Chapter 37: Greetings, Lord Heavenly General!

Splat!

Blood splattered!

The corpse of a rank-two Shadowcat was cut in half at the waist and dropped to the ground.

[Ding!]

[You have killed a Feral. Strength + 20kg.]The three daily [Combat EXP] had been refreshed, but there did not seem to be a daily limit for the increase in strength gained from killing Ferals!

Including the rank-three canine Feral just now, it was the fifth Feral Jiang He had slain today, and it still improved his power!

That was what Jiang He had been worried about before.

Now, however, he was overjoyed and could not help exclaiming —"Wuhu!"

"It's time to take off!"

He raised his saber and slashed down, killing another ferocious beast!

[Ding!]

[You have killed a Feral. Strength + 10kg.][Strength: 8860kg]Jiang He's strength was steadily improving.

His Qi and blood had become even more powerful, and his physique had become even stronger. Although he didn't know those fancy martial arts moves, when his physical strength of nearly nine tons was unleashed through a 880 kilogram S-class war saber, how powerful would it be?

[Ding!]

[You have killed a Feral. Strength + 20.]

[Ding!]

[You have killed a Feral. Strength + 10.]

[Ding …]

Ferals below rank-four would die at the slightest touch, beheaded or cut in half at the waist.

Even a rank-four cat-type Feral had its head cut in half by Jiang He's blade!

[Ding!]

[You have killed a Feral. Strength + 40k.]Jiang He's psychiatric gown was completely dyed the color of blood.

Corpses of Ferocious Beasts lay all around him. In just a few moments, seven grade-one Ferocious Beasts, five grade-two Ferocious Beasts, three grade-three Ferocious Beasts, and one grade-four Ferocious Beast had died under his saber.

The remaining Ferals appeared to be stunned.

All of them stopped and surrounded Jiang He, baring their fangs and glaring at him with a ferocious glint. They growled, but did not dare to attack him.

It was at this moment that Wu Xingchen arrived with his Star Squad.

The Ferals turned and fled.

"Trying to run?"

"Did you ask me?"

Jiang He roared and threw out his combat blade. The 880-catty S-grade alloy combat blade turned into a flash and pinned a rank-three Feral to the ground.

"Ding!"

"You have killed a vicious beast, Strength + 30kg."

Striding forward and drawing his blade, Jiang He looked up to find that the Ferals were running even faster than before. It was as if each of them had gone berserk, and the slowest of them was already over four hundred meters away. There was a lot of trash on the road in the first place, kicking up dust and gravel everywhere!

He turned around to look at Wu Xingchen and the others.

Jiang He gave up on the chase and walked up to him, blade in hand, asking, "What were you saying, Captain Wu?"

It was as if Wu Xingchen did not hear Jiang He's question.

He and the other members of his team looked as if they had been struck by lightning as they stared blankly at the corpses of the fierce beasts on the ground. Gasps could be heard one after another.

"This …"

"So many?"

The rank-three martial artist who had been clamoring to teach Jiang He a lesson gulped, feeling his throat dry and his scalp numb … How long had it been?

They went downstairs.

Ran up to him.

Around two kilometers away …At most, it took less than 30 seconds!

In less than thirty seconds, Jiang He alone had killed so many Ferals. He had even seen from afar how Jiang He had thrown his blade and impaled the rank-three Feral.

That image kept flashing in his mind.

It left him chills all over, and he could not help feeling as if he had survived a calamity!

"I'm such a fool … I actually wanted to teach Jiang He a lesson!"

It's lucky that the captain stopped me, or I would have been maimed even if I wasn't dead!

"Captain Wu …"

"Captain Wu?"

Jiang He called out a few times before Wu Xingchen came to his senses.

"Captain Wu, what were you shouting just now?"

"I was too focused on killing the Ferals to hear you clearly," Jiang He replied.

"There's an underground garage under the square ahead, and there's a rank-five mutated Two-Headed Lion Mastiff there. It's extremely powerful … I wanted to warn you, Mister Jiang, but now it seems that my warning was unnecessary."

Calming himself, Wu Xingchen said, "Would you be afraid of that beast with your ability, Mister Jiang?"

Invisibly.

Wu Xingchen had changed the way he addressed Jiang He from 'Brother Jiang He' to 'Mister Jiang He'.

A fifth-grade mutated Direbeast, the Double-Headed Lion Mastiff?

"I heard that mutated Ferals are much stronger than normal Ferals of the same tier," Jiang He replied. "I'm still no match for rank-five mutated Ferals … Thank you for your reminder, Captain Wu, or I would have charged over and lost my life to the Two-Headed Lion Mastiff!"

Eh?

Two-headed …

Lion mastiff?

Jiang He could not help becoming puzzled inwardly.

It was understandable that he had two heads, but mutation …It was reasonable for it to grow an extra head, but what was a "lion mastiff"?

Was it a cross between a lion and a Tibetan mastiff?

Jiang He was very eager to learn more about Ferals, which was why he asked about it. Wu Xingchen replied, "It's said that one of the Tibetan mastiffs is the lion mastiff … this two-headed lion mastiff might have mutated from it."

Since there was a big guy up ahead.

Then there was no need to take the risk.

There were plenty of Ferocious Beasts in the wilderness. It was the same if they went elsewhere to kill them.

Jiang He glanced at the Feral corpses on the ground and said, "You've come just in time, Captain Wu … please take stock of the Feral corpses and give me a list when you get back. I'm in a hurry, so I'll keep killing Ferals."

Taking out the Twenty-Four Flavor Rehmannia Pills from his pocket, Jiang He showed off three of them.

Then, he walked towards the wilderness outside the city.

"Ding!"

"Use the right medicine. Strength + 10kg."

…

Meanwhile.

Wu City.

Anning Psychiatric Rehabilitation Center, Inpatient Department, 4th floor, VIP ward.

"No!"

"I'm not sick … I'm not taking medicine!"

The yellow-haired Zhuang Shuai's face was filled with fear. He wanted to resist, but his Eldest Senior Brother's instructions appeared in his mind … He must never reveal his identity as a martial artist!

Hence …

Under the suppression of the specially hired nurse's 1100kg arm strength, Zhuang Shuai finally took the medicine prescribed by the doctor.

The nurse pushed the medicine cart out.

Zhuang Shuai couldn't hold it in any longer. He clasped his throat with his hand, wanting to spit out the medicine.

Outside the door.

The chubby nurse peeked through a crack in the door and took out her notebook to write, "Patient Zhuang Shuai of Ward 404 has a strong resistance to taking medicine. To prevent him from spitting out the medicine, it is recommended that he take it orally instead of by injection."

Naturally, Zhuang Shuai was not aware of the chubby nurse's' notebook '.

After spitting out the medicine, he called Xiang Rongshan in tears.

"Eldest Senior Brother."

"Boo-hoo … I want to return to the dojo."

"Jiang He isn't in the hospital anyway. Why leave me here to suffer?"

Xiang Rongshan said, "Junior Brother, this is Master's order … you can ask him if you have any questions."

"Master is in seclusion."

"Alright, I'm hanging up since I have other things to do."

At the moment.

He was sitting in a modified off-road vehicle.

The driver was a disciple of the Rumbling Thunder Dojo.

That disciple was rather jumpy and had badmouthed Xiang Rongshan more than once behind his back. Xiang Rongshan was well aware of that but did not say anything, instead showing that he valued the disciple and even asked him to help him drive.

The off-road vehicle left the city and headed deep into the wildlands, taking a route that led to the ruins of Martial Spirit City where Jiang He was at the moment.

Still, the off-road vehicle did not enter the city when it approached it. Instead, it turned right at a junction outside the city and headed east along the bumpy road …That was Ningdong Town, the former top town of the Western Xia Province and one of the thirteen major coal bases in the country.

Still, over thirty years ago, the rich town that was filled with coal resources had become a playground for Ferals!

Further east of Ningdong Town was a chain of mountains, and beyond that was the Maowusu Desert. There were no signs of human habitation for thousands of miles … and it was under such conditions that in Ningdong Town …there were many high-ranked Ferals living there!

A Feral King was even born here, and 18 years ago, it incited a Feral Swarm to attack Wu City!

It was a terrible battle, with untold numbers of martial artists and soldiers dying to the Feral Swarm. It was fortunate that a grandmaster guarding the town burned his own life force to reach Divine Transcendence in a short time, slaying the Feral King and repelling the Feral Swarm!

The driver was trembling.

His legs were trembling slightly, and he said with trepidation, "Eldest Senior Brother …we…we aren't going to Ningdong Town, right? There are high-ranked Ferals there. Wouldn't we be getting ourselves killed if we go? "

Xiang Rongshan, however, appeared composed. "Something went wrong with Master's cultivation. His veins are in a mess and he is injured, and he needs a certain spirit medicine to cure it … and that spirit medicine could only be found in the abandoned mines near Ningdong Town."

Unflinching in the face of death, he said, "What's a little risk for Master?"

Over an hour later.

The car drove into Ningdong Town.

This small town was now a ruin, and the number of Fierce Beasts in the town was much more than the Fierce Beasts in the ruins of the Spirit Martial City … Especially some of the enormous Fierce Beasts, whose bodies emitted an aura that caused one's heart to palpitate. Obviously, their ranks were not low.

The disciple that Xiang Rongshan brought was almost in tears.

Xiang Rongshan, however, was not in a hurry. He took out a strange incense, lit it, and walked out of the off-road vehicle with the incense in hand.

The strange thing was that the Ferals that had originally surrounded them seemed to have smelled something terrible, and they all dispersed.

In the car.

The disciple's eyes were wide open, and his face was full of disbelief.

This …

What kind of incense was this?

It had the ability to drive away Ferals?

There was no lack of fifth-grade and sixth-grade Ferals among those Ferals!

He got out of the car and asked, "Senior Brother, what's this? It has such an effect? "

Xiang Rongshan glanced at the disciple and said calmly, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

That disciple felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't help but think, "What's going on … Senior Brother today seems to be different from usual. His eyes are so terrifying!"

Xiang Rongshan stuck the incense into the ground and waited quietly.

About five minutes later …Huala!

The sound of something breaking through the air rang out.

A figure shrouded in black robes appeared before Xiang Rongshan. The figure radiated with a frightening presence. With his back to Xiang Rongshan and his hands behind his back, he said nonchalantly, "Xiang Rongshan, what are you doing here?"

Without waiting for Xiang Rongshan to speak, the dojo disciple behind him cried out in fear.

"Heavenly Demon Cult …"

"Eldest Senior Brother, it's the cultists of the Sky Demon Cult …"

Bang!

Xiang Rongshan killed the disciple with a backhand slap, then hurriedly knelt on one knee and said, "Xiang Rongshan pays his respects to the Divine General!"
