"You have mastered the Sin Cutter of Shura."
Zhao looked at the space that Su Ping had broken and said, "But you are still at the primary level. You need more practice. Also, the energy in your body was a bit strange. I think I sensed the energy of a god."
Su Ping didn't deny it. Zhao must have sensed the energy of the Shura king blood when the Solar Bulwark absorbed it.
"Thank you." Su Ping cupped his hands.
Zhao shook his head and said, "The reason why I agreed to teach you swordsmanship is that other than the dead spirits, there hasn't been any other living beings in this place for a long time. Your appearance is strange. Now that I have taught you the swordsmanship, I hope you can keep your promise."
Su Ping nodded and said, "I will try my best to find that goddess for you."
Zhao looked at him and nodded after a while. He thought of something and turned his hand over. A sword case appeared in his hand.
"Since you have mastered the swordsmanship, I will give you a sword. This is the sword of a Shura noble. I have one myself. I don't practice dual swords, so you can have it." Zhao said and threw the sword case to Su Ping.
Su Ping was a bit surprised and hurried to catch the sword case.
It was heavy in his hand, as heavy as a piece of cold iron. The sword case was cold as if it had been fished out of ice.
Su Ping quickly caught it and opened the case.
There was a slender, dark sword lying inside. The back of the sword was slightly curved. The entire body of the sword was pitch black, reflecting the cold light of the arc. There were a few scarlet gems embedded in the sword hilt, which were quite eye-catching.
Su Ping grabbed the hilt and immediately felt a suction coming from the sword. It seemed that the sword was going to grow in his hand.
It was a strange feeling.
Su Ping was a bit surprised, but he didn't let go of the sword. He wasn't afraid of death in this place.
Taking out the sword, Su Ping channeled his power into it. Immediately, the snow-white bandage on the blade seemed to have awakened and wrapped around his hand. It gradually turned red and tightened, allowing him to hold the sword very tightly. He couldn't shake it off even if he wanted to.
In addition, Su Ping felt a cold and evil aura enter his body through his palm. It seemed to be searching for the energy in his body and wanting to devour it.
Su Ping tried to transmit a portion of his energy, but it was immediately engulfed by this evil aura. The next moment, Su Ping saw a dense black light appear on the blade in his palm. Around this black light, space automatically split apart.
Just the appearance of energy and the unsheathing of the sword had caused space to crack!
Su Ping was a little surprised, this was definitely a very strong divine sword, it might even be a Starry Sky level artifact!
"Are you really giving it to me?" Su Ping looked at Dusk.
All of a sudden, Su Ping felt flattered by such a precious sword. After all, he had only known Dusk for about ten days and they weren't that close. Besides, Dusk had taught him swordsmanship. Even Su Ping felt that Dusk had been too kind to him.
"With this sword, you can pose a threat to Ghost Generals. Together with your pets, you can even kill Ghost Generals. You won't be able to do anything unless you run into a Star Rank being. Anyways, at the very least, this sword can make sure that you have a first-rate combat strength below the Star Rank."
Dusk explained.
Su Ping gazed at him.
"Remember our deal." Dusk gazed into Su Ping's eyes.
Su Ping understood. "I will."
…
…
Over the next ten days, Su Ping continued to cultivate in the Ashura City under Dusk's guidance and familiarized himself with swordsmanship.
His swordsmanship was improving rapidly. During the ten days, he had more time to train his pets. While he was cultivating, he had trained the four battle pets of the customer. All of them had finished their professional training and their combat strength was over 10.
The best of them had a combat strength of 15, which was comparable to a beast king at the Ocean State!
After he returned, Su Ping found the other pets of the demon family and continued to cultivate in the Ashura City.
Time flew.
When the second batch of pets of the demon family finished their training, Su Ping knew that he would have to say goodbye to the Ashura City for the time being.
He went to the Slaughter Stage and said goodbye to Dusk.
Dusk could tell that Su Ping was really leaving and he didn't feel sad about it. On the contrary, he hoped that Su Ping would finish his cultivation as soon as possible so that he could fulfill his promise.
The farewell was brief. Dusk watched as Su Ping left.
When Su Ping disappeared into the swirl again, Dusk looked away with sadness in his eyes. He murmured to himself, "The Life Promise. I wish you were still alive. I wish … you could find this place."
He reached out his hand. His skin was pale and there were cracks on it.
"The lifespan of the Ashura City is not infinite …"
"Is the fate that my father talked about … real?"
Dusk's murmuring stopped. The stage fell into a long period of silence. The entire Ashura City was quiet again. Once again, the air was still and lifeless.
…
…
Back at the store, Su Ping canceled the contracts with the pets of the demon family. Then, he picked out the Long Chong and started to train them.
This time, he didn't go to the Realm of Purple-blood Dragons. Instead, he went to another realm.
After all, he was there to train the pets, not to fight. If the old dragon sensed his presence in the Realm of Purple-blood Dragons, it would definitely send out Fate State battle pet warriors to hunt him down. Then, he wouldn't be able to train the pets.
Besides, he did say that the next time he went to the Realm of Purple-blood Dragons, he would have the Inferno Dragon suppress the purple-blood dragons. That was not the time yet.
Su Ping went to another middle-rank realm and continued his training journey.
…
…
While Su Ping was training his pets day and night in the Pixie Pet Store, on the other hand, the Hancheng Base City was in flames.
Outside the Hancheng Base, some wind power fields, pioneering bases, and other facilities had been destroyed and submerged. Demon beasts were everywhere, like a vast ocean.
On the high walls of the four bases of Hancheng, blood stained the high walls, like blood ink spilled by a brush, and countless corpses were piled up under the walls.
Emergency calls were coming from all over the Hancheng Base City.
"Help from the north! Help from the north!"
"There are sixteen ninth-rank wild beasts in the north. They are leading the charge. We can't hold them off for much longer!"
"Emergency from the east! Help from the east!"
"Beast kings from the east! Beast kings!!"
"There are two beast kings on the east side. Help! Help!"
"Why aren't there any reinforcements? Has the Hancheng Base City been abandoned?"
Emergency telegrams were being sent to the command center of the Hancheng Base City. Some of them sounded anxious and desperate.
Outside the base city, wild beasts were everywhere. The base city was on the verge of collapse. Inside the base city, however, there were no more battle pet warriors joining the front line. The defense force was getting weaker and weaker.
Despair!
Especially in the east. When the two Beast Kings appeared in the crowd of wild beasts, the generals guarding the city and the Xuan family, who were guarding the east side of the city, were all in despair.
They didn't find any beast kings among the wild beasts!
The two beast kings had been hiding among the wild beasts!
They didn't receive any news that a legendary battle pet warrior had arrived!
If a legendary battle pet warrior had arrived, the news would have been kept under wraps. After all, the news would have been able to boost morale. It would have been good enough that the news wasn't made up.
However, there was no news of a legendary battle pet warrior. The fact that they had seen beast kings with their own eyes cast a shadow over the hearts and minds of many soldiers, including the generals.
The Hancheng Base City was only a Class B base city; they didn't have the equipment or the combat strength to fight against beast kings. Many powerful battle pet warriors had arrived, including some titled battle pet warriors.
Even so, none of that was enough to deal with beast kings!
Back in the HQ, the entire HQ fell into silence when they heard about the beast king from the east. All the people who were busy dealing with the beast king stopped what they were doing and stood there in a daze.
Beast kings?
Everyone looked at each other. They could see the despair and frustration in each other's eyes.
Why?
Why?!
They had been working so hard and risking their lives. Why did this still happen?
The Hancheng Base City was doomed!
Some people looked at the commander-in-chief, the mayor of the Hancheng Base City.
The mayor's face was pale. His hands were trembling as he held a document. He knew that the report couldn't be wrong. He also knew that the Tower didn't send any reinforcements. The reason given was that the Tower was also in an emergency and no legendary battle pet warriors were available to help.
The mayor's head was buzzing. He couldn't even see straight.
Since the Cold City was facing the beast tide nearly a week ago, he had been running around, asking for help everywhere. He had asked all the people he could ask for help one by one. He had hardly closed his eyes during this period. At this moment, when he heard such bad news, he felt like his vision was going black and he was about to faint.
Bang.
His body slumped to the ground, and his eyes were filled with sorrow.
But soon, he remembered something. The sadness disappeared and a glint of determination rose in his eyes. He stood up and shouted, "Send all the reserve forces and resources to the east. Reinforce the east side! Also, send soldiers from the Reserve Camp to evacuate the old, weak, women, and cowards from the south side! "
"If the beast kings are going to attack from the east, then we'll do it there. Fight them!"
When the others heard his words, their expressions changed.
One of them suddenly said with sorrow, "Sir, there are no reserve forces left to reinforce the front line. The only ones left are the new recruits from the Reserve Camp."
Another one added, "If we evacuate, the wild beasts have destroyed the tunnels. We will have to reopen them, but we might run into more wild beasts. Sir, do we really have to evacuate?"
That was the reason why they didn't evacuate the base city.
The mayor's face paled. All the reserve forces were gone? So, the Hancheng Base City was at the end of its rope?
Seeing the City Lord's aged face, as if all of his energy had been sucked away in an instant, everyone revealed a sorrowful expression. However, at this moment, a piece of information suddenly came.
"Urgent report from the east! Urgent report from the east! "
"A third beast king has appeared behind the wild beasts. It seems to be going after the other two beast kings. They are fighting!"
"That, that's a beast king!"
"Someone, someone is on top of that beast king. It's reinforcements!!"
That voice was filled with excitement. He was crying tears of joy. That was the joy of going from hell to heaven.
