Strongest War Emperor

"Oh, God! I just prayed for a savior and promised not to touch a woman for a month, and you send me a peerless beauty to be my rescuer. Aren’t you just torturing me?" Ling Shaoyi wailed.

When the members of the Jifeng Mercenary Corps behind him heard this wail, every one of them felt the sudden urge to strangle their Vice Leader on the spot.

It was bad enough that the lecher was usually surrounded by beautiful women, but to still be thinking about them at a time like this!

Sure enough, karma was swift. The moment Ling Shaoyi’s wail escaped his lips, he let out a bloodcurdling scream...

It was because he had been distracted. A jet of flame from the Green-eyed Fire Lion’s mouth scorched his thigh, making him howl in pain.

If it weren’t for the astonishing protection of the scoundrel’s Armor and the Spiritual Power Shield that blocked most of the fire’s Energy, that single blast would have cooked him crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, ready to be served for dinner.

But as far as everyone was concerned, their Vice Leader, Ling Shaoyi, being at a disadvantage wasn’t the deadliest problem.

The deadliest problem was that the Bone Demon and the woman were acting as if they hadn’t even seen them, continuing to slaughter their way through the horde of Demon Beasts... It was as if they had gotten addicted to the killing!

"Oh, beautiful lady! Mighty Mr. Bone Demon! Please, come over here and join us! There’s strength in numbers! Man can conquer destiny! Many hands make light work! One person can’t carry a thousand-pound load, but many can move a mountain! A single thread breaks easily, but ten thousand can pull a ship! One person can’t even trample grass, but a crowd can pave a highway..."

Ling Shaoyi shouted at the top of his lungs.

Everyone wanted to weep... If he had just kept his mouth shut, it might have been fine. But the moment he shouted, the peerless beauty and the Bone Demon started moving even farther away, as if he were the plague itself!

’Damn it all, would it kill you to just shut up for a second?!’

The members of the Jifeng Mercenary Corps were overcome with tearless despair.

"Damn. If you didn’t look so different from Old Chu, I’d swear you two were brothers." A mocking voice drifted down from the sky as, before everyone’s eyes, a young man in black robes slowly descended.

The black-robed young man swept an indifferent gaze over the members of the Jifeng Mercenary Corps, then walked over to the side of the peerless beauty.

He then fell in behind the Bone Demon and began slaughtering his way in another direction.

’Damn it all, what is the world coming to? Some punk at the Spirit Martial Realm dares to be this arrogant? He really came into a horde of Demon Beasts just to act cool? You think you can come and go as you please just because you’re hiding behind a woman? You’ll regret this!’ An inexplicable surge of jealousy flared in Ling Shaoyi’s heart.

Meanwhile, Shen Lang had just landed, his gaze already sweeping across the horde of Demon Beasts.

’This is a little strange. These Demon Beasts are quite intelligent, yet they’ve all gone berserk. There’s a wide variety of species here, and many are natural enemies... But right now, they’re moving like a well-trained army, flanking and encircling with perfect coordination, forcing this Mercenary Corps into a corner.’

’No one would believe there isn’t a hidden mastermind controlling them... Still, to easily control thousands of berserk Demon Beasts, including so many at the Seventh and Eighth Level... that’s no simple feat.’

A powerful expert could easily use a mighty Divine Thought to shatter a weaker person’s Sea of Consciousness.

But using Divine Thought to control a weaker being was something most people were incapable of, with the exception of those who specialized in Spiritual Attacks.

And here there were thousands of Demon Beasts!

What’s more, these were Demon Beasts whose Divine Sense had already been clouded by the Supreme Yin Qi!

Among these Demon Beasts were several at the powerful Seventh and Eighth Levels... like the Green-eyed Fire Lion fighting Ling Shaoyi to a standstill.

If the Desolate Domain Demon Ape, Yuan Bupu, were here, with his Cultivation at the King Martial Realm Second Heaven, it wouldn’t take him more than a few seconds to slaughter every last one of these Demon Beasts. But asking him to control even a few of them with his Divine Thought? That would be far too difficult for him.

If he were asked to control these thousands of Demon Beasts, he’d probably just opt to bash his head against a wall.

Something that even Yuan Bupu, a King Martial Realm Second Heaven expert, couldn’t do was now happening right here in this canyon. Shen Lang couldn’t help the thrill that surged through him.

Theoretically, whatever was controlling Seventh and Eighth Level Demon Beasts had to be at least a Tenth Level Demon Beast itself.

In other words, a Transformed Demon Beast at the King Martial Realm.

The question was, if it were truly powerful enough to have reached the King Martial Realm, why would it need to go to all this trouble?

It could just reveal itself and annihilate the entire Mercenary Corps with a single strike.

Why bother dragging this out for so long?

Suddenly, Shen Lang thought of a rare Exotic Beast. A cold smirk touched his lips as he activated his Silver Eyes of Truth.

Under the power of the Silver Eyes of Truth, he could see bizarre, silvery threads emerging from a single point, controlling the thousands of Demon Beasts like marionettes!

"It really is an Evil Eye Lord!"

Shen Lang was both shocked and delighted, and his gaze grew fervent.

The Evil Eye is one of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts of the Star Continent. It’s an exceptionally bizarre and rare type of Demon Beast, highly intelligent and skilled in mental control and various beam attacks.

They normally dwell deep within the Abyss and almost never appear on the surface.

He never thought he would actually run into one here!

Just how bizarre was it...?

Even before reaching the King Martial Realm and achieving Transformation, it could control thousands of berserk Demon Beasts in this canyon. In terms of control via Divine Thought, it had already surpassed the Desolate Domain Demon Ape, a King Martial Realm expert. Such an anomaly was practically unheard of.

As for how rare they were, legend had it that the Evil Eye’s progenitor was the Six-winged Centipede, from which it mutated. Across the entire Human Realm, one would be lucky to find even ten!
