Doomsday Code

Chapter 1067 Taming

"Who are you? With your methods, my brother and the others shouldn't dare to offend you."

Anthony leaned against the big tree and looked at Chen Cheng, asking a question.

But Chen Cheng shook his head and said:

"That's not something you should be asking. Since you still have the energy to talk, then change your clothes."

I don't think you want me to change it for you.

Chen Cheng tossed him a set of clothes.

"No need, I can do it myself."

Chen Cheng walked a few steps away, waited for a moment, and then heard Anthony say that it was done.

Turning around, Anthony was no longer wearing his armor. Because of his injuries, he now looked somewhat like a frail young master from a wealthy family.

Chen Cheng approached him, put the armor on the ground into his spatial ring, and picked up the sword from the ground and tossed it to him.

Then, smiling, he patted him on the back and said:

"Take this sword for self-defense, and remember not to do anything unrelated to this again next time."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng touched the tree under which Anthony was leaning, and a hidden mark was revealed.

Instead of clearing the hidden marks, Chen Cheng dragged Anthony away to hide in the shadows.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for those searching for Anthony to find him by following the clues.

"This is what happens to you for doing this."

After Chen Cheng finished speaking in a deep voice, he immediately pounced out.

Before Anthony could even utter a word of warning, he watched as Chen Cheng slaughtered his men with punches and palms. Anthony could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

After dealing with the group of people who came looking for him, Chen Cheng clapped his hands and then made a crushing gesture in the direction of Anthony to warn him to be careful in the future.

He went to Anthony's side, brought him to the body, and said:

"Aren't you furious and want to kill me? Well, this is what happens when you meddle."

"If you have enough strength to kill me, then feel free to do so. If you want to lure others here, I don't mind staying here first and eliminating the count you serve."

Chen Cheng threw Anthony to the ground and coldly watched him weep while holding his subordinate's corpse.

Chen Cheng wasn't a pervert; it's just that things developed too suddenly, and now he's all alone in this unfamiliar kingdom of Como. He needs a guide.

Anthony's abilities and social standing make him the best candidate he can find right now.

To deal with someone like Anthony, besides overwhelming him with absolute strength, you also need to instill fear in him.

For a knight, nothing is more terrifying than the life or death of the lord he serves.

Seeing him cry, Chen Cheng knew that Anthony's arrogance had been dealt a blow, and he could finally relax a little.

After he finished crying, Chen Cheng said coldly:

"Get up now that you've rested enough, we still have a long way to go."

Chen Cheng's description of his subordinates' weeping as a form of rest only intensified the shadow Chen Cheng cast upon him.

Anthony was no pretentious person, and he didn't say he wanted to collect the bodies of his men, because he knew Chen Cheng would absolutely not allow it, and might even use more devilish methods to torture him.

"Very good, it seems you've adapted."

Chen Cheng nodded.

The two then disappeared from the spot, one after the other.

After traveling for dozens of days, Chen Cheng finally realized just how vast the territory of a great kingdom truly was.

At their current speed, they could have made several round trips in the Kingdom of Moss long ago.

However, in the Kingdom of Como, they had only traveled halfway, and it would take at least another ten days to reach the capital of Como.

Although the two hadn't spoken much during their journey, Anthony still had some guesses about Chen Cheng's identity.

What he was most certain of was that Chen Cheng was very likely a reclusive legendary disciple, and his recent emergence from seclusion was probably to find the Ascended God who had previously caused the strange phenomena in the heavens and earth.

The reason Anthony thought this way was because the two of them had encountered many God Seekers along the way. These people not only had strange methods and were extremely powerful, but their target was also the capital of Como.

As for Anthony's speculations and doubts, Chen Cheng offered no explanation. All he needed was Anthony's familiarity with the route; as for anything else, he could think whatever he wanted.

"A hundred miles ahead is Tianshui. The Tianshui River is three hundred miles wide. There is a Crocodile Dragon King and a Red Fish King in the river. These two beasts like to hide during the day and come out at night to devour people on both banks and those crossing the river."

The Kingdom of Komo is truly worlds apart from remote places like the Kingdom of Mos. Not only are there abundant natural treasures here, but even beast king-level magical beasts can be found every thousand miles.

The fact that the Tianshui River can support these two beast kings is enough to demonstrate the abundance of resources in the river.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Cheng didn't want to be the first to act, and instead landed with Anthony a hundred miles away.

"Since we are nocturnal, let's rest here for the night and continue our journey early tomorrow morning."

Anthony didn't know why Chen Cheng suddenly became so weak. According to his usual temperament, he would have been more concerned about the Beast King's territory than anything else, and would have just been rushing to get there without caring about anything else.

“I’ve been here before. There’s a restaurant about twenty miles ahead. We can rest there.”

The two arrived at the restaurant Anthony had mentioned, one after the other. Upon entering the lobby, they could see that the restaurant was indeed doing well, with all the seats, large and small, already occupied.

"What would you like to order, sir?"

"Check into the hotel, and get two good rooms next to each other."

Chen Cheng took out two gold coins and tossed them into the servant's hand.

But the servant exclaimed:

"I'm so sorry, our best rooms are all full. If you don't mind, we would like to have a couple of medium-sized rooms."

Moreover, the bedding and other toiletries in the small shop are changed and washed every time; even the mid-range rooms are no worse than the superior rooms in other inns.

This young servant certainly knows how to do business; he gave his own family a long praise.

However, the reality is that there are no other inns or restaurants within a radius of dozens of miles except for this one.

"You've got a way with words, kid. How come your godforsaken place is packed? Is there some kind of treasure that's been discovered here?"

The servant looked troubled.

Chen Cheng nodded at him and said:

"You sneaky fellow, I've already paid you the money, are you trying to pocket it?"

"Alright, two rooms in the middle, I'll register you right away."

"Now that we've taken the money, shouldn't we talk about that treasure?"

Chen Cheng reminded him with a smile.

"Hey, what treasure? All the customers who come to my shop are going to the capital. I heard that the newly emerged God-Ascensionist is going to make an appearance at the Council."

Chen Cheng was indeed unaware of this news; he had been so focused on getting on his way that he had no idea such news had come out.

Chen Cheng nodded calmly, then took the room key handed to him by the servant and, led by the servant, went to the room that had been opened.

Although it wasn't exactly luxurious, the servant wasn't lying; their central room was indeed quite nice.

Chen Cheng then took out another gold coin and gave it to the servant, saying:

"Arrange some good dishes and a pot of good wine for us, and the rest is a tip for you."
