Chapter 468: Techniques on Display (1/2)

The battlefield was chaotic. No one had expected the war to escalate to this scale, but Xue Wei was full of delightful and somewhat manic pleasure as he was killing one expert after another.

He felt how his soul was being nourished as he absorbed the soul power of each of the people he killed. Never allowing them to reincarnate, but not feeling even the slightest guilt.

It was not only him, all the experts who specialized in Spiritual Energy would also all absorb the dense and thick soul power permeating through the air.

The smile on Xue Wei's lips grew increasingly malevolent as he stepped further and further towards the enemy lines.

All his friends knew that the killing intent was taking over his rational thoughts, but they did not stop him. It was so rare for him to let go, and when he finally had the chance, who were they to try and stop it for him?

”Everyone, Xue Wei has gone rogue, the rest of us are to protect Lin Xiao with our lives!” Bai Tianyi called out, but he was not mad. Instead, an amused smile hung on his lips as he glanced at Xue Wei.

Xue Wei's eyes were shining coldly, but with a bit of happiness deep within. He had long since transformed his hands and arms into that of a dragon's, and he no longer conjured up a Qi sword. Instead, he used his bare fists to rip apart anyone who came into striking distance.

He was feeling the enjoyable smell of blood waft into his nose, and the beastly side of his personality was getting stronger and stronger, but he still retained a slight bit of rational thought.

He knew that if he genuinely descended into madness, it would be impossible for him to extract himself again in the future, and that he would end up as a killing machine that would not differentiate between friend and foe.

Taking a deep breath, he looked around the battlefield. While it was entirely possible for him to continue on like now, ripping apart person after person, and experiencing the feeling of being bathed in blood, he aimed for something different.

He had come here to try and get his potential ignited, and it would never happen unless he was in a life and death battle.

As such, he was looking for a strong individual whom he could fight against, and test his strength.

”Little Wei, why don't you approach the cages?” Lan's voice suddenly rang in Xue Wei's head. ”They captured one of your friends inside them, don't you want to save that little bird from the Chi branch? Not to mention, the stronger experts are likely to have been positioned around the cage, ensuring that no one can allow the birds to escape.”

Xue Wei contemplated for a moment as he glanced towards the cage. The battle was frenzied, and the blood flowed like rivers down to the ground; the soil could simply not absorb the sheer amount of blood that was falling, and it turned to a thick and nauseating bloody mud that stuck to everyone's feet.

The Emperor and King Ranked experts fought one another in the air, their battle producing many ripples of energy which landed on the ground, tormenting anyone who was so unlucky to be hit.
