Supremely Talented Tyrant

Weiwei let out a cold, mocking laugh, like a madwoman, "Cheng Weiwei, do you see now? This is what happens when you trust Chu Zhixin."

"Enough, now is not the time to argue who's right and who's wrong. The military has arrived, let's run!" Kang Zhi anxiously said, knowing that once the troops caught up to them, they would undoubtedly die.

"You can't escape now."

A light voice rang out, and a man wearing a military uniform, leaning on a crutch, led a group of soldiers over, surrounding Cheng Weiwei and the others.

"One-Legged General!" The expressions of Cheng Weiwei and others drastically changed, all terrified of this infamous executioner from Atama.

One-Legged General glanced indifferently at Cheng Weiwei and the others, then pointed nonchalantly at one of the male volunteers, "Chop off his head for me."

The volunteer couldn't understand what the One-Legged General was saying, but by his gestures, he knew something was terribly wrong. He screamed wildly but was seized by the soldiers and had his head chopped off.@@novelbin@@

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I came to help you, we are friends!" Kang Zhi yelled, becoming somewhat hysterical.

"What did he say?" the One-Legged General asked a subordinate.

"He said he came to help us." The subordinate sneered, then looked at Kang Zhi, "We don't need help!"

"You want to die?" the One-Legged General tapped Kang Zhi's head with his crutch, and the subordinate translated for Kang Zhi.

Kang Zhi quickly shook his head, "I don't want to die, please don't kill me."

Kang Zhi started crying, his pants wet, his mental defenses completely collapsing in the face of death.

"If you don't want to die, then eat his flesh!" One-Legged General pointed at the decapitated volunteer's body, his face adorned with a maniacal smile.

"No, I can't do that." Kang Zhi, tears and snot mingling, replied; asking him to eat human flesh was just too demented and outrageous for him.

"Eat or die!!" One-Legged General's gaze hardened, and he struck Kang Zhi's head with his crutch. Blood instantly flowed from Kang Zhi's head.

At that moment, a soldier pressed the barrel of a gun against Kang Zhi's head, ready to kill him at any moment.

"You are all going to Hell!" Little Mei shouted like a madwoman, collapsing under her own despair, wishing only for a swift death.

Because she knew if she didn't die, she would be brutally tortured by the One-Legged General.

"Damn woman!" One-Legged General scoffed, "Chop off her head!"

"Come on, come and kill me! Come chop off my head!" Little Mei laughed loudly, her face revealing a relieved smile.

"Hao Jian, come quickly!" Just then, Cheng Weiwei also roared desperately, her voice echoing throughout the village.

"Hoo."

The wind started blowing.

"Swish!"

The sound of clothes tearing through the air was heard; under the night sky, a figure dashed over like a ghostly apparition.

"What is that?" the One-Legged General exclaimed, feeling a cold shiver over his body, the air seemingly dropping in temperature in an instant. Just now, he saw a dark shadow flash by.

"General, behind you!" Just then, a group of soldiers shouted out in terror, staring fearfully behind the One-Legged General.

Cheng Weiwei focused her eyes and also saw a dark figure standing behind the One-Legged General, motionless and silent.

One-Legged General was scared out of his wits, but before he could turn around, he felt a coldness on his neck—a sharp blade pressed against his throat, followed by a chilling, gloomy voice, "So, you like toying with others, huh?"

One-Legged General's hair stood on end.

"Hao Jian!" Little Mei and Kang Zhi, among others, all showed wild joy.

And Cheng Weiwei was crying tears of joy; seeing Hao Jian at that moment was indescribable. She initially thought Hao Jian would be angry with her and leave Atama, but Hao Jian hadn't left. He had been protecting her all along.

At that moment, Cheng Weiwei felt a deep shame and wished she could die, after having insulted Hao Jian, who didn't care at all and continued to protect her.

Cheng Weiwei was full of regret, realizing how ungrateful she had been.

Hao Jian, naturally, wasn't angry with her; after all, he was Xu Donghe's friend and shared Xu Donghe's intelligence. In his eyes, Cheng Weiwei was just an immature little girl. How could he possibly hold a grudge against a little girl?

"Leave the General alone!"

The soldiers all turned their guns towards Hao Jian.

Hao Jian chuckled, then swung his knife.

"Hmph." One-Legged General grunted; his entire arm was chopped off by Hao Jian and before he had the chance to scream, Hao Jian spoke again.

"Have your men put down their guns, or next time it will be your head!"

One-Legged General's eyes shifted, then he roared, "Put down your guns!"

The soldiers could only obediently lay down their guns. Without their restraint, Cheng Weiwei and the others immediately ran to Hao Jian's side. Everyone's face showed the joy of surviving a calamity and endless gratitude towards Hao Jian.

As she passed Hao Jian, Cheng Weiwei said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

"Why say sorry?" Hao Jian appeared indifferent.

Cheng Weiwei looked up in astonishment, only to see Hao Jian smiling and winking at her.

At that moment, a strange warmth surged into Cheng Weiwei's heart—this guy, he wasn't angry!

Soon, Cheng Weiwei smiled too, but her smile was mixed with tears.

"Come behind me," Hao Jian said.

"Okay," Cheng Weiwei nodded obediently, relieved as she walked behind Hao Jian.

"Who are you really, do you know that you can't escape from Atama if you kill me?" the One-Legged General threatened harshly. As a general, he had never been insulted like this before.

But Hao Jian did not respond to him; instead, he turned his head to look at Cheng Weiwei and smiled, saying, "Once, I too wanted to save the world just like you, but later I realized I couldn't, so I gave up. Since then, I have detested people with your unrealistic dreams until today, I finally understand that my hatred was because you dare to do what I didn't."

Hao Jian showed a relieved smile, "It was you who ended my confusion. I can't save the world, but I can save people!"

Cheng Weiwei was instantly taken aback, and then nodded excitedly, giving Hao Jian a look that was both encouraging and approving.

Then, Hao Jian laughed as he beheaded the One-Legged General.

With the death of the One-Legged General, he could save many innocent people. And although many like the One-Legged General would still appear in Atama, at least he'd already saved some.

If he couldn't save everyone, he chose to save some.

He is the God of Death, but he only reaps the lives of the wicked!

"Kill him!"

The Atama soldiers all went berserk, raising their machine guns ready to spray bullets at Hao Jian.

However, Hao Jian pulled out a heavy machine gun he had been carrying on his back, a cold smile crossing his lips, "May God be with you!"

"Bang, bang, bang, bang."

The heavy machine gun sprayed flames wildly, the frenzied sound of gunfire trembling the ground itself.

Hao Jian, holding the hundred-pound heavy machine gun with one hand, continuously mowed down the soldiers' lives, his terrifying and unmatched figure forever etched into the minds of Cheng Weiwei and the others.

This man was unbeatable; this man was both a Demon and a God!

In just five minutes, Hao Jian had slaughtered all the fully armed soldiers, truly achieving a feat of one against a thousand. The rest were left fleeing in disarray.

His visage would become a nightmare they'd remember for the rest of their lives.

"Alright, now, it's time to go home," Hao Jian turned back, smiling broadly at the crowd.

The others were still dazed but snapped back to reality upon hearing his words.

Xiao Mei was particularly excited, rushing forward and hugging Hao Jian, her voice trembling, "Hao Jian, thank you, really, thank you."

Seeing Xiao Mei hug Hao Jian, Cheng Weiwei, for some reason, felt somewhat uncomfortable.

After releasing Xiao Mei, Hao Jian opened his arms to Cheng Weiwei, teasingly saying, "What, aren't you going to give me a hug?"

"I certainly will not," Cheng Weiwei said proudly, not wanting to do the same thing as someone else.

Hao Jian laughed heartily, his laughter echoing in the night breeze.

"He is a Heavenly God!"

Just then, the villagers who had been fleeing in disarray ran back, kneeling before Hao Jian, calling him a Heavenly God with extreme reverence.

"What does this mean?" Hao Jian was immediately confused.

Xiao Mei laughed, "That's because the One-Legged General was known as the 'Butcher who can never be killed' in Atama, and legend has it that only a Heavenly God could kill him. But you killed him, so naturally, they regard you as a Heavenly God now."

"Is there such a messed-up story?" Hao Jian was astonished.

"Atama's culture is backward; it's understandable that people think this way. Besides, doesn't every warlord like the One-Legged General give himself a grandiose title? It serves to intimidate their enemies and deceive more people into submission," Xiao Mei analyzed.

Hao Jian nodded, understanding that it was similar to his nickname, "God of Death."

Hao Jian hadn't expected that an unintended act would deify him?

Suddenly, the roaring sound of engines from afar grew louder, and several military trucks slowly approached.

"Could it be the remnants of the One-Legged General?" everyone gasped in shock.

"There's no flag of the One-Legged General on the vehicles; it shouldn't be," Hao Jian shook his head.

Then, they saw a dwarf jump down from a truck and quickly run towards Hao Jian.

When Kegemo saw the One-Legged General's beheaded corpse and the bodies of soldiers scattered around, he too was visibly shocked, but he was sure he hadn't come to the wrong place.

"The Dwarf Assassin Kegemo?" the Atama civilians couldn't help but jump in fright; another ruthless character had arrived, and this Kegemo was not any less formidable than the One-Legged General.

But now they were not afraid, because they had Hao Jian by their side.
