Kaboom!
The earth quaked.
The horned boar that had been charging forward crashed to the ground, its massive corpse sliding dozens of meters before coming to a stop.
It was a corpse in the first place, controlled by Pain Star's superpower. Now that Pain Star was dead, the horned boar's corpse promptly reverted to the appearance of a real corpse.
"The corpse of a rank-eight Feral. Even if its meat has gone bad and can't be eaten, I could sell it to Mu Wanqiu for a good price."
Jiang He picked up an alloy longsword from a corner.
It was the Earthen Diction Heavenly General's weapon, forged entirely out of S-grade alloy.
"S-grade alloy longsword … I think it could sell for a few dozen million?"
Jiang He thought then, and picked up the Earthen Majesty Heavenly General's weapon as well. It was a long and thin combat blade that resembled the Tang Swords of ancient times, although it was not as curved and much thinner.
"It's also an S-grade alloy weapon, though the materials used are a lot more expensive. It would probably be cheaper than the sword, around twenty million." Jiang He quietly evaluated the price, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the scabbard of the combat blade — which was the staff — was forged out of pure S-grade alloy as well.
"The two weapons can be sold for at least a hundred million. My hard work for a night is worth it."
Jiang He found two Fiend Decrees from the two men.
One had the word 'Literary' written on it, while the other had the word 'Majesty' written on it, which basically confirmed their identities.
Earthen Diction Heavenly General, Earthen Majesty Heavenly General.
Then, he searched the fire-type Awakened whom he stabbed first, only to find a few thousand dollars in cash and one Fiend Decree, and could not help complaining.
Really …
Poor bugger!
He then touched Pain Star's corpse again, complaining as he did so, "Is this really a woman? She's flatter than I am, and she's already in her thirties, and she's still wearing some non-mainstream smokey makeup … "
"Pain Star?"
Even as he was touching the corpse, Cheng Dongfeng had led a fully-armed reinforced company from Lingzhou City and hurried towards Jinyintan Village.
The reinforced company had just arrived at the entrance of Jinyintan Village when they were shocked by the violent explosion.
Cheng Dongfeng, who was wearing his Alloy Battle Suit, jumped out of the car and looked up, only to see the flames illuminating half the sky in the night. He could not help but mutter, "He's here, he's here again … Is this kid a walking explosive?"
In his heart, he actually missed Fatty Jiang.
Pudgy Jiang was an expert in explosives. If he was here, he would be able to tell what kind of bomb it was just by listening to the sound and seeing the scene of the explosion.
At the thought of Pudgy Jiang, Cheng Dongfeng could not help but think, "Oh right, last time Pudgy Jiang said he would eat sh * t upside down if it was not fuel-air explosives. Can he really eat sh * t upside down?"
"Damn it, why am I thinking about this?"
Back in the car, Cheng Dongfeng said in a deep voice, "Full speed ahead!"
Several military trucks carrying heavily armed reinforced companies, guns, and ammunition quickly rushed to the explosion site.
A few minutes later —
"F * ck!"
One of the soldiers cried out in surprise, followed by waves of sharp intakes.
Cheng Dongfeng stepped out of the car as well, his eyes widening as he stared at the crater that was over eight hundred meters wide and four meters deep, unsure what to say just then.
One of the soldiers jogged to him and saluted, saying loudly, "Reporting, Grandmaster Cheng. We've checked. There are hundreds of corpses and Feral corpses at the scene, and they must be the ones that disappeared before."
Cheng Dongfeng's gaze twitched and he pressed, "Where's Jiang He?"
"Who's there?"
"Hold it!"
Bang, bang, bang!!!
Suddenly, one of the soldiers barked, and fired several burst shots at the distance.
"Don't shoot …"
Jiang He's voice could be heard from afar, and he barked rather angrily, "Why are you shooting your own people? You scared me! "
Under the moonlight, he walked out with the carcass of the horned boar that was almost the size of a bus over his shoulder, and then threw it softly … Boom! The carcass of the horned boar slammed into the ground, causing the earth to rumble and quake.
Jiang He spread out his left hand and put four orange-orange bullets into the gaping soldier's hand. He was about to scold him, but when he saw that the soldier's legs were shaking, he ended up clapping him on the shoulder and consoling him, "Don't panic. It's just a bigger boar, and it couldn't be deader."
The soldier became even more nervous at his words.
All Jiang He could do was tease him. "You're quite a good shot, aren't you? Every shot was aimed at my head, and if I wasn't quick enough to catch the bullets, I might have been disfigured by you."
The soldier: "…"
"Are you alright, Jiang He?"
Cheng Dongfeng strode up to him and looked him up and down, only breathing a sigh of relief when he found that Jiang He was fine.
He then turned to look at the carcass of the horned boar with a look of surprise.
"Is that …"
"A rank-eight Feral?"
Even if the horned boar was already a corpse, Cheng Dongfeng could still feel a faint pressure from it. If that was the case even for a rank-seven grandmaster, what about the soldiers?
That was why the soldier was so nervous just now.
Even if a rank-eight Feral was dead, its aura would strike fear in the heart.
Cheng Dongfeng withdrew his gaze after a long while, offering Jiang He a fist-palm salute and bowing, saying seriously, "Master Jiang, as a rank-five, you've turned the tables on the Tranquil Heavenly General, the Earth Demon Heavenly General, Pain Star, and now a rank-eight Feral. I, Old Cheng, am convinced!"
Jiang He was a little embarrassed by the compliment, and quickly waved him off. "You flatter me, Grandmaster Cheng. I didn't kill the rank-eight horned boar, and I'm already rank-six!"
"Eh?"
Cheng Dongfeng did a double take and exclaimed in surprise, "You didn't kill it?"
"Yeah."
Jiang He answered truthfully, "The rank-eight horned boar had died a long time ago, but like the zombies and Killer Star, it was controlled by Pain Star … I didn't kill it."
"Pain Star?"
Seeing the look of surprise on Cheng Dongfeng's face, Jiang He fished out a token plate from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "That's right, it's Pain Star … Eh? I got the wrong one, this is Earthen Majesty's … "
He took out the four token plates he had just harvested, spreading his hands and picking them up. "This is Earthen Savage's, and this is Earthen Diction's … Look, this is a Decan Token, with the word 'Decan' written on the back and 'Pain' on the front. It should represent Pain Star, right?"
Cheng Dongfeng's eyelids twitched. Though he had a hunch, he could not help asking, "Where did you get these token plates?"
… …
At the same time.
Almost 200 kilometers away from Lingzhou City.
Chen Jingzhou, dressed in his military uniform and wielding an alloy longsword, was forcing the Sixth Elder and the three Grands of the Sky Demon Cult to retreat.
He was not in the mood to fight, but every time he pulled back, he would be surrounded and attacked again.
His enemies would flee the moment he unleashed his killing move.
Sweat appeared over Chen Jingzhou's forehead and he clenched his teeth. "It's been so long. Lingzhou City couldn't have fallen, could it?"
His aura abruptly expanded, and the Sword Will of the alloy longsword in his hand overflowed as he parried several opponents with a single swing. But just as he was about to ignite his True Qi to unleash his killing move, the Sixth Elder laughed out loud and retreated.
In the blink of an eye, all of them were gone, leaving a burst of smug laughter echoing over the night skies. "I've underestimated you, Chen Jingzhou. Still, half an hour is more than enough. By the looks of it, Lingzhou City should have fallen by now!"
"Damn it!"
Chen Jingzhou cursed inwardly, but he did not give chase, and instead sprinted wildly towards Lingzhou City.
He was a rank-nine martial artist, and even if he was not adept at speed, his burst speed neared the speed of sound.
… …
Atop the mountain.
One of the Sky Demon Cult's Grands frowned as he watched Chen Jingzhou's back. "Sixth Elder, are you letting Chen Jingzhou get away just like that? If we keep him … "
Blargh!
Even before he finished, the blade-wielding middle-aged Sixth Elder coughed out a mouthful of blood.
"Sixth Elder!"
"Six …"
The Sixth Elder waved his hand and gritted his teeth, "It's fine. My meridians were injured by Chen Jingzhou's sword intent. However, I can use this sword intent to temper my Martial Will. With this as an opportunity, I might be able to comprehend saber intent."
His tone then changed as he smiled in delight. "Even if I couldn't kill Chen Jingzhou, it's enough. Pain Star has probably taken Lingzhou City, and that's a great achievement!"
