QinShi walked out of the hall. On a flat square in front of the hall, Dafu was already waiting with a team of soldiers leading fierce beasts.
"Let's go." QinShi said simply.
Dafu took the lead, QinShi was in the middle, and a team of imperial guards wearing shiny armor and riding fierce beasts meandered out of the castle gate.
The fierce beasts under the emperor's guards were all seeming very excited for this hunter.
Dafu looked a little serious. But at the corners of his eyes there is inevitably a little happy expression. This is more like a roundup than a battle for him. After all, over the past few years, most of the demonic beasts have been eliminated, one or two demonic beasts can't be any problem.
QinShi, on the other hand, was calm on his mount. Mom had prepared a few cooked bacon legs for him, as well as a bag of fine wine. The brewmaster in the castle is a southern men, and the wine made has a unique flavor which is QinShi's favorite.
QinShi's calmness far exceeded that of his peers, and it seemed like it shouldn't be at his age.
But at this moment, under his calm expression, he was thinking not about what kind of demonic beast he might encounter soon. He was thinging about the battle of Beichuan.
The battle of Beichuan, that was a battle that had him walking on the edge of death!
He doesn't often think about that battle, but recently in his mind, he was vaguely recalling some details of that battle.
In that battle, QinShi and his vanguard regiment were ambushed by the most elite giant beasts regiment of the barbarians.
Hundreds of giant beasts surrounded them, on the largest, most rampant giant beasts was the king of the barbarian race.
The vanguard regiment's beasts and the barbarians of the giant beasts simply can not be incomparable.
The vanguard regiment's beasts basically did not dare to move in front of hundreds of giant beasts. The vanguard regiment was also filled with elite imperial guards. But one by one they fell helplessly under the sharp claws of the giant beasts and the huge axes and long blades of the barbarian soldiers.
QinShi did his best to cut down several giant beasts, but his ride was also easily torn into pieces by a giant beasts, and he fell to the ground, covered with wounds. Then, a giant beasts threw him up high. He saw the king of the barbarians laughing and pulling out a spear. The spear's tip was black and shiny, obviously tainted with poison.
The barbarian king threw the spear hard at him in the air, and the barbarian soldiers all shouted wildly to the sky.
This is the barbarians' way of boosting morale and striking their opponents. Pinning the opponent's general to a cliff or high up in a tree to strike the enemy's morale.
The barbarian king's spear was unbelievably accurate and passed through the center of QinShi's chest in an instant.
Below the battlefield, the barbarian king was also slashing his long blade and shouting loudly.
Wiping out the Imperial vanguard in the first battle, the victory made the Barbarian King believe that his Giant Beasts Corps was indestructible.
But suddenly, the barbarian king saw that the young general who was supposed to be nailed high up on the cliff was not, but was instead stopped motionless in the air.
QinShi felt for a moment then that he might be dead, the unbearable pain had disappeared and he feld numb. He felt every ounce of power flowing away from his fingers and toes.
But just as he felt all the power was gone, a force he could not control unexpectedly came out of his heart. Then his hand moved on its own, grasping the spear that pierced his chest.
The spear had pierced his armor, shattered his bones, and penetrated his body, but now he actually pulled it out of his chest a little bit, and he did not suffer any pain.
With a shake of his hand, the spear turned into a dark light and brushed through the head of a giant beast on the ground.
The giant beast swayed and fell heavily to the ground, its huge corpse collapsing among the carcasses all over the ground.
A giant beast was killed!
Generals all will die in hundreds battles, and the hero's corpse should be wrapped in his horse bag!
If this is the homecoming, QinShi know it and actually has no regrets.
But he saw that spear flash like black lightning! And that giant beast was instantly killed.
If this was the only chance for victory, why did he reject it? This would have been the goal he would give his life to achieve!
He gave himself up and let that raging force take full control of him! And he didn't remember what happened after that!

The barbarian king looked at QinShi who was floating in the air. This young Northern general, who should have die, but now, instead, was standing quietly in the air. The body shining with red light, and a pair of huge red feathered wings that allowed him to hover in the air.
The red feathers are not real, it was formed by the red aura emanating from the body!
He was originally a vulnerable young general that the barbarian king thought. But now the barbarian king had a vague feeling in his heart that himself was in a world of trouble!
It was nothing to kill a giant beast with a hand. It was not a very strong giant beast, even the barbarian king was confident that he himself could barely do it.
And what did those red feathered wings represent?
"The yao!" One of the soldiers under the barbarian king shouted.
At that moment, QinShi raised his head, and despite the red aura wrapped around his body, his eyes were pitch-black, as dark as a bottomless abyss.
The southern barbarians had always heard that the Northern Emperor had some very strange magic arts. But QinShi did not give them time to hesitate. A red light rushed towards the giant beast army from the air like an arrow.
"Throw the spears." The barbarian king shouted, already drawing out another black spear in his hand.
More than a hundred ebony light with sharp whistles hurriedly met a mass of sprinting red light in the sky.
Now the barbarian king had some unsettling sense of the future!
QinShi didn't stop, just vibrated his red feathers. Countless spears fell from the sky, but although a few still passed through the gaps and cut through his body. He no longer felt any pain, or no feeling at all!
Fighting, this was the only thing he was thinking about now!
Suddenly, to the surprise of all the southern barbarian soldiers, QinShi changed the direction of his sprint and killed a giant beast from the side.
Immediately, amidst countless loud shouts, a dozen blades greeted him at various parts of his body. But before the blades could fall, QinShi seized a long sword. The harsh light of the sword fell, and QinShi has split a barbarian warrior down the ride!
Giant beasts was more trouble than those southern barbarian soldiers.
Giant teeth and sharp claws, long tail, thick head, hard forehead horns, natural hunting instincts, make these giant beasts are born to be killing machines.
At this point, QinShi thrust his long sword deep into the head of a giant beast, but a giant beast's sharp claws also left a bloody scar on his body.
He did not have time to pull out the long sword, quickly dodged to the other side, pulled out a spear by hand from a death giant beast's backpack.
This was the beginning of the real battle to the death!
The soldiers of the Giant Beast Regiment and the giant beast were all red-eyed, constantly changing their positions to surround the red light in the middle. But every time they met with the red light, a barbarian soldier or a giant beast fell down.
The battlefield was instantly filled with blood, both from the barbarian, giant beast and QinShi. But it seemed that no matter how much blood was shed, the red figure seemed to remain as firm as a rock and as swift as lightning.
The barbarian king swung his long blade and charged!
Almost a hundred giant beasts and warriors had been killed, and now that red figure was rushing towards him.
But he didn't flinch, his blade had been the fastest, his giant beast had been the most vicious, and he could slew a beast in half with one slash.
He always believed he would win!
As QinShi charged towards him, he did not hesitate to charge towards him as well.
"Kill!" The barbarian soldiers around the king were inspired by the barbarian king and surrounded them in a group.
Dozens of long swords, sharp spears, huge axes and heavy hammers surrounded the space, and the huge claws of the giant beasts' sharp claws were everywhere.
A lightning bolt struck over the battlefield, tearing open a gap in the thick dark clouds. But no one can distinguish between lightning or blade-light.
The barbarian king saw QinShi's figure clearly in this instant.
The dark eyes revealed a dignity that looked down on all things, and the handsome face was shrouded in a wild and unrestrained look.
The snowy blade light split the red figure in the middle, the barbarian king's heart was happy, but instantly felt empty. Residual image!
He desperately wanted to turn back!
But a snowy blade light slashed down from behind, splitting him in half along with his giant beast!
"Kill!"
A few barbarian soldiers who were close to madness rushed towards QinShi, but more barbarian soldiers began to look fearful and started to retreat backwards.
"The yao!"
"The War God!"
They shouted frantically as they retreated, they finally lost the courage to fight completely!
QinShi didn't go after them, he only wanted battle, but wasn't interested in the battle losing courage!
At that moment, the sound of heavy drums came from the edge of the battlefield, and dozens of heavy arrows shot several barbarian soldiers into sieves!
The Northern Emperor's army had finally arrived!
All eyes on the vast battlefield could only see a man covered in blood, standing on the back of a huge giant beast, and beside that man lay a tall man, the barbarian king!
The war drums continued to sound, countless imperial guards riding demon beasts like an unstoppable wave rushed towards the retreating army of the barbarians, while QinShi's silhouette also disappeared in the wave.
-
Details of that battle slowly flowed through QinShi's mind. As the raging power was dominating his body, there had been a warm current coming out of his chest, guiding him! Calling to him!
After that battle, when he woke up from his eventual coma, there was a small red bird lying on his chest, also sleeping, and the wound on his body seemed to have never existed, not a trace of it could be seen.
QinShi touched his heart. There was a red stone there in the heart, the same stone he held in both hands when he was born.
