Abyss Summoner

Chapter 578 - 565: The Spark of Order

Blood splattered everywhere.

Flesh flew everywhere.

This place had become a bloody workshop, where no one could escape punishment.

Apart from the gore in front of them, there’s one more thing; these people were all renowned professionals.

The punished were like cattle, awaiting their final judgment.

No!

Pigs and sheep can still struggle a bit when being slaughtered, but these were nothing more than ants, as they had already been tightly bound, just to ensure a smoother execution.

The excessive fear suddenly threw everyone’s thoughts into chaos...

Many began to plead for their lives, offering excuses like temporary confusion or promises of never daring to offend again. But what’s done is done. With the emergence of new powers and the promulgation of dozens of rules, the entire city had undergone a significant change. Yet in this environment, some people still failed to see reality and disregarded the rules, continuing to act arrogantly and abusing their power in the city, constantly breaking several established rules.

Without exception, these people were professionals. After awakening, they possessed powers far stronger than ordinary people. To them, a long time ago, they already regarded themselves as the Upper-class. Hence, when the rules were introduced, advocating equality for all, dissatisfaction began to brew in their hearts.

Among these arrested individuals, besides cases of forcing women against their will, many found killing as a way to vent their daily frustrations. Though they thought their actions were flawless, little did they know that Chen Feng had already uncovered their deeds. After a period of silence, he ordered their arrest, and the severe offenders were executed directly!

A skinny man knelt on the ground.

He was like a wriggling maggot, crawling out awkwardly from the sunken, soft mud, his face smeared with yellow mud, obscuring his expression. However, the frantic twisted lines on his face and his blood-red eyes, like a vengeful ghost’s, revealed the raging storm and fury within him!

"What’s wrong? Just had fun with a few women and it’s a capital crime? What kind of bullshit rule is this? Hahaha, so what if I’m scum, Ma Liang? The apocalypse is here, and I’ve already turned my life around. Those so-called high-ranked officials and rich merchants are nothing but dogs before me, not daring to make a sound... I’ve lived enough, do you think I’m afraid of death?"

Ma Liang tilted his head back, spreading his arms wide as if he were a Demon Monarch ruling the world, hysterically yet hopelessly shouting:

"I’ve made my life worthwhile! Already made enough profits, mark my words, next life I’ll still be a bastard... Fine, kill me now!"

Ma Liang knew he couldn’t survive; anyone witnessing the extinction of a dozen lives right before their eyes might go a bit mad.

His disdain was merely a testament to his death wish, aiming to catch the executioner’s attention to hasten the end of his life.

However, all his efforts were in vain.

Because the executioners were not human. Facing such brutal punishments, even the strongest human would be traumatized. Thus, all these executioners were armored Skeleton Warriors.

The Skeleton Warriors were cloaked, wore metal helmets, and gloves, making the condemned believe they too were human. But they knew not that their pleas were directed at a horde of unconscious Undead Creatures!

Perhaps only the Undead Creatures could act so ruthlessly.

"Kill me! Why won’t you kill me?!"

Gradually, another batch was sentenced to death, but the more it happened, the more frantic Ma Liang became, his pupils dilating, his lips trembling slightly, clearly at the brink of his endurance. In such circumstances, even the strongest would buckle under the pressure; simply put, his mental state had completely collapsed.

Ma Liang, eyes wide with madness, shouted, greeted by the swift slice of two blades!

Finally, it was his turn!

Face flushed, Ma Liang lay on the ground like a wretched little dog, utterly helpless, acutely aware of life swiftly leaving his body. It was a painful yet exquisite death.

Though his body endured unimaginable pain, the mental pressure lifted entirely, blood trickling from his mouth as his vision began to blur.

He died.

In the Battle of the Gorge, he had stood on the right side, and under normal circumstances, he should have advanced another step. But after violating Chen Feng’s rules, he left this world with regret.

...............

"Sir, all nineteen have been executed..." Yan Xiu stood on the side, tremblingly reporting the situation to Chen Feng.

He was in charge of this execution; nineteen people, including some silver-tier powerhouses. Yet such a potentially rich group, had all lost their lives.

Their crimes were not treason, at best they just toyed with a few women.

Indeed...

To Yan Xiu, playing with women was nothing, even in peacetime, which high-ranking official or wealthy merchant didn’t have a mistress or two?

This world has never lacked those who covet wealth; to the powerful, women were nothing more than commodities to be enjoyed. When liked, they were exclusive, but once worn out, they’d be tossed around among peers.

Unethical?

No!

The so-called shackles were merely rules for the impoverished; the wealthy and powerful truly could do as they pleased.

It was so in peacetime, let alone under current circumstances?

Darkness reigned, humanity had already become twisted, and women, after being toyed with, were always given food. To Yan Xiu, such changes were deeply ingrained, humanity’s distortion had eradicated any semblance of law.

Yet who would have thought that such commonplace violations had turned into capital crimes?!

Chen Feng sat beside him, abruptly stating: "Do you think I’m a bit unreasonable?"

Yan Xiu flinched, hurriedly responding: "What are you saying, sir? These villains deserved to die, you’ve done nothing wrong!"

Yan Xiu’s will to survive was already maxed, his face showing disdain.

Chen Feng glanced at Yan Xiu, his deep eyes seemingly unveiling his thoughts, nonchalantly saying: "Without rules, nothing can be achieved. The Gorge is rotten to the core; it needs severe punishment to be cured!"

"What I want is to restore this city to its original state. A place without law, without fear, where everyone lives recklessly—do you like such a beastly life?"

"Law?" Yan Xiu was silent for a long time, Chen Feng’s words were beyond his imagination. The man who single-handedly slain thousands and destroyed countless families wanted law to be restored?

He wanted the city to return to its initial state, with laws and reverence, where although social divides existed, no one took pleasure in humiliating or slaughtering others.

But... the world has changed, can one man’s strength really sway hundreds of thousands of minds?

After a while, Yan Xiu mumbled: "Is this possible?"

"It is!" Chen Feng’s eyes were full of certainty. At this point, he thought of the distant Qiaodong.

He too had built a paradise for humans amidst the wasteland.

Chen Feng gazed at Yan Xiu, speaking with utmost determination: "I want to ignite the spark of Order here!"
