Chapter 288 - 127: Slaughtering into the Xiaoyang Race Territory!
Chapter 288 - 127: Slaughtering into the Xiaoyang Race Territory!
The Blazing Flame Division began large-scale training of the Blood Sea Guard in the Ji Land, starting from when Shen Can recruited a group of miners.
In the days that followed, as the population of the Three Fire Tribe exceeded three million, Shen Can continuously conducted sacrifices and selected tens of thousands of Blood Sea Guard recruits from among them.
These tribesmen who dared to consume Xiaoyang’s flesh raw were not all able to withstand the sinister aura and resentment of the Xiaoyang Blood Pill.
Ultimately, after selection, a total of over thirty thousand joined the Blood Sea Guard.
The Blood Sea Guard heading north to the Xiaoyang Race Territory this time was chosen from these thirty thousand, numbering eight thousand.
These war soldiers, each with bloodshot eyes and terrifying evil qi, dared to consume Xiaoyang flesh raw for cultivation in the absence of the Xiaoyang Blood Pill.
Led by Tian Chuanshan, the eight thousand slipped into black clothing, moving northward by night while the Xiaoyang Race’s attention around the Heyang Ruins Market was drawn by the clan soldiers led by Huo Chang.
The eight thousand had but one command, to infiltrate the Muo Yan Branch Territory of the Xiaoyang Race and slaughter every Xiaoyang visible!
Why target the Muo Yan Clan Land? In recent centuries, the Xiaoyang Muo Yan Lineage has grown stronger, showing signs of surpassing Qiu Yin and Mu Kang branches.
If the Muo Yan were to annex both Qiu Yin and Mu Kang tribes, they would have the foundation to unify Xiaoyang to the west.
Help the weak against the strong.
Bleed the strong.
Xiaoyang should be divided into three powers, each checking the other.
Jishan and Yanran holding back Xiaoyang’s main force is to see how the Three Fires stirs the storm!
Let the people of Ji Land see how the men of the Northern Lands get things done.
...
The Xiaoyang Race Territory.
Thick bloody aura lingered in the mountain forests, blood gathered into rivers flowing out, and Xiaoyang corpses shattered everywhere.
In some places, figures sat cross-legged in the blood, devouring the pervasive bloody airflow in large gulps.
The forest was eerily silent, even though two thousand figures were scattered all over, silence made one’s hair stand on end.
Tian Chuanshan spread out a map.
It marked the locations of each Muo Yan Branch tribe’s dwelling.
It also indicated which paths encountered the most Muo Yan Branch tribes en route.
This map came from Huo Yui, along with help from the inside, the allies like the Owl Fox.
For years, Huo Yui remained hidden within the Xiaoyang Race Territory for the sake of this map.
Today, it finally came into great use.
"Move!"
With a wave from Tian Chuanshan, figures rose without hesitation, leaving behind a mountain of corpses and a river of blood.
The utmost priority was speed, to swiftly obliterate the tribes under the Muo Yan Branch before Xiaoyang could react.
Therefore, Tian Chuanshan divided the eight thousand into four teams, advancing towards the core area of the Muo Yan Branch from several directions.
The routes chosen by the four Blood Sea Guards were those with the most tribes, directly bypassing tribes not on the marching lines.
Everything had to be swift.
Slaughter all the way through.
Once discovered, they’ll disperse into the mountains, breaking into smaller units.
The four teams, according to plan, would convene at the Muxian Tribe, one of the five major tribes under the Muo Yan Branch, in four days.
By then, the Blood Curse Guard had already gone ahead towards the Muxian Tribe.
For their southern campaign, the Muo Yan Clan Master indeed withdrew most of the troops under his command.
The Muo Yan Branch tribes encountered by the Blood Sea Guard barely held out for a quarter of an hour defensively.
Additionally, in controlling the occupied Human Race lands, the Xiaoyang Three Divisions migrated many non-bloodline Scattered Divisions away, making it easier for the Blood Sea Guard’s rapid advance.
On the first day of entering Muo Yan territory, Tian Chuanshan led two thousand Blood Sea Guards to advance four thousand miles, annihilating seventeen tribes.
On the second day, twenty-one tribes were destroyed.
On the third day, nineteen tribes were destroyed.
Though mostly small tribes of a few thousand, up to ten thousand, they were almost all of Muo Yan bloodline.
On the fourth day, the dispersed four Blood Sea Guards successfully convened and, without stopping, charged into the Muxian Tribe.
Similar to an Upper-class Tribe of the Human Race, the Muxian Tribe had more than four hundred thousand people, ruling numerous small Xiaoyang branches.
Under the cover of night, the four Blood Sea Guards attacked the Muxian Tribe.
Even with most elite forces withdrawn, the Muxian Tribe’s soldiers were promptly alert, a thunderous roar erupting.
At that moment, from somewhere in the tribe, cries of their kin suddenly echoed, and one after another, blood-colored kin faces appeared, so striking under the night sky.
These Blood Shadows swept through the tribe like a storm, leaving behind withered Xiaoyang corpses wherever they went.
"There is a Blood Witch!"
"The Blood Witch is consuming our souls!"
"No!"
The Muxian Tribe’s clan chief went south to crusade against the Human Race, leaving an elder in charge, who rushed out, loudly calling to the other elders, but no one responded.
The blood-red torrent from four directions, bearing Xiaoyang Race’s resentment, wielded blood blades that continuously slaughtered Xiaoyang.
But many Xiaoyang stumbled upon rushing out of their dwellings, feeling powerless all over.
Suddenly realizing they were poisoned.
The tribe’s reserve animal oil storage was breached, oil flowing down the terrain with flames igniting.
Countless Xiaoyang were engulfed by fire, yet these screams did not stay the hands of the Blood Sea Guard.
Each figure had blood-red eyes, as if only the slaughter of Xiaoyang remained in their sight, some devouring blood as they killed.
"Ah!"
"Clan Chief, where are you? How could the Human Race have breached the tribe!"
Countless Xiaoyang screamed, unable to believe it. This was the tribe’s territory; how could the Human Race invade?
In a corner of the tribe, some Human Race slaves also broke out, charging towards the nearest Xiaoyang, using their teeth and fists.
Emaciated though they were, their eyes were full of hatred.
"Human Race, you dare!"
In the deepest part of the Xiaoyang Tribe, the originally vacant Ancestral Temple had strands of dark blood seeping from the ground, breaking open like decayed fabric, revealing an owl fox with white hair.
Its eyes like blood, a blood horn sprouted from its head.
"Blood Forbiddance!"
With that, the Xiaoyang cast witchcraft at Tian Chuanshan, a dense and intense blood qi whistling forth.
At the same time.
In the Xiaoyang Race Territory, the ferocious Xiaoyang illusions transformed from blood-red apparitions to blood-robed figures, approximately over a hundred, quickly charging the white-haired Xiaoyang.
"A bunch of abominations, daring to use our Xiaoyang Race for cultivation!"
"I curse you all like decaying blood, for all eternity..."
Then, layers of blood curtains shimmered, rushing at the hundred-plus figures charging.
But as the blood curtains descended, the hundred-plus figures became ethereal, reforming upon passing through the curtains.
"A curse?"
Among the shadows, the Blood Curse Guard Commander, Shi Jun, with eyes alternating between blood and black, let out a soft chant.
"You actually cursed the right person!"
