Chapter 416

The people of Sang Country were also completely dumbfounded.

Seeing with their own eyes that the Sword Saint who originally risked his life to protect them actually bowed to the enemy, they felt their brains were about to explode.

"Bastard! What kind of joke is this! That is the Left-Handed Sword Saint Lord Ban Ban Mumang!"

"Sword Saint Lord! You are the strongest Hao Yue Realm expert in our Great Sang Empire! You are the number one person in the sword path; how could you do such a shameful thing!"

"Sword Saint Lord, did you willingly suffer this humiliation just to protect us?"

The Sang Country people were grief-stricken, countless eyes staring fixedly at Ban Ban Mumang's semi-transparent soul body.

"Master, why is this?" Shiba Yingdou also roared out.

He didn't want Master Ban Ban Mumang to die in battle, but he didn't want to see Ban Ban Mumang groveling before the enemy even more!

"Yingdou, you don't understand! That Lord is an existence we simply cannot defeat; how can bowing before such a strong person be considered a shame? This is an honor!"

Saying this, Ban Ban Mumang puffed out his chest, his face full of arrogance.

Ye Lin was a bit speechless... because he could feel Ban Ban Mumang's emotions through the Human Emperor Flag.

This old guy wasn't deceiving himself; he really thought so from the bottom of his heart...

"Shut up! I don't have a master like you!"

Shiba Yingdou was furious, carrying his sword and charging to kill Ban Ban Mumang.

"My stupid disciple, how far can that sword of yours slice now?"

The corners of Ban Ban Mumang's mouth curled into a cold sneer; Shiba Yingdou's sword techniques were all taught by him, and he had also watched Shiba Yingdou grow up with his own eyes.

Even though he no longer had a physical body and had become a soul body, he was still confident in dealing with Shiba Yingdou.

Ban Ban Mumang condensed a longsword through soul power, directly engaging in a great battle with Shiba Yingdou.

Ban Ban Mumang had lost his physical body, and his strength was greatly reduced, but his sword techniques were incomparably exquisite, and he could catch Shiba Yingdou's flaws every time.

More importantly, Ban Ban Mumang, as a soul body, also had an immortal body!

As long as Ye Lin did not die and the Human Emperor Flag did not fall, he, as the main soul, could be resurrected endlessly!

Question Ye Lin, understand Ye Lin, become Ye Lin, surpass Ye Lin!

Only at this moment did Ban Ban Mumang truly realize how refreshing it was to have an immortal body!

An attack that couldn't be dodged? Then don't dodge it!

Ban Ban Mumang laughed strangely and continued to charge toward Shiba Yingdou, while Shiba Yingdou finally realized the despair Ban Ban Mumang had just felt when fighting Ye Lin.

Facing a monster that couldn't be killed, there was simply no possibility of victory...

No matter how many times Shiba Yingdou heavily injured and killed Ban Ban Mumang, Ban Ban Mumang could always rush out of that dark golden flag again, full of vigor.

Finally, under this war of attrition, Ban Ban Mumang seized the opportunity and stabbed a sword into Shiba Yingdou's heart.

"Sword Peak · Cherry Dance!"

Shiba Yingdou opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood; he had already been heavily injured by Ye Lin, and this strike by Ban Ban Mumang completely severed all his vitality.

"Master..."

Shiba Yingdou's eyes were filled with pain.

He didn't expect that he would actually die at the hands of the master he respected the most.

Ban Ban Mumang suddenly turned around and knelt toward Ye Lin with a thud.

"Lord, I implore you to grant my disciple Yingdou the honor of entering the Human Emperor Flag! He... is the person I care about the most! Please, Lord, grant this!"

Ban Ban Mumang kowtowed heavily.

Ye Lin was truly dumbfounded; it was his first time seeing someone actively wanting to bring friends and family into the Human Emperor Flag—even novels wouldn't dare write it like this!

"Uh... okay... let him in." Ye Lin's mouth twitched slightly.

"Yingdou, why aren't you thanking that Lord yet?"

Ban Ban Mumang looked excitedly at Shiba Yingdou, who was about to breathe his last; there was still hesitation in Shiba Yingdou's eyes.

"What are you waiting for? Yingdou! What kind of expression is that!"

Ban Ban Mumang put on a stern face, like a strict but kind father.

"Groveling before someone far stronger than yourself is not a shame at all, but wisdom! It is a manifestation of a person knowing how to be flexible and judge the situation! Don't be stupid, Yingdou!"

Under Ban Ban Mumang's heartfelt teaching, the hesitation in Shiba Yingdou's eyes gradually dissipated.

"I understand, Master!"

Shiba Yingdou also abandoned his physical body and became a main soul of the Human Emperor Flag; when he saw his semi-transparent body, a bit of excitement also appeared on Shiba Yingdou's face.

"Sugoi!"

"With a body like this, you won't feel any pain at all; this is simply invincible!"

Ban Ban Mumang looked at Shiba Yingdou with a smile; from now on, the two of them, master and disciple, could practice the sword together forever.

"Go, do it; bring the people of this city into the Human Emperor Flag as well, and let them obtain eternal life too."

A kind smile hung on the corner of Ye Lin's mouth.

Didn't these Sang Country people want to respectfully send off their Left-Handed Sword Saint?

Didn't they view this Left-Handed Sword Saint as the great hero of their Sang Country?

Then, he would let Ban Ban Mumang complete this city-wide slaughter.

Letting the hero who just protected them slaughter them with his own hands—this was truly killing the heart!

Following Ye Lin's order, Ban Ban Mumang and Shiba Yingdou did not hesitate at all and drew their longswords simultaneously.

"Master, let us fight side by side once again!"

"Good!"

The two led the army of soul bodies and charged straight toward the city ahead, launching a slaughter against this city!

With the leadership of two main souls, the originally chaotic-looking army of soul bodies was clearly much more orderly.

The people in this city simply couldn't block the torrent of over eight hundred thousand soul bodies.

After all, although this city was a large one, it only had a population of one hundred thousand; on average, one Sang Country person had to deal with eight soul bodies.

Screams resounded both inside and outside the city.

"Don't! Sword Saint Lord, didn't you say you wanted to protect the lights of ten thousand homes?"

"Lord Yingdou! You even held me when I was a child; I beg you, don't kill me!"

"Someone save us! God Lord! Almighty God Lord, save us!"

Throughout the entire city, thick despair permeated; no one expected that the ones ultimately slaughtering them would be the heroes who originally protected them!

Facing those pleas for mercy, there was not the slightest movement on the faces of Ban Ban Mumang and Shiba Yingdou; instead, they became more excited the more they killed, as if something engraved in their genes had awakened.

This inhumane slaughter actually made them feel a faint sense of excitement!

Ban Ban Mumang held his longsword, killing happily; every time he swung his sword, several heads fell to the ground.

"Yingdou, let's compare and see who kills more enemies!"

"Good, I won't lose to Master!"

Shiba Yingdou's sword techniques were also incomparably astonishing; every strike went straight for the vital points, killing the Sang Country people until corpses were scattered everywhere.

This city had already turned into a living hell!
