One pound of meat equals one attribute point

Jiangbeizhou, Cambrian Pass.

Boom!

A loud earth-shaking sound, the ground trembled violently.

The city wall built with Yaoshi and engraved with ancient array patterns collapsed with a loud bang, splashing smoke and dust.

The golden halo in the smoke and dust surged outward like a tide, and the powerful blood broke through the sky. One after another, huge arhats like bronze sculptures stepped in from the khaki smoke and dust. They were six feet tall, and although they had not reached the level of heavenly strangeness, their strong physiques made them difficult to be injured by swords.

The spears, crossbows and other sharp weapons in the hands of the demon-suppressing army fell on the bodies of these golden arhats, leaving only dents on them, and the sound of metal colliding was heard.

And the lethality brought by the arhats with such a huge body on the battlefield is simply immeasurable.

With a casual swing of his arms, a large number of soldiers and horses were thrown to the ground.

Then they were directly trampled into meat paste and died on the spot.

Swish!

A black light passed through the battlefield.

Li Lingxiu, bloodstained, eyes red, appeared angrily on a temporary observation tower behind the battlefield.

Standing here, you can almost see the tragic panorama of the battlefield.

In the middle of the observation tower is a middle-aged general with a broad body and three meters high. He is wearing a bronze armor with exotic beast patterns, a square face, and a restrained brilliance in his eyes. This man is called Yuan Hong. He is the general of Zhenbei appointed by the court to be responsible for full management and coordination of various forces.

Yuan Hong has a square and friendly face.

At first glance, he looks very easy to get along with.

But after staying with him for a long time, you will slowly find that this person is stubborn and a standard old-fashioned.

There are several generals holding large flags and guards holding long swords beside Yuan Hong.

Seeing Li Lingxiu coming angrily.

Two guards stepped forward to stop him.

As a result, the strength of Li Lingxiu's body shook "bang".

The wooden platform shook violently and creaked. The two guards staggered and almost flew out.

Yuan Hong put down a secret letter in his hand and lingered on Li Lingxiu with his narrowed eyes.

Then he smiled, "Why did my nephew come here in anger?"

"Why didn't the general move his troops while the soldiers were fighting in front?" Li Lingxiu's face was livid, and he clasped his fists to suppress his anger.

"If you don't know the truth and rashly mobilize troops, you may repeat the same mistakes." Facing Li Lingxiu's questioning, Yuan Hong was not annoyed at all, and said calmly, "What's more, in the seven states of Jiang and E, there are your four major families and three major immortal sects. A mere Skull Plain should not be a big deal."

"You!" Li Lingxiu's eyes were slightly cold.

His pair of iron fists were clenched and creaked, and the muscles on his face were tense. Several guards around him looked at him nervously.

Only Yuan Hong seemed to have figured out the truth, with an unfathomable smile on his face.

Li Lingxiu was born in a top wealthy family.

Although he was devoted to martial arts.

But he was not completely ignorant of the twists and turns in the local and imperial court.

A few days ago, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty explored Changshengtian and returned seriously injured. As time passed, the injury not only did not heal, but it became more serious. The conflicts among the heirs of the imperial court became more and more acute, and the overall strength of the royal family began to weaken.

In addition, the echo of Changshengtian deepened, and ancient forces such as the "Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom" in various places revived.

The imperial court clearly wanted to consume these local forces and border barbarians that were too big to be eliminated, so that it could reap the benefits.

But raising a tiger like this is a threat, aren't you afraid that you will lose everything if you are not careful?

Is the thousand-year foundation of the ancestors destroyed in an instant?

"I know that General Yuan Hong is loyal to the imperial court, but can you just watch the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty being displaced and dying tragically under the barbarians' front?" Li Lingxiu took a deep breath and couldn't help questioning.

"War is not without death." Yuan Hong waved his hand and said lightly.

Hearing this, Li Lingxiu was furious and wanted to punch Yuan Hong in the face.

But he inhaled and exhaled hard, repeating it twice.

The only remaining trace of rationality still forced such an impulse to be suppressed.

He was the commander of the Jiangzhou Demon Suppression Army on the surface, but the identity of the heir of the Jiangzhou Li family could not be removed from him anyway. His every move outside, especially in such a critical situation, represented his family.

Li Lingxiu knew that he could not twist his arm against his thigh by himself.

But the family...

Li Lingxiu shook his head. He really didn't know what choice the old guys in his family would make.

Should I choose to forge ahead bravely or continue to hide from the world?

"Since the general insists on this, I will take my leave first!" The more Li Lingxiu thought about it, the more upset he felt.

He bowed to Yuan Hong.

"No need to see you off." Yuan Hong nodded slightly, his expression expressionless.

Li Lingxiu's figure flashed, turned around and left, disappeared from the high platform in the blink of an eye, and returned to the battlefield.

On the high platform.

A flag-holding general behind Yuan Hong gently pinched his thumb and index finger.

A trace of light golden dust was lightly spread and stained on Li Lingxiu. Yuan Hong seemed to notice it and looked down.

But he shook his head and hummed softly, but he didn't react at all, just pretending that he didn't see it.

...

Jiangzhou, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters.

In the gloomy hall built with bones and human skin.

Kuilang Xingjun reported what happened in Jiangbeizhou to the Corpse Mountain Lord on the Skull Throne.

The demonic aura on the corpse mountain master's body was so strong that it turned into black mist. Only a pair of cold eyes like a blood moon were exposed. Occasionally, ferocious wings that looked like gold and iron could be seen. The aura on his body was extremely terrifying, surpassing that of a death-level king, but at this time, it was shrouded in black mist and fell into silence.

After a while, the Lord of Corpse Mountain snorted and said through gritted teeth, "This era was supposed to be started by us, but we didn't expect that we would be usurped by the old monks like Skeleton Plains."

Lord Kuilangxing was silent.

After a while, the Master of Corpse Mountain asked again, "Is there any news about the remains of the Golden Crow in the marsh?"

"Not yet." Kuilang Xingjun said angrily, "Those Yuanxi remnants are very tight-lipped. I have used various methods. Whether it is soul searching, torture or temptation, they just refuse to reveal the news of the Golden Crow remnants. ”

"They really thought that they could deal with our Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom with the remains of a sacred beast."

Kuilang Xingjun bared his teeth and sneered, "It's so stupid."

"There is no rush, but the remains of the Golden Crow must fall into our hands." The Master of Corpse Mountain became fierce, and the aura on his body became more and more sinister. "No matter how much it costs, energy and time, even if we search the entire swamp inch by inch, we will not be able to do it." Find it for me."

"Understood." Lord Kuilangxing nodded.

He frowned and then said, "But if there is a large-scale search, it is likely to attract some unnecessary attention. For example, the guy who killed the Dragon King before, should we get rid of him first?" ”

Kuilang Xingjun stretched out his hand and made a motion of cutting his neck.

With Su Heng here, the great kings of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom are really uncomfortable.

Granting a fleshly incarnation is a complete gift, and there is no guarantee that the real body will end up like the Dragon King.

It was like a nail being pressed into my throat, unable to move forward or retreat. Lord Kuilangxing and Lord Dragon were on good terms, and he had long wanted to get rid of him and quickly avenge his friend. But until now, Lord Kuilangxing has not thought of any good solution, so he can only mention this matter specifically and let the Lord of Corpse Mountain make the decision.

"Don't worry, he won't be able to hold on for long." The corpse mountain master narrowed his eyes and sneered, with a confident expression.

"I don't know, sir..." Lord Kuilangxing felt curious when he saw this.

"Do you still remember Liu Qingqing?" The Master of Corpse Mountain suddenly spoke, mentioning a taboo from decades ago.

Kuilang Xingjun suddenly looked stern, "Of course I know."

This incident can be said to be a great shame for the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. As a demon with great potential in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters, he actually fell in love with a human being imprisoned in the country and secretly let him go.

This incident caused such a shock that even the sleeping mountain owner was awakened and personally arrested and brought him to justice.

But since then.

No one knew the whereabouts of Liu Qingqing, and the information was deliberately hidden.

Even a big demon like Kuilang Xingjun only vaguely knew that Liu Qingqing was let go and left to enter the outside world.

"Do you know why I let her go?" Lord Corpse Mountain asked with a smile.

"I don't know." Lord Kuilangxing shook his head.

"When I caught her back, she was already pregnant." The Master of Corpse Mountain said, "That child surprised me."

"I would like to hear the details." Lord Kuilangxing suppressed the shock in his heart.

"Monsters can be roughly divided into four different types: fairies and ghosts, but there is another special kind of existence, which is the 'devil'."

"I have heard some rumors that people are devils without realizing it."

"That's right." The Master of Corpse Mountain chuckled and nodded, "If people are unconscious demons, then the bloodline Liu Qingqing gave to that child is a key to unlocking the shackles. I am in that child I had a backup plan, and I planned to refine it into my flesh-granting incarnation, so that I could descend to the realm in advance."

"I didn't expect him to come to me on his own initiative, and he was even better than I expected."

The corpse mountain master's eyes reflected the blood-red fire, and he spoke in a bewitching tone, "Do you know how the traitor Liu Qingqing died?"

Lord Kuilangxing shook his head.

"The one who was killed by that Dusi was right in front of her child."

"That's really cruel." Lord Kuilangxing laughed out loud and said coldly, "But this is the ending that a traitor deserves."

"It was such extremely strong hatred that turned him into a deadly weapon."

The Lord of Corpse Mountain waved his hand.

A ball of flame appeared in the bone hall in front of him.

Through the dark red flames that exuded an evil aura, Xu Hanlin's figure half-kneeling on the ground could be vaguely seen.

"And now, this weapon is in my hands." The eerie laughter of the Lord of Corpse Mountain echoed.

It stretched out its palm, spread its fingers, and shook it fiercely.

With a loud "bang" explosion, the entire hall shook. Several bat demons standing on the eaves flapped their wings and flew into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye under the night with the blood moon hanging high.
