Chapter 113: "Dammit..."_4
Overpowering them was normal.
But to overpower... this many?
He had once considered himself a Heavenly Pride, and the world said the same, but after seeing this scene, he felt that there should be a rank above Heavenly Pride, that is, Destructive Genius.
This was outrageous.
"But this is good as well..." the scholar suddenly smiled with a face full of emotion. After all, he and Brother Qiu were not on opposing sides. Although it felt like a bit of a blow, the stronger Brother Qiu got, the higher both his power and status would surely rise.
He didn't even need to ask for anything.
Once Brother Qiu attains the Nascent Soul, wouldn't the things that casually slipped through his fingers be things he had never even dreamed of having before?
Like this Sword Bone that allowed him to stand like a normal person again.
Fat Long glanced at the scholar and instantly understood why he smiled. He couldn't help but smile as well; who could have thought that the most correct decision in his life was uttering those four words in Fufeng City.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay."
Sheesh, what was he thinking at that time, to have found himself such a solid backing amidst the crowd.
...
"?"
Standing still and unable to move, the Fat City Lord, who had just survived a disaster, was now looking towards the god-like, world-slaughtering Chen Qiu and the sky full of Thunder Dragons, muttering in astonishment.
"Who exactly is invading whom..."
This didn't look like the Evil Clan's invasion at all, it seemed more like Chen Qiu was the invader.
Uninformed bystanders who came by would surely think that the Evil Clan was the victim, and Chen Qiu a world-destroying demon; he was merely at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, yet how could his methods be so exaggerated.
The power of each Thunder Dragon far exceeded the power that a ninth-level Foundation Establishment Cultivator could release using the Thunder Summoning Technique.
And it wasn't just one...
It was thousands with a single wave of his hand, and the Spiritual Energy inside him seemed endless as the sky full of Thunder Dragons slammed incessantly from the sky towards the ground.
"Thunder Summoning Technique."
An extremely ordinary spell, yet in Chen Qiu's hands, it transformed into Destructive Thunder Dragons.
"Did Lord National Master foresee even this?"
The Fat City Lord gazed at Chen Qiu, who was surrounded by tens of thousands of Thunder Dragons in the distance, thoughtfully saying.
Thirty years ago.
Lord National Master foresaw a disaster at the Boundless Icefield and specifically commanded him to guard Fei City. Being a seventh-level Golden Core cultivator, he was considered among the highest in combat power in Da Xia. After the invasion of the Evil Clan, he rushed to the Boundless Icefield, only to be shocked when he found the enemy was nine Evil Clan Warriors at the Golden Core Peak.
Before he could even speak, he was slapped into the ground.
He thought then whether the National Master had not foreseen this, but soon after, the Heavenly Dao Decree sounded, forbidding Golden Core practitioners from intervening, and then Chen Qiu took action and began the slaughter.
He had thought that the National Master sent him because he valued his cultivation, but it turned out he valued his character.
If a narrow-minded City Lord had been assigned to guard instead, could it be that today he would have already attacked Chen Qiu, leading to no one being able to intervene during the Evil Clan's invasion, consequently resulting in countless lives in Fei State being lost?
Had the National Master calculated even this far? This many layers?
Indeed he is the National Master!
...
The Endless Desert, Boundless Snow Mountain, and Boundless Sea were similarly facing invasions by the Evil Clan.
But for some reason.
Perhaps receiving some news, the Evil Clan at these three locations disappeared without a trace in just half an hour, and the Foundation Establishment Cultivators sent there saw only scattered Meteorite Fragments on the ground and no trace of any Evil Clan.
...
At this moment, somewhere in an Earth Cave.
A Nascent Soul, its body radiating an aura of terrifying Cultivation, looked excitedly at the Evil Wood in its hand, stained with fresh blood. Due to overwhelming emotions, the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy in its body began to uncontrollably surge violently.
The Earth Cave was a reddish-brown color, vast at a glance.
At this moment, in the center of the Earth Cave, there were four huge light circles slowly rotating, three of which had already begun to shrink.
Only one light circle was still rotating, and a large number of Evil Clan warriors stood nearby. They seemed to carelessly toss a large number of Spirit Stones into the light circle to maintain its normal operation.
"Roar!!!"
At this time—
The Nascent Soul, turning its head to look at the Evil Clan Warriors who had just exited the other three light circles, excitedly pointed at the remaining spinning circle below, raising the Evil Wood high in its hand and roared.
"Roar, roar, roar!!!"
The Evil Clan Warriors just below, upon hearing this, also immediately had their pupils dilate and veins on their necks bulge, and the eight eyes on their chests blinked continuously before they collectively charged towards the remaining light circle.
Tens of thousands of Evil Clan Warriors, one after another, leapt into the light circle and then disappeared within the Earth Cave.
...
Meanwhile, on the Boundless Icefield.
Chen Qiu had already slaughtered all the Evil Clan Warriors at the forefront and was now positioned in the deeper parts of the Boundless Icefield above a hundred-zhang light circle, continuously bombarding the circle below with spells. Countless Thunder Dragons and numerous green Demon Fires, although unable to penetrate the white light circle,
had just emerged from below the white light circle, not even having a chance to clear their surroundings, before turning into minced meat and disappearing into the light circle again.
Not even bodies remained.
"Pretty good."
Fat Long, floating in mid-air overlooking the white light circle, remarked with a sigh, "Brother Qiu is directly blocking the spawn point to kill, not sure how the situation is at the other three locations." Experience more on empire
A large number of Evil Clan kept emerging from the white light circle, only to be greeted by countless Thunder Dragons as soon as they surfaced.
The hundred-zhang light circle, large and yet not so large,
but just perfectly within Chen Qiu's range of attack.
"They might have retreated."
The scholar glanced at the "Heavenly Dao Evil Killing Ranking" and frowned, "The kill count for many on the leaderboard has not changed for a long time, only two scenarios could cause this."
"One is that they are dead, and naturally, if they are dead, the kill count won't change."
"But it's not possible that so many are dead, and even if so many were dead, surely new ones would take their place. Moreover, according to the past rules of the Heavenly Dao leaderboard, those who die are automatically removed from the list."
"The only other possibility is that the Evil Clan at the other three invasion sites have all retreated, and undoubtedly, they have all come to the southern Boundless Icefield. Haven't you noticed that every moment inside the white light circle, a large number of Evil Clan emerge, obviously much more than before."
"This invasion of the Evil Clan..."
"It's very likely purely targeted at the Evil Wood."
"After they discovered the Evil Wood on the Boundless Icefield, they withdrew from the other three locations, concentrating all their forces on the Boundless Icefield, preparing to plunder more Evil Wood."
"Just unfortunately..."
The scholar looked up at Chen Qiu, surrounded by tens of thousands of Thunder Dragons in the center above the hundred-zhang light circle, and murmured, "Brother Qiu just happens to be on the Boundless Icefield."
Indeed, every moment, a large number of Evil Clan emerged from the hundred-zhang light circle.
However, no one could step out of the hundred-zhang light circle.
They all turned into minced meat and disappeared back into the light circle as soon as they appeared.
What could now be confirmed was—
This hundred-zhang light circle, part of a large Teleportation Array, linked the Boundless Icefield with another place unknown to them, but they tried throwing objects like stones into it, finding it utterly ineffective.
They conducted many experiments.
Resentful spirits cannot enter.
Neither humans nor demon beasts could enter, only the Evil Clan and the items they carried, such as weapons and Storage Rings, could pass through.
