Chapter 7: Disgust for the Continent (Part 2)

The black giant sword on Bao Chengyong’s altar suddenly flew out and soared high into the sky.
The abomination let out a terrified roar and punched the mutated blood dragon beneath it, forcing it to turn around. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, pushing the blood dragon’s barely turned body back. A mocking smile appeared on Feng Xilong’s lips.
Guo Shier was both shocked and astonished. These old monsters, top-tier professionals, were all extremely ruthless. Just a small move had thrown that abomination into a desperate situation.
The abomination was clever enough to realize resistance was futile. It flipped over and jumped off the blood dragon’s back.
Bao Chengyong’s black giant sword was already descending with a howl. The mutated blood dragon struggled desperately but found itself moving slowly, as if trapped in mud. Reluctantly, it spat out a stream of blood-colored air toward the falling sword.
When the blood-colored air touched the sword, countless tiny spells emerged from it, exploding in a rapid succession. Yet this stream of air couldn’t slow the sword even for a few seconds. The black sword sliced through the air with a roar, heading straight for the blood dragon’s head.
*Chih!*
The sound was strange, as if cutting through tofu. The black sword split the mutated blood dragon in two with a single strike, its momentum unchanged as it continued to cut.
Guo Shier’s eyes nearly popped out. This sword was too sharp—killing a level-10 mutated blood dragon in one strike!
By then, the abomination had just landed. With a loud crash, it fell face-first, just as the sword descended. It rolled over, roared, and raised its huge bone club. Before it could stand up, the sword struck the club fiercely. It was unclear what the club was made of, but it managed to block the sword.
*Boom! Crack!*
Cracks spread instantly across the club, but it still managed to block the killing strike.
Bao Chengyong exclaimed in surprise, “Huh, this guy’s bone is pretty good—it can even block my full-force strike. Hehe, let’s try again!” He cast a spell, and the giant sword transformed into countless short black swords that circled around the abomination.
Guo Shier felt his scalp tingle. He knew how to do this move too, but such a dense, orderly swarm of swords—he thought he couldn’t pull it off. He also realized that the blood dragon’s earlier stream of air was highly corrosive. If his Moon Blade came into contact with it, it would likely be corroded, yet the black swords remained unharmed.
The abomination roared as it spun around, wildly swinging its bone club, creating countless runes that circled around it to block the cutting and piercing attacks of the tiny black swords.

Feng Xilong said, “Hurry up, the mutants behind us are catching up.”
Bao Chengyong’s fingers moved rapidly in circles above his head as he shouted, “Die!” A foot-long black sword suddenly emitted a whistling sound, creating a vortex formed by the sword that spun around the mutants at high speed. Even the stones and sand on the ground were drawn into this vortex, instantly engulfing the mutants.
The roars gradually faded, and in just over ten seconds, the mutant was cut into pieces by the black sword. When the sword reformed into a giant sword and was retracted by Bao Chengyong, only a pile of flesh and blood remained on the ground.
Guo Shier said in shock, “That’s ruthless!”
At that moment, mutants riding mutated birds were already approaching.
Feng Xilong said, “This time we need everyone to help. There are too many mutants; Bao Chengyong and I can’t handle them alone.”
Bao Chengyong added, “Yeah, we need to hurry!”
Ling Zhenren said, “Let’s fight together.” He was the strongest and his words carried the most weight. Juehu Miluo also intended to join in. He said, “You four stay back. Don’t act rashly—wait for us.”
Guo Shier immediately replied, “Okay, we’re going down!” Without hesitation, he led Eagle Demon and the others down from the altar toward the ground. Juehu Miluo was momentarily stunned before realizing they were heading for the mutated blood dragon. He couldn’t help but smile—these kids knew how to seize opportunities and never waste them.
A level-10 mutated blood dragon—if these experts had time, they might have tried to collect it. But during a battle, no one would pay attention to it. So even if Guo Shier and the others went to collect it, Bao Chengyong wouldn’t demand it back; he couldn’t afford such humiliation. Juehu Miluo silently praised them before steering the altar toward the mutants.
Guo Shier said, “Uncle Eagle Demon, Uncle Luo, Dingding—go and dissect this blood dragon. I’ll be there in a moment.” With that, he rushed toward the pile of the mutants’ flesh and blood.
The spirit pearls of mutants were valuable treasures, and Guo Shier couldn’t afford to give them up. Seizing this perfect opportunity, he had to collect them first, even if it meant sacrificing the blood dragon—he wouldn’t give up the mutants’ spirit pearls.
A series of virtual talismans were thrown into the pile of flesh and blood. In an instant, a roaring giant silhouette appeared, surrounded by layers of virtual talismans, which rapidly compressed it. Guo Shier was both nervous and excited. He cast thousands of virtual talismans, with ancient runes and spells flying out to entangle the mutant’s spirit, gradually compressing it into a spirit pearl the size of a fist. Without taking the time to examine it closely, he stored it in his life talisman’s spirit container and flew back immediately.

The Eagle Demon said, “Guo Shier, you grab the soul of the Blood Dragon first!”
Guo Shier nodded excitedly and replied, “Okay!” For the first time, he felt the benefits of going out with these experts.
They extracted the soul of the Blood Dragon, purified its blood, and collected its skin. A large amount of meat was cut off—all these physical tasks were done by the Eagle Demon and Luo Zhan. Guo Shier and the others didn’t have extremely large soul storage spaces, so they had to use soul pouches. Fortunately, Guo Shier often collected them and refined them in his free time, allowing him to have plenty of pouches available.
Among the internal organs, the most valuable was the Blood Dragon’s heart. Guo Shier formed eight drops of essence blood before collecting the heart.
While the battle over there was still going on, they had already dismembered the entire Blood Dragon into pieces, leaving behind only useless scraps of bones and flesh.
…
Those chasing after them were mutants riding mutated giant eagles and mutated blood eagles—about a hundred in number, all roaring excitedly. As soon as they got close, Bao Chengyong slashed down two of them with a single sword, killing both the humans and their mutated birds in one strike, sending them falling like a rain of blood.
Immediately afterward, the formidable strength of these top professionals was revealed.
Even Ling Zhenren didn’t use an altar. He simply reached out with his hand, and a yellow hand covered in talismans descended from the sky, grabbing a mutated giant eagle and the mutant on it. With just a squeeze, the eagle and the mutant turned into a rain of blood and flesh.
The most ruthless was Yan Ruodai. Sitting on the altar, she held a silver lightning staff. As she waved it, a layer of electric net spread out, covering the three mutated birds. Immediately, there was a loud crackling sound, with arcs of electricity flying everywhere and sparks shooting out. The three mutated birds collapsed, convulsing.
Shi Yanxi Long and Feng Xi Long also stepped in. Juehu Miluo, however, did not attack. He flew alone behind the group of mutants, blocking their escape routes.
Whether they were mutated giant eagles or mutated blood eagles, they were all at least level 8, with the highest being level 9—all quite powerful mutated birds. But in front of Ling Zhenren’s group, they became nothing but weaklings, killed in an instant, with one-third of them slain even without them fighting at full strength.
Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, the mutants tried to flee in panic. But in front of these top professionals, it was impossible to escape. Once trapped by them, without any special tactics, death was almost certain. In just a few moments, more than half of the mutated birds and mutants were killed.

Guo Shier and the others dared not enter the battle zone. They were all thinking about how to obtain the souls of those dead mutants and the materials from the mutated birds. Although the mutated birds were not of very high rank, in Guo Shier’s eyes, they were still valuable.

Eagle Demon pulled Guo Shier back, urging him, “Don’t go in, don’t go in… It’s too dangerous. If you get caught in it, you won’t be able to withstand it.”

Guo Shier sighed and said, “So fierce! It’s like chopping vegetables—there’s no comparison at all.”

Although the mutants had a human-like appearance, they weren’t humans. They could only be considered intelligent mutated talisman beasts, or rather, mutated talisman beasts that looked very human. Thus, these professionals killed them without any moral hesitation.

In less than five minutes, all the mutated birds and mutants were wiped out.

Guo Shier really wanted to go ahead and clean up, but Juehu Miluo used a virtual talisman to lift the four of them directly onto the altar. Ling Zhenren said, “Let’s go! We don’t have time to waste!”

Eagle Demon whispered, “What a shame!”

Guo Shier nodded repeatedly and said, “It’s not just a shame—it’s a complete waste!”

Juehu Miluo didn’t understand what the two were talking about and asked, “What’s a shame? What’s a waste?”

Guo Shier pointed at the corpses of the mutated birds on the ground and said, “All that material wasn’t collected—what a waste!” By now, Juehu Miluo had already used the altar to leave that place and was instantly hundreds of miles away.

Juehu Miluo said, “There’s nothing to be sorry about. We didn’t have time to collect it. If we had time… we wouldn’t have thrown away those materials either. After all, they were all mutated birds of level eight or nine. But…” He smiled slightly and said, “Didn’t you obtain the souls of the mutated blood dragon and the alienated human? If it weren’t for you collecting them, I believe Bao Chengyong wouldn’t have let them go. When you rest, you should thank Senior Bao Chengyong.”

Mutated birds of level eight or nine could be given up, but a level-ten mutated blood dragon—even top professionals wouldn’t give it up. As for alienated humans, they would never be given up at all.

Guo Shier’s face turned slightly red as he realized he had been a bit reckless for taking things without permission. He nodded and said, “Yes, uncle.”

The group flew forward at lightning speed. Guo Shier estimated that if he flew on his own, even at full speed, he could only reach one-third of that speed. For these top professionals, it was just a normal way of traveling.

After flying for about half a day, Feng Xilong said, “Stop! Stop now!”

Ling Zhenren wondered, “What’s wrong?”
