Qin Dynasty: They've all turned into zombies, what's there to fear about a rebellion?

"Play...play?"

Yan Dan looked at the giant, bone-armored dog in front of her, which was even bigger than a calf and reeked of a strong stench of corpses, and her mouth twitched involuntarily.

Is this thing... a dog?

You call this thing a dog?

These are clearly demons crawling out of hell!

"Woof!"

Seemingly understanding the disdain in Su Ming's words, Wangcai let out a low growl. It arched its body slightly, its muscles tensing instantly, its scarlet eyes fixed on Yan Dan, filled with a primal desire for fresh flesh and blood.

"Imperial Preceptor... what do you mean by this?"

Suppressing his fear, Yan Dan held the severed black eyebrow across his chest, his voice hoarse, "I am no match for you. Defeat is defeat. Kill me or torture me as you please, but why... why humiliate me with such a beast?"

"humiliation?"

Su Ming seemed to have heard a joke. He jumped off the terrace and landed lightly next to Wangcai. He casually stroked Wangcai's hard, iron-like bone armor, making a "sizzling" metallic scraping sound.

"Your Excellency, it seems you've made a mistake."

Su Ming looked at him innocently. "I didn't mean to humiliate you. I just wanted to tell you a harsh truth—"

"The mechanical arts that your Mohists are so proud of are really no match for my watchdog in my eyes."

"You!" Yan Dan was so angry that he trembled all over. This was even more painful than being killed!

Don't believe me?

Su Ming shrugged. "Then try cutting it with your sword. If you can break its skin, I'll let you go today."

"Really?!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Yan Dan's eyes.

Although his black eyebrows were broken, his internal energy remained. As long as he could escape, he wouldn't have lost!

"A gentleman's word is his bond." Su Ming gestured for him to speak.

"Fine! You said it!"

Yan Dan took a deep breath and poured all her remaining internal energy into the broken sword.

"Buzz—"

The jet-black sword with the dark eyebrows let out a mournful cry, and a sharp black sword aura burst forth instantly. Although it was far less stunning than Gai Nie's Hundred Steps Flying Sword, it still carried the power to split stone and shatter monuments, and fiercely slashed towards Wangcai's head!

"Woof woof!"

Faced with this fatal blow, Wangcai not only did not dodge, but instead barked excitedly twice.

It suddenly opened its blood-red maw, and its two rows of dagger-like fangs gleamed with a chilling light in the night. It bit right into the incoming sword energy!

"Snap!"

A crisp, teeth-grinding sound.

Yan Dan's sword energy, infused with his life's work, was easily defeated by Wangcai, who devoured it as easily as a crisp cookie...

It was chewed up.

"..."

Yan Dan was completely dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at his empty hands, then at the monster dog that was crunching the sword energy like it was a snack, his mind completely blank.

This unscientific!

This isn't martial arts!

Sword energy condensed from internal force is an energy body! How could it possibly be crushed by teeth?

"As I've said, times have changed."

Su Ming patted Wangcai's big head, giving him a "you've never seen anything like this" look. "My dog's teeth have 'high-frequency vibration runes' added to them, specially designed for chewing on energy bodies. Don't even mention your little bit of sword energy, it would dare to go up and bite off a bolt of lightning from the sky."

"Awoo~"

Wangcai seemed to understand the praise, proudly raised its chin, and gave Yan Dan an extremely human-like...mocking smile.

"puff--"

Yan Dan could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His proud cultivation and the Mohist beliefs he upheld throughout his life were trampled to pieces by a dog at this moment.

"That's enough! Stop playing!"

Su Ming patted Wangcai's butt, "Just hold him down, don't let him bite you to death, I still need to keep him to exchange for ransom with the Mo family."

"Woof!"

Wangcai obeyed the order and pounced with its huge body.

Yan Dan instinctively tried to dodge, but he had just been seriously injured and his speed was nowhere near that of this monster enhanced by the T-virus.

"Bang!"

Wangcai casually placed one of its bony claws on Yan Dan's chest.

Yan Dan felt as if she were being crushed by a small mountain, her bones groaning, and she couldn't muster even the slightest strength to resist.

He was pinned to the ground, his cheek pressed against the cold iron plate. Beside him, the huge dog's head tilted its head, curiously examining him, its scarlet tongue occasionally sticking out to lick his face.

The saliva, carrying a strong stench of decay and corrosiveness, scalded Yan Dan's face with a sizzling sound.

humiliation.

This is a blatant insult!

The dignified leader of the Mohist school and a key force in the anti-Qin alliance was actually pinned to the ground and licked like a toy by a dog!

Yan Dan's eyes were bloodshot, and he was almost grinding his teeth to powder. He struggled and roared, but Wangcai's paw remained as still as Mount Tai.

"Woof! Woof woof!"

Wangcai seemed to find the toy too noisy, barked impatiently twice, and used its claws to exert a little force.

"Click."

Yan Dan's ribs broke instantly.

"Well……"

Yan Dan groaned, spat out another mouthful of blood, and then fell completely still.

"Alright, stop messing around."

Su Ming walked over and patted Wangcai's big head, as if praising an obedient child, "Good job, I'll give you an extra treat tonight, two dragon bones to gnaw on."

Wangcai wagged its tail excitedly, the tail covered in bone spurs sweeping across the ground, making the fragments of the Azure Dragon mechanical beasts clang and clatter.

Su Ming then turned his gaze to the pile of "broken copper and scrap iron" on the ground.

He crouched down, picked up a bronze gear engraved with intricate runes, and then picked up a broken mechanical linkage. His brow furrowed slightly as he fell into deep thought.

"What a waste..."

Su Ming looked at the mountain of "garbage" and felt his heart was bleeding.

These are all ancient, thousand-year-old sacred wood and refined bronze! Although the technology is a bit outdated, these materials are truly excellent! To burn them as firewood is simply a waste!

"The Mohist mechanical arts emphasize 'form,' that is, external structure."

"My Corpse Path Technology emphasizes the 'core,' the internal drive."

"If... these two were combined..."

Su Ming's eyes grew brighter and brighter as a crazy and audacious idea flashed through his mind like lightning.

Black Iron Warriors, to put it simply, is still about adding to the foundation of human beings.

But if...

If you use a sufficiently powerful corpse as the "skeleton," then assemble these top-tier mechanical parts like building with Lego bricks, and finally stuff in a high-powered "corpse energy reactor"...

What kind of monster would be created?

"No, no, ordinary bones aren't strong enough; they simply can't withstand that level of modification."

Su Ming shook his head. Ordinary corpses, even those of battle-hardened veterans, are still just mortals with limited strength.

To realize his crazy idea, there must be a sufficiently "hard" framework.

Ideally... something of god or demonic level.

Su Ming's gaze unconsciously drifted towards the depths of Xianyang Palace.

That is the location of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum.

Deep within the imperial mausoleum lies a massive bronze coffin.

Inside the coffin lay a figure exuding murderous aura, whose presence still drew out countless ghosts even decades after his death… Bai Qi, the God of Slaughter!

"If we use the skeleton of the 'God of Slaughter'..."

Su Ming's breathing became rapid instantly. "Then use the dragon tendons of the 'True Dragon' as the drive shaft, and the Mo family's 'Azure Dragon Core' as the auxiliary processor..."

"I freaking... I can build Gundams!"

Su Ming slapped his thigh suddenly, so excited he almost jumped up.

He turned around, looked at Gongshu Chou who was already terrified, and his eyes gleamed.

"Old loser! Stop crying! Stop crying over your pathetic little tricks!"

Su-Ming grabbed Gongshu Chou, pointed at the remains of the Azure Dragon scattered on the ground, his voice trembling slightly with excitement:

"Don't waste these parts, let's take them back!"

"Perfect timing, I'd like to build a 'Gundam' to play with too!"

"We'll use...we'll use the legendary God of Slaughter, Bai Qi, as the skeleton!"
