nTaking out the firstborn was a surefire way to ascend the throne.

nOnce I help Nu Xiao’s rise, I’ll gain a lot of power.

nChen Ming said in anger, “You’re the criminals!”

n

n

nGu Tu took a deep breath, knowing this matter just got harder. How come a foxkin khan showed up just as we were about to kill him?

nThis place is too close to the cultivator world and hardly has any barbarians!

nGu Tu said, “Per our barbarian’s rules, face extermination! I am Chief Bai Gu’s son, Gu Tu, and I shall declare you exterminated!”

nNu Xiao couldn’t grasp any clues from looking at Chen Ming, I don’t know how strong he is, but a normal foxkin khan is never too powerful. “You’re no khan, just a mere chief. You have no right to do this!”

n

n

nChen Ming had an inkling to this extermination thing thanks to the Beast King Records. It was a type of duel which happened when barbarians who couldn’t settle their conflicts on something declared extermination. The parties would fight until only one survived.

nAnd the winner got to continue his original plan, without the interference of others.

nIn other words, if Gu Tu won, Chen Ming’s disciples could do nothing as he killed Nu Xiao!

nThis was the barbarians’ sacred battle. Their belief lied in the warrior’s code. Any who dared stain the honor of extermination would be forever despised by the barbarians.

n

n

nOf course, just as Nu Xiao said, Chen Ming could refuse. The other’s status was too low, not enough to challenge.

n“Ding! You triggered an A-ranked storyline mission, Extermination. Objective: behead Gu Tu. Reward: 0.1 billion spiritual knowledge, 10,000 fame, 10,000 barbarian warriors, a Sky Whale.”

nWow, a mission’s here! I get the Sky Whale, but what’s the deal with the warriors?

nChen Ming spied his challenger:

n‘Danger value: 64090

nAuras:

n

n

nBeast Lord Aura

nDescription: he grew up among savage beasts.

nEffect: has a certain degree of control on immortal beasts.

nBeast Blood Aura

nDescription: beast blood flows through his veins.

nEffect: hardship cultivation’s power increased by 10%.

nSavage Lion Aura lvl. 3

nDescription: You believe in the path of the beast.

n

n

nEffect: can go berserk in battle, doubling your strength.

n…’

nThe rest were something any common Celestial Immortal out there had, nothing of importance.

nThe best was that Savage Lion Aura, the reason for his current power.

nChen Ming checked his newest addition to his auras:

n‘Decree of Untold Daos Aura lvl. 1

nDescription: divinity radiates on the hundred veins, the furnace raises the thousand meridians, spirit pierces the blue sky, the untold Daos live within me!

nEffect: Strip!

nNote: you can strip one of his auras. The strip’s time is based on the aura’s level. If the target is of the same level, you can use it once a day. Only once a day you can activate it.’

nThis note is a bit on the odd side. It keeps saying I can only use it once a day.

nLet’s give it a test run first.

nChen Ming walked with a smile, “I accept your challenge!”

nNu Xiao could no longer intervene. The sacred extermination was about to unfold!

n

n

nNu Xiao said, “Form a circle!”

nThe barbarians made a ring around Chen Ming and Ge Tu, weapons aimed inward. As long as more than one man stood, they were forbidden from leaving the ring.

nIf any dared to flee, they’d be put to death by all of them.

nThis was the sacred duel of barbarians, and no one had the right to meddle.

nGe Tu leaped from the Sky Whale into the ring with his saw greatsword at the ready, his eyes never leaving Chen Ming.

nThey locked eyes and sparks seemed to fly.

nGu Tu drummed his chest.

nThe barbarian warriors around began to howl and shout like savage beasts, singing the call of the wild.

nThe mellow tune, the bold and raging shouts scattered the clouds.

nChen Ming took all of this in, Barbarians rule through hoards of beasts. The moron who came up with this dumbass idea of extermination must have been lacking in the herding department.

nIn the end, a duel’s a duel!

nNu Xiao was filled with anxiety. I never heard of a foxkin extermination!

nFoxkin were commonly seen as High Priests among barbarians. Their skills in raising beasts were quite good, and as for battle prowess, ha-ha.

nBut then he caught wind of Li Suyi and Zhang Ming’s words, “Third senior brother, how long do you think it’ll take for Master to win?”

nLi Suyi replied, “One move ought to be enough. Master has come to like insta-killing enemies with one strike of a blade.”

n“Let’s watch then.”

nNu Xiao glared at the two, Just how crass can you be to think this battle will end in one stroke?

nGu Tu took that moment to howl. The veins on his body wiggled like snakes and his stature began to shift. Lust for battle consumed his eyes as if the call of the wild awoke something primal inside his blood.

nHis arm exploded in size, just like how bellows sucked in air.

nChen Ming examined him. Is this the Savage Lion Aura in effect?

nThis is the best aura in his arsenal. If I strip it, he’ll be nothing more than an above-average footsoldier!

nZhang Ming surmised, “Third senior brother, he does have some skill.”

nLi Suyi concluded, “By the looks of it. Three hits then?”

nIn Nu Xiao’s heart, Weren’t you foxkin smart? Did these guys lose their marbles?

nA foxkin extermination, ha-ha.

nChen Ming activated Decree of Untold Daos Aura, an aura with the words of law power. This meant he needed to speak to be in effect, “You want to hunt down your khan, then you aren’t loyal. You want to gang up on the few, thus straying from the warrior’s code. By my name, Thousand-faced Fox, I strip you of your warrior’s honor. You, Gu Tu, are no warrior! Savage Lion Aura, strip!”

nDecree of Untold Daos Aura activated with each passing sentence. Thunder rolled in Gu Tu’s ears and his body began to weaken. This was the side effect of going berserk.

nAs the berserk effect wore off, feebleness set in along with withering of the body.

nThis outcome was never among Ge Tu’s predictions, “What’s happening? I can’t go berserk… Did I really go against the warrior path?”

nChen Ming watched the Untold Daos take effect. Not in vain had our dear Immortal Master Chen toiled to no end in an effort to gain this aura.

nVery strong!

nSimply worthy of someone who has limitless in their repertoire of abilities to have such a powerful aura!

nNu Xiao was stunned, Does this foxkin khan also believes in the warrior’s code?

n
