Bai Qi, the God of Killing?
Chen Yifei had naturally heard of the famous name Bai Qi. This name was renowned even in the entire history of human warfare.
But why did this token inscribed with the words "Bai Qi" fall from the Path of the War God?
And both the timing and location of its fall seemed as if... someone deliberately sent it into his hands.
Looking at the massive black sword piercing the heavens and earth, an idea suddenly flashed through Chen Yifei's mind... If the Ancient War Treasury was the "storage device" of human warfare, did it also contain data on certain famous generals?
Such as Bai Qi?
Chen Yifei carefully examined the token, hoping to find some more clues on it. Just then, a voice came from a distance.
"Strange, why did the Path of the War God disappear again?"
"Controlled by someone, of course, it disappeared... But judging from the position, that person should not have gone far."
"There's a ravine here! Inside are ten murderous aura projections. That person just gathered murderous aura here, attracting the Path of the War God."
Chen Yifei heard Yan Xicai's voice among them.
Gripping the Bai Qi token, his eyes narrowed as a thought quickly emerged in his mind.
Without hesitation, he tucked the token into his chest, tore off a layer of skin from his cheek, revealing a fake token that looked exactly like the Bai Qi token. He then lay motionless at the bottom of the ravine...
After Chen Yifei had slain his way through this ravine of ten, those ten murderous aura projections seemed to have been refreshed, firmly occupying the entrance of the ravine, while Yan Xicai and the others were blocked outside, tiptoeing to see what was happening inside.
"Is there anyone inside?" Yan Xicai asked.
"I don't know. These murderous aura projections are blocking the view."
"Then let's kill them all first."
"...Yan, there are ten murderous aura projections! We... we can't beat them..."
"Idiots! With Pu here, what are you afraid of? Attack!!" Yan Xicai was furious and kicked one of the enforcers directly into the ravine.
"It's that Qin army lackey! Kill him!!"
Without hesitation, the ten armored soldiers charged aggressively, wielding their spears.
Seeing this, Pu Wen had to take out another "immobilize" character, temporarily immobilizing the ten soldiers. The other enforcers, armed with swords and knives, followed suit, rushing in and quickly killing six of them.
A few seconds later, the remaining three soldiers broke free from the "immobilize" character and engaged in a fierce battle with several enforcers!
Faced with three living and moving soldiers, everyone was suddenly at a loss. They retreated continuously in the ravine and suddenly found themselves in a stalemate.
"Don't look at me... The 'immobilize' character can only take effect once on the same target in a short period. Now I can't help you either," Pu Wen said, shrugging his shoulders as he felt Yan Xicai's gaze.
"A group of idiots!" Yan Xicai cursed, "Whoever accumulates the most murderous aura today can choose any of the enforcement brigades at the headquarters of the Aurora Domain's enforcers when we return! But whoever accumulates the least, I'll revoke his position!"
Upon hearing this, all the enforcers were like they had been injected with stimulants, rushing crazily towards the three armored soldiers. Sharp spears slashed through their bodies, leaving several gruesome wounds.
However, under this relentless assault and overwhelming number, the three armored soldiers were eventually broken through and killed by the most aggressive enforcers.
The ten murderous auras were absorbed by everyone, and their eyes became brighter.
Even the crippled enforcer named Jian, after killing an armored soldier in the chaos, his aura significantly improved, the grayness in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a sense of confidence and strength he had never felt before...
Is this murderous aura?
Jian curiously looked at his hands. He kind of liked this feeling.
Seeing this scene, Yan Xicai's expression finally eased. He hurriedly walked into the ravine and looked deep into it.
"What's the situation? Is there anyone?"
"...Seems like there isn't," an enforcer walked forward a few steps and didn't see any figures.
"That guy who first obtained the Path of the War God should have already left..."
Clack——
A bloodstained token "conveniently" slid off a rock and fell before Yan Xicai.
"Hey, what's this?"
Yan Xicai noticed the bloodstained token. He bent down to pick it up, his eyes filled with confusion.
Pu Wen walked forward and saw the small seal script on the token, his face was startled!
"Bai Qi?!"
"Bai Qi? Who?"
"He's an ancient general in legends." Pu Wen's eyes were fixed on the token, filled with shock, "Most records about him were destroyed during the Great Catastrophe... But it is said that he was once known as the 'God of Killing'."
"God of Killing?" Hearing these two words, even Yan Xicai, who didn't understand history, was surprised. He quickly asked, "Could it be that he's still alive?"
"...Impossible."
Pu Wen shook his head, "The Ancient War Treasury is indeed the carrier of all wars and killings so far, but historical figures are still historical figures... Even if Bai Qi really appears, he can only be a projection of some killing from the Ancient War Treasury. It's impossible for him to revive from history."
Yan Xicai suddenly lost interest.
"So, is this thing fake?"
"No, this token has a strong aura of the Path of the War God... It shouldn't be fake," Pu Wen spoke somewhat uncertainly.
"Even if it's just a projection of killing, given Bai Qi's status, he should be the top-tier existence in this ancient treasury... His token appearing here might be the Path of the War God trying to convey some message to you?"
"The Path of the War God, conveying a message to me?" Yan Xicai held the token, stunned for a moment,
"You mean... it chose me?"
When saying the last few words, Yan Xicai's voice was trembling, and his eyes were filled with unprecedented excitement!
At this moment, all the displeasure in Yan Xicai's heart was swept away. You know, every year, so many people enter the Ancient War Treasury and step on the Path of the War God, but how many of them can be chosen by the Path of the War God and granted something?
If this thing is really as Pu Wen said, the value of this Bai Qi token is enough to outclass any other enforcer who entered the trial. Then even if he didn't step on the Path of the War God this time, after returning home, just with this token, he can shock all the elders in his family!
Being chosen by the Path of the War God, these words are even enough to outclass all other competitors of the Starry Sky Mercantile Guild's inheritors!
Hearing Yan Xicai's last sentence, Pu Wen was stunned.
He felt that Yan Xicai might have misunderstood his intention...
But seeing the other party's delighted and crazed expression, after hesitating for a moment, Pu Wen didn't say much.
"I knew it! I, Yan Xicai, have been unlucky for so long, there must be a day for me to turn things around! That usurper even said I was just a good-for-nothing with good luck from being reborn?! He knows nothing!!" Yan Xicai laughed heartily,
"The Bai Qi token! The Bai Qi token!! With this thing! Who in the Aurora City dares to look down on me?"
