Chapter 291: The crucible of War 4

The city of Glow part 2

/*unedited*/

Seeing the stunned reaction of the wolfman Shin Jiao showed a sheepish smile on his face, and then he patted Agnes' head and then said with while gritting his teeth.

"This is my sister, she's a little bit out of her… you know," Shin Jiao said while giving a sign that the woman beside him is crazy to the wolfman.

Feeling a bit confused and weird out from Shin Jiao's behavior Agnes knits her brow. However, she has already realized what she has blurted and just kept her mouth shut and just pouted.

Her reaction was truly attractive that the wolfman just stared at her with a love-struck expression.

"Ahem… We just need to enter the city and rest. On the way, we have encountered some demons and killed them, so I need to wash this stench." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

When the wolfman heard his words, a sudden realization appears in his expression.

And upon seeing the reaction of the wolfman, Shin Jiao knew that what he is thinking is correct. The beast clan can detect demons due to their heightened sense of smell.

The three were able to enter the city following the wolfman. Shin Jiao discovered that the wolfman is a very chatty guy. From him, he learned a lot about the city.

As a gate guard, the wolfman named Li Yong has been serving as a guide and scout for the city for almost ten years. He has a small family of three, which is uncommon for his kind. He felt lucky as a gate guard than being a city guard patrol. This is because of the underground forces within the city which made their job and love in peril.

Shin Jiao was shocked to know that there are at least millions of people living inside the city, and many of them are refugees.

He then heard about the cultivator's army who just entered the city not too long ago. He knew that because of the invasion there is a current peace between the cultivators and the beast clan.

Not long later, Shin Jiao, Agnes, and Jin Yu Ji entered the huge city of Glow. However, instead of the usual hustle and bustle of a huge city, what greeted them is a gloomy and dark atmosphere.

"Hey, guys take care inside the city and… don't trust anyone." Li Yong warned as he went back to his post.

"What does he mean?" Agnes asked as she showed confusion in her eyes.

As a powerful being, Agnes is truly indifferent to a lot of things and didn't care about any danger. This is because she can sense that there are no other beings in this city that can threaten her.

Shin Jiao warned her not to be impulsive because he didn't want to attract more trouble. He plans to stay low key and then continue on their way. But of course, fate would always play its hand to those who least expect it.

Right at this time, a burly huge beast that looks like a bull suddenly blocked their path.

On his face shows a lascivious smile as he looks at Agnes with greed. Then beside him are two small one-meter tall beasts that look like weasels.

"My… my… what a beauty!" one of the weasels said with a grin.

"Boss, we can take her and then f*ck her. After that, we can sell her at a high price. A human with this grade of beauty is priceless. Keke…"

The two weasels said without hiding their intent in the middle of the road.

"Lawless, this place has become this lawless." Shin Jiao thought as he shook his head.

He knew that if he didn't do anything and let Agnes erupt with her temper, it would be a blood bath.

"Brothers, beforehand I would like to warn you to be courteous to us. We don't want you to lose your lives because of your greed." Shin Jiao said with provocation.

His goal is to attract the attention towards him so that Agnes would be inconspicuous. But of course, it is hard because as long as people see her beauty it would truly cause trouble.

Upon hearing the arrogance in Shin Jiao's tone anger immediately filled the hearts of the three trouble makers.

"Haha, we are part of the underground. You don't have the ability to stop us. We want that girl if you want to live then hand her over." This time the bull-man said with contempt.

With a smirk in his face, Shin Jiao didn't reply anymore and just made his move.

Peng!

Peng!

Peng!

Three figures suddenly flew out and embedded themselves in the nearest wall.

They could not even say a single word and before feeling any pain from the attack the three have already lost their consciousness.

"You… you are hiding something from me." Agnes muttered upon seeing Shin Jiao's action.

She knew that if she has not put up her shield, she would have been injured by that move. Agnes is fast, but she is not that fast.

As an Elemental Lord, she is a demon mage focused on dealing with a wide area of damage to her opponent. That is why Elemental Lords are feared in the magus land.

Of course in the cultivation land, a nascent realm cultivator which is equal to an Elemental Lord or Grand Paladin is also a very powerful existence.

"Hey, I'm just a lowly human remember. Hehe…"

"Who are you kidding? I can feel the mana in your body, though I cannot determine how strong you are. But I'm sure that you are very strong, maybe just a bit weaker than me. Hihi…" Agnes said with a teasing smile.

Shin Jiao didn't reply as they just continue moving through the streets. But it only took them a few steps when a voice stopped them in their tracks.

"Well, now that ain't nice. You are new to the city and is already causing us some trouble." The voice said as a figure of a wolfman with yellow and black fur around his body. Unlike Li Yong, this wolfman looks powerful and imposing.

"We are just passing by and do not want to be threatened one way or another. If you did the same as those guys, I don't mind giving you a good beating." Shin Jiao said without fear.

He has already realized upon arriving in the city that they have entered a territory. It seems that the underground force that Li Yong was talking about is right in front of them. So if this is the case, then there is no need to hold back. If he made a mess in these parts, the authorities won't get involved hence they can still hide their presence.

"Haha… arrogant brat. We control these parts of the city and I am the authority here. Since you hit my men, then prepare to die!" the wolfman said with a snarl.

With a signal from his hand, around a hundred of beast-men suddenly appear from all over the area, from the roof, the hidden alleys, and the streets, blocking Shin Jiao and the other two's path.

"Don't take any action; I will take care of everything." Shin Jiao said.

If the aura of the demon queen erupted inside the city then it would be a different story. Hence Shin Jiao decided to just take down this gang.

"Now, I want the two men to die and take the woman alive. I will enjoy her myself, har, har, har…" the wolfman said with a command to attack.

Peng! Peng! Peng!

Puchi!

Bang!

Shin Jiao didn't hesitate this time. Since the underground is a big problem of the city from the words of Li Yong, then why not do a good deed and clean these trash up.

The rapid-fire of the sub-machine gun is truly an amazing sight. Combined with Shin Jiao's mark using mana, each bullet turned into a god of death to those who are hit.

It didn't take long for Shin Jiao to take care of more than 20 beast-men. Upon seeing their comrades being killed like flies, the rest of the beast-men jumped to the ground and many ran all over the place trying to find a hiding place.

The wolfman is already on the ground shaking in fear. He could not believe his eyes that in just a blink of an eye already 20 of his men have died.

"Yo, it's your turn now." Shin Jiao said while turning the smoking muzzle of the gun towards the wolf man's direction.

"No… no… no… young… young lord, please forgive me for being too blind and not recognizing your prestige. This lowly one would not bother with you and your woman. Please… please spare my life."

"Hehe… Now that's the right attitude. Bring me to your leader if you want to live." Shin Jiao commanded.

"Umm… Young… young master, I… I am the leader of this area. I control everything in these parts."

When Shin Jiao heard this he squinted his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then turned his eyes to the wolfman.

"From now on, you work under me. I want a peaceful night. Prepare a room for the three of us." Shin Jiao commanded.

"Yes… yes… young lord." The wolfman said.

But as he turns his back a glint of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

Shin Jiao immediately felt it and without a second word, he raised his hand and a black blade appears. Then in a flash, he disappears from his place and then suddenly appears in front of the wolfman.

A black-furred wolf's head flew high up in the air spraying crimson blood around the place.

Silence immediately blanketed the area.

Then not long later a large group of people suddenly appear and stood in front of Shin Jiao and his group.

"You are the new master! We await your command!"
