Scourge Messenger

Chapter 274 The Strongest Army in the World, the Number One Third-Rank Army
'Yan Shiyi' picked up the pipe from the ground, took a deep breath, and exhaled white smoke.

He is tired.

Yan Qing was also tired. He let go of the handle, feeling like he had done math problems until his brain was numb and he didn't want to do anything.

PVP and PVE are completely different concepts. Especially when facing a group of high-level messengers who can cooperate with each other, it is difficult for Yan Qing to kill one of them instantly. They will cover their companions to recover in the rear.

Of the four third-level commanders, none of them were easy to deal with, especially Fu Shang. As soon as they started fighting, Yan Qing could clearly sense that he had absorbed at least the Earthly Fiends, and possibly even the Heavenly Divine Forces. However, the Heavenly Divine Forces strengthened the soul, not the Earthly Fiends.

If he were to activate the Heaven-Overturning Power of Bingzi Jiaolin, dealing with them would be a piece of cake. The more people there were, the greater the power of Heaven-Overturning Power would be. However, since leaving the Tombstone Secret Realm, Yan Qing had not used Heaven-Overturning Power even once. This was his trump card, a surprise he had prepared for Ying Le, and he had to keep it hidden until the very end before revealing its full power.

So he had no choice but to kill everyone who dared to stand in his way, one by one!
The defensive barrier was broken and repaired repeatedly, and the mana regeneration button was never released. More than 20,000 spirit stones were consumed just to restore spiritual power. The durability of the Mountain Heart Mirror decreased by 80%, and the Seven Star Sword was even dulled.

In the end, Yan Qing's victory was not due to his strength or the Shura Token, but rather his endurance. No matter how much spiritual energy they recovered, they could not recover faster than Yan Qing, who only needed to press the mana recovery button. Even if they focused their fire and destroyed his defensive barrier, Yan Qing could keep pressing the health recovery button and consuming health-restoring pills, relying on the system mechanism to drag things out.

Their defeat was sealed the moment the first death occurred.

Yan Qing glanced at the time; it was 3:20 PM. The battle had lasted for almost half an hour, equivalent to a Dota promotion match. No wonder he was so tired.

Fortunately, the "seven-day intensive training" at Xuanwu Lake Military Town ended a few days ago, so Rat Monk could take leave and rest at will. Otherwise, Yan Qing wouldn't have been able to play the "Yan Eleven" account.

After sitting there for a moment, Yan Qing didn't rush to loot the spoils. Instead, he focused on restoring the durability of the tokens, as several of them had fallen below the danger threshold. Now, unless it was a rare, third-tier auxiliary token like the 'Extinction Ring' or the 'Goldfish Eyeglasses' that didn't take up a main equipment slot, ordinary tokens were hard to catch his eye.

When the token was halfway finished being repaired, Yan Qing heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves from outside the mountains. He sighed. It wasn't going to be so easy to resolve. Even if there weren't two hundred thousand, there were at least tens of thousands of troops nearby. It couldn't be dealt with by killing a few dozen people. It seemed they had already regrouped.

"I am coming."

A melodious sound swept through the ten-mile-long mountain forest, like a young girl in love whispering her arrival in her lover's ear. However, Yan Qing's expression turned serious as he hurried to restore his weapon's durability to its normal state.

Too lazy to search the spoils carefully, after taking the rare treasures and tokens of the four third-tier warriors, 'Yan Shiyi' walked to the back of Yangjiao Mountain and saw an army on the distant plain that looked like a black wave.

Shanwen Camp, Baibao Guard.

Ying Le's directly commanded troops are the strongest troops in Qi, and possibly even the strongest troops in the Central Plains! Ten years ago, Ying Le commanded this army to attack Zhou in the west and Liang in the south, causing millions of corpses and rivers of blood to flow in the Central Plains. Even other Foundation Establishment cultivators had to avoid its sharp edge.

Yan Qing still remembers that only eight elite guards had broken into the secret realm, but if he hadn't activated the Heaven-Overturning Technique of Bingzi Jiaolin, he would have had almost no way to deal with them.

Compared to Ying Le's army, Dong Shou Zhenren's 'hunting dogs' were simply insignificant.

Below them are eight hundred Imperial Guards and the Emperor himself leading the expedition.

Although he had mentally prepared himself, Yan Qing still couldn't help but feel nervous when things actually came to this. It wasn't fear, it wasn't terror; if he had to use an analogy, it was like playing Elden Ring, where a level 1, useless alt character had traveled a million miles to reach the Valkyrie's Fog Gate. The outcome was already predetermined, but he didn't feel it was a waste of time; he just wanted to see how many moves he could withstand. Or rather, having come this far, how could he be satisfied without fighting? It was just a matter of dying anyway.

But before that, Yan Qing needs to do one thing.

He chose to use [Earthly Vein Qi] and obtained [Earthly Fiend: Secret Record of the Netherworld]. Then, consuming 20 points of Heavenly Calamity Karma, he catastrophized both [Heavenly Gang: Jade Talisman of Manipulating Creation] and [Earthly Fiend: Secret Record of the Netherworld]!
The karmic burden of the natural disaster instantly plummeted to 7 points, but to Yan Qing's surprise, the milestones that had already been triggered did not disappear! In other words, he still had 7 points of true damage, 7 points of damage reduction, and 7 points of enlightenment bonus. He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but Yan Qing felt much happier. He felt that he didn't need to think about many things and could just do them!
The only regret is that we are too far away to see what Ying Le looks like. Maybe we won't even be able to see the BOSS's face this time.

……

...

"coming."

"He didn't run away!?"

"Now that he's come down from Yangjiao Mountain, it seems that Fushang and the others have already..."

"As expected of the number one below Foundation Establishment, and the number one third-level cultivator in the world!"

"So many people and they still couldn't stop him? How is that possible! Could he have reached the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Although the Baibao army, now without its commander, did not collapse, it was difficult to reorganize in the short term and could only be temporarily absorbed by other well-organized armies. At this moment, countless people were watching the figure descending from Yangjiao Mountain. Wearing a Yaksha mask, his clothes had turned into dark red blood-stained robes, and he carried a Dark Star Longsword. His steps were light and quick, like a young man going to a rendezvous.

Because he wore a Yaksha mask, people gradually came to call him 'Yaksha' by convention. In fact, the Yaksha mask was a common token within the Qi Kingdom, and there were quite a few second-level messengers who wore Yaksha masks, but from now on, for the next few decades, the name 'Yaksha' will probably be exclusively used by him.

At the same time, with the sound of horns, the Eight Hundred Guards moved at the same time. All of them charged on their heavily armored warhorses with uniform movements. When they moved, it was like heavy mountains moving, unstoppable!

But what's astonishing is that even compared to the world's strongest army, Hyakupo Konoe, the 'Yaksha's' aura is not inferior!
His pace quickened and quickened until he was running. Although he was alone, it was as if he was carrying mountains and seas with him.

Although there are tens of millions of people, I am going.

Upon seeing this scene from afar, Ying Rushi suddenly recalled this motto from the secret realm.

A person like 'Yaksha' will cut down mountains, seas, and even Foundation Establishment cultivators if they are in front of him! He doesn't do it for the sake of the world or for justice; he just wants to stand tall, vent his anger, and no one can make him bow down!
The strongest army in the world versus the number one third-tier army in the world!

Everyone silently exclaimed, "Truly well-deserved!"
With a thunderous roar that seemed to ignite the earth's fire, the 'Yaksha' charged into the ranks of the Hyakupo Imperial Guard, like an iron blade slicing through steel!
