Chapter 109: Devour Them!

“Never let a moment of pride, nor a fleeting stroke of luck, bring disappointment to all who believe in you, nor cast those you protect into despair…”

This warrior saint, unmatched across the land, this proud and towering figure, shed a single tear.

Losing Jingzhou through carelessness.

It was the ache of his entire life.

The illustrious Bearded Lord, the mighty Warrior Saint, had but one regret.

All because of a momentary lapse, a brief arrogance, a fleeting chance.

He allowed the mighty Han Empire to fall in ruins in an instant!

He gazed upon Lin Fan as if looking at his own youthful, spirited self.

“Remember this, boy!” Lin Fan nodded earnestly. “I promise you, with me here, the Han Empire will never face an enemy within its borders!”

Behind Lin Fan, the members of the Godslayer Army responded solemnly and in unison: “We pledge, with us present, the Han Empire will never be invaded!”

Guan Yu looked at Lin Fan and those earnest, youthful faces of the young men and women, then laughed proudly. His ethereal form, growing ever more intangible, patted Lin Fan on the shoulder.

“Guan Yu believes in you.”

It was as if passing a torch, as if giving final counsel.

Then, amidst that laughter, the silent guardian of the Great Xia slowly faded away.

“Farewell to the Warrior Saint of Great Xia, Guan Yu!”

Lin Fan held back tears and called out loudly.

Watching the Warrior Saint vanish before his eyes—though he knew it was but a lingering soul trapped within the Azure Dragon Blade—an inexplicable sorrow welled up within him.

The Godslayer Army members, their bodies wounded and cloaks stained with blood, shouted in unison: “Farewell to the Warrior Saint of Great Xia, Guan Yu!”

The phantom dissipated.

Lin Fan’s terrifying sword aura gradually calmed.

The Godslayer Army members looked upon the bloodied Lin Fan—who, moments ago, had nearly been crushed to death but still rose, like the Azure Dragon slaying that Yeti.

They beheld him as if witnessing an unyielding monument.

Suddenly, Lin Fan sheathed his blade and shouted, “Godslayer Army, mission accomplished!”

“Mission accomplished!”

The Godslayer Army roared.

At that moment, even Dao Wanqian, a master of inner energy, could not help but whisper softly upon seeing these spirited, bloodied youths: “Mission accomplished.”

For a while, the once-tense atmosphere relaxed, as if only hearing the word “victory” marked the true end of the battle.

Several blood-soaked youths immediately fainted—having reached their limits and only barely holding on.

“Medical team, expedite treatment,” Lin Fan ordered. “Also, extract some blood from the Yeti leader for Elder Chen’s analysis.”

“Then…”

“Light a fire—roast every single one of these Yetis! And call in the other three squads of the Godslayer Army, along with three hundred special forces soldiers!”

Lin Fan’s eyes burned with hatred as he looked at the Yetis’ corpses.

Especially the massive Yeti leader.

Cannibals are destined to be eaten by others!

When they fed on humans, they should have known the moment would come when they themselves became prey!

Chi Que’s eyes flickered with fierce resolve; without a word, he ignited a torrent of flames.

The roaring fire flowed across the ground, its scorching heat bypassing the living and the three fallen Godslayer comrades, searing the Yetis’ bodies.

Crackling sounds filled the cavern.

White fur turned to ash, while the tough hides sizzled and dripped oil, sending a strange aroma through the cave.

Yet, this fragrance did not whet Lin Fan’s appetite.

For their flesh was nourished by countless human lives!

The only reason Lin Fan and the others could consume these Yetis was hatred!

Hatred for those who preyed upon the people of Great Xia!

When the fire died down, a Godslayer Army member glanced at the three fallen comrades, grit his teeth, and lunged forward, biting into the Yeti leader’s corpse.

“Devour them! Damn beasts! Even in death, I will leave you without a trace!”

“Crush every bone with your teeth!”

Cannibals shall be eaten in turn!

Consume their flesh and gnaw their hides!

This was the vengeance of Great Xia!

This was Great Xia’s retribution!

For such beasts that fed on Great Xia’s people, there was no mercy, no sympathy—only tit for tat!

Each person’s eyes reddened; they did not wish to eat these monsters, but only through this act could they express their wrath!

At the cavern’s edge, the three squads who had blocked five Yetis trying to escape hurried over. Seeing their comrades gnawing on the Yetis like madmen, they froze momentarily.

But upon noticing the three fallen comrades, they asked no questions. Their eyes reddened as they too pounced like lunatics, tearing into the cursed Yetis!

They even smashed the bones with weapons before swallowing them!

Situ Hong led the charge, and upon seeing the Godslayer Army’s frenzy, she seemed to understand. Her eyes blazing red, she pointed at the field of Yeti corpses and shouted, “Leave nothing uneaten!”

“I want every one of these beasts inside the bellies of Great Xia’s people!”

“Also, most of the food these Yetis had captured were villagers from nearby settlements. Send people to gather the villagers to identify the bodies not yet consumed, and then… have them come here too!”

“This is the entire Great Xia’s hatred!”

“Only by devouring the flesh and bones of these beasts can we cleanse Great Xia’s grievance!”

Meanwhile, Lin Fan was biting into the Yeti’s flesh.

It was not tasty.

Even fortified by the Tianshan Snow Lotus and carrying its effects, it was still unpalatable.

Yet, Lin Fan gnawed wildly, even crunching the beast’s bones like a madman.

The nutrients absorbed from the Tianshan Snow Lotus by the Yeti rapidly repaired Lin Fan’s body, cleansing his flesh and blood, making his muscles more powerful and bones more resilient.

Under the mediation of the Yeti’s flesh, the Snow Lotus’s energy became gentler and was absorbed more efficiently.

“Crack!”

Beneath that warm flow, Lin Fan, Dao Wanqian, Mo Buzhi, and other members of the Godslayer Army’s first squad simultaneously heard a crisp sound.

Their damaged foundations, under the strange influence of the Tianshan Snow Lotus, restored once more, becoming even more translucent!

Lin Fan’s strength surged at this moment; the shackles of a demigod loosened further. His power now approached that of a true deity, only a breath away!

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Sounds of bursts of power erupted repeatedly as some Godslayer Army members broke through their limits.

Yet, in their eyes, there was no joy or excitement.

“Damn beasts!”

“Crush their bones! Their hearts!”

Only hatred gleamed in their eyes.

At the foot and mid-slopes of Tianshan Mountain, as phones rang, once-quiet villages erupted with confused calls.

“What? Yetis? The legendary Yetis really exist?”

“You mean the Godslayer Army went to the peak of Tianshan to kill Yetis?”

“Why kill Yetis? Aren’t they auspicious creatures of Tianshan?”

But soon, those questions turned into furious shouts.

“Our missing loved ones were found in the Yeti cave…”

“They were captured and eaten by those Yetis hiding in Tianshan!”

“Those damned beasts!”

Wailing wives and men clenching fists rushed from their homes to the streets, running toward the towering summit of Tianshan. Even elderly men in their sixties and seventies, leaning on canes, summoned all their strength to ascend the mountain’s peak.

Some didn’t even have time to put on jackets.

A fire burned in their eyes.

The fire of their rage!

At the same time, as the news spread, some media outlets caught wind and stirred into action.
