Those Thieves with a maximum strength of six levels were no match for Zhou Tiancheng, who was only half a step away from becoming a semi-sage expert. Zhou Tiancheng brandished his sword and the arms of the Thief were continuously sent flying in the air.

Zhou Tiancheng didn't pursue them. Instead, he and Du Yu carried the two warriors, who had their hands chopped off and were still screaming, back to their respective groups.

Returning to the group, Zuo Ye had already set up a simple tent. Zhou Tiancheng and Du Yu carried the four captives into the tent and knocked out the four still howling captives. Then, Du Yu immediately walked out to guard the entrance of the tent, leaving behind only Zuo Ye and Zhou Tiancheng.

"Do you remember the method I explained to you two nights ago?" Zuo Ye asked Zhou Tiancheng.

"Yes!" "I'll remember it," Zhou Tiancheng said.

"Then test it on this guy," Zuo Ye said, pointing to a prisoner on the ground.

"Yes sir!" Zhou Tiancheng immediately placed his hand on the head of a Fifth Grade Warrior who had fainted. Then, a white light flashed on Zhou Tiancheng's hand, and only after a long while did the white light disappear. Only after a while did Zhou Tiancheng retract his hand with a look of pleasant surprise, "I've really succeeded. My soul force has increased by a certain degree."

"Yes." This is your first time actually using this method, and it will take too long for you to master it. You only absorbed 30% of the soul power of a Level 5 Warrior, so the rest of the rights are wasted, "Zuo Ye said as he looked at Bast who was lying unconscious on the ground and said," Don't absorb this guy, it would be too much of a waste. "It's a pity that one of his hands was cut off. Otherwise, I could have considered taking him in as a Ringwraith."

"Yes sir!" Zhou Tiancheng had no objection to Zuo Ye's arrangement.

"En," Zuo Ye sighed and said, "There are three warriors of the fifth step here, I will absorb one for you."

After saying that, Zuo Ye put his hand on a Level 5 Warrior's head and a white light flashed. After a while, Zuo Ye retracted his hand and said, "I can only absorb 50%. It seems like I have less practice. I need to find a chance to practice more. Alright, absorb the remaining two. "

"Yes sir!" Zhou Tiancheng immediately began to absorb it.

Seeing Zhou Tian Cheng absorbing the food, Zuo Ye couldn't help but swallow his saliva. This was just like how a hungry person would look at someone else eating a delicious meal. If Zhou Tian Cheng didn't need to absorb a lot to reach the Saint level, then Zuo Ye wouldn't have allowed Zhou Tian Cheng to absorb the food.

It had to be said that Zuo Ye had already fallen deeply in love with this evil cultivation method of absorbing the soul power of others to strengthen his own soul.

Not long later, Zuo Ye and Zhou Tiancheng walked out from the tent. Du Yu, who had been standing guard at the door, noticed that Zhou Tian Cheng's aura had become even more powerful and violent. The current Zhou Tian Cheng gave people the idea of fleeing far away from this evil god.

"What's the situation with the Thieves?" Zhou Tiancheng said in a greedy tone.

"They're still in a defensive formation," Du Yu said respectfully. "I've already eliminated the cavalry soldiers, so long as they surround them and cut off their retreat path …"

At this moment, the sound of large groups of people advancing could be heard from behind.

"It's the infantry unit." Zhou Tian Cheng immediately affirmed after hearing the sound, "After resting, we'll attack the enemy. Remember! Catch more survivors. "

Although Zhou Tian Cheng really wanted to absorb the souls of the Thieves immediately, he still gave the order for the infantry to heal before attacking.

"Report!" A soldier came to Du Yu and said, "Reporting to the brigade leader! Our two thousand five hundred infantry have arrived. "

"Alright!" Du Yu said, "Order the infantry to rest for a moment, then immediately throw themselves into the purge."

"Yes sir!"

• • • A quarter of an hour later, the Three Thousand Holy Dragon Empire's regular army attacked more than a thousand of the Tri-Light Thieves. The infantry advanced against their steel shields, while the archers behind them released their arrows in an orderly fashion. In comparison, the threat posed by the scattered arrows of the chaotic Thieves after Bast's death could be ignored by the regular army.

Soon enough, the infantry reached the Thieves' line of defense. Some of the Thieves were holding their long spears, while others were holding their long spears, while others were holding their spears. Some of them were holding their swords, while some of them were holding their weapons as they charged into the crowd of Thieves to kill them. At the same time, both Zuo Ye and Zhou Tiancheng, who were born Demon Warriors, unleashed large-scale offensive magic one after another.

Thieves were a motley crowd after all. Usually, they could rely on their numbers to rob merchants, but against regular troops that lacked strict cooperation and division of labour, they could only rely on one side to defeat them.

The robber had been much better trained by Bast than the other thieves, but after Bast's capture, the thieves had been distracted, defeated by the regular army's ferocious attacks and the magic attacks of Zuo Zhong and Zhou Tiancheng in a matter of moments. Numerous thieves had fled in all directions shouting, infantrymen had taken advantage of the opportunity to kill them, and cavalry had dispersed to form units to pursue them. The battle had ended quickly, and the soldiers had moved back and forth on the battlefield, checking to see if there were any survivors.

One by one, the captured thieves were brought to the outside of the tent. Du Yu handed the task of cleaning the battlefield and chasing the fleeing thieves to his two vice generals and personally led his personal guards to stand guard outside of Zhou Tian Cheng's tent.

After a while, Zhou Tian Sheng would call out to Du Yu to go in, and then Du Yu would lead his men in and bring a pile of bodies out. Then he would bring a group of unconscious prisoners back to the tent, where Du Yu would once again withdraw with his personal guards, waiting for Zhou Tian Cheng's next summons to go in and clean up the bodies … After patrolling the battlefield with his black bamboo hat, Zuo Ye returned to the edge of the tent.

In a forest not too far away from the tent, over a hundred captives were being escorted by a group of soldiers to Zhou Tian Cheng's tent for them to absorb their souls.

Zuo Ye came to the place where the prisoners were being escorted. The officer in charge of guarding the captives came up to Zuo Ye and greeted him respectfully, "Mr. Zuo!"

"Yes!" Zuo Ye nodded. "How many prisoners are there?"

"There are two hundred and thirty-two of them, but fifty have already been taken away by the brigade commander," said the officer in charge.

"Hm!" "Huh?!" Why are there women here? " Zuo Ye pointed at the women among the captives.

"The women and the mercenaries here were caught by the thieves when they were robbing the caravan," the officer in charge said. "The ones on this side are the thieves' prisoners."

"Sir!" "My Lord!" At this time, the captured mercenaries all shouted to Zuo Ye, "We are not thieves! We are not thieves! We were captured, we are mercenaries! "

"We have the mercenary's certificate!"

"We …"

Zuo Ye did not even look at these people. After all, these people were mercenaries who were responsible for protecting the caravan, but they chose to surrender when they met a thief. Moreover, they were destined to be devoured by Zhou Tian Cheng's soul, so Zuo Ye did not bother to pay attention to these ants.

However, just as Zuo Ye was about to leave, he suddenly saw two girls of about eighteen or nineteen in the crowd. However, just as Zuo Ye was about to leave, he suddenly saw two girls of about eighteen or nineteen in the crowd.

When Zuo Ye saw the twins, their eyes were red and swollen, and there were still tears on their faces.

"Bring them here," Zuo Ye said, pointing to the twins.

"Yes sir!" The officer in charge immediately gave the order to the surrounding soldiers, and two soldiers immediately went over to bring the twin sisters in front of Zuo Ye.

"What's your name?" Zuo Ye asked.

"My name is Lu Xin, this is my sister Lu Yan," a young girl said.

"Yes." Where do you live? Do you have any other relatives? " Zuo Ye asked again.

"We live in the county city of Northwatch, in the province of Holy Shield. This time, we are moving to Holy Dragon City with Father," Lu Xin said. "But Father was killed on the way."

After Lu Xin finished speaking, she couldn't help but cry.

"Sigh!" Zuo Ye sighed and said, "It's really pitiful. Bring them back to the army camp first. In the future, when you have time, send them back to the Northern Province's Yubei County."

"Yes sir!" The officer in charge had originally thought that Zuo Ye was interested in women, but upon hearing Zuo Ye's words, he could not help but feel a sense of respect. He immediately gave a military salute to Zuo Ye.

Of course, Zuo Ye did this mainly because the two women's soul powers were very weak. However, they looked pretty good. So they died in such a way that made them a little bit prideful.

After arranging the path for the twin sisters, Zuo Ye continued to walk towards the simple tent. Du Yu had heavily guarded the perimeter of the tent, but Zuo Ye still arrived in front of the tent without any obstructions.

"Yes!" Zuo Ye lightly nodded to Du Yu and then walked into the tent.

Inside the tent, Zhou Tian Zhen was absorbing the soul of an unconscious thief. The white light on Zhou Tian Cheng's hand flickered, but the light was much dimmer than when Zhou Tian Cheng had absorbed the soul at the start.

"En, not bad!" "You've made significant progress. Now that you can absorb 50% of a unit's soul force, you've made significant progress. Continue working hard," Zuo Ye said.

"Yes sir!" After Zhou Tian Cheng finished absorbing the Rogue's soul, he stopped and respectfully said to Zuo Ye, "I feel like my soul has reached the peak of rank 9, I should be able to break through after absorbing a little more."

"Yes." Good! Then continue, "Zuo Ye said," I'll go out and look around again, I hope I'll get the good news of your complete promotion when I get back later. After all, he's a Level 8 Warrior, and his soul force is much stronger than that of an ordinary Thief, so the probability of him breaking through in one try would be much greater. "

"Yes sir!" Zhou Tiancheng immediately acknowledged the order.

Zuo Ye, on the other hand, walked out of the tent again and went on a tour around the area. Zuo Ye could have stayed, but in order to avoid the temptation to absorb souls, he didn't have to watch others suck at least as long as he walked far away.
