Beastmaster

Chapter 140 Corpse Law

The silence of the night seemed to reveal a sense of death.

This deathly aura was spreading in the territory of a small force on the western continent of the Beast Taming Continent.

At this time, in the middle house on the north side of the Tianxing Gang, a man in black wearing a wolf-head mask was stepping on a man's head under his left foot.

His left elbow was placed on his left knee, with his hand hanging naturally. In his right hand he held a blue sword, and there seemed to be water flowing on the sword. However, this time the water on the sword was not blue, but red blood!

Isn’t this man in black and wolf mask Jing Cangming who came to slaughter the tribe?

"Aren't you going to tell me yet? If you don't, you will all be buried with me." Jing Cangming held the Green Water Sword in his right hand and swung it fiercely to the ground. The blood on the sword instantly spilled onto the ground, looking extremely creepy.

The people in the two rooms next to him had been slaughtered by him, and the ones kneeling in front of him were the only dozen or so people left from the original Liehuo Pavilion.

However, apart from these minions, the four beast generals of the Liehuo Pavilion, including the Pavilion Master, were not in the room.

"Hero! Hero, I beg you, please spare us! We really don't know where they have gone. We are just minions and have no right to know the whereabouts of their beast generals!" An eight-foot-tall man was kneeling on the ground, bowing his hands and crying, begging Jing Cangming to spare their lives.

"Answer my questions first, and I will consider whether to let you go." Jing Cangming raised the Green Water Sword in his hand playfully, his eyes fixed on the Green Water Sword.

"Okay! Okay! Please tell me what you want to say!" the man cried and begged.

The dozen or so people nearby were all in tears at this moment. Indeed, they had never seen such a scene before. This small room was simply like hell on earth.

"Let me ask you, many years ago, weren't there only two beast generals in your Fiery Pavilion, Huo Ling and Huo Ye? How come four of them suddenly appeared?"

"I... I don't know, I really don't know, all of a sudden, the four of them became beast generals..." The man was afraid that if he said something wrong, the god of death in front of him would use his deadly scythe to cut across his neck and take away his worthless life.

Jing Cangming was obviously not satisfied with this answer. “In that case, please go to the underworld and ask who knows what’s going on, and then tell me in a dream.” As he said that, he stood up, casually kicked the head he had just stepped on to the side, and slowly walked towards it with the Green Water Sword in his hand.

Since Jing Cangming was wearing a mask, no one knew what Jing Cangming's expression was at the moment, but everyone could feel that the cold murderous intent had enveloped everyone in the room.

Jing Cangming walked closer, casually raised the Green Water Sword, and slashed towards the man's neck.

The sharp sword blade cut through the air, producing a cold sword sound.

"Don't! Don't kill me!!! I don't want to die yet!!!"

"Don't kill him! I know! I know! I'm telling you!!"

Upon hearing this, Jing Cangming stopped chopping, slowly put down the sword and looked at the man who was speaking with interest.

The man had a beard and a braid on his head, and he didn't look like a good person at all.

"Okay, then tell me. If you speak well, maybe I will spare your life," Jing Cangming said with a smile.

But this smile was so terrifying to them.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been granted amnesty, "I know, I was the captain of the guard beside the Pavilion Master before, so I know something about him."

"explain".

"It was probably not long after the death of the siblings Huo Ling and Huo Ye. At that time, we were worried that the people who killed Huo Ling and Huo Ye would kill us all, so the Pavilion Master decided to move as a group, abandon the original Liehuo Pavilion, and seek to get closer to other forces."

"Yes, I am the one who killed Huo Ling and Huo Ye," Jing Cangming said and took off the mask on his face.

Everyone was shocked, and then many of them showed despair in their eyes, and stopped crying or making a fuss, as if they were doomed to die.

The man did the same, and then he let out a sigh, "Well, since that's the case, I might as well have done a good deed before I die."

Jing Cangming looked at him with interest, as if there was some shocking secret hidden in it.

"After Huo Ling and Huo Ye died, we started our escape. Since we were in the wilderness, if we wanted to join some forces, it would take a long time for us ordinary people."

The man moved his body, his legs must be numb, "We decided to go to the Tiger Beast Village because it is the most powerful village in the Great Wilderness. I believe that if we rely on them, we can avenge Huo Ling Huo Ye."

The man smiled bitterly and said, "It's not really revenge. I just want to kill you to eliminate future troubles so that I can live a more stable life."

Jing Cangming sneered, "What happened next?"

"Later, we traveled a long way towards the direction of the Tiger Beast Village. However, before we arrived there, the news came that the Tiger Beast Village was destroyed by the Huangjiang Village. We almost collapsed at the time, but then we thought, since we have come so far, we might as well go directly to the Western Continent to find a force to join."

"What happened next?"

"Later, we turned around and headed for the Western Continent. We walked for a long time and I can’t remember when it was. Suddenly one night, a man came to visit us. From that moment on, our fate changed."

"man?"

"Yes, a skinny man. His voice was so cold that it made people feel like he had just crawled out of a grave. At that time, I and three other guard members were stationed in a tent with the Pavilion Master, so no one else knew about this except the five of us."

"Among the five people, except you, the other four have become beast generals, right?" Jing Cangming asked speculatively.

The man nodded, and at this time everyone around him looked at him in disbelief.

"Then how did they become beast generals?" Jing Cangming was very curious about this.

Although the Sky-Splitting Beast God said that in this world, awakening to become a beast general has nothing to do with the holy altar and that anyone can awaken by themselves, he had never heard of anyone in his thirties or forties being able to become a beast general, and in just a few years, he could actually cultivate to the stage of a beast spirit.

At this point, the man couldn't help but become red-eyed. His hands, which were tied tightly behind his back, were clenched into fists. He gritted his teeth, as if this was something extremely heinous to both humans and gods.

Seeing this, Jing Cangming did not continue to urge him, but just looked at the crying man quietly.

After a while, the man forced himself to control his trembling body and said slowly, "They...they...they become beast generals by absorbing the lives of others!"

"What?!!!" Jing Cangming rushed to the man in an instant, grabbed his collar tightly and shook him, "What did you say?!"

The man suddenly burst into tears, and all the believers who were still able to breathe looked at him in horror.

The man just kept sobbing and didn't utter a word.

Seeing his look, Jing Cangming let him go, took a few steps back, and stared at him.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Jing Cangming calmed down and said lightly.

The man suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and shouted helplessly, "Kill me!! It's been so many years!!! I've been holding it in for so many years!! I'm sorry to everyone!!! I'm sorry to the dead followers!! 1Kill me!!!"

Jing Cangming raised his hand and released his ocean power. A stream of water instantly poured down his head. The cold sea water continued to cool him down, trying to calm him down.

It must be said that this trick really works. When facing a person who is almost insane, the best way is to use cold water to help him calm down.

After a while, the man was soaked like a drowned dog. The cold wind at night was extremely biting, and he had just been drenched by sea water, so he began to shiver.

"That...that skinny old man...gave us a book called...the Secret of Corpse Method. By using this secret...to absorb the blood of living people...we can...defy fate...and become a general..."

Upon hearing this, the man who first answered Jing Cangming's question suddenly widened his eyes, and then the others also widened their eyes one after another.

"Could it be that what the Pavilion Master said about the more than 100 people leaving the Fiery Pavilion... was a lie?"

The man seemed unwilling to believe his own idea, so he asked tentatively.

Unexpectedly, the former captain of the guard actually nodded his head slowly.

What does this mean? This means that the more than 100 people died because their blood was absorbed by the four people including the Pavilion Master.

Jing Cangming was so angry that he couldn't speak, and just stared at the former captain of the guard.

"That... person said... after using the Corpse Bone Technique... one will become... extremely bloodthirsty... one must... absorb the blood of... twenty people... at one time... to consolidate... the technique... to ensure... one can become a beast general... at that time, the four... four of them seemed to be possessed... they used the excuse of looking for everyone to have a heart-to-heart talk... to get... everyone to come over... these people... have never... gone out since they came... they... have all... been... killed..." the captain of the guard said, his body trembling continuously.

Jing Cangming casually threw a raging fire in front of him. The temperature of the flame instantly evaporated his wet clothes and warmed him up.

"Go on!" Jing Cangming was very angry at this time. He originally thought that they had encountered some opportunity, which allowed them to forcibly awaken the beast general, but now it seems that this matter may not be that simple.

"I couldn't accept this unscrupulous secret book, so I didn't practice it. That's why I was dismissed," the man said with a wry smile while looking at the ground.
