The rear of the Jialan army caught fire, and the morale of the army was thrown into chaos. The Red Dragon Army managed to block the fierce attack of the Jialan Army, but they still retreated to the second line of defense. The two armies engaged in close combat, and the magic cannons of the Jialan army were unable to unleash their full power. The situation was in a stalemate for a while, and in the end, both sides withdrew their troops near evening.
The wounded soldier camp regained its former vitality, and moans and screams could be heard without end. However, under the circumstances where I deliberately increased the strength of my hands, the brave warriors who risked their lives for the country shouted especially loudly despite their injuries and fatigue.
Outside the tent where I treated the wounded, Becks, Rubel, Lano, Hart, and Kanter were guarding the prisoners I brought back today. There were a total of twenty-eight people. Every time a tragic howl echoed in the night sky, their bodies would tremble violently. However, since their acupoints were pressed, they could not make any verbal or physical expressions. Therefore, they could only sweat, break out in cold sweat, and keep breaking out in cold sweat! In order to ensure that they would be energetic enough to cooperate with my performance tomorrow, I specially fed them pills to maintain their physical strength and spirit. I also instructed Becks and the others to give them some salt water every once in a while to prevent them from being affected by dehydration. I love them as much as I love the white mice I used to feed! Hehe!
I swiftly treated one seriously injured person after another. I was a little tired from staying focused for too long. He was unhappy, so he stopped after treating one of the wounded. He threw him to a few priests of the Temple of Life beside him, and they immediately used light healing magic on the wounded.
How tiring! Actually, there were still quite a number of injured people, but I was only here on a whim to do research and save the lives of those experimental subjects. But now! The experiment was almost done, so…sigh!……Looks like I'm not suitable for this kind of energy-consuming labor! Besides, I won't get anything out of it. Hmph…I can't be bothered to care! It doesn't matter who dies to me. It's more important to maintain my fresh and happy mood.
I've decided to quit! Do you really think I'm a professional military doctor? As for Lin, just let her cause trouble. Anyway, I don't intend to stay here anymore! Hehe, I suddenly felt proud of myself. The reason was that when I was restraining Lin's movements today, I had used mental magic to give her a mental hint. In the future, no matter what the situation was, Lin would never have thoughts or actions like suicide! Ha…Let's see what else she has to threaten me with! Hmm…No! In order to be safe, I should add a few more spiritual seals on her tomorrow…Perhaps, I should also use the [Heavenly Demon Soul-Catcher]. Good! It was decided!
Youmeng stood quietly behind me with a cup of water in her hand. When she saw that I had stopped, she handed the cup over. I took a sip and smiled."Alright, Youmeng, you're tired too. Go and rest!”
Ignoring the priests who were still waiting for me to do further work and the wounded who were still moaning and waiting for treatment, I leisurely walked out of the tent.
" Mhm…" Youmeng nodded slightly and followed me out of the tent, but she didn't have any intention of leaving immediately.
"What's the matter?" I said. I tried to maintain my original tone when I asked the question, not too soft.
"You…you're not resting!" Youmeng lowered her head as she spoke, so I couldn't see her expression clearly.
"Oh! I still have to go and see Sha Sa. She suffered quite a shock today. You can go back first." I said.
" Yeah…" After hearing what I said, Youmeng turned around and ran away.
Hehe…You Meng is quite concerned about me! However, it was really strange! Why was Youmeng so bashful? I thought to myself.
Sha Sa had already fallen asleep. Grandpa Ao Si was guarding by her bed. When he saw me, he quickly greeted me.
"Little Yu, you're here!"
"En! How is Sha Sa?" I asked.
" Much better. Luckily, you got there in time, or else…" Grandpa Auth didn't have the dignity of the Holy Emperor Auth. He also didn't have the usual demeanor of a hermit. He was more like a loving grandfather who doted on his granddaughter.
"Hmph, watch how I deal with these scumbags!”I said hatefully.
"Oh! You have to deal with them yourself! No wonder Princess Yue Ni asked you for her, but you didn't give it to her!”Grandpa Auth frowned.
"I want the world to know the consequences of bullying my sister!”I said coldly as the killing intent hidden in my heart surfaced. "If we give them to Yueni, she will only use them as bargaining chips to negotiate with Jia Lan. In the end, they will still return to Jia Lan freely.”
"En…that's for sure. These young nobles all have powerful family backgrounds, and they have a lot of influence on Jialan's politics and military. Moreover, nobles who were captured in war would never be killed. But this way, a war could be avoided, and it would be beneficial to the people!”Grandpa Auth expressed his thoughts.
So it was because of this. Today, when I came back and handed those scumbags over to Becks and the others to watch over, I heard them clamoring! He claimed that he was the grandson of the Duke of Ze Xi. He said that he was a noble and should enjoy the treatment of a noble. Some of them even wanted to see the highest-ranking officer…In the end, Rubel didn't even need me to remind him to use his fists to make them behave. After that, Princess Yue Ni, who came to inquire, suggested that I hand them over to her. I had also read quite a few books and had some understanding of the privileges of the nobles in this world. If I hand it over to her, then what am I supposed to do? Sha Sa's grievance was for nothing? She rejected him immediately. Then, Princess Yue Ni left with a group of people with a dejected expression. He still remembered that when Xin Xisi, that servant of the royal family, wanted to use force, he was stopped by Yue Ni. The way that guy looked at me when he left almost ate me up! Damn it, if it wasn't for me not wanting to delay the official business and not bickering with you, and also giving Yue Ni some face, would you still be alive?!
"So what? What country or people has nothing to do with me! I don't care about other people's lives. And could they guarantee that there would not be a war in the future? That's impossible. War is an indispensable part of human history. I don't have to stop it.”I said indifferently. Talking about the country, the people, and the righteousness of the nation annoyed me! Do you think I'm a child that's easy to fool?
"However, if you reject Princess Yue Ni so decisively, it would be…She represents a country after all!”Grandpa Auth said worriedly. At the same time, he wanted to convince me to hand those scumbags over to Princess Yue Ni and the others.
Of course, I understand what he means. He's afraid that I'll have a feud with the Asgard royal family. After all, it was unimaginable for a person to be treated as an enemy by a country. No matter how powerful you are, you will definitely die!
But I don't think so. I know that these two people are enemies of the country, no, the entire human race. Needless to say, it's my two perverted masters! On Earth, the top secret files of the United Nations said,""Any country or individual has the obligation to kill these two people who seriously threaten the survival of mankind!”In fact, this is a preparatory proposal of the United Nations. It will be announced as soon as my two masters are discovered on Earth and any colonized planets. However, it was obvious that they did not get this opportunity, and they would not get it in the future! The two elders were probably in the immortal world (immortal cultivators and demonic cultivators both went to the same place for their final ascension), enjoying themselves and having fun! The people of the immortal world were probably not having a good time either!
In the cultivation world, my two masters are forbidden existences. Everyone is trying to deal with them. In the end, it only gave them a legitimate reason to extort those cultivation sects! Therefore, after thousands of years of hard work by my master, the cultivation world was already in ruins. How was he now? If I have the chance to go back, I must go and take a look.
I inherited all the merits of my two masters. How could I stop my progress for a small country? So, I said indifferently,"Humph…so what!" If they provoke me, I'll destroy them all!”
Grandpa Auth thought for a while and sighed helplessly. It seemed like he still couldn't let go. Even though he wasn't the [Holy Emperor] anymore, his heart was still filled with the idea of being the [Holy Emperor]. For the sake of the people and the country! Narrow-minded nationalistic ideology and womanly benevolence! In the history of human development, there was only one rule, regardless of whether it was a country or an individual-survival of the fittest! The weak could only be bullied!
There was no other way. Grandpa Auth's heart was always in the frame of the world. If he wanted to get rid of it, he could only rely on himself. So even though I have plans to let him cultivate as well, it seems like it's still very far away. In the future, it's better not to involve him in my own matters.
Grandpa Auth saw that he couldn't persuade me and knew that I wouldn't easily change my decision, so he didn't say anything.
"Right, is Sha Sa really your granddaughter?”I changed the topic and voiced my long-standing question.
"... Sigh..." Grandpa Auth sighed, as if he had something to hide. Thinking about it, there should be a story behind Sha Sa's birth!
"Forget it, even if I didn't ask." I said. I wasn't a gossipy person or a paparazzo who specialized in collecting gossip. Since Grandpa Auth wasn't willing to tell me, I wouldn't ask. Seeing that Sha Sa was sleeping soundly, he said,"Alright. I'm going back!" He lifted his feet and left.
Grandpa Auth's eyes were hazy as he fell into a distant memory...
Jialan Army Camp
"Heavens! My old friend, how did you become like this?!”Finally found Pan. Hadby's Sogami exclaimed. And our old magician Pan. Hadby was staring blankly at the pile of black ashes in his hand. He didn't notice that his magic robe was burnt, his face was disfigured, and his beard was messy. The muscles on his face were bulging, and his expression was very strange.
The commander of the Jialan Army, Garossa, was also in a panic. All of the noble children had disappeared, not even their corpses could be found. He really couldn't understand how his camp could be completely destroyed like this. This was a serious problem. If any of the noble young masters were to be harmed, especially the grandson of the Duke of Ze Xi…even His Majesty the Emperor would not be able to protect him! Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat. The generals at the side saw the commander's reaction and knew that the situation was serious. If something happened to those young masters, then their lives…they did not dare to think about it. The more they thought about it, the more anxious they became. However, all they could do now was wait! He waited for the messenger to return from the Red Dragon Army.
At this moment, an officer ran over.
"Quick…tell me! Have you found her?" Garossa asked, his breathing rapid. The other generals also stared at the officer, making him tremble.
"Sir…Sir, he is with the Red Dragon Army.”the officer said.
All the generals heaved a sigh of relief. According to international practice, those noble young masters would be fine.
"Tell me what they want!" Garossa heaved a sigh of relief and immediately began to consider the situation.
"Sir, they didn't say anything."
"What? You didn't say?" Garossa felt uneasy again. Was the Red Dragon Army up to something? Then he asked the officer,"Tell me, what did they say at that time?!"”
" They said... they said..." The officer stuttered.
"Hurry up and say it! Otherwise, I'll chop you up!" Garossa had a bad temper.
" They said that she is in the Red Dragon Army camp, but she is not in their hands…" the officer said in a trembling voice, sweating. Obviously, he did not understand what he meant.
"It's in the Red Dragon Army's camp but not in their hands? Did they really say that?" Seeing the officer nod, Garossa didn't understand, and neither did the others. Garossa shifted his gaze to Pan, the only person who might know. Hadby had finally recovered from Sogami's shaking, but he was very listless.
" Sigh…" Pan. Hadby exhaled to calm himself down before he slowly said,""Looks like they were captured by him.”
"Who is it?" Everyone asked at the same time.
Pan. Hadby immediately fell into a state of extreme excitement. He gritted his teeth and said,""It's the young man who injured me when he kidnapped the third princess of Yasre last time!”
"It's him! Old friend, you fought with him again?" Sogamini was right. The person Hadby hated so much was very interested.
"Then do you think those noble young masters will be fine?”Garossa and a group of worried generals were more concerned about the life and death of those noble young masters. In the end, it was their own life and death.
" I think…" Pan. Hadby said as he pondered. Everyone's hearts were in their throats. "I think they're hopeless!" Thinking of the intense killing intent that the young man had emitted at that time, Pan. Hadby suspected that if he hadn't been blinded by anger, he wouldn't have dared to provoke that person.
Garossa and the others felt their hearts sink, and some of them even fell to the ground.
"Teacher, are you sure?" Garossa was the commander after all, and he did not give up on his last hope.
"Yes…I'm sure. However, since he had taken them away, he probably wouldn't do anything to them immediately.”Pan. Hadby analyzed.
"Good! Everyone, get ready to attack with all your might!" Garossa seized the last glimmer of hope and used his authority as commander to mobilize his troops. The generals also seemed to see that their little ancestors, whose lives depended on them, were still safe in the Red Dragon Army camp, so they began to prepare for war.
Everyone had left, leaving only Pan. Hadby and Sogami stood rooted to the spot.
"Old friend, are you alright?" Sogami asked with concern.
" Mm…" Pan. Hadby nodded. When he lowered his head, he saw the ashes in his hand again. "My magic book! Kid…I'm not done with you!" The old mage's voice, which sounded as if it had been sawed by a saw, traveled far away.
In the middle of the night, more than 20 people came not far from Xue Yu's tent. The darkness of the night hid their true faces. They moved slowly and gently until they were not far from their target. They were hidden behind a bush. One person, who seemed to be the leader, pushed aside the bushes and used the light of the dying bonfire to investigate the situation ahead.
There were thirty-three people outside the tent, and twenty-eight of them were trapped in a light green barrier. It seemed that they were all asleep. Outside the barrier, there were five youths guarding in five directions. The five youths sat cross-legged with their heads lowered in front of their chests, breathing evenly.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual, the leader waved his hand to signal for them to start moving. They held their breaths and stepped forward. The fire illuminated them, and they were all wearing the military uniform of the Yasre Royal Guards. The leader was Cynthia. He went to Xue Yu's tent while his men surrounded the five teenagers in groups.
After Cynthia entered the tent, there was a slight sound of a sword being swung, and then there was no more sound. The people surrounding the five youths gripped their swords and stabbed forward. The swords pierced into the youths 'bodies, and a few drops of colorful blood fell to the ground. Just as they thought that they had completed their mission, a smile appeared on their faces. Their targets, the five youths, had all disappeared on the spot. Just as he was about to search, he realized that he could not move no matter what. The five youths were standing in front of them with smiles on their faces. The tips of their swords were dripping with blood. Suddenly, they felt a sharp pain. Lowering their heads to look at the pain, they found that there was a hole in their chests. Blood was gushing out, dyeing the ground red. He only had time to let out half an urgent cry before everything returned to eternal darkness…
He carried the defenseless Cynthia out of the tent and looked at the 20 or so corpses. It wasn't that he was angry. To be precise, he hated her! It wasn't the first time I didn't want to pay attention to this fly, but he kept bothering me. Cynthia, you arrogant, vengeful, self-righteous, and dreamy fly. How should I deal with you? Yo…you're quite unreasonable! You still dare to glare at me! Good! Good! Very good! Haha...
After removing his mute acupoint, Cynthia's body landed in front of Becks, Rubel, Lano, Hart, and Kanter under my smiling gaze. He touched the ground intimately.
"Treat him well! Just leave a breath." I said,"Oh, Rubel, practice your acupuncture on him!"”
"Yes, sir!" The five kids said excitedly. Sigh…Why are they so sadistic now?
"I am a member of the Imperial Guards. What do you dare to do to me? "You won't…" Cynthia, whose hands and feet were pressed down, said arrogantly. However, Becks and the others were not in the mood to listen to his speech. They did not care about his identity and rushed forward.
Rubel excitedly took out a 30-centimeter needle and inserted it into Cynthia without thinking…
Oh…this was the pain point! Not bad, Rubel had finally learned how to accurately find the pain point.
" You guys... Ah... Ahhh!..." Cynthia let out a crazy roar, but he couldn't move even after Bex had struck his acupoints. Hmm…Becks 'acupoints were not bad.
The cry of pain was so loud that it woke up the people in the barrier. They looked on in horror, not daring to make a sound. They must have thought that they would also face such torture! They were crying and screaming in the barrier. How annoying! It's those who are the grandsons of dukes and earls again…Casually casting a tenfold gravity spell on the barrier, only the sound of panting could be heard…Hehe, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not even having the courage to commit suicide. Tomorrow, you will definitely taste the world's unique criminal law feast! Hahaha…
Cynthia couldn't bear the pain and fainted. A mixture of ice and water poured down. Heh heh, Lano's water magic had improved too!
Eh…What were Hart and Kanter fighting about? Both of them were holding a round pill the size of a finger. Oh... it's the medicinal pills that the two of them collected from me and failed to refine! That's not a good thing! Although it wouldn't kill anyone, it would have very strong side effects! The two brothers were debating which pill to use, and in the end, both sides compromised…In the end, both pills were sent into Cynthia's mouth.
There was such a scientific common sense that many problems were often that one plus one did not equal two. It was like the power of two atomic bombs exploding separately and the effect of two identical atomic bombs exploding together was very different. And this common sense was once again verified by Cynthia. Look, Cynthia's eyes were two centimeters out of his eye sockets…It must be terrible!
Just as I was enjoying the rare night performance, someone came to disturb my mood.
"Stop!" The person who came was full of energy and his voice was loud and clear. It was a swordsman in yellow, and he seemed to have seen him somewhere before. There was a group of people behind him. Lin, Yueni, Lagersis, Red, Danfei, Radiant Envoy, Saintess of Life, and two high priests were among them. The Holy Maiden of the Light can't come. She used [Will of the Gods] on me that day and needed to rest for at least four or five days. The one with the red beard should be Red and Danfei's father, Rei. They were probably red dragons. Their entire family cultivated Flame Battle Energy, which was why their fur was red.
"Xue Yu, what are you doing!" Lin angrily condemned me, and when she saw the bodies on the ground, she glared at me even more.
What was he doing? Didn't you see? I knew you were an idiot. Ignoring Lin's fiery gaze, I leisurely said,"Nothing! Looking at the night view, he was just casually swatting flies!”
At this moment, Becks and the others were still seriously completing the mission I gave them. When the yellow-robed swordsman saw Cynthia in this state, he wanted to rush up and save Cynthia, but he was blocked by the barrier that I had secretly set up. He couldn't break through for the time being. Suddenly, silver fighting spirit emerged from his body and he was about to break through. Damn it, how dare you ruin my business! He formed a hand seal, and the Four Magnificent Lotus Throne turned into a colorful light and flew toward him. After all, he was a Saint level expert with Saint Qi and had some ability to immediately discover my actions. However, I didn't want to attack him in the first place. The [Four Magnificent Lotus Seats] turned into a colorful light shield that covered him. No matter how strong his fighting energy was, he couldn't escape. On the contrary, the [Four Magnificent Lotus Seats] absorbed the energy of the warrior power and emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the surroundings. At the same time, it gave him more pressure and made him unable to care about anything else.
"Young Master Xue Yu, why are you treating Xin Xisi like this? You even killed my guards! I hope you can give me an explanation!" Yue Ni displayed the dignified temperament of a member of the royal family and calmly questioned me.
"Oh? That's right! I was also curious. Why did they come to my camp in the middle of the night?”I asked.
Yue Ni's expression changed slightly, and she thought, Oh no! Could it be that Cynthia and the others came here to kidnap those Jialan captives?”Thinking of Xue Yu's tough attitude on the issue of how to deal with the captives today, an inexplicable anger surged in his heart. I'm a princess of a country, and you don't show me any mercy! However, he thought that it was his own fault. Moreover, he could not offend Xue Yu now. Moreover, he had always hoped that he could serve his country. After hesitating for a while, Princess Yue Ni said,""I think this must be a misunderstanding.”Yue Ni wanted to minimize the problem and save Xin Xisi at the same time.
"Oh! Misunderstanding!" "If you woke up in the middle of the night and found that someone was going to cut off your head, would you still think so?"”
Everyone present was shocked. Princess Yue Ni cried out in her heart. Xin Xisi actually went to kill Xue Yu…It's over!
"Even if he wanted to kill you, you shouldn't treat him like this! Aren't you…fine now?”Lin said, looking at Cynthia with pity.
"Humph…!" I really don't know what she's thinking. I can't stand her anymore! I sucked Cynthia into my right hand and pulled his hair. With a gloomy expression, I said,"Does that mean I have to wait until I'm killed by him before I can deal with him? Do you want me to die?"
" I…You…" Lin stammered for a long time, speechless.
Talking to such a simple-minded woman was tiring and boring! Therefore, it was necessary to stay away from her as soon as possible. In order to complete Se's request, I had already done my best to Lin!
"Hmph…I'll let you know the consequences of plotting against my people!”I said calmly. He slowly raised his right hand, and Cynthia's body followed suit. At the same time, a surge of vital essence entered Cynthia's body. After the vital essence spread throughout Cynthia's body, it began to vibrate at a high speed. This was a very cruel punishment. Although it didn't seem like much on the surface, I was actually stripping Cynthia's soul. Everyone had a soul, but not everyone could continue to exist after death. There were two main situations in which the soul continued to exist after death. One was that the soul of a powerful person could exist for a long time. For example, after a cultivator passed the Nascent Soul stage, if there was no external interference, the soul would be almost indestructible. The other situation was that the person suffered great pain before death, and the energy of the source of life was stimulated, allowing the soul to remain.
A sharp roar that was filled with the aura of death pierced through everyone's brains. Synthes 'limbs broke free from the blockade of his acupuncture points, and his veins bulged. He clawed around wildly, but he couldn't break free from my palm's control…Synthes' movements gradually slowed down.
"Xue Yu, let him go! "Otherwise, I…" Lin was in tears as she stood in my line of sight with a dagger in her hand.
This move again! Really, it seemed that Lin was really hopelessly stupid. I didn't pay any attention to her and smiled at her in a show of force. Go ahead! I'll continue to do my thing…
Lin really wanted to commit suicide. Seeing that Xue Yu did not care about her death at all, her heart ached! She immediately pushed the dagger in her hand, but she found that her body was suddenly out of her control. No matter what, she could not move at all. Seeing Xue Yu's smug smile, Lin knew that the demon had done something to her. Lin could only watch Cynthia struggle frantically. She could not bear to watch anymore, but she could not close her eyes. Looking at Xue Yu, Lin silently shed tears. Demon! Demons! Is this the real you?
Cynthia's face flushed red as if he was drunk. Then, he rolled his eyes and the red flush disappeared. What replaced it was a dull gray color, and his roar came to an abrupt halt…
Like throwing a piece of mud, I threw Xin Xisi's stinky skin back to Princess Yue Ni. Becks and the others also kicked away the corpses of the Royal Guards who had ambushed them.
Yue Ni and the people behind her were so shocked that they lost their minds. As if I had done something dirty, I ordered Becks and the others to get me some water and washed my hands impatiently. I tidied my clothes.
"Please leave quickly. I'm going to sleep! I don't want anything unpleasant to happen tonight!”His words were polite, but they contained a hint of threat.
At the same time, I put away the [Four Magnificent Lotus Throne]. The yellow-robed swordsman was exhausted after fighting the [Four Magnificent Lotus Throne] for a long time. He only had the strength to breathe. I originally thought that he was a Martial Saint expert and should have some outstanding points. Now it seems that I don't want to guard the door for me! He even acted like a senior expert…Boring! After entering the tent, Becks and the others returned to their original positions and snored as if no one was around.
Princess, let's go back!" Still strong. Red Dragon was tactful. He asked someone to help the Saint level expert, Yueni's uncle, the Saint Swordsman, Essok, up. Then, he suggested to Princess Yue Ni.
"Go back…!" Princess Yue Ni said weakly. She looked at the corpses of Xin Xisi and the others. "Bury them well!" Red Dragon said.”
"Yes, sir!" Strong. Red Dragon immediately went to arrange for people.
Lin's face was full of sorrow, and she was stiff and unable to move. She was carried back to the camp by Hong.
After walking for some distance, Yue Ni turned around and looked at the campfire in Xue Yu's camp with a complicated expression. She herself did not understand why Xue Yu did not give her any face, but every time she saw his expression of not putting everything in his eyes, she could not help but be moved.
As soon as they returned to the camp, the war drums sounded. The Jialan army actually launched an attack at this time. Red Dragon led the Red Dragon Army and the reinforcements brought by Lagersis to fight in a hurry.
There was a thumb-sized ball of blue light floating above his left hand. This was the soul of the fly, Cynthia. A fly isn't trash, but it still has some uses. Its use is…I look at my right hand, which is holding a bronze compass-like magic tool. It had four legs that looked like a ferocious beast with its bloody mouth wide open, and the surface of the plate had a few scales like a clock. Its center protruded, and it was a coiled python. The python had a crown-shaped horn on its head, and its green eyes were closed.
It wasn't easy for me to find this from the Earth Kun Bracelet. I don't know how many years it has been since I last used it. In the past, I only read stories about it in some ancient books. Now, it belongs to me, and I want to use it. However, the first problem was to refine it again!
I activated the True Samadhi Fire and bit my finger to drip a drop of blood on it. Hehe…he really has a personality! That python still didn't move. It actually ignored me! Good! Good! I'll give you something good! I pushed Cynthia's soul above the python. The snake's eyes suddenly opened and shot out an evil red light. Cynthia's soul was swallowed by it and returned to its original state.
As expected of an evil tool among demonic tools! As expected, it matched its name-[Soul Eater]!
Actually, it had many other names. Each of them represented one of its characteristics and one of its functions. When used as a torture tool, it was called the Soul Refining Platform!
Rumbling war drums sounded in my ears. Tonight was really eventful.
