Chapter 29: Dark Clouds of Xishi

  (Second update, seeking recommendations and collections, thank you!)

  "This bunch of trash!"

  Upon receiving the intelligence that the assassination of Iverson had failed, Hiller, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Xisu Kingdom, turned pale with rage and bellowed.

  "A group of experts went to kill those few insignificant people from Iverson's side, not only did they fail, but eight of them also died."

  "Those so-called masters under your command are just a bunch of good-for-nothings who only know how to eat and loaf around."

  The man standing beside him stared intently at the letter in his hand and said without lifting his head.

  "Bloodshed is not as good as sending your men to go, right?"

  Having heard the man's words, Schiller suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly.

  "My men, it's a waste to use them against these people. Besides, this time not only did we fail, but we also dragged the Kade family into it, and the Huoyun Empire will definitely not let us off easily." Blood Kill shook his head.

  There was a very noticeable wound on his face, slanting from the middle of his forehead to his chin, and his face seemed to have been split open in the middle and then stitched back together. This ugly scar made his originally handsome face show a strange and evil aura.

  "Let's put off killing Iverson for now." Blood Kill said, handing the letter in his hand to Hille.

  "Aren't you afraid Iverson will spill our secret?" Schiller seemed unwilling to give up.

  "Iverson must die, and everyone else who knows about it must die too. This is more urgent." Blood Kill said as he handed him the letter.

  "People on the mainland may have already forgotten that great war a thousand years ago. But there will still be those who remember, and it's better to be cautious." Blood Kill said.

  Xie lowered his head and looked at it for a while, with a hint of joy on his face.

  "It seems that as long as we can kill Prince Shiyan, everything will be easy to handle. Once the Huoyun is in chaos, Asman will take action, and when two tigers fight, we can reap the benefits."

  "This matter, I'll arrange for someone under me to take care of it. Take me to see our treasure!" Xue Sha laughed.

  Along a long, cold flight of stairs, Shiller brought Blood Kill to the door of a stone chamber. The guard opened the door of the stone chamber. A long corridor appeared behind the door, and then came the sound of beasts howling, making people think that the gates of hell had been opened.

  "Is everything going smoothly?" Blood Kill listened to the wailing sounds coming from inside, looking very pleased.

  "As per your request, we selected two thousand of the best soldiers from the army as the first batch of experimental subjects. As a result, only four hundred survived and succeeded." Shiller shook his head and sighed.

  "General Shiller, are you mourning your soldiers?" Blood Kill laughed.

  "I think this ratio is too low. The process is too painful, and it's extremely difficult to succeed unless one has an extremely strong will." Schiller shook his head and said.

  "You should know, these finished products are weapons worth a hundred times their value."

  Xier nodded. He had also seen a surviving soldier who, in a fit of madness, tore apart a lion and drank its blood.

  "I thought the executioner's hand had softened." Xue Sha laughed sarcastically and then walked forward along the path.

  Next to the corridor were cells. In each cell, a soldier was locked up, every soldier covered in blood, letting out waves of painful wails inside the room.

  Xie stood at the door and didn't go forward. He never went in to take a look, fearing it would affect his appetite.

  Blood Kill stood outside a cell, staring blankly through the window at the soldier inside. He knew that the soldier was at a critical moment in the experiment. The soldier's entire body was covered in expanding pores, with fresh blood seeping out rapidly, and his skin falling off piece by piece, revealing bloody muscles underneath. Those exposed muscles seemed to have thousands of worms writhing within them, twisting and turning in convulsions, splattering blood everywhere.

  There was no expression of pain on his face, because the face had disappeared, leaving only a skull with some rotten flesh hanging from it. Those two still very clear eyes let people know what kind of pain he was experiencing.

  "Ah!" The soldier seemed to be unable to bear the great pain in his body, raised his hand to hold his head and squatted on the ground, with just a light scratch, the scalp and hair also left the body, leaving only a blood-red bald head.

  Finally, his eyes also turned blood red. He looked up and saw the bloody killing outside the window, his eyes became extremely mad, he let out a loud roar to the sky, and pounced on him fiercely.

  With a loud "bang", the transformed soldier crashed into the door and then fell to the ground with a soft thud, turning into a bloody pulp.

  "This is a good seedling, unfortunately it didn't persist." Xue Sha wiped away the brains and blood splattered on his face, saying regretfully.

  "Lord Schiller, we need to hurry up and bring in a few more batches. The more successful ones we have, the more hope we'll get." Blood Kill turned around and said to Schiller who was standing still at the door.

  "And remember, adults, what I'm saying. Don't let anyone else get their blood on them. Only we are not afraid of their blood; to others, it's the kiss of death."

  "This I have always remembered, don't worry about it. It's just that these people drinking fresh blood every day is a bit of a hassle," Schiller said.

  "Then let's get more convicts out," Blood Kill laughed, "The kingdom has so many civilians, are you afraid of not being able to support them?"

  Xie hesitated for a moment and reluctantly nodded.

  Xie Le turned around and walked out of the stone room, followed by Blood Kill. The door of the stone room closed again.

  "One day we will trample this continent under our feet, and you will be the king of this continent." Blood Kill reminded, noticing Hille's hesitation.

  After hearing the words of Blood Kill, Shi Le's heart was once again burning with passion. Before his eyes appeared a sea of blood red, floating with corpses. And he wore the crown, stepping over these corpses to walk, the king knelt on the ground begging for mercy, the people of the entire continent were subject to him, shouting "Long live".

  "For that day, anything is worth it!" he thought.

  Xie Le couldn't remember when he met Xue Sha.

  This mysterious figure who suddenly appeared recommended a new breed of soldier to him. Ordinary soldiers were transformed into powerful killing machines through drugs, the "Blood Devils" in Blood Kill's words.

  The mysterious Blood Kill, the terrifying power, had also made Hille uneasy, but Blood Kill soon told him the method of creating and controlling the "Blood Demon" and offered to help him seize the throne of the Western Kingdom, even assist him in unifying the continent. This was a temptation that anyone who yearned for power could not resist, and he finally moved his heart. As for Blood Kill's request, there was only one: after he unified the continent, establish a religious organization - "Blood God".

  At that moment, Shi Le's ambition expanded extremely, and his desire for power finally overcame his unease. "Let them deal with religion, I only want the throne and the mountains."

  Soon, Shille used the bait of unifying the continent to persuade the ambitious but incompetent Emperor Wuxia to start manufacturing the "Blood Demon". However, Wuxia's brother, Prince Roberto, inadvertently discovered this and, after failing to persuade the emperor, secretly plotted to sabotage the manufacture of the "Blood Demon". Under the emperor's orders, Shille fabricated a charge of treason and had the prince and a group of officials executed.

  The fate of the Western Xia Dynasty also underwent tremendous changes as a result.
