Monarch of Evernight - Chapter 813

Chapter 813: 813

That was an extremely fierce poison . Although Qianye wasn’t really afraid of it, he couldn’t avoid being affected by it nor could he stay very long inside its area of effect . But this was Qianye with his ancient vampire constitution, fire-forged physique, and a near-immunity to poison . He would probably be poisoned if he only had auric flame blood without the fire-forged physique . At that point, he could only rely on the former to fight the venom .

Such a poison would instantly kill every human below the champion-rank . Vampires and werewolves below the viscount level would only be able to hold out momentarily . The arachne would probably fare slightly better, but even they wouldn’t be able to escape death in the end .

In terms of pure damage, this mouthful of green gas had far surpassed Qianye’s domain and Life Plunder . Thousands of mercenaries became corpses in the blink of an eye, destroying half of the Stormwind Fury’s counterattack force .

The battlefield grew quiet with corpses strewn across the ground . The mercenaries who hadn’t stepped into the green gas’ range looked at the land of death in front of them and suspected whether they were dreaming . Some of them woke up amidst loud screams and began running for dear life—the entire army looked like it was about to collapse .

Qianye’s domain was powerful, but there were ways to block its effects and death didn’t come as swiftly . This green gas, on the other hand, would turn all in its wake to corpses, sparing not a single soul . How could they not feel terrified? Even the most powerful soldiers fell apart immediately .

The commander shouted, “No need to be afraid, she can’t spray a second time . ”

Little Zhuji grew dispirited after spitting out that mouthful of gas and could hardly even open her eyes . Apparently, the absolute poison took a heavy toll on her .

Even though she couldn’t cough up a second mouthful of poison, the green gas from the first attack hadn’t yet dispersed . How would anyone even dare to step into that field of death? Not to mention stepping into it, no one even dared to go near .

Little Zhuji was furious upon hearing the words from the other side . She raised her little head and roared, “Who said so? Stand out if you dare and I’ll show you if I can’t spit your face full of it!”

Her voice—extremely clear and full of spirit—spread out in all directions . The morale of the Stormwind Fury soldiers hit rock bottom, and that commander didn’t dare step out, either . Little Zhuji’s green gas had already killed thousands of mercenaries . What if she had a little bit left?

Qianye patted little Zhuji’s head . “Just rest, no need for you to fight anymore . ”

With that, Qianye passed straight through the poisoned area completely unaffected and headed for the Stormwind Fury formation .

An astonished Gado followed hurriedly from behind . He saw Qianye passing through the land of death with such calmness that he thought it was already fine to take this path . But he had only taken a couple of steps in when he felt his skin turn numb as a fishy fluid came down his nostrils .

Shocked out of his wits, Gado retreated urgently and flashed out of the vicinity . Then, he proceeded to force the poison out with every ounce of his power . Moments later, his expression improved after spitting out a mouthful of putrid blood, but his aura had weakened quite a bit . Surprisingly, his injuries weren’t light!

He glanced at the putrid blood on the ground with a terrified expression, his heart full of trepidation . He might’ve been gravely injured had he pulled back any later .

And that was because the green gas was spread out over a wide area . If little Zhuji had spat out a concentrated mass of this poison, Gado would have probably died on the spot .

But Qianye didn’t look like he needed Gado’s help, either . Qianye’s domain spread out over the Stormwind Fury formation, felling a large swathe of mercenaries . Equipped with the experience from before, many soldiers charged into the domain proactively in order to distribute the pressure . Just as they were barely able to resist the weight, they saw a thin red thread pierce through their chests . Thereafter, everything turned dark and they could no longer feel anything .

Hundreds of corpses fell down around Qianye after a round of Life Plunder swept through . Although the number of threads he could produce was limited, they would target mercenaries with the most exuberant vitality, leaving only the weaklings . This dealt a grave blow to the corps' fighting power .

That commanding officer was hiding in the crowd with hopes of launching a sneak attack . But he would always run away like a spooked bird .

Qianye felt somewhat helpless against such a crafty opponent .

But that wasn’t important . Qianye still had a Shot of Inception left for the man if he really did approach . Coupled with Spatial Flash, he could definitely chase down and kill the enemy . If the commander refused to come near, then Qianye would keep on killing the mercenaries without pause . The Stormwind Fury’s defeat was confirmed in the blink of an eye . Even the most resolute of soldiers couldn’t find the courage to charge forward after seeing their friends fall one after the other . Following an unknown shout, the surviving soldiers immediately began to disperse and flee . None of them turned back, nor was there anyone to guard the rear . Whoever fled slower would be killed first, giving the ones up front a greater chance at escaping . This ancient wisdom originating from the beast hordes was both cruel and practical .

Qianye had no good way to deal with the scattering soldiers . He had only killed a few when there was no one left in his sight . Even the most ordinary soldiers revealed surprising strength while on the run, fleeing as quick as lightning .

Qianye stopped and drew upon his origin power . Soon, a deep, thunderous voice covered the entire forest area . Even the soldiers who had run furthest could hear his words echoing beside their ears . “Whoever touches my people must die! Resign from the corps if you’re smart . Hereafter, I shall kill everyone from Stormwind Fury that I meet!”

“You…” The shocked commander’s voice arrived from afar . He had wanted to throw down a couple of fierce words before leaving, but who would’ve thought Qianye would be so absolute in his actions? He couldn’t find any response after a long while, and he couldn’t really stop his fleeing feet, either . He had fled far at this point and lacked the power to deliver his words to Qianye’s ears .

Qianye stopped to take a deep breath, his face flushed red and his blood, boiling . The essence blood he had absorbed with Life Plunder burned continuously, swiftly restoring his blood energy .

By the time Gado arrived in front of Qianye, the latter had recovered to his initial state—at least it seemed so on the surface . The tall warrior glanced at Qianye, and then at little Zhuji . He proceeded to heave a long sigh, knowing that it was impossible for him to take the little girl away . Besides, the way Qianye treated Stormwind Fury proved that he would never go easy on those who dared to have designs on little Zhuji .

Gado left quietly with his tribesmen and vanished into the depths of the forest . Qianye, on the other hand, brought the little fellow in a different direction .

“What’s on this side?” Little Zhuji asked .

“The mercenaries’ camp . I’m going to burn them . ”

“Got it . ” The little fellow was nodding off and looked like she would fall asleep at any moment .

“How did you learn to use poison?”

“I ate that fruit last time, I knew how to use poison after waking up . "

The little girl’s reply made Qianye speechless . Her talents were simply too enviable . Which human didn’t have to painstakingly cultivate their combat arts? Some powerful secret arts even put one’s life at risk . For instance, the Profound Combatant Formula afforded its user shocking cultivation speeds and its accompanying Oceanic Vortex was peerlessly powerful . However, Qianye would’ve broken down instead if his body were just a bit weaker .

Zhuji’s green gas was so powerful, and yet all she needed was a nap to comprehend it . This was an inherent power hidden deep within her bloodline .

Little Zhuji’s bloodline originated from Count Stuka, but Qianye felt that the arachne’s poison wasn’t this powerful when he and Zhao Yuying had fought him back then . The talent skill had grown stronger by over ten times in Little Zhuji’s hands .

Qianye could only sigh in admiration when comparing the two .

Moments later, Qianye exited the Black Grove with little Zhuji in tow and arrived in front of the mercenary camp . At this moment, the camp was in utter chaos with people running in from everywhere to report the matter . Some began organizing their luggage in a fluster, while some fierce characters waved their weapons around, shouting about how they would deal with Qianye .

No small number of Stormwind Fury soldiers had escaped back to base, but Qianye’s arrival was also quite fast . They had only managed to convey news of their utter defeat to those at the base when Qianye arrived, not even giving them enough time to pack up .

Qianye simply walked in, too lazy to pay attention to the nonsense those mercenary coyotes were spouting .

Moments later, three camps, along with the logging grounds, broke out in fierce flames . The fire stretched dozens of meters tall and almost illuminated the entire sky . As Qianye slowly walked out of the raging flames, there was no longer a living shadow in the blaze behind him .

“Where do we go now?”

“Home . ”

“Let me sleep a while then . I’m so sleepy . ” Little Zhuji yawned loudly .

Qianye got onto his motorbike, started the engine, and sped off into the boundless wasteland, leaving a cloud of dust behind him .

Finally, news of utter defeat on the front lines reached Southern Blue . The city lord sat quietly, completely unmoved even as the frontline commander of Stormwind Fury completed his report .

The entire meeting chamber fell into a deathly silence as the report was completed . Everyone knew that Qianye’s death threat toward Stormwind Fury wasn’t just for fun . The issue was how likely it was that he would be able to follow up on his words .

The Southern Blue city lord spoke only after a long while, “He calls himself Qianye?”

“Yes . ”

A long lapse of silence passed again before the city lord said, “Report this matter to the Spider Emperor . Okay, dismissed!”

Only when the room was empty did the Southern Blue city lord heave a long sigh . “Qianye, Qianye…”

At this moment, Qianye had already traversed the vast distance to reach the continent’s edge . The geography in the area was no longer even, and was already beginning to rise and fall . Glancing into the distance, one could see a long mountain range and its tall peaks piercing into the clouds . There were streaks of lightning flickering along the peaks, accompanied by the occasional thunder . It could be considered extremely dangerous .

That was the continent’s border, where the natural barrier of the continent met the void . Even space here was unstable, and void storms were a common occurrence . Throughout the long years, the mountain range had been cut, torn, and crushed by the void storms, eventually turning into this kind of landscape where even birds couldn’t fly easily . Some of the tallest peaks were thousands of meters in height .

Beyond these tall peaks was the true border of the continent . There were storms wreaking havoc here at all times . Those unfortunate enough to be swept into them would be flung out into the bottomless void .

The Eastern Sea Continent, along with many other landmasses in the neutral lands, originated from the Void Valley Star . It hadn’t been very long since they were formed . The twenty-seven main continents were much more stable—their barriers were stronger, and their borders were relatively peaceful .

Qianye’s expression became serious as he gazed at the tall peaks around the border region . The environment here was too adverse and dangerous even for him . Caution was necessary .

The reason he had come here was because of the third piece of news he had gotten from the captain . Reportedly, a vampire warship had crashed here . Qianye wanted to know why the Evernight vampire race had come here with a giant warship .

It was said that one of the masters of the neutral lands—the person on the Throne of Blood—had a deep enmity against the twelve ancient clans and would kill their members on sight . That Shattered Time in his hands could instantly kill anyone below the duke rank and even defeat a prince . That was why Evernight vampires were rarely seen in the neutral lands .

Qianye had no idea what the vampires were scheming, but it was too much of a coincidence that they would be here at this time .
