After a moment's thought, Xia Tianqiong gave the order: "Preserve all the corpses in the city. If we can leave this world within seven days, we'll use this method to resurrect as mutants."
The Infant Tree frowned slightly. "We only have a little over a thousand Infant Fruits in stock right now, which is far from enough."
Xia Tianqiong withdrew his gaze, his expression resolute. "I will find a way to leave this world as soon as possible. When that time comes, you will go to Xiao Tao's Ghost Realm and use time to accelerate the cultivation of enough Infant Fruits."
The delivery guy then interjected, "After these people are saved, what should we do with them? Recruit them? Or release them?"
Xia Tianqiong glanced at the curious gazes around him and said calmly, "We will build an army of mutants. Of course, if anyone is unwilling to stay, we will not force them. Those who are willing to stay will be paid and provided with accommodation in the chessboard world."
The onlookers were astonished to hear that the dead could come back to life, and their grief was greatly relieved.
After all, many people come here with friends and family, and it's upsetting for anyone to die here.
Now that's good, being able to be resurrected and even become a very strong mutant seems like a good thing.
Suddenly someone shouted.
"Look outside! The monster army is coming again, and there's a huge flying one too."
Xia Tianqiong immediately arrived at the edge of the floating city, looked up, and was immediately taken aback.
"It's the King of Desire! Well, that's good, saves me the trouble of going looking for him."
A massive, dark army of lustful demons swept in, their numbers multiplying several times over, roughly estimated at 100,000.
A huge figure floated above the army.
He was nearly three meters tall, carrying a large, golden sword on his shoulder, with the sword sheath under his feet.
It was that scabbard that carried the giant through the air.
With just one glance, Xia Tianqiong knew that this person was the Desire King that the Empress had mentioned.
"You all guard the floating city, I'm going to meet him."
He gave a brief explanation and then set off on his wolf-like steed.
Countless people watched his lonely figure and couldn't help but feel moved.
One man faces an enemy force of 100,000—what a breathtaking scene!
A true man of passion should have such spirit!
Some people became more and more excited as they watched, wishing they could join in.
However, reason told them that if they didn't want to die, they should stay put; not everyone can be a hero.
"Go for it, kill them!"
It's unclear who uttered those words, but it was like igniting a powder keg in an instant.
Then tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, "Go! Kill them!"
Wolf Ghost carried Xia Tianqiong along the pile of bones toward the shore. When they reached the shallows, they heard a deafening shout behind them.
Xia Tianqiong looked back, waved, and continued walking.
As they drew closer, they gradually came to see the appearance of the King of Desire.
He was an incredibly handsome man, with fair and delicate skin, a high nose bridge, red lips and white teeth, and a perfectly rounded jawline.
Even the curve of his lips was just right, handsome with a hint of devilish charm.
Xia Tianqiong was sizing him up, and he was also observing Xia Tianqiong.
The King of Desire suddenly spoke, his voice magnetic, "This world does not welcome men; all men deserve to die."
Before Xia Tianqiong could reply, he suddenly made his move.
He held the knife in both hands and slashed through the air from a distance of more than ten meters.
A semi-circular golden beam shot out, tearing the space in its wake with fine cracks.
Xia Tianqiong's eyes narrowed, sensing that the momentum of this strike was even stronger than that of the Saintess Sword.
Without him having to react, Wolf Demon simply shifted several steps to the side, avoiding the path of the golden blade light.
But then, the King of Desire swung his sword a second time, a third time... and a dozen times in a row.
The golden blade light seemed to weave a large net, leaving no place to hide.
Xia Tianqiong released the power of reincarnation from a distance, sweeping towards the Desire King.
At the same time, he jumped off the wolf's back, dodging left and right, successfully avoiding most of the blades.
But he was still struck in the shoulder by a flash of light.
Instantly, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the collarbone was exposed.
He didn't stop, continuing to charge towards the Desire King, while glancing at the wound and finding it was deeper than the damage caused by the Saintess Sword.
This indicates that the King of Desire's attack power is stronger than that of the Queen.
He secretly resolved that he must finish this quickly.
Looking again at the King of Desire, the power of reincarnation swept out, and the scabbard beneath his feet suddenly emitted a golden light, blocking the power of reincarnation from the outside.
However, it did not completely block it; a small amount of reincarnation power still rushed in and successfully struck the head of the Desire King.
The king immediately rolled his eyes and fell from the sky.
However, after landing, he shook his head and got up again.
Xia Tianqiong immediately understood what was going on when she saw this scene.
The King of Desire has a stronger attack than the Queen, but his defense is much weaker.
He had already rushed to the front, unleashing a large amount of reincarnation power with his left hand to surround the Desire King, while his right hand swung a punch.
The King of Desire held his sword, ready to strike, but his mind was suddenly struck by the power of reincarnation, causing his soul to tremble and fall into a brief state of disorientation.
The next instant, a fist came crashing down, striking him squarely in the chest.
Xia Tianqiong didn't want to hit his head, but the other person was too tall, only reaching his chest.
A cracking sound followed!
A large hole was smashed into the chest of the Desire King, but instead of blood and flesh flying everywhere, there were countless pink bone fragments scattered all over the place.
At the same time, the king's handsome appearance vanished instantly, revealing his skeletal form.
"Ah! What kind of technique is this? How did you manage to break through my golden light defense?"
The king roared angrily and retreated continuously.
He tried to create distance, then swung his knife to attack.
But Xia Tianqiong didn't give him a chance at all, chasing after him and punching him repeatedly, leaving the skeleton broken all over.
"Damn it, my men, come and save me!"
The King of Desire roared, and the army of demons behind him immediately surged forward like a tidal wave.
"Come on, kill as many as you come."
Xia Tianqiong also roared, causing a large amount of reincarnation power to swirl around his body.
As soon as the lustful demon gets close, it will immediately shatter the soul.
The Desire King was also affected, but the golden light emanating from the scabbard blocked most of the power of reincarnation, so the damage to him was very limited.
He kept retreating and swinging his sword, most of which Xia Tianqiong dodged. Occasionally, he would be hit, but even that couldn't stop his advance.
Gradually, the skeleton's body was riddled with holes and teetering on the verge of collapse.
Suddenly, the King of Desire had one leg broken and immediately fell to the ground.
Xia Tianqiong seized the opportunity, turning his fist into a palm and covering the crown of the Desire King's head.
This method of applying the power of reincarnation so close to the head is absolutely capable of killing the opponent.
Just then, the Desire King cried out, "Don't kill me! If you kill me, you will become me!"
Xia Tianqiong was slightly taken aback and immediately stopped attacking.
Bizarre scenes all have unique rules governing the universe, so it's entirely possible that the situation described by the King of Desire truly exists.
Seeing that he did not attack immediately, the Desire King hurriedly explained, "I was once like you, from the outside world. It was because I killed the previous Desire King that I became this ghostly figure. Look at my bones, you don't want to become like this, do you?"
