At that point, Bei Feng could not think of anything to say. The death substitution technique could be counted as one of the top spirit power abilities in the spirit power realm, and was extremely rare.
Furthermore, it was an extremely useful technique, which Gu Qi itself had used twice to escape death!
So, it could be said that without the death substitution technique, Gu Qi would have died twice!
Yet the gangster rabbit just gave up on it like that.
“Weng!”
A soft vibrating sound could be heard as the two powerful weapons emitted powerful Qi in the air.
The weapons were first enhanced when the gangster rabbit Gu Qi broke through to Fourth Layer, and then further enhanced when Gu Qi gave up on the other two techniques to focus on these two.
“Gu!”
Looking at the changing sword and clock, the gangster rabbit grinned, grabbed its sword, and flung it at the small mountain hundreds of meters away!
“Weng!”
The blood-red sword vibrated fiercely before it charged at the small mountain!
“Boom!”
The mountain peak started to lean towards one side before falling off eventually.
“Ji, ji!”
In a good mood, the gangster rabbit then turned his attention to the floating clock.
“Ring!”
With one thought, the blood-red clock rang loudly in an intimidating tone.
“Boom!”
When the clock rang, everything within the perimeter of a kilometer exploded, turning into powder.
“Strong power indeed. Ten times stronger than before!” Bei Feng muttered his breath. “Is it worth it to give up on death substitution technique for a stronger attack?”
Bei Feng was starting to doubt whether it was a bad decision.
But since the gangster rabbit Gu Qi had already done it, there was no turning back. Bei Feng was worried because the gangster rabbit could be a little irrational sometimes.
Normally, it would be an obedient pet, chewing on carrots and looking cute. However, when agitated, it became unstoppable before it saw blood.
“Alright, let’s leave first. There will be plenty of opportunities to experiment.”
Bei Feng looked up at the sky, where the swirl of Ling Qi slowly dissipated.
However, the Ling Qi around was much stronger.
As expected, when Bei Feng and the gangster rabbit Gu Qi prepared to leave, big demonic beasts appeared, wanting to fight for their territory.
Bei Feng and the gangster rabbit then hurriedly ran into the woods. Whenever the two heard noises, they would avoid them and leave in another direction.
That was how they travelled for the next five days.
Thanks to the two’s high cultivation realm, they were able to conclude the travel safely.
After reaching the valley, a person appeared in front of Bei Feng, and greeted, “Greetings, Family Head!”
“Oh, where is Lu Bu?” Bei Feng asked casually.
“Family Head, General Lu had led the rest on a cultivation trip, so it’s my turn to wait for Family Head’s arrival. Family Head, should I call General Lu and the rest back?”
The man’s eyes were filled with nothing but respect for Bei Feng.
Not only was it due to his gratitude for Bei Feng’s adoption, but also gratitude for his nurturing. People like him were deeply loyal to Bei Feng.
“No need. You and Gu Qi guard the valley while I go into closed cultivation. Also, don’t allow anyone in during this period,” Bei Feng instructed the two.
“Yes!” Lu Jia answered, emitting sturdy Hundred Year realm Qi.
After instructing the two, Bei Feng went further into the valley.
“After this round of fishing, I shall be upgraded,” Bei Feng muttered to himself as he grabbed himself a fishing stick with a wave of his hand.
The fishing rod was exquisite and full of energy. Its outer appearance was crystal clear, while the inside was filled with flames!
Bei Feng casually tossed the rod into the pond. It made a few bops before sinking into the water, creating a black swirl which sucked in all the water.
Within the Myriad Worlds, in a country named Baiyue. Blood flowed like a river within the palace, and countless bodies floated in the river of blood.
Large sections of the royal palace had collapsed, and the sounds of killing and cries of pain rang out from all directions.
Two sides were clashing in a fierce melee, and large numbers of cavalry rode forth continuously towards the half-destroyed palace!
These riders were incredibly powerful. They were fully clad in shiny black armor, with only small openings for their eyes and mouth on their helmets. They held large black halberds in their hands.
Their steeds were dragon horses. The strength of each horse was boundless, and they could travel 10,000 li a day. These were horses that were said to have the bloodline of dragons, and each one would fetch an inestimable price!
Tens of thousand of these horsemen charged forward; the tremor from their hooves digging into the ground could be felt tens of li away. This group of riders barged with unstoppable momentum into the palace!
The incomparably heavy palace doors were directly sliced apart with one swing of a pitch-black halberd!
“KILL! A corrupt ruler is a curse upon the people. Let us offer the blood of the royals as a sacrifice for the great general!”
“KILL!”
At this time, the people who were fighting inside the palace also heard this voice, and their eyes instantly widened with shock.
“This is great! It’s the great general’s troops!”
“Kill! Kill them all!”
The cultivators who had been suppressed by the several thousand Yu Ling Guards immediately cheered with joy. In an instant, this group that only numbered a few hundred seemed to be invigorated as they found strength from an unknown place, managing to actually push the Yu Ling Guards back!
“Atrocious! Your general is already dead! How dare you all behave like this in the land ruled by our king!”
“Seeking death! Your Majesty is too merciful towards these people, they should be punished by death! How dare these people revolt after you have given them jobs as miners and taken in their family members!!”
“How dare this preposterous bunch revolt against my royalty!!”
“Your Majesty, your humble servant is willing to lead an army to eliminate the sinners!”
Below the throne, officials were talking loudly, while a general even offered to be of service by going to war!
“Ten sinners camp! I did not expect a camp for the wretched would nurture some important figures. They were nothing but the knife of the dynasty!”
Yong Xuan looked calm, but deep down, he felt infuriated. Those sinners were sent to fight on the front line because they deserved to die, yet they could get pardoned whenever they won a fight.
That was due to a rule in Baiyue that anyone who committed a crime could be pardoned if they could kill a hundred soldiers of the country’s enemy.
Now, those sinners not only did not feel grateful for the rule, but had also fought their way into the palace!
“Today’s events are actually part of my plan, but never did I expect so many people to fall for my plot. Can my beloved servants explain to me why? Never mind the generals, but how did the Ten Sinners Camp become part of the revolt?”
Yong Xuan’s voice was soft, but his words were like a hammer, hitting the nail in everyone’s heart, frightening the officials who quickly knelt down.
“Forget it, I do not want to listen to your explanations. Whoever is in charge of security shall be executed. I have never thought that someone would dare to revolt against me when my reign has brought peace and prosperity to the nation!”
Yong Xuan’s face was as dark as the night when he grunted in anger.
“Where is the Hundred Wars Camp?” Yong Xuan shouted, his voice echoing down the whole palace, a clear sign that his cultivation level was not ordinary.
“Boom!”
As soon as Yong Xuan’s words were out, a rider wearing blood-red armor rushed forward, looking all prepared!
Riders in red armor were part of the elite troop, which was very formidable!
These riders rode Dragon Horses! Though the blood of those beasts was not pure, they were stronger than small dragons!
Despite the fact that Ten Sinners Camp and Hundred Wars Camp were armed very differently, they charged at each other without hesitation!
As the two parties fought, Yong Xuan did not feel too bothered, as he was confident that the revolting army would never succeed. From resources to numbers, the Ten Sinners Camp was far behind the Hundred Wars Camp.
Furthermore, the soldiers of Hundred Wars Camp were elites among elites, ranking among the top three troops of neighboring twenty-plus nations.
The expenditure of maintaining this troop of 50,000 soldiers easily took up one-tenth of the Baiyue’s money reserve!
On the other hand, the army of Baiyue, which had two million soldiers, did not need more than the Hundred Wars Camp!
Even the lowest cultivation level of a soldier in the Hundred Wars Camp was Martial Artist with the strength of ten thousand jin!
Paired with the powerful Dragon Horse, the combo would be unbeatably fast, able to cover hundreds of thousands of li overnight!
“Roar!”
The dragon horses roared, each dragon horse growing to a height of three zhang at least. Though they had the head of a horse, their mouths were filled with razor-sharp teeth, proving themselves to be carnivores!
These creatures had scales and claws of dragons as well.
“Kill, kill everyone of them!”
When the dragon horses roared, the horses of the Ten Sinners Camp felt uneasy as their kind was inferior to Dragon Horses.
However, as the soldiers of Ten Sinners Camp sat confidently on them, the horses calmed down, and regained their fighting spirit.
A thick blood-red haze hovered above the Ten Sinners Camp, not dispersible by wind!
It was the result of many killings that had taken place here!
Though the Ten Sinners Camp had only ten thousand soldiers, their momentum was not slower than the Hundred Wars Camp’s.
Regaining their confidence, the horses of Ten Sinners Camp looked like they were ready to challenge even dragons!
“Boom!”
The horses were as strong as they could be, and the ground made of granite rocks cracked instantly the moment it got stepped on by the horses!
Holes were created in the ground due to the horses’ explosive energy!
As the two troops clashed, one could see from the sky that the two forces created a flesh-grinding machine in the middle as many soldiers died every second.
“KILL!”
“For justice!”
“Kill all the traitors!”
“His Majesty was so generous, yet you chose to betray him! Receive punishment!”
After the clash, the two troops separated, glaring at each other.
In the middle of the field were thousands of corpses from both Camps. One horse even stayed beside a corpse, unwilling to leave its rider.
“How is this possible?!”
“Ten Sinners Camp actually had the upper hand!”
“What a surprise! If it weren’t for their revolt, nobody would have guessed how strong they have now become!”
“Looks like the Ten Sinners Camp had plans of revolting long ago. If their general hadn’t been killed earlier, they would have made it more worrisome for me!”
The officials all looked shocked by what they saw at the battlefield.
Eighty percent of the corpses on the battlefield were soldiers of the Hundred Wars Camp!
After all these years of fighting along the north, the Hundred Wars Camp had already been regarded as a undefeatable legend!
And yet, they had lost despite having more soldiers and resources. It was unbelievable!
Furthermore, the Ten Sinners Camp had travelled the night to reach the capital, while the Hundred Wars Camp just sat and waited. Yet, the result was like that!
“Uncle Qin…”
“We will win! Definitely will win!”
“Let’s turn the tables around!”
The hundreds of soldiers prayed in their minds as they got surrounded by thousands of Yu Ling Guards.
At that moment, the hundreds of people were praying for Ten Sinners Camp to win, but the surrounding Yu Ling Guards did not attack them.
“Hundreds of wars!”
“Till death do not we stop!” a tall man shouted from his five zhang tall dragon horse, rallying the spirits of his Hundred Wars Camp soldiers to increase their morale!
On the other side, a rusty voice could be heard. Though not powerful, it sounded grim.
The Ten Sinners Camp soldiers behind him did not speak, but emitted a deathly Qi so thick it could be seen by everyone!
It appeared in the form of a gray cloud, so deadly it could kill a commoner just by getting near!
