Chapter 297: Chapter 298: The Giant Chapter 297: Chapter 298: The Giant “Bloody battle!”

Hearing Yuan Xiang address himself, Lin Qian responded, then said no more.

Yuan Xiang murmured the name of these knife-wielding soldiers to himself as he continued to watch them fight, clicking his tongue in amazement.

After a glance at Yuan Xiang beside him, Lin Qian shifted his gaze back to the bloody battle raging in front of him with the Swift Hidden Clan.

Despite Yuan Xiang’s apparent goodwill towards him, Lin Qian still couldn’t completely trust him. As long as Yuan Xiang kept something back, and before everything was crystal clear, Lin Qian wouldn’t tell him everything.

Turning his attention back to the clash between the bloody battle and the Swift Hidden Clan, and thinking of Yuan Xiang’s surprise, Lin Qian’s eyes showed a proud and arrogant expression.

The bloody battle was the advance type of the soldier class, an intermediate rank of the lower tier.

As the advancement of soldiers holding blades, the bloody battle still inherited the soldier’s strong offensive power, but now with an additional ability.

Bloodthirst!

In his previous life game, Bloodthirst was a powerful passive skill of the bloody battle. Compared to it, the power gained after advancing to bloody battle wasn’t as important.

After killing someone, the might of Bloodthirst would increase by one level; the bloody battle’s power would rise by twenty percent.

The power of Bloodthirst could stack up to five levels, which meant the bloody battle’s strength could potentially double, and they would get a further speed boost, more or less.

It was because of Bloodthirst that the advanced soldier class became the preferred choice for hard-fought battles; as long as they survived, they would grow stronger with each fight.

It was because of this very trait that Lin Qian could boast that his thousand men could take care of the more than ten thousand Swift Hidden Clan.

The Swift Hidden Clan gathered together couldn’t bring out their inherent agility; in front of the bloody battle, they were no different from meat on a chopping board.

It could be said that in front of the bloody battle, they were not a formidable alien race at the moment but merely meat awaiting slaughter.

However, when these more than ten thousand Swift Hidden Clan members were nearly all butchered, faint shouts of killing could be heard in the distance, yet not a single figure could be seen.

“Kid, their reinforcements are coming, and their numbers are not few!” At the same time, Yuan Xiang urgently shouted to Lin Qian.

“Of course, I know, senior!” said Lin Qian. He abruptly turned around, as Elemental Components and the Elemental Artifact Heart instantly appeared, melted into liquid metal, and formed into the Thunder Night Sword in his hand.

The crackling red-gold Thunder Soul Power instantly enveloped the sword blade, and the sound of a dragon’s roar echoed from within it.

With the red-gold light bursting forth, Lin Qian turned and pierced forward with his sword without hesitation.

Swish!

The sound of the sword piercing flesh rang out, and blood appeared out of thin air; a member of the Swift Hidden Clan suddenly materialized where there was once nothing, unable to control their breath any longer, and it ran rampant.

Just from this fierce aura, it was clear this member of the Swift Hidden Clan was no less formidable than those weak ones; they were powerful, only slightly inferior to talents on the level of Li Yunfeng and his peers.

“You of the Swift Hidden Clan are indeed skilled at killing unseen,” Lin Qian said, his eyes now a golden color, void of any mercy and full of disdain. He withdrew the Thunder Night Sword, twirled it, and slashed toward the ground, where drops of blood appeared.

“However, in order to avoid detection, you conceal your Soul Power within your body, which makes your defenses too vulnerable.”

As Lin Qian’s words fell, the bloody battle around them intensified, with each slash of the blade, traces of blood would appear.

“Do not hide your tracks, it’s useless!” The frail member of the Swift Hidden Clan realized the situation; Lin Qian and his companions could clearly see their otherwise invisible kin.

If that was the case, then the advantage of hiding their tracks was utterly nonexistent; instead, they completely lost their defense, and casualties became even more horrifying.

“Bai Qi, you really are useless.” At this moment, a dull voice sounded.

The frail Swift Hidden Clan member heard the voice and let out a sigh of relief, urgently shouting, “Wulian, come and help quickly, this invading Human Clan is very troublesome.”

At this time, Lin Qian also raised his head to look up into the sky.

Approaching from a distance to provide support were beings that looked tall with skin that shimmered as if it were made of stone.

“The Blue Stone Clan, a somewhat foolish but physically strong race. The stronger their physique, the more intense the blue hue becomes. However, because they are exceedingly suitable for the Invisible Clan to plunder bodies, they are mostly domesticated,” Yuan Xiang, standing beside Lin Qian, explained at that moment, “Kid, better leave quickly. Haven’t you noticed that more and more are coming? The Invisible Clan is here now.”

Looking at the appearance of the Blue Stone Clan, but in reality, a vast army of the Invisible Clan, Lin Qian’s expression turned ice-cold.

A fine race, just like that, was being domesticated by the Invisible Clan, their existence merely for body snatching.

In the hands of the Invisible Clan, the Blue Stone Clan had lost the dignity of an intelligent race, reduced to livestock.

Lin Qian could imagine that once the Small World fell into the hands of the Invisible Clan and the Swift Hidden Clan, through the use of the Small World’s portals to attack the Human Clan, the conquered Human Clan would end up no different from the Blue Stone Clan.

The fate of the Human Clan in the Origin State might very well be repeated.

“Senior, there’s no need to persuade me; I won’t leave!” Lin Qian said, his eyes resolute as he turned to Yuan Xiang.

Yuan Xiang sighed, knowing he probably couldn’t convince Lin Qian, and couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”

“I want this Small World to be my private territory completely; therefore, no outsiders can exist here, especially not other races!”

“Moreover, you should also know what kind of impact it would have on our Human Clan if they captured this Small World.”

“I am not some hero. My most fundamental purpose is for this Small World. However, since I have the ability to protect the Human Clan, taking action is not out of the question.”

“After all, I too am of the Human Clan, my heart is not a cold stone; it’s beating with fervor, and I refuse to let the Human Clan be enslaved by other races like livestock!”

Yuan Xiang stared blankly at Lin Qian in front of him, shaking his head after a long while, “But can you do it?”

“Yes, I believe in my Empire,” Lin Qian said, turning around to leave Yuan Xiang with his back, “My Empire has never let me down!”

“Its name is Huaxia!”

Hearing the words of the other party, Yuan Xiang fell silent, no longer speaking, merely readying himself to burn his branded body at any moment.

After a while, Yuan Xiang sensed the situation on his true self’s side, his face revealing a smile: “Big Brother would be proud too, for such a kid.”

Watching Lin Qian’s retreating back, Yuan Xiang murmured, “But Big Brother is probably right, you, kid, will ultimately become a giant.”
