Strongest War Emperor

Comparatively speaking, even the renowned Divine Beast Dragon Clan was a race; in the Human Realm, there were at least dozens, if not hundreds, of them.

But as for Evil Eyes, you couldn’t count all of them in the entire world on two hands!

This just went to show how incredibly rare they were.

Not only were they rare, but they were also extremely dangerous Fierce Beasts, ranking sixth among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts of the Star Continent.

Legend had it that an Evil Eye once evolved into an Evil Eye Tyrant, taking complete control of a nation by erasing the Divine Sense of its people and turning them into its slaves.

It later angered several peerless powerhouses and was annihilated, turned to ash.

That battle was said to be earth-shattering and beyond imagination.

...

The Evil Eye in this canyon should still be an Evil Eye Lord. It hadn’t reached the Transformation Realm of a King of Evil Eyes. Otherwise, even with the Desolate Domain Demon Ape as his right-hand man, Shen Lang would have run as far away as he could.

At that moment, Shen Lang’s eyes lingered on the ground where the countless threads originated.

’Looks like the Evil Eye Lord must be hiding underground, right where these threads are coming from.’

Spiritual Power attacks were formless and invisible. Shen Lang didn’t dare to be careless. He first used the Heaven-Sealing Cauldron to secure his Sea of Consciousness, then woke up Zuo Wentian to set up a protective barrier around its perimeter. Only then did he dare to go after the Evil Eye Lord.

He looked up and laughed in exasperation.

In just that short time, Bone Two had already fought his way to the other side of the canyon, nearly five hundred meters away!

Bone Two was on a mad killing spree. Wherever he went, a large clearing appeared, piled high with Demon Beast corpses. Hardly any of them could withstand a single exchange.

’Fuck me, I’m amazing!’

Bone Two was having the time of his life, practically bursting with joy from the slaughter.

Back at the Profound Dao Sect, they had first been suppressed by the cultivation of the Five War Wolf Commanders, and then there were dozens of King Martial Realm powerhouses to put them in their place. To top it all off, Shen Lang had brought back two more King Martial Realm experts, Zhuge Xian’Er and Yuan Bupu. It had made the four Bone Demons feel utterly useless, as if they were about to be abandoned.

But this time, Bone Two had gone all out, reveling in the unrestrained slaughter. He suddenly felt invincible.

His confidence had finally returned...

And man, did it feel good!

”Idiot, get your ass back here! Who told you to go fighting all the way over there? Are you addicted to killing or something?”

Shen Lang rolled his eyes in exasperation at Bone Two’s triumphant expression.

’A mere Bone Demon at the Xuanwu Realm Fifth Heaven... Do you really think you can slaughter all several thousand of these Demon Beasts? You think your power is endless or what? Give you half a day and you’ll collapse from exhaustion, then you’ll be buried under a mountain of them! Besides, even if you could kill them all, I wouldn’t let you! If you kill them all, the Evil Eye Lord will definitely escape. Where am I supposed to find it then?’

Shen Lang quickly recalled Bone Two.

The moment he recalled Bone Two, Shen Lang turned around and had to laugh again.

The group of mercenaries behind them had actually carved a bloody path and run right up to his side!

These mercenaries were all seasoned veterans. Battle-hardened and experienced, their survival skills were far superior to those of Martial Artists of the same tier from ordinary Sects.

The moment they spotted an invincible, human-shaped war machine like Bone Two cutting a path back and forth, they had, without a second thought, begun to move toward his position.

’So you won’t help us? Fine, we’ll just follow you. You can clear the way...’

And just like that, in less than a dozen minutes, a new formation was born. Bone Two cleared the path at the front, slaughtering everything in his way. Shen Lang and Nalan Ziyun followed in the middle, and behind them came Ling Shaoyi and over eighty mercenaries.

They moved like a giant centipede, zipping over to one side, then zipping over to the other!

In that short time, thanks to Bone Two’s incredible valor, the Jifeng Mercenary Corps finally had a chance to breathe.

The group formed a protective circle around Shen Lang and Nalan Ziyun. Half of their dozen or so Xuanwu Realm powerhouses stood guard on the perimeter, while the other half gathered around Bone Two, acting as his left and right flanks. They fought with such ferocity that blood flew and thousands of beasts shrieked.

But the situation was just too bizarre...

Shen Lang wanted to go after the Evil Eye Lord, so he’d never planned on cooperating with the Mercenary Corps. He never expected them to spontaneously form a battle array with Bone Two as the vanguard, slaughtering the Demon Beasts so badly that they were fleeing in terror.

At this rate, it wouldn’t take long for more than half of the Demon Beasts to be wiped out.

This was not what Shen Lang wanted to see.

If all the Demon Beasts were gone, where was he supposed to find the Evil Eye Lord?

Burrowing into the ground wasn’t exactly his specialty at the moment.

Meanwhile, Shen Lang had commanded Bone Two to fight his way to the location where the threads originated. But before they could even make a move, all the threads suddenly vanished without a trace.

Then, just as suddenly, they re-emerged from the ground a thousand meters away!

The speed was uncanny. Even a King Martial Realm powerhouse would be left in the dust!

”Bone Two, go there! Over there!” Shen Lang had several theories he wanted to test. Without a second thought, he commanded Bone Two to charge in another direction.

Over on their side, Ling Shaoyi and his men were absolutely livid. ’Damn it all! At first, we asked for your help, and you refused! Now we’re helping you, and you’re acting like you’ve lost your minds or something! With us helping, shouldn’t we just break out in one direction? You fight your way over there, then you immediately fight your way back! Even a Xuanwu Realm expert can’t keep this up for long, okay? If this continues, we’re all going to die!’

”Ah, my fair lady,” Ling Shaoyi began, ”do you think we might have Lord Bone Demon lead us in a charge to the north? The Demon Beasts are weaker in that direction. In less than twenty minutes, we could definitely break through.”

Ling Shaoyi assumed Bone Two was Nalan Ziyun’s bodyguard. Although he was furious inside, he wanted to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor in front of the beautiful woman, so he asked with great politeness.

”Shut up!” Shen Lang was currently activating his Silver Eyes of Truth to pinpoint the Evil Eye Lord’s true location. Hearing the man’s words, he couldn’t help but snap, ”If you want to break out, break out on your own. Don’t drag us into it.”

Ling Shaoyi was furious. ”Oh, beautiful lady, we are captivated by your beauty and kindness. However, this little brother you’ve brought along is... not very well-liked. If possible, I’d like to invite you for a private drink—after we break through this encirclement, of course.”

’Fucking hell, who are you calling ’little brother’?’ Shen Lang fumed. ’You’re the little brother! Your whole damn family are little brothers!’

He shot Ling Shaoyi a sideways glare and pointed to the northwest with his right hand. ”Bone Two, charge over there!”

When Ling Shaoyi and his men looked in the direction he was pointing, they were so angry they nearly coughed up blood. The northwest was where the Demon Beasts were most densely concentrated!

Moreover, most of the Demon Beasts over there were the incredibly strong Iron-skinned Barbarian Bulls!

Those beasts were tough-hided with enormous bodies. When they charged, it was like a small mountain on the move. Rushing in that direction wasn’t that just suicide?

”Damn it, kid, don’t be so shameless! We’re the ones protecting you right now!” someone in the Mercenary Corps yelled out.

”That’s right! Lord Bone Demon is so powerful, what right does a punk at the Spirit Martial Realm have to order him around?”

”Lord Bone Demon, you mustn’t listen to him! That kid is trying to get you killed! The Demon Beasts in that direction are packed tight, and they’re really tough...”
