Fang Che had already rushed into the fray in a whirlwind of blood and swordlight. The One Heart Church Generals with their backs facing him were slain in the blink of an eye, and the three Moon Demon Church Generals followed them to the afterlife immediately thereafter. The faces of the slain Generals were all etched with astonishment, even in death. Fang Che calmly returned his sword to its scabbard, then called out, "What're you waiting for? Come and claim the spoils!" However, Ling Kong and the others were all completely rooted to the spot, with their mouths gaped so wide open that entire ostrich eggs could be stuffed inside! Ling Kong's mind had gone completely blank. "Why did you kill those Generals from the enforcement altar?!" he exclaimed. A stunned look appeared on Fang Che's face. "What do you mean? Didn't you just say that they were easy pickings, so I can take care of them all on my own? Was I not supposed to have killed those six people?" Ling Kong slapped a hand to his own forehead in dismay. Never had he imagined that Fang Che would be so brazen as to kill Generals of the enforcement altar. He was calling out for them to claim the spoils, but none of them dared! If certain items were identified by others once they returned to the main church, then they would be in a world of trouble! "Don't just stand there!" Ling Kong yelled in an urgent voice. "Hurry up and dispose of the bodies!" Only then did Lu Yuan and the others snap back to their senses, and they hurriedly rushed onto the scene before burying the bodies of the enforcement altar Generals. As for their possessions, all of them were left untouched. There could be spirit sense from the masters and seniors of the deceased Generals planted in those items, and if that were the case, then taking them would be like taking ticking time bombs. No one would be able to sense these items in the Parasite Ascension Domain, but the spirit sense connection would immediately be restored as soon as they were taken out of the domain. Ling Kong and the others were all toiling away while sighing incessantly. Who could've imagined that Night Demon would be so reckless? It was like he really was a blind killing machine! Before anyone had a chance to react, everyone in the clearing had already been decapitated. "It's a pity all of this stuff has to go to waste," Fang Che remarked in a wistful manner. "Now's not the time to be thinking about that!" Xiao Jue said in an exasperated manner. "We'll be lucky just to survive!" "It's not like I get any of the spoils, I'm just saying that it's a pity that none of you get to take it." "Even my father wouldn't dare to claim this stuff!" After the One Heart Church and Moon Demon Church Generals were all stripped of their belongings, Fang Che was eager to move on. "Let's go, I hear something happening over there." It didn't faze him at all that he had killed people from the main church. It wasn't was his first time. Ling Kong looked as if he were mourning a deceased relative. "Can we just... settle down for a bit, Night Demon? Even if you didn't manage to kill anyone before running into us, you've definitely killed enough for a top-three finish by now. You're a machine! Even in the main church, I've barely ever met anyone with as much bloodlust as you," Ling Kong wailed. "Surely not," Fang Che countered. "There are stories of all of our seniors massacring entire cities and villages like it's a stroll in the park. I'm nothing compared with them." "Yeah, but they're killing normal civilians and people associated with the Guardians, while you're killing our own people! It's obviously not the same!" Ling Kong argued in exasperation. Fang Che refused to be swayed. "Every single person in here that's still alive has killed a bunch of supposed allies. If you ask me, all of you are too kind. Outside of formal alliances like ours, everyone in here is an enemy! How can you sympathize with them at a time ? If you're so kind, you may as well go and become a Protectionist!" This was the first time in his life that he had been denounced as "too kind," and he truly didn't know what to think of this. A few fruitless hours passed by. At this point in the Parasite Ascension Project, people had already become very sparse and difficult to encounter. Fang Che was very displeased, and he began urging Ling Kong and the others to move faster and with more purpose. Ling Kong and his companions were being herded around like mules, and all of them felt as if their legs were filled with lead. However, Night Demon was by far their most valuable recruit, so they had to stay with him in order to develop a closer bond together and truly turn him into an ally. He was incredibly ruthless, possessing unmatched killing instincts, and his aptitude all but assured him of a bright future ahead. Even if all 150,000 Generals had arranged themselves into a line for them to choose from, there were most likely very few superior allies that they could hope to recruit. Right at this moment, a resounding boom rang out up ahead, causing the nearby trees to tremble and sway. "Over there!" Fang Che exclaimed in elation. In direct contrast with his gleeful reaction, Ling Kong and the others were looking to the heavens in dismay. Another one?! We've barely had any rest! All of them had to resort to stuffing pills down their gullets for quick recovery. They had already decided that the first thing they would do after getting out of here was sleeping for at least three days and three nights! Never had they been this exhausted before! They deployed their usual plan, with Ling Kong and the others concealing themselves in six different directions, while Fang Che charged in to directly confront the enemy. Right as Fang Che was about to rush into the fray, a group of people with blood all over their bodies emerged from the dense greenery up ahead. They were led by none other than Jiang Shangyun, the son of the pope of the Moon Demon Church, and his eyes instantly lit up at the sight of the oncoming Fang Che. It's that bastard that was provoking everyone and took the Cloud Water Heavenly Fruit earlier! He immediately waved a hand in an ecstatic manner, signaling for the dozen or so Moon Demon Church Generals to swarm toward Fang Che in unison. Fresh chapters posted on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net "Get him! We can't let him get away!" Jiang Shangyun's eyes were glowing with excitement. If he could claim Fang Che's head, that would be his golden ticket to establishing a connection with Yan Beihan! Fang Che was rather taken aback. He had always been the one gazing upon others in excitement, and this was the first time he was the one being regarded as prey. At this point, his cultivation base had reached the pinnacle of the seventh-rank General tier, and the volume of spirit qi in his body was comparable to that of a first or second-rank Lord. Thus, even though he was facing thirteen Generals at once, he had full confidence in his own abilities as he charged directly toward them with his saber raised high above his head. Right as the two parties were about to clash, his saber flew out of his grasp, pinning one of the enemy Generals to the ground. Before his first victim had even drawn his final breath, he had already switched to his sword. He unleashed his Seven Blood Spirit Swords in full flow, and at the same time, a vast wave of baleful qi erupted out of his body, sweeping toward the enemy in an almighty torrent. The baleful qi in his body had been further enhanced by all of the lives that he had claimed in the Parasite Ascension Domain, and now that he was releasing it all at once, it resembled a tangible, suffocating wave of murderous intent. Jiang Shangyun and the others shuddered in unison as the wave of baleful qi swept over them, and their spirit sense was the first to be affected. They felt as if they were witnessing an infernal demon walking toward them from a mountain of bodies and a sea of blood. It was as if the boundless sea of blood and vast mountain of corpses were following him, striking the beholder with an indescribable sense of horror. All of them had killed people in the past, but they weren't even in the same weight class as Fang Che in that regard. Furthermore, the most potent baleful qi could only be derived from battles of life and death against truly formidable opponents, not from massacring defenseless non-warriors. The accumulation of sufficient baleful qi granted one an aura of invincibility in battle, it couldn't be replicated through senseless slaughter of the weak. The two sides clashed violently, and Fang Che let loose a thunderous roar as he unleashed his Seven Blood Spirit Swords. At this point, aside from a disparity in power, his Seven Blood Spirit Swords were essentially no different from if they had been unleashed by Yin Shengong himself. The three enemy Generals charging at the forefront were already in condition to fight, having completely succumbed to Fang Che's baleful qi, and they were cut down in an instant. The four Generals behind them were also rather unsteady on their feet, but they were still able to pose some resistance. Fang Che parried their attacks with his sword while lashing out to kick one of them in the lower abdomen, sending them flying back through the air with an agonized wail, and he was decapitated before he even had a chance to fall to the ground. The remaining Generals could sense that both Fang Che's cultivation base and battlefield experience far exceeded their own, but they had finally managed to shrug off the crippling effects of his baleful qi. After taking a moment to compose themselves, they charged directly toward Fang Che, yet right as they were about to regroup and stage a counterattack, they abruptly felt a chill run down their spines, as if someone had exhaled a cold breath down the backs of their necks. It was naturally the Golden Horn Flood Dragon at work. The enemy Generals shuddered involuntarily as they hurriedly jumped away, and Fang Che pounced on the opportunity to claim three more victims. At this point, only six of the original thirteen remained. Fang Che spun around like a whirlwind, directing a cold glare at the two sword-wielding Generals that were rushing toward him, and they hurriedly backtracked in a panic, but Fang Che had already swooped down upon them. The two of them were cut down in an instant, following which a General that was standing twenty feet away had both of his legs amputated by a streak of swordlight. A blood-curdling howl escaped his lips, but he was quickly silenced as he Fang Che crushed his throat and his windpipe with a forceful stomp. His Five Spirit Parasite immediately came out to feast. At this point, ten of the thirteen Generals had already perished, leaving only Jiang Shangyun and two other horrified companions. "Wait!" Jiang Shangyun yelled with a look of horror and deep resentment in his eyes. He knew that he had chosen the wrong target, and in the blink of an eye, the prey had become the hunter.
