287: Slaughtering pigs and dogs

What kind of person was Ye Kong? How could such a sneak attack possibly harm him?

Not only was Ye Kong's strength terrifying, but his speed was equally so.

"Boom!" Just then, Ye Kong suddenly appeared above the Buddha God's phantom. The Demon-Sealing Soul-Devouring Slash, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, heavily struck the Buddha God's phantom.

"Puchi!" The cold-gleaming prayer beads were instantly shattered by the Demon-Sealing Soul-Devouring Slash, and the Buddha God's phantom also dissipated in the sword's shadow.

After breaking through the Azure Ox's phantom, Ye Kong did not stop. The Demon-Sealing Soul-Devouring Slash struck the Buddha God with the speed of lightning.

"Bang!" In a panic, the Buddha God crossed his hands in front of him to block.

The Demon-Sealing Soul-Devouring Slash consequently struck the Buddha God's crossed arms. These arms were the Buddha God's divine skill, Golden Hands, impervious to blades and spears. However, under the powerful and heavy blow, they slightly bent inwards.

"Puff!" The immense and heavy force penetrated the Buddha God's arms, transferring through them to his entire body. Instantly, the Buddha God spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turning completely bloodless, pale, and weak.

The Buddha God's figure also rapidly plummeted towards the ground like a cannonball, causing a series of rumbling sounds.

"Boom!" The courtyard ground was immediately smashed into a huge, deep pit by the Buddha God's body. For a moment, dust flew and sand swirled.

After sending the Buddha God flying with a single sword strike, Ye Kong's gaze lifted towards the City Lord, who was almost disappearing into the horizon, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

The City Lord saw that the Buddha God was no match for Ye Kong. When Ye Kong unleashed his second sword strike, he had already fled. He knew Ye Kong wouldn't let him go; once the Buddha God was dealt with, it would be his turn.

"Swish!" Ye Kong's figure flickered, and he instantly vanished from his original spot. When he reappeared, he was already behind the City Lord.

The City Lord only felt a chilling wind assailing him from behind, making his hair stand on end and causing a faint, piercing pain.

The City Lord was greatly alarmed and quickly turned his head to look. This glance, far from being insignificant, made his three souls leave his body and his seven soul ascend to heaven.

A sword shadow was rapidly enlarging as it crashed towards him. The aura of death instantly enveloped him, making him unable to move, his expression filled with terror.

"Puchi...!" The City Lord's head burst open like a watermelon, red and white matter scattering everywhere. Then, the City Lord's broken body immediately fell from the sky, heavily crashing onto the ground, motionless, unable to stand up again.

Ye Kong's single sword strike shattered the City Lord's Primordial Spirit, making him completely disappear from this world.

Everyone around was greatly alarmed and began to flee. The entire City Lord's mansion was empty in less than a moment.

Leaving this city, Ye Kong continued south.

Soon, he arrived at the border between the Great Ming Kingdom and the Great Qing Kingdom.

There were also checkpoints here.

Ye Kong thought for a moment and decided to walk through openly.

Ye Kong also wanted to know what the attitude of each kingdom was towards the battle in the Imperial Capital.

Was it true that among the Ten Kingdoms of the Human Race, no one stood on the Emperor's side?

The soldiers responsible for inspections at the Great Qing Kingdom's border were all fierce and menacing.

As soon as Ye Kong walked past, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Ye Kong?"

The soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom were very surprised, not expecting Ye Kong to appear here.

A soldier came up, smiling, and said, "Respected General Ye, please come inside!"

Ye Kong was a little puzzled and asked, "Why, don't you need to inspect me?"

The soldier smiled and said, "That's for others, General Ye is excused!"

Ye Kong didn't prevaricate and walked straight in.

The soldier followed him again and said to Ye Kong, "General Ye's might is known throughout the world. Please stay, General, and allow me to report to General Zhang, who is stationed at the border, to invite General Ye to a banquet!"

Ye Kong immediately became wary. Another invitation?

Earlier, when he passed through the Great Ming Kingdom, he was tricked by him into trying to kill him as a show of loyalty.

What would the current General of the Great Qing Kingdom do?

After thinking about it, Ye Kong decided to stay for now. He wanted to ascertain the attitudes of the Ten Kingdoms along the way to prepare for a future counterattack.

Seeing that Ye Kong agreed, the soldier asked Ye Kong to wait there while he went to report to the General.

When the soldier turned his back, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This scene was keenly detected by Ye Kong's Divine Sense.

Before long, the General of the Great Qing Kingdom stationed there arrived, but he brought his troops.

He was riding a tall horse, charging over with Killing Intent.

"Ye Kong, you brat, hand over your life!"

General Zhang, stationed here, charged on horseback, heading straight for Ye Kong.

Ye Kong sneered, and the blood blade appeared in his hand, immediately exuding Killing Intent.

Taking a few steps, Ye Kong dodged the enemy General's long spear, then with one strike, he cut off the hoof of the warhorse beneath the opponent.

The enemy's horse lost its footing and immediately fell to the ground.

A large group of soldiers hadn't even reacted when Ye Kong, in full view of everyone, placed the blood blade at the enemy General's neck and stopped.

The soldiers quickly stopped their steps, not daring to act rashly.

The enemy General Zhang also felt the coldness on his neck and instantly froze.

Ye Kong snorted coldly and said, "I have no grievances or enmities with you, why do you harm me!"

The blood blade in Ye Kong's hand pressed closer to General Zhang, and a bloodstain immediately appeared on his neck.

He was so scared that he dared not breathe.

General Zhang swallowed and said, "General Ye, I am only following orders; it's not that I want to kill you!"

"What exactly is going on? Explain it clearly to me!"

General Zhang was almost in tears and said, "It's all the orders from the Great Qing Kingdom's Royal Family. If Ye Kong appears, they want to find a way to eliminate him! Or drive him out of the country!"

"Otherwise, they will offend the new master of the Imperial Capital!"

What!

Ye Kong was quite angry. He hadn't expected that the world would indeed be as the Emperor had predicted: they would help whoever won!

He knew that the person in front of him was just a small fry, so he put away the blood blade and kicked him in the face.

General Zhang let out a wail, then got up, not daring to look Ye Kong in the eye, and directly signaled his soldiers to leave.

Ye Kong sighed and continued on his journey.

The Great Ming Kingdom's Royal Family's stance was still uncertain, but the Great Qing Kingdom's Royal Family had already sided with the enemy.

Next was the Dragon Kingdom.

Although Ye Kong believed that Wang Jian would not betray the Emperor, he was unsure of the thoughts of the people below.

Wang Jian did not lead his troops to support the Imperial Capital, presumably because he had no God Protector, so coming would have been useless.

The Dragon Kingdom originally had the Four Great Divine Families protecting it, making its strength extremely powerful.

But it was clear that Wang Jian was currently unable to mobilize them.

Moreover, Ye Kong had a grudge with the Dragon Family and the Ye Family, so his return this time would likely be extremely dangerous.

Arriving at the border between the Great Qing Kingdom and the Dragon Kingdom, there was also a checkpoint set up by the Dragon Kingdom here.

Originally, the Ten Kingdoms of the Human Race did not set up checkpoints against each other, but after the battle in the Imperial Capital and the Emperor's fall, everything changed.

The Ten Kingdoms of the Human Race were mutually suspicious and could not open their borders to each other.
