The explosion happened because of the backlash Sam forcefully caused and the commander, who is a young Naga couldn’t help but take the original form to defend his best, he still couldn’t completely defend it and he received serious damage.
His chest was blasted to smithereens. One can even see the chest bones.
Sam finished off the ten soldiers surrounding him with the reaper in one hand and the executioner in another hand.
It has been a long time since he used the executioner, but the blade is still great. All this while, the reason he didn’t use is that the weapon’s grade was way past his, but now they are both on the same level and it is about time he fed the blade with the nourishment it needs blood.
The executioner also has a special trait, the corrosion effect, the wound caused by the blade wouldn’t be easily resolved by blocking the blood flow with spiritual energy because it is impossible to block it. The spiritual energy, blood, flesh, muscles, fat, cloths, no matter what came into contact with the blade and the slashed area it is corroding.
Sam didn’t go for the explosion regions, instead, he first directly went to the base camp that is still in chaos. He jumped into the frenzy and started slaying everyone around.
Soon, due to his slaughter, many people calmed down and started attacking Sam.
There are some people affected by the energy wave caused by the backlash, they are Sam’s first targets.
Almost half of the group are eliminated before they could calm down and all of them either had their head severed or the hearts pierced. Everyone died in a single shot.
The remaining fifty are ganging up on Sam, but he didn’t even blink his eye, but what they didn’t see is that two bee puppets are silently flying towards them and soon the situation turned chaotic once more. The sniping of bee puppets couldn’t be taken lightly.
After cutting through all his opponents, Sam finally arrived at the commander’s table. He is unconscious due to loss of blood. The pre-transcendent stage, even though it is of the initial stage still saves him.
Wood elemental energy started seeping out of his body and trying its best to heal the wounds. But due to his unconsciousness, this instinctive effort of his subconscious is not working.
Sam called a puppet over and forcefully made the commander sit up.
The puppet came from the back and all of a sudden the limbs of the puppet extended with flexible metallic tubes and coiled around the commander in many turns.
His arms and legs are completely bound and the sharp limbs that acted as the tips of this flexible metallic tube suddenly pierced into the commander’s body ignoring the scales and going through them directly.
A metal limb even pierced straight into his chest and stopped a few millimeters away from his heart.
The formations of the puppet are activated and a lot of anesthetic drugs are released from the tips.
Even though Nagas are immune to most poisons, most of the herbs of this drug cannot be considered as poison, so there might be some effect.
At the same time, the formation of the puppet that held is closely sealing his cultivation. Since there is no resistance, this is the best Sam could think of for now.
But he wasn’t really assured. He took out the chair that was used to hold the tower heads in Sam’s city during their execution and made him sit on that, before activating the chair.
The man couldn’t sit properly because of the puppet handing on the back, but it is still okay as long as the seal is activated.
Sam didn’t wait anymore. Since his main mission is done, it is about time to clear the rest of the group. He should take down as many as possible before he leaves this place.
After all, the news travels fast. He made a quick round on the harbinger and this time, he is not slow at all. He is super-fast and finished the whole scouting an hour.
After that, he came back to the camp to see the commander who is barely getting alive but slowly getting better, before he took him back or got caught going back, Sam decided to settle one more thing and that is his cultivation breakthrough.
Sam couldn’t hold on anymore.
It has been a little over six months, but he couldn’t sustain the pressure, but the beasts couldn’t come out normally.
He laid down a formation disc and created a sealed place. He started concentrated his energy as he gathered the air in the formation towards his hands and started creating a vacuum
Soon, the air turned concentrated enough to leave a vacuum all over the formation and the air being a concentrated ball of gas in his hands and remnants surrounding his body, there is some sort of weird reaction from his body that he couldn’t put his finger on.
But he knew it is dangerous, so he immediately forced this ball of air in a space jade and took some other space jades and cracked them.
After cracking more than dozen or so space jades, the air pressure increased, and the oxygen-filled the formation back.
Sam took a deep breath and calmed the abnormality in his body down. He would think about that later.
He let out all his beasts and started sharing the energy with them. Since they are on the border of this level for far too long, they didn’t take long to breakthrough and the formation was destroyed. Before the beasts could get exposed to the surroundings, Sam let them back inside the divine dimension, and finally, he could relax.
He noticed that his strength exceeded by leaps and bounds.
He is super strong, maybe he could even try to take on someone in the first stage of the Pre-transcendent stage. But he had to make some critical blows to make them any significant to them. Those critical hits would be normal blows for that realm.
He didn’t think too much and carried this guy along with the chair on his back and zoomed on the harbinger.
He went on full speed and he reached the vicinities of the camp in an hour.
Sam looked at the commander and couldn’t feel sure that he would be safe. He rummaged through the pills of the Old One and finally found some high-level sleeping pills.
These pills would definitely be effective on him, in fact, they might be too effective so he only gave half of the pill and shoved it down his throat, before unlocking the puppet and the chair.
He carried him on his shoulder and stored the harbinger away before running to the camp at full speed.
He didn’t even stop at the battalion camp and directly ran towards the command center where the regiment commander is sitting.
He stopped outside the command center and dropped the enemy commander down and just stood there without speaking anything.
Soon, the soldiers and company commanders all gathered around him, the battalion commanders and the regiment commander are all having a meeting at this moment.
Even they observed the commotion and started coming out.
When they saw the body in front of them with the red scales and blasted out chest, they all were stunned on the spot even Yodha is dumbfounded. He is still waiting for Sam to come back running, but he actually caught someone.
And when he observed the face of the catch, he was even more shocked, because he knew the person. He is a peer and can be considered a rival. He is the same as him in terms of military rank and cultivation.
They often competed and so they knew each other, but he didn’t expect Sam would get him back here.
Then that only means one thing, the commanders are all swallowing hard, particularly the regiment commander, he doesn’t know how Sam did it, but he went alone and caught a Pre-transcendent cultivator and brought him back alive.
He went into an enemy camp of more than five hundred people all alone and still came back with the commander as a prisoner.
"I am here to submit the mission and take rewards," Sam said nonchalantly.
"Come in and give a report of the situation." The regiment commander replied.
Sam walked behind him and one of the senior battalion commanders restrained the prisoner.
After entering the tent, the regiment commander asked.
"What happened? How did you do it?"
"I cannot reveal the methods. I can only show the results." Sam replied bluntly. No matter where it is no cultivator can force another person to say their secrets, even in the military.
The regiment commander changed the question. "what is the position of the forest?"
"Cleared."
Everyone turned silent at the answer. One of them even cleared their years as if they thought they might have heard wrongly and the regiment commander asked once again, this time Sam answer with more details and some evidence.
With a wave of his hands, a large pile of heads was laid down on the floor and a single body with his upper body blasted away. The pile of heads flowed out of the tent entrance and gave off some really nasty view.
"Total of five hundred and twenty-one nascent stage cultivators. All cleared. Estimated escapees are around twenty to thirty people. The current status of the forest might be being investigated by the enemy camp."
