each other.

“I do not know either. I’m probably not rationalizing well about non-humans after my family was killed. Maybe I’m too broken?” Nero knew that killing a lot of people he had never even seen by someone he doesn’t know is too much.

Even though Marie suffered a terrible injustice and was a cute non-human, Nero still knew that killing everyone was not right. But he didn’t care about right or wrong, he would do things the way he wanted and killing humans for whatever reason or for no reason was okay for him.

“Maybe you’re broken. If so, I must be too. But who cares? Our family died, and now we are all that’s left each other. So fuck the world, kill everyone you want. I will always support you.” Nero was sure that no one in the universe would be more compatible with him than Sarah. Even in insanity, they were perfect for each other.

“Well said, my dear. Now let’s say hello to our viewers on the second floor.” After Nero entered the third layer of Qi Refinement, he was feeling much more powerful than before with his senses better and better so he could hear people talking about him on the second floor of the mansion that was more than two hundred meters away from him.

“Aw!” “Ohh!” “Ahh!”

Dai Dong and his daughters, who watched Nero through the window, were shocked when he looked directly at them through the broken window in the mansion’s second-floor room. It seemed that he could hear even though they were speaking in a low tone.

“He’s really a demon.” Dai Dong commented sadly, already without hope.

“A demon that we provoke.” Dai Jingyi could only shake her head with thoughts that all this could be avoided just by not attacking a simple non-human.

“Is he really going to kill us?” Dai Zhi still did not believe that it was happening. She really wanted everything to be a nightmare.

“Of course! And I will start with you, Miss Dai.” The group formed by Dai Dong and his daughters was not alone in the room. Many servants of the Dai Family left the mansion out of fear, but many still remained loyal and were all gathered in the living room.

Then a voice came from behind everyone, scaring them to death. Everyone who had not yet passed out from fear saw Nero standing at the door looking at them with a sinister look. Most did not even think about how he got there so quickly but prayed to any god who can save them. Many even wished for a quick death in order not to suffer from this tension anymore.

“Aaah!” “Aaaahh!!” “Help me, please!” “Someone, please!!!”

It was a bloody scene when Nero entered the room, ripping people in half with his bloody gauntlet. Many tried to run, and others to attack him, but it was as if a wolf entered a chicken coop. Cultivators of the sixth and fifth layers of Qi Refinement could not do anything against Nero, who killed without mercy.

In the midst of that bloody slaughter, Dai Dong took courage and attacked Nero with his martial technique inherited for generations.

With his super senses, Nero could saw in slow motion when Dai Dong conjured with his hands a rough crystal ball that reflected with a strange red light. He could feel the heat coming from the sphere that Dai Dong threw at him with all the strength he could.

Nero could dodge the ball that was less than a foot in diameter. But he wanted to block with the gauntlet and test the resistance.

*Clank* *Crack*

Everyone heard a metallic collision sound when the sphere hit Nero’s gauntlet, which had raised his forearm then, less than a second later, the sphere broke into thousands of fragments as if it were dust.

Nero was surprised by the strength of the red ball as he didn’t think much about Dai Dong’s strength. But even so, the defense was almost perfect with only a small piece of the gauntlet breaking with the direct collision with the ball.

“Your Guardian Qi is really amazing!” Sarah exclaimed in Nero’s mind when she noticed the gauntlet repairing itself almost instantly after taking damage. “And it will get harder and stronger when you get to more advanced layers and realms.”

“I am proud of you, Little Red.” Nero stroked his gauntlet with a kind look on his face as if he were looking at his son. He was making Dai Dong almost vomit blood.

“Now, do you understand a little of the feeling of despair that Marie felt when you and your group of thugs were beating her up?” Nero spoke to Dai Zhi as he walked towards her. He was walking slowly and avoiding the mutilated bodies on the floor, causing Dai Zhi to panic. Well, she never stopped being panic since Nero arrived, and no one still alive there could blame her.

“Y-Yo-You-I-I-I-I didn’t k-know it was wrong. You h-have to understand! W-we and non-humans are natural enemies!” Dai Zhi couldn’t even speak complete sentences. She gave trembling paces backward, stuttering as Nero walked towards her.

“You, damn humans will always be prey to us!” Nero thought so, but he would not say out loud why it would only cause problems if his prey knew that they were hunted in their own territory.

Dai Don knew that his martial technique was useless against Nero, but he could not see his daughter being killed so easily, so he ran towards Nero with all the speed he could and prepared to engage in hand-to-hand combat and hope for his daughters to escape.

*Crack*

Dai Dong heard the sound of his spine breaking before he even felt the terrible pain that came when Nero dodged his blow then faster than anyone there could see. Then came after Dai Dong and kicked his back so hard that he did the poor man’s body arched unnaturally.

“Dad!!!” Dai Jingyi ran to help her father when he was thrown into a wall by Nero’s kick.

Then Nero turned again and went towards Dai Zhi. He walked slowly, taking great pleasure in seeing the desperation on her terrified face.

“N-noooo, pleaseeee!” Dai Zhi continued to walk backward until she reached the wall then fell to the floor, crying and pleading with her face already all covered with tears and phlegm. But it got worse. Because of so much fear, Dai Zhi pissed himself soaking the floor around her.

“You are a very pitiful stupid girl. Now, do you regret it?” Nero asked, finding it all very entertaining.

“Y-yes, yes! Please, I will never do anything like this again.” Dai Zhi nodded like a chicken pecking corn saying that she was sorry.

“So you think I would save you just because you regret it? I am not some kind of merciful God, you know.” Nero couldn’t stop ‘playing’ with Dai Zhi.

Dai Zhi was going from heaven to hell when Nero looked like he wouldn’t kill her and then making jokes. She was unable to contain her tears and urine, which had already made a big mess all over her clothes and the floor.

“I think it’s enough fun. Say hello to the afterlife if it exists.” Nero talked jokingly but then remembered that he absorbed the souls of those he kills with Dark Soul Stone, so there is no way to know what kind of terrible destiny they suffer.

“Wait!” Nero was not surprised that Dai Jingyi got in front of him because he heard her movements. But he still found it unexpected that she had the courage to go against him. She was just a fourteen-year-old girl and was there protecting her sister in such an extreme situation.

“You are a very brave, little girl,” Nero spoke with a strange smile, but Dai Jingyi was not afraid and stood her ground.

“Don’t you think you’ve gone too far? I don’t need to be an adult to realize that.” Dai Jingyi spoke bravely. She was almost sure that nothing would stop Nero, but she still had to try.

“Perhaps. But who’s going to stop me? You?” Nero was enjoying the evening more and more. Terrifying Dai Zhi was excellent, but he was also enjoying seeing this little girl’s serious expressions.
for visiting.

“Of course, I don’t have the power to stop you, and I don’t think anyone in this city does.” Dai Jingyi was grateful that Nero was listening to her words but was also concerned that she did not have a plan in mind and had to think quickly about what to do for her and her family to live.

“You are an interesting little girl. But I don’t care, and I’m going to kill your sister. Just get out of the way before I help you do that.” Nero was prepared to move Dai Jingyi out of the way when he saw a sparkle in her eyes, and then she raised her hands, waving awkwardly.

“I have a suggestion! I will speak quickly, so please listen to me, and if you don’t like it, you can kill us all.” Dai Jingyi was panicking, but then she thought about saying that she had something in mind, but she was actually just saying random things that she thought.

“It’s all right. So say your plan right away.” Nero couldn’t deny that he was a little curious about what the little girl would say.

Dai Dong and Dai Zhi, who were the only others alive there, were passed out from pain and fear. Nero and Dai Jingyi were standing in the middle of that bloody scene looking at each other with similar thoughts.

‘What kind of idea did this young Miss have?’
