This outcome was unexpected by all.
Even the Zhou Family War General couldn't intervene in time, because he had never considered that Chu Hao would actually make a move—putting himself in someone else's shoes, he would never risk his own life just to blast away a Warrior. So, naturally, Chu Hao shouldn't either risk his own life to kill a Martial Sect.
But it was this carelessness, or perhaps self-righteousness, that led to Zhou Xin's death.
This guy really has some nerve, everyone thought to themselves, killing someone right in front of a War General. That's not only audaciously reckless but also akin to asking for death. It's baffling how his brain works.
The Zhou Family War General regained his senses from his initial shock and then flew into a rage.
How dare he kill his junior right in front of him—although he had already decided to kill Chu Hao, he was a War General, and what was Chu Hao? In his presence, it all came down to how he wished to proceed.
