Quick thing before this chapter starts, I screwed up one of the translations. The Qinghuan female soldier and General Bao are two separate people. I am sorry about the mix up. Please forgive me as I am new to this translating thing. It will be fixed soon.

Chapter 8 - Blood Absorbing Rope

The foot of Qiyun mountain

Although sound could not be heard from the Heavenly Eye, the image it projected could be seen by everyone. 

Zhou Chi frowned in confusion. "Weren't they working together a few moments ago? Why does it seem like there is heavy tension between the two groups?"

On the Fourth Prince's face was an understanding look. Yu Sheng's grudge with Wang Xiong was something that almost everyone knew about. 

Although they both wished for Wang Xiong's death, they both knew that it could not be done in plain view. As of now, the Heavenly Eye was still aimed at the group. If Yu Sheng did kill Wang Xiong now, then news of it would spread to all the royal palaces. 

The Fourth Prince watched anxiously.

Wang Zhongquan also had an ugly expression on it. "Miss Zhou, although my young master is not a palace master yet, he is still the first in line and holds a considerable position. I fear that because of this, young prince Yu Sheng and his general may try some underhanded means... If this does happen, I hope that Miss Zhou will account for the relationship between our two palaces and help spread news of today's occurrences..."

Zhou Tianyin nodded, "If such a thing does happen, then I will not hesitate."

Hearing this, the Fourth Prince scowled. "Miss Zhou, that General likely does not know what is the right thing to do! If anything happens, I suggest using the Heavenly Eye to shoot him."

"Oh?" Everyone was shocked. 

Fear was present deep within the Fourth Prince's heart. He only cared about his son, General Bao was nothing more than a disposable pawn, and he was sure that the moment his son saw the beam of light fall from the sky, he would know that he was being watched. 

Before the crowd outside could come to a solid decision, those within the picture moved. 

The moment Wang Xiong had finished speaking, the general, as well as the remaining soldiers all drew their blades. Wang Xiong scowled at the sea of blades pointed towards him and his entourage. 

Wang Xiong understood the crisis he was in. Although he had saved their lives, the soldiers of the Great Qin army would naturally stand by their general. 

"Death? I'll see how you will make me die! No matter if you are dead or alive, we are leaving today with that Dan!" General Bao's eyes flashed in anger as he raised his blade. 

Seeing this, the rest of the army encircled Wang Xiong's group, their swords all bristling and forming a wall of metal.  

"Pah! You are courting death!" Wang Xiong's eyes flashed with a cold gaze. 

"Roar!" 

Da Que leaped at the army, followed by the members of the tiger clan and the pack of wolves. 

"Boom!" 

Sword qi collided with the tigers wind blades as battle began once more. 

Not too far away, Yu Sheng froze, a sense of displeasure plastered on his face. The Wang Xiong he remembered was weak and timid, was this really the same person he once looked down upon?

General Bao did not move, his blade still extended toward Wang Xiong's neck, but Wang Xiong's expression did not change. "You actually dare?"

The group of wolves and officers of the Qin army fought relentlessly in the background, but one could see that the Qin army was slowly being pushed back.

Yu Sheng's expression changed. What sort of leader would let his men be killed?

"Wang Xiong, enough!" He shouted as he ran into the fray. 

Wang Xiong had kept an eye on the prince ever since he stepped into the battlefield. Yu Sheng's actions caused Wang Xiong's eyes to turn cold.

How could Wang Xiong not know what Yu Sheng was planning? Yu Sheng's previous tone and attitude, coupled with what Wang Xiong remembered of him from his past life, it was obvious what Yu Sheng was planning to do. 

Although his cultivation level was extremely low, Wang Xiong was not afraid. He could still feel a heavenly gaze on his back.  

The moment General Bao had unsheathed his blade was the moment Wang Xiong made his decision. With their hostile actions, everything he would now do could be passed off as "self defense". So what was he waiting for?

"Come!"

In his hands, the talisman flashed before becoming a rope once again. A cold look flashed through Wang Xiong's eyes. 

A few paces away, Yu Sheng unsheathed his blade, however it faltered when he saw the strangely calm look on Wang Xiong's face. 

Yu Sheng did not obtain the position of the Emperor's High Officer solely because of his familial background. He had witnessed countless battles and taken part in many others. At the moment, he felt a shiver crawl up his spine. Although there seemed to be nothing wrong, his body seemingly thought otherwise. 

Listening to his instinct, Yu Sheng shifted his trajectory and turned his blade towards the demonic tiger standing next to Wang Xiong. 

Seeing this, General Bao moved swiftly as well. In his eyes, the tiger posed the largest threat. After all, it was the only one on Wang Xiong's side who had a cultivation base on the same level as him and Yu Sheng. 

"Roar!"

Ju Que growled in pain before leaping back, blood now covering his fur. He had been hit, but the wound was not too bad.

Yu Sheng and General Bao's eyes widened as they realized that something was not right... The demonic tiger only had one wound on its body!

"What!" A shocked expression appeared on their faces. 

Wrapped around General Bao's wrist was a red rope. General Bao froze, wasn't this...

"Pah!"

The whip returned to its owner with a snap, leaving behind a red welt that left his sword hand unsteady. His eyes moved to the teenage boy, a whip in one hand, baby tiger in the other. 

"Courting death!" General Bao's face filled with rage, killing intent radiating from his body.

But it was too late. The whip flashed again as it found itself wound around General Bao's neck. 

"Guh!" General Bao's face tightened. 

"Pah!"

The rest of the whip moved at a terrifying speed as it twisted around General Bao. 

The whip extended in length and within a single breath's time, had completely wrapped around the general to the point where only his head was left sticking out. 

Yu Sheng was stunned. "What kind of weapon is that?"

In the blink of an eye, this rope was able to leave a trained general with a Martial Lord cultivation helpless. 

Those watching from outside were in a similar situation. Previously, Zhou Tianyin had been preparing to fire the Eye of Heaven, but once again, Wang Xiong's actions left her frozen on the spot.

Beside her stood Zhou Chi, his eyes wide. "Could this whip possible be a holy grade weapon?"

The fourth prince frowned. "Although the Eastern Palace has declined to such a poor state, there should still be one or two holy grade weapons left within their treasury, so it is normal that Wang Xiong would have one. However, that General Bao is being too reckless. Miss Zhou, we must act now!"

Zhou Tianyin was silent. No matter how one looked at it, General Bao seemed to like he was not in a position to cause harm. Because of this, she did not use the Eye.

In the image, Wang Xiong stood silently, gazing coldly at the incapacitated general. Although the rope was a treasure, its original function was not for battle. Because of Wang Xiong's past memories and experiences, even the lowest of all weapons could be used to such an extent. 

"Release me!" General Bao ordered, struggling. 

"Release you?" Wang Xiong scoffed loudly. "If I let you go tiday, how can I save face? I gave you a chance previously, yet you don't even know how to write the simple word "die". It seems like I will have to teach you how..."

"Stop!" Yu Sheng cried.

Wang Xiong ignored Yu Sheng and gripped the handle of the whip , pulling it back.

Although the whip had little power, it was already entwined around General Bao's neck. The small force he exerted was definitely enough to rip General Bao's head off his neck. 

It was not that Wang Xiong was a bad person. It was because he knew what would happen if he let an enemy live. Sooner or later, it would come back to bite him, he would never get a chance like this again. 

However, before the rope was pulled back, it trembled as if sensing Wang Xiong's intent. A spike suddenly appeared on the whip and penetrated into General Bao's body. 

"Ah!" General Bao yelled in pain.

The whip made a small squeaking sound as the general's body dried up in an instant. It was as if all the blood in his body was absorbed by the whip. 

Those watching stared in horror. 

"He dares!" Yu Sheng was furious. 

Wang Xiong flicked his wrist and released the now dry body of General Bao from the whip, the spikes retracting slowly. For a moment, the color changed from a light pink to a dark scarlet. 

However, within a few breaths time, the color returned to its original pink. As this happened, Wang Xiong felt a rush of power flow into his body. 

"Oh, this actually has the power to absorb blood?" Wang Xiong was surprised.

"That blood-sucking whip, could it be a demonic instrument?" Zhou Chi asked fearfully. 

To be able to kill a Martial Lord with little to no effort? Zhou Chi felt shivers down his spine as he remembered all the things he had said about Wang Xiong behind his back. 

If he found out...

The Fourth Prince's eyes were also gazing solemnly at the screen. The rope did install some greed within him, but the greed was replaced with fear. Fear for his son who was still in front of Wang Xiong, sword drawn.

The Fourth Prince began to panic. "Miss Zhou, the Qin army was rude and offended Wang Xiong. All of those actions were caused by General Bao. You should contact them right away with the Eye of Heaven and tell them to make peace!" 

Currently in the image, Yu Sheng was surrounded by a horde of wolves, group of demonic tigers, and a single young man who seemed to radiate an untouchable aura. 

The situation was now reversed with Wang Xiong on top.
