Chapter 461: Chapter 218 The Demon Lord Descends the Mountain, the Killing Star Arrives!_2
Behind him, soldiers mercilessly slaughtered members of famous families dressed in their finest.
The second figure to appear was an emperor in the yellow robe of the Son of Heaven, yet he held a butcher’s blade.
"Cut down the barbarians!"
At his command, countless heads fell to the ground.
And in the third scene, there was a young soldier in black leather armor. He shouldered the black Qin Banner in one hand and wielded a Qin Spear in the other, engaging in close combat on the battlefield.
All three beings were filled with a terrifying intent to kill, as if they were waiting for something.
Li Yelai quickly reached into the inner pocket of his clothes and pulled out a black object. It was a palm-sized black jade horn.
That was a Taboo Item, the Nether River Horn!
Indeed, the Nether River Horn could briefly resurrect the dead, a true resurrection, not mere manipulation of corpses.
The resurrected corpses retained the memories and consciousness they had before death.
The requirement was that the deceased’s brain had not been destroyed. On the cold Great Snow Mountain, Li Qiong’s body was well-preserved, and by blowing the horn, he could be temporarily brought back to life.
But the cost was an impulse to stitch together limbs, which would grow more intense with each use.
In the end, one would become a horrifying monster patched together with countless limbs!
But for just one time, Li Yelai could fully afford the price.
He could see his father again, converse with his father once more.
But not now...
"Old man..." Li Yelai exhaled, "We father and son haven’t seen each other for too long, we should have had a good catch-up... but you’ll have to wait a little longer... just a bit..."
"Until I’ve killed them all!"
"Until I’ve butchered them all without a single one left! Tear them to pieces!"
"After that, we..." Li Yelai choked up, "can catch up properly!"
Tears flowed, weakness faded, all that remained... was that ironclad will for revenge!
Li Yelai struggled to recover his Spiritual Energy, and when it peaked, he drew the Golden Bone Sword from behind him without a hint of hesitation, plunging it straight into his chest!
His heart beat frantically, as if resisting this encroaching death.
But Li Yelai forcefully drove the bone sword deeper into his body, feeling life slowly slipping away, yet he gritted his teeth and said, "Kill them... spare not one, exterminate them all!"
"Kill!"
Blood dripped down along the bone sword, forming a pool that even the low temperature began to freeze, pulling his body rapidly towards death.
But his heart refused to surrender, channeling the remaining life force to mend the internal wounds, unable to stop a person who was bent on suicide.
Yes, a person intent on suicide.
But Li Yelai’s suicide was not for the sake of dying!
Because he now knew the true identity of those three responders and had determined how he should proceed to establish contact with them!
In the moment Li Yelai plunged the sword into his own heart, the bone sword was knocked away by a force, his broken left arm swiftly healed, and the pool of blood on the ground was quickly reabsorbed, flowing back into Li Yelai’s body.
At the same time, the Qin State soldier he saw holding the Qin Spear stepped forward with a smile that met Li Yelai’s.
In the next instant, Li Yelai saw the young man wielding the Qin Spear, standing among the military formations.
Fighting together with thousands of soldiers against the enemy.
"Never stop fighting until the blood runs dry!" he roared, cutting off the heads of his foes!
Due to the Qin Dynasty’s twenty-tiered military honors and nobility system, the young soldier’s status rose higher with each military achievement.
The Battle Armor on his body improved, starting from leather armor to copper armor.
Eventually, he even donned the Iron Armor rare in that era.
No longer young, after enduring many bloody battles, he had reached old age, his hair white yet still robust.
The soldiers behind him grew in number, his status ever higher.
He became the greatest general of that era. Countries far and wide whispered his fearsome name.
He led the most terrifying Legion of his time to the battlefield of Changping in the state of Zhao.
The most terrifying war of that era had thus erupted!
After the battle, he looked down at the generals and soldiers in the massive pit, countless arrows and swords embedded in their bodies, enough to kill him hundreds of times over, yet still they had not succeeded in killing him. He was like some monster.
His unrecognizable form was trapped by chains, tightly nailed into the pit.
"You can’t kill me... Lord Wu’an," the soldier said with difficulty.
"It seems I’ve underestimated you, Ma Fuzi. Along with four hundred thousand troops, you’ve forfeited your life..." The white-haired general spoke, though old, his voice was exceptionally strong: "Pity, this era, after all, belongs to me, belongs to Great Qin!"
"You won’t meet a good end..." Ma Fuzi responded with difficulty.
The white-haired general nodded, "No matter, let me carry the name of a slaughterer then."
Then, the most dreadful order of that era was given.
Four hundred thousand Zhao soldiers were all buried alive!
He was also known as the Butcher. Just as Ma Fuzi had said, he didn’t meet a good end, taking his own life with a sword in his later years.
And this was also the final step in Li Yelai’s connection to him. Li Yelai too had once killed numerous angels and members of the Forbidden Zone Army; now by committing suicide, he reconnected cause and effect.
Thus, within the bizarre space, a new Face emerged on a blank mask—a white background with black patterns, full of stern killing intent.
And Li Yelai’s wounds, too, were fully healed.
His body recovered, Spiritual Energy restored. Now it was time to begin his vengeance!
...
Elsewhere, a few hours later.
On the slopes of Snow Mountain, two Withered who had stayed behind were idly chatting.
They were still fixated on the Spiritual Ability Equipment on Li Yelai’s body.
"It’s a real pity. If we could venture deeper into Snow Mountain, maybe we could find some of those treasures," a female Withered said: "I still haven’t got any Spiritual Ability Equipment to this day."
"Don’t even think about it. Don’t you remember what happened six years ago? Those humans and the angels that came pursuing them were all formidable. Each one vowed to resist to the death until we snapped their limbs and tendons, turning them into breeding machines. In the end, they still took their own lives, and the strongest of them managed to flee into Snow Mountain. None of our companions who chased after him ever returned," a male Withered laughed: "If we hadn’t cut off one of his legs then, he might have really escaped."
"That one was also very powerful; he killed me nine times," the female Withered shivered as she said: "He was quite a figure in the outside world too."
"Hey, I heard those angels say that this human broke into the depths of the Forbidden Zone and killed a few high-level angels, stealing something precious from them. He was about to escape when he ran into us – just his bad luck, hahaha," the male Withered laughed: "I heard he was crying when he tried to escape."
"What weakness, why not just stay in the village? What’s there to cry about? Hahaha," the female Withered laughed.
Suddenly, the male Withered looked up in astonishment, and the female Withered also hurriedly turned to look.
And they saw a figure appear on the waist of Snow Mountain. He was carrying a long spear, and the oil lamp tied to the spearhead was so dazzling and conspicuous in the pitch-black night.
It was indeed Li Yelai, who they had chased into Snow Mountain!
"He... he’s still alive!" the female Withered exclaimed with joy, immediately shouting in the Void Realm, attracting several Withered patrolling at the foot of Snow Mountain to quickly come over.
They were overjoyed at the gift that had come their way. Although she was immortal, it was hard for her to grow. If she could obtain a piece of Spiritual Ability Equipment, it would be a massive increase in her combat capability.
But the male Withered suddenly turned pale, feeling an unprecedented fear.
The killing intent spreading in the air was so strong and pure!
How could it be? The Withered were parts of the Divine Tree; as long as the Divine Tree lived, they were immortal. Why would they feel danger?
They had no chance to react.
At the same time they saw Li Yelai, Li Yelai saw them too.
Without any hesitation, Li Yelai activated his Face, Wolf Vanquisher of Juxu, Huo Qubing!
Shadow Army, Swift as the Wind!
Shadow Army, Move like a thunderbolt!
In an instant, he charged forward, a wave of Heavy Cavalry appeared, transforming into a torrent of steel!
Cutting a noticeable line of snow on Snow Mountain.
Not just that, to the horror of the Withered watching, this terrifying Snow Mountain... started to experience a massive avalanche!
The horrific avalanche roared down like a tsunami, following the stream of steel, seemingly ready to devour everything.
Li Yelai arrived with a Catastrophe!
The Demon Lord descends from the mountain; Killing Star has arrived!
