Chapter 140: Great Martial's sky has completely darkened!

Shen Qing looked at the person in the white flood dragon's hand who was like a dead dog: "Are you Gongben Sansong?"

The white-haired Gongben Sansong slowly opened his eyes; his voice was weak but full of anger: "You are Shen Qing!"

Shen Qing pinched Gongben's mouth, chuckled: "You recognized me before I even said anything? Looks like I did a thorough job killing—you must have spent a lot of time hiding at home looking at my portrait."

"I've also seen your portrait; I remember you didn't look like this. Why is your hair all white? Are you in such a hurry?"

Gongben Sansong gritted his teeth: "The winner is king, the loser is bandit; I lost, I have nothing to say."

"Give me a quick death!"

Smack!

Shen Qing swung a palm and directly slapped Gongben's face.

"Want another quick death?"

"That's a nice thought, but falling into my hands, dying isn't that simple."

"Come with me."

Saying that, Shen Qing turned his head and flew toward the direction of the Japanese pirates' camp.

At the Japanese pirates' camp, the Grand Master and Master realm experts on the pirates' side have already been nearly cut down by Shen Qing.

Of the original 30,000 Japanese pirates, only 20,000 remain now, but even these 20,000 won't last much longer.

These people basically have no resistance when facing the Great Martial army, and moreover, with the ferocious beasts helping, the rhino herds, buffalo herds, and white elephant herds are outright war machines—any random charge would be unbearable for the Japanese pirates.

Li Xian shouted: "Hold formation! All martial artists coordinate with the ferocious beasts! Pay attention to shielding the white elephants!"

The Great Martial army slowly contracted, step by step compressing the pirates' living space.

Just then, a shadow from the sky attacked, and Shen Qing's voice rang out.

"Come, Gongben Sansong, look—down there are your soldiers, being slaughtered."

"And you are their supreme commander, yet you abandoned them to flee—do you have no shame?"

Everyone below hastily raised their heads.

The Great Martial side's Grand Master realm experts were the first to see the situation clearly, and also saw Gongben Sansong in Bai Yun's claw.

Their faces instantly flushed red, and their voices rose a few notches.

"It's Gongben Sansong! It's Gongben Sansong!"

"Lord Shen has captured Gongben!"

The remaining Great Martial soldiers who couldn't see clearly looked at each other; not long after, cheers began to echo through the clouds, and even some soldiers covered their faces and burst into tears.

Jia Shui Jun had been poisoned by the Japanese pirates for too long; today they finally captured the archvillain.

But the Japanese pirates' side was different; their faces were full of despair, and they muttered.

"This is impossible..."

"General Gongben!"

But there wasn't much time left for them to mourn.

A shadow in the sky rapidly expanded! It violently smashed toward the very center of the pirate horde!

Boom!

Smoke and dust billowed up, blocking the pirates' vision.

In the next instant, a blood-colored mist began to rapidly spread; three blood-colored phantom dragons roared out from the smoke and dust, and a golden blade of light slashed forth from the smoke!

The dozens of pirates closest were directly chopped into fragments.

Shen Qing burst out of the smoke and dust like a demon, grabbed a pirate's head with one hand, clenched his five fingers, and with a mighty pull tore out the head along with the spine.

Shen Qing waved the spine, which turned into a blade; a single swing released a blood-colored arc, cutting several pirates in half at the waist, flesh and bone fragments flying.

Shen Qing laughed wildly: "Gongben Sansong, open your dog eyes and look carefully! This is how I slaughtered your favorite soldiers!"

"Did you ever think this day would come when you slaughtered the people of Great Martial?"

As he spoke, Shen Qing smashed several more pirates' heads.

In the sky, Gongben Sansong frantically struggled in Bai Yun's claw, but it was utterly futile; he could not break free from Bai Yun's grasp.

His liver and gall felt like they were bursting: "Stop! Come at me!"

Shen Qing snorted, grabbed a pirate, and tore him in half.

"What about your friendship and bonds? Show them—let me see!"

The pirates cried out, raising their heads: "General Gongben! Save me! I don't want to die!"

Gongben let out a desperate roar.

Meanwhile, Shen Qing appeared behind the shouting pirate and punched his head into his chest.

Afterwards, he snorted and looked toward Gongben Sansong.

"Gongben, your soldiers shouted your name even as they died, believing you would save them!"

"But you worthless waste can't save anything!"

Gongben trembled all over, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly, and finally he fainted outright.

Shen Qing snorted, casually swung a knife-hand, slicing through the waist of over a hundred pirates beside him.

"Can't even withstand this? Boring."

"Hurry up and act, dispose of these disgusting people's things."

Shen Qing waved his hand, flew up into the high sky, while the Great Martial soldiers, whose morale had risen again, could no longer hold back; each roared like a hungry wolf and charged forward, madly slaughtering the pirates who had completely lost their will to resist.

Bai Yun watched Shen Qing fly over, lifted Gongben Sansong in his hand: "Master, what should we do with this now? Kill him outright?"

Shen Qing glanced at it: "What nonsense are you talking? Kill? His torment has only just begun."

"Over these years, the southern part of Jia Shui Jun has nearly fallen; the dead civilians number in the millions, countless displaced—he thinks he can just die like that? Impossible."

"Moreover, haven't you noticed? The Primordial Elixir realm Houteng Ningyuan would rather die than let Gongben escape—this shows Gongben's identity is not ordinary."

We will interrogate him; of course he definitely won't talk, so we will use the harshest punishments to torture him, extracting information bit by bit from his mouth, then use his information to attack the Wokou, and finally tell him the information of our great victory, so that he too will suffer endless torture in prison.

Until finally he is of no use at all, then he slowly suffers extreme torture until death.

Wu Yang Prefecture, capital city, imperial palace.

The old eunuch hurriedly ran to the imperial garden, the joy on his face impossible to conceal.

Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Good news! Good news!

Great victory in Jia Shui Jun!

Zhu Lingyue waved a hand; the guards blocking the door immediately made way, and the old eunuch hurriedly ran in.

Your Majesty, great victory in Jia Shui Jun!

Shen Qing led twenty thousand ferocious beasts from White Egret Marsh southward, replaced Li Xian's position as commander-in-chief, led the army to wipe out all the Wokou in Jia Shui Jun in one fell swoop, even the Wokou commander Gong Ben San Song was captured alive by Shen Qing.

Moreover, Shen Qing slew two Primordial Elixirs in a single battle! It's confirmed, Shen Qing now possesses the combat power of the Primordial Elixir Realm! He is a Limit Breaker! Heaven blesses our Great Wu!

Zhu Lingyue opened eyes and glanced at the old eunuch: 'In the past you always said we should restrict Shen Qing; today you don't mention it?'

The old eunuch calmed a little, shook his head: 'Your Majesty, I think we should still restrict them, but we cannot restrict their growth, after all every Limit Breaker has infinite possibilities; to restrict their growth would certainly be inappropriate.'

I think what should be restricted is Shen Qing's behavior, so he can't keep killing people like this; now in Jia Shui Jun it's fine, since he's only killing Wokou, but Great Wu doesn't have Wokou everywhere—who would Shen Qing kill then? If he keeps killing like this, those princes and aristocratic families will suffer greatly, and they are all Your Majesty's people.

But this is just my personal opinion; my vision is narrow, I should still listen to Your Majesty.

Zhu Lingyue remained silent for a long time.

The old eunuch carefully glanced at Zhu Lingyue and whispered: 'Your Majesty...'

Zhu Lingyue then spoke: 'It's too late; the Zhu and Shen families had an agreement—whichever family produces a Limit Breaker, the other must wholeheartedly assist in cultivating that Limit Breaker.'

These words struck like a thunderclap above the old eunuch's head—what does this mean?

Not only can we not restrict Shen Qing, but we must actually vigorously cultivate him?

Damn it!

The sky of Great Wu has completely darkened!
