Book 5: Chapter 128: One Step Away
Gu Hai seemed to go mad when he saw the b.l.o.o.d.y divine offshoot carry Long Wanqing off.
“Kill! Hurry!” two hundred Gu Hais roared at the same time.
Boom!
Gu Hai’s army quickly turned to ma.s.sacring Incessant Pain City, emptying it.
“Gu Hai, Wanqing got captured. I’ll go look for Ming He!” an Unborn Man said anxiously.
The Unborn Man was on the verge of saving Long Wanqing to make up for his mistakes. However, a hiccup happened at the last moment. Now, the Unborn Man felt furious.
“It’s pointless to go. Just kill asuras with us,” Gu Hai said.
Gu Hai remembered Ming He’s final words. He wants me to seek him out? Netherworld Blood Sea City? He wants me to find him? He is antic.i.p.ating my arrival?
Although Gu Hai was anxious over Long Wanyu, the more he was so, the calmer he was. Otherwise, instead of saving Long Wanyu, he would harm her instead.
“No. I must go!” that Unborn Man immediately called out.
Gu Hai’s expression turned cold. “Do you think you are more concerned about Wanqing than us?”
Gu Hai glared. The Unborn Man paused; this was the first time Gu Hai treated him so coldly.
“If you go now, you will only harm Wanqing. You are not to go!” Gu Hai said coldly, brooking no defiance.

The Unborn Man clenched his fist tightly but eventually acceded to Gu Hai’s order.
“Split up and kill! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! We want to become stronger, much stronger! Kill!” Gu Hai shouted.
Boom!
The two hundred battalions split up, heading in all directions to kill.
The current Han Nation Demon Army was different from before. All the soldiers had already grown significantly. Aside from Gu Hai, the strongest asura, every battalion had other people who were asura kings. The more they killed, the stronger and the more ferocious they became.
Rumble…!
The Han Nation Demon Army swept through the Asura Path Secret Realm. Everywhere it went, it left corpses behind, slaughtering everyone.
The original asura kings could not resist the ma.s.sacre of Gu Hai’s army.
The Han Nation Demon Army went crazy, slaughtering everyone for one month, sending chills through all the asuras in the path of reincarnation secret realm.
Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
The native asuras crumbled. Even with their murderous nature, they could not compare to the Han Nation Demon Army, which was like an ocean sweeping through the world, surging towards Netherworld Blood Sea City.
Three months were up. However, Gu Hai did not bring everyone back this time because of Long Wanqing. Instead, they recited the Cla.s.sic of the Dao and Virtue as they kept killing, advancing relentlessly towards Netherworld Blood Sea City.
As time pa.s.sed, the foul aura acc.u.mulated in the Han Nation Demon Army. However, everyone followed Gu Hai, going wherever he went.
——
Netherworld Blood Sea City:
At this moment, a churning sea of blood hovered in the sky, covering the entire sky.
There were countless asuras in the city and a black river in the city center.
One hundred asura kings stood respectfully beside the black river.
Some of the asura kings raised their heads and looked at the center of the sea of blood, where Long Wanqing was trapped.
“A sea of blood floating in the sky? The ancestor is furious? The ancestor was once this angry when the Divine Blood Demon Army was preparing to attack Netherworld Blood Sea City,” an asura king exclaimed in horror.
“The Wood Asura? It turned out that the Han Nation Demon Army came for her. What a troublemaker! Why doesn’t the ancestor kill her?”
The asura kings discussed this.
Rumble…!
Suddenly, the black river churned.
“Salutations, Ancestor!” the asura kings saluted respectfully as their expressions turned sullen.
“Where is the Han Nation Demon Army now?” Ancestor Ming He asked from the river.
“Reporting to Ancestor, the Han Nation Demon Army seems to have gone crazy. They did not retreat after three months were up but kept killing. They have already killed nearly half of all the asura kings. They should arrive here in less than three months. Ancestor, please make a move. If you do not, the Han Nation Demon Army will slaughter all the asuras in this realm in another three months!” one of the asura kings said worriedly.
“Indeed. Ancestor, if you still do not make a move, it will be over. Now, no one can stop the Han Nation Demon Army. This is especially so for Gu Hai. He is the more ferocious of the lot and kills the fastest. He is now even stronger than our strongest asura king,” another asura king said worriedly.
The black water of the black river churned.
“Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! He is indeed more outstanding than that Slaughter Heavenly Emperor trash. Excellent! The more he kills, the better. The more he kills, the stronger he will be, and the stronger I will be when I go out!” Ming He’s sinister voice rang out.
“Ah? However, if Ancestor does not make a move now, can Ancestor deal with him after Gu Hai slaughters all the asuras and grows incredibly strong?” an asura king asked anxiously.
Whoos.h.!.+
A stream of blood formed a waterfall in the sky, immediately poured down, and curled around that asura king.
“Ah!” The blood stream pulled that asura king into the sky.
“Ancestor!” the other asura kings exclaimed.
“This ancestor has completely slaughtered the Asura Path Secret Realm three times. Would this ancestor’s Soul Energy be incomparable to his? Humph!” Ming He snorted coldly.
Boom!
The sea of blood in the sky shook. Then, the asura king that doubted Ming He exploded, turned into powder, and dissolved into the sea of blood.
“Yes!” the asura kings answered in horror, no longer daring to refute Ming He.
——
Gu Hai’s group continued ma.s.sacring for another two months.
By then, the Han Nation Demon Army had slaughtered nearly the entire Asura Path Secret Realm. As the two hundred million soldiers killed, they eventually gathered outside Netherworld Blood Sea City without any prior arrangements.
Who knew how many asuras Gu Hai had killed over the past few months? Even though he continuously recited the Cla.s.sic of the Dao and Virtue, his eyes became filled with the foul aura.
Gu Hai was the person with the most profound comprehension of the Cla.s.sic of the Dao and Virtue. What about the others? Now, all the asuras gave off surging b.l.o.o.d.y auras.
As the various battalions gathered, they faced the distant Netherworld Blood Sea City.
The surging sea of blood hovered in the sky above Netherworld Blood Sea City. Terrifying crimson waves soared up from the sea. A vague figure seemed to be hidden within the sea of blood.
Long Wanqing was trapped outside the sea of blood.
“Your Majesty, we have killed our way to this place. Only this city remains.”
“Your Majesty, we really managed to kill all the asuras in the Asura Path Secret Realm!”
“We killed all the asuras, leaving only this final city!”
Gao Xianzhi, Chen Tianshan, Meng Tai, Gu Qin, and the others had already killed to the point where their eyes were bloodshot. They all wished to charge in immediately and slaughter the entire Netherworld Blood Sea City. An intense desire seemed to urge them on.
Gu Hai was the one who had killed the most over the past few years. He fought at the very front and had long established boundless prestige. No one dared to charge in without his order.
The Unborn Man’s expression changed as he called out, “Wanqing! Wanqing is there! Gu Hai, I want to save Wanqing!”
Gu Hai also saw Long Wanqing above Netherworld Blood Sea City.
At this moment, Long Wanqing saw Gu Hai’s army. When she saw Gu Hai, her face lit up with joy. However, she then revealed a fl.u.s.tered expression. “Quickly leave! Quickly leave!”
Long Wanqing looked at Gu Hai’s army in horror.
Whoos.h.!.+
Crimson water covered Long Wanqing’s mouth, preventing her from moving or speaking.
Many asuras in Netherworld Blood Sea City looked at the distant Han Nation Demon Army in horror.
This Han Nation Demon Army slaughtered the entire Asura Path Secret Realm. Now, they are coming to kill me?
The asura kings were aghast, occasionally glancing at the black river in the city.
Hasn’t Ancestor Ming He been waiting for Gu Hai? Gu Hai is here now. Gu Hai is here. Should we attack?
“Gu Hai, you finally arrived. Are you here to rescue the Wood Asura?” A powerful voice suddenly rang out from the distant sea of blood.
“Ancestor!” Countless asuras in the city saluted.
This was Ming He’s voice.
The Unborn Man felt increasingly anxious.
The Gu Hais’ eyes turned bloodshot, radiating murderous intent.
However, when the Gu Hais heard Ming He’s challenge, they gritted their teeth and ordered, “Retreat!”
“What? Retreat? Gu Hai, this is the final spurt. Why are you retreating? Don’t you want to save Wanqing?” an Unborn Man exclaimed.
A Gu Hai turned to glare ferociously at that Unborn Man. “We said retreat!”
“You!” The Unborn Man glared back in anger.
However, that Gu Hai’s ferocious gaze seemed to suppress the Unborn Man, not giving him a chance to refuse. The Unborn Man wanted to say something in response, but he swallowed his words every time he tried.
Rumble…!
The Han Nation Demon Army retreated under Gu Hai’s command.
“Gu Hai, are you trying to flee? Don’t you want to save the Wood Asura? Do you believe that I will kill the Wood Asura now?” Ming He’s furious voice rang out.
“Ming He, we will rest for ten days first. We will come soon. If Wanqing dies, we will leave and never return. We will have a final showdown after ten days!” Gu Hai suddenly shouted.
“How audacious! It has always been other people waiting for me, never others making me wait. How dare you leave?!” Ming He’s voice rang out.
However, Gu Hai had made up his mind. He did not care about Ming He; he did not even dare glance at Long Wanqing lest Ming He kill her in a rage.
Rumble…!
The two hundred million soldiers withdrew to the Slaughter Divine Palace.
Countless asuras in Netherworld Blood Sea City showed confused expressions. Is the Han Nation Demon Army afraid?
Regardless of what the asuras thought, Gu Hai still brought everyone away from the Asura Path Secret Realm, returning to Borderless Heavenly Capital.
Buzz!
Everyone returned, and the spiritual souls returned to their respective bodies. Then, the many soldiers immediately started reciting the Cla.s.sic of the Dao and Virtue and quickly absorbed the Spiritual Energy from the surrounding spirit stones.
The eight billion superior-grade spirit stones looked like they would soon run out.
“Gu Hai, why? Wanqing was only one step away!” the Unborn Man said anxiously.
“It is one step away, but worlds apart. To rescue Wanqing, we needed to return first,” Gu Hai said coldly.
“Humph!” the Unborn Man snorted coldly.
