CHAPTER 436: CHAPTER 430: BLOOD KILL ALIEN RACE_1

After a day’s rest, roused by the stirring battle drums, the Qin Dynasty’s soldiers swiftly rose from their sleep. After breakfast, they began a forced march.

After yesterday’s defeat, the borders of the Thousand Demon Saint’s Court lay deserted, littered with wreckage.

Having dispatched Scouts to ensure there were no ambushes, Zhao Yun led his grand army and officially stepped into the territory of the Thousand Demon Saint’s Court, beginning their bloody campaign.

Before setting out, Zhao Yun convened the commanders of the four great legions, clarifying their military doctrine: to suppress foreign races with an iron fist.

Upon entering the domain of the Thousand Demon Saint’s Court, the vast Qin army of tens of millions continued its advance. Their speed was incredible, rivaling that of a Spirit Boat, yet they advanced almost silently.

"General, two thousand li ahead lies a city controlled by the Ghost Cat Tribe!"

A black speck flew in from the distance—a Scout, who landed before Zhao Yun and reported, his eyes full of respect and admiration.

"Then we’ll make an example of the Ghost Cat Tribe. Kill!"

Upon hearing this, information about the Ghost Cat Tribe surfaced in Zhao Yun’s mind. They were a notoriously savage race, known for frequent invasions and large-scale slaughters of humans.From humanity’s standpoint, the Ghost Cat Tribe was burdened with grievous sins!

"General, allow me to lead the vanguard!" Bai Qi stepped forward, his blood-soaked war sword exuding a profound killing intent.

"Alright!" Zhao Yun considered for a moment, his expression impassive. Among the four legions, the Vermilion Bird Army under Bai Qi’s command was the most aggressive, making them the most suitable for annihilating the Ghost Cat Tribe.

"As you command!" A brilliant smile spread across Bai Qi’s face as he roared, "Vermilion Bird Army, to battle!"

BOOM!

Upon hearing his command, the three million soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Army quickened their pace. Like phantoms, they departed the main formation, hurtling toward the Ghost Cat Tribe ahead.

Since it was a surprise attack, the Vermilion Bird Army soldiers suppressed their killing intent and Evil Qi.

Two thousand li away lay a vast Stone City. It teemed with tens of millions of Ghost Cat Tribe members, all frantically packing and bustling about.

"Clan Leader, the lands within a ten-thousand-li radius are our fiefdom. If we leave now, we lose everything!"

Inside the city’s tallest building, several Ghost Cat Tribe leaders stood discussing. Unlike other races, their evolution was incomplete; even in human form, they retained feline heads and tails, giving them an awkward and incongruous appearance.

The Grand Elder of the Ghost Cat Tribe gazed out at the surrounding lands, his face etched with reluctance. The Stone City they currently inhabited was a reward for their meritorious service upon joining the Thousand Demon Saint’s Court. It had taken two years of construction to reach its current scale. As for their previous domain, it was in a primordial forest to the north—a harsh land, scarce in cultivation resources.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, but difficult to return from luxury to thrift. After living in Stone City, they enjoyed delicious blood-food, abundant Spiritual Energy, and comfortable dwellings daily. Naturally, they didn’t want to leave and return to the barren primordial forest.

"The border defenses have fallen! The Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court’s army will arrive soon. It’s too dangerous for us to stay!" the Clan Leader of the Ghost Cat Tribe said gravely. He didn’t want to leave either, but he knew that staying meant certain death. The might of the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court was terrifying! Moreover, by retreating to their former territory and hiding in the primordial forest, they could evade the war between the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court and the Thousand Demon Saint’s Court. This would effectively preserve their tribe’s strength.

"Clan Leader, what about the blood-food? Should we take it with us?" an elder responsible for the tribe’s migration asked, flying down to the base of the tower and kneeling.

The Clan Leader frowned. They kept a vast number of humans captive in their fiefdom. Taking them all to the primordial forest was unfeasible; it would severely slow their journey. But to abandon the blood-food... he couldn’t bear it!

"Kill them all! Pack them into Space Rings and take them with us!" After a moment’s thought, the Clan Leader declared through gritted teeth.

Hearing this, the elder saluted respectfully before flying off, radiating frightful killing intent. He landed at a blood-red structure one hundred li away. This sprawling structure, tens of li in length and width, was heavily guarded, with armed Ghost Cat Tribe soldiers visible everywhere. Inside, the building was divided into dozens of sections. Each section housed hundreds of thousands of humans. Chained and clad in rags, they lived like livestock in sunless cells.

In the center of the complex stood a peculiar white, spherical building, surrounded by Formations that emanated a faint life force. To ensure a constant, plentiful supply of blood-food, the Ghost Cat Tribe forced women over the age of fourteen to copulate with males. Once pregnant, they were confined to this special building.

"What a waste!" the elder, hovering mid-air, commanded coldly, "Relay my order! Slaughter all the blood-food and pack them into Space Rings!"

His powerful voice reverberated for several hundred li, reaching everyone’s ears. The patrolling Ghost Cat Tribe soldiers revealed cruel expressions as they brandished their weapons, their bodies charged with frightful killing intent, ready to hunt the humans.

Instinctive terror gripped the captive humans. Soon, however, they calmed. Perhaps death was a welcome release.

Seeing this, the elder departed in satisfaction. They had dozens more such facilities, holding captive humans numbering in the hundreds of millions.

"Not good!" Sixty li away, Bai Qi, leading the forced march, suddenly cried out. The Ghost Cat Tribe elder’s order had reached his ears, and he was instantly enraged. His terrifying Evil Qi surged skyward, forming a blood dragon that seemed capable of annihilating all creation.

"Empower the army formation! Full speed ahead!" Bai Qi commanded anxiously.

A crimson light erupted from his body, coalescing high above into an illusory Vermilion Bird. Immediately, three million pillars of light burst forth from the Vermilion Bird Army soldiers, merging into the Vermilion Bird phantom, gradually solidifying it until it seemed almost real.

The temperature in the Void skyrocketed!

SKREEE!

The Vermilion Bird tilted its head back and let out a clear, resonant cry. Then, with a flap of its wings, it swept the three million Vermilion Bird Army soldiers through the air.

In a few breaths, the Vermilion Bird Army arrived outside the blood-red structure. Seeing the humans being slaughtered, the soldiers’ eyes instantly turned crimson, their Evil Qi erupting uncontrollably. The Ghost Cat Tribe soldiers were butchering the humans, skillfully dismembering them and storing the remains in Space Rings.

Being humans themselves, the Vermilion Bird Army soldiers were utterly enraged by the sight.

"Enemy attack! Defend!" The Ghost Cat Tribe soldiers, spotting the Vermilion Bird Army, dropped the humans in their grasp and hastily formed ranks to resist.

Bai Qi commanded coldly, "Kill!"

The Vermilion Bird Army charged, fury erupting from their bodies, burning fiercely. Every soldier silently swore to tear the Ghost Cat Tribe soldiers limb from limb.

The two armies clashed—it was a one-sided massacre! In terms of numbers or strength, the Ghost Cat Tribe soldiers were no match for the Vermilion Bird Army.

Before long, all the Ghost Cat Tribe soldiers were slain, their blood dyeing Changkong red.
