Chapter 116: Intermediate Spirit Rank (1/2)
That night, after the city guards cleaned up the battlefield, they didn’t move forward anymore. The military merits needed to be counted, the spoils required to be collected, and the wounded needed to be treated.
However, Shiqi had already sent pigeons to the frontline Bauhinia Legion. When everything was arranged, it was already midnight.
Xiao Qixiang didn’t sleep either, nor slack off either. He helped Shiqi to handle some chores. This makes Shiqi had a better sense for him. At least he could do something; that was, he is a little lacking at the critical moment.
“Commander Chen, you are not going to kill those prisoners yourself, are you?”
“Well, what’s the problem?”
Xiao Qixiang knew that Chen Pengfei would never let the prisoners go, but he continued, “Living prisoners are better than dead ones. The captured prisoners are more valuable, and the military merits that can be exchanged are more. Sometimes the military exchanges a group of important prisoners with the Black Blood Nation, and the group of prisoners in our hands can be used as a bargaining chip.”
“But what I reported was beheading. Two thousand and five prisoners, I still use Commander Xiao’s seal!”
“Er … then kill it!”
Shiqi had just asked the Lord Sword Spirit. The Crimson Blood Devil Sword had enough energy to upgrade.
He was in a delighted mood now, so he said one more sentence: “Commander Xiao, don’t forget, we haven’t reached the front line yet. What if the Black Blood Kingdom army infiltrates into the rear of the battle line is not only the one just now? In the battle, hundreds of enemies have escaped, and they are likely to spread the news!”
“So, after we have a rest tonight, we must hurry on forward. Only when we meet with the members of the Bauhinia Legion are we safe. Today’s casualties are not small if we reencounter an enemy…”
Xiao Qixiang nodded. He understood what Shiqi wanted to say. Although he felt that the other party was still looking for an excuse to kill the prisoner, the reason was quite good! Xiao Qixiang left, but he kept silent about horses.
During the day, Shiqi’s horse was borrowed from Xiao Qixiang. It was really a suitable war horse!
“Find a quieter place!” Chen Hao said to Seventeen eagerly.
“Okay!”
Shiqi walked out of the camp and said to Xiong Tingzhi, “I’ll go out for a walk. If someone asks for me, let him wait!”
“Okay, commander!”
Stepping into the mountain forest, Shiqi cast the wind step and ran for five miles before stopping. He found a mountain, checked it around for half an hour, and made sure no one was there.
Chen Hao was delighted with Shiqi’s caution. The long-lost system prompt sounds: “The upgrade energy has been met. Does the host want to upgrade?”
“Upgrade!” Chen Hao said without hesitation. The last time the sword was upgraded was a long time ago.
The Crimson Blood Devil Sword exuded a strong high temperature, and the entire sword had turned crimson, like a red soldering iron!
The smell of grilled meat floated. Chen Hao said in the devil sword: “You can put down the sword!”
Shiqi horizontally cut off a huge stone and laid the crimson blood sword flat on the stone platform.
The blood-red glow of the dark light dyed the night into red, the evil aura was automatically turned on, the killing aura was raging, and the wind bursts, Shiqi was shrouded in the evil aura, feeling the killing aura lurking in his body boiling again, and his eyes were stained with blood.
In the dimness of the blood-colored world, he saw many distorted, terrible, ugly, and unknown faces. Those faces grew out of their mouths, wailing and venomous curses… They just showed up. It disappeared quickly like smoke and dust and then turned into other, strange, and familiar faces!
Shiqi stood next to the Crimson Blood Devil Sword, just watching them appear, and then they disappeared. Their backs were straight, under the silver mask, their expressions did not fluctuate at all.
At the end of the illusion, Shiqi grasped the hilt of the crimson blood sword and asked, “Lord Sword Spirit, did you succeed?”
“Well, it worked!” Chen Hao said happily, “Let’s go back first.”
Chen Hao first opened the property panel and looked at it carefully. The Crimson Devil Sword had just evolved, and some skills were not suitable for the sword owner to know and must be hidden.
After evolving into an intermediate spirit weapon, Chen Hao’s current attributes were as follows:
Sword Name: Crimson Blood

Fourteenth Sword Master: Lan Shiqi
