Scorpion Three Generals

Ye Cang had no idea what was happening in Crimson Cloud City.

But after more than half a day, he had already slaughtered every vicious beast in the Gray Mist Zone's County Town No. 0227.

It had once been a small county town, not very large, and there weren't many vicious beast groups in the area.

Only seven.

After more than half a day of searching and slaughter, the place was now completely free of vicious beasts.

[Life Energy: 1620]

He still hadn't spent today's gains on adding points.

Bang!

After loading all the precious materials he'd collected from the vicious beasts into the off-road pickup, Ye Cang started the engine and headed straight for Crimson Cloud City.

Along the way, he glanced at his attributes and began adding points.

As before, he put them into his "Spirit" attribute.

As his Life Energy dwindled, his "Spirit" attribute continued to climb, and the psychic power in his sea of consciousness grew stronger and stronger.

An hour and a half later, his "Spirit" attribute had risen to 400.

His psionic cultivation broke through to the intermediate Psionic General level.

That meant his psionic attack power was now strong enough to match that of the weakest High-level General.

Looking at the 290 Life Energy he had left, Ye Cang thought for a few seconds, then added it to his "Body" attribute.

In an instant, he felt his strength rising without pause.

In less than ten minutes, his strength had increased by a full 2,900 kilograms.

His strength had now reached 134, or 13.4 tons.

[Ye Cang (Junior General, Intermediate Psionic General)]

[Spirit: 400]

[Body: 134]

[Combat Skills: Aurora Sword Wings (Uninitiated 52/200), Blood Shadow Flow Killing Sword Art (Intent Realm · Dripping Blood)...]

[Movement Technique: Subtlety (106/)]

[Life Energy: 0]

After glancing at his attribute panel, Ye Cang felt even better.

He drove along, humming a tune!

Before long, Ye Cang had driven out of the fog.

Crimson Cloud City wasn't far away.

Suddenly...

Bang!

A black shadow flashed before his eyes. He heard a sharp whistle as something tore through the air, and the next moment, a soccer-ball-sized rock slammed into his windshield.

Crack...

Shards flew everywhere!

Even the specially reinforced windshield couldn't withstand a blow of such terrifying force.

Ye Cang hurriedly raised a hand to block the rock, then slammed on the brakes.

"Who was that?!"

Fury flashed in his eyes.

This damn car was brand-new!

He'd only taken it out for one trip, and someone had already smashed the windshield.

Anyone would have blown their top.

He got out and looked around, his gaze instantly settling on one spot.

Three people stood quietly in front and to his side, watching him.

One of them was swinging his arm. He was clearly the one who'd just thrown the rock.

Ye Cang's face turned icy as he looked at the three of them.

"It's them!"

Ye Cang's heart stirred. If he wasn't mistaken, these three were probably the people who'd been following him around Crimson Cloud City.

But now they were completely covered in combat suits, and each wore a white mask.

A scorpion emblem was printed on every mask.

As Ye Cang watched them, the three of them were sizing him up as well.

The man who'd thrown the rock looked a little shocked and muttered under his breath,

"Tsk, just how much has this kid been hiding? Even with the glass in the way, he shouldn't have been able to stop my attack so easily."

"Enough talk. Cut off his escape routes. Don't let him get away!"

One of them barked the order, then shot toward Ye Cang in a flash.

At the same time, the other two charged from either side.

In less than three seconds, they had formed a pincer and surrounded Ye Cang.

"The Scorpion Three Generals? What do you want with me?"

Seeing them move, Ye Cang's heart sank.

These three clearly meant trouble!

"Heh. Someone wants your head as a congratulatory gift."

The man in the lead spoke with a grin, then made a point of adding,

"He's willing to pay handsomely!"

At those words, Ye Cang had already guessed the answer.

Xue Long!

He had no other enemies at the moment.

As for the Scorpion Three Generals, he'd seen their name on the "Warrior Forum."

The three specialized in taking underground contracts to kill warriors. They were notorious.

All three were Generals, and they always wore masks, so no one knew what they really looked like.

Even their voices were altered by machines.

That only made them more mysterious.

To this day, they were still at large.

Recalling what he'd read, Ye Cang glanced at his phone and saw that it had no signal at all.

He couldn't contact the outside world.

They've certainly thought of everything.

Ye Cang sighed inwardly.

"Loose lips sink ships. We should hurry up and kill this kid, then take his head back."

Another man spoke coldly.

He held a long, blood-red saber and watched Ye Cang eagerly.

He looked ready to hack Ye Cang to pieces the moment the fight began.

"Heh, true. It's getting late. If we're delayed, the employer won't be happy."

The man in the lead continued to grin.

"Getting a hundred million Huaxia Coins for killing one measly warrior—what could be better?"

The last man spoke up as well, his tone icy and dripping with killing intent.

"I'll test this kid first. Let's see if he can take one of my blows!"

Suddenly, the man with the saber struck first.

Whoosh!

A black shadow flashed, and he was already in front of Ye Cang.

His long saber swept across, a streak of blood-red light aimed straight at Ye Cang's neck.

"Die!"

Ye Cang's expression hardened. He raised the God Slaying Sword and met the attack.

Clang!

The instant blade met sword, a piercing clang rang out.

Their forces collided with a tremendous crash. Ye Cang was slightly outmatched and staggered back several steps.

"Huh? This kid isn't a warrior!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes.

Just then, another man behind him thrust a dagger straight at Ye Cang's heart.

Clang!

The ring of metal sounded as a King Slayer Flying Sword shot out to block the attack.

Compared to his disadvantage in a direct clash, his psionic attacks were far stronger.

The sword blocked the dagger with ease.

"Damn it, this kid's a Psionic Warrior too!"

"Relax. We've killed two Psionic Warriors before. We won't mess this up!"

The man with the long saber snorted.

"No! This kid's psionic cultivation has already reached the intermediate General level!"

After seeing Ye Cang block several successive dagger strikes, the man was shocked.

Just then, the man in the lead thrust a long spear straight at Ye Cang's brow.

"So what if he's an intermediate General? Take this!"

The spear split the air. The moment the man moved, Ye Cang could tell that his aura was a whole level above the other two.

"Intermediate General!"

Ye Cang's heart sank.

He flicked a hand, sending a King Slayer Flying Sword to intercept the spear as it thrust toward him.

Boom!

A terrifying force surged from the King Slayer Flying Sword blocking his brow. Ye Cang felt the psychic power in his sea of consciousness tremble.

His body froze for an instant.

"What terrifying force! He's only an intermediate General, but with his combat skill boosting him, his strength is already around seventy thousand kilograms—on par with a High-level General."

A flicker of shock passed through Ye Cang's mind.

Seizing the opening, the other two charged in to attack.

"Die!"
