The severe vomiting made Ji Hao feel like he was about to cough all of his bile out. At last, what remained ceaselessly coming out of his throat was only sticky and clear water. His eyes were even blurred by the vomiting that made him unable to see clearly, he also felt that the positions of his internal organs had been changed completely.

What caused this heavy vomiting was not the bloody scene in the cell, instead, it was Ji Mo’s twisted soul!

He tolerated Ji Hao’s brutal torture, and even when his entire mind was nearly broken down, he could still keep that secret which was buried deeply inside his heart. He didn’t tell Ji Hao about that man who was placed in the Chi Ban Mountain by the non-humankind, and possessed an important position among the human army.

Ji Mo had actually kept that secret from Ji Hao despite all those extremely cruel tortures Ji Hao had performed on him; despite the fact that his soul was nearly destroyed by Ji Hao’s torture.

To him, suffering the torture was more like a holy sacrifice. Even though this ‘sacrifice’ was made out of his personal, selfish purpose, of his filthy, sordid desire, Ji Hao couldn’t help but be slightly admire Ji Mo for his ‘bravery and determination’.

Nevertheless, this ‘solid steel block’ was destroyed so easily by Ji Hao’s little trick.

How could he possibly find even a little bit marrow from Di Sha’s remaining bones? All of Di Sha’s marrow was burned into nothingness by the flame of the Flame Dragon Sword, and only that translucent skeleton of his remained.

What Ji Hao had truly done was nothing but taking out a bit marrow from Ji Mo’s own bone, which was taken out from his body by Ji Hao earlier, and presented as Di Sha’s marrow, putting it back into Ji Mo’s body. This little trick that was not even worth mentioning to Ji Hao himself, but made Ji Mo firmly believe that he had finally possessed the Yu Clan’s noble blood!

He survived Ji Hao’s torture, tolerated all that unimaginably great pain, he withstood all the nightmares that were brought by those torturing tools especially designed by the Magi Palace; even though those nightmares had gone way beyond the limitation of his body. However, he couldn’t bear to let any harm come to his ‘noble body’, not even a little bit!

Ji Mo firmly believed that he had already possessed the Yu Clan’s noble bloodline, and was already a special and noble Yu Clan’s man. He was sublimed, improved, he was no longer a barbaric, ignorant, stupid human being!

Therefore, every single hair of his had become so noble and precious!

He had suffered all of Ji Hao’s torture only for keeping that secret contact safe, but after he gained that new, ‘noble’ body, he betrayed that man immediately, without any hesitation, even before any harm actually came to him!

What a weird behavior, what a twisted soul!

“All Southern Wasteland’ warriors, even including those who used to be my enemies, like Ji Shu and Jiang Fan… they might have betrayed their clansmen, but at least they would never ever betray their ancestors, their bloodlines!” Slowly, Ji Hao said while straightening his own body. He had nothing more to throw up, although he still sensed an intense and constant twitching from his stomach, but he just couldn’t vomit anything anymore.

Taking out a leather wine container, he let quite a few mouthfuls of wine flush into his stomach through his throat, while trying his best to keep himself from vomiting again. He looked at Si Wen Ming and asked seriously, “Uncle, people like Ji Mo, are only a very few of us, right?”

Si Wen Ming pressed both of his hands heavily on Ji Hao’s shoulders, looked back at Ji Hao seriously and sincerely, and responded slowly, “Yes. They are only very few, very insignificant part of us! Most of our humankind will never ever betray our ancestors, not even when selfish desires grow in their hearts.”

“This world was created by our ancestors… they had endured great hardships in those pioneer works and had overcome all kinds of deadly dangers.” said Si Wen Ming with an especially serious look, “Our ancestors were born in here, lived here, died here and were buried right here. Every inch of land in this world is turned from our ancestors’ blood and flesh.”

“Therefore, no matter how powerful those non-humankind are, we were born in here, we lived in here, and we will eventually die in here and be buried here as well! We will never surrender even an inch of this land…we won’t let them have even a single piece of land. Either they or us, some people’ blood will drain this land.”

“One day, our sons, grandsons, and their grandsons, generation after generation, will live in here, die in here and be buried here as well.” Si Wen Ming looked at Ji Hao in the eyes and gave him a big, simple grin, “Just like you just said in there, the night sky is black and the soil is yellow. Among this primitive world, black and yellow are the most respectful colors. Our bloodline is also the most respectful bloodline in this world!”

Ji Hao nodded, slowly yet heavily grasping Si Wen Ming’s wrist. After that, he carried that wine container, and walked out of this prison that had countless non-humankind captives kept in it, step by step.

Wherever Ji Hao walked past, those captives were all frightened badly by the dense scent of blood released from Ji Hao’s body. Those non-humankind slaves, which used to be so proud and arrogant, now tremblingly curled up in corners of their cells, none of them daring to even look at Ji Hao.

“You bunch of…cowards!” Looking at those non-humankind slaves, who used to be fierce and insufferably arrogant, and were as ferocious as tigers and wolves when they slaughtered ordinary human beings, now obediently remained silent in front of him like a group of sheep, Ji Hao laughed out loud and said, “You are a bunch of wastes! Bastards! You betrayed your ancestors and forgot about who you are!”

Resonant laughers resounded through the entire prison, turning into roaring airwaves spreading out like a tsunami. Those non-humankind slaves howled out in great fear and pain, because Ji Hao’s powerful, thunder like laugher had shattered their eardrums, squeezed blood out of their mouths and nearly damaged all of their internal organs.

Having laughed for quite a while, Ji Hao puffed out his chest and walked out of the prison with big steps.

Standing before the prison’s gate, Ji Hao faced the rising sun, abruptly letting out a grin. A stream of pleasantness gushed right into his head from his heart that made him burst into another series of laughter towards the faintly purple sky.

While laughing, Ji Hao took out the Nine Dragon Fire Pearl that he found from inside Di Sha’s bangle.

The fist-sized fire pearl had been releasing swooshing and steaming hot airwaves, along with which, streams of unscrupulous and disobedient powers darted out of the pearl ceaselessly.

It was a natural holy weapon, already having its own consciousness. Its original owner, Di Sha, had never managed to completely domesticate it, and at this moment, this fire pearl showed absolutely no sign of obeying Ji Hao as its new owner. The fire pearl shook intensely in Ji Hao’s hands, constantly letting out deep dragon roars.

“Disobey me? Good, I’m just in a not-so-good mood! You’ve brought this to yourself!” Ji Hao laughed out loud once again, then threw the fire pearl into his mouth and swallowed it.

Five multicolored flames slowly rose from his lower abdomen, circling the fire pearl around and began rotating. Instantly, the fire pearl let out high-pitched, nearly despairing screams. The fire pearl shook intensely for a few times and attempted to run away from inside Ji Hao’s body, but before it could do that, the solid pearl was melted into a sphere of glowing-red liquid with amazingly high temperature.

The horribly great heat exploded inside Ji Hao’s body, scorching hot power streams gushing towards every corner of Ji Hao’s body along those broad, tough and tenacious meridians.

Ji Hao locked those power streams with his great spirit power, driving them to tens of dormant Magus Acupoints of his.

Followed by a series of loud, swooshing noises, one of Ji Hao’s Magus Acupoints lit up, then the second one and the third one; one after another, tens of Ji Hao’s Magus Acupoints each released a dazzling light and incredibly high heat, then spurted thin streams of flame out.
