Chapter 39: Blood Sea, Corpse Mountain!

"You truly have no sense of vigilance!"

Just as these Eradicator Masters were on the brink of despair…

A cold, stern voice slowly rose from behind the group of Eradicator Masters!

Before anyone could react, in the blink of an eye, a not‑very‑long short sword had already pierced the throats of those Eradicator Masters…

"Since the Eradicator Masters have left the mortal world and appeared in the Corpse Soul Realm where they should not be, what awaits them is not only despair, but endless torment."

That was what Third Squad Captain Yan Yuanjinle intended, so he acted accordingly. Yan Yuanjinle, blade in hand, silently appeared behind the Eradicator Masters and, with a wave, slit the throats of several of them.

After cutting their throats, Yan Yuanjinle did not retreat; instead he chose to watch the deaths up close. He observed the Eradicator Masters whose major arteries in the neck had been pierced by his "lethal" short sword, their blood gushing as they slipped into death, and calmly adjusted the glasses on his nose, feeling a sudden surge of pleasure.

"How delightful~"

Yan Yuanjinle's methods could be called extremely cruel.

"You scoundrel, what are you doing?!"

Yan Yuanjinle's brutal act naturally drew the attention of the surrounding Eradicator Masters! In an instant, several of them roared, drew the blades at their waists, and moved to surround Yan Yuanjinle.

"Where are you looking?!"

Yet those Eradicator Masters who had noticed Yan Yuanjinle's cruelty had not yet advanced; accompanied by a series of rumblings, a hoarse voice suddenly echoed in everyone's ears, and a massive shadow bearing endless pressure suddenly enveloped all the Eradicator Masters intending to surround Yan Yuanjinle.

"Goo‑dong~"

The Eradicator Masters felt the immense pressure emanating from the man behind them, who resembled a brown bear, and their expressions changed.

"Crush! Crush them all!"

Before the Eradicator Masters could act, the figure standing behind them had already spread his arms wide and, with his massive, powerful limbs, slammed down onto their heads.

"Pa~"

With a muffled thud, three Eradicator Masters within the man's reach were instantly killed!

The method was excessively cruel; their heads were crushed by the man's strong palm.

"It's Shan Dingsi Youpin!"

Yan Yuanjinle nodded at the newcomer.

"I was planning to go to the South Gate (Zhu Wo), but Huangmu Jianba beat me to it!"

That man, as sturdy as a brown bear, who liked to crush others' heads with his hands and had a red U‑shaped graffiti on his face, was Guardian Court Twelve Squad Captain Shan Dingsi Youpin.

"What a coincidence, I set my sights on the West Gate (Bai Dao), but Shan Ye went!"

Yan Yuanjinle, hearing this, nudged the glasses on his nose.

Yan Yuanjinle asked again, "What about the others?"

Shan Dingsi Youpin replied, "They went to the Heileng Gate; only we remain here."

"Is that so? Then it's time to clean up our battlefield!"

Yan Yuanjinle said, twirling the short sword in his hand, and vanished on the spot.

"Ha ha, fine!"

Shan Dingsi Youpin let out a burst of maniacal laughter, waving his massive hands, repeatedly 'flinging' and 'crushing' the Eradicator Masters' heads!

In an instant, the entire battlefield became a performance show for the squad leaders…

Zaitou Bulaobusi, Si Fengyuan Qianri, Lu Qu Bawunzai, Yan Yuanjinle, and Shan Dingsi Youpin—five squad captains in total—stood before the Qingliu Gate, in the Blood River, and began their respective 'dance steps'!

The power of these five founding Guardian Court Thirteenth Squad captains was chillingly formidable, utterly despair‑inducing…

It wasn't that their spiritual pressure surpassed later captains; rather, their techniques were executed without hesitation, without chatter, each move lethal!

It was not a battle but a one‑sided slaughter!

Whether pleading, crying, or surrendering, all were crushed!

The founding Guardian Court Thirteenth Squad accepted no surrender, only death! Moments later, under the five leaders, the East Gate of Jingling Ting (Qingliu Gate) fell silent.

As everyone ceased, the vast area before Qingliu Gate had already become unbearable to look at; ruins and flesh blended together, making it impossible to tell stone from meat.

"Advance toward the center…"

The Thirteenth Squad captains ignored the corpses beneath their feet, shouldering blood‑soaked swords, and marched toward the place where Grand Captain Shan Ben Yuanliuzhai Chongguo had gathered everyone.

At the same time, just as the battle was resolved, a message rang in everyone's hearts.

"Fifth Squad Captain Weihua Dan Erlang reported that their fight is also over! All invaders at the four gates have been dealt with completely; it's time to assemble toward Grand Captain Shan Ben's direction."

Yan Yuanjinle gently nudged the nearsighted lenses on his nose and addressed the crowd.

"Everyone! This time we cannot be slow again~"

Upon hearing this, Zaitou Bulaobusi stomped a dead Eradicator's corpse beneath her foot, gripped her Soul‑Cutting Blade toward the distance; her target was not these minnows and petty thugs but the heads of the Eradicator leaders! Zaitou Bulaobusi still hoped to make a name for herself through this war~

The limelight can't all be snatched by Grand Captain Shan Ben and Huangmu!!

As for failure? Neither Zaitou Bulaobusi nor any of the Guardian Court Thirteenth Squad captains ever imagined an opponent ahead of them!

Jingling Ting's Four Gates — Heileng.

"Alright, the message has been conveyed."

Fifth Squad Captain Weihua Dan Erlang wiped the ink stain from his left hand; he hadn't expected that Tian Ting Konglu would be so troublesome to use today.

Behind Weihua Dan Erlang stood Seventh Squad Captain Zhixing Naiwugang, Ninth Squad Captain Jiu Mian Jiyan Tie, Thirteenth Squad Captain Ni Gu Cai Cang, and Fourth Squad Captain Zhi Dao Zhiwu.

At this moment, the corpse mountain piled before Heileng Gate was no less massive than the one before Qingliu Gate…

"My Majesty will not spare you! I curse you, I curse you to meet no good death! You murderers! Damn villains! Despicable devils! Die! Die! Die…"

Upon that corpse mountain, a lone Eradicator Master survived, gasping feebly as he roared curses at the Guardian Court Thirteenth Squad leaders below.

If he could, the Eradicator Master would truly wish to draw a bow and perish together with those leaders below, but it was impossible!

Because his limbs had been violently twisted into knots, his chest pierced open and a tube inserted, he could only lie still, watching blood pour from his chest, awaiting the end of his life…

Thus he shouted curses, vowing to damn these murderers!

"Alas…"

"So annoying…"

Squad Leader Zhi Dao Zhiwu of the Fourth Squad, irritated by the voice in his ears, took a flash step onto Corpse Mountain, brandished his blade and slashed at the last "surviving" Extinction Master.

"I curse you—die, die…"

As blood spurted up, the Extinction Master's voice abruptly ceased.

"Captain Zhi Dao, you ruined my experiment~"

Seeing this, Ni Gu Cai Zang smiled slyly and spoke to Zhi Dao Zhiwu.

"So what do you plan to do?"

Zhi Dao Zhiwu heard that, and with his eyes filled with dark circles and fatigue, looked at the scheming old man Ni Gu Cai Zang.

"Hehe…"

Ni Gu Cai Zang heard that and his smile grew even brighter, while his pitch‑black eyes flickered with a sinister light.

For a moment, the atmosphere between Ni Gu Cai Zang and Zhi Dao Zhiwu seemed oddly strange.

"Alright, the Mountain Old Man is summoning us; if you hadn't messed around, we'd have arrived ages ago!"

Finally, Wei Hua Dan Er Lang broke the uneasy atmosphere; to prevent any mishap, he invoked the name of Shan Ben Yuanliuzhai.

"…"

As soon as Yuanliuzhai's name was spoken, all squad leaders fell silent.

"Huh…"

Seeing this, Wei Hua Dan Er Lang finally let out a sigh of relief.

Thus, the squad leaders of the Thirteenth Guard Corps, "lovingly" and "affectionately", marched toward Shan Ben Yuanliuzhai's direction…

Only a field of corpse mountains and a sea of blood remained!
