Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

Because Chernas intervened, the remaining members of the squad, who hadn't been completely wiped out, roared with delight, "It's the general! The general has made a move! Attack together! Don't be afraid, kill this bastard, and your chance to get promoted and make a fortune is right in front of you!"

"kill!"

"..."

Ying Zheng looked at the soldiers gathering around him, a bloodthirsty killing intent flashing in his eyes.

It seems that Chernas has a high reputation among them; as soon as he made a move, he stabilized the morale of the rout army.

However, this suited him perfectly. Holding the Vajra-Breaking Spear, Ying Zheng, brimming with fighting spirit, charged into the gathering crowd like a war god descending from heaven: "Since you want to die, then come on!"

At this moment, Ying Zheng's speed became even more astonishing. Wherever his spear went, its shadow swept across, and dozens of soldiers fell to the ground, their fates unknown.

However, standing on the high ground, Chernas, holding the bronze Moonbow, watched as Ying Zheng's movements became unpredictable and extremely fast, making it impossible for him to anticipate Ying Zheng's next move.

Therefore, he was unable to block Ying Zheng's retreat with arrows, and his archery skills were rendered useless, which infuriated Chernas.

Then, he drew the Purple Moon Sword from his waist, leaped down from the treetop, and rushed towards Ying Zheng.

After all, if he didn't take action soon, his elite troops would likely be wiped out by Ying Zheng.

It's worth noting that in the brief moment Chernas remained silent, Ying Zheng had slaughtered over a hundred more people. Now, corpses lay strewn about, and blood had almost stained the land red.

The pungent smell of blood assaulted the senses. Ying Zheng, like a demon god, reaped lives, his body stained crimson with blood, yet he fought with ever-growing ferocity, his eyes bloodshot with rage.

At this moment, the morale of the soldiers gathered here began to waver. They couldn't help but ask themselves, "Is this really an enemy they can defeat?"

Just then, Chernas, wielding the Purple Moon Sword, seized the opportunity when Ying Zheng swung his spear and stabbed at Ying Zheng's heart with extreme cunning.

"Qiang!"

However, Ying Zheng turned around and blocked with his Vajra Breaking Formation Spear. With a clang, a disdainful look appeared on Ying Zheng's lips: "What, is all you can do is sneak attacks?"

Faced with Ying Zheng's mockery, Chernas felt a surge of anger. As one of the four generals of the Emerald Universe Civilization, he held a high position and wielded great power; for many years, no one had dared to speak to him like that.

But Chernas, with his calm demeanor, didn't reveal his true feelings: "So what if we launch a sneak attack on a piece of trash like you? Everyone attack together! He's only one person! If we successfully strangle him, everyone will be promoted one rank! Those who make outstanding contributions will be promoted three ranks! Whoever takes his life will be promoted five ranks!"

As Chernas finished speaking, the remaining few hundred people were immediately filled with greed.

It's important to understand that even a single promotion is incredibly tempting for them. The Jade Universe Civilization is ruled by the Jadeless Imperial Court, which has established a nine-tiered system of official positions for management.

The benefits and resources enjoyed by each rank are extremely generous. If they could truly be promoted in this way, it would be like a path to heaven for them.

At this moment, everyone was blinded by greed, and they mustered all their strength to besiege Ying Zheng.

Watching them charge forward with such reckless abandon, Ying Zheng sighed helplessly, "Indeed, money can corrupt people's hearts!"

This guy is no simpleton; he rallied the morale of his routy troops with just a few words. But so what? "I'm right here. Want my head? Then come and get it!"

His bold and inspiring words resounded through the heavens as Ying Zheng brandished his Vajra Formation-Breaking Spear, sweeping it across his surroundings. Each time the spear swept across, dozens of figures were sent flying, disrupting their encirclement and attack formation.

"Shadow Ambush!"

The next moment, Ying Zheng's figure seemed to blend into the shadows, and he directly activated the only skill of Shadow Blade.

Having lost his target, Chernas looked at the dozens of people standing around him and felt a pang of anxiety. Had this guy just logged off like that?

If that's the case, then wouldn't the hundreds of elite troops he lost have been sacrificed in vain?
Just as Chernas was enraged, he suddenly sensed danger approaching. But before his eyes, a flash of light was already aimed at his heart.

Ying Zheng, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, launched a fatal attack. Chernas didn't even have time to react, and could only watch helplessly as the shadow blade pierced his heart. The crimson patterns etched on the blade frantically drained his blood.

In no time, Chernas looked like a dried-up corpse, drained of all his blood.

Now, the few dozen men remaining on the battlefield stared in disbelief at the mummified corpse and Ying Zheng before them: "General Chernas... is dead!"

Terrified, they dared not continue fighting and quickly withdrew from the Canglan Illusionary Realm.

Watching them disappear into the distance, Ying Zheng began to clean up the battlefield.

After all, the equipment left behind by these dead is undoubtedly a huge asset for him, who is currently extremely short of Canglan Points, and he cannot easily give it up.

Having reaped a great harvest, Ying Zheng was in a good mood at this moment.

The artifacts, standard armor, and weapons left behind by these nearly a thousand people could fetch three to four hundred thousand Canglan Points if sold.

This was undoubtedly a lifesaver for Ying Zheng at the moment.

After all, he still owed Gu Yi 200,000 Canglan Points, and the rest was barely enough to get by.

The current Hongmeng Universe has only undergone its first transformation and is not even ranked in the Canglan Universe Circle.

For Ying Zheng, it was of almost no help, and even for powerful beings at the fourth level of the universe, such as the Great Power Saint Venerable, it was difficult to provide effective assistance.

Because the universe level is too low, it is extremely difficult to improve one's cultivation level in the Hongmeng Universe.

Furthermore, since they are currently unable to enter the Canglan Illusionary Realm on a large scale, Ying Zheng's primary task at present is to upgrade the level of the Hongmeng Universe.

However, waiting for the universe to undergo its own transformation takes far too long, which requires him to spend a large amount of Canglan Points to purchase treasures that can help the universe transform.

This is also why Ying Zheng is so "money-grubbing" now.

After looting the place, Ying Zheng looked at the corpses scattered on the ground and headed straight east.

To the east lies the location of Emerald City, which can be reached simply by crossing the Donglai Mountains.

However, the Donglai Mountains are teeming with wild beasts of extremely high rank.

Its danger level far exceeds that of the Changlang River, at least at the third level of the cosmic level, and some people have even encountered beings at the seventh level of the cosmic level in it.

Of course, for skilled players, this is an excellent place to level up, which is why Emerald City was able to develop so rapidly.

Now, Ying Zheng is heading to the Donglai Mountains to hunt down all the powerful individuals from Emerald City who have come here for training.

"Your Majesty the Divine Emperor, your loyal servant Yuan Chu has important news to report!"

At this moment, Wu Yu, who was in seclusion at the Emerald Universe Civilization Dojo, heard the voice of his servant.

Wu Yu opened his eyes and fell into deep thought. He had instructed that he should not be disturbed unless it was something important. Could it be that Chernas had captured the high-level members of the Hongmeng Universe Civilization?
"come in!"

The servant Yuan Chu, who entered, was Wu Yu's personal attendant and possessed the strength of a sixth-level cosmic-level being. At this moment, he looked terrified. After all, he knew how much his master valued the Hongmeng Universe Civilization, and now that news of failure had arrived, he wondered how furious his master would be.

So, Yuan Chu said tremblingly, "Your Majesty the Divine Emperor, news has come from the front that General Chernas has been killed in battle. According to the returning soldiers, he was killed by Ying Zheng!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yu suddenly stood up, furious: "They're all a bunch of trash!" A terrifying pressure instantly filled the entire dojo, and the entire Emerald Universe trembled under Wu Yu's aura.

No one knew why His Majesty the God Emperor was angry, but this scene was clearly an expression of His Majesty the God Emperor's great rage.

The well-informed and powerful individuals within the Emerald Universe civilization have all learned of Chernas's death.

The other three powerful generals did not care too much about Chernas's death.

"That arrogant guy is finally dead. I knew Ying Zheng was not to be underestimated; he was so arrogant!"

"However, Chernas is dead, and we have failed to complete our mission. After all, His Majesty the God Emperor instructed us to cooperate fully. What should we do next?"

As they waited anxiously for Wuyu's decision, Wuyu calmed his anger.

He looked at the servant before him, his expression grim, and said, "Do not provoke him again until my injuries have healed. Once I emerge from seclusion, his death will be imminent!"

"Yes, Your Majesty's divine decree!" Yuan Chu quietly left the quiet room, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly went to convey Wu Yu's order.

The many powerful figures of Emerald City who received Wu Yu's order also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Ying Zheng was not someone to be trifled with. Although Chernas was arrogant, he was quite strong. Even he died at Ying Zheng's hands, which showed how powerful Ying Zheng was.

If they were to intervene, who knows how many dangers they would face.

Now all we need to do is wait for His Majesty the God Emperor to recover from his injuries and emerge from seclusion, so we can go together to capture him.

Upon arriving at the Donglai Mountains, Ying Zheng purchased an invisibility cloak from the Canglan Mall for 10 Canglan Points.

This artifact can conceal one's aura to the greatest extent, making it difficult even for a level 7 cosmic-level expert to detect. This allows him to travel safely through the Donglai Mountains, where wild beasts roam.

Upon arriving here, Ying Zheng felt right at home and began to relentlessly ambush and kill many powerful figures belonging to Emerald City.

In just half a month, thousands of people have gone missing in Emerald City, all of whom are at least at the third level of the cosmic realm.

This news quickly reached the high-level officials of the Emerald Universe Civilization.

These powerful figures were enraged: "The absence of a beast tide is most likely due to assassination, and the only one opposing our Emerald City now is Ying Zheng!"

"Damn it, they actually assassinated the core force of our Emerald City within the Donglai Mountains!"

"What should we do now? If we continue to allow Ying Zheng to assassinate us, our middle-level forces in Emerald City will be completely slaughtered!"

"His Majesty the God Emperor is currently in seclusion to heal his injuries. Our strength is no match for Ying Zheng. Issue an order to forbid sending anyone else to the Donglai Mountains!"

"That's all we can do now."

"..."

This news sparked heated discussions among the many powerful beings of the Emerald Universe Civilization.

"When did our Level 7 Emerald Universe Civilization ever fear a Level 2 Universe Civilization!"

"What do you know? Although it's only a Level 2 cosmic civilization, its leader possesses the strength of a Level 7 Great Saint. Even General Chernas died at his hands!"

"How can this be!"

"How could that be impossible? My master told me this himself!"

"..."

Ying Zheng, who had been wandering in the Donglai Mountains for three days without encountering a single powerful figure from Emerald City, knew that Emerald City was afraid and had therefore forbidden its powerful subordinates from coming.

After all, these people were only at the fourth, fifth, or sixth level of the cosmic realm, and encountering Ying Zheng would only mean certain death.

The higher-ups of the Jade Universe Civilization would naturally not sit idly by and watch their own forces be lost at the hands of Ying Zheng.

"If we continue to put pressure on the Emerald Universe Civilization, it will be quite troublesome!" Ying Zheng pondered in a low voice.

We can't just storm into their headquarters, can we? You have to understand, Emerald City is home to nearly a million universe-level powerhouses.

Even with Ying Zheng's current strength, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed if he rashly rushed in!

Ying Zheng stared at the dense canopy of trees before him, his gaze piercing through the branches and leaves, looking into the depths of the Donglai Mountains. A thought gradually took root in his mind: "Perhaps, we can use the creatures of the Donglai Mountains to create a beast tide and attack Emerald City!"

This is indeed a brilliant plan, but how to trigger a beast tide is a problem.

Moreover, small-scale beast tides pose little threat to Emerald City; only large-scale beast tides can.

According to the intelligence they gathered, the creatures of the Donglai Mountains would form a beast tide every month, attacking Emerald City.

Although this caused considerable trouble for Emerald City, its strength, coupled with the counterattack led by Wu Yu and the four legions, actually enhanced Emerald City's power.

However, now that Emerald City has lost its leader, Wuyu, and another great general, if an even more terrifying beast tide is triggered, it will surely cause heavy casualties to Emerald City.

With this in mind, Ying Zheng moved with lightning speed, darting through the shadows and heading deep into the Donglai Mountains.

This time, he needs to lure out those seventh-level cosmic beings deep in the mountains before he can pose a threat to Emerald City.

As Ying Zheng ventured deeper into the Donglai Mountains, a faint, alluring fragrance lingered around his nose. The scent was refreshing and possessed an indescribable allure.

Even with Ying Zheng's strong will, he couldn't resist the temptation and wanted to follow the scent.

Ying Zheng forced himself to stay alert, his gaze fixed on the source of the fragrance, his eyes flashing with deep wariness: "What exactly is this fragrance?"

At the same time, Ying Zheng noticed that as the fragrance of flowers spread, the creatures in this area seemed to go mad, rushing towards that direction.

This scene caught Ying Zheng's eye. He had been struggling with how to trigger a beast tide, and now the fragrance of flowers might just be the perfect opportunity.

With this in mind, Ying Zheng donned an invisibility cloak and silently made his way to the place filled with the fragrance of flowers.

After traveling for nearly tens of kilometers, the area was filled with the shadows of beasts, and countless creatures were rapidly converging on this place.

Ying Zheng noticed that the beings here were at least at the fifth level of the cosmic level, and there were even beings at the seventh level of the cosmic level.

It was a giant golden python, its body coiled with golden patterns, its golden pupils gleaming with spiritual light as it greedily stared at the valley.

Ying Zheng's gaze passed over the giant python and landed in the center of the valley. There, a flower bud, faintly blooming, stood proudly, with seven leaves growing below it.

Upon seeing this flower, Ying Zheng quickly searched for flower-related treasures in the Canglan Mall.

He quickly recognized it as the Seven-Leaf Spirit-Attracting Flower. After undergoing seven transformations, this flower would attract even beings at the seventh level of the cosmic realm, compelling them to irresistibly try to seize it. (End of Chapter)
