Undying Life

Chapter 137: Chapter 137: The Death of Lei Ting

Zhong Shan held the foot-long God-Restraining Bone-Piercing Nail in his left hand, as if General Lei Ting before him were a huge prey.

"Red Wolf, I don't know your name yet, but you are at the eighth level of the Golden Core stage, and the person before you has only half his life left. So, you're not facing certain death and can escape at any time. Fulfill the Wolf Clan's promise with all your might," Zhong Shan said solemnly to the giant wolf beneath him.

"Howl~~~" The giant wolf howled, clearly preparing for an all-out fight as Zhong Shan had said. Its eyes gradually turned blood-red, staring coldly at General Lei Ting.

At this moment, for some unknown reason, General Lei Ting's eyes also began to turn slightly red, and his breathing became rapid.

"Now!" Zhong Shan shouted.

"Boom~~~" Another fireball spewed from the giant wolf's mouth, heading straight for General Lei Ting in mid-air. Simultaneously, the giant wolf also leaped up, its huge body pouncing towards General Lei Ting.

Suddenly, General Lei Ting felt a wave of dizziness. What was happening? Why was he thinking about women at a time like this?

Shaking his head, he realized something was wrong. He was under some kind of hallucinogenic spell. As he tried to focus on himself, a huge fireball came crashing towards him.

"Boom~~~" General Lei Ting widened his eyes and punched, scattering the massive fireball with a burst of lightning. But in his eyes, he still saw some beautiful women flitting about.

He broke the fireball, but he still needed to take a good look.

Here they came, the beauties. As General Lei Ting blinked, the former peerless beauties suddenly turned into a giant wolf claw.

Following the fireball was the massive Red Wolf.

The Red Wolf, with a fierce expression, knocked General Lei Ting to the ground. Its sharp claws fiercely swiped at General Lei Ting's body.

General Lei Ting knew things were bad. He put up his shield, blocking the sharp claws, but his head still felt like it was about to burst.

"Boom~~~" General Lei Ting was knocked into the magma. The Fire Wolf, seemingly fire-elemental by nature, was not afraid of the slightly cooled magma. It pinned General Lei Ting down, furiously clawing at him and spitting fireballs, seemingly trying to kill him in one go.

However, General Lei Ting's vitality was incredibly tenacious. Despite the weakened shield, it didn't collapse. He could barely fight back.

At this time, Zhong Shan had already put away his large knife. He leapt, holding the God-Restraining Bone-Piercing Nail covered in Red Luan Mist, as he had seen it directly penetrate shields in the battle between Miaoxian and Mr. Corpse.

Sure enough, without any obstruction, the Red Luan Mist carried the God-Restraining Bone-Piercing Nail, directly piercing General Lei Ting's shield.

The Red Wolf pinned General Lei Ting down, and with all his might, Zhong Shan drove the God-Restraining Bone-Piercing Nail through General Lei Ting's left wrist.

"Ah~~~" General Lei Ting roared in pain. His right hand flailed, but once the God-Restraining Bone-Piercing Nail had pierced his left wrist and pinned it to the ground, he couldn't move it anymore.

The tides had turned; the more heavily General Lei Ting was injured, the easier it became for the Red Wolf.

"Shhhh—" Yet another God-Restraining Bone-Piercing Nail pierced through General Lei Ting's right wrist, pinning it to the ground.

"Roar—" General Lei Ting howled in fury, but once pinned, he was rendered completely immobile.

The Red Wolf, understanding Zhong Shan's intent, immediately pressed its paws down on General Lei Ting's legs.

"Shhhh—shhhh—" Zhong Shan, with a ruthless expression, finally pinned down General Lei Ting's four limbs using four God-Restraining Bone-Piercing Nails, leaving him entirely incapacitated.

At the same time, Zhong Shan drew out his large knife and made a diagonal slash above General Lei Ting.

"Boom—" A huge trench suddenly appeared, diverting the lava flowing down from above away from General Lei Ting.

Having achieved the second level of the Celestial Demon Body Refinement Technique, Zhong Shan could now form an energy shield outside his body, allowing him to stand safely amidst the chaotic surroundings. General Lei Ting, however, with his energy shield completely shattered, was like a mortal warrior whose vital meridian points had been struck, unable to utilize his internal energy.

Only the years of cultivation had toughened General Lei Ting's skin enough to withstand being burned alive.

In the sky, Qing Yun watched with eyes full of shock. Zhong Shan was only at the eighth level of the Innate Stage? Just the eighth level? How was he able to manifest an energy shield outside his body? And how had he managed to pierce General Lei Ting's shield with the God-Restraining Bone-Piercing Nails?

It didn't make sense. Qing Yun's eyes were filled with intense confusion. Beside Zhong Shan, the giant wolf's eyes flashed with satisfaction. A Nascent Soul stage being? And he had helped a human bring down a Nascent Soul stage being?

From a distance, countless soldiers watched the scene atop the volcano. Their emperor, their emperor was too strong. That was an immortal, an immortal pinned to the mountain by their emperor.

In that instant, Zhong Shan's formidable presence was indelibly etched into everyone's minds. Even the fire spewed by the giant wolf didn't seem as miraculous anymore.

An immortal? The emperor had pinned an immortal to the mountain in an instant, and the emperor even had an immortal subordinate, the green-clad demon who had ascended into the sky.

At that moment, everyone was filled with intense excitement. No matter what, they had witnessed a scene that others might never see in their lifetimes. In the future, this scene of the emperor pinning an immortal to the mountain would become the most powerful tale they could boast about.

Three days later, the volcano ceased its eruption.

The great Red Wolf stepped back into the Wolf Domain.

At the foot of the mountain, the army was stationed, while Zhong Shan, along with Qing Yun, Yinglan, Lin Xiao, Wei Taizhong, and Zhong Zheng, observed the pinned General Lei Ting from above.

The God-Restraining Bone-Piercing Nails immobilized his divine consciousness and sealed his true energy, rendering General Lei Ting a helpless lamb awaiting slaughter.

This sight filled everyone with shock.

A Nascent Soul stage being, a presence previously unimaginable, now lay at their feet, ready to be slaughtered.

Qing Yun also swallowed hard. Although he still looked down on Nascent Soul stage beings, as in his eyes they were like mere cats or dogs, compared to Zhong Shan at the Innate Stage, this Nascent Soul stage Lei Ting was a colossal entity.

Zhong Shan had truly done it. An Innate stage, trapping a Nascent Soul stage?

Taking a deep breath, Qing Yun's view of Zhong Shan, despite his low cultivation level, transformed. In his eyes, Zhong Shan's figure became grand. This man was extraordinary, no, he was very capable.

"Sir, is he the one who hurt Sister Ling'er?" Yinglan asked immediately.

Zhongshan furrowed his brows slightly. "Call me Grandmother in the future."

"Oh," Yinglan stuck out her tongue.

"Hahaha, kid, pest, I truly hate you. I hate that I didn't kill you with one palm strike back then," Thunder General roared madly lying on the ground.

"Kill me? Hmph, originally, I didn't plan to come find you. At least not in the short term. But you kept trying to kill me one after another. You even nearly killed my wife half a year ago. That day, I swore I'd find you as soon as possible and make you suffer. Make you wish for death," Zhongshan said coldly.

"Hahaha, come on, kill me. The Yin Yue Empire will make sure you don't die easily," Thunder General shouted.

"Kill you? Do you think it'll be easy? The Yin Yue Empire? I'll go there eventually. Not only do I want you dead, I want to wipe out your entire clan. Wait for your death underground. As for your method of death, hmph, too loyal," Zhongshan said icily.

"Here," Wei Taizhong immediately called out.

"Bring the ant nest from the Great Ha Desert. I want to feed him to the ants. You stay here and guard. Wait until the carnivorous ants completely digest him, then come back to me," Zhongshan ordered coldly.

"Yes," Wei Taizhong responded immediately.

Hearing Zhongshan's words, Iron-blooded Thunder General couldn't help but shiver. Feed him to ants? And Qingyun beside him also felt a chill run down his spine. Suddenly feeling like he had been too kind before.

"Lin Xiao, leave behind five hundred wolf cavalry and fifty thousand heavy armor troops to guard this mountain. Wait until Thunder is completely consumed by the ants, then come back with Taizhong to see me," Zhongshan ordered again.

"Yes," Lin Xiao responded immediately.

Then, Zhongshan adjusted his clothes and led everyone down the mountain.

Although Zhongshan returned to Xuanjing, the deeds of the massacre of immortals spread throughout the army.

The Emperor's strength was remembered by everyone for the first time. A celestial, a flying celestial, was nailed to the volcano north of Hongyun Town by His Majesty's own strength. That mountain was henceforth named 'Celestial Slaughter Mountain.'

Under the protection of Heaven and Earth, even the Wolf Immortal bowed to His Majesty.

Thus, the Wolf Clan became the national beast of the Great Ju Dynasty, and the Wolf Cavalry was no longer the highest secret. As long as you were loyal to the Great Ju Dynasty, you could become the next Wolf Cavalry. From then on, riding wolves into battle was invincible. Even the impassable mountains and rivers were no longer so dangerous.

Mysterious, with the emergence of the Wolf Cavalry, the Great Ju Dynasty became more and more mysterious. The surrounding three countries were now in a state of panic and didn't know what to do.

Inside the Longevity Hall, Zhongshan once again presided over the court, ruling over the Great Ju Dynasty, while his true self once again headed towards the Kaiyang Sect, where Thunder General died, subjected to cruel punishment.

Ling'er's revenge was achieved, but Ling'er's whereabouts became elusive. Phoenix Palace? What place was that? And Nie Qingqing's family still didn't know what had happened. He had to go back and ask his master to clarify.

This time, Zhongshan learned from his previous lesson. Even though he could fly, most of the time it was better to walk back to the Kaiyang Sect. Being too conspicuous in the sky was not wise unless his cultivation reached a level where he could defend himself.
