Chapter 266 Morimo's Attack
Ling Ling gazed at a scene she might never forget. This scene might have come from her nightmares.
She saw a building that crumbled and became dust, the ground painted red, the scent of blood in the air attacking her nose, the foul smell of burning meat, and corpses flying in the environment.
Ling Ling walked until she arrived at a place where she saw a sea of burned corpses in a deep pit. These corpses were so black that it was impossible to discern their identities.
Turning her head, Ling Ling looked at Ye Kai. She saw that he was silent, turning to look at her. He placed his hand on her shoulder, and just like how she had suddenly appeared in this place, she disappeared from there and appeared in a forest.
"Ye Kai?" Ling Ling didn't know what she should ask. Should she ask how they disappeared from one place and appeared in another? Or what had happened to that place? Who were those corpses? Who did that? There were many questions, but she couldn't find the words to ask.
"Are you here?" Ye Kai asked.
Ling Ling didn't know who he was speaking to, but in the next moment, she understood. She saw a woman appear in the forest.
This woman was beautiful, but her face was half-burned. The contrast between her white and blackened skin was too gruesome. She walked on one leg, as the other was missing. Ling Ling also noticed a peculiar thing: this woman had white wolf ears and a tail.
"Wolf woman," Ling Ling murmured, recognizing her.
"You did well to survive," Ye Kai said, smiling.
Ling Ling saw the woman's body flash with a white light. The light was so dazzling that she was blinded for a moment. When her vision cleared, she saw the wolf woman with the missing leg once again. Her half-burned face had healed, revealing her beautiful face.
The wolf woman now appeared as a dazzling beauty with an elegant face and fierce eyes. She gazed at Ling Ling for a moment before kneeling in front of Ye Kai.
During this moment of gaze, Ling Ling felt as if her entire being was being searched. An unbearable feeling surged through her body, and she trembled.
"Tell me what happened? Why did the whole kingdom die, even with three hundred Martial Arts Emperors?" Ye Kai asked.
"There are ten spiritual artists and a terrifying... monster," the wolf woman spoke with terror in her voice.
Ling Ling wondered what kind of monster could instill such fear in this wolf woman. This woman's terror sent shivers down her spine.
"So they didn't attack one spiritual artist per kingdom but attacked all at once. I think they understood this from past failures. Well, we'll just kill Morimo today," Ye Kai muttered something that Ling Ling didn't understand. One thing she did comprehend was that Ye Kai had been lying to her about many things. Despite that, she didn't feel any anger or unpleasantness toward Ye Kai. She felt grateful to him because he had given her something that helped her restore her cultivation, and she was determined to raise her cultivation even higher than before.

In the midst of a tranquil forest glade, dappled sunlight filtered through the emerald canopy, casting a mesmerizing pattern of shadows on the ground below. Here, beside the crystal-clear pool formed by the cascading waterfall, three women in revealing attire indulged in a moment of pure relaxation.
The waterfall's gentle rush and the harmony of chirping birds created a melodic backdrop for their laughter and hushed conversations. Their clothing, daring yet tasteful, seemed to blend seamlessly with the untouched beauty of the natural surroundings, as if they were an extension of the wilderness itself.
As the women reclined on sun-warmed rocks, their feet dipped into the cool water. Each playful movement sent ripples dancing across the mirrored surface, while droplets sparkled in the air like liquid diamonds caught in the sunlight. Their vivacious spirits shone through as they engaged in a spirited water fight, giggles echoing amidst the rustling leaves and the cascade's gentle song.
The sunlight kissed their exposed skin, creating a breathtaking interplay of highlights and shadows. Beads of moisture adorned their limbs, catching the light like delicate dewdrops on petals. Their figures, gracefully outlined by the sun's warm embrace, seemed to belong to a realm of ethereal beauty.
However, suddenly the laughter of the woman stopped as they had serious expressions on their faces and looked around. They saw hundreds, two... No six hundred women, all wearing elegant dresses, standing there with imposing postures.
These three women, looking at the six hundred women surrounding them, were Martial Arts Emperors.
"Big sister, I'm sure that it's impossible to survive this," one woman spoke, who only covered her nipples and private parts with a small patch of cloth. With her red hair, she looked beautiful.
"Let's do whatever it takes; we have to survive," the big sister, who had long black hair and was wearing only a skimpy panty and bra, spoke.
"If you surrender, we won't attack you. But if you resist, then..." Out of the six hundred, one woman took the lead and spoke.
Upon hearing those words, the three sisters looked around. Seeing six hundred Martial Arts Emperors who had appeared out of nowhere, they exchanged glances and understood each other through their eyes.
"We are surrendering." These three women raised their hands and spoke.
"It was easy to catch these three... Lucky for us that they got separated from the others," Ye Kai said with a smile, as he decided to add those three women to his maid collection.
Now he thought, all five women who served Morimo were going to be his maids. Just this thought made Ye Kai laugh.
However, this wasn't the end of it. Ye Kai checked and there were seven men with powerful spiritual cultivation with Morimo. These three women had weak spiritual cultivation, so it was easy to catch them with the threat of six hundred Martial Emperors. These women must be thinking that sooner or later Morimo and his men would save them.
Ye Kai laughed as he thought about these women. The moment they said "surrender," they had become his slaves. Now they couldn't oppose him no matter what they tried to do.
With the addition of three Spiritual Artists, Ye Kai had more confidence to kill Morimo. He wished that the other two women would also be here, but those two women had serious injuries, so he couldn't call them.
He had wished from the start that he had used so many Martial Emperors to force those two women from Dark Vega Kingdom to surrender to him.
Well, there's no point in thinking about such things. Now that he had defeated three people from Morimo's group, his next goal was to kill the others. But it seemed others were not like these women, stupid, so they were not getting separated from each other.
Those seven powerful Spiritual Artists, along with Morimo's strength that could destroy those seven Spiritual Artists, were too much to handle.
As they were heading to the Dark Rigel Kingdom, they were destroying everything in their path: the forest, rivers, lakes, and mountains.
"Now, how should I kill them all?" Ye Kai wondered. He decided to attack them with all three hundred Martial Arts Emperors he has. Not to mention, he also has four spiritual artists, although one had just become a spiritual artist, she was still a spiritual artist.
According to the information Ye Kai got from those three women, there were not just seven spiritual artists Morimo has; there were three more. However, those three didn't seem to take orders from Morimo; they seemed equal to Morimo.
One of them was Charles Mountfill, and there was one woman and one bulky man.
The system indicated that those three had left the kingdom, so now was the best time to eliminate Morimo and his seven Spiritual Artists.

In the harsh daylight, an ominous procession moved through the forest, leaving devastation in its wake. The towering humanoid monster led the way, each step causing the earth to tremble as if recoiling from its grotesque presence. As it walked, the imposing figure destroyed the very fabric of the forest, its twisted body tearing through trees and underbrush with unstoppable force.
The creature's sickly, pallid skin scraped against the vegetation, leaving a trail of rough, scaly patches that glistened with an eerie sheen. Its elongated limbs swung with a destructive purpose, sinewy muscles visibly bulging as they propelled the monster forward. Its claw-like nails tore at the foliage, leaving deep gouges and splintered remains in its wake.
With every advancing step, the forest seemed to shrink in horror, its natural beauty giving way to chaos. The creature's malevolent eyes glowed with fiery intensity, and as they fixed upon its surroundings, the very air seemed to crackle with an otherworldly energy. The brow ridge cast ominous shadows, accentuating the fearsome contours of its face as it reveled in the destruction it wrought.
Beside the creature, the seven men moved cautiously, their expressions a mix of awe and trepidation. The forest, once a sanctuary of tranquility, now resonated with the cacophony of destruction. The tangled mass of hair on the monster's head swayed with each violent movement, a wild and untamed appendage that mirrored the chaos it created.
