228: Lure the enemy

Liu Che, Wen Gan, and Xue Ruyu all widened their eyes.

Ye Kong actually said he wanted to hunt an Alien God?

Although he had mastered a part of the Great Dao of the Gods and could be considered a Half-Step God, Ye Kong was still at the Peak Honored One Realm, not an Alien God.

A saying had always circulated among the great families:

Below an Alien God, all are ants! How could Ye Kong 'hunt' an Alien God?

Xue Ruyu immediately objected, saying, "Ye Kong, you are being brave but foolish!"

"I have to admit that you have created many miracles, breaking our understanding again and again."

"But an Alien God is an Alien God, the supreme and strongest combat power in the world. This has never been shaken by anyone."

"Ye Kong, you have fought against so many Alien Gods on the Ten Thousand Race Battlefield. Shouldn't you be the clearest about this?"

Liu Che and Wen Gan also looked at Ye Kong with great concern.

"Thank you, Commander Xue."

Ye Kong's eyes became even more determined. He clenched his fist and said, "However, if we cannot kill the Alien Gods, what good is it to merely reclaim lost territory? When we leave, won't the Foreign Race just seize this place again?"

"We must seize the opportunity, before the Foreign Race has fully reacted, to defeat a few Alien Gods and reduce the pressure of confronting the Foreign Race in the future."

"And this risk of confronting the Foreign Race will be borne by me, Ye Kong."

Hearing this, Wen Gan stepped forward, patted his chest, and said, "General Ye, since you insist on challenging an Alien God, I, your humble subordinate, am willing to go with you!"

"Liu Che can lead the Xiandeng Camp to lure the enemy, Commander Xue can stay behind to guard the camp, and I can go with you."

Ye Kong quickly said, "Absolutely not, General Wen Gan. I appreciate your intention, but this journey to confront an Alien God is extremely perilous. You only have Martial Saint strength, and the gap between you and an Alien God is too great."

Seeing that Ye Kong was determined to challenge an Alien God, the others no longer tried to persuade him.

The person in question was Ye Kong, the man who had created countless miracles and was renowned throughout the world.

Xue Ruyu looked into Ye Kong's eyes and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Ye Kong. Regardless of success or failure, you must come back alive!"

Ye Kong nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry!"

...Before setting out, Ye Kong asked Liu Che to hand him his saber.

Liu Che was a little surprised and asked, "General Ye, you previously reinforced the weapons of over a thousand of our soldiers. We were already amazed, having never seen such a secret art."

"However, those were Profound Rank treasures, so I suppose it wasn't too difficult. But this is an Earth Rank treasure of mine, called the 'Suspended Head Horse-Cutting Saber'. Can this also be reinforced?"

Ye Kong showed a cunning glint in his eyes and said, "General Liu, you are undertaking the mission of luring the enemy, with the goal of forcing out the Alien Gods. This journey is extremely dangerous and full of difficulties. How can I let you go into battle with an Earth Rank treasure?"

"I learned a secret technique on the Ten Thousand Race Battlefield that can reinforce treasures, but it consumes some True Qi, and the reinforcement Rank is also random, so it's not a good skill."

"General Liu, just trust me and give me your weapon!"

Ye Kong did not reveal the System's existence, only saying that it was a skill he had learned, and that it had significant flaws.

But even so, Liu Che felt quite excited and immediately handed over his saber.

If it were anyone else, Liu Che certainly wouldn't believe it. How could there be a Cultivation Technique in this world that could reinforce treasures? Not even an Alien God could do that!

But since it was Ye Kong who said it, Liu Che believed him. If Ye Kong said he found a Cultivation Technique, then it must be so.

Ye Kong was a man who created miracles.

Ye Kong took Liu Che's Horse-Cutting Saber and hid in the shadows.

"System, reinforce this Horse-Cutting Saber, ten times!"

"Ding—"

[Detected Intermediate Earth Rank treasure, Suspended Head Horse-Cutting Saber]

[Reinforcing Suspended Head Horse-Cutting Saber ten times, Energy Value consumed: 20,000,000]

[Current balance: 20,460,473,2]

"Confirm!"

"Ding—"

[Reinforcement successful]

The Suspended Head Horse-Cutting Saber in Ye Kong's hand glowed brightly, and its shape underwent subtle changes. The edge of the blade became transparent like a diamond.

Ye Kong knew this was called adamantine!

Ye Kong touched the blade and thought, 'What a good saber!' So he went back and handed the saber to Liu Che.

Liu Che looked at it, and like Ye Kong, first touched the blade to feel it.

Afterward, his eyes became incredibly fervent: "It really has been reinforced! What a good saber! General Ye is truly a celestial being!"

"With such methods, even as a treasure craftsman, he would surely achieve the greatest accomplishments in this world!"

Ye Kong was stunned. He hadn't thought of this option before. Becoming a treasure-crafting artisan, perhaps that would also be a good choice?

Ye Kong suddenly felt there was a huge business opportunity here.

However, for now, they had to first confront the threat of the Foreign Race.

After resting, General Liu Che of the Xiandeng Camp led his army out to begin the Alien God hunting plan. Ye Kong also disguised himself as a Xiandeng Death Soldier and set off with the army.

Ye Kong had fought against Alien Gods many times, so he naturally understood their power.

In this battle, he had to seize the initiative!

The Foreign Race currently only knew that the Human Rebellion Quelling Army had come to reclaim lost territory and that the army was from the Imperial Capital, but they did not know who was leading the troops.

This way, he might be able to catch the Alien Gods by surprise! Soon, Liu Che led the Xiandeng Camp to the foot of the mountain range. Many members of the Foreign Race immediately appeared around them.

"Humans, you've already gained an advantage, yet you dare to invade our territory!"

The members of the Foreign Race roared in the mountains and forests. Throughout the entire mountain range, the True Qi of the Foreign Race surged, creating a mighty momentum.

Ye Kong looked at these enraged members of the Foreign Race and concluded that there must be an Alien God stationed here. Otherwise, facing the Rebellion Suppression Army that had swept through eight hundred li, who wouldn't be terrified?

Liu Che, riding a tall horse, raised his saber and pointed at the various members of the Foreign Race, saying, "You are nothing but chickens and dogs, mere rats! Who dares to duel with me?"

Liu Che was not in a hurry to attack. The purpose of this trip was to draw out the Alien Gods.

"I know your Rebellion Suppression Army is formidable. I, Meng Bian, have been waiting here for a long time!"

Suddenly, a roar came from the mountains, and a powerful aura was released.

It was a Foreign Race Revered One!

Liu Che immediately said, "All soldiers, form your Ranks, prepare to defend against the enemy!"

"All Martial Saints, stand at the front!"

As Liu Che gave the order, all the Martial Saint powerhouses among the Xiandeng Death Soldiers moved to the front, and the entire Xiandeng Camp quickly formed a formation.

This was the "Xiandeng Formation" taught by the Emperor, allowing everyone to work together. Their combined combat power could contend with an Honored One!

The Foreign Race Revered One, Meng Bian, wore a strange outfit, with his upper body exposed and two human heads tied to his waist.

"Do you see? This is what happens to your Human Race!"

Meng Bian pointed to the two human heads at his waist, full of provocation! Liu Che was very angry. He suppressed his rage, knowing he couldn't let anger cloud his judgment.

He had to be calm. He had to force out their Alien Gods!

Liu Che stood with his saber drawn and cursed, "When it comes to the skill of killing, I am indeed not as good as you. But for members of the Foreign Race like you, no matter how high your skill, you can only become souls under my blade!"

Meng Bian, as an Honored One, had never suffered such disrespect from the Human Race. Hearing Liu Che's words, he gritted his teeth, let out a loud roar, and charged forward.

Liu Che leaped into the air, slashed out with his saber, and shouted, "Perfect timing!"
