Chapter 105: The Madness Belonging Solely to the Beast
At this moment, these boys and girls had shed all traces of childhood innocence. They had become true members of the Godslayer Corps, warriors genuinely recognized by Lin Fan. Warriors who dared to die for the Great Xia! Only such warriors could stand alongside him to protect the Great Xia!
“Remember your choice,” Lin Fan said in a deep voice. “Remember, you no longer fear death. What are the gods who want to make me kneel in the face of that?”
“From now on, remember one sentence.”
“To fight and to die for the Great Xia!”
Everyone shouted loudly: “To fight and to die for the Great Xia!”
The fighting spirit ignited.
Lin Fan looked into each face before him, etching them into his heart. He knew that before long, he might see these faces disappear one by one. But he would never forget them, just as he would never forget the bloodstained scenes etched in his memories.
Many believed that the strongest fortress of the Great Xia was the steel wall being built. But Lin Fan knew better.
The truest fortress of the Great Xia was not the steel wall. It was these people before him, and all those who burned with the same fiery spirit — they were the real fortress of the Great Xia!
This fortress was invisible, yet far harder and more indestructible than any steel wall. As long as these people lived, even one among them survived, no god could set foot in the Great Xia!
And this was the very reason Lin Fan had only brought the Godslayer Corps into this place this time.
They had endured battle, faced death, and witnessed their comrades fall. They knew they could die at any moment, and they understood why they would die.
Growth had always been accompanied by pain.
And the birth of a sharp blade required death.
“Remember how you feel now,” Lin Fan slowly bowed ninety degrees to these once innocent faces. “It is an honor to stand with you as comrades-in-arms.”
“You are now true members of the Godslayer Corps.”
“I will fight and die alongside you for the Great Xia!”
The young warriors bowed to Lin Fan in return: “To fight and die for the Great Xia!”
From this moment on, these words would become the motto of the Godslayer Corps. Not inspiring or uplifting, but brutally simple and direct. They clearly expressed the purpose of the Corps’ founding and always reminded its members of their mission. These words would give them the courage to draw their blades even when facing gods or death.
This would transform the Godslayer Corps into a true sharp blade.
“Give them a proper burial,” a young boy suddenly said.
The Compassionate Master whispered softly, “Amitābha, I will chant sutras to help the three honored souls find peace.”
Lin Fan shook his head. “No rush.”
His voice suddenly turned cold. “Next, more of us may die.”
He turned his gaze toward the darkness ahead, deeper into the cave.
“Roar!!!”
The heavy breathing abruptly stopped, replaced by a deafening roar!
Thunderous footsteps crashed like rolling thunder, shaking the entire Tianshan Mountains at this moment!
“All Godslayer Corps members, prepare to fight!”
Lin Fan stepped forward, brandishing his blade. The Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade gleamed with a menacing light.
In an instant, the footsteps grew louder, rushing closer like a raging beast.
Just as the Godslayer Corps arranged their battle formation—
“Roar!”
With a furious roar, a massive white figure burst from the darkness, its sharp claws aiming straight at Lin Fan!
The colossal figure was easily over ten meters tall, as large as a five or six-story building. Even the vast cave seemed small beneath its enormous shadow.
“You weak prey, how dare you…”
“Kill my kind!”
The huge yeti leader charged at Lin Fan and the Godslayer Corps with a roar.
“Your kind?” Lin Fan sneered. “You’ve killed my own people!”
“Godslayer Corps, attack!”
“Buzz!”
Lin Fan surged forward with his blade singing like a dragon’s roar. The brilliant blade light sliced fiercely across the giant yeti’s body.
At the same time, all Godslayer Corps members surged forward with flames of wrath.
Seas of fire roared. Ice spears flew. Wooden pillars rose like dragons!
Those with elemental powers hoisted ancient cauldrons and swung long spears into the fray.
Dao Wan led with a thunderous voice, “Exorcise the immortals! Slay the demons!”
The Immortal-Slaying Sword vanished from sight, then appeared alongside the azure dragon blade before the yeti.
The Confucian scholar Mo Buzhi wielded his brush, ink swirling mightily, connecting heaven and earth with a majestic literary aura.
The brush, stained with black ink, inscribed dazzling golden characters that seemed to embody the will of heaven and earth!
“Life I desire, righteousness I also desire; if I cannot have both, I will choose righteousness over life!”
To give up life!
With a roar, the golden characters, carrying the will of the Great Xia, slammed down upon the yeti!
The Compassionate Master of the Buddhist order held a nine-ringed staff, draped in a brocade kasaya, surrounded by clouds of merit like the radiant sun.
He struck the yeti with tremendous force, the staff crashing down like a thousand-pound hammer.
Star Night vanished into thin air, his figure dissipating like ink, only the Fish Intestine Sword streaking like a meteor toward the yeti!
This was the full might of the Godslayer Corps!
This was a strike of the Great Xia!
“Boom!”
The earth trembled and mountains shook.
The massive yeti leader was blasted backward, its resilient body covered with gruesome wounds, white fur stained with blood.
“Huff…”
It lay panting on the ground, watching the young man with the blade step closer.
“Prey…”
“You are not prey,” Lin Fan said expressionlessly, stopping before the giant yeti. “Remember our name: Great Xia, Godslayer Corps!”
The Azure Dragon Blade trembled violently.
Lin Fan raised his blade to strike—
But in the next instant, the yeti’s ugly face twisted into a cruel grin. Suddenly, it pulled out a massive lotus flower.
The lotus was snow-white, radiating an icy chill and a pure white light.
Sacred and divine.
The moment the lotus appeared, the entire cave seemed to brighten.
Lin Fan was momentarily stunned: “Tianshan Snow Lotus…”
But before he could react, the gravely injured yeti leader used its last strength to shove the snow lotus into its mouth, chewing fiercely!
“Are you courting death?” Lin Fan did not expect such a move.
Though powerful, the yeti had been forcibly awakened by Lin Fan and was now extremely weak. Its body could not withstand the Tianshan Snow Lotus.
Swallowing it would cause it to explode from within!
In an instant, a terrifying aura erupted.
The yeti howled in pain as its huge body began to swell, muscles bulging larger beneath the skin.
The deadly wounds rapidly healed, bathed in gentle energy that nourished and cleansed it!
“Weak prey… how dare you kill my kind…”
“Even if I die, I will kill you food for my kind!”
The yeti, on the verge of exploding, roared madly with bloodshot eyes fixed on Lin Fan.
It was a madness unique to beasts.
