I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 471: Chapter 289: Five Peaks, Eight Mountains_3

Qin Yuesheng showed no fear, and saw that the Blazing Fire slashed and collided head-on with the weapons of those men.

Divine Skill Saber Skill, Divine Weapon.

Under the combined might, even though those weapons were all forged from precious materials, they still couldn’t withstand the impact and shattered and dissolved instantly.

With no weapons to block, the Celestial Fire Divine Blade cut directly into one man’s body; his protective Inner Strength was almost useless, and Qin Yuesheng sliced him in two with a single stroke—the man’s head and body parted in an instant.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Qin Yuesheng faced many foes alone without falling behind in the slightest. The remaining three Inner Strength experts attacked together, but all felt immense pressure—the threat of the Celestial Fire Divine Blade was simply too great.

Qin Yuesheng swung his blade at one, while his left hand shot out and seized another by the shoulder, immediately triggering the Decomposition skill.

[Decomposition success rate: 2.36%]

"Yes."

As soon as Qin Yuesheng finished speaking, that man’s figure vanished without warning, leaving only a pile of skin, bones, and flesh on the ground.

This move utterly stunned the people nearby—the shock was far beyond even Qin Yuesheng’s display of the Celestial Fire Divine Blade,

A living, breathing man suddenly vanishing into thin air—such an eerie event couldn’t help but make their skin crawl; anyone claiming otherwise would be lying.

Even Qin Yuesheng himself couldn’t help raising his eyebrows in surprise—he hadn’t expected to get that lucky, actually hitting a 2.36% success rate.

With such a move, the hearts of the remaining experts were chilled in fear, which only made Qin Yuesheng fight with renewed vigor. In no time he killed another opponent.

Thus, only one opponent remained, whose will to fight completely crumbled. With a look of terror, he turned to flee.

But how could Qin Yuesheng give him the chance? A deft move seized the man, and with one thrust the blade pierced into his back.

Screech, screech, screech!

Blazing Fire burned his chest. The man looked down at the blade tip protruding from his own chest, his head slumped to the side, and in an instant all life left his body.

"Uh..." Changqing, standing to the side, couldn’t help but feel awkward. Qin Yuesheng’s strength was this ferocious—even if he and Fu Bo fought together, they likely wouldn’t be a match for him.

At this moment, Fu Bo rushed over, having witnessed Qin Yuesheng’s entire fight and kill process from start to finish.

Brutal—this was simply too brutal.

"Second Brother, this brother here just saved us both from disaster. Hurry up and thank him," Fu Bo said at once.

Changqing had rarely admired anyone in his life, but after witnessing Qin Yuesheng’s strength, he couldn’t help but concede. He immediately cupped his fist and said, "Many thanks, brother, for saving our lives."

"No need. I saved you two because there’s something I’d like to ask of you." Qin Yuesheng explained the matter with Sanhuang, but did not disclose that he was secretly supporting Sanhuang. He simply played the role of someone within Sanhuang’s power.

Hearing that Sanhuang had now become King of Jiangnan, commanding all word in that land, the two realized that if they served him, life would be much smoother.

So the two of them agreed readily, first because Qin Yuesheng saved them, second because they didn’t actually reject the offer in their hearts.

Qin Yuesheng suddenly struck, planting the Life and Death Ice Seal on both their shoulders. In the blink of an eye, chilling ice energy seeped into their bodies; Changqing and Fu Bo’s faces changed on the spot.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Qin Yuesheng replied calmly, "Don’t be nervous. This is a necessary step to become retainers of the King of Jiangnan. As long as you don’t betray the King of Jiangnan, nothing will happen to you."

Feeling the lingering chill within, Changqing and Fu Bo exchanged a glance, both suddenly having the uneasy impression that they’d boarded a pirate ship and couldn’t get off.

But matters had come to this—they had no other choice. With their strength less than Qin Yuesheng’s, even if they wanted to regret, they couldn’t beat him in a fight.

With everything settled, Changqing and Fu Bo asked Qin Yuesheng about the situation in Jiangnan and whom to seek to meet the King of Jiangnan. The two parties then parted ways: Qin Yuesheng and his companion continued north, while the other two headed toward Jiangnan.

...

Chengshan City was the city nearest the Jiangnan region among the Five Mountains and Eight Hills. The city was surrounded by mountains on three sides—a typical city among the peaks.

Compared to Jiangnan, Western Shu, and the Northern Desert which were plagued by rebellion and war, the Central Plains was likely the least affected by the disaster caused by the thirty-six rebel bands.

Now, the Great Tang had begun sending out troops to wipe out the rebels. The Central Plains would definitely be the first region to be pacified.

Getting off his horse, Qin Yuesheng looked up at the city walls outside Chengshan City, then led his horse with Bai Ningxuan through the gates.

The region of Five Mountains and Eight Hills had a complex terrain—mountains connecting to mountains, peaks following peaks. Though there were man-made dirt roads, they were still hard to traverse; a three-day journey elsewhere would take at least six days here.

The ruggedness of the mountain roads increased the hardship of travel.

Chengshan City marked the border between Jiangnan and the Central Plains; stepping into this city meant you had officially entered the Central Plains.

"Not bad—though it’s surrounded by mountains, this place looks rather prosperous," Qin Yuesheng remarked, gazing at the city streets.

"Chengshan City’s medicine resources are very abundant. Herbalists often find hundred-year-old ginseng and Lingzhi deep in the mountains, attracting many herbal merchants here," Bai Ningxuan explained.

"So that’s how it is."

After wandering Chengshan City for a while, the two casually found an inn intending to stay a couple of days, rest up, and then move on.

Just as they stepped into the inn’s front door, Qin Yuesheng immediately noticed something off—the beams and columns were covered with rare red talismans, standing out and drawing stares at a glance.

Suddenly, Qin Yuesheng felt the Celestial Demon pouch at his waist tremble slightly. He opened it and took out the Exorcism Toad, which he hadn’t touched in some days. freёwebnoѵel.com

Upon its back, on the glazed disc, five hundred units of baleful aura had appeared.

This place has a serious problem.
