Pissed, the experts of the Eastern Alliance used all sorts of techniques to inflict more damage on the blood Demon king, with the blood littered on the ground and pieces of his flesh around together with his maniacal smile it made a gory sight.
Fear crept through their hearts as they watched the Demon king's smile even as they continued to inflicted injuries on him.
Then for the first time since centuries he had been sealed the demon king moved!
Standing from the kneeling position he was bound to.
In response the whole Qingmeng Mountain shock as the demon sealing formation pulled it's huge chains in attempt to bring the demon king back to his kneeling position.
Angry at the formation trying to push him down, thick demon qi erupted from him as he resisted the pressure from the demon sealing formation and difficulty, hardly but standing he spoke, " I understand your defiance , when the King descend and attempted to subjugate this world ".
Above the Qingmeng Mountain, the massive blood cloud shook , " After all even ants would fight back after being cornered".
The Demon sealing formation kept pulling it's chains, angry at it's repeated antics he roared towards the sky.
The entire Qingmeng Mountain shock as he roared," But how dare you , how dare you , how dare you vermins make this king kneel ! ".
Grabbing the huge chains that bound him to the Qingmeng Mountain he pulled it , his muscles bulged as he took a step forward.
The Alliance experts kept unleashing their strengths to inflict damage on him yet he still had the same wicked grin on his face and grabbing the massive chains that bound him he crept forward slowly.
After about ten steps he stopped with a frown appearing his face, looking at the vermins in his front he said " soon ! " and closed his eyes, this was the limit he could go, for now .
And unlike before he wasn't kneeling again.
The Experts sighed in relief, it looked like the Sealing formation could still kept him at bay for a while.
.....
Zhan Shenwei swept his broad Sword, slashing the demon beast in his front of him into two a frown appearing on his face.
he had killed lots of beast like this in the past few days.
Not just him , the rest of the alliance experts under the leadership of the three remaining experts had hunted thousands of this beast , yet they still numbered more.
The demon king was very powerful, under his demonic influence even ordinary docile weak wild animals now possessed wild strength and viciousness.
Naturally they weren't opponents for most cultivators , they weren't even proper demonic beasts yet their massive numbers and blant disregard for their lifes when fighting proved to be an issue.
In just few days although they had killed thousands, hundreds of cultivators had also fallen, it was a gory site.
Sighing, he used a wet clothe to wipe the blood on his face as he continued killing.
At first he was using too much strength when dealing with these beasts but now he only used necessary force.
Control was also as important as strength as it guided against wastage of energy and preserved his stamina, unlike cultivation battle made him more attuned to his body and strength and improved his control.
Using his so called " innate physical strength" he had killed a large number of beasts, unlike qi cultivators who had to rest and replenish the energy after a while , Zhan Shenwei could kill for longer without getting tired.
Restrained by the limit of himself he could show outside and with body cultivation more suited to close combat battles, Zhan Shenwei could only battle these beasts one by one while Qi cultivators could unleash spells that decimated them in large numbers.
Whereas his own qi cultivation wasn't enough to do much, he had just started and didn't have much of a foundation in it, neither did he know spells.
Yet what he lacked in efficiency, he made in endurance, he was always killing and while others switched turns and rested they came back to meet him.
That didn't mean his kills were the highest, although the most powerful experts had left for the Qingmeng Mountain and apart from the three main experts left. some relatively powerful experts still lingered among their ranks.
Even among his peers or the general younger generation his kills and battle display was only average.
After all the Eastern region was vast , all sorts of clans , smaller sects and rogue cultivators and geniuses and even members of the four main sects and the imperial army were amongst their midst.
These people's few minutes of killing equalled hours of his , some equalled days.
Even Yunzi was very powerful, Zhan Shenwei felt without using his true strength, she could beat his so called innate physical strength five times or more over.
After a while when the sun was setting, Zhan Shenwei took a large sled from his storage ring and pilled a large amount of beast corpse on it.
Feeling the usually amusement on the people around, Zhan Shenwei sighed, every time he did this people always looked at him wondering why but he had no choice.
Unlike them he really had use for this beast carcasses.
his body requirements was massive and he ate a lot , he needed a lot of resources or food.
Apart from eating and preserving, he also planned to use the rest to make vital pills.
Well his own version of it , after complaining to Yunzi about how embarrassing it was eating everytime , she had taught him how to make vital pills.
Although it sounded fancy it was very rudimentary.
The vital pill simply congealed the vital essense contained in beast meat, it wasn't a complicated pill recipe neither did it have any other effect, but this basic was far useful for him.
Vital essence was what he devoured.
Using the pill recipe he could congeal the vital essence contained in the beast meat into small pills and although there was a lot of wastage in the effeciciency of the pill recipe it was feasible for him.
There was always a lot of beast meat, in fact with the pills of beast carcasses after every day of battle and every one having an excess of meat, it wasn't so popular anymore.
Alas even with using fire stones as a source of heat and a cauldron, he could only make vital soup or broth.
Lacking in necessary amount of qi for basic alchemy, not quite versed or versed at all in it, or maybe possessing a proper spirit fire, this was the most he could do.
Zhan Shenwei had only opened 4 of his human meridians so the amount of spirit in his body was pitifully low, his control of spirit qi was even the worst.
he remembered practicing after she taught him, although Yunzi was a sweet , patient girl , she was clearly frustrated at his control , according to her even kids could control spirit qi better.
After trying for a while, he could only give give up and continue cooking his vital broth in shame.
Everyday , he would pile large amount of beast on his sled , go to his tent and cook in a large cauldron.
He kept the vital broth in big and small jars in his storage ring, the large was saved for later while the small was for drinking.
He couldn't eat while fighting but he could drink some soup except the his vital broth looked a bit bloody with junks of meat pieces and anytime he drank it when fighting, a bit would smear on his lips making him a bit scary.
Fight, fight, drink soup from a glass jar, fight, fight m, drink soup.
His usual antics had earned him a bit of reputation, he was even nicknamed " Wei taotie ".
He couldn't hide after all , he had to pack and he had to cook.
Even the people of the barren wastelands that people looked down on as barbarians quite looked down on him, well his gluttony.
Zhan Shenwei felt embarrassed after all although he looked huge and all was quite cool he was still a kid , in anger he could only practice his Qi cultivation in hope that he could one day make a proper vital pill.
Everyday apart from fighting and cooking he spent most of his time practicing Qi cultivation, although his talent was low Zhan Shenwei found out he could absorb qi better after exhausting his spirit qi making vital soup.
Of course not everybody liked his antics, he noticed Chen Hong the young master of the Chen clan looking at him strangely like he was taking something from him anytime he pulled out his sled.
Although he remembered him from the banquet, Zhan Shenwei couldn't understand why the usually calm Chen Hong always looked pissed especially when it was time to do his daily routine, looking at the large number of beast littered around, he had only taken a few hundreds out of thousands.
Pilling his huge sled higher than usual to spite Chen Hong, Zhan Shenwei pulled his sled and dragged it to his tent, although he couldn't eat it all , saving more wouldn't hurt, it wasn't his business how Chen Hong felt so why would he care.
Chen Hong grit his teeth in anger after seeing Zhan Shenwei pill up even more beast meat, he vowed to show him a lesson, what a gluttonous bastard.
On getting back , Zhan Shenwei saw Yunzi outside his tent.
Looking at Zhan Wei dragging a huge sled, Xia Yunzi blushed in embarrassment.
Zhan Shenwei felt what was probably going on in her mind was " look at my fiance! ".
The war was a bit depressing so most people looked for any source of entertainment to take their minds of it.
After the day one of their favorite past time was to talk about how many beast he pilled up today, or laugh anytime they saw him using his pitiful qi to make vital soup.
Zhan Shenwei was simply a local celebrity, although she was the one that taught him how to make vital pills and she knew he only switched to vital broth after trying to no avail, she still felt embarrassed.
Zhan Shenwei felt his eye twitch seeing the blushing Yunzi, even he felt embarrassed talk less his fiancee.
He didn't know if it was to tease him or out of spite , everyday the Empress would make Yunzi come take a few jars of vital broth claiming it was good for replenishing energy.
Yet he hadn't seen them replenish their energy on the battlefield, only he was infamous for drinking it.
Probably they ate theirs in their tent but this was the royal family they came to the war with a few chefs to handle their feeding, there was no need for his rugged broth.
Look at the blushing Yunzi and the fact they had to go through this everyday who wouldn't be embarrassed, at times he would look through his memories to find out when he had offended the Empress but he couldn't find any.
Even if she wanted to punish him she wouldn't also punish Yunzi so he could only conclude she was playing with them.
Zhan Shenwei sighed in his heart , " can't a person cook and eat in peace !, although he cooked and ate quite much more, it was still all a natural thing everyone did right?
