Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Night Song moved with lightning speed and quickly arrived at the scene Arthur had mentioned.

The sight before him caused his brows to furrow instantly, his gaze turning icy.

This is a forest utterly soaked in death.

Everywhere you looked, there were gruesome severed limbs and remains. Blood, like spilled paint, stained large patches of soil, grass, and tree trunks with a dark, sticky brownish-red. The intense, almost overwhelming stench of blood mingled with a strange, sweet, and burnt smell, making one want to vomit.

Within a radius of several miles, the ground was uneven, with scorch marks from magical bombardments, deep trenches from sword cuts, and a mess as if trampled by a giant beast.

The corpses of the Water Tribe and the Wind Tribe were densely packed, almost covering every inch of land within sight. They lay in various twisted and broken postures, their blood, which had not yet completely congealed, still flowing slightly and seeping into the earth.

Moreover, the condition of these corpses was extremely bizarre and gruesome!

Almost none of them were intact, and even those that were had an eerie bluish-purple hue on their surfaces, as if they had been corroded by some kind of deadly poison or evil force, making them look particularly gruesome in the dim light.

"Shuashuashua——"

At this moment, Yan Ji, Ye Bing, Su Yanling, Xia Xiyao, Nangong Qiuyue and others also followed.

Even Yan Ji and Ye Bing, upon witnessing the scene, couldn't help but show a clear sense of shock across their cold and beautiful faces.

"What happened here?" Nangong Qiuyue asked with a surprised look.

Ye Ge remained silent for a long time before slowly standing up and saying, "The combined army of the Water Clan and the Wind Clan, numbering two hundred thousand, has been completely wiped out."

"!!!??" Everyone looked incredulous.

"How could this be?!" Su Yanling exclaimed in shock. "The eerie mist hasn't been gone for long. They entered the Crimson Plains no more than a day ago. Two hundred thousand troops, and they're gone so quickly..."

Ye Ge turned her head and looked around, as if searching for something.

Soon, he finally found the person he was looking for.

Shui Tianhua and Fengshangbo.

They are both dead.

Feng Shangbo's body was cut in half at the waist, lying on his back with his eyes wide open; Shui Tianhua was slightly better off, at least he was a complete corpse, his skin also showing a strange bluish-purple color.

Ye Ge crouched down, extended his finger, and gathered a wisp of pure soul power at his fingertip. He gently pressed it against Shui Tianhua's chest, and the soul power carefully probed into his body.

His eyes suddenly widened. He sensed that although Shui Tianhua's body appeared intact on the outside, the inside was a shockingly charred ruin! His internal organs, meridians, bones, and all the organs and tissues that sustained life had all turned into a blackened charcoal!

He then immediately checked Feng Shangbo's body next to him and found that it was the same.

"Such a cruel method of murder..." As the head of the Night Watch, Nangong Ru couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: "All the organs in his body that could possibly contain soul power were burned to a crisp. Who did this?"

Ye Ge remained silent.

Feng Shangbo and Shui Tianhua were both Soul Emperor realm experts. Even with their combined strength and an army of 200,000, they were completely annihilated in such a short time...

Even if he directly used the Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique to unleash his full power, it would still be nothing more than this, right?

Cang Feng pondered, "Could it be some kind of mutated insectoid monster we've never seen before?"

“No.” Nightsong shook his head: “It shouldn’t have been the Zerg.”

"Not the Zerg?" Ye Bing turned her icy blue eyes to him and said calmly, "Then who else do you think it could be?"

“Sniff…”

Xia Xiyao twitched her nose, as if she had caught a whiff of something in the air.

"Xiaoye, I think... I can smell the scent of an ancient ferocious beast."

Ye Ge looked at her: "A ferocious beast?"

"Yes!" Xia Xiyao nodded vigorously: "It has a very strong ancient ferocious beast aura, and it's very similar to the smell of chaos!"

Ye Ge thought to himself, "If it's a ferocious beast, could it be that Sima Qing has summoned all of his ancient ghosts and gods?"

Given Sima Qing's current state, he should be unable to summon the three twelfth-tier ferocious beasts and demons: Taotie, Qiongqi, and Taowu.

Then it can only be those eleventh-level ghosts and gods?

"Ye Ge...Sir..."

At that moment, a faint sound came, like a candle flickering in the wind.

"Hmm?" Ye Ge thought to herself, "There are still survivors?"

He flashed and instantly appeared at the source of the sound.

Behind the bushes, a woman with a beautiful face, now in a pitiful state, lay dying in a pool of blood.

"Shui Yurou?" Ye Ge was somewhat surprised. It was actually the holy maiden of the water tribe?

He immediately bent down to examine the water tribe saintess's body, and at the same time used the Heavenly Dao System to scan her attribute panel.

Life Expectations: 0.7%

Night Song: "...Good heavens."

Almost all attributes are close to the critical value.

He was truly on the verge of death, barely clinging to life.
