Chapter 304: Blood Essence

Chapter 304: Blood Essence

A flash of crimson light surged and then vanished.

On the hillside, Wen Min's eyes widened in shock.

Young Aji tightly held his filthy sister, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints.

"Is... is this Mr. Qi's doing?"

The scene before them was almost beyond Aji's imagination.

Even modern weapons could hardly create such a terrifying spectacle.

If it could be compared to anything, perhaps only the special effects of a terrifying god's attack in a movie would be comparable.

But those were just movies, where the power of a god is exaggerated in every possible way.

However, even those couldn't compare to the awe-inspiring sight before them.

Aji's young mind was filled with a whirlwind of emotions.

"Is the gentleman... comparable to a god?"

Meanwhile, inside the steel prison of the camp.

A look of surprise crossed Kuang Huan's face.

"The sounds... have stopped!"

Beside Kuang Huan, a bearded man widened his eyes. "A flash of red light... and then nothing?"

They were imprisoned deep within the dungeon.

Yet even so, they had heard the earlier sounds of gunfire and explosions.

At first, they thought the camp was under attack, feeling uneasy and unsure of what fate awaited them.

Because they had never thought this camp could be breached.

After all, this was deep inside Wugui territory.

Three thousand soldiers were stationed here, and it would be extremely difficult for the country of Yuelang to penetrate so deep into enemy territory.

Organizing a high-intensity attack like this would be difficult for Yuelang.

They figured it must be a small-scale raid.

However, suddenly, in an instant, the world turned crimson red.

This scene left Kuang Huan completely stunned.

The bearded man, who was imprisoned with him, was also utterly bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

Especially after the massive burst of red light, followed by a rumbling noise, the entire camp suddenly fell silent.

The sounds of gunfire vanished, and there was no longer any alarm.

The soldiers stationed in the dungeon seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

It was eerily unsettling, to say the least.

"What exactly happened?"

"Why is there no sound at all?"

The two were utterly perplexed.

In their minds, the image of the crimson light lingered.

They had no idea what had happened.

Tap, tap.

At this moment, footsteps echoed through the dungeon.

The light footsteps were particularly clear and loud in the dungeon.

The two of them held their breath but also felt a slight sense of relief.

Hearing footsteps meant the camp was fine.

The soldiers stationed there were probably just patrolling.

They looked towards the direction of the footsteps.

There, was an iron gate, the only entrance and exit to the dungeon.

Suddenly, a crimson glow flashed.

Before the two could even react, they saw the iron gate suddenly break apart, as if it had been sliced through like tofu.

This scene indeed startled Kuang Huan and the bearded man.

"What... what's going on? What kind of weapon is that? Who is it?" The bearded man had countless questions running through his mind.

At this moment, through the broken iron gate, a tall, slender figure appeared, his handsome and elegant face smiling.

"Kuang Huan, I've come to get you out."

"Mr. Qi... Qi!"

Seeing the man's face, Kuang Huan's heart was overwhelmed with shock.

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, then looked at Kuang Huan, "You know each other? What's going on?"

Today, the phrase he had said the most was "What's going on?"

Qi Yuan stood there, looking at Kuang Huan, and said calmly, "Two days ago, I got a call from your wife. I heard that you were in trouble in Wugui and were captured by their military.

So, I came here to bring you back."

Qi Yuan spoke casually.

Kuang Huan felt a rush of emotions, then gratitude.

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, then said, "So all that commotion above was your doing? Your team is really impressive. And... that crimson light, what kind of weapon was it? Why have I never heard of it?"

It was as if the bearded man had a million questions in his heart.

He voiced the questions Kuang Huan had as well.

Qi Yuan looked at the two and said plainly, "The crimson light, that was just my sword energy.

Alright, follow me. We're going back to Qin Yuan Nation."

As Qi Yuan spoke, he swung the long sword in his hand again.

The steel prison gate ahead of them shattered instantly.

Seeing this, the bearded man's eyes widened.

Kuang Huan, on the other hand, remained calm.

He knew Qi Yuan was a cultivator.

Slicing through an iron gate with one sword strike... shouldn't be anything special.

"Sir, this bearded man is also from Qin Yuan Nation. Can he come with us?" Kuang Huan asked cautiously.

Charging at the three of them, how could they possibly resist?

This terrifying creature was undoubtedly the product of the Wugui people's human experimentation.

He was deeply afraid.

However, in the face of this colossal beast, Qi Yuan remained calm and unruffled.

He glanced at the label on the terrifying beast, laughed heartily, and put his hands on his hips. “This... is what they call a god?”

On the beast’s label, the words "God-Making Project - Giant Power God No. 1" were written.

Clearly, the Wugui people had conducted biological experiments and created a terrifying beast, which they called a god.

The sword in his hand shook once more.

"A god... without even its own bones, made of metal?"

Qi Yuan chuckled, and a crimson light flashed.

The enormous beast, weighing over a hundred tons, suddenly froze, suspended in mid-air.

The terrifying creature was instantly torn apart, reduced to a massive pile of blood and flesh.

Metallic bones dropped to the ground, scattering in an eerie manner.

Seeing this, the bearded man gasped for breath, his view of Qi Yuan changed at that moment.

Kuang Huan's eyes were burning with excitement. He couldn't help but ask, “Mr. Qi... can I one day slay such a beast with a single sword?”

Seeing Qi Yuan slay the beast with a single sword ignited his desire.

Is this the power of a cultivator?

Doesn’t this kind of power mean he could send a tank flying with a single sword?

“Of course you can, it’s not difficult,” Qi Yuan replied, clapping his hands.

The sword in his hand trembled again.

Suddenly, a blood-red orb formed on the sword.

Qi Yuan’s eyes immediately gleaned a wealth of information.

This blood-red orb was the power core of the terrifying beast.

This power core also came from those civilians.

It could be said that the Wugui people extracted the civilians' blood and used some special technology to create this blood-red beast.

This blood-red beast was also referred to as a god.

It must be said that for ordinary people, and even for gene warriors, this terrifying beast could indeed be considered a god.

In terms of sheer physical strength, this blood-red beast had reached the level of a typical Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Ordinary shells couldn't harm it at all.

Looking at the essence of the blood, Qi Yuan’s eyes reflected various emotions: "If I consume this blood, my martial arts talent... would significantly improve."

The essence of blood extracted by the Wugui people created this blood-red beast. For Qi Yuan, the greatest use of this blood essence was to enhance martial arts talent.

"My martial arts talent is already strong; I don't need this."

He wasn’t Shi Yi, after all.

Moreover, drinking human blood—what if he caught a virus?

And this blood only boosted a specific bloodline, which was already solidified.

What he wanted was to forge his own martial path and bloodline.

His martial arts, he would be the pioneer.

Otherwise, wouldn’t he have some ancestor lording over him?

He looked at the lifeless bodies that had lost their vitality.

The sword in his hand trembled once more.

“Rest in peace.”

As his words echoed, the glass containers shattered instantly.

The entire steel building collapsed at that moment.

Everything was buried in an instant.

Qi Yuan carried Kuang Huan and the bearded man, appearing on the surface in a flash.

This move utterly stunned the bearded man.

He felt overwhelmed, looking at Qi Yuan as if seeing a god.

However, upon reaching the surface and seeing... the military base turned into ruins, his eyes flashed with astonishment.

The steel structures had collapsed, heavy tanks and armored vehicles were shattered, and soldiers' corpses were scattered everywhere.

This place... had turned into a dead zone!

Kuang Huan’s eyes also flashed with astonishment.

He understood.

Mr. Qi had single-handedly... killed everyone in a military camp before coming to rescue him.

"Alright, we should head back now.

I’m still in a hurry to participate in the martial arts tournament.

As for the Wugui people... once I'm done with my business, I'll come back to deal with them.

As a lawful good person, I cannot tolerate the existence of chaotic evil!"

Qi Yuan thought he was very cool today.

Qi Yuan had a good sense of self-awareness.

A person as kind as him, on TV, would be called a Saint... no, a Saint-King, and not well-liked by the audience.

But Qi Yuan didn't care.

Kuang Huan nodded at Qi Yuan's words.

Of course, if he knew what Qi Yuan was thinking, he certainly wouldn't have nodded.

You killed three thousand people with one sword... and still dare to call yourself a saint?

Beside him, the bearded man looked shocked: "Mr. Qi... are you also participating in the martial arts tournament?"

The younger generation in the bearded man’s family also had people participating in the martial arts tournament.

Seeing a man who killed a whole regiment now entering the martial arts tournament, he found it quite amusing.

"Yes, do you know any contestants in the martial arts tournament?

How strong are they? Are there any opponents worth being cautious about? My goal is to win the championship; do you think it's hard?" Qi Yuan asked lightly.

Recalling how Qi Yuan had slashed the terrifying beast underground with one sword, the bearded man showed a complex smile in his eyes: “It shouldn’t be difficult"
