37: Chapter 37 Bloody Suppression

"A bunch of ignorant little brats! Since you've come, don't bother leaving. Help liven things up for me and my brothers! It just so happens that I, this Commander, want to change up my taste, hahahaha..."

After hearing Commander Xu Meng's words.

The generals behind him also began to clamor one after another.

Although they all saw that General Chu Batian and his group were somewhat extraordinary, emboldened by their drunkenness, their numerical superiority, and Commander Xu Meng's backing, they joined in the clamor.

"Haha... what the General says is right, we should also change up our taste..."

"This General likes this kind of sturdy build; it's got flavor, haha...!"

"General, don't waste your breath on them; let's take them down first, lest there be complications later!"

"Haha... rest assured, in our Guard Battalion, what kind of waves could they possibly stir up?"

"Brothers, attack! Take them down for me!"

...

Upon hearing Commander Xu Meng's order,

though reluctant,

they still charged towards General Chu Batian and his group.

A group of ignorant people.

They completely failed to notice that the moment Commander Xu Meng began his verbal abuse, the expressions of General Chu Batian and his group had turned completely grim.

One must know.

Before being summoned by Wang Chen, they were originally iron-blooded generals who had fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

They held almost harsh requirements and a sense of honor for soldiers.

And this scene before them—

the commander drunk and overbearing, the generals acting like hooligans, and the soldiers as undisciplined as street thugs.

This was simply a desecration of the word "army," and the most vicious defilement of the faith in his heart!

The anger General Chu Batian had been suppressing in his chest, like magma deep underground, could no longer be contained.

"You scoundrels!"

A low roar.

Like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens, it exploded directly in the Void Realm.

The terrifying murderous intent contained in the voice instantly turned the soldiers who had just rushed up into blood mist!

He took a single step forward.

"Boom..."

Accompanied by a loud noise, spiderweb-like cracks spread several zhang from the center beneath his feet!

It was as if blood-colored light was flowing over his silver armor; his eyes were fixed on Commander Xu Meng, no longer cold, but filled with a rage that would burn everything to ashes!

"This General, acting on the decree of Your Majesty, oversees all troops under heaven to rectify military discipline!"

His voice was no longer calm, but like a cold wind blowing from the depths of Hell, every word carrying the force of a thunderbolt.

He slowly raised his right hand; the movement was slow, yet it seemed to pull the weight of thousands of mountains and peaks.

"The Guard Battalion has crossed the bottom line of military law and is beyond saving!"

"Guard Battalion Commander Xu Meng, dereliction of duty, corrupting military discipline, your crimes—are—unforgivable!"

Every word,

was like a heavy hammer, smashing fiercely into Commander Xu Meng's heart.

It smashed him mostly sober, and the arrogant look on his face was quickly replaced by astonishment and disbelief.

Unfortunately,

General Chu Batian did not give anyone time to react; his gaze, like lightning, swept across the generals behind Commander Xu Meng who were still dazed or attempting to clamor.

"You accomplices who followed in rebellion, colluding in evil, shall be punished—with the same crime!"

The last four words were like the final funeral bell, ringing over everyone's heads.

General Chu Batian did not hesitate any longer and swung his raised arm down heavily!

That swing,

did not resemble a human hand, but rather a giant axe splitting the heavens!

"This battalion is no longer an army of the Imperial Dynasty, but a den of filth and corruption!"

"Today, this General, using the authority granted by Your Majesty, shall execute thunderous means!"

"Purge the Guard Battalion!!"

"Kill——!!!"

The moment General Chu Batian's "Kill" word, sounding like the roar of a demon god, left his lips,

the group of fierce generals behind him had already transformed into hurricanes of death, sweeping out with a roar!

No warning.

No formation.

Not even unnecessary movements.

It was the purest violent crushing!

Several Celestial Realm commanders didn't even move their feet, just narrowed their eyes slightly and pressed down on the Void Realm.

"Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff——!!!"

Led by Commander Xu Meng, the dozens of Advanced Guard Battalion generals who were just clamoring, leering, and making noise, whether they were Grandmaster Realm or the few Great Grandmaster Realm,

at this moment,

it was as if they had all been hit simultaneously by an invisible primordial divine mountain!

No screams.

No struggle.

They didn't even have time to fully display expressions of terror.

Like a group of rotten watermelons placed on a chopping block, they exploded instantly under the impact of a giant hammer!

Red, white, shattered bone fragments, rotten viscera...

mixed with the fragments of their magnificent armor, like the bloodiest fireworks, they burst open in the same instant!

A thick, nauseating scent of blood instantly shot into the sky, dyeing this area a crimson red!

The violence and cruelty of the scene,

simply surpassed the limits of a normal person's imagination!

In fact,

it wasn't that they had to use such a bloody and cruel method, but rather the ultimate release of the pent-up rage and shame in the hearts of these fierce generals under General Chu Batian, who had truly crawled out of iron-blooded battlefields and mountains of corpses and seas of bones!

The rot of the Guard Battalion was a trampling of their lifelong faith!

Only such cruel means could slightly wash away the anger in their hearts!

But this,

was just the beginning!

Nearly three hundred figures did not stop, and like tigers entering a flock of sheep, they crashed straight into the surrounding ordinary Guard Battalion soldiers!

This time,

even the ten Celestial Realm commanders, including General Chu Batian, did not need to make a move.

Those fierce generals of the Great Grandmaster and Grandmaster Realm, with every gesture, stirred up waves of bloody death!

The efficiency was terrifyingly high.

And cruelly appalling!

The people brought by General Chu Batian did not differentiate targets at all; as long as someone was wearing the Guard Battalion uniform and standing, they were within their range of indiscriminate attack!

Of course, they also knew.

Most of these low-level soldiers were just coerced, numbed, and did not deserve to die.

Many were even innocent people just following orders!

But at this moment,

right and wrong were simply unimportant; even if they were innocent, what could it matter?

Rage and an iron-blooded view of military discipline overwhelmed all pity.

Without this, it would not be enough to establish authority!

Without this, it would not be enough to cleanse this deep-seated, intractable illness!

Without this, it would not be enough to carve the word "fear" into the marrow of this army in the most blood-drenched way!

If one must blame someone,

then blame their bad luck for being born into this rotten Guard Battalion!

In just a few breaths of time!

With the main camp tent as the center, within a radius of several miles, it had already turned into a sea of blood in Asura!

Severed limbs and broken arms covered the ground in a thick layer, thick blood gathered into small streams, flowing gurglingly, soaking every piece of land.

The blood mist permeating the air was so thick it couldn't be dispersed, and even the sunlight seemed to have turned an eerie dark red.

Tens of thousands of lives,

were easily harvested like grass!

The remaining Guard Battalion soldiers, regardless of distance, as long as they saw this hellish scene, all froze in place.

Fear.

Boundless fear!

Like the coldest viper, it tightly coiled around their hearts and strangled their throats.

The weapons in their hands clattered to the ground.

Many people couldn't even manage to stand.

"Thump!"

"Thump! Thump!"

...
