"The Soul-Devouring Essence is extremely poisonous. Once it enters the body, it will absorb the host's spiritual energy and grow stronger. It is extremely difficult to remove. The stronger the spiritual energy in the body, the faster the Soul-Devouring Essence will grow. In the end, it will drain the host until he is a dried-up corpse. If it is placed in a place devoid of spiritual energy, the Soul-Devouring Essence will slowly lose its activity. 1.85 million points are required."

Upon seeing the effects of the Soul Devouring Essence, Qin Wu was immediately astonished. Wasn't this the perfect artifact for home, travel, murder, and robbery?

A glint of light flashed in Qin Wu's eyes, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. A slight smile appeared on his lips: "Let's give this old tree a good beating, to avenge the thousand-mile chase we had last time."

Chapter 368: Ready to Go (1)

As Qin Wu looked at the Devouring Spirit Essence, a bold idea quietly surfaced in his mind.

Without any hesitation, he clicked to redeem.

"Ding! System notification: Adding another 100,000 points will grant you a free bottle of antidote."

Seeing the system's prompt, Qin Wu was slightly taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and clicked "Exchange".

In an instant, two bottles, one red and one green, appeared in Qin Wu's storage ring. Qin Wu's lips twitched as he looked at the two thumb-sized bottles, cursing the system for being a profiteer. It cost him nearly two million for such a small item.

However, the thought of the danger posed by this small bottle still gave Qin Wu goosebumps all over his body.

Looking at the few tens of thousands of martial arts points he had left, Qin Wu couldn't help but sigh, "These points really are going to disappear like water. I hope you'll have a good harvest this time attacking Nanyue City."

In the following two days, Qin Wu found Leng Ruxiang. The two were of similar skill level in spear fighting and learned a lot from each other's exchanges. They were still exchanging their insights on the 353 spear technique.

Chen Baima found the two of them, and then in the council hall of Dawn City, Qin Wu saw many familiar faces, all of whom were powerful experts from Dawn City.

Chen Baima, along with Qin Wu and Leng Ruxiang, sat on the right rear. When Lu Acai saw them arrive, she nodded slightly and said, "Now that everyone is here, I'll get straight to the point. This time, we must take over Ling Mountain. Whether we can launch a counterattack on the plane depends on this."

"To ensure the plan goes smoothly, we have invited three hundred powerful warriors from the Kryptonian race. I will gather all the troops outside Dawn City, so that the attention of South Moon City and Earth City will be focused on the army of Dawn City. You will be a surprise force and go directly to Mount Ling."

"At that time, Grandmaster Wei Yitian will be there to support you, and Chen Baima will be the commander. We will fight a blitzkrieg and leave immediately after we have plundered the resources."

After hearing this, Qin Wu showed a look of surprise. The Kryptonians actually sent three hundred Qi Realm experts. Even in the entire Dawn City, there wasn't a single one who couldn't find three hundred Qi Realm experts. This race was truly terrifying. Fortunately, their population was not large.

After discussing some details, the group decided to attack Mount Ling the day after tomorrow.

Lu Acai called Qin Wu and the others to a secret room at the back. In the middle of the secret room, there was something covered by a white cloth. When Qin Wu saw it, his heart skipped a beat.

Lu Acai stepped forward and yanked open the cloth, revealing what was covering her. Qin Wu and Chen Baima's eyes lit up immediately.

A ballista, four meters long and three meters wide, came into view. The ballista was covered with inscriptions, and a two-and-a-half-meter-long, blood-red crossbow bolt lay to one side, its sharp tip gleaming with a menacing light.

Chen Baima's breathing quickened, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. He then strode forward, circled the ballista twice, and kept making "tsk tsk" sounds.

Seeing the surprised looks on everyone's faces, Lu Acai smiled slightly and said, "This is the God-Slaying Thorn. Chen Baima will be in charge of using it in the battle of Ling Mountain. I will teach you how to use it later."

Upon hearing this, Chen Baima (cccc) beamed with joy. He had long wanted to test the power of the God-Slaying Thorn, but the crossbow bolts were too precious, and he had never had the chance.

Upon hearing this, everyone became somewhat excited about the great battle the day after tomorrow, eager to witness the power of the God-Slaying Thorn. Afterwards, Lu Acai emphasized the precautions and told everyone to go back and prepare themselves for the upcoming battle.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Wu was woken up early by Chen Baima to meet up with the Kryptonians. When he arrived, he saw his old acquaintance Kent and Leng Ruxiang inside.

There were more than three hundred people standing together in a dark mass. Chen Baima said, "Now we just wait for the Grandmaster and the others to assemble the army, and then we will set off immediately."

Before long, Lu Acai flew over Dawn City, unleashing his Grandmaster-level aura without reservation.

"Array up!"

A deafening sound came from Lu Acai's mouth.

The troops of Dawn City surged toward the city gate and soon formed ten square formations on the plain outside the city, totaling 800,000 men.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"..."

Every soldier raised their weapon and shouted fiercely. The battle cries shook the heavens and the earth. The Grandmaster of Nanyue City immediately sensed the momentum and thought that Shuguang City was about to launch an attack on Nanyue City. He immediately ordered the entire city of Nanyue City to prepare for battle.

The entire city immediately went on high alert.

At this moment, Wei Yitian flew up to Qin Wu and the others, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go!"

Then, more than three hundred experts with the strength of Gang Jin quietly entered the forest from one side of the army.

Wei Yitian had Qin Wu act as a scout, and along the way, he killed all the people from Nanyue City he encountered. Most of these were elites sent by Nanyue City to assassinate Qin Wu.

What they didn't expect was that when they saw Qin Wu again, it would be the moment of their death. Qin Wu's face was beaming with joy. The frustration of being chased earlier vanished instantly. "I have three hundred internal energy experts behind me. What are you afraid of?"

Along the way, the group carefully avoided the lairs of ferocious beasts, and in just half a day, Mount Ling was already in sight.

Chapter 369: The Battle of Ling Mountain (2)

Hidden in the dense forest, the group saw squads of soldiers stationed at the foot of Mount Ling.

Chen Baima's eyes gleamed with intense fighting spirit. He took out a small, dusty pouch about the size of a palm, and with a wave of his hand, the God-Slaying Thorn appeared before everyone's eyes.

Qin Wu had noticed that Chen Baima was in a very excited state today, but since the God-Slaying Thorn had not appeared, he guessed that he was not the only one who had something like a storage ring.

Chen Baima waved his hand and shouted, "Attack!"

Instantly, all three hundred Qi warriors rushed out, and the army of Nanyue City reacted immediately.

"Boom!"

A loud bell rang out from the camp in Nanyue City, accompanied by a high-pitched shout:

"Enemy attack!"

The army of Nanyue City reacted very quickly, with soldiers surging in from all directions like a tide, immediately forming a battle formation at the foot of the mountain. In front of them was a row of tall shields, which completely blocked the archers and ordinary infantry.

However, they were not facing ordinary enemies, but more than three hundred Gang Jin experts. How could ordinary soldiers withstand the attack of Gang Jin? For a moment, it was as if Qin Wu and the others were a red-hot dagger cutting into butter.

The army of Nanyue City was immediately thrown into chaos, with men and horses falling and blood flowing like a river.

At this moment, a powerful aura spread from Mount Ling toward the battlefield, and a figure dressed in white suddenly flew into the sky, looking coldly at the troops of Dawn City.

Upon seeing the Grandmaster from Nanyue City, Wei Yitian immediately revealed himself and confronted him from afar.

The white-robed grandmaster's face was ashen, his eyes filled with icy killing intent. He said in a cold voice, "Does your Dawn City want to start a war? How dare you attack the precious land of my Southern Moon City?"

Wei Yi laughed heartily, his eyes full of disdain: "You're saying that we can shake hands and make peace just because we don't attack Ling Mountain?"

Seeing countless soldiers dead and wounded below, the white-robed master, filled with uncontrollable rage, roared to the sky.

"Don't force me to take action!"

Just then, the army of Nanyue City was already within range of the God-Slaying Thorn. Chen Baima put the crossbow bolt in and placed a few spirit stones into the groove on the crossbow arm.

Finally, a surge of spiritual energy was injected into the crossbow, and instantly all the inscriptions on the God-Slaying Thorn lit up.

Chen Baima aimed the God-Slaying Thorn at the high-ranking commander in the army who was directing the battle, and then with a thought, the crossbow bolt disappeared from the ballista.

At this moment, the commander who was directing the Nan Yue City soldiers to attack suddenly felt a killing intent envelop him. Just as he was concentrating on observing, a red light flew towards him. Before he could see what was flying towards him, he lost consciousness.

The soldiers nearby felt a flash of red light, and the commander turned into a cloud of blood mist.

"boom!"

Only after the commander died did everyone hear a loud bang. Everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came and their mouths dropped open in unison.

A blood-stained path ran through the army of Nanyue City. Along the way, there were severed limbs and blood flowing everywhere. Soldiers who were slightly closer to the path showed expressions of horror on their faces.

One soldier was so frightened that he squatted on the ground, his face blank, muttering, "Devil...it must be the devil!"

After saying that, he scrambled up and started yelling.

Chen Baima stared at the blood-splattered passage and froze on the spot. Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still startled when he saw the power of the God-Slaying Thorn.

That guy was at the peak of the Gang Jin realm, but he was shot into a cloud of blood mist without even having time to react. So, in that case, Zhu Shen Ci can be considered half a grandmaster.

·· ··Requesting flowers·· ··

There's no time to be distracted on the battlefield. The Dawn City side was already prepared and was the first to recover, then they routed the Southern Moon City side.

Upon witnessing the carnage on the battlefield, the white-robed master's eyes widened in fury. He drew a willow-leaf dagger and slashed at Wei Yitian.

Wei Yitian sneered, and his whole body suddenly shone with golden light, as if he had been cast in gold from head to toe.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar came from the sky, and some low-level internal energy martial artists were directly shocked and died, bleeding from all seven orifices. This is why grandmaster martial artists generally do not take action.

... ..... ...

The white-robed master felt as if he had struck a wall of bronze and iron with his sword. His hand was so shocked that it went numb. He thought in horror, "Is this still flesh and blood?"

Just then, Chen Baima fired another arrow.

A "whoosh" sound.

The arrow tore through the air, producing a sharp whistling sound.

Another bloody path appeared in your army in Nanyue City. If it weren't for the fear of hurting his own people, Chen Baima would have already fired all the crossbow bolts in his hand.

This arrow was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The army of Nanyue City was thrown into chaos, and many people were terrified by the power of the God-Slaying Thorn.

They scattered and fled, and the people of Dawn City chased after them, quickly killing them and leaving corpses strewn all over the place. Then Qin Wu led the charge into the mine of Ling Mountain.

Seeing that the army of Nanyue City had already collapsed and was beyond saving, the white-robed master slashed at Wei Yitian, then turned and flew towards Nanyue City. Wei Yitian did not chase after him, but simply hovered above the battlefield.
