Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

The Cloud Cavalry Camp is a hidden paradise.

Qi Zhimu's face held a hint of authority as he prepared to lead his army into battle.

Another group of cavalry approached from the opposite direction, and the leader of the Cloud Cavalry bowed solemnly to him.

Qi Zhimu returned the gesture of greeting, noticing a familiar gaze directed at him. His eyes locked onto a pair of crimson pupils in the group, but his emotions remained unchanged.

Both master and apprentice were on missions and about to set off, but the battlefields they were heading to were different.

The master pursued the hunter, stepping away from the enemy's head.

His apprentices participated in medium-sized expeditionary campaigns, hoping to one day stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Now, they can only pass each other by and head to their respective battlefields.

……

In an era of frequent warfare, if one cannot adjust their mindset in time, their perception of the passage of time may become less noticeable.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye, and before we knew it, it was already the year 6310 in the astrological calendar.

Qi Zhimu's expedition returned in triumph, bringing back an item that was mercilessly hung on the bow of the Yaoqing Immortal Ship.

That was the head of the contemporary Bu Liren Zhan Shou Wusa.

The battle report quickly spread throughout the various immortal ships, causing a stir among them.

The number one enemy of the abundant aboriginal species hunted by the Immortal Boat Alliance is the Bu Li people. Their leader holds a position equivalent to an Immortal Boat general or even a marshal for the entire race.

No one knows how Qi Zhimu beheaded Bu Lizhan.

Even the Grand Diviner of the Jade Palace Immortal Ship couldn't figure it out.

……

Luofu Immortal Boat, General's Mansion.

Even though Teng Xiao was wearing light armor and lying on his desk, his imposing aura did not diminish much.

"General, the current Moon Drinker has molted into an egg and entered the cycle of reincarnation. The Wisdom Clan currently has no Dragon Lord. The Dragon Master has submitted a petition requesting the deployment of appropriate guard forces to guard the entrance and exit of the Scale Abyss Realm to prevent any accidents."

The aide, with a serious expression, handed over the top-secret document to the desk.

Teng Xiao nodded casually, his two fingers flashing with golden light as he left the mark of the Hunting Envoy on the document.

"Everything will be carried out in accordance with the law. Inform the Tianbo Bureau to contact the Jade Palace through the Huangzhong Resonance System and have them relay the matter of the Luofu Vidyadhara Dragon Venerable's reincarnation to the Marshal."

"clear."

No sooner had the order been given than Yu Zhao, the captain of the Tianbo Company, called.

Teng Xiao temporarily stopped what he was doing, released the projection permission, and his ghostly image appeared.

"Captain Haiyun, what brings you here directly?"

"The Heavenly Ship Division of the Azure Immortal Ship has sent a battle report through the Yellow Bell Resonance System: Zheng Buli has defeated Shouwusa!" Haiyun exclaimed in amazement.

The defeat of Bu Lizard was good news for the vast majority of the Immortal Ship people.

But Teng Xiao frowned unusually, looking puzzled.

"Usa had been hiding for hundreds of years, and must have finally been caught by General Shafeng. But why kill Usa outright?"

From Teng Xiao's perspective, Bu Lizhan is indeed the number one enemy of the Immortal Ship.

However, the premise is that General Xianzhou cannot spare the time to personally cause trouble for him.

Otherwise, Bu Lizhan, a scoundrel who isn't even a commander, poses no threat to General Xianzhou.

If he were to witness this, the Divine Lord would surely annihilate both his soul and spirit with a single strike.

Logically speaking, if General Xianzhou were to personally take action and capture Bu Lizhan alive, he would gain even greater benefits.

wrong…!

I haven't heard of anyone becoming the new Cloud Rider Sword Master of the Yaoqing Immortal Ship. It's unlikely that Sha Feng will leave the main ship easily unless Usa delivers himself to the ship.

Teng Xiao snapped out of his daze and realized the problem.

The greatest threat to the Buli War Chief is its ability to command all the Buli clan's Great Nest Fathers.

It was an absolute bloodline suppression, with each race's great hive father ruling over the pack of wolves, forming a bountiful coalition that struck fear into the hearts of many factions and civilizations throughout the world.

Simply leaving the battlefront is not worth General Xianzhou risking his flagship to personally lead an expedition to hunt it down.

A general must obtain the marshal's permission to leave the main ship, and must leave behind the Cloud Rider Sword Master and the Wisdom Dragon Lord to guard it.

The reason Cangcheng suffered from this was because it didn't have a Dragon Lord in charge back then.

It was precisely because of the precedent of the tragedy in Cangcheng that the Marshal moved the garrison to Xuling, which also lacked the power of the Dragon Lord, and ordered him, the former general of Cangcheng, to take over the important duties of the Luofu Cloud Cavalry.

Although the Cloud Cavalry Swordsman's combat strength is the best among the three armies, he is inferior to the Wisdom Dragon Lord.

Could it be... that Qi Zhimu has become the leader of the Yaoqing Sword?

Teng Xiao's mind was racing, but Hai Yun had no idea what he was thinking. After hearing the question, she shook her head slightly.

"General Shafeng did not make a move. Wusa was the former Cloud Cavalry Guard of Cangcheng, and was killed by Qi Zhimu, the current Yaoqing Guard."

"!!"

Teng Xiao's eyes widened suddenly, and he was momentarily lost in thought.

Xiaowei, not Jianzhang...

Being able to kill Bu Liren's leader already far exceeds the strength required to become a sword master, so why is he still a valiant guard?

Luo Fuyun, the leader of the sword-wielding cavalry, needs to be selected through a martial arts ceremony, unlike the martial-minded Yao Qing.

In short, whichever Cloud Cavalry unit is the strongest and most capable is the one.

It would be more appropriate to call it the Martial Master than the Sword Master.

Not to mention Cangcheng back then and Yaoqing now, even looking at the entire Immortal Ship Cloud Cavalry Guard, you can't find a freak who can control thousands of swords at the same time.

It seems I'll have to ask Sha Feng or Qi Zhimu when I get the chance.

"General, General?"

"Hmm... I permit this matter to be published on the front page of all Luofu's online channels. As for Qi Zhimu's past identity as a Cangcheng native... let's leave that out."

Such a big matter should be discussed with the general personally.

"Great minds think alike." Haiyun nodded, decisively ended the real-time communication, and began making arrangements.

Teng Xiao stopped dealing with important matters and began to ponder deeply.

After a while, he thought of a possibility that Qi Zhimu had not become the leader of Yaoqing Sword.

It's not complicated; it's all about going to the battlefield and killing more monstrous creatures.

If he becomes the Sword Master, given Sha Feng's impatient nature, he will inevitably request the Marshal to personally lead the expedition frequently.

Once the application is approved, Sword Master will be stationed on the Yaoqing main ship alongside Dragon Lord Tianfengjun.

"well……"

Teng Xiao sighed deeply.

They witnessed their homes turn into ruins before their very eyes, and their loved ones vanished.

Fighting on the front lines and bathing in the blood of the wicked is a crucial belief that supports the surviving Cloud Riders of Cangcheng to continue their journey.

As a fellow native of Cangcheng, he understood Qi Zhimu's feelings.

Perhaps this is why Qi Zhimu refused to take up the position of Yaoqing Sword Master.

……

At the same time, the Azure Immortal Boat was at the bottom of the Netherworld.

Staring at the massive, headless remains of the Bu Li human on the ground, Sha Feng, his guards, and the Youyu warriors all wore expressions of disbelief.

"You mean, you accidentally shattered Usa's heart, which is why you couldn't capture him alive?"

"Yes," Qi Zhimu said calmly.

This shouldn't be normal... Everyone wanted to scratch their heads.

When did Bu Liren's regenerative power become so weak?

Even if your heart is blown to pieces, or even your head, as long as your body isn't reduced to dust, it can quickly regenerate.

"Come on, greet me with the same attack you used to kill Usa," Sha Feng suddenly said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Zhimu, who had been standing quietly to the side, suddenly moved.

Without warning, without any build-up, a single punch was thrown.

The force of the punch caused a sonic boom that seemed to tear the air apart, piercing straight into Sha Feng's heart.

Sha Feng's pupils contracted sharply, and his arms crossed in an instant to block.

But just as the fist made contact with the arms, Qi Zhimu pulled back his fist and raised his elbow upward, slamming it heavily into Sha Feng's arms.

Bang-!

A terrifying burst of energy suddenly erupted.

A blur flew backward and crashed through the wall behind it, which was made of a special material.

Almost simultaneously, the aftershocks of the violent attack swept outwards, and those around were violently thrown away before they could even cry out.

Some people tumbled to the ground in disarray, while others barely managed to stop their momentum by crashing into a stone pillar.

In an instant, objects were overturned, and chaos ensued.

"Pfft...cough cough cough..."

As Sha Feng struggled to his feet amidst the broken walls and rubble, a mouthful of blood splattered onto the ground.

He raised his head and looked at Qi Zhimu, who was still holding his elbow raised several feet away, and his eyes were filled with shock.

Not only was the direct attack incredibly destructive, but it also carried an even more terrifying hidden force, penetrating his defenses and catching him completely off guard.

The moment I felt that terrifying power surge into my body, if I hadn't subconsciously used my Commander-level power to defend myself, it probably wouldn't have been as simple as coughing up blood.

His heart will surely be shattered by Qi Zhimu's elbow strike.
