"Hahaha, there are so many corpses. We can use them to refine Iron Corpses. I never expected these people from Myriad God Planet to be sent here by the spatial turbulence. It saves us the trouble of capturing them from Myriad God Planet. Senior Brother Wu, be careful. Don't let these corpses be washed away.
Upstream, the massacre had already ended.
Along the cobblestoned riverbank that stretched for more than five hundred meters, more than two hundred corpses were strewn across the riverbank. Most of the corpses were floating in the river. They were people who had attempted to cross the river to escape, but had been killed in the river.
There was a thick ice dam in the river. If a Summoner were here, they would be able to tell at a glance that the ice dam was the work of a Summoner. There were holes in the middle of the ice dam, and a few nets were placed in the gaps of the ice dam. The corpses that would have been washed downstream were caught in the nets. They lay lifelessly in the water like dead fish, allowing the water to erode them. The painful and horrified expressions were still on their faces. The blood on their bodies had already dried, dyeing the water red.
Near a forest by the riverbank, there were some simple wooden huts built with wood. The wooden huts were primitive and crude, as though they were the residences of the people on the riverbank and in the river. However, at that moment, the wooden huts had already collapsed and were reduced to ruins. A summoned giant, dozens of wild wolves, and more than a hundred summoned archers and saber operators were coldly searching through the gaps in the rocks and bushes nearby, hoping not to miss a single one.
These summoned combat soldiers were dragging corpses to the riverbank and placing them neatly.
A young man, whose face looked like it was smeared with lime and whose eyes had a hint of peach blossom color, was standing beside the corpses that had been placed neatly by the combat soldiers. He casually grabbed the corpse of a woman in her forties with half her neck severed. He took out a black pill from his hand and stuffed it into the corpse's mouth.
It was unknown what the pill was made of, but the moment it entered the corpse's mouth, the corpse's pale face instantly turned pitch-black. Her skin revealed a metallic luster as the wound on her neck gradually closed. Her body stiffened and she instantly stood up straight, motionless with her eyes closed. Then, the man with the peach blossom color at the corners of his eyes casually waved his hand and stored the blackened corpse into his interspatial equipment.
Following that, the man picked up another corpse and fed it a black pill. After the corpse changed color and stiffened, he stored the corpse into his interspatial equipment.
Living people could not be stored into interspatial equipment, but corpses and lifeless puppets could be stored.
From the man's skillful actions, it did not seem like it was the first time he had done such a thing.
There was another man, whose face also looked like it was smeared with lime, but his face was thin and he had a goatee. He also summoned a giant and had that giant pull the net in the river, pulling the corpses to the riverbank.
"I didn't expect that we would be able to replenish these corpses in the Godslaying Bug World this time …" the man by the riverbank said with a smile. His expression was like a fisherman fishing in the river. He did not feel that there was anything wrong with the corpses soaking miserably in the water.
Both of them were wearing black robes and had a sinister aura around them as if they had crawled out of a grave.
"Don't the two of you think it is a little too much to kill the innocent here?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from the sky.
"Who is it?"
The two people by the riverbank reacted extremely quickly. Almost as soon as they heard this voice, the two of them had already soared into the sky and stood in front of Xia Pingan.
At this moment, Xia Pingan looked like an immortal who had attained the Dao. However, the aura on his body was still at the Six-Sun Realm. In the Godslaying Bug World, it did not have much of a deterrent force.
"Who are you?" The skinny man with a goatee glanced at Xia Pingan with his triangular eyes, then at the sky around him. He found that Xia Pingan was the only one standing there, and his aura was not very strong. The light in his triangular eyes became strange.
"I'm just a passerby. I saw the blood in the river in the mountain ridge and the suffering of the people, so I came to take a look …" Xia Pingan said calmly. Then, he glanced at the corpses on the riverbank and shook his head in pity. His tone was low and his gaze darkened. "We are all humans. Why do the two of you have to kill your own kind? Those people are ordinary people who can't fight back. Even the insect race and wild beasts would not kill their own kind like this!"
"Hahaha, our Divine Tomb Sect doesn't need an outsider like you to meddle in our affairs. Who do you think you are? How dare you meddle in our affairs …" The young man with the peach blossom eyes sneered at Xia Pingan. His tone was extremely arrogant. He did not take Xia Pingan, who looked like a Six-Sun Realm, seriously at all. "This is the Godslaying Bug World. Isn't it natural for the strong to prey on the weak? Those people are just lowly citizens of Myriad God Planet. They were swept here by the spatial turbulence and are struggling at death's door. Even if I don't take their lives, they won't live for more than a few days here. It's their fortune that they died for our Divine Tomb Sect and were chosen by me to be used by me …"
Divine Tomb Sect? Xia Pingan had never heard of it before. However, from the looks of the two people in front of him, who had lifeless bodies and were as pale as geisha, he knew that they were not good people.
"Why don't the two of you do me a favor and let me appease the souls of these dead people?" Xia Pingan said with a benevolent expression as he took a step back.
The two people looked at each other and exchanged a strange look.
"Oh, you know how to appease souls? Why don't you summon the Soul Pacifying Banner for us to see …" The man with the thin face and the goatee quietly approached Xia Pingan as he spoke. The other person also approached Xia Pingan.
"What do you want?" Xia Pingan seemed to realize that something was wrong. His expression changed as he hurriedly retreated.
"Reckless fool, do you still think you can leave now? You delivered yourself to me. Let me see what you have on you. How dare you come here to die …" The young man with the peach blossom eyes sneered disdainfully. Then, he suddenly charged at Xia Pingan. With a wave of his hand, an icicle shrouded in black mist shot toward Xia Pingan.
When he made his move, the other man with the goatee also made his move. That person waved his hand and a fire snake flew out from his hand, sweeping toward Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan abruptly retreated, but his figure had already quietly changed direction as he retreated. He, who was originally sandwiched between the two, flew to the left and immediately approached the young man with a hint of peach blossom color in the corner of his eyes.
The young man with a hint of peach blossom in the corner of his eyes immediately rushed towards Xia Pingan. The man with a goatee who was originally on the right wanted to chase after him, but the three of them moved at the same time and instantly became a straight line in the air.
The two people had sinister smiles on their faces, thinking that victory was already in their hands.
But in the next second, Xia Pingan showed a disdainful smile and coldly spat out three words — — "Emperor's Sword!"
A tall and majestic figure wearing an emperor's crown suddenly appeared in front of Xia Pingan. He looked at the two people who were chasing after him with a dignified gaze as if he was looking at ants. He pulled out a long sword from his waist and slashed out.
The Emperor's Sword swept through the air, carrying the energy of the surrounding mountains and rivers. Its power was great and strong, like the might of the heavens.
The moment the sword was unsheathed, the fire snakes, ice cones, and black fog that were rushing toward Xia Pingan instantly dissipated like snow under the sun. Then, in less than a thousandth of a second, the sword light traversed hundreds of meters and pierced through the young man with the peach blossom eyes like a guillotine cutting through a piece of paper. Under the man's astonished gaze, the man's figure evaporated in the sword light. The sword did not stop and continued to slash at the man with the goatee behind him.
When the man with the goatee saw Xia Pingan summon the Emperor, his expression changed drastically. He instantly summoned an ice shield and wanted to escape, but his speed was not as fast as the Emperor's Sword. Almost as soon as the thought came to his mind, the ice shield was summoned, and he wanted to move, but the Emperor's Sword's sword light had already slashed in front of him, turning the ice shield and his body into ashes in the sword light...
