Astral Apostle

This was an important camp, guarded by a large number of troops. It was one of the outstanding areas of the soldiers’ line of defense. Not only did it have the duty to receive the enemy, but it also had the ability to deter the enemy’s flank. It also formed a vigilant layout with the surrounding passes, allowing each platoon to reinforce each area at any time.

The camp was located at a high place, and the surrounding trees had been cut down, giving them an advantage in vision. There were sentries everywhere nearby, patrolling in groups of three to five. They were on guard at all times to warn the thieves of the night attack. It could be said that the defense was tight, and there was no place to hide. There was definitely no force that could sneak within a few miles of the camp.

Somewhere in the northwest, a team of five sentries was keeping watch. No one was chatting.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance. He advanced towards the camp and jumped into the line of sight of the sentries.

However, the night was dark, so no one could see his exact appearance.

“There’s someone!”

The five sentries’ hearts skipped a beat. They rode their horses straight and quickly surrounded him from the left and right.

Soon, this team of sentries intercepted this suspicious person. The four of them surrounded him and circled him at close range. The only one left did not approach and was on guard from afar.

“Stop and surrender. Resist, and you will die!”

One of the sentries pressed his weapon and subconsciously shouted.

Because only one person appeared, these sentries originally thought that he was a villager who had entered by mistake or a lone bandit scout.

However, when they took a closer look, the sentries’ hearts trembled.

This uninvited guest had messy hair and was burly and majestic. His muscles seemed as though it could almost explode the leather armor on his body. There was a black iron spear hanging diagonally on his back. It was the stronghold leader, Dragon King Chen Feng, who had left a deep impression on the soldiers.

“Enemy attack! Report quickly!”

Without any hesitation, the sentries fled on their horses and shouted.

However, in the next moment, a strong wind blew, emitting a muffled sound.

Prak prak prak!

A rain of blood exploded in the air, and the upper bodies of the four sentries fell off their horses. They were all cut at the waist, dragging their intestines and spines as their steeds moved on.

The four mounts that had lost their masters fled in fear. The foot of each rider’s lower body was stuck in the stirrups and they were dragged along, leaving a trail of blood.

Zhou Jing picked up the iron spear again and watched as the last outpost rider who did not approach shot out arrows while urging his horse to escape to the camp.

“Let’s fight to our hearts’ content tonight.”

Zhou Jing’s eyes flickered with excitement from the bottom of his heart. He decided to go all out tonight.

He had a talent for combat intuition, and he liked to fight to the bone. It had long been revealed in the Mutant World.

The fourth apostle, Chen Feng, was extremely talented and had practiced the martial artist system for a few years. Although he could only practice the “Basic Tempering Technique” due to the restrictions of his main body being unable to obtain further knowledge in the academy, his attainments in this aspect had already reached a height that even the martial artists of the main world could not reach. His foundation was quite solid, and his combat strength was extraordinary.

Currently, no one in the natives of this world could make Chen Feng use his full strength. The battle in front of Bill was mainly an act, so he naturally restrained himself.

Because he was worried about the influence of Ling Fengzi on the other side, he avoided the troops of both sides during the show and their fight did not affect too many soldiers.

However, this time, Zhou Jing did not intend to hold back. He directly started fighting among the soldiers. The more the aftershocks, the better.

Tonight, he was directly exposed to the eyes of the hidden sentries. No matter how they sounded the alarm, he did not intend to launch a sneak attack. He swaggered closer so that the soldiers would have time to prepare to face him. This would allow him to completely destroy the enemy’s morale to intimidate them.

— You know that I’m coming, but can you stop me?

In addition, Zhou Jing was not alone. He had also brought his troops and placed them far away to hide. They were just temporarily on standby.

The strategy was rough and simple. He would charge in alone and fully release his lethality. After disrupting the enemy, his own troops would wait for an opportunity to move in as well.

Zhou Jing took his time. By the time he walked to the camp, the guards had already woken up. They had shut the camp gate tightly and gathered their troops to guard the battlements. Countless arrows were aimed at him from afar.

There was clearly only one bandit, but many soldiers did not dare to surround him. Instead, they took a defensive posture.

“Stop! Criminal Chen, if you continue forward, we’ll shoot ten thousand arrows at once!”

An officer hid behind the door and did not dare to show his head as he shouted sternly.

Zhou Jing stopped in his tracks and ignored the countless archers. His mouth curled up,

“So many people are against me, but they don’t even dare to leave the camp. They don’t have the guts. Grandpa came alone tonight to specially send you to the netherworld. Why don’t you try shooting arrows and see if you can kill me?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the hearts of the soldiers trembled.

A single person had actually brazenly attacked the camp!

The soldiers subconsciously felt that it was ridiculous, but their opponent was Chen Feng, who had long displayed terrifying martial strength. They did not dare not take it seriously and became nervous.

Although there was only one enemy attacking, the officer did not dare to be careless.

“Release the arrows!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh —

Zhou Jing did not dodge. He bent his knees and jumped, causing the ground to crack. His body shot out like a cannonball, facing the arrow curtain head on!

Countless arrows hit his body, but they were all repelled by the circulating layer of internal energy.

The fourth apostle had practiced the profound martial arts of the local sects a period of time and had long undergone a qualitative change. He was the first person in the world to break through the new realm of this world’s [Martial Arts Internal Force] system. His inner Qi had already reached the stage of being able to be released externally at will, raising the upper limit of this world’s martial arts system.

Coupled with the use of the Martial Path Aura, his body seemed to be covered by an invisible air shield. Ordinary attacks could not break through his protective energy at all.

Moreover, his resistance was already at Second Order, and he had the Trait of [Tough Resilient Body]. His muscles were tough, and it was difficult for sharp weapons to break through. His defense was basically pumped full and was not afraid of the arrows at all.

He smashed through the entrance of the camp and did not stop charging. The soldiers holding spears and shields behind the door were instantly knocked over, and their formation was broken.

Zhou Jing held the Coiling Dragon Spear and did not show any mercy at all as he passed. He charged forward with all his might. Among the ten thousand soldiers, it was as if he had entered an uninhabited place. Wherever he passed, a storm of blood swept up. He was unstoppable.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The invisible wind blades he released from his spear movements were even more unrestrained. Without needing to come into contact or close range, he could kill the enemy from dozens of feet away.

In the camp, the soldiers were layered and surrounded one person, but they were instead beaten up until they suffered heavy casualties. It was difficult for a complete corpse to be left under Zhou Jing’s spear.

The crowd fell in droves, and the soldiers got terrified. The soldiers in the inner circle hesitated and even retreated in fear. On the other hand, there was an endless stream of support from the soldiers in the outer circle, surrounding their comrades and pincering them towards Chen Feng.

“Hold back Criminal Chen. Reinforcements will arrive from time to time. Perfected Master Windwalker is rushing over!”

There were officers hiding among the soldiers outside, shouting to stabilize the morale of the troops.

It was fine if the two armies were fighting, but at this moment, there was only one opponent. Moreover, he was indestructible and powerful, possessing crushing lethality that completely exceeded the understanding of ordinary people. It was too much of a blow to the morale of the army, which caused the troop mental states to collapse even faster than during the war itself.

Zhou Jing ignored the reactions of the soldiers and started killing wantonly. The corpses around him piled up like a mountain.

Just as the soldiers were about to escape, a cold wind suddenly blew in the field.

Everyone looked up in unison. It was Ling Fengzi that had rushed over.

“Perfected Master Windwalker is here!”

“That’s great. Perfected One, hurry up and attack. Don’t let this Criminal Chen show off!”

The soldiers perked up and were overjoyed. They felt that their savior had finally arrived.

Without another word, Ling Fengzi swept up a violent wind and started to engage Chen Feng who was on the ground.

However, soon, everyone realized that something was weird.

The two of them fought fiercely, but they did not avoid the surrounding soldiers. They stirred up wind and sand in the camp, and countless soldiers were swept into it.

Some of the people swept over were directly shattered by Chen Feng, some were cut off by the wind blades, and some were swept into the sky by the wind and smashed into meat paste.

For a moment, the number of casualties among the soldiers increased drastically, and more people died. Moreover, they could not maintain their formation in the gale at all, and their lineup was completely shattered.

There was sand and stones everywhere, and the wind blinded their eyes. The visibility was extremely short, and all the soldiers did not know the situation. They could only hear screams that were either close or far away.

Everyone was so frightened that they fled in all directions. The scene immediately devolved into endless chaos.

The officer shouted with all his might, but it was useless. His eyes almost popped out from all the yelling instead.

They originally thought that the arrival of Perfected Master Windwalker would definitely restrain Chen Feng’s ferocious might as usual, but they did not expect it to cause greater casualties to the camp.

Only then did the surviving officers know what it meant to have mortals suffer in a battle between immortals.

“Retreat! Retreat!”

The officers could not maintain their troops. They could only organize their personal guards who had not fallen in chaos and quickly retreat from the battlefield.

However, it was too late.

Shuashuashua —

Invisible wind blades suddenly descended from the sky, as if they had missed their opponents, and happened to head straight for the teams of officers.

These officers and personal guards could not resist at all. In the dense wind blades, they were quickly chopped into minced meat, and their screams stopped.

The battle between the two of them affected the camp here, causing countless casualties. For a moment, this place seemed to have turned into a meat grinder.

Rumble—

Suddenly, the ground shook.

The surrounding camps had sent troops to help.

Only at this moment did the two people in the battle stop.

The flying sand and stones in the field gradually stopped. Only then did the Imperial Court’s troops who had come to help see the current situation of the camp clearly and could not help but gasp.

The commanders of these few routes were all seasoned soldiers. However, when they saw the tragic scene here, they were so shocked that they could not speak.

The huge camp was already in tatters. The walls of the stronghold had collapsed, and the tents were all torn apart by the wind.

Corpses in the armor of the soldiers were all over the ground. There was almost no one with a complete body. There were shattered chunks of meat, blood, and flesh everywhere, as if they were covered in a black and red fungus blanket.

The soldiers guarding this place were either dead or fleeing. Those who were lucky enough to survive had already gone crazy from fear. They had basically been wiped out.

Just as the reinforcements were terrified, Zhou Jing, who was covered in blood, turned his scarlet eyes to look at them.

“Alright, there are some more pigs and dogs from the Imperial Court. Grandpa hasn’t had enough fun killing them. If I don’t teach you how to bury corpses everywhere today, my name will be written upside down!”

His tone was sinister and thunderous.

The soldiers who came to support were shaken and terrified when they heard this.

“Die under my spear!”

Zhou Jing shouted, his growl sounding like that of a ferocious beast.

At this moment, black gas suddenly emitted from his body and condensed above his head like a black cloud.

This black cloud rolled and changed its form continuously, gradually turning into a ferocious demon like a yaksha. It also let out a miserable roar at the soldiers.

“Die—”

This was not an illusion. All the soldiers present saw this scene.

In an instant, everyone was so frightened that their minds went blank.

“De-demon!!”

“Run!”

The soldiers instantly lost their courage and abandoned their armor. They cried and ran away.

Even the commanding officer was horrified. He could not be bothered to maintain the army formation and also turned around to escape in panic. There was no fighting spirit in his heart, only dense fear.

Zhou Jing finally came back to his senses and suppressed his boiling killing intent. He looked up at the evil spirit above in surprise, feeling puzzled at its occurrence.

“What is this thing?”

He himself did not know where this thing came from.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and opened the interface to take a look.

A new message appeared before his eyes.

[Milestone Achievement [Massacre of All] has been completed.]
