Chapter 194 - Absolute Command
Upon seeing this scene, not to mention the two city guards, even the cold and emotionless Azure was shocked and creeped out by this outcome.
What kinda frightening power was that? She could tell that these people didn't cut their own throats obediently just because Ling Chen asked them too.
In another word, Ling Chen must have used some kinda mysterious power to force them to do it against their will.
To make matter worse, from start to finish, she didn't see Ling Chen use any battle technique. The strangest part was that she didn't even feel any energy fluctuations coming from him.
He simply commanded them to take their own lives and they actually did so without struggling like puppets.
At this moment, Azure was looking at the lifeless corpses of the bandits on the ground in silence. Despite her high cultivation base, she was still unable to understand how Ling Chen was able to kill them without lifting a finger.
For experts like them, a powerful opponent was not particularly frightening. No matter how strong an opponent might be, there would always be a chance to surpass them by exploiting their flaws and openings.
The scariest thing was not knowing why an opponent was so strong and the lack of knowledge regarding their battle techniques or hidden powers.
'It seems like fifty people are my limits with the Absolute Command eye power.' Ling Chen inwardly thought as he was looking at the corpses of the fifty bandits on the ground.
Just like the Gaze Of Destruction, the Absolute Command was one the eye power that Ling Chen had awakened over the past three years roaming in the Heaven Suppression Region.
However, unlike the Gaze Of Destruction, The Absolute Command Gaze allowed him to impose an irresistible command or his will upon any living beings.
He could literally command anyone and unquestioningly bending them to his will. It didn't matter what the victims think or feel, as long as they felt prey to his Absolute Command, they became his slave and puppets for a short period of time.
Furthermore, though the commands are usually spoken, Ling Chen's intention was what truly matters.
However, just like all of his Eye Abilities, the Absolute Command Gaze has his own weakness. It could only work on people that were weaker than him.
Furthermore, the power of the Absolute Command Gaze varied with the strength of the opponent. While Ling Chen could command dozens of Martial King, he could only command two low levels of Martial Saints at most.
Additionally, the duration of the command also varied with the strength of the victims. While the command given to a Martial King Warrior might last more than an hour, the command given to a low-level Martial Saint could only last a few seconds or so.
"Let's go." Ling Chen nonchalantly said as he glanced at the lifeless corpses of the bandits before he walked towards the gate of the city.
Seeing Ling Chen walking towards the city gate, the two city guards didn't dare to dawdle as they quickly opened the gate for him with cold sweat dripping down their faces.
They usually charged people to enter the city, however, none of them dare to ask Ling Chen for money.
"It seems like a monster has entered the city. I have to quickly report everything that happened here to the City Lord." One of the city guards said in quivering voice after Ling Chen left.
..........
After entering the city, Ling Chen began to observe his surroundings as he was walking down the streets.
Like many small cities, the streets of the Black Iron City were about eighteen to twenty meters wide with shopfronts on both sides of the streets.
However, despite having shopfronts lining both sides of the streets, it lacked the bustling and the prosperous atmosphere found in many small cities throughout the Sun Demi-God Domain.
Furthermore, not only the streets were dirty and in bad condition, most of the doors and walls of these shops bore fighting marks from swords and bloodstained.
Along the way, Ling Chen would occasionally come across a puddle of blood which was a clear sign that either someone had just been killed there or the sign of a fresh deadly battle.
Furthermore, Ling Chen also realized that almost every single person he encountered along the way emanated a heavy bloodlust. Even the little kids running around in the streets exuded a wild and vicious temperament.
Not only that, but the entire city was also filled with a dense death aura as well as a strong smell of rusty blood.
"This city is really polluted." Murmured Ling Chen as he smelled the stench of death and blood in the air.
This density of death aura and this stench of blood could only form after thousands and even millions of people dying in the same place from a period of time.
As Ling Chen was casually strolling along the streets of Black Iron City, looking around, the people in the streets were also observing him with a curious and unfriendly expression on their faces.
They could tell that Ling Chen and Azure were new to the city. Not only that, but they could also tell that they were loaded from the way they were dressed.
"That young lady is very beautiful. If she could spend a night with me, then that would be a true pleasure!" Blurted out one the men walking in the streets with his face filled with lust as he was undressing Azure with his gaze. Saliva almost began to pour out from his mouth as he was looking at Azure's voluptuous body.
Not only him but there also many people walking around the streets that have been attracted and mesmerized by Azure's beauty and body as well.
"She is indeed beautiful. She is way better than those chicks in the red district."
"You're right, I wouldn't mind spending a few golds just to spend a night with her."
These men didn't even bother to hide their intention or lower their voices as they were talking about Azure.
Even though Azure didn't show any displeasure on her face, Ling Chen could tell that she wasn't happy about the way these men were talking and looking at her.
However, she didn't dare to do anything. In her mind, she was nothing but Ling Chen's sword and would only act if she were ordered to.
Meanwhile, the men that were lusting about Azure continued to talk about her. One of them even was brave enough to follow them.
Seeing this, Ling Chen didn't say anything. He merely glanced at him. However, in the next moment, his body suddenly started trembling as he fell on the ground while screaming in pain.
Ahhhhh!
In a split second, a stream blood started to gush out his mouth and nose before he stopped moving and turned into a lifeless corpse.
"Hey, Old Hong, what happened to you?"
"Why is he bleeding?! Shit! He's not breathing!"
"Damn, Old Hong is dead, what happened?! Who did this?!"
The others became panicked and their faces showed terrified expressions. A man who was alive and kicking just one second ago had now turned into a bloody corpse.
Furthermore, they found out that all his internal organs have been destroyed and turned into a bloody goo after they've checked.
While they were trying to find out what happened to Old Hong, both Ling Chen and Azure have already disappeared from the street like a pair of ghosts.
