Chapter 138: Killing Intent Totem Evolves, Twin Blood Dragons Soar

On the battlefield, Shen Qing carved out a no-man's-land with his lone blade, while the blood dragon phantom behind him incessantly devoured the battlefield's blood qi to strengthen itself, and his figure continually solidified.

Suddenly, a clear dragon roar rang out, and Shen Qing turned his head to look.

He saw a change behind him as another blood dragon burst forth; though this blood dragon still looked faint, its aura had indeed grown considerably.

With a thought, the Killing Intent Totem's coverage expanded again, extending by nearly a hundred zhang.

The pressure felt by all the Japanese pirates surged suddenly.

Shen Qing also realized in his heart that this should be the point after slaying twenty thousand people.

He still remembered the line of text on the red entry Killing Intent Totem: it can evolve infinitely.

It seems that ten thousand people is a node, allowing another blood dragon to be reborn while increasing its power and coverage.

Shen Qing's overbearing true qi surged, golden light flashing all over his body as he shouted loudly.

"Come! Come again!!!"

"Twenty thousand? That's still not the limit. Although some Japanese pirates had already retreated before the battle even began, there are still nearly twenty to thirty thousand Japanese pirates around here."

Now what Shen Qing must do is completely keep these Japanese pirates on this battlefield, letting them utterly become nourishment for the Killing Intent Totem.

These Japanese pirates had their courage shattered, no longer possessing the arrogance they once had when slaughtering the people of Great Martial.

A Japanese pirate Master Realm cultivator shouted loudly: "Don't panic! Run to the southwest and southeast!"

The southwest and southeast directions are exactly the two retreat routes of the Japanese pirates; Shen Qing blocked the south, so the other two sides must certainly have gaps.

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on that Master Realm Japanese pirate: "There's still a commander."

Golden light flared as Shen Qing swung his blade, carving a fan-shaped area in the direction of that Master Realm Japanese pirate; all Japanese pirates within were cut in half at the waist.

At that moment, the Supreme Commander Li Xian on the battlefield also reacted, shouting loudly: "Did you all hear that! Southeast direction! Southwest direction!"

"Bring ten generals! Follow me to the southwest! The rest go to the southeast! Not a single Japanese pirate may pass, even if it means death!"

As his words fell, more than twenty generals in the crowd automatically formed units by distance and swiftly charged toward the two directions, lining up in a row.

Now, the Japanese pirates truly have no way to heaven or earth.

More than twenty Grand Master Realm generals, together with Supreme Commander Li Xian, became the Japanese pirates' final desperate wall.

Shen Qing lowered his blade; just then, as that Master Realm commander directed, he suddenly realized there was still a big fish left uncaught in the Japanese pirates' camp.

The Japanese pirates' commander, Gongben Sansong.

Shen Qing swung his blade toward the center of the Japanese pirates' camp.

Outside the Japanese pirates' core camp, the battlefield here was fierce, with most of their remaining experts gathered in this place.

Several Great Martial Master Realm cultivators and fierce beasts here confronted the last few Japanese pirate Master Realm cultivators, blood flying everywhere.

Suddenly, several blades flashed, beheading the Japanese pirate Master Realm cultivators.

A Chief of a Thousand turned his head and glanced: "Commander Shen!"

Shen Qing nodded and headed toward the tent, but inside the tent there was no one left; even the documents had been torn to shreds by true qi.

The Chief of a Thousand immediately said: "Commander Shen, I just saw someone seemingly fly up from inside, moving very fast; I couldn't see clearly, but it should be a Primordial Core Realm cultivator."

"There's also a Primordial Core Realm?"

Shen Qing closed his eyes, sensed the lingering vital energy fluctuations in the air; they were still quite obvious, evidently they hadn't gone far.

The next moment, Shen Qing shot into the sky: "Bai Yun, Black Hawk, follow."

"Li Xian! I entrust the battlefield to your command; when I return, I want to see all the Japanese pirates dead!"

From the battlefield came Li Xian's loud shout.

"Li Xian guarantees to accomplish the mission!"

At the same time, in the distance, the Japanese pirates' Primordial Core Realm cultivator Houteng, accompanied by Gongben Sansong and the Vice General, raced all the way toward East Sea Commandery.

Gongben Sansong's vital energy was gravely wounded; now his eyes are tightly shut.

The Vice General gritted his teeth: "Great Martial really is lucky! Why has another limit-breaker appeared!"

Houteng also looked solemn: "This limit-breaker is stronger than any before, and his methods are even more ruthless!"

"We must bring the news back to the empire!"

Suddenly, a tearing sound came from behind; Houteng turned his head and saw a shadow already appearing behind him, his face darkening as he quickly set the two down on the ground and then gave a warning.

"Hurry! Be sure to bring Gongben Sansong back to East Sea Commandery; I'll hold them off."

Having said that, Houteng shot into the sky, rushing straight toward Shen Qing, while the Vice General hurriedly carried Gongben Sansong and dashed wildly toward East Sea Commandery.

Soon, Houteng arrived before Shen Qing, gripping a long blade in his hand, his eyes icy cold.

"You are Shen Qing, the limit-breaker, right?"

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes, looking toward the direction where the Vice General fled, his Crimson Sky sword trembling faintly.

Houteng also refused to yield, a sword intent shooting up into the sky.

"I advise you not to act rashly; I am not like Sitian, who underestimates the enemy."

"Moreover, I am stronger than Sitian! From birth I have displayed the sword bone, a natural-born swordsman."

Saying this, Houteng raised his blade, pointing it at Bai Yun, then at Shen Qing, and finally coming to rest on Black Hawk.

"If we clash head-on, I dare not say I could heavily wound you, Shen Qing, nor kill you, Bai Yun, but I could certainly inflict heavy damage on it."

Black Hawk wore a puzzled expression: "You're just picking on the soft persimmon, huh?"

Houteng continued: "If you are willing to let Gongben Sansong go, I will surrender willingly; my worth is absolutely not less than his."

The trembling of Shen Qing's Crimson Sky blade ceased, and even the surging overbearing true qi came to a halt.

"Fine, we'll do as you say."

Houteng also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

But Shen Qing continued: "However, even if we were to let Gongben Sansong go, it seems someone is unwilling, you see."

Houteng's face changed; is someone still going to attack Gongben Sansong? He hastily turned around.

However, gazing into the distance, only the vice general took Gongben and fled; there was no sign of any pursuers.

Houteng felt a thump in his heart! Oh no! I've been tricked!

He quickly turned back, but it was already too late; Shen Qing's Zero-Frame Initiation, carrying fierce golden light, had already lunged at him.

Houteng shouted angrily: "Shen Qing! You have no shame! As a mere limit-breaker, you actually use such despicable tactics!"

Bang!

The Heaven-Opening Absolute Skill struck precisely onto Houteng's body; fierce blood spurted out, and Houteng's whole body turned into a phantom that swiftly smashed into the forest below, kicking up dust everywhere.

Shen Qing heard Houteng's futile rage after his defense broke, and laughed.

"Despicable? You think I don't know what you're thinking?"

"What 'surrender and be captured'? Do you believe that? You just want to wait for Gongben Sansong to get far away before fighting us to the death, right?"

"Do you think I'm as foolish as a white ape? Would I believe the words of a bunch of Japanese pirates?"

"Get lost and die!"
