The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294 - Live for Ourselves! Overthrow the Devouring Thunder Ant Tribe!

Lei Jia was taken aback.

Lie Yong's face suddenly changed color, and he immediately knelt to check on Chen Ang. He placed his fingers under Chen Ang's nose, but he found no breath.

"He's dead! He's dead!"

"It's all Lei Jia's fault; he beat Chen Ang to death!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly.

In an instant, voices erupted like rolling thunder.

The people of the Fire Ant Tribe glared at Lei Jia, the man who had killed Chen Ang before their very eyes.

Lie Yong clenched his fists, as if suppressing a towering rage, "Lei Jia... Even if we couldn't pay the tribute on time, was there any need to kill a child... He was only sixteen this year, having just celebrated his Insect Orifice Ceremony... How could you, an insect master of the Devouring Thunder Ant Tribe, commit such an act...!"

Lei Jia's face turned pale, and he instinctively stepped back. He looked down at his hands.

Impossible. He had always known his own strength. The whipping was meant only to vent his dissatisfaction and to serve as a warning to others. He had not intended to actually kill the young man named Chen Ang.

Lei Jia vaguely felt that something was amiss, yet he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Lei Jia was uneasy, "There must be some misunderstanding here. I was very measured with my strike; he couldn't possibly be dead..."

Lie Yong tightened his fists, "Are you suggesting that my Fire Ant Tribe would use the death of a promising young child to slander and frame you?"

Lei Jia was at a loss for words. That seemed unlikely as well.

"Kill him! Kill him!"

A stone suddenly flew, striking Lei Jia on the head.

"Kill this mongrel! Avenge Chen Ang!"

"The Devouring Thunder Ant Tribe has always oppressed us! Overthrow the Devouring Thunder Ant Tribe! We must live for ourselves!"

The crowd erupted with even louder voices.

Lei Jia's complexion turned even paler. He retreated continuously, "There must be some misunderstanding. Let's talk this over. Your tribute can be delayed; I'll personally speak to the tribal leader..."

Lie Yong roared, "No amount of delayed tribute can bring Chen Ang back! You deserve to die!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, two Fire Ants leapt forward.

Lei Jia hadn't even reacted before their sharp mandibles slashed across his neck.

With a snap, his head was severed from his body!

The remaining few Bronze Insect Masters from the Devouring Thunder Ant Tribe had no chance to resist and were killed by the enraged people of the Fire Ant Tribe.

Lie Yong ascended to a higher ground, his voice booming, "Fellow tribespeople! The Devouring Thunder Ant Tribe is tyrannical! Extortionate! They disregard human life! They are corrupt to the core! We must not remain vassals of the Devouring Thunder Ant Tribe; we must live for ourselves!"

His words echoed the sentiments of all the Fire Ant Tribe people.

"Live for ourselves! Overthrow the Devouring Thunder Ant Tribe!"

Their voices merged together, roaring like continuous thunder.

...

Chu Xuan, as an observer, witnessed the entirety of the Fire Ant Tribe's war to annihilate the Devouring Thunder Ant Tribe.

From the outset, Lie Yong's strategy was one of blitzkrieg—a decapitation strike, to be precise.

He lured the formidable insect masters of the Devouring Thunder Ant Tribe to the Fire Ants and killed them.

The Devouring Thunder Ant Tribe, being a mid-sized tribe, had a very strong foundation.

A prolonged war would undoubtedly be disadvantageous for the Fire Ant Tribe.

Thus, the quicker the fight, the better.

Ideally, before the majority of the Devouring Thunder Ant Tribe could react, all their Gold Insect Masters would be killed in a swift, thunderous assault.
