Dakun City.
The terrifying Blood Shadow had already breached the defenses of the high wall; the entire top of the wall was deathly silent, and the steel fortresses stood eerily quiet.
The once unceasing tongues of fire had all inexplicably ceased; within the cold fortresses, only pale-skinned human corpses with expressions of pain remained.
The crowd that was once noisy and crowded in front of the metal doors had also turned into a silent pile of corpses.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan had already charged into the high wall, commencing a massacre.
"Jie jie jie~"
At this moment, a terrifying and piercing laughter echoed over the entire Dakun City.
Dakun City was now in chaos, with people from the Great Qin Empire frantically fleeing on the streets in panic.
Those fortunate enough to hide in their homes could only curl up in corners, trembling and terrified, as they listened to the laughter.
Fang Yuan could be seen at this moment, hovering above Dakun City, holding a three-foot Blood Banner.
The Blood Banner seemed to have countless ghost faces struggling and wailing on its surface, attempting to break free, looking incredibly eerie. Moreover, it was entwined with a great amount of black mist that emitted ghostly howls, chilling the heart.
From afar, Fang Yuan, enveloped by swirling black mist and holding the Blood Banner, was unnaturally swaying in the air.
Suddenly, Fang Yuan lightly waved the Blood Banner. Instantly, ghostly wails erupted, and masses of black fog spewed forth, covering a vast area below, as countless ghostly creatures emerged with claws and fangs, wreaking havoc from within the fog.
Quickly, those from the Great Qin Empire enveloped by the black fog, indoors or outdoors, screamed in agony, writhing on the ground.
The ghostly creatures forcefully ripped the soul bodies of these humans from their physical forms, pulling them back into the Blood Banner.
In just a few moments, the Blood Banner contained over a hundred human souls, making its surface appear even more crimson, with its ominous aura visibly growing stronger.
"Jie jie jie, indeed, human soul bodies are more perfect; just a hundred or so have already enhanced my precious artifact slightly!"
Observing the Blood Banner's transformation, Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
This Blood Banner was precisely the new demonic treasure he had forged—the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!
In terms of potential, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner far exceeded the White Bone Grudge Soul Jar; the more souls enslaved, the stronger its power would become, and its material would undergo metamorphosis.
Simultaneously, the vengeful souls within the banner could devour other souls within it to grow.
"The people of the Great Qin Empire are numerous. As long as this Demon Monarch can harvest human souls extensively, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner will quickly grow. At that time, its ultimate power may even rival that of a Spirit Treasure!"
Fang Yuan's lips curled into a sneer as his mind swirled with visions.
As time passed, and Fang Yuan did not encounter intervention from his elder brother, he became increasingly audacious in his actions.
Within Dakun City, area after area was harvested by Fang Yuan wielding the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, turning into desolate wastelands. The surviving Great Qin people transformed from initially screaming and frantically fleeing to now wearing expressions of utter despair.
Feeling the increasingly potent aura of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Fang Yuan's heart surged with excitement and pride, his smile growing more and more arrogant.
With the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in hand, as long as his elder brother did not intervene, who could stop him?
The third brother?
Humph, with the surge in this Demon Monarch's combat power, even if that worthless third brother came, he'd be sent packing in defeat.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's eyes flashed with a cold glimmer.
That third-party only benefits from the Beastman Unity advantage. Otherwise, this Demon Monarch would have already beaten her senseless!!
Immediately, Fang Yuan's gaze fixed on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, a sinister smile unconsciously forming on his face.
As long as the Ten Thousand Souls Banner gets strong enough, in the future, even the eldest, that guy, wouldn't be unbeatable for me.
Alas, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner as it stands now is far from enough...
Su Province, Jiangtong City.
One of the few cities that survived the beast tide and the only one in Su Province that hadn't been visited by the Black Demon Tiger.
To prepare for the possible appearance of the Black Demon Tiger, Jiangtong City had already entered a state of high alert. Some of the unarmed citizens of the Great Qin Empire had been relocated, while others were stationed within the city's hundred-meter-deep underground safe zone.
At this moment, Jiangtong City had only the Extraordinary Warriors of the Qin Army and members of the Extraordinary Guild remaining.
On the high walls, inside each steel fortress, sat warriors of the Qin Army, with sharp eyes fixed on the sky ahead, ready to pull the trigger at the slightest anomaly.
Outside the fortresses, rows of Extraordinaries stood guard, maintaining a vigilant watch.
Behind the high wall, numerous Extraordinaries awaited. If battle erupted, they would charge directly onto the high wall.
"It's coming!"
Suddenly, a cry of alarm broke the silence atop the high wall.
In the distant sky, a sinister black cloud was rapidly approaching.
Immediately, the entire high wall buzzed with tension, the Extraordinaries on high alert, and the machine guns within the steel fortresses ready to fire at any moment.
In the blink of an eye, the black cloud shrouding Fang Yuan flew into view.
"Humph, is this Demon Monarch's welcome party?"
Seeing the scene atop the high wall, Fang Yuan revealed his form, sneering with disdain.
"Die!"
Just as Fang Yuan was about to wave the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, a voice rang out.
"You beast! How dare you be so audacious!"
Instantly, the azure sword light transformed by Li Ling'Er flew from the horizon, arriving above the high wall.
"It's the Little Sword Immortal!"
On the high wall, seeing the arrival of the Little Sword Immortal, humans were invigorated, their heavy hearts lifting.
With the Little Sword Immortal taking action, they were sure this despicable Black Demon Tiger would be slain.
