143: Chapter 2: Attack Bangzi Kingdom and Head to the Capital

Yang Shuo's body trembled upon hearing this. He understood the meaning behind Lord Luo Xiu's words – it was likely that at least half of the Bangzi Country's population would be casualties.

However, he was no longer the naive youth he once was. Although they were all Human Clan members, he knew there were conflicts between different countries.

If they were to kill so many Great Xia people this time, he might feel a little uncomfortable, but if it was the people of Bangzi Country, then he didn't care.

Shadow noticed Yang Shuo's expression and subtly showed approval. Then, he looked at Lord Luo Xiu.

"Lord Luo Xiu, although Bangzi Country is not strong in national power, it belongs to the Great Eagle Country, so any action must be fast or done covertly."

The Great Eagle Country's overall strength was considerably weaker than the Great Xia Country, but it was very fond of recruiting vassal states.

Precisely because of this, the combined strength of the Great Eagle Country and its vassal states was already comparable to that of the Great Xia Country.

Therefore, to ensure the stability of the alliance, if Bangzi Country encountered problems, the Great Eagle Country would definitely intervene.

Lord Luo Xiu smiled confidently upon hearing Shadow's reminder, "I have my own methods!"

Hearing this, Shadow and Yang Shuo exchanged glances and prepared to leave. They still needed to find Luyin, and it seemed they weren't needed here.

"In that case, Lord Luo Xiu, we shall take our leave. There is still one person we haven't notified, and we need to complete Master's task as quickly as possible."

"Go!"

Lord Luo Xiu waved his hand and said nothing. Shadow then took out a communicator, the same as the one he had given to Galan.

"Lord Luo Xiu, this is our communicator. You can contact me if anything happens."

"Oh?"

Lord Luo Xiu looked at the device with interest. Upon opening it, he found contact information for three people: Shadow, Yang Shuo, and Galan.

"You've met Galan?"

"Yes."

"What is her current Realm?"

"Uh..."

Shadow hesitated for a moment before shaking his head, "I did not see Lord Galan make a move, so I do not know her current cultivation level."

Lord Luo Xiu put away the communicator with a hint of disappointment, "If there's nothing else, you may leave. If you see Master, contact me."

"Understood!"

Afterward, Shadow and Yang Shuo left. Lord Luo Xiu just watched quietly without making any movement.

After an unknown amount of time, Blood Demon spoke up to remind him, "King, are we going directly to Bangzi Country now?"

There seemed to be a hint of excitement in his tone. Beside him, Sky Demon and Flame Demon's eyes were also burning with fervor.

Having been transformed by Demon Flame, they could naturally accumulate energy and become stronger through slaughter, which was evident from Flame Demon.

Previously, he was only at Martial Grandmaster first level, and in less than a year, he had already broken through three levels, entering the mid-stage of Martial Grandmaster. This was a truly significant leap.

The Demonic Beasts below were even more so. Currently, under Lord Luo Xiu's command, there were three mid-stage Martial Grandmaster Demonic Beasts, over a dozen Early Stage Martial Grandmaster ones, nearly a thousand Martial General Realm ones, and tens of thousands of Martial Master Realm ones.

As for those below the Martial Master Realm, apologies, they had long been devoured by other Demonic Beasts.

Even their own kind would not be spared; this was the survival rule of Demonic Beasts.

Lord Luo Xiu looked in the direction of Bangzi Country, a smile also appearing on his face, "Push forward all the way. If I cannot reach Wu Zong Peak before arriving, then you will sacrifice yourselves!"

"Yes!"

The Three Demon Generals and those Martial Grandmaster Realm Demonic Beasts responded in unison. With a wave of Lord Luo Xiu's hand, this terrifying force began to advance like a gluttonous beast.

These Demonic Beasts were all Lord Luo Xiu's energy reservoirs. He could absorb the energy within their bodies at any time to nourish himself.

If he were to absorb all of them now, he would at most reach the mid-stage of Martial Grandmaster ninth level, still some distance from Wu Zong Peak.

Therefore, he must continue the slaughter. Unless sacrificing could allow him to directly break through to Martial Lord, he would absolutely not do so.

"You stinky mantis, just wait to be truly crushed by me, hahahaha!"

...

"Ahhhhh!"

Sun City in Sakura Country, the screams in the city gradually subsided, which also meant that the slaughter was about to end.

After waiting for a few more days, the slaughter that had lasted for half a month finally stopped.

"Greetings, Master!"

Two figures flashed and arrived. These two were naturally Edo Ichi and Yamamura Ichiro.

At this moment, they were covered in blood. The blood seemed to have coagulated, forming scabs sticking to their bodies.

As the two moved, a strong smell of blood assailed them.

"Not bad, you have both reached Martial Grandmaster eighth level, and are close to Martial Grandmaster ninth level."

Li Wuji nodded in satisfaction, "Then let me help you again."

The next moment, outside Sun City, the tens of thousands of Ninja who had been like statues suddenly twitched.

Strands of black energy, like threads, flew out from their bodies, like streams flowing towards Edo Ichi and Yamamura Ichiro.

These black lines intertwined in the air, forming a huge net that enveloped the two.

As time passed, the Aura of the two became increasingly strong. Their bodies were entangled by the black lines, as if they had become one entity.

The black lines continuously flowed into their bodies, causing their momentum to constantly rise.

In contrast, the bodies of the tens of thousands of Ninja underwent astonishing changes.

Their originally robust and full bodies gradually withered, their skin became loose, and their muscles lost their elasticity.

Their faces were contorted, revealing expressions of pain, and in the depths of their eyes, a hint of despair even flashed, as if they knew the fate they were about to face but were unable to resist.

They could only silently endure all of this, waiting for death to arrive.

"Rumble!"

At this moment, the Aura on Edo Ichi and Yamamura Ichiro's bodies erupted violently.

Their bodies trembled fiercely, and a powerful force surged out from within them.

This force was like a volcanic eruption, instantly sweeping across the entire battlefield.

Martial Grandmaster Realm ninth level, achieved!

The two finally broke through to the Martial Grandmaster Realm ninth level and even took a big step towards Wu Zong Peak.

Two powerful Auras soared into the sky. Edo Ichi and Yamamura Ichiro respectfully bowed again.

"Thank you, Master!"

Li Wuji glanced at the two and shook his head imperceptibly, "Martial Grandmasters achieved this way are like rootless duckweed, too weak."

However, now was a time when people were needed, so he could only make do. He then looked indifferently at the city below, which had turned into a dead city, and the tens of thousands of Ninja who had become mummified corpses.

"Let's go!"

With that, Li Wuji and the two others transformed into three streaks of rainbow light and flew towards the Capital of Sakura Country.

After they left, after an unknown period of time, the previously quiet coastline suddenly became turbulent.

Immediately after, Sea Beasts rushed out of the waves like mad, charging towards Sun City.

Behind them, a lobster-shaped Sea Beast over a dozen zhang tall slowly emerged.

"Kill!"
