Chapter 259: Chapter 115 Forbidden Treasure! Demon Monster Crystal Core!_3
“He… could he have obtained a demon monster crystal core?”
The man in the ox-head mask couldn’t help but be curious about this.
Su Changkong’s eagerness to know the method of using the demon monster crystal core, didn’t this mean that Su Changkong might possess a demon monster crystal core?
And did he come across this demon monster crystal core by chance, or did he actually kill a demon monster to obtain it?
But the man in the ox-head mask naturally didn’t dare to ask, fearing that Su Changkong might misunderstand.
At the same time, the man in the ox-head mask also worried whether the man in the ape-face mask in front of him might have malicious intentions, such as forcing him to steal the pill recipe or something. Thus, the man in the ox-head mask added, “This pill recipe is known only to me, and it exists in my mind.”
Su Changkong pondered. The man in the ox-head mask probably wasn’t lying to him, the method of using a demon monster crystal core wasn’t that simple; refining it into pill medicine was the best way!
And that required a pill recipe!
Even information and intelligence related to demon monsters were deliberately concealed and hidden by the Great Flame Empire, let alone the pill recipe for refining pill medicine with a demon monster crystal core; it was even more difficult to find.
The man in the ox-head mask wanted to use this pill recipe as a bargaining chip to make a trade with Su Changkong! According to the ox-head mask man, this pill recipe, which takes the demon monster crystal core as the main ingredient, could enhance one’s martial arts power when refined into pill medicine!
If he could obtain it and successfully refine it into pill medicine, then Su Changkong’s Turtle Breath Technique or Giant Whale Skill might be able to break through again.
The man in the ox-head mask was anxiously waiting, while Su Changkong was contemplating.
“Tell me, who do you want to kill?”
After a long while, Su Changkong slowly spoke, asking who the man in the ox-head mask wanted to kill before making a decision; he was indeed very interested in the ox-head mask man’s pill recipe.
But the only way to obtain it could be through the ox-head mask man’s voluntary offering.
After all, even if Su Changkong subdued him and forced him, the man in the ox-head mask might not submit, and even if he did, should he deliberately tamper with the pill recipe, Su Changkong would still come up empty-handed.
Seeing that there might be a chance, the man in the ox-head mask immediately said, “The two people I want to kill are utterly wicked and deserve to die a thousand times over! They are absolute villains!”
Su Changkong nodded slightly. If the target the ox-head mask man wanted him to kill had no grudges against him and were even extremely upright and kind people, then Su Changkong would surely find it difficult to act. Although he wasn’t a good person, he had his own principles and wouldn’t kill innocents indiscriminately for some benefits.
If the two people the ox-head mask man wanted to kill were indeed utterly wicked, then Su Changkong would naturally not feel a burden on his conscience to kill them.
The man in the ox-head mask said through gritted teeth, “The two people I want to kill are the brothers Chen Xingwen and Chen Xingwu.”
“Who are they?” Su Changkong didn’t recall hearing these names before, so he asked.
“These brothers are chiliarchs of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry!”
The man in the ox-head mask revealed their identities.
“Chiliarchs of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry?”
Hearing this, Su Changkong couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.
The Dafeng Iron Cavalry was undoubtedly an elite force known to everyone in Dafeng State City, maintaining the size of four hundred thousand men, concentrating resources for training, and only the finest were selected to join its ranks!
Within the Dafeng Iron Cavalry, the hierarchy was clearly defined, the highest rank being the Four Great Generals, followed by the Chief of Ten Thousand, chiliarchs, centurions, and chiefs of ten.
According to The Dafeng Chronicles that Su Changkong had read before, Mu Jin, who was born in a family that had existed for a millennium, held the rank of Chief of Ten Thousand in the Dafeng Iron Cavalry.
And chiliarchs already held a significant status within the Dafeng Iron Cavalry, commanding a thousand elite Iron Riders. To hold such a rank, one had to not only have military achievements but also be a martial arts powerhouse to command respect, otherwise, it would be difficult to convince the troops.
Chen Xingwen and Chen Xingwu, these two brothers, were both chiliarchs of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry, with formidable strength. In Dafeng State City, they were also quite well-known figures!
Su Changkong furrowed his brow; this was undoubtedly a troublesome matter. Not only were Chen Xingwen and Chen Xingwu powerful, but killing them would not be easy, let alone the fact that they were backed by the Dafeng Iron Cavalry. Killing these two would surely incite the fury of the entire Dafeng Iron Cavalry, which would seek out the killers with full force; this was akin to slapping the face of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry.
The man in the ox-head mask said fiercely, “These two are unforgivable beasts! I had already grown tired of the world’s conflicts and was living in seclusion in a small village with a wife and son, a happy family. But three years ago, when I was out on an errand, rebel soldiers hid in the small village and the Dafeng Iron Cavalry came to kill them, led by the Chen brothers!”
“The Chen brothers didn’t care that the rebels were using ordinary villagers as hostages, which would have been fine, but to gain military merit, they ordered the massacre of the entire village, sparing no one – men, women, and children. This included my wife and newly born son… Not only that, they cut off the heads of all the villagers, pinned the blame on them as rebels, claiming they were all part of the rebellion. Because of this, the Chen brothers were credited for quelling the rebellion, got promoted, and became chiliarchs in the Dafeng Iron Cavalry.”
The man in the ox-head mask clenched his teeth so tightly they made noise, his fists balled up, veins popping out. Although his face was not visible, Su Changkong could feel the hatred and anger of the man in the ox-head mask.
Su Changkong listened in silence. The Chen brothers were indeed ruthless; in pursuit of military commendation, they killed the innocent, falsely accused a group of civilians as rebels, and wiped them all out!
