"Ah, this, this…" Watching his own body rapidly wither away, that general's eyes filled with shock, confusion, and fear, then turned to utter despair. "Th-this… how is this possible?"
"This is very possible. This is called a moth throwing itself into the fire, got it? Heh." Wang Xiaoqiang gave a playful, cold laugh, waved a hand gesture, and a streak of radiance was instantly drawn out of that general's body, shooting toward him.
The moment the radiance burst out, that general's body whooshed apart, turning into flying ash and vanishing completely, just like a moth in the flames, not even a scrap of corpse left.
That streak of radiance plunged into Wang Xiaoqiang's body. After taking in that general's Power of Glory, Wang Xiaoqiang quickly sat cross-legged atop Hanging Mountain and began absorbing it. In the end, that Power of Glory turned into blue Sword Light, merging into the Light and Shadow Divine Sword's Sword Body. The Light and Shadow Divine Sword's blue Sword Light swelled stronger…
At this time, Wang Xiaogang also began absorbing. With a wave of his hand gesture, that colossal Demon Power Orb which had swallowed over a hundred thousand soldiers started spinning. Those hundreds of thousands of men were just like thrown into a meat grinder, shredded into minced flesh and blood foam, and from within, large amounts of Soul and Spirit were flung out…
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang's arms shook, and Essence Blood surged out, forming a Taiji Diagram outside his body, a Blood-Colored Taiji.
The Taiji Diagram spun without pause, and a suction force surged out of thin air. The Taiji Diagram rumbled as it turned, aiming at that Demon Power Orb. A powerful devouring force pulled those Soul and Spirit over. Those souls turned into ghastly faces, letting out shrill screams and howls, struggling desperately, yet unable to break free from that vast suction.
In the end, those streaks of Soul and Spirit were all sucked into the Essence Blood of the Taiji Diagram, entered Wang Xiaoqiang's body, and were drawn into the Sword Body of the Light and Shadow Divine Sword, condensing into blue Sword Light…
And just as Wang Xiaoqiang was condensing blue Sword Light, the Ancient Demon also opened its mouth wide and sucked toward that Demon Power Orb. Instantly, the flesh and blood in the Demon Power Orb formed a long stream and was devoured into the Ancient Demon's mouth.
The Ancient Demon greedily gulped it down. It hadn't eaten anyone these days, and now it could finally enjoy itself. Moreover, this flesh and blood smashed into foam didn't even need chewing, and there was no fear of choking. It went down as smoothly as drinking meat juice.
"Hahahahahaaaaa~~~~~ Big Bro, today is just too damn爽~~~~~" The Ancient Demon laughed wildly as it gulped down the meat juice.
Absorbing Soul and Spirit to condense Sword Light like this wasn't proper spirit-condensing Cultivation, so Wang Xiaoqiang could afford to split his attention for a bit. He laughed as well. "Haha, yeah, I'm爽 too. Running into these Barbarian Kingdom barbarians, how could we not爽? I just don't know if it'll still be this爽 when we hit the Snow Wolf Empire. If it's still this爽, I figure our brothers' strength can both skyrocket…"
Wang Xiaogang said, "The Snow Wolf Empire's werewolf troops all evolved from wolves into humans, right? Since they've formed human shape, they should also be human flesh and blood, and should be human Soul and Spirit. Whether it's flesh or soul, the quality shouldn't be bad."
"Mm, let's hope so," Wang Xiaoqiang said, then didn't dare split his attention any further and focused on refining.
The Soul and Spirit of over a hundred thousand Ancient God Sun God Warriors contained immense energy, enough to help him break through to the Celestial God Cultivation Base, though it still required some time.
To Wang Xiaoqiang, Cultivation Base was the most important thing; he had always placed Cultivation first. So now he didn't mind wasting time and continued condensing…
After consuming the Soul and Spirit of tens of thousands, the Light and Shadow Divine Sword's blue Sword Light finally finished condensing. Yet he didn't stop; he continued to absorb Soul and Spirit to condense purple Sword Light, making the final sprint of the Ancient God stage…
At last, after he absorbed another hundred thousand souls, that purple Sword Light was finally condensed…
Just as Wang Xiaoqiang had finished condensing the seventh strand of Sword Light, stepping into the Ninth Realm of the Ancient God and preparing to transform qi into gang in one go to achieve Celestial God, another three hundred thousand troops from the Barbarian Kingdom chased up…
Wang Xiaoqiang had no choice but to stop his Cultivation and prepare to face the enemy.
"Hm? A powerhouse at the Great Power Realm—should be the Barbarian Empire's Sovereign personally leading the army." Wang Xiaogang sensed that among the Barbarian Kingdom's troops there was a Great Power Realm, surrounded by a dozen Celestial Gods, and made this guess.
Wang Xiaoqiang said disdainfully, "Two hundred Great Powers have already been beaten off by us. You think I'd be scared of one Barbarian Kingdom Monarch?"
"Leave that one Great Power and the dozen Celestial God powerhouses to me. Those hundreds of thousands of troops are still yours…" Wang Xiaoqiang said.
Wang Xiaogang asked doubtfully, "Big Bro, you alone can handle them?"
"I count as a Half-Step Heavenly God now. I've also got a Patterned Beast and the Prosperity and Decline Technique. Dealing with them shouldn't be a problem." As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, his Willpower moved, and he released the Patterned Beast.
Once out, the Patterned Beast stretched its limbs, and with each movement its joints crackled like Heavenly Thunder, deafening, its aura shaking the heavens.
At this time Wang Xiaoqiang was at the Seventh Realm of the Ancient God, Half-Step Heavenly God. Accordingly, the Patterned Beast also possessed the strength of the Seventh Realm of the Ancient God. Coupled with its bag of Strange Arts, dealing with those Celestial Gods was no problem at all.
Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang release the Patterned Beast, Wang Xiaogang no longer hesitated either. His Willpower moved, and below, the Ancient Demon opened its great mouth and spat out an even larger mass of demonic power. That Demon Power Orb shot toward the three hundred thousand troops at high speed.
Before the Barbarian Kingdom's army could react, the Demon Power Orb had already charged into them and erupted with overwhelming suction. Three hundred thousand troops were sucked in like sparrows, just like birds entering a cage—only in, no out…
Of course, this time there were still some cowards who seized the chance to flee.
But the Barbarian Kingdom's Sovereign and the dozen Celestial God powerhouses did not run. Instead, they charged toward Hanging Mountain. Wang Xiaoqiang gave them no chance to get close. He leapt onto the Patterned Beast's back. The Patterned Beast roared, spread its wings, and took to the sky, rushing straight at the Barbarian Kingdom Monarch and the dozen Great Powers…
Facing a Great Power and more than a dozen Celestial Gods, Wang Xiaoqiang felt some pressure. He was afraid of being surrounded and attacked from both front and back. Standing on the Patterned Beast's back, he took out the Sun-Shooting Bow and three Explosive Divine Body Arrows, nocking all three onto the Sun-Shooting Bow. Divine Patterns flickered and flowed across the bow, then poured onto the three arrows.
Wang Xiaoqiang took a deep breath and drew the Bow and Arrow. The three arrows were ready to be loosed. Divine Patterns flowed ever more violently across them, their radiance growing brighter and brighter… just like lit fuses, giving off a sense of urgency and fear right before an explosion.
Though the Barbarian Kingdom Monarch and the dozen Great Powers were charging toward Hanging Mountain, all of their attention was on the Ancient Demon below, because they all sensed how terrifying the Ancient Demon was. They completely ignored Wang Xiaoqiang, who only had Ancient God Cultivation.
Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang drawing the bow and shooting, not a single one of them made any defense. They only sped up their charge. Once they killed Wang Xiaoqiang and captured the Demon Spirit Wang Xiaogang, they could control the battlefield and take the victory.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoooosh~~~~~~~
The three arrows were loosed together, shooting toward the Barbarian Kingdom Monarch and the dozen Celestial God powerhouses.
The Barbarian Kingdom Monarch and the dozen Great Powers not only didn't dodge, they even revealed looks of disdain and amusement, each stretching out a hand, trying to catch the three arrows and snap them in half…
