Super Soldier

After Monitor calmed down, many thoughts flashed through his mind. The new generation were replacing the old. The young man was already stronger than him, and there were only a few people in the world who could hold up to this young man, as long as he was not headstrong. The man with God’s blood was important, but it would be fine even if he could not bring him back. With Xiao Bing’s strength, those people would not be able to stop him, if they worked alone.

Monitor calmed down, looked at the young man, and said, “Go monitor the area thoroughly. I want to be informed of any changes.”

When the young man went out, Monitor exhaled and muttered to himself, “Boy, I hope you can come back safely. I did not think it would be turn out to be such a big problem now, the man with God’s blood…”

Monitor’s eyes glinted with a fanatical light.

Iza Kawatani disembarked with nearly a hundred masters. They were all elites. The weakest was at the Concealing Strength Stage. The Second and Third Patriarch of the elder group came too. The skinny one was the Second Patriarch, Matsumoto Daizou, who was at the Completion of the Vigorous-strength Stage, only one step away from the Breaking The Void; and the chubby one was the Third Presbyter, who was at the peak of the Vigorous-strength Stage, a little weaker than Matsumoto Daizou. All the best masters of the elder group came for the God’s blood, plus the remaining royal and national elites. Almost half of the official experts of Country R had been sent out. Both the whole country’s royal family and officials were badly shaken.

When Iza Kawatani saw the two boats on the shore, he became excited, but said calmly, “Search. Find them, leave no stone unturned.”

Second Patriarch said wryly, “If we have to fight Feng XIII, what should we do?”

Iza Kawatani answered calmly, “If you can, don’t kill him and let me deal with him; if you can’t, kill him… but he is very strong now, you’d better not take any action without me. Stay in touch and I will do it myself.”

This time, Iza Kawatani was furious. He was the best master of Country R, but his apprentice played him for a fool. How could he not be angry?

He was not only angry, but also heartbroken. Feng XIII was a rare talent to cultivate, and he had been carefully selected and taught, but now he turned out to be a traitor. Even though he was his disciple, he could not be forgiven. Iza Kawatani was authoritative, but that was the very reason that he could not give unprincipled protection to Feng XIII. It would create talk among people.

Iza Kawatani led his people directly into the woods, and they dispersed, doing a carpet search. After walking into the forest and looking at the harsh environment, he said in a deep voice, after he glanced at a warrior beside him, “Remind them it is dangerous here. Make sure that you move in groups of threes, and keep a look out for the poisonous matters in the surroundings.”

Even as he spoke, a snake slid down from a tree, flying toward the warrior’s neck, with its mouth wide open. Iza Kawatani stretched out and seized its neck. It struggled, but was unable to move after a little while. The warrior was covered in cold sweat.

“Be careful,” Iza Kawatani said.

Iza Kawatani started searching the mountain with a large number of people. Xiao Bing had familiarised himself with the terrain nearby, in the afternoon. There were so many people looking for him, but they did not see any trace of him in Red Rose’s residence. So they started a meticulous search for him . Xiao Bing knew that some powerful elders and Feng XIII were now focused on the next ceremony, so no one would have time to deal with him. They could not do anything about it. Xiao Bing easily avoided their search. At night, Xiao Bing found the family whose children he played with, during the day.

Xiao Bing knocked and the man opened the door. When the man saw Xiao Bing, he was about to shout immediately, but Xiao Bing covered his mouth and pushed him in. Then he went in and closed the door.

The man stepped back a few meters, as his wife came out of the room, muttering, “The kids are asleep. What are you doing?” When she saw Xiao Bing in the house, she was scared.

The man stared at Xiao Bing intently, like a poisonous snake. It was as if he was going to bite as soon as he found any flaw.

Xiao Bing sighed secretly. In this area, everyone had such a strong sense of defense and attack. It seemed to be the nature of their serpent clan. The outsiders could not match them. Furthermore, all the people here were very strong. According to Red Rose, even if they did not practice martial arts, they would reach the Clear-strength Stage as time went by, like the couple in front of him. The woman was at least at the Forging Bone Stage, while the man should have reached the Concealing Strength Stage. Although the Forging Bone Stage was just the first level of martial arts, she was only a housewife, after all.

If the 500 martial arts practitioners went to the human world with a purpose, there would be an unprecedented disaster.

The man stared at Xiao Bing, looking for Xiao Bing’s flaws, and said, “The entire clan is looking for you. You have no way to escape.”

Xiao Bing smiled bitterly, “Why should I leave? You are the ones who should run.”

The man’s eyes became more gloomy.

Xiao Bing sat down on the chair in a casual manner, pointed to the opposite side, and said, “Sit down and stay calm. Don’t wake your children up.”

The couple hesitated for a moment. Their children were sleeping inside the room and this outsider was unpredictable. They really did not dare to do anything. Not only because they were not confident, but also because they had to protect their kids. Although their clan was aloof, they loved their children, and snakes were no exception.

The couple looked at each other, standing side by side, but they did not sit down.

Xiao Bing laughed and said, “Do you need to watch me with such vigilance? To be honest, with my strength, if I wanted to kill you, you will be dead by now.”

“What do you want?” the man asked.

Xiao Bing said, “I just want to tell you something, and then I want you to tell the others. It is about the fate of your clan.”

Xiao Bing told the couple what he overheard. When they heard that their leaders would be sacrificing 64 of them, the woman was horrified, and the man was dumbstricken. He shook his head and said, “No way. Don’t incite our relationship.”

Xiao Bing added, “It’s not me who is going to be sacrificed anyway. It’s your people and it has nothing to do with me. If you don’t believe me, forget about it… But what I said is true. In order to resurrect your so-called God, they are going to sacrifice you. Do you think it is still worthwhile to keep your faith in your King Mamba? Think about it yourself.”

After Xiao Bing finished speaking, he turned around and was about to open the door when the man shouted loudly, “Listen, outsider, for my kids and my family, if they can resurrect our God, and go out to dominate the world with my family, I will be willing to be sacrificed!”

Xiao Bing felt angry and said coldly, “Think harder.”

Xiao Bing left, but his mood became pensive. He did not expect that these people had been brainwashed to such an extent. As long as they were able to resurrect Orochi, they were willing to die.

Xiao Bing hoped that not all the people here had the same idea as this man, so he visited several families in succession, telling them the same message, and trying to persuade them. He failed, because most of the people did not believe him, but fortunately, a few people vacillated. Xiao Bing decided to stop as he believed that his message would naturally be spread throughout the area tomorrow. He wanted to see if he had been able to get through to the few. How could those leaders lie to the villagers?.

Xiao Bing also seized a characteristic of human nature. Even if they were loyal to Orochi, it was just their legendary god. It was too far away from them, and it was difficult for anyone not to be shaken, when facing death.

After Xiao Bing left the first house, the man was going to tell the elders that Xiao Bing had been to their house, but he was stopped by his wife.

His wife asked him to sit down, but he looked at her with a doubtful look, and asked, “Why are you stopping me?”

The woman shook her head and said, “What if he was telling the truth?”

The man hesitated for a moment, and then said categorically, “Our clan has been living for the mission of resurrecting the God.”

“No,” said the woman. “Why do we have to be sacrificed in order to resurrect the Great God?”

“Shut up.” The man fixed his eyes on his woman, and said viciously, “This is our destiny. The Great God cannot be blasphemed. Well, do not tell this to our kids, tomorrow I will inform the elders.”

The woman hesitated, sighed, and finally stopped speaking. Everyone had the right to survive, but Orochi was too sacred in their minds. They had been educated since their childhood that their lives belonged to the Great God. Even if one day they had to give up their lives for the Great God, they had to accept it unquestionably.

When a person’s desire for survival and belief were constantly struggling in his mind, some people’s beliefs overcame the desire for survival, while others’ desire for survival defeated their beliefs. Her man was the former.

Xiao Bing ran around for a night without much gain. He returned to the room, where Red Rose was imprisoned. She was still in a coma at this time. She should have woken up, but she was drugged in order to prevent her from waking up. Xiao Bing slept beside her because the most dangerous place was the safest place.
