The world was silent, and only the waters of Lake Kanas were churning.
Hovering in the air, Three Blades Lin stared at Jiang He, who was standing over the Red Toad King's head. His expression stiffened, his heart pounding as if the seas were overturning!
In the distance, Chen Jingzhou and the others were utterly stunned.
The Red Toad King …
Was dead!
Jiang He had killed it!
An early-stage Rank-9 martial artist had successfully killed a top-tier King Direbeast. This was simply unbelievable. They had never seen or heard of something like this before … Of course, if someone had said that an early-stage Rank-9 martial artist could kill a top-tier King Direbeast in the past, they would have been treated as an idiot.
It was simply impossible, and yet Jiang He had done it.
In fact, it was not just Three Blades Lin and the others — even Jiang He was a little confused …
His entire body bathed in blood, he maintained the special effect of a rising sun, a dragon's roar, and an elephant's trumpeting, even as a thought flashed through his mind.
"Isn't that a little too easy?"
"Even I'm not used to it. I was ready for a bloody battle, ready to fight it for up to fifty minutes and have a taste of the moves of a Feral King!"
"At that time, the Black Flood Dragon King had just advanced to the King tier and had yet to completely transform. It had yet to grasp the skills of a King tier Direbeast. In the end, when I reached the Red Toad King's side, it swallowed me into its stomach and didn't even give me a chance to fight. After two rounds of bombardment, it was already half dead.
Were Feral Kings that weak?
Their outer appearance was so tough that missiles could not harm them, but their abdomens were so fragile?
His cultivation technique was still the best. Under the effects of the Invincible Vajra Divine Art, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, and the Nine Heavenly Stars Body Tempering Art, his strength came from the inside out. Stuffing a dozen pea bombs into his stomach would only make a sound at most. It was impossible for them to hurt him.
Of course …
After all, Jiang He had never eaten a bomb before and had no experience in that regard. Moreover, the System had labeled pea bombs inedible, and if they blew up in his stomach, constipation or diarrhea would be unbearable even if it did not hurt him.
Nearby, Three Blades Lin was flying toward him.
He stared at Jiang He for a long while, before turning and landing on the shore without a word.
What the heck?
Jiang He was rather confused. Was Old Lin sick in the head?
I didn't do anything to you. What's with that resentful look in your eyes?
Putting the Red Toad King's corpse into his System Backpack with a wave of his hand, Jiang He walked over the water and landed beside the lake as well.
Not far away, Chen Jingzhou and the others flew over.
None of them said a word and simply stared straight at Jiang He, having yet to recover from their shock.
"Jiang He, you've cut down two Feral Kings in a week. I'm afraid … there's going to be trouble."
That was when Three Blades Lin suddenly sighed and turned toward Jiang He, saying, "Though the Ferals appear to be a clump of loose sand, the Feral Kings are actually in contact with each other. We humans would have taken them down one by one otherwise."
"Previously, when the Black Flood Dragon King died, the group of Vicious Beast Kings all came to Jiangnan City to denounce the Red Toad King. Now that the Red Toad King is dead, I'm afraid the Vicious Beast Emperors will come out of their mountains."
"What?"
Jiang He frowned and said, "It's just a toad. So what if it's killed? What kind of trouble could it cause?"
"I've heard about the agreement or whatnot, that those above rank-nine are not allowed to simply start a war … and those above rank-nine are not allowed to slaughter the weak. But the agreement did not say that rank-nines are not allowed to kill Feral Kings, did it?"
Three Blades Lin's gaze twitched.
That seemed to be the case.
The original agreement only restricted Feral Kings and elites above rank-nine, but it did not say that rank-nines were not allowed to kill Feral Kings … after all, no one would have thought that rank-nines could be so heaven-defying.
When the time comes, Wang Hou and the Feral Emperors could just talk nonsense.
If you Ferals are so capable, why don't you send a few rank-nine Ferals to kill us humans? If you can really kill them, the elites of the human race wouldn't even let out a fart … I'm sure those beasts would have a very interesting look on their faces.
That thought crossed his mind, but he did not show it on his face.
Three Blades Lin was prepared to give Jiang He a good knock on the head, or there was no telling when the kid would start something big again. "Be that as it may," he said with a straight face.
"You've already killed the Black King Drake and the Red Toad King, which means that you're already divine-tier. I'm afraid that the Feral Kings would not allow you to slaughter Ferals below Feral King tier."
From Three Blades Lin's perspective, if the Red Toad King had not underestimated Jiang He and swallowed him, Jiang He would not have been able to kill it.
Still, Jiang He's face twitched at those words and he quickly said, "I'm not divine-tier. Do I have to abide by that decision?"
Three Blades Lin shot Jiang He a look.
Don't you have any idea what your combat ability is?
You are definitely not divine-tier, but your combat ability is stronger than average divine-tier elites. Slaying two Feral Kings in a week is enough to draw the attention of the Ferals.
Jiang He frowned and asked, "Are you saying that the Feral Kings would gang up on me?"
"Gang up?"
Three Blades Lin thought about it and nodded. "That term might not be appropriate here, but that's the gist of it. You would naturally be treated as a divine-tier elite since you have divine-tier combat ability."
Jiang He sneered. "What nonsense. Do I have to consider the mood of a bunch of beasts just to have some meat? I wasn't the one who set that agreement anyway. So what if I don't want to abide by it? "
"If those Feral Kings really dare to target me, I'll blow up their lairs one by one."
Jiang He's words were filled with confidence now.
Feral Kings …
So what if they're Feral Kings?
If they really piss me off, I'll just gather Orirocks all over the world and gather up to fifty thousand of them. I'll just stay in my farm and farm until I'm invincible, and then I'll sweep through those so-called Feral Kings.
Three Blades Lin smiled begrudgingly and shook his head. "This matter is so important that I must report it to Minister Wang at once. Watch the time and don't delay the opening of the Tantra Secret Realm … Minister Wang had spent a lot of effort to get these slots."
With that, Three Blades Lin took to the skies and left.
That was when Chen Jingzhou and the others seemed to have only reacted to it, and all of them were chattering away incessantly.
Jiang He took out the grill rack, charcoal, and bottles of barbecue condiments, saying, "It's been a long night, everyone. Many fishes and prawns in the river are dead, so grab some and grill them. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving for a while."
Not giving Chen Jingzhou and the others a chance to ask, Jiang He promptly said, "I'll be back in four hours."
Whoosh!
Jiang He promptly cast Blind Princess's Eight Practices, and several mountain forms vanished from their sight.
Though Jiang He had been very arrogant just now and did not think much of the many Feral Kings …
But that was just for show.
After all, there were still two Feral Emperors within the Hua Nation's borders.
Feral Emperors were frightening beings that could match Void-tier elites and were two tiers above him. At the very least, he did not have the ability to kill Feral Emperors yet.
"So …"
"I have to go to Mount Tian as soon as possible!"
"Before the Feral Kings and Feral Emperors kill me, I'll have my revenge on the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle for spitting golden rays at me in the wildlands outside Jiangnan City!"
Killing intent arose in Jiang He's heart then.
Be that as it may, he suddenly slowed down as he ran.
"Lake Kanas is over six hundred kilometers away from Mount Tian. Wouldn't running all the way be a waste of time?"
"Right now, I'm a full-fledged Qi Refinist cultivator … and I have a premium-grade soul flying sword. I wonder if I could use Royal Sword Flight …"
Jiang He invoked the Scarlet Flame Sword and charged it with his mystic energy.
With a hum, the Scarlet Flame Sword expanded against the wind, turning into a massive greatsword that burned with faint scarlet flames.
Jiang He strode forward and landed on the Scarlet Flame Sword.
Whoosh!
The Scarlet Flame Sword took to the air and flew towards the horizon.
On the Scarlet Flame Sword, Jiang He was a little fearful at first and could not stand steadily, but he soon got used to the feeling of Royal Sword Flight. Clasping his hands behind his back, he stood on the blade and looked down at the river below, feeling a sense of heroism rising in his chest.
Soon.
Mount Tian, which was covered in pure white snow halfway up the mountain, appeared in Jiang He's vision.
…
Meanwhile.
Three Blades Lin dialed Wang Hou's number.
He first described what happened at Lake Kanas, and Wang Hou laughed out loud over the other end. "Good, Jiang He. I really didn't misjudge the kid."
Three Blades Lin mused to himself, "Minister Wang, Jiang He had slain two Feral Kings, the Black King Drake and the Red Toad King in a week. I'm afraid the other Feral Kings are going to cause a ruckus again."
"Hmph!"
Wang Hou snorted coldly and sinisterly said, "We'll just kill any blind beast that dares to cause a ruckus. We'll use this opportunity to slay a bunch of Feral Kings and free up some combat power."
"The Sky Demon Cult …"
"It's time to make a move on them!"
Three Blades Lin's face twitched, but Wang Hou's tone changed and he laughed over the other end of the call. "Of course, this matter needs further planning. Keep an eye on Jiang He for now, Old Lin. The kid isn't someone who knows his place, so have them hurry to Tantra. I'll have a chat with him when he returns from the Tantra Secret Realm."
"Don't worry, Minister Wang."
Three Blades Lin patted his chest and assured him, "I've been careless before. From now on, until Jiang He returns from the Tantra Secret Realm, I promise he won't cause any more trouble."
