C137 A complete victory

Ye Yang beheaded the Sixth Rank Beast King, igniting the passion of the tens of thousands of soldiers. They saw the dawn of victory.

Ye Yang took a deep breath, opened the "Heaven Stealing" rune on his body, and quickly returned to the Genuine Essence. At the same time, the spiritual energy operated, stepping on a long sword, it flew towards Luo Xuefeng.

The great blade in Luo Xuefeng's hand clashed fiercely with the Fifth Rank Demon Beast, the King Kong Demon Ape.

However, Luo Xuefeng's cultivation was too low, and was unable to unleash the might of the blade in his hand. Fortunately, the blade was extremely sharp, and posed a great threat to the King Kong Demon Ape.

After such a long time, Luo Xuefeng was already beginning to feel a bit out of breath. Using a treasured saber that was almost as tall as him had consumed a great deal of his true essence.

Suddenly, a sword appeared and slashed down at the ape. The ape hurriedly used its arm to block the attack.

Puff.

The blood-red light beam splashed in the air and chopped off an arm that was as thick as a water tank.

"Big Brother!" Luo Xuefeng exclaimed in shock when he saw Ye Yang's figure.

He kept fighting with the King Kong Demon Ape and didn't dare to be distracted at all. Although Ye Yang and the others were shocked, he didn't dare to be distracted at all.

"Hurry up and get rid of him," Ye Yang said as he released the seal in his hand. This was an attack that was formed from the spiritual energy that he had learned from Mu Yuqing.

Back then within the Trembling Feather Secret Realm, it was this exact move that Mu Yuqing used that almost caused Feng Wuchi and his party to be completely annihilated.

However, Ye Yang had only learnt a little of it, and had not refined it yet. Furthermore, Ye Yang's spiritual energy could not compare to Mu Yuqing's, if Mu Yuqing had used a move, this King Kong Demon Ape would definitely have been hacked into two halves on the spot.

But even so, cutting off one of the arms of the King Kong Demon Ape had greatly reduced its fighting strength, and it had achieved its goal.

With a wave of the long spear in hand, coupled with Luo Xuefeng, the armed King Kong Demon Ape was killed in just a few moves.

The two of them did not stop and went straight for Ye Yuhan. Although Ye Yang and Luo Xuefeng's fighting strength had decreased greatly, but the combination of the three of them was still very powerful.

In the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, the Fifth Rank Demon Beast let out an unwilling roar, and was cut into two.

Ye Yang reached out and took the Giant Python's corpse into his storage ring. Adding on the Giant Centipede and the King Kong Demon Ape that he collected earlier, the inside of the Dimensional Ring was piled up like a mountain.

After taking care of the high levelled beasts, Ye Yang brought the two of them to quickly retreat, dragging his exhausted body to continue his attack.

Seeing that the defensive line of Eight Desolations City had been stabilized, Ye Yang jumped onto the city gate.

As the Lunar Shadow opened and closed, arrows were constantly being shot out. Just like before, they were used to using the range of the Lunar Shadow to occasionally rescue soldiers who were about to lose their lives.

The current Ye Yang was covered in blood, and other than his eyes, the blood on his body had quickly turned into a thick armor, making him look like a god of death from hell.

However, in the hearts of all the Eight Desolations City soldiers, Ye Yang was their guardian, and right now, his image had already been deeply imprinted in their minds, and could never be erased.

Even when they had grown old, they still told their descendants about the extraordinary charm of Tianwu Marquis.

The great battle continued until the afternoon. Finally, before the sky turned dark, the Eight Desolations City Army, led by Ye Yang, killed all the beasts there.

After fighting for more than eight hours, the blood in front of the Eight Desolations City s gate had already formed a puddle and even the shallowest part of it could be submerged.

In the end, when he was counting the casualties, the warriors of Eight Desolations City had sacrificed more than fifteen thousand. This number made Ye Yang's heart feel extremely heavy.

Fifteen thousand fresh lives were lost just like that. This was something Ye Yang, who had experienced the battlefield for the first time in his life, found it hard to accept.

However, Ye Yang realized that Ye Lingtian and the others did not have much sadness, even the soldiers who were still alive did not feel that much sadness.

Ye Yang pulled a soldier and asked, "Aren't you sad that so many of your comrades have sacrificed themselves?

The soldier who was sweeping the battlefield saw Ye Yang asking himself a question, and immediately replied respectfully. "Reporting to Lord Wu Hou, we are not afraid of death, as long as our relatives can live, our lives can continue. We have worked hard to cultivate in order to protect our families."

"Protect your family and protect them," Ye Yang muttered to himself, as if he thought of the ancient society written in his lessons when he was young.

At that time, people only knew how to work hard and let themselves live in nature. Their enemies were only beasts in nature.

But with the progress of civilization, humans became more and more powerful. With the emergence of civilization, war also appeared. Thus, people stopped fighting with beasts and started to kill each other.

Flames flashed in the distance, where the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers were being burned. In a large-scale battle, the corpses of both humans and magical beasts were not allowed to be buried.

With heavy footsteps, he walked towards the corpse that had been burnt to ashes.

When the soldiers saw that Ye Yang had arrived, they all knelt down on one knee and paid their respects to the Tianwu Marquis.

Ye Yang waved his hands towards them, telling them to get up, then he faced the ashes in front of him and bowed deeply.

They were the real heroes of Eight Desolations City. They used their most precious lives in exchange for the peace of their loved ones. This was the most honorable home for their martial cultivator.

Seeing that Ye Yang actually saluted the ashes of some ordinary soldiers with his noble status in the Tianwu Marquis, the soldiers were moved to the point that their eyes turned red.

When Ye Yang saw Wang Ce coming to his side, Ye Yang said, "Governor Wang, after the Beast Tide ends, we will erect a stone tablet at the Eight Desolations City. It is taller than any building at the Eight Desolations City, and will carve the names of all our sacrificed soldiers on it for everyone to pay homage to."

"I said that their names will forever be recorded in the Eight Desolations City's history book, so that their children and grandchildren will feel proud seeing this name. I'll leave this matter to you."

Wang Ce's face was filled with respect as he said, "Rest assured Sir, this lowly one will definitely settle this matter well!" Wang Ce's face was full of respect as he built a tablet for ordinary soldiers, which had never appeared before in the Tianwu Empire.

The glory on the battlefield only belonged to the leader, which was why a general's achievements were said to be like dried up bones. A peerless general had his name filled with the bones of countless soldiers.

But in all of history, which famous general had ever set up a monument for an ordinary soldier? Most soldiers were born poor. Whether they joined the army or died, no one cared about them. It was a type of grief.

's actions caused Wang Ce, who was similarly born into the same grass, to be inexplicably moved. It turned out that what Ye Yang had said before was not to boost their morale; he had really kept his promise.

That night, the entire army didn't become depressed because of the sacrifice of their comrades. Instead, they celebrated their victory without restraint.

Ye Yang was influenced by them, and the depression in his heart had been diluted a lot.

To be willing to sacrifice one's life for one's loved ones was a great benefit to one's life. There was no need to deliberately mourn.

At night, the bonfire continued as before. Ye Yang brought out the three corpses of the demonic beasts, and when the five hundred meter tall Giant Centipede appeared, the entire audience immediately cried out in alarm.

Currently, there were not only soldiers on the inner city's square. There were also some passionate citizens who had brought out their own food to celebrate with their soldiers.

Although the Giant Centipede was already dead, the tyrannical power emitted by its body still scared the low-level soldiers to the point that they started to sweat cold sweat.

Some of the commoners even spread out to hide in the distance, secretly sizing up the mountainous monster.

"Is this the Sixth Rank Demon Beast? "It's too powerful, even corpses would tremble at the sight of it!"

"That's right. If I meet him, I'm afraid I won't be able to move at all!"

"Tianwu Marquis is simply like a god that descended to the mortal world. He can even kill such a tyrannical monster!" The soldiers in the field were all discussing this.

Although some of them had personally witnessed the battle between Ye Yang and the Giant Centipede from afar, it was still tens of kilometers away. At this time, only after seeing the Giant Centipede for so long did they realize just how terrifying it was, and their reverence for Ye Yang grew even deeper.

Ye Yang told Wang Ce to collect all the crystal nucleus s of the three beasts and clean up all the corpses of the beasts, especially the Sixth Rank beasts.

Wang Ce got someone to remove the meat from the head and split the body into different parts. He cleaned the meat and then packed them all into separate parts.

This was the corpse of a Sixth Rank Beast, Ye Yang had entered the silver perfection stage of the Dragon-elephant Dark Golden Body, and that was all he could count on.

After some tossing and turning, the Giant Centipede's meat was packed into over a hundred big barrels, and was kept by Ye Yang.

Ye Yang even left a few barrels behind, he took a look at the meat inside, and sure enough, it was white, tender, and smooth like a prawn, exactly like what was written on the books.

Everyone propped up the grills and placed all the Demon Beast Meat on the grills. In the meantime, Ye Yang asked everyone about today's harvests.

Wang Ce was immediately excited when he mentioned the harvest. Today, he had collected a total of fifty thousand beast skins, eighty percent of which were from Third Rank and the other thirty percent of which were from Fourth Rank.

There were 45,000 crystal nucleus and an uncountable number of different materials. This was because many organs of various beasts were also very precious.

Wang Ce calculated that if all of these were sold, each soldier would get at least 5000 gold coins.

5000 gold coins was an astronomical amount for these poor soldiers. It was enough for their entire family to live on for a lifetime.

Ye Yang asked about the distribution mechanism and some related matters again to confirm that there were no malpractices for personal gains, and only after seeing that the situation was one of greed and acceptance did he feel at ease.

He reminded Wang Ce to arrange the families of the sacrificed warriors well, and not to let the sacrificed soldiers be unable to rest in peace.

After settling everything down, the food on the grill was ready as well. A few of the leaders gathered together, enjoying today's unparalleled battle.

Since they could not drink anymore, the soldiers immediately used tea in place of wine to toast to Ye Yang, Ye Yuhan, Luo Xuefeng, Ye Qingxuan, Meng Fei, Meng Fei.

Today's performance made everyone admire him. Today was the day where Meng Fei was the most proud of himself.

There weren't many who toasted to Ye Yang, because in their hearts, Ye Yang was already a god-like existence. Giving him a cup of tea felt like a kind of blasphemy.

Ye Yang was also overjoyed. He picked up a piece of centipede meat and put it in his mouth, quietly tasting it, with a smile hanging on his lips.
