045 Suspicion and estrangement(1/2)
"What's going on here?!"
Many hunters looked at the messy castle hall with shocked faces.
Everyone saw Zhou Jing standing on the body of the short-haired man and pulling out a long knife.
"Jason?!"
Weiss screamed.
The others also recognized Zhou Jing, who was covered in blood, and felt shocked.
During the day, Jason only drank and chatted with them in the tavern. How could he go on a killing spree in the lord's castle at night? And he was hurting both of them!
What happened during this half day!
Because they were unclear about the situation, many hunters didn't know what to do. They stopped at the open door and made no move. They stared blankly at Zhou Jing dragging the blood stains and moving step by step.
In full view of everyone, Zhou Jing staggered towards the stairs leading to the second floor.
His vision was blurred, his jaw was broken, and he was in severe pain like torn nerves.
His chest and abdomen suffered the heavy blow from the short-haired man who was about to die. Many ribs were broken, and his internal organs were also shattered. If it weren't for his [Tenacious] talent, he probably wouldn't have been able to stand up.
Suffering such a heavy blow, he was injured more and more, and he was already at the end of his strength. Before, he held his breath to maintain the lightning attack, squeezing the last strength from the bones, and then took advantage of the only opportunity to revive his followers to exchange injuries for injuries.
Kill the short-haired man.
After succeeding at this time, Zhou Jing could no longer maintain his strength. His strength was flowing away rapidly. He was bleeding everywhere in his body, and he couldn't even lift the knife.
This body has fatal injuries, coupled with the collapsed genes, it is no longer possible to survive...
Life is like a candle in the wind, death is so close, and the remaining life is probably counted in seconds.
Zhou Jing knew that his death was imminent, so he dragged his broken and heavy body towards the lord.
Dozens of guards crowded in front of the stairs. Seeing Zhou Jing stumbling closer, they all hurriedly retreated up the steps and crowded into the corridor on the second floor.
Every time Zhou Jing took a step forward, many guards hurriedly took two steps back.
After witnessing the battle just now, they were all frightened. At this moment, they were only afraid of Zhou Jing.
Even though he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, it looked like anyone could knock him down, but still no guard dared to step forward to hit him and kept retreating.
At the end of the corridor behind the crowd, Root's face was pale and his teeth were trembling.
He wanted to turn around and escape upstairs, but his legs and feet refused to obey him.
The short-haired man had been steadily gaining the upper hand before, so Root watched the battle calmly, not afraid of Zhou Jing threatening him at all.
But he didn't expect that the good situation would take a turn for the worse, and that his greatest confidence would be killed on the spot!
His attention was focused on Zhou Jing and the short-haired man throughout the process. After Ross was easily killed, he did not pay attention to the corpse lying on the battlefield. He only thought that it was a soldier who was sent to die.
So when Rose came back to life and quietly attacked the short-haired man, Root didn't understand the situation at all. He also didn't notice how Rose's head grew back. His first reaction was that he was dazzled and the short-haired man was careless and didn't kill Rose.
Only then did he have the energy to get up.
At this moment, no one around can stop Zhou Jing!
Root finally panicked.
Although there were more than thirty guards in front of him separating himself from Zhou Jing...
Although Zhou Jing only had one breath left...
But as the evil spirit surged into the sky and Zhou Jing, who looked like an evil ghost, slowly approached, Lute still felt suffocating fear!
He seemed to be able to see Zhou Jing walking through the crowd and nailing himself to the wall with a knife!
Let me tell you how I feel now...
Regret, quite a lot of regret!
The seven guards of different blood were all dead, and even the short-haired man was hated!
Who knew this guy could fight so well?!
"Save...save..."
Root stammered when he suddenly saw many hunters gathered downstairs. His eyes suddenly lit up and he was ignited with hope, as if he had found a life-saving straw.
He shouted loudly towards the many hunters who were confused:
"Hunters, stop him quickly! He wants to kill me!"
After the words fell, several hunters subconsciously took steps to rush to the second floor to stop Zhou Jing.
But the next moment, Weiss suddenly raised his hand and stopped several people.
Several people turned around with surprised expressions.
"What's wrong? Why don't you stop Jason?"
"If he wants to attack the lord, we can't just watch, right?"
Weiss did not respond immediately. He looked at the dying Zhou Jing, his face twitching.
With his eyes, he could also see that Zhou Jing's injury was likely to be fatal.
After all, he was a companion who had been teaching for three months and had fought side by side. Seeing Zhou Jing's miserable appearance, Weiss was shocked and angry.
The traces of a bloody battle for the rest of his life cannot be faked.
He really wanted to know what happened to Zhou Jing in the half day after he said goodbye to him.
Since Jason went to the lord's castle, there must be a reason, and it must be related to the lord!
"If you don't know what the situation is, don't take action." Weiss said quietly.
Someone hesitated and said: "How can you not take action? After all, he is the lord. You can't just watch Jason kill him, right?"
Hearing this, many hunters looked at each other.
They didn't know why Zhou Jing got into a fight with the lord's men, but something must have happened.
But Lute is the lord, and everyone doesn't know what to do.
Logically speaking, they should protect the lord, but from the perspective of hunters, they should also protect their own people.
It's impossible to help Jason kill the city lord without knowing anything about it.
After all, there has never been a precedent before where a hunter of exotic beasts wanted to kill the city lord!
Seeing that many hunters hesitated to intervene, Lute became anxious and shouted quickly:
"I don't know what happened at all. He killed my guards inexplicably, and then suddenly rushed into the castle to kill me. I don't even understand what happened! If you have any questions, stop him first and ask again!"
Hearing this, several hunters thought it was reasonable, no longer hesitated, and rushed to the second floor to stop Zhou Jing.
The other hunters had no choice but to follow.
One of the hunters rushed to Zhou Jing's side and immediately held down Zhou Jing's shoulders.
"Stop it, what's going on?"
Zhou Jing stopped and turned to look at him.
The hunter's heart skipped a beat, and for some reason, he subconsciously let go of his hand.
Zhou Jing ignored him and looked past the dozens of trembling guards with increasingly blurred vision to look at the nervous Root behind him.
My body no longer has the strength to move forward.
This is the final blow...
He raised the knife with difficulty and threw it out, as if all his strength had been exhausted.
call out……
The blade rotated and flew through the crowd.
But halfway through, he lost strength and fell from the air.
A clanking sound.
The long knife stained with blood fell in front of Root.
thump!
Lute sat paralyzed on the ground, looking at the long knife on the ground in horror, trembling with fear.
At the same time, Zhou Jing's body also fell down and fell to the ground with a thud.
Many hunters were startled.
Weiss hurriedly squatted down, supported Zhou Jing, checked for breath, and said in a deep voice: "Dead."
Hearing this, the faces of many hunters changed, and they didn't know what their expressions were.
I felt sad and angry at the death of a fellow hunter, but I couldn't stop feeling confused.
"He...he's dead?"
Root heard it from a distance, and his heart suddenly dropped.
To be continued...
