My Heart, One Goal: Kill!

While Luo Feng and the Captain's respective squads of warriors quietly waited for an opportunity outside the True God-level battlefield, like hunters, the most frenzied fighting in the entire Nine Smoke Marsh was undoubtedly among the 'Law Masters.' This was an incredibly brutal war, with a large number of weaker or less-defended Law Masters falling. The combined Law Masters from Xuanyu Mountain and Nine Smoke Marsh naturally numbered over ten million! And by now, over a third had already fallen! This was a crucible, a culling! Law Masters who endured this trial and survived this terrifying culling would even rapidly break through to become True Gods!

"That idiot Yinhe! Still trying to get a True God's corpse. Are True God corpses that easy to acquire?" Wuhe flicked its tail, swiftly moving through the vast Nine Smoke Marsh battlefield, occasionally roaring furiously as it charged towards the tribal warriors from the 'Xuanyu Mountain' side.

"Kill!"

"Slaughter these bastards from Xuanyu Mountain!" Wuhe roared and bellowed. Other alien beasts nearby also roared along, joining the attack on the tribal warriors. Nine Smoke Marsh was simply too vast, and the number of Law Masters too immense. Perhaps new Law Masters were constantly being born, and old ones falling... So, any given Law Master would be considered exceptional if they recognized eighty percent of their fellow Law Master companions. Seeing Wuhe was an alien beast and fighting alongside them against the 'Xuanyu Mountain' tribal warriors, they simply assumed it was a comrade they didn't recognize.

"Kill, kill." Wuhe fought with frenzied intensity, but once an alien beast fell nearby, it would quickly collect the weapons and armor dropped by the deceased.

"After three months of killing, I've only earned 1200 military merit points," Wuhe thought, secretly anxious. But the battlefield was simply too large. It could only collect weapons and armor dropped nearby! And it had to be extremely careful to avoid numerous dangers. After all, the battlefield was chaotic; if it let its guard down, even it could fall.

...

In another part of the vast Nine Smoke Marsh battlefield.

"Everyone, be extremely cautious. Our strength is considered formidable among Law Masters. But this is a war involving over ten million Law Masters! Qu Luoe and the other two fell because they weren't careful enough. We still need a lot of military merit, so we must remain vigilant." Kufa led a squad of warriors who were also mingling in the battlefield. They all looked like tribal warriors, naturally disguised as being from the 'Xuanyu Mountain' side.

"Yes."

"Understood."

"We still need a lot of military merit," each warrior said, filled with anxiety. This was their outward demeanor. But inwardly, this group of warriors understood that if a comrade died, the weapons and armor that comrade had previously collected from the Nine Smoke Marsh alien beasts would become theirs. The combined efforts of their ten warriors had only yielded just over ten thousand pieces of weapons and armor, which could barely be exchanged for over ten thousand military merit points, ensuring at least one warrior could complete this mission. A comrade's death, paradoxically, benefited them. However, no one wanted to be the one to die.

...

Kufa's squad, Yuluo's squad, and the lone Wuhe were all trying to find ways to collect weapons and armor from the 'Nine Smoke Marsh' side on the Law Master battlefield. Of course, a small portion of weapons and armor from 'Xuanyu Mountain' powerhouses could also be mixed in to make up the numbers. As long as the army couldn't find any issues! But Nine Smoke Marsh was simply too vast! How many pieces of weapons and armor could each of their three groups obtain? It was destined... that in this mission, most of them would either die on the battlefield or eventually face military punishment! Even so! They dared not venture into the True God-level battlefield.

...

On the edge of the True God-level battlefield, this conflict had already lasted nearly four months. Luo Feng remained calm, silently waiting for an opportunity. But the Captain's squad, on the other hand, was experiencing internal strife.

"Captain! You're always so afraid of this and that. Once this war is over, where will we find another chance to earn massive military merit?" a lean warrior in dark golden armor angrily transmitted. "Without military merit, we can only flee, but if the army wants to kill us, even if we escape for a while, we won't live long. We must earn military merit."

"Yes, Captain, we can't go on like this."

"We want to live too!"

"We want military merit too!" Several warriors grew anxious, and the others looked at the Captain with concern. The Captain's indifferent eyes, beneath his massive curved horns, swept across his surroundings. He understood that his subordinates were truly desperate. He could afford to be unhurried about acquiring a True God's corpse, but his warriors couldn't maintain his level of calm and ease.

"Going into the True God-level battlefield now is suicide," the Captain said coldly.

"We know that's suicide, so we won't go there. But... countless Law Masters are currently clashing. These are all military merit points! As long as we have enough time to collect a large amount of weapons and armor, it's entirely possible to gather enough military merit. On the Law Master battlefield, our chances of survival are much higher."

"Yes, Captain."

"Let's go to the Law Master battlefield."

They all looked at the Captain. The Captain, however, sneered, "Collecting weapons and armor to get ten thousand military merit? How long would that take? Those who want to go, go. I won't stop you. But at a critical moment, I will send you a message via communication token, telling you my coordinates. At that time, you must come immediately. Otherwise..."

"Yes, Captain."

"Understood, Captain."

"At the Captain's call, we'll be there immediately."

"Captain, we're heading to the battlefield now."

"We await your command at any time." Each warrior immediately responded, then quietly and swiftly slipped away. In just a moment, the Captain's entire squad had vanished.

The Captain shook his head and sneered, "In the face of death, everyone seems to be pushed to their limits." The Captain looked down on these warriors, but after all, they were all Python River Army soldiers, and united, they could still unleash considerable combat power. If utilized well... they could pass some missions more easily. He wouldn't easily abandon this group of warriors until the very last moment.

...

Luo Feng and the Captain, in two different locations on the edge of the True God-level battlefield, were quietly entrenched, ready to bare their fangs at any moment.

...

"Roar~~~" The eight-hoofed alien beast True God with a long neck and a single eye on its slender head flickered with cunning as it roamed the edge of the True God-level battlefield. Its strength had already diminished considerably. Creatures like it, without True God-level combat armor among True Gods, were inherently inferior to those True Gods who had 'joined the army'! Usually, trivial matters like clearing battlefields, patrolling, or retrieving their fallen comrades' bodies were handled by these True Gods. But they understood this was due to their lack of strength, so they would also temper themselves. However, in such a grand decisive battle... once they felt their strength had significantly dropped, they would choose to repeatedly evade and dodge.

"Damn it."

"Once a True God dies, their weapons and armor will detach from their body and be captured by the enemy who killed them. Yet I haven't acquired a single piece." The eight-hoofed alien beast True God secretly fumed. True God-level combat armor and weapons were extremely precious. Lesser combat armor and weapons, however, were very common; most Law Masters possessed them. In Jinzhi World, even a hundred or a thousand 'peak supreme treasures' couldn't compare to a single 'ultimate supreme treasure'!

"I must acquire a True God combat armor."

"Absolutely." The eight-hoofed alien beast True God roamed repeatedly, constantly avoiding combat and escaping, searching for an opportunity. If a 'True God' with True God-level combat armor fell, it would definitely try to snatch it! However, such True Gods were difficult to kill, and even if one fell... its chances of snatching it were very slim, which was why it still lacked True God combat armor.

...

Roaming repeatedly. In different areas of the True God-level battlefield.

"If there are no other True Gods," the Captain was growing anxious. "Just this one eight-hoofed alien beast, if I control my mechanical treasure, one-on-one, I could kill it after a long struggle. But this is a True God-level battlefield! It has already collected over thirty True God corpses from the Nine Smoke Marsh side."

In another location.

Luo Feng's eyes were calm as the sea, silently locking onto the eight-hoofed alien beast True God, constantly calculating their relative positions. "Its strength has diminished considerably." "It doesn't have an ultimate supreme treasure combat armor protecting it!" "I am confident I can kill it in a very short time." Luo Feng locked onto the alien beast True God's position. As the eight-hoofed alien beast True God roamed, Luo Feng also began to move stealthily. His speed was not fast, to prevent large fluctuations that could be detected by divine power. He gradually approached the True God-level battlefield, moving very slowly. At this moment... Luo Feng was extremely patient. This approach took over three days. After more than three days of approaching, Luo Feng had entered the True God-level battlefield. Immediately after, Luo Feng stopped, waiting for the eight-hoofed alien beast True God to roam closer.

"Wait."

"Wait."

"Wait for that moment of explosion." Luo Feng continuously built up his power. The three-plus days of approaching, and now the waiting, caused Luo Feng's entire state to continuously surge... All other thoughts and ideas were excluded, everything converged into one single goal—to kill this eight-hoofed alien beast True God in the fastest possible time, with the shortest expenditure of effort! This absolute singularity of thought! Naturally, it unleashed his potential... Luo Feng vaguely felt a strong urge to draw his blade. Why can breakthroughs only happen in life-and-death battles? It's because in such situations, the instinct for survival naturally causes all thoughts to converge, unleashing incredibly terrifying potential. This was a terrifyingly dangerous situation! To kill a True God in a battlefield with tens of thousands of True Gods! How insane was that? Precisely because of this madness, Luo Feng's heart burned with even greater passion.

"Opportunity."

"Opportunity."

"Opportunity." Luo Feng's eyes saw only the eight-hoofed alien beast True God roaming in the distance. At this moment, the eight-hoofed alien beast True God was being extremely cautious, unwilling to engage powerful True Gods from Xuanyu Mountain. At most, it would fight some equally weak tribal True Gods. Gradually, it was approaching Luo Feng, getting closer... closer... Luo Feng, who had been like a stone, his eyes dull, suddenly lit up. His entire being exploded from a state of dormancy.

"This is the moment!"

Luo Feng instantly erupted. Boom! His speed instantly surged, divine power began to burn wildly, boom! "Annihilation" Volume One! Boom! Burning even more intensely, "Annihilation" Volume Two! These were two of Luo Feng's greatest gains in improving his strength over the past 8 million-plus epochs... mastering "Annihilation" Volume Two! "What!" The eight-hoofed alien beast True God, which had been cautiously roaming the edge, suddenly turned its slender head, its single eye looking back in astonishment, only to see a massive, blurry blade shadow crushing down with an incredibly fierce momentum...
