(Congratulations to Sofia Ruobing for becoming the new leader of this book. Thank you.)
His son, the heir of the Xue Family, Xue Pan, was dead!
One could imagine what kind of inhuman torture he had suffered before he died.
His 30,000-strong coalition army was also annihilated?
What exactly happened?
Naval battles were complicated. No matter how powerful the Nirvana Army was on land, they might not be a match for the Xue Family's fleet at sea.
How much time had passed?
The 30,000-strong coalition army with 200 warships was annihilated?
Xue Che couldn't believe it.
There was a letter in the box.
It was written: To Xue Che.
It was obviously written in Shen Lang's handwriting.
Xue Che was a poison expert. He checked the letter.
Then, he put on his gloves and took out the letter.
"Xue Che, Count, I'm here to beat you. The tsunami destroyed your family's fleet, and they all died. Crown Prince Xue Pan was betrayed and sent to me. After I castrated him, I conveniently executed him by a thousand cuts. His death wasn't peaceful at all.
Now I'm here to beat you. Uncle Xue Che, you don't know how much I miss you. "
This was Shen Lang's handwritten letter. Xue Che had never seen such lousy writing. It was worse than a schoolboy in his enlightenment period.
The writer seemed to be afraid that others were illiterate.
Xue Che sat there quietly without moving.
… …
The news became more and more certain.
A huge tsunami broke out in the sea around Happy Island. Countless debris floated with the flag and logo of the Xue Family's fleet.
There were also countless corpses that had been washed up on Happy Island, piling up like a mountain.
It was confirmed.
Yan Nanfei's 30,000-strong coalition army was completely annihilated.
However, that was not the only bad news.
Following that, bad news came one after another.
The sea route south of Nanzhou Island was attacked by Shen Lang crazily.
Almost all of the Xue Family's patrol ships were destroyed.
There were also all kinds of merchant ships. More than a hundred of them were buried in the sea.
It was a terrible news!
It was like a bolt of lightning striking down.
It shook everyone in the Xue Family.
How was this possible?
Our Xue Clan had such a powerful fleet, and it suddenly disappeared?
Countless of our merchant ships are gone too?
Our hundreds of years of wealth were all gone?
… …
Xue Che sat quietly in front of the table once more.
In front of him was the head of his son, Xue Pan, and beside it was a plate of blood.
He had extracted this from Xue Pan's head.
He dipped the carving knife in the blood and began to carve the scripture.
Every word seemed to be filled with the aura of Buddha.
Of course, this was only on the surface. If one looked closely, they would find that every word was filled with a terrifying aura of death.
It was like a painting of a beautiful woman made up of countless skeletons. It was mesmerizing from afar, but terrifying up close.
"Pfft …"
Xue Che almost vomited a mouthful of blood, but he held it in. Instead of directly spitting it onto the scripture, he spat it into a jar.
Then he used his own blood to carve the scripture.
In short, he couldn't let his blood go to waste.
Word by word.
After several days and nights, Xue Che carved tens of thousands of characters.
Then he closed the scripture, walked to the door and opened it.
Outside, dozens of eyes were staring at him.
Xue Che's face was expressionless as he said indifferently, "What are you standing there for? Why do all of you look as if you have lost your parents? "
"Xue Ding, come out."
A young man in his thirties walked out. He was extremely tall, with deep eye sockets and a hooked nose.
"Xue Ding, you've learned some things in these years on Stupa Mountain. What's the most important?" Xue Che asked.
The young man said, "Poison!"
Xue Che said, "The Book of Poison, or Heart Poison?"
The young man said, "Heart Poison!"
Xue Che nodded, "You've always been more outstanding than Xue Pan, but he was the son of the first wife. Now that he's dead, you shall become the successor of my Xue Clan."
"Yes!" Xue Ding bowed and said, "Thank you, Father."
Xue Che said, "What you've heard is correct. My Xue Clan's fleet was indeed annihilated by the tsunami. Shen Lang's fleet launched a sneak attack on our patrolling fleet and merchant ships. The losses were extremely huge, and the power that the Xue Clan had accumulated for decades was destroyed. "
When the hundreds of people of the Xue Clan heard this, their faces suddenly trembled.
Earlier, they still held a little bit of hope, but now it was finally confirmed by the Patriarch.
"But so what?" Xue Che said, "More than a hundred years ago, our Xue Clan was almost annihilated, and there were only three or four people left. It was Count Jinzhou who saved our ancestors and founded the South Sea Sword Sect."
"Now that our fleet has been annihilated, and thirty thousand people have died, is this the end of the world?"
"Of course not. We still have the South Continent Archipelago, and we still have hundreds of thousands of people. Our Xue Clan has hundreds of thousands of people intact, and we still have the South Sea Sword Sect."
"We even have tens of thousands of soldiers defending South Continent City."
"We still have our relationship with Stupa Mountain, and our relationship with the Empire."
"We've lost some ships, some money, and some soldiers. So what?"
"In less than ten years, all of this will be back."
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
"Shen Lang's army will soon land and attack our South Continent City."
"Leave them behind and kill them all."
Then Xue Che passed the scripture he had just copied to Ning Qi.
"Your Highness, this is the scripture I just copied. I'll give it to you."
Ning Qi bowed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xue."
… …
In the tallest castle of the Xue Clan.
Only Xue Che, Ning Qi, and Yan E were present.
"Shen Lang's army is about to arrive," Xue Che said slowly.
Ning Qi said, "I'm willing to fight alongside the Xue Clan."
"No need, no need …" Xue Che said with a smile, "Your Highness, encountering an opponent like Shen Lang must be a headache. Sometimes, it's enough to make one despair."
Ning Qi smiled bitterly.
He and Shen Lang had practically fought across space, but the result had been heart-wrenching.
Shen Lang had launched a surprise attack on the Chu royal capital, signed a new truce with the Chu king, and brought his reputation down to the ground.
Then, Shen Lang had saved Monarch Ning Yuanxian at the crucial moment, causing Ning Qi to be crippled after just two hours of being a young emperor.
This was more than a fatal blow. It was like being thrown into the eighteenth level of hell and being tormented in a pot of boiling oil. If it were anyone else, they would probably be finished immediately.
"Because Shen Lang has grasped a power that the secular world does not understand, you were so passive in the previous battle." Xue Che said slowly, "Your Highness can just watch from the side. Since Shen Lang is here, he shouldn't leave anymore."
"I will execute Jin Mulan inch by inch in front of Shen Lang, and then stuff it into Shen Lang's mouth, asking him if it tastes good."
"After that, in front of everyone, we will slowly dismember Shen Lang inch by inch. The crucial part can be left to the Third Prince."
Even when saying this, Xue Che was not gritting his teeth, but was instead very calm.
"Shen Lang knows nothing about my Xue clan's strength!"
… …
The outside world indeed knew nothing about the Xue clan's strength.
At this moment, there were ten bottles in front of Xue Che.
A strange green color surged within.
They were all Stupa Mountain Gu worms, and each bottle had about one liter.
This was an astronomical number.
"Come, come …"
Xue Che waved his hand.
A sixteen-year-old boy walked over.
"Grandpa."
This boy was Xue Che's grandson, Xue Ye.
Xue Che handed him a bow. It was a compound bow with pulleys, exactly the same as the bow that Shen Lang equipped the army with.
Obviously, the Xue clan had copied Shen Lang's bow.
This was also a two-picul strong bow.
"Shoot over there."
Xue Che pointed.
An old man was tied up more than two hundred meters in front of them.
A woman was tied up on his left and a child on his right.
"Choose one and shoot him," Xue Che said.
"Master, spare me, spare me …"
"We didn't do anything wrong. We are loyal."
"Although we stayed with the Kim family, we came to the Xue clan with Miss's dowry decades ago."
The sixteen-year-old Xue Ye drew his bow and aimed at the child two hundred meters away.
This was a two-picul strong bow, but it was a compound bow, which was much easier to pull.
Shoot!
"Whoosh!"
The sixteen-year-old Xue Ye suddenly shot an arrow.
The arrow flew out as fast as lightning.
The child tied to the post was so frightened that he began to cry aloud.
But he didn't hit the target. The distance was more than two hundred meters.
"Let's change to another arrow …"
Xue Che drew an arrow from the special quiver.
Xue Ye drew the arrow again and shot it out.
"Whoosh …"
The arrow of the two-picul strong bow was really powerful. It shot out like lightning again.
It easily reached the target more than two hundred meters away.
However, Xue Ying wanted to shoot the wailing child.
Still, he didn't hit the target.
But …
When the arrow flew past the three of them, it suddenly exploded.
Green smoke burst out and splashed onto the three of them.
"Ah … Ah … Ah …"
The three people let out extremely miserable screams.
Then their bodies began to rot and become completely twisted.
In just a few seconds, they died miserably.
Their deaths were horrible. Their skin seemed to be corroded by sulfuric acid.
This was the Poisonous Insect Arrow.
It didn't need to hit the target. As long as it was beyond a certain distance, it would explode.
Then, the Poisonous Insects inside would spread out like smoke, entering every nook and cranny.
As long as it touched the skin, no matter where it touched, it would be corroded.
They died miserably.
Xue Che and Xue Ye stepped forward and examined the three corpses.
They were already rotten and miserable to the extreme. They didn't look human at all.
Even the blood that flowed out was green.
"Grandson, destroy these corpses," Xue Che said.
The sixteen-year-old Xue Ye took a bucket of oil and poured it on the three corpses. Then, he lit it on fire.
He destroyed the corpses.
Xue Che rubbed Xue Ye's head and said, "Grandson, Shenlang's army will be here soon. What wrong do you have?"
Xue Ye said, "Will Jin Mulan come too?"
Xue Che said, "Yes."
Xue Ye said, "Then my wish is to kill Jin Mulan. I heard she's a peerless beauty, the most beautiful woman in the world."
Xue Che said, "Good ambition, good ambition!"
Then, Xue Che looked down the castle.
There were thousands of people.
They were all disciples of the South Sea Sword Sect, and they were all martial arts experts.
Behind them, there were tens of thousands of people.
They were all soldiers of the Xue family.
"Equip the new bows!"
Following the order.
The thousands of disciples of the South Sea Sword Sect were all equipped with brand new bows and arrows.
The composite bows were exactly the same as those of the Shenlang Nirvana Army, two-picul strong bows.
Because the disciples of the South Sea Sword Sect were different from the soldiers. They were powerful and could easily draw the two-picul strong bows.
"The bows you are equipped with are exactly the same as those of the Shenlang Nirvana Army. They are both two-picul strong bows."
"But your arrows are all specially made."
"You don't need to aim. As long as you shoot it, it will explode in the air. Then, the parasites inside will spread out and kill everyone around."
"Men, experiment!"
One of the warriors stepped forward, picked up a strong bow, and nocked an arrow, aiming at the three people more than two hundred meters away.
"Blindfold."
The warrior blindfolded his eyes.
"Shoot!"
The arrow suddenly shot out.
Like lightning, the arrow shot more than two hundred meters away and exploded in the air several meters away from the three targets.
Green smoke billowed out.
"Ah … ah … ah …"
Countless parasites, like smoke, splashed on the three people's bodies.
There was a burst of shrill screams. The three people's bodies were corroded.
In a short moment, they died tragically.
There was no need to aim at all. They could shoot blindfolded.
Because after the arrow exploded, countless parasites spread out like smoke, and people within a few meters would be splashed.
Xue Che said slowly, "Everyone, the Shenlang Army will be here soon."
"Leave them here and kill them all."
"Do you know that the Shenlang Army has created a lot of new terms, such as hour, minute, and second. These are the units of time."
"Tick, this is one second."
"I want you to kill the Shenlang Nirvana Army in ten seconds."
"That's it!"
Xue Che had only one requirement for this battle: instant kill!
… …
Inside Xue Che's castle.
Several Guru Realm experts were sitting there quietly.
"Senior brothers, we don't need so many masters to destroy the Shenlang Army."
"But this time, we need to capture three people alive."
"Shenlang, Jin Mulan, Big Fool."
"Jin Mulan needs to be dismembered in front of the Shenlang Army. This is obviously to vent her anger. After a few hundred cuts, we'll extract all her blood and bone marrow. Stupa Mountain will have great use for them. "
"The Big Fool's entire body is a treasure. His bone marrow, blood, bones, and veins must all be extracted. This is a huge treasure."
"Then I'll leave it to you, senior brothers."
The masters bowed to Xue Che. "Don't worry, we'll make sure Junior Brother Xue gets what he wants."
Xue Che said, "When the time comes, we'll share a share with our senior brothers."
… …
Everything was ready.
Deadly weapons, one after another.
Xue Che had half a foot in the secular world, and half a foot in the transcendent forces.
The South Sea Sword Sect could be considered a smurf of the Stupa Mountain.
Therefore, he didn't really care about the battles of the secular monarchs.
Of course, these secret weapons were also the result of decades of hard work.
He didn't think of using them now.
"Shenlang, you know nothing about the mysterious power."
"You'll soon understand that you've provoked an enemy that you can't touch."
Because his vision was high, and he had stayed in the secret forces for a long time, Xue Che didn't really care about Shenlang's Nirvana Army and Godly Archers.
Insignificant tricks, a clown jumping around.
Because these transcendent forces didn't make a move, Shenlang would be more capable.
Shenlang was about to attack South Continent City.
Victory?
That wasn't Xue Che's goal at all.
He only wanted one result, instant kill!
… …
Shenlang's fleet was still cruising in an area two or three hundred miles away from South Continent City.
Do you still remember the three pirate leaders?
They betrayed Xue Pan to Shen Lang and exchanged him for three thousand gold coins, making a fortune.
At the same time, he gave three special bottles to Shenlang.
It wasn't that he didn't think these three bottles were worthless.
Don't underestimate the pirate leaders. They had a good eye.
Unknown things must be rare.
Rare things must be valuable.
But how to cash them out was a problem.
The rarer something was, the more likely it was to be sold to a powerful force. It might not be exchanged for money, but for silencing.
Shenlang glanced at it and said, "Give these three warriors another thousand gold coins."
Immediately, the three became even more joyful.
On average, each of them had more than thirteen hundred gold coins. They were rich.
They could eat and drink well for the rest of their lives.
… … …
Shenlang carefully used all kinds of methods to open one of the bottles.
Inside was a green liquid, all of which were Stupa Mountain's Gu worms. He didn't know how many there were.
But these Gu worms were currently immersed in the special liquid, sleeping.
After opening it, some of the Gu worms became restless.
They emerged like green smoke and pounced on Shenlang's face.
Immediately, these Gu worms woke up and wanted to devour Shenlang's flesh and blood.
Then …
They all died.
Like countless green dust, they fell from Shenlang's face.
Sigh!
Shenlang was too cruel.
To avoid killing these Gu worms, Shenlang put on a mask and gloves.
He took out a specimen and observed it under the microscope.
"Level Two Carrion Gu Worm!"
This was not named by Shenlang, but by Stupa Mountain.
It was recorded clearly in Wu Tuzi's database.
It sounded awesome, didn't it?
These Gu worms were specially bred to kill on a large scale.
Once they got close to the human skin, they could easily drill into the flesh and blood.
Their secretion combined with the blood and instantly turned into a terrifying acid.
Therefore, as long as they were hit by these Gu worms, they would all rot into a thick green paste.
The death was too horrible to look at.
However, these Gu worms also had a weakness. After leaving the nutrient solution, they could only survive in the air for a few seconds.
They needed to drill into the human blood immediately to survive and carry out the massacre.
However, they were extremely small, comparable to dust, and could easily drill into the gaps of armor.
In other words, the armor of Shenlang's Nirvana Army could not withstand them.
Once these Gu worms spread, the Nirvana Army would die instantly.
These three bottles added up to about three liters.
Obviously, they were brought out by Yan Nanfei.
He did not use these things when he attacked Shenlang's fleet.
Obviously, he felt that it was unnecessary. He wanted to use these three bottles of Stupa Mountain's Gu worms in Raging Tide Castle.
The Xue Clan was really cruel.
In order to win, they would do anything.
They did not care how many people they killed.
Judging from Yan Nanfei's attitude, he had no intention of fighting a regular war in Raging Tide City.
He wanted to use such a vicious and strange method to wipe out Raging Tide City and the Kim family.
This was a living biological weapon.
The Great Yan Empire prohibited it.
Yet, the Xue Clan used it.
This ban could only be ignored.
There was nothing new in this world.
The Assyrian government could not use biological weapons, but the resistance army could.
… …
Since Xue Che asked Yan Nanfei to bring three bottles of Gu worms, the Xue Clan definitely had more than three bottles.
Maybe ten bottles?
Could Xue Che have other Gu worms?
The possibility was low.
After all, the Xue Clan and South Sea Sword Sect were just Stupa Mountain's side accounts. They would not give the Xue Clan a more powerful weapon.
Moreover, this Level Two Carrion Gu worm was strong enough in the secular world. It was enough to crush an ordinary army.
Hence, there was no need for Stupa Mountain to give the Xue Clan a stronger large-scale Gu worm.
Then, Xue Che would definitely use this Gu worm to attack South Continent City.
If they were unprepared.
Then Shenlang's Nirvana Army would be instantly killed.
In less than half a minute, they would all die.
They would be shot with a special arrow. After the arrow exploded, the Gu worms would spread out and enter every opening. There was no way to hide.
After these Gu worms entered a person's body, they would rapidly multiply.
In a very short time, they could corrode the person to death.
So did Shenlang have any defenses?
Of course!
He was even prepared for five types of Gu worms.
However, it was difficult for him to determine which Gu worm the Xue Clan had.
But he could roughly guess that it was a Level Two Carrion Gu worm.
Because this Gu worm's level was not high, but its lethality was shocking.
So was it difficult to be immune to this Level Two Carrion Gu worm?
Not at all.
These Gu worms were not poisonous. After entering a person's bloodstream, they would immediately secrete something. When these things mixed with the blood, they would turn into a terrifying corrosive acid.
Therefore, Shenlang only needed to inject everyone with a medicine that was specially used to kill these Gu worms in advance.
After the Level Two Carrion Gu worm entered the blood, it would first devour the blood and then secrete the corrosive acid.
However, it would die immediately after taking the first bite. There was no time to secrete the poison.
Was the medicine that Shenlang used to defend against the Level Two Carrion Gu worm made from his blood?
No!
There was really no need.
There were more than three to five ways to defend against this kind of Gu worm.
This was not what he saw in Wu Tuzi's information, but in the ancient books on Prince Jin's side.
Shenlang chose the easiest way and developed the defense medicine.
… …
"Come!"
Under Shenlang's command, two people walked in.
One was a normal person, and the other was a Nirvana Army soldier. One was a woman, and the other was a man.
Shenlang took out a needle and injected everyone with the defense medicine.
Then he waited quietly.
Their bodies reacted. After half an hour of high fever, many pockmarks appeared on their bodies.
Even their skin showed a strange purple color.
After an hour.
These symptoms disappeared.
"Stretch out your hand."
Both of them stretched out their hands.
Shenlang dipped some Level Two Carrion Gu worm with a piece of glass and smeared it on their palms.
These Gu worms were originally dormant, but they immediately woke up. They instinctively drilled into the skin and blood vessels through the gaps.
Therefore, the green color disappeared directly from their palms.
What followed was supposed to be a strange scene.
Their hands were first corroded, and then it quickly spread to their whole body.
Their internal organs and bodies were completely corroded, and they finally died a horrible death.
As a result …
They were completely unscathed.
The Level Two Carrion Gu worm died instantly as soon as it entered their blood.
The defense medicine that Shenlang injected was absolutely immune to this kind of Gu worm.
Although it was expected, it was still a pleasant surprise.
… …
Next.
Shenlang injected all the Nirvana Army soldiers with the immunity medicine, as well as all the sailors.
As a result …
More than a dozen people had a strong reaction. Nine people died, and six people lost their sight and hearing.
This result was better than expected.
They waited for another day!
To ensure that the immunity medicine had completely entered the bodies of the Nirvana Army soldiers and spread to every part of their blood.
To ensure that the Xue family's Gu worm would not hurt anyone.
Shenlang ordered.
The Nirvana Army landed on South Island.
To attack the real nest of the Xue family, South Island City!
… …
The dock of South Island City was not destroyed.
Shenlang's fleet easily docked.
The expected landing battle did not happen.
More than three thousand Nirvana Army soldiers easily landed on South Island.
Then they lined up neatly and marched towards South Island City.
During the whole process, there was not a single person on the wide and orderly road, nor was there any ambush.
It was as if Xue Che was waiting for him to attack South Island City!
After an hour!
Shenlang's Nirvana Army soldiers arrived at the city gate.
This was South Island City.
This was the nest of the Xue family, the trading center of the entire Southern Sea.
… …
Xue Che did not stand on top of the city wall to command the army.
Because he felt that there was no need. If he personally went to the top of the city wall, it would be somewhat embarrassing.
This was a battle of instant killing. Could it be that he, the leader of the Xue family, had to personally command the army?
Xue Che just stood on top of the city wall, playing with a skull in his hand, silently watching the arrival of Shenlang's army.
This skull belonged to his son, Xue Pan.
"Shenlang, you're here."
"Jin Mulan, you're here too."
Jin Mulan was indeed as beautiful as the rumors said. She was simply gorgeous. Especially her devilish figure, it was almost inhuman.
Such a beauty, if one was not strong enough, enjoying her would reduce one's fortune.
At least, Shenlang did not have this qualification, nor did he have the ability to enjoy her.
Xue Che would not enjoy her either, lest he would be hated by the big shots in the future.
But if I can't enjoy such a peerless beauty, then I'll destroy her completely.
After draining her blood and bone marrow, I'll destroy her completely. Don't even think about it.
Xue Che took out a new carving knife, a new red sandalwood page, and waited quietly.
After capturing Shenlang and Jin Mulan alive, they would be executed by a thousand cuts, and then their blood would be used to carve the book.
It would be very fast, no more than fifteen minutes!
Xue Che had absolute confidence!
… …
The commander on top of the city wall was the new heir of the Xue family, a former disciple of Stupa Mountain, Xue Ding.
Seeing Shenlang's Nirvana Army appear, Xue Ding waved his hand. Immediately, a dense army appeared on top of the city wall. Five thousand South Sea Sword Sect disciples and nearly ten thousand Xue family private soldiers.
These five thousand South Sea Sword Sect disciples all held compound bows in their hands.
Shenlang's eyes narrowed. This is plagiarizing my bow. The bows of both armies really did look exactly the same.
But the arrows on the backs of the South Sea Sword Sect disciples were different. Special quiver, each containing only five arrows, spaced very far apart. Each arrow contained countless second-level carrion parasites, capable of killing all enemies within a few meters.
Former disciple of Stupa Mountain, the new heir of the Xue family, Xue Ding, slowly stared at Shenlang.
This is Shenlang?
This is Jin Mulan?
This woman is so beautiful that it makes people shudder. Can I really not sleep with her?
Neither side said any harsh words.
Xue Ding waited for Shenlang's Nirvana Army to approach.
Once they were within three hundred meters, they would immediately shoot their parasite arrows.
Finish the battle within a minute, and kill all of Shenlang's troops.
What was the point of shouting in a battle that would instantly kill everyone?
This was a transcendent force killing a secular army in an instant.
It would be a disgrace if he shouted something like killing them all.
Xue Ding's heart was filled with anticipation.
Wasn't the Nirvana Army known as the number one trump card, invincible?
They would kill all of you in ten seconds.
How shocking would that be?
