Berserk God of War

Chapter 534: Chapter 534: I Am Helpless

”The Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness has been fully repaired, and there’s a great chance that the Beigong Commander will come back to life. But now is not the time for his resurrection.”

”If he regains consciousness again, it will only consume more energy, I fear he might die once again.”

”I must find a skilled doctor first.”

Sikong Jing muttered to himself before his thoughts began to whirl. Then, he stared intently at Beigong Xianfeng and took a deep breath, ”Beigong Commander, I cannot revive you now.”

”I must ensure there’s a skilled doctor by your side when your heart starts beating again. I must also make sure that Ji Tan, Mo Ci, and all the others believe you are already dead, so you won’t be subjected to another assassination attempt or attack.”

”So...”

At this point, Sikong Jing took out the Demon Blood again and dripped it, bit by bit, onto the wounds of Beigong Xianfeng.

Allowing the Demon Blood to enter his body, Sikong Jing then placed his hand over Beigong Xianfeng’s chest, guiding the Demon Blood to flow inside him, and this flow... was very slow!

Time passed, indeterminable, until there was a thud—Beigong Xianfeng’s heart seemed to beat once.

”It worked!”

Sikong Jing exhaled deeply and then infused a strand of True Qi.

This strand of True Qi would control and slowly move the Demon Blood, approximately every two hours Beigong Xianfeng’s heart would beat once. In other words, Beigong Xianfeng was now in a state of suspended animation.

Since his Spirit Platform Consciousness had recovered, it would not be fatal again.

Therefore, as long as a sliver of vitality was maintained, he could continue to live until the Demon Blood was fully worn off.

This could last for about a month.

After everything was settled, Sikong Jing gazed deeply at Beigong Xianfeng a few times, then slowly turned around. He opened the door of the room, and Cao Yi and others outside rushed forward desperately.

Their eyes were bloodshot as they stared at Sikong Jing, their lips trembling with immense hope.

The man beneath the mask, Sikong Qian, stared at the people in front of him and, in the end, said hoarsely, ”I, am powerless.”

Hum!

The minds of Cao Yi, Wen Jun, and a group of Vice Commanders and strategists buzzed, with their bodies shaking uncontrollably.

Powerless, Sikong Jing had failed after all!

”Commander, oh Commander!”

They each rushed into Beigong Xianfeng’s room, falling to their knees one by one, their cries piercing the heavens.

Of course, they did not realize that Beigong Xianfeng was in a state of suspended animation.

”I’m sorry, I must keep you in the dark for now...”

Sikong Jing looked at the emotionally shattered crowd and quietly muttered to himself.

He turned around and stepped away from the city tower.

He leapt lightly down the city wall and started walking among the Long Night Empire Army. The camp outside the city was alight with bonfires. The Long Night Empire Soldiers were discussing today’s battle.

They were all talking about the invincible Dark Wing Commander...

And when they saw Sikong Jing approaching, they all stood up and saluted, their eyes gleaming with fervent admiration.

If it weren’t for the Dark Wing Commander’s bravery today, they surely would have faced a terrible defeat.

”Dark Wing Commander, how is the Beigong Commander?” Just at that moment, a soldier couldn’t help but ask.

In an instant, everyone’s gaze converged on him.

Their excitement had suddenly faded; they felt a terrifying depth emanating from the Dark Wing Commander.

Sikong Jing slowly swept his gaze across those present, his hoarse voice ringing out, ”The Beigong Commander will protect us!”

Having said that, Sikong Jing moved forward without another word.

He left the ranks of the Long Night Empire Army and came to stand quietly on the shore of a lake on Youxue Plain, red with fresh blood.

His thoughts spread out like a gentle breeze, clear everywhere they touched.

After opening his Spirit Platform Sea of Consciousness, the world as he saw it had completely changed, as if every grain of sand was visible.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Sikong Jing inspected the meridians throughout his body, which included the Six Symbols Heavenly Dragon Meridian with the Golden Divine Dragon Vein at its core, the meridians of the Dark Winged Dragon Eagle, and various demon beast meridians.

But no matter what demon beast’s meridians, they all branched out like tree limbs.

The main vein of all the demon beast meridians was still that of the Heaven-Slaying and Prison-Breaking Technique, still connected to his Dantian, which resembled a monstrous head, and in the next moment, Sikong Jing sank into all his meridians.

He found many places that could be repaired, altered, and made stronger.

As True Qi flowed, Sikong Jing unconsciously broke through to the Taoist Captain Realm from the Daoist Soldier Realm, his even more immense True Qi continuing to modify all the meridians in his body, making the True Qi become more solid and powerful.

Meanwhile, just after inquiring about Sikong Jing, the troops wondering about Beigong Xianfeng looked at each other, bewildered.

What did he mean by saying, ”The Beigong Commander will protect us”?

A very bad feeling settled in everyone’s hearts, and sure enough, not long after, Cao Yi, just like Sikong Jing did earlier, walked into the midst of the army. His lips quivering, he tried to say something but couldn’t find the words...

”Vice Commander Cao, how is the Beigong Commander?” the same low-ranking soldier asked.

Finally, with tears brimming in his eyes, Cao Yi looked at everyone and said in a low voice, ”The Beigong Commander has passed away.”

As this statement fell, the already quiet surroundings grew even more silent.

Goosebumps broke out on everyone’s skin as they stared in disbelief at Cao Yi, their eyes becoming full of confusion.

”The Beigong Commander has died!”

Cao Yi’s voice thundered out, explosively resounding through millions in the Long Night Empire Army, as countless people stood up, trembling and surging with tears, as if they were clay statues rooted to the spot.

Then, Cao Yi flashed back to his position atop the city wall and shouted loudly, ”Actually, the Beigong Commander wasn’t supposed to come back, but he insisted on returning, leading us, the Long Night Empire Army, and stopping the War Soul Dynasty’s attack.”

”The Beigong Commander is our hero.”

”But the battle isn’t over. Tomorrow there will still be a major battle, and it will be a fearsome attack from the War Soul Dynasty after learning of the Commander’s passing. They will attack us with all they’ve got.”

”Do we want the departed spirit of our Beigong Commander to witness our defeat?”

Cao Yi’s voice boomed out erratically, yet it shook everyone to the core.

”We can’t let the Beigong Commander see us fleeing in panic,” was the cry that initially broke out, followed by tumultuous roars that filled the sky, voices laced with tears vowing to fight to the death, swearing not to disappoint the Beigong Commander.

The shouts of millions of soldiers resonated in unison, the earth itself seeming to tremble.

Looking at all the soldiers, Cao Yi suddenly spoke, ”Convey the Beigong Commander’s final order: starting tomorrow, the Dark Wing Commander will be our interim commander. He will lead us to overthrow the War Soul Dynasty.”

Upon hearing this, the crowd showed neither dissatisfaction nor discontent, but instead roared, ”Overthrow the War Soul Dynasty!”

Seeing this, Cao Yi let out a long sigh of relief.

What he had feared most was that the soldiers would not accept Sikong Jing, but it was evident that today’s battle had left an indelible mark in their hearts. This was also key to the Beigong Commander being able to rest in peace.

With Sikong Jing here, the Youyuan Twelve States might not win, but they would definitely not be defeated. At the very least, Sikong Jing could lead the entire Long Night Empire Army to hold on until the arrival of the new Commander.

Amidst the resounding chants, Cao Yi turned and returned to the city tower.

This night was long, and the soldiers found it hard to sleep.
