The Blood King - Chapter 75 The Bigger Picture

after ordering his soldiers to recover the bodies of the dead, and after recovering the angry general’s body himself, they went back to the cliff, and found that the laid back general, along with the silent general were already there. ” after looking around for a while, i couldn’t find either of the remaining two, so i searched for the spear user. i found him after a while, but he just said some nonsense before turning to a beam of light.” the laid back general said. ” hmm, so you couldn’t find the archer? well, that’s to be expected. “….i see. sigh.” after seeing the cold general, and having what happened explained, the laid back general sighed. he knew that although they argued a lot, those two were good friends for years. ” sigh, it seems us old guys were completely defeated by those kids…..well, i say us old guys, but i’m only 29! hahaha!” the laid back general laughed loudly.

after a few minutes of resting, they decided to go back to the imperial city. since the 4 Divine Dragon continent princes had left, they had no reason to stay here. leading out of a forest, was a trail of dead bodies, severed in half. a lone person stood before these bodies in contemplation. Levi had separated from the angry generals army silently when everyone was busy, he left to go find some fresh blood. but what he didn’t expect was to find the corpses of the second prince’s men, along with multiple puddles of blood with no corpses to be seen. ” no one is here, so i should be fine even if i go berserk after absorbing all of this blood….” he looked at all the corpses and the blood flowing on the ground, and could not help but get excited. sou! puchi! ” ack!” an arrow suddenly pierced through Levi’s right shoulder, causing him no little amount of pain. ” who are you?! come out!” his eyes began to turn red, but he forcefully suppressed suppressed it. sou! ” agh!” thump! a arrow shot though his leg, causing him to drop to his knees. sou! ” enough!” rumble! a thick blood mist exploded from Levi’s body, as his eyes once again became red. ” destroy!” the blood mist shot outward from his body, destroying stones and trees alike with sheer force, but surprisingly, the bodies and blood were still intact.

a flash of golden light caught Levi’s eye, as he ripped the arrow from his shoulder and coated it with blood energy, before throwing it towards the golden light. he kept rampaging for a few minutes before getting himself under control again. ” dammit! who was that! huff! i should hurry and absorb this blood and then get back to that angry general’s army.” without wasting anymore time, he began absorbing the blood of 6-7 thousand dead soldiers, along with the puddles of blood. “…” veins bulged on his body as he forcefully kept himself in control. boom! multiple explosions of blood energy eminated from Levi’s body, each bigger than the last. ” ahhh!” just as he was about to loose himself to his desire to kill again, he slashed out with his sabre, as a large sword light of blood energy destroyed evergthing in it’s path, leaving a large channel in the ground. ” huff! huff! so if i release the excess energy while still in control, i won’t enter that crazed state..huff! but, hahaha, my blood energy stage went from 4 to 6 to 16 in just a few days…” Levi laughed happily to himself, as he sat on the ground.

“…oh yeah, didn’t avesta say something about me getting some kind of reward or something, with every 5 or 10 blood stages i pass?…..well, i guess that is no longer possible, not with the tatoo being in this state, sigh, whatever…” he mumbled to himself, as he caught his breath and healed his wounds. rumble! blood energy rose from his body, as an ancient gate formed behind him. ” what is the use of this then? hmm…i will have to become more creative when using blood energy then.” Levi mumbled, as he got up. ” i want to find out more about my primordial meridians too , but let us go back to the imperial city first.” He mumbled as he dusted himself off.

…

imperial city.

” agh!” help! save me!” honey, help me….” multiple cries for help rang out. a woman with a large sword wound across her back lay on the street holding onto the leg of a man. ” fuck! let me go! those soldiers will come back soon, why don’t you die alone?! your feet are already in the grave, so even if i save you, what would be the point?! let go!” the man said as he stomped on the woman’s face until she released his leg. by the time she released him, her face had become mangled and bloody. rumble! rumble! ” ah?! what do we have here?!” a few soldiers in green armor resembling the scales of a dragon rode onto the street. ” looks like a rat is still alive!” one of them shouted. ” hii! le-leave me alone! somebody save me!!” the man turned around, shouting the same words the woman he stomped had on said. ” what are you guys doing? we are leaving before it gets troublesome!” a shout caused the few soldiers to turn around. ” yes, general!” they shouted as they turned around and began riding towards their general. this general also wore the same green armor. he had small eyes, a pointed nose and slim lips, looking fairly sinister. ” and where do you think you are going, after doing as you pleased?” an old voice rang out.

” tch, see what i mean?” The general sucked his teeth. looking up in the air, an old man with short white hair, wearing a white and gold embroidered robe floated. ” huh? this old man is floating and yet i don’t feel any qi from his body?” the general mumbled. ” dammit, what were those brats thinking?! when they get back here, i will give them an earfull!” the old man shouted. ” oh? you mean your four generals? hurry and leave, i will distract him for a little while…” the general whispered. ‘ these soldiers are a mix of the armies from the four kingdom’s in the divine dragon continent. if all of them were to be killed while i was in charge, things could get bad for me.’ the general thought. ” generals?! can they even be called generals after falling for this kind of trick?!” The old man shouted, as the Divine Dragon continent’s soldiers silently eased away. ” i can bet that one of those fools fell for some taunt, left to search for the people taunting them angrily after finding out it was just a taunt and almost got themselves and their soldiers killed! as we thought, they still need more training! because they gathered in one place, the south, east and west gates were also attacked, just like here!” The old man rambled on. ” oh? is that so. but what can you do, right? except train them up all over again.” The general said, with a look of understanding on his face.

” Yh Yh, also….where do they think they are going?” The goofy look dissapeared from the old man’s face, as he looked at the soldiers who were quickly leaving though the gate. ” oh them? they are retreating.” The general said with a smile, as if everything was normal. ” oh, oh, i see! but who said that they could retreat?” the old man said, as his voice became cold. whoosh! flap flap! the old man’s robe blew madly in the wind, as the sky above the north gate began changing, with slim tornados extending down. ‘ what?! controlling the weather?! this old guy has got to be at the universal harmony stage! oh shit, forget the soldiers, i better get away from here myself!’ the general began to feel uneasy. ” aggh! ahh!” screams echoed from outside the gate, as multiple soldiers and their horses were either minced by the tornados, or flung through the air, breaking limbs.

rumble! rumble!

” huh? what is happening by the gate?” The cold general squinted his eyes as he looked toward the gate. ” Are those soldiers? that can’t be the case…” the cold general’s eyes widened as he mumbled. ” we are speeding up!” the cold general shouted. ” but what about the second prince? we can’t jerk him about when he is in this state!” the two soldiers beside the second prince said. the streacher he was on was tied to the backs of two horses, with him in the middle, so if they didn’t ride slowly, he would be thrown around. ” you can ride back slowly, but the rest of us are going!” the cold general said. ” but-” without waiting anymore, the cold general brought his soldiers and rode toward the gate. ” haha, that guy needs to loosen up!” the laid back general said with a smile. ‘ aren’t you too loose?!’ the soldiers thought. ‘ but, who is going to protect the second prince if you leave?’ the two soldiers who were taking care of the second prince thought. although the remainder of the second prince’s soldiers were mixed into the rest of the soldiers, they were all injured, so forget protecting the second prince, they wouldn’t even be able to protect themselves! and looking at the laid back general, they definately couldn’t count on him.

” hmm? tornados…does that mean!” the cold general looked around. boom! ” damn it! this old man is troublesome…” the Divine Dragon Continent general mumbled, as he looked up at the old man. he held his sword in from of him, as blood flowed down the side of his face. he was hit by a powerful wind attack that sent him crashing into a building. ” hmm, if i keep fighting here, i might just destroy this part of the city even more.” the old man said, as he reached out. Air spiraled as it formed a giant hammer. ” he can’t be..” the general’s complexion darkened. ” oh yes he can..” the old man smiled, showing all of his teeth, but in the eyes of the Divine Dragon continent general, this was the smile of a devil. “wai-” booom! ” kek!!” the wind was knocked out of the divine dragon continent general as he was sent soaring. the residual air destroyed multiple buildings.” oops, guess i will just blame it on this guy.” the old man thought for a bit before mumbling. ” general?! help us! these tornados are blocking our path to retreat!” the divine dragon continent general landed with some difficulty, as he clutched his left arm which was mangled by the attack. ‘ help you? fuck, why don’t you help ME! i’m here risking my life by stalling this old monster, and you can’t get away from some tornados?! don’t you see my legs shaking? that last attack nearly knocked the life out of me, are you sure you are the ones who need help right now?!?’ the general thought as he glared at the soldiers. ” huh? are those the soldiers of the cloud continent? dammit, those royal brats screwed up, didn’t they?!” the general gritted his teeth as he looked into the distance.

” how noisy!” the old man shouted, as a giant tornado descended from the sky. ” ahh! general! save us!” Some of them shouted, as they saw the tornado descending. boom! all 20,000 soldiers were squashed and minced by the giant tornado. “…” the general stood with his mouth opened wide. ” now, it’s your turn!” the old man turned to look at the general. ‘ even with my heaven and earth stage cultivation, fighting someone at the universal harmony stage is not possible! time to go!’ the general thought as he hurriedly reached into his robe, pulling out a wooden token. ” hmm?” crack! the token was shatterd, as the genral turned into a beam of light. ” teleportation? well, let me help you with that! teleport straight to hell!” multiple small tornados chased the beam of light, bombarding it.

” Elder?” the cold general’s voice rang out. ” hmm? you still have the face to call me Elder?! and where is that lazy brat, isaac?! i know you are around here somewhere boy, come out!” the old man’s voice boomed. ” hmm? that couldn’t be, right?…..right?!” the laid back general squinted his eyes as he looked into the distance, only to see a tiny figure floating in the sky. ” hmm? what’s wrong, general?” a soldier asked curiously. ” aww shit!” the laid back general suddenly urged his horse, as he sped towards the imperial city. ” master, disciple has arrived!” in just a few seconds, he had already appeared before the old man. ” master? who’s disciple are you?! you can’t be my disciple, not with that low IQ!” the old man shouted. ” master…” the laid back general began sweating. ” master my foot! pitue! hearing that word from your mouth makes me sick! where are the other two brats?! making me wait? you 4 sure grew some guts in these few years, huh?!” the old man continued. “…eli…is dead….” the cold general said. “!!” the old man’s eyes widened.
