Chapter 386: Chapter 27: Zhong Ming: You Are Already Dead

The Quanrong Barbarian Ghosts were a different story.

Staring at the approaching Shen Wanshang and Ji Qingyue, the elite Barbarian Ghosts who had followed—whether out of genuine lust or some other scheme—began to leer at the two women. Some even whistled.

One of them even grinned at the Silver Moon King, Shen Jiuyuan, and a scholar-like Patrol Envoy seated in the main positions and said, "These beauties aren’t bad. If you don’t want to part with your resources, you can just send these women over for a marriage alliance."

Another Barbarian Ghost openly provoked Zhong Ming’s group.

"Hey, you girls over there! What’s so great about those delicate little things? If you’re looking for a real man, you should be looking for fine fellows like us! Hahaha..."

CRACK!

Such words made Shen Wanshang, Ji Yao, Ji Hao, and Ji Qingyue’s expressions all turn grim.

However, wary of the formal setting and the presence of Golden Core Daoists, Ji Hao and the direct descendants of Immortal Martial City’s three great families, though their faces were dark, merely unleashed their Magical Power without immediately attacking.

But while they endured it, Zhong Ming did not.

Having established a Sword Heart of "Heaven and Earth, Only I am Supreme," he would never allow himself to be wronged, much less back down.

Besides, he had been wondering how to intervene and provoke a war between the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty and the Quanrong Barbarian Ghosts.

Now, the arrogant Barbarian Ghosts had given Zhong Ming the perfect opportunity to act.

...

"Hahaha! A bunch of soft young masters who’ve never seen a battlefield! Are you really willing to fight us to the death for a group of nobodies?"

As Ji Hao and the others unleashed their Magical Power, the Quanrong Barbarian Ghosts across from them did the same.

Undeniably, compared to the auras of Ji Hao’s group, the opposition’s radiated a killing intent—a grim and chilling presence.

This was why, despite their greater numbers, Ji Hao’s group failed to overpower the enemy in sheer presence. In fact, many of them were struck by that killing intent and their faces turned deathly pale.

Seeing this, the Quanrong Barbarian Ghosts’ demeanor grew even more rampant, their expressions increasingly ferocious:

"War means death! If you go to war with us, every single one of you will die!!!"

The chilling words, the terrifying killing intent, and the extraordinary power bestowed by the Demon God—all erupting from the Quanrong Barbarian Ghosts at once—truly made Ji Hao and his companions feel as if they were staring death in the face.

"GULP..."

Just as their presence was being suppressed, and the expressions of the Silver Moon King, the Celestial Sea King, and the others turned exceedingly grim, a voice suddenly rang out inside the tent.

"You’re right. People die when they are killed, and war kills even more."

"But you shouldn’t have provoked me."

"If you hadn’t angered me, you might have lived a few more days. But now, you will all die here!"

The sudden, emotionless voice made all the Quanrong Barbarian Ghosts turn to look at Zhong Ming in unison.

But upon seeing Zhong Ming clearly and hearing his declaration-like words, the Barbarian Ghosts, far from being afraid, burst into laughter.

A tall Barbarian Ghost with a wolf-head tattoo stepped forward, stared straight into Zhong Ming’s eyes, and said with a savage grin, "I’ll die? Hahaha! I’m standing right here. Let’s see you try to kill me!"

"You can kill me? Who would dare kill..."

BANG!

Before he could finish his arrogant words, the greedy yet vivid light in the Barbarian Ghost’s eyes vanished without a trace.

The next moment, his Divine Soul annihilated, his knees gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.

"???"

No one else in the tent had even processed the wolf-headed Barbarian Ghost’s sudden death.

They never thought someone would actually dare to attack here, much less that Zhong Ming’s move would be so tyrannical, so terrifying.

The Barbarian Ghosts hadn’t even seen how their wolf-headed comrade had died.

"Bastard!"

"How dare you!"

"I’ll kill you..."

"Stop!"

The death of their kinsman sent the Quanrong Barbarian Ghosts into an uproar. Many of them, eyes bloodshot, stared daggers at Zhong Ming, wanting him to pay with his life.

Then, BANG! BANG! BANG! ... The moment they met Zhong Ming’s gaze, the elite Barbarian Ghosts fell one after another, like wheat cut down by a scythe.

In the blink of an eye, a huge swathe of the elite Barbarian Ghosts in the envoy delegation was dead.

This finally forced the leader of their delegation to act. BOOM! The aura of a Golden Core expert suddenly erupted from his body.

"You piece of filth, I’ll..."

BOOM! BOOM!

However, the instant his aura flared, the Celestial Sea King, the Silver Moon King, Prince Qinghe, Prince Qinglin, and even Luo Zhiwei all unleashed their own Magical Power, stepping in front of Zhong Ming. Their collective stance was clear: ’If you dare to touch Zhong Ming, we will kill you.’

"..."

This scene left the Barbarian Ghost envoy speechless and utterly baffled.

He couldn’t understand why the Celestial Sea King and the families of Immortal Martial City, who had initially seemed hesitant and even unwilling to fight, would react so fiercely after Zhong Ming made his move.

He wasn’t the only one who didn’t understand; the Silver Moon King was just as perplexed.

Previously, only he had been a firm advocate for war. Although the Celestial Sea King had stood by his side and displayed a powerful presence, his will to fight wasn’t necessarily strong—after all, this place was still some distance from his own territory, so he didn’t feel the threat as personally.

It was precisely because they sensed that many in the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty did not want to fight that the Quanrong Barbarian Race had been so arrogant.

They had hoped to use their fearless, death-defying attitude to make the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty back down, and to seize some extra benefits in the process.

But just as their plan was proceeding perfectly, Zhong Ming’s intervention changed everything.

’Why? Why would they place so much importance on a mere Cultivator who has only just begun Cultivating Evil?!’
