Crimson Feather Army Camp.

After the bloodbath by Lin Sheng's Thunder methods, the military camp had a completely new look at this time.

The lazy appearance of a few days ago is no longer visible. The remaining soldiers are majestic and strong, with a chilling air on their bodies. They are obviously elite soldiers.

Today, the more than a thousand people left in the Crimson Feather Army are all the original team members before the expansion.

Naturally, they, the old men, were quite resistant to the previous wanton expansion. Now, after being unreasonably reformed by the new leader, these veterans feel quite happy.

After all, their original salary had been taken away a lot by these expanded recruits, and in the past two years, there have been signs of less and less.

The military tent in the center of the military camp.

Two Divine Form generals were guarding the door, prohibiting anyone from approaching.

In the camp, Lin Sheng was sitting cross-legged in the middle.

His upper body was bare, revealing a sculpture-like outline of his body, but at this moment, the exposed skin was covered with spiderweb-like black lines.

If you look carefully, you can see several black diamond-shaped marks on its back slowly moving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, it converged into the pattern of a black six-pointed star, but the black lines in the center of the six-pointed star surged and entangled, forming a terrifying face that looked like a ghost face, which looked extremely weird.

The next moment, the black lines on Lin Sheng's body spread out like ink.

A thick mist spread outwards, and as the mist leaked, it was followed by a strange and extremely cold atmosphere.

In just an instant, the two accompanying generals guarding outside the camp felt something unusual.

The two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. They quickly looked towards the tent behind them.

Although they couldn't see the scene clearly through the tent, they could clearly feel the vast, sea-like, but strange and inexplicable aura emanating from it.

"What's going on?"

The two of them were shocked and confused, but they also understood that Lin Sheng was practicing at Secluded Cultivation. In this case, there might be something wrong with the practice.

The next person immediately left in a hurry and informed Meng Lie.

The other person had a bit of hesitation on his face. After all, he was still worried about Lin Sheng's safety. He planned to open the tent door and go in to see what was going on. If Lin Sheng really went wrong in his practice, he might as well start rescue work immediately.

But as soon as he put his palm into the tent door, a cold chill that made his heart tremble had already spread from his palm.

He subconsciously withdrew his hand and took a few steps back. Looking at his unconscious fingers, he was shocked.

His body-protecting Qi actually had no effect at all.

At that moment, he gave up his plan to go in and see what was going on.

At this moment, his eyes widened, because at this moment, streams of extremely thick black mist had drifted out of the camp.

He felt the cold aura from the black mist and immediately retreated to avoid being contaminated by the black mist. At the same time, he ordered the surrounding soldiers to disperse.

Not long after, Meng Lie came in a hurry.

When he saw the thick black mist emanating from outside the camp, his expression also changed.

"Boss, what should I do? Something seems to have happened to the leader."

The general quickly approached and spoke.

"Get out of the way first and leave it to me to handle it."

Meng Lie stared at the black mist for a while, then said in a deep voice.

Lin Sheng Secluded Cultivation a few days ago, he had been informed that some strange phenomena might occur.

So even though the surging black mist didn't look like a good thing, he didn't choose to rush in and disturb it.

Soon half a day passed, and the black mist emanating from the camp spread hundreds of meters outward.

Standing outside the dark room looking at the increasing fog, I couldn't help but feel a drum in my heart.

As the leader of the royal family Imperial Guard, his vision is naturally extremely high.

But at this moment, I couldn't help but feel confused.

"General, what on earth is he practicing? Why is there such a big movement?"

This black mist is quite strange, and my body protection Gang Force actually has little effect.

The extremely uncomfortable cold feeling directly affects the body and mind.

When the strength is useless, the only choice is to bear it with the physical body.

He also tried to touch the black mist just now, but even with his Divine Form peak body, he could only last for ten breaths at most.

So what will happen to Lin Sheng, which has been located in the center of the black fog?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The main purpose of his trip was to protect Lin Sheng's safety.

If something happened to Lin Sheng, there was absolutely no way he could explain it to His Majesty.

Just when Meng Lie was in a panic, Lin Sheng's eyes suddenly opened in the tent.

The eyes were shining brightly, and the dark eyes were like two black holes.

Quickly suck the surrounding black mist into it.

But after a while, the black fog that spread out had completely disappeared, leaving only the sticky fog like a black ocean inside the tent.

The mist was swallowed into the mouth by the grimace behind Lin Sheng at a speed visible to the naked eye.

By the time of tea, all the black fog had disappeared, and the camp returned to its original appearance.

Lin Sheng's eyes flashed brightly, then disappeared immediately.

"Divine Form It's done!"

He exhaled heavily, with a cheerful smile on his face.

After five days of practice, he had almost refined all the Demon Resonance accumulated in the second Demonic Resonance Tide, and finally he passed the threshold.

Feeling the unprecedented fullness in the body, Lin Sheng immediately activated Attribute Panel.

[Lin Sheng]

[Realm: Divine Form]

[Strength: 25] [Constitution: 25] [Agility: 22] [Perception: 16] [Spirit: 8]

[Talent: Dragon Elephant Power]

[Talent: Sea Sacrifice Demonic Blood]

Seeing the brand-new attributes on the panel, Lin Sheng took a deep breath.

This improvement can be said to be completely beyond his imagination.

Two points of strength, two points of constitution, two points of agility, two points of perception, and one point of spirit, a total of nine points of huge improvement in attributes.

In particular, the physical fitness and strength attributes have been improved most obviously, reaching an unprecedented 25 points.

"As expected of Profound Technique, no wonder it took so much Demon Resonance to break through."

Lin Sheng sighed in his heart. He was not as happy as he originally expected, but instead felt extremely calm.

Stepping into Divine Form realm, he is considered among the masters in this world.

Feeling the skyrocketing attributes in his body, Lin Sheng stood up and stretched his body.

"I wonder how far apart there is between me and Third Realm Grandmaster now?"

This thought flashed through his mind. Before the breakthrough, he was already confident that he would have no opponent in Second Realm Grandmaster.

Now that his cultivation has advanced greatly, I don't know who is stronger or weaker than Third Realm Grandmaster.

But even if it cannot be compared with Third Realm Grandmaster now, it is only temporary.

After all, after entering Divine Form, in addition to the skyrocketing attribute points.

The most important thing is the mark on the body.

He lowered his head and looked at his chest. Sure enough, outside the four ring marks, a gray-white ring had quietly emerged.

This means that he can enter Demon Beast again.

Demon Beast's attributes have been greatly improved, even though his own combat power has now reached an extremely powerful level.

But to be able to achieve the step of reverse slashing Grandmaster, most of it depends on the mark entering the body.

"But this fifth mark still needs to be activated first."

"I don't know how much animal blood it takes to activate this fifth ring mark."

Lin Sheng This thought flashed through his mind. You must know that when the ring mark is activated, the consumption of animal blood will increase almost exponentially.

You don't need to think about it to know that the Strange Beast blood required to activate the fifth mark is absolutely an astronomical figure.

And the requirements for Strange Beast blood are not necessarily low.

When the fourth mark was activated, the blood of Mortal Beast had no effect at all, only Spirit Beast Blood could.

How far will this fifth mark's requirements for animal blood go.

"General!!"

"General, are you okay!?"

At this time, Meng Lie's anxious voice sounded outside the account, interrupting Lin Sheng's thoughts.

"Come in, I'm fine."

Lin Sheng spoke lightly.

Meng Lie rushed in immediately, and his heart was hanging after seeing the intact Lin Sheng, and then he completely relaxed.

"General, you... have broken through!"

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from the other party, Meng Lie couldn't help but say.

"Well, luckily it worked."

Lin Sheng nodded.

Seeing the other party's understatement, Meng Lie was shocked in his heart.

You must know that breaking through Divine Form is an extremely serious matter for any warrior.

Even when the younger members of the royal family break through Divine Form, they must be protected by Grandmaster-level elders, and they must also have various Medicinal Bath pills to assist them in breaking through.

This was the first time he saw a person alone, and he dared to break through the Divine Form mark.

"Is there any news about Gongsun Changhai?"

Not paying attention to what Meng Lie was thinking, Lin Sheng asked.

"Reporting to the general, there is no news about Gongsun Changhai yet. It should be above Eastern Sea."

At this point Meng Lie paused and continued.

"According to what my subordinates see, Gongsun Changhai has received the news, and I'm afraid he may not return to camp."

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Lin Sheng frowned.

He wants to solve the Crimson Feather Army matter as soon as possible. If Gongsun Changhai keeps cowering in the Eastern Sea and dare not come back, it will undoubtedly waste a lot of time.

Thinking of this, he looked at Meng Lie.

"Then what is the strength of Gongsun Changhai?"

"Back to the general, Gongsun Changhai reached the peak of divine power fifty years ago and is quite powerful in combat."

"So what compared to you?"

"You should be a little better than your subordinates."

Meng Lie thought for a moment and said truthfully.

"What about the other generals you brought?"

Lin Sheng asked with a frown.

"If we add other generals, we can naturally take it down."

"That's good."

Lin Sheng nodded.

He didn't plan to stay here long.

After all, the amount of animal blood required to activate the fifth mark is definitely not a small amount.

Naturally, it is impossible to collect them all in this Hai He Valley.

But it's different in Southern Qi Imperial City.

Thinking about it, it is definitely enough to meet the needs of activating the mark.

"How is the search for the Pirates location in the Near Sea area?"

"Back to General, we have collected almost all of them. Although those pirates are cunning, they are very numerous and it is difficult to completely hide their traces."

"If that's the case, then pass on the order and go out to sea to suppress the bandits tomorrow."

Lin Sheng nodded immediately and said.

After cleaning up the bandits at sea, he decided to return to Imperial Capital. As for the remaining Gongsun Changhai, he would leave it to Meng Lie and others.

"General, there is one more thing. His Majesty has sent three more Divine Form generals to assist. They have arrived at the military camp."

"Well, then let's keep them together. There are still vacancies in the centurion positions on the left and right, which can be filled."

Lin Sheng is a little surprised.

It seems that Emperor Jing His Majesty already knows what he has done.

Originally, he thought that he would be a little unhappy because he had done something so radical, but he was actually more decisive than he thought.

"Subordinates take orders."

After Meng Lie responded, he resigned and left, hurriedly preparing to go to sea tomorrow.

The next day.

The sky is bright.

A team of more than a hundred people headed in the direction of Hai He City.

The red flag fluttered in the wind, and a black dragon shape was clearly visible.

In addition to the dragon flag symbolizing the Red Feather Army, there is also a flag with the same red background and black characters, with a large word "" written on it.

Although there were not many people, the team moved very fast and arrived outside Hai He City in a short time.

A middle-aged man with a somewhat fat body and fair face, wearing a black official robe, was waiting outside the city with others early.

When he saw the team approaching, he immediately took a few steps forward, smiled broadly, and spoke loudly.

"Hai He City Lord Sun Kaixuan, meet with Commander Lin."

At the front of the team, Meng Lie raised his eyebrows disdainfully and then the team dispersed.

A red and black official chariot stopped in front of the city.

"Get up, Sun City Lord."

On the official chariot, Lin Sheng lay on his back, glanced at the fat man, and spoke calmly.

"Thank you very much, Commander Lin. I was unable to meet Commander Lin in person due to official business. Please blame me, Commander."

The white-faced fat man was still hunched over and said with an apologetic smile on his face.

A pair of dead fish eyes looked at Lin Sheng carefully.

After he learned about what happened in the Crimson Feather Army camp a few days ago, he was stunned on the spot and almost broke his most beloved porcelain bottle.

But soon I couldn't help but feel worried.

I was afraid that this murderous god would find him, but fortunately, things did not develop in the worst direction.

That's why he hurriedly came out to receive the confession in person.

"Busy with official duties?"

Lin Sheng raised his eyebrows and his voice immediately became a little darker.

Sun Kaixuan was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He fell to his knees with a plop and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.

"The villain is guilty, please forgive me, the commander. These are my thoughts prepared for you, please accept them."

As he spoke, he quickly glanced at the clerk behind him who was also kneeling on the ground. The latter quickly stood up and held a brocade box and sent it up.

Meng Lie stepped forward to take the brocade box and handed it to Lin Sheng.

Opening the brocade box, there was a thick stack of Southern Qi treasure banknotes inside, all with denominations of ten thousand taels, at least as many as several million taels.

Seeing this scene, Lin Sheng grinned and threw it back.

"I need Demon Beast's blood to practice my martial arts. Since Sun City Lord is willing, I will prepare more Demon Beast's blood after I return from suppressing the bandits."

"Little man... little man will never let you down!!"

Initially, when Sun Kaixuan saw the brocade box being thrown back, his face turned pale with fear, but after hearing Lin Sheng's words, he immediately relaxed a lot and nodded in response.

Lin Sheng ignored the other party, waved his hand and the team immediately entered the city.

After the team left, Sun Kaixuan stood up and wiped his sweat.

"Fortunately, we sent away this murderous god."

"Sir City Lord, where should we collect Demon Beast's blood?"

The clerk on the side said hesitantly.

"This..."

This question made Sun Kaixuan worried again.
