Compared to Su Wen and the others, Wu Lie was in a completely different situation. He was currently in a native village, enjoying the gazes of worship. “Young Master Wu! You left too quickly! It’s all thanks to you helping me chase away those people from the Demonic Tiger Clan, otherwise, we wouldn’t know what to do!” Wu Lie, who had achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation, had become extremely strong combat wise! He saved a besieged village. A pretty girl said proudly, “Of course, look who invited Young Master Wu back.” At this point, the girl gave Wu Lie a knowing look.
She had helped Wu Lie hide the fact that he was an outsider.
She was the one who introduced everything about this world to Wu Lie! Thus, Wu Lie settled down in the small village.
On the other side, Su Wen and Ni Hongxiao suddenly heard a faint cry from far away. “Daddy…”
“Ah Hu…”
“Where are you guys?”
They walked out of the cave and looked at Wu Feng, who was standing guard outside. Wu Feng commented, “The people we killed last night should be from a tribe or village… The rest should be out looking for them now.” “How are the humans doing here?” Su Wen asked. Wu Feng shook his head and said, “Although there are some powerful aristocratic clans that can establish themselves in the city, most humans are still relatively weak. Some of them who manage to occupy the oases with better resources can lead better lives. For example, this oasis is small and has poor resources. Naturally, those living here will not lead a comfortable life…” At this moment, Ni Hongxiao came to Su Wen’s side and asked with a smile, “Do you want to kill all of them?” Su Wen hesitated for a moment. Kill them all? This was the rule of this world. If he wanted to become stronger and wanted a better cultivation method, killing people seemed to be the best choice.
However, Su Wen still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. If it were those people who attacked them last night, he naturally would not hesitate. But what about these people? One could see Su Wen’s hesitation. Ni Hongxiao saw his expression and softly said, “You can do whatever you want. Anyway, we still have plenty of time. Furthermore, is it that important to become stronger or not? Doing what you want to do is the most important. If you have to do everything according to other people’s thoughts, what’s the point of living?” Wu Feng shook his head and said, “It doesn’t matter if you kill them or not. You’ve already killed the strongest combatants in the village. Even if you choose to do nothing, they will still die!”
“Ahhhhh!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a shrill scream came from afar.
The natives began to flee in panic.
Following behind them was a group of creatures with similar dark skin. However, compared to Wu Feng, they were much smaller and were clearly not of the same race. Their skin was like pockmarks and they looked disgusting. They had a pair of large eyes and a wagging tongue, and even possessed tails! The Black Lizard Tribe, one of the low-level demon tribes in this realm.
These natives fled in panic. Once they failed to escape in time, they would be killed by the sharp claws!
One of the woman’s ankles was grabbed and she was immediately pulled down!
Two Black Lizards immediately charged forward and sliced her throat with their claws. One of them conveniently sliced downwards, digging out her internal organs. Blood appeared on the Black Lizardman’s hand. He opened his mouth and swallowed it. Slaughter seemed destined to forever be the theme of this oasis.
When Su Wen and the others caught up to them, they realized that the natives had already run back to the village. They were gathered together and were fighting against the Black Lizard Tribe with some fortifications at the outskirts of the village! However, at this moment, Su Wen saw a charred human bone on an extinguished bonfire in the middle of the village! Beside the bonfire, there was the clothes of the fatty from yesterday.
Thinking back to last night when that person held Fatty’s saber, Su Wen instantly understood Fatty’s fate!
He felt a nauseous rise from within him!
He looked at the men, women, and children in the village. At this moment, he only felt an unparalleled disgust. “Is this a common occurrence?” Su Wen asked. Noticing his gaze, Wu Feng shook his head and said, “Not really. Usually, unless one is really starving to death, there are not many cases of creatures of the same race eating with each other. It might be because a few races have different habits, but this oasis seems to have very little resources.” Su Wen felt like there was a ball of fire burning in his heart. The Black Lizards below him looked disgusting, and so did the human natives!
He had an urge to kill everything!
“Huuu!”
Su Wen charged down! He unsheathed his saber and slashed at anyone he saw!
Be it the Black Lizard Tribe or the humans.
With every slash, Su Wen felt a sense of refreshment!
“They are nothing but just a bunch of man-made NPCs! Go f*cking die!” Su Wen brainwashed himself.
There was no hesitation in his actions.
He was like a wild beast that had gone berserk, charging into the crowd. Whether it was the Black Lizard Tribe or the humans in front of him, they were no longer living beings in Su Wen’s heart. Instead, they were NPCs created by the Nine Saints of the Human Race for the sake of training the human youths!
“Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!”
The blade entered the flesh and chopped off the head of a native from the Black Lizard Tribe.
Green blood sprayed out from its body, but Su Wen ignored it. “Hahaha! Die, all of you!” Su Wen totally immersed himself in the thrill of killing. The inner conflict in his heart had long disappeared.
Su Wen was even more satisfied as he sensed the increase in the Saint Qi in his body!
It was as if he could feel his experience points increasing Ni Hongxiao on the other hand stood at a vantage point, looking down coldly. To her, the Black Lizard Tribe was nothing else but good research material. Suddenly, she also moved. After she went down, a club appeared in her hand. She focused on beating up the weaker Black Lizard Tribe members. After she beat them down one by one, she then carefully killed them, afraid that she would damage the integrity of their corpses, before putting them into her spatial spirit tool! She then captured two more live specimens before watching as Su Wen continued killing.
Among these Black Lizard Tribe members, there were also quite a few 9th Stage Star Ranks, causing Su Wen’s eyes to turn red as he battled against them. With two consecutive uses of the Nine Waves Return to Origin, all of them were killed. Finally, everything turned quiet, and Su Wen also stopped his madness.
There were corpses everywhere.
He took out the Demon Martial Bead and began to absorb the Saint Qi from the corpses. The higher the cultivation of the corpse, the more abundant the Saint Qi it provided.
Inside the Demon Martial Bead, the black aura could be seen becoming denser at a rapid pace. Su Wen suddenly had an idea. If this thing had no upper limit… what kind of technique would it give after absorbing the Saint Qi of a million people? The killing intent in his heart intensified. Furthermore, as the Saint Qi in his body became denser, Su Wen suddenly felt that his perception of the outside world seemed to have become sharper. He could more acutely feel the presence of Origin Qi. At the same time, he could feel the Heaven and earth Origin Qi constantly surging into his body.
The effect that could only be obtained through cultivation was automatically activated when the Saint Energy accumulated to a certain extent. “Give me your poison!”
Su Wen walked to Ni Hongxiao’s side and said in a deep voice. Ni Hongxiao took out a packet of poison and handed it to Su Wen. Wu Feng, who was watching from the side, felt his heart pounding. He really wanted to stay away from these two people… Su Wen quickly found a water supply! He followed the supply upstream and soon found the source. The spring water gushed out from the ground and flowed downwards, watering the entire oasis!
Su Wen poured the poison in without hesitation.
Ni Hong smiled and said, “This poison of mine, even in running water, will continuously disperse, adhering to all sorts of sand and stones. It won’t be a problem for the poison to last for three days.”
Su Wen nodded. He wanted to see if killing a living being like this would give him Saint Qi! A day passed, and many animals, corpses, and all kinds of races gathered at the sides of the river. What made Su Wen depressed was that he did not obtain any Saint Qi at all! Obviously, according to the rules of the world, this method of using poison could not allow him to obtain any Saint Qi. However, a corpse was equally valuable to Su Wen!
The Demon Martial Bead could still absorb the Saint Qi of the corpse.
Ni Hongxiao was even more satisfied, as she easily obtained a large number of experimental materials.
“I should have done this a long time ago. Indeed, I am a genius!” Ni Hongxiao simply followed behind Su Wen. Su Wen would absorb the Saint Qi of the corpse before leaving it for her to collect.
They cooperated seamlessly.
To her, the Saint Qi was an unnecessary thing. Because the current her was completely unable to control that thing, nor could she use it to experiment. As for increasing her cultivation? This Miss didn’t care!
Just as Su Wen was sorting out his gains, he suddenly felt his heart palpitate. The feeling of being targeted appeared again. The Sorcerer God’s Golden Gu started swimming around his meridians crazily as if it was reminding him of something! Moving more on instinct rather than thought, Su Wen suddenly leaped to the side! At that moment, a huge snake head emerged from the ground. Just the snake head alone was five to six meters wide! It opened its huge mouth and snapped towards Su Wen. Fortunately, Su Wen had his guard up beforehand and dodged it. However, Wu Feng was not so lucky. He had no time to dodge and was directly bitten by the snake’s head! “Save…” The voice disappeared. Just like that, the three-meter tall Wu Feng was swallowed by the giant snake! Ni Hongxiao’s mouth was wide open as he looked at the giant snake and muttered, “This thing is a little interesting… But having such a huge body despite only having a 1st Grade Earth Rank cultivation doesn’t make any sense.”
Immediately afterward, the gargantuan python emerged from the ground. Su Wen gulped involuntarily. This thing was a little scary…
Suddenly, the huge python opened its mouth wide. Countless stone awls condensed out of thin air and shot towards Su Wen! “What the f*ck! This piece of sh*t even knows how to use long-range attacks?!” Su Wen let out a shriek as he stood up and sprinted away. “You stupid thing, you’ve kill all my rations! Do you know how long it took for me to make this place like this?” The huge snake head roared as it spoke. Su Wen’s eyes widened. So that was how it was. He finally understood why the people from that village were still here despite the lack of resources in this oasis. They even held a bonfire party when they got the fatty.
Because it was a rare time for them to celebrate!
All the creatures in the oasis were in reality just livestock for this guy. Livestock… being reared…. Su Wen’s eyes narrowed slightly. From the aura of this fellow before him, he should only be a 1st Grade Earth Rank. However, this massive body would definitely enhance his battle prowess significantly. “Thirty-five… thirty-six… thirty-seven…” Suddenly, Ni Hongxiao’s time counting could be heard from the side. She tilted her head to look at the giant snake and asked, “Doesn’t your stomach hurt? You shouldn’t be immune to my poison. Or is it that… you are not afraid of poison? Or is it that you don’t have the ability to digest quickly, and Wu Feng is still in your stomach? For such a big body, if you still have the ability to digest quickly, I’m afraid all the creatures here won’t be enough for you!” The snake did not understand what she was saying. However, it suddenly took action! The huge snake head swooped down straight towards them!
BAM!
Even before Su Wen could act… Several blue beams flashed, and the giant snake’s head was directly penetrated! Multiple holes with blood flowed out… And the python’s head directly smashed into the ground, convulsing non-stop. It probably would not be able to live for much longer… Su Wen recognized this light! The Polymer Cannon!
It was just that this thing was much thicker than Zhao Jin’s. Why did it emit a much thicker beam of light? Su Wen turned around and saw several expressionless corpses in the dark.
The hands of every corpse… no, it should be said that half of their bodies had been blown into bits…
Ni Hongxiao tucked a stray hair gently behind her ear as she spoke to the shocked Su Wen, “Although the Polymer Cannon is unstable and requires continuous True Qi guidance, if it’s used by a martial artist’s corpse, there’s no need to worry about injuring yourself. Just in case, I specially increased the power output. Look, I have new experimental materials now! However, this guy is too big and annoying.” “Heheheh…”
It was supposed to be a life-and-death battle… but…
“Are you sure you need to form an alliance with me?” Su Wen couldn’t help but ask. Ni Hongxiao nodded. “Of course it’s necessary. If it wasn’t for you distracting it, how would I have been able to set it up so easily? Also, do you know how expensive a Polymer Cannon is? If you can reduce its usage, then I’ll definitely do so! I’m not like you, Young Master Su, with a huge family business. It’s not easy to dig out some money from the funds that His Majesty allocated to us every year…” She suddenly reacted and exclaimed, “Aiya! I’ve let it slip. You’re a Secret Shadow Guard… Do you want to silence me…? What if I can’t beat you? Or… why don’t you touch me a few times and pretend you didn’t hear this?” “… Alright!” The two of them started harvesting the spoils of war again! Only this time, there was an unexpected gain! Ni Hongxiao managed to dig out Wu Feng from the giant snake’s stomach. “His digestive ability is average, but his abdominal defense is extremely strong!” Ni Hongxiao recorded it in her notebook. When Wu Feng came out, his first reaction was to pant heavily!
He really thought he was going to die! Su Wen then placed the Demon Martial Bead on the giant snake’s body. Seeing that the black aura had become denser again, Su Wen couldn’t help but look forward to it. He looked at Wu Feng and asked, “How do you know what sort of technique is inside?”
Wu Feng said, “No one knows. We can only roughly judge the grade based on the richness of the Saint Qi inside. Your current technique should be at the Earth Rank. It’s already very good, do you want to use it?” “How many people do I need to kill in order to get a Heaven Rank technique?” Su Wen asked curiously.
Wu Feng shook his head and said, “I don’t know. It should require a lot of people. According to the current density of Saint Qi, this cultivation technique of yours has just entered the Earth Rank. If you want to reach the Heaven Rank, who knows how much more Saint Qi you will need? Earth Rank techniques are already very good, very few people can obtain the Heaven Rank techniques through the Demon Martial Bead.” Su Wen sneered. Did he even need an Earth Rank technique at this moment? Under Wu Feng’s guidance, the three of them left the oasis. Around the area, they saw a large number of creatures that had been poisoned to death. There was no longer a need to stay here. After experiencing the initial hesitation and the subsequent slaughter, Su Wen had completely changed his mind.
In the wilderness, several Great Zhou martial artists had already gathered around the Third Prince! Both the Third Prince’s identity and capabilities gave him a great influence. Forming an alliance was naturally not something that only Ni Hongxiao could think of.
After all, the situation here was destined to be chaotic.
It was just that at this moment, they were confronting several of the martial artists from the Yan Country! Both sides were old enemies. “Haha! Third Prince of the Great Zhou! I’ve long heard of your reputation!” A man in a long robe laughed. “You’re the only prince of the Great Zhou Royal Family who has decent martial arts skills. Unfortunately, you’ll die here today.” The Third Prince’s expression was cold. He had broken through to 1st Grade Earth Rank the moment he entered. However, the person opposite him was also at the same grade! As for the other martial artists, they were all similarly matched. “This will be a deathmatch!” The Third Prince judged by the scene! “Guo Qingzhi, think carefully. You are not part of the royal family of Yan Country, but only a disciple of the Azure Dragon School. What benefits do you have if you fight with me? In this Mystic Realm, improving yourself is the best thing to do. I have an extra Demon Martial Bead here that I can give you! You and I will mind our own business, how about that?” For something like the Demon Martial Bead, one per person was enough. The Third Prince did not want to fight! In his opinion, the benefits and risks of killing the natives in the oases were much higher than fighting with this guy. Guo Qingzhi sneered and said, “Your Great Zhou Royal Family ambushing our Azure Dragon School back then already formed a feud between generations. Moreover, what use is the empty Demon Martial Bead you gave me? If I kill you, I can take your Demon Martial Bead! This is the only truth that matters!”
Seeing that he had no intention of ending this amicably, the Third Prince clenched his teeth and said, “Fine, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
He was not a coward. He just did not want to take the risk! Both sides immediately engaged in battle! Su Wen and Ni Hongxiao were hiding behind a small hill not too far away and could see everything clearly. From this, it could be seen that these people were not only skilled in battle techniques, their True Qi quality was exceptional. Compared to the natives, their fighting prowess was on a completely different level. On the other hand, Wu Feng’s mouth was wide open in shock. “Are all the martial skills of people from the Immortal Realm of this high grade?” Looking around, there were no martial skills below Earth Rank being used! This was especially true for the Third Prince and Guo Qingzhi. The two of them even exchanged blows with Heaven Ranked martial techniques! Ni Hongxiao yawned at this scene. “How boring!” She was still only interested in things that could be experimented on. She was not interested in killing humans at all. “What should we do, are we just going to watch?” Ni Hongxiao turned to Su Wen and asked.
“Of course not! We have to help!” “Now?” Su Wen shook his head. “There’s no hurry. Let’s wait for the opportunity to reap some lives!”
“Alright!” The battle on the battlefield gradually reached its climax.
The Third Prince gathered his strength. He had to admit that his opponent was actually pretty strong
However, he managed to forcefully suppress Guo Qingzhi and beat him up! The more they fought, the more excited the Third Prince became.
Soon, wounds started appearing on Guo Qingzhi’s body. He regretted it! If he had known earlier, he would have agreed to this guy’s suggestion.
Sometimes, it was like this. When one showed weakness, the other party would think that he was good enough. In the end, when they really fought, only then did the other party realize that they actually could not win against them! Although he could not defeat the Third Prince, the Great Zhou martial artists were not his subordinates’ match.
Pa!
A martial artist was sent flying, vomiting blood. He was about to die.
Guo Qingzhi was overjoyed. One had to know that in this kind of evenly matched small-scale chaotic battle, once someone was unable to hold on, it would signal the beginning of their defeat. After defeating one person, they could work together with their teammates to defeat the second person.
In the end, it would become a battle of numbers. Even if he was no match for the Third Prince, as long as he could hold out until the others came to support him, victory would still be theirs.
The Third Prince cursed in his heart!
How could he not know the importance of defeating his opponent first? Anxious, he sped up his movements in an attempt to defeat Guo Qingzhi as soon as possible. As long as he could defeat Guo Qingzhi, he would definitely win this battle! However, even though Guo Qingzhi was at a disadvantage, he would not be defeated in an instant.
His palms flew up and blocked the Third Prince’s attack! Right at this critical moment, Su Wen appeared with a long saber in his hand as he roared, “Brother, don’t panic! I’ll help you!”
His movement technique was extremely fast, shooting forward and forcefully blocking the path in front of that Yan Country martial artist!
He had saved the lives of the Great Zhou people!
The Third Prince was shocked! Why was this kid here?
However, he couldn’t care less. After all, there was a powerful enemy in front of him, and he couldn’t afford to be distracted!
Furthermore, Su Wen’s arrival had indeed helped him relieve some pressure. He could deal with this fellow without any worries!
