Chapter 259: Of course I'm here to give his last rites—what, did you think I came to celebrate his birthday?

And not long after Shen Qing left, Ye Kong, Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard of the Secluded Prefecture, finally brought people here.

As soon as he arrived, seeing corpses covering the mountains and fields, he froze.

Now he understands why Shen Qing had him bring all of the Embroidered Uniform Guard from Mysterious Secluded City.

On this mountaintop, everything is severed limbs and broken arms.

A Vice Commander had a strange expression: "This... this..."

At that moment, a Captain picked up a head: "Hey, Lord Ye, look, does this head resemble the Heavenly Blessing Star?"

There's also one here; this is the head of the Earth Beast Star...

Another Captain walked to the cliff edge, picked up half a body from the ground: "Lord Ye... this person... looks like the Heavenly Hero Star!"

Immediately after, he saw the situation in the mountains; even a Captain accustomed to corpses sucked in a breath of cold air, and he waved back.

"Come quickly and look!"

Everyone rushed over, and upon seeing the bloody valley clearly, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.

A Vice Commander said: "Too brutal!"

Suddenly, a Lieutenant discovered something: "Lord Ye! There seem to be words left by Lord Shen here, telling you to tidy up and go to Seven Lotus Mountain Villa."

White River Martial Saint's personal name is Sun Cha, and he also left some descendants; after full calculation, his lineal descendants now number over a hundred, previously scattered everywhere.

Today, to celebrate Sun Cha's birthday, everyone, young and old, has come to Seven Lotus Mountain Villa.

Here, the sound of firecrackers has not ceased since morning.

A green-clad youth was greeting guests at the villa gate; Shen Qing descended carrying a huge colorful gift box, inside which was a large bell he had just snatched from an abandoned temple along the road.

The green-clad youth smiled and clasped his hands toward Shen Qing: "I have seen this lord; may I ask who you are?"

Shen Qing glanced at him and casually gave a name: "I am the Heavenly Hero Star."

The youth's eyes lit up at once: "So you are the Heavenly Hero Star, sir!"

"Your arrival is just perfect! Our ancestor just woke up and is now in the courtyard."

Saying this, the youth peered and looked behind Shen Qing: "Heavenly Hero Star sir, I heard that other Heavenly Gang Stars and Earth Fiend Stars are coming this time; didn't they come with you?"

Shen Qing waved his hand nonchalantly: "They went ahead to a place; don't rush, you'll see them shortly."

The youth stared, wondering what 'they went ahead to a place, you'll see them shortly' meant.

To pay birthday respects to his own ancestor, where else could he go? But he didn't dare ask further.

He could only smile and nod: "All right, Heavenly Hero Star sir, please come inside!"

Shen Qing lifted his foot and entered the courtyard.

In the courtyard, clouds and mist swirled; several white cranes stood silently by the lakeside, and a few muntjac deer could be faintly seen, giving quite an immortal realm feeling.

His gaze shifted.

A white-clad old man sat quietly in a small pavilion, exuding an immortal aura; this person was the White River Martial Saint.

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows.

This old thing still knows how to enjoy himself.

But let him enjoy it a bit more; later he won't be able to.

Shen Qing carried the bell wrapped in the gift box toward the White Crane Martial Saint.

At this moment, their discussion also reached Shen Qing's ears.

A middle-aged person looked at the White River Martial Saint: "Ancestor, you have finally returned! In your absence we were all going to be scared to death by that Shen Qing."

Another youth also spoke: "Yes, it's like a horror story; that Shen Qing is practically the nemesis of our White Dragon Sect."

Moreover, his rate of strength increase is frightening; the White Dragon Sect almost has to update its intelligence on him daily.

"Look, just yesterday new intelligence came again: Shen Qing killed seven or eight Half-Saints in Wuyang Prefecture, and the sect estimates he is an invincible Half-Saint level combat power."

"Ancestor, does the sect have any advice on how to deal with Shen Qing? I fear he might suddenly attain Martial Saint level strength one day."

White River Martial Saint Sun Cha slowly opened his eyes: "You are just scared witless by that Shen Qing."

"The greatest gap between Half-Saint and Martial Saint is the Domain; intelligence says Shen Qing doesn't even have a Domain prototype, let alone a Domain—without comprehending a Domain he's ultimately just an ant."

"Furthermore, I tell you, when the time comes I will act against Shen Qing."

"In the past, when our Martial Saint wasn't around it didn't matter; now that our Martial Saint has returned, if Shen Qing faces me he will learn what it means to be a frog in a well gazing at the moon..."

Just then, Shen Qing stepped forward, arriving before the White River Martial Saint, his face somewhat displeased, and he thrust a palm-up elbow directly into the saint's chest.

Boom!

The White River Martial Saint flew backward, landing in the pool.

The speed was so fast that those around had no time to react.

Shen Qing's voice rang out.

"Damn! From the moment I entered the courtyard, you've spoken a total of nine sentences, eight of them inseparable from my name."

"How come today is for paying birthday respects to me?"

As soon as he said that, the middle-aged person's face changed instantly and he jumped up.

"You are Shen Qing! How are you here?"

Shen Qing glanced at him, casually grabbed, took the large bell wrapped in the gift box, and with force shoved the middle-aged person into it.

"Of course I'm here to give the White River Martial Saint his last rites."

"Or did you come to celebrate his birthday?!"

Shen Qing struck it hard!

Dong!

The bell's sound rang through the heavens, and the middle-aged person trapped inside spewed from his eye sockets, his eyes suffused with bloodshot threads.

Immediately after.

Bang!

He directly exploded into a blood mist.

At this moment, Baihe Martial Saint also rose from the pool, but he was now a drenched chicken, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, showing no trace of a longevity star, in a sorry state.

"You are Shen Qing! Exactly as the rumors said! No martial virtue!"

"But good, you've angered me!"

"I will make you know what a true Martial Saint is!"

"I will kill you!"

Shen Qing's eyes held contempt.

"How come you all like saying that?"

They never tire of saying it, but Shen Qing is tired of hearing it.

Shen Qing took a step forward.

The Slaughter Domain instantly unfolded, covering the entire Seven Lotus Mountain Villa, and the Slaughter Armor also instantly covered.

At this moment, Shen Qing had already activated the Slaughter Armor, but the Slaughter Armor now was vastly different in style from before.

The Slaughter Armor at this moment was a dark, deep red, with the shoulder guards flaring outward into menacing black spikes, and crimson patterns covered the entire armor, flickering faintly with Shen Qing's breath.

Now the Slaughter Armor is more like a moving monument forged from death.

This is a wondrous reaction between the Slaughter Domain and the Slaughter Armor; within the Slaughter Domain, the power of the Slaughter Armor is greatly enhanced.

And with the Slaughter Domain and the enhanced Slaughter Armor bolstering him, Shen Qing's speed became even more terrifying, almost teleporting to before Baihe Martial Saint.

Boom!

One punch sent Baihe Martial Saint flying.

"Slaughter Domain!!!"

"How is this possible? The intelligence said you were invincible at the Half-Saint Realm!"

At this moment, Baihe Martial Saint Sun Cha really had his defenses broken a bit.

Is the difference from the intelligence really that great?

And Shen Qing had already arrived before Baihe Martial Saint, continuing with a combo.

"Your White Dragon Sect's intelligence, besides having a short shelf life, you don't know that?"
