Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 197 You All Must Die!

"We lost, we've lost..."

The Southern War King's face was a picture of defeat.

The Northern War King covered his face with his hands, roaring in disbelief, "Who can tell me where these beast cavalry came from? A million beast cavalry, even the Great Jin Kingdom doesn't possess such forces, what on earth is going on..."

A million beast cavalry!

That was a massive killing machine!

Even with powerful Beast Tamers, Great Jin Kingdom had taken over a hundred years to form a beast cavalry of just a hundred thousand.

And Tianqing Kingdom had directly produced a million?

A million beast rampaging was something an ordinary soldier simply couldn't stop!

You must understand...

These common soldiers were merely at the Physical Body Realm, reaching the Divine Skills Realm meant becoming a captain of a hundred, to the middle phase of Divine Skills Realm they became a captain of a thousand, and late phase or peak meant becoming a captain of ten thousand.

The Golden Core Realm were the generals, and the Tao Tribulation Realm were army commanders, even commanders-in-chief of three armies.

But within an army of a million.

The Golden Core Realm comprised just one in ten thousand.

The Tao Tribulation Realm was even scarcer: one in several hundred thousand.

The vast majority were still in the Divine Skills Realm and Physical Body Realm, such strong individuals faced with rampaging beasts were simply being crushed.

Just now, with a charge from the million beast cavalry, they had trampled tens of thousands, even up to a hundred and fifty thousand.

It was a completely one-sided crushing.

Annihilation!

"General Qin, what should we do now?" the Southern War King asked, his gaze fixed on Qin Yu, who remained silent.

Qin Yu sat atop his mount, watching as the million-strong army dwindled to barely two hundred thousand, yet his face showed no expression.

He was still utterly detached.

Qin Yu's eyes fixed on those two hundred thousand soldiers, he said coldly, "Charge for me, anyone who retreats dies!"

"What?"

"That's a million beast cavalry you're sending them to confront, are you not sending them to their deaths?" yelled the Southern War King in anger.

However...

Qin Yu sneered coldly, "Indeed, I am sending them to their deaths!"

"Huh?"

The Northern War King was stunned.

Qin Yu said chillingly, "We've already lost this battle. Whether it's twenty thousand left or none makes no difference. To win this battle, we need only to slay all the higher-ups of Tianqing Kingdom. My Blood Demon Battle Body is about to achieve great success; by absorbing the Qi-Blood of these two hundred thousand, I will be able to reach the Nine-fold layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm. Then, who in Tianqing Kingdom can stand against me?"

"You – you mean to use these two hundred thousand warriors as a sacrifice for your cultivation?" The Southern War King shuddered, speaking with teeth chattering. Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire

The Northern War King glared furiously at Qin Yu, "Madman, you're a madman... they are the children of the Great Jin Kingdom..."

Splat!

Before the Northern War King could finish his sentence, he was suddenly grasped by the head in Qin Yu's claw.

The fingers crushed the crown of the Northern War King's skull.

The fingers dug deep into the head.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle!

The streams of Qi-Blood were sucked out frantically, absorbed into Qin Yu's body, his form flickering with a crimson glow. Tossing aside the Northern War King's corpse, now like a dried husk, Qin Yu licked his scarlet tongue across his lips, his fierce gaze turned towards the Southern War King, "Do you also plan to stop me?"

Hiss!

The Southern War King drew a sharp breath, his eyes wide with fear looking at Qin Yu.

He had never imagined Qin Yu would be so deranged.

To devour even the Northern War King without a second thought.

Gulp!

The Southern War King swallowed hard and hastily said, "General Qin jests, how could I dare to obstruct you?"

Clang!

South War King drew his battle saber, pointing the blade forward as he roared, "Men, follow me into battle and slay the enemy!"

Yet the two hundred thousand men looked at each other in dismay, not daring to move an inch.

There were only two hundred thousand wounded soldiers left on their side, while facing them was an army of a million monster cavalrymen. How could they possibly fight this?

Splat!

The South War King's saber gleamed as it swept across, slicing several retreating soldiers in two as he bellowed, "Any who retreat—shall be shown no mercy!"

Under the threat of death,

The two hundred thousand could only grit their teeth and charge forward.

Yu Huaxian sneered repeatedly, "Kill them all!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The million-strong army of monster beasts rushed forward uncontrollably.

In an instant,

The two hundred thousand were ruthlessly slaughtered to the last man, leaving only a scattered few thousand kneeling and begging for mercy, or fleeing in all directions.

Even the South War King himself soared into the sky, fleeing to the distant horizon.

He dared not provoke Qin Yu, but he was also unwilling to lose his life here.

"Qin Yu, I will make everything clear to His Majesty. You dared to kill the Northern War King and led to the annihilation of a million-strong army of Great Jin Kingdom, turning them into nourishment for your cultivation. His Majesty will never let you off!" The South War King's voice thundered like rolling thunder, but his figure had already retreated into the high sky, disappearing into the clouds.

Qin Yu looked up towards his departing direction and sneered, "It's just killing one from Tao Tribulation Realm, losing a million-strong army. Once I kill off all these rabble from Tianqing Kingdom and step into Dharma Manifestation Realm, I will even contend for the throne of the Jin Emperor. Why fear his punishment?"

Boom!

Qin Yu soared into the sky.

With arms wide open, the blood light around him surged violently, "Blood Demon Body, melt the qi-blood, devour!"

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a bloody wind whipped through the heavens and earth.

In the bloody storm, the qi-blood within the corpses on the battlefield was forcibly extracted, turning each and every body into a dried husk. The qi-blood that flowed on the ground and that which dispersed in the air gathered into streams of scarlet ribbons, rushing into Qin Yu's body.

The qi-blood of this million-strong army was far more than that of slaughtering tens of millions of ordinary people.

An endless amount of qi-blood coalesced around Qin Yu into a blood cocoon.

This blood cocoon was bleak and terrifying, with an icy chill that caused the million monster beasts to hesitate, emitting sounds of intense disquiet and low growls.

Yu Huaxian's face suddenly changed, "Not good, Qin Yu is devouring qi-blood. His Blood Demon Battle Body is about to be fully realized..."

Gu Junhe tightened the reins, pacing back and forth atop his steed, "What a Qin Yu... I knew that with his title as a god of war, the battle wouldn't have been this easy even with our forces holding absolute advantage. All of this was his overt scheme. Whether we lost or they did, he could devour an enormous amount of qi-blood power."

"Madman, this guy is simply insane..."

"We absolutely cannot let him devour enough qi-blood power, or else we will stand no chance against him!"

Jiang Weisheng, Xue Bufan, and the others also spoke with heavy expressions.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Several figures soared into the sky.

Yu Huaxian flung his sleeves, releasing a downpour of silver needles.

Gu Junhe's saber cleaved through the air, its light like the moon, slant-slicing through the firmament.

Jiang Weisheng's spear shone like a rainbow, piercing the heavens.

Xue Bufan's staff hammered down, transforming into a massive mountain of vital energy, ruthlessly smashing downward...

On the ground below, archers collectively released a torrent of arrows.

Countless attacks darkened the sky, filling it as they enveloped Qin Yu's blood cocoon.

However...

Just as those attacks were mere meters away from the blood cocoon, the blood light around it suddenly expanded a hundredfold, forcefully stalling the overwhelming onslaught in its tracks.

Followed by hissing sounds,

All of the attacks, along with the arrows, were corroded by the blood light, turning into a sky full of black smoke.

Crack!

A palm suddenly burst forth from within the blood cocoon, followed by another, pushing violently outward to either side. Qin Yu, cloaked in a radiant red glow, stood tall in the void with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. His eyes, filled with blood threads, were brimming with an overwhelming desire to kill, sending shivers down the spine. He uttered the chilling and sinister words, "You all, must die!"
