When Li Chengfeng shouted 'I'll go', he heard the same thing. He turned to see Zhao Feiyue looking at him too. He immediately said, "No!"
Zhao Feiyue said in unison, "No!"
Both of them were stunned. Even in such a critical situation, Long Tenghai smiled. "This is a critical situation, it's not something one person can handle."
Li Chengfeng immediately said to Zhao Feiyue, "Let's go together!"
Zhao Feiyue's cheeks turned red. She clenched her fist and held the Sky River Divine Sword in her hand. Her eyes seemed to be shining. "We can fight side by side again!"
Long Tenghai and Gao Shenghan were stunned for a moment, then relieved.
Long Tenghai said to them, "This battle concerns the safety of the world, I hope Your Highness and Lord Li will return victorious!"
Li Chengfeng nodded and turned to look at the battlefield, his expression extremely solemn.
At this time, both sides were stunned by the sudden change. The soldiers who were still fighting each other unconsciously separated. They looked at the black pillar of air that rose into the sky in shock. The soldiers who were closer were even swept up into the sky by the pillar of air. They twisted and struggled in the air, but were dragged into the black pillar of air by the countless vengeful spirits of the dead.
As soon as these terrifying undead came into contact with the soldiers, the flesh and blood of these soldiers began to rot. Their originally firm muscles began to rot like rotten tomatoes. Their eyeballs fell out of their eye sockets, and their crimson blood turned black and smelly. Their souls howled as they were dragged out of their decaying bodies by the undead. They let out mournful cries and became one of the countless undead. Then, they became nourishment for the undead to rapidly grow stronger.
The black pillar of air grew larger as it devoured the lives around it. The further it spread, the more soldiers it devoured.
When the soldiers saw the pillar of air devour lives without differentiating between friend and foe, and it continued to grow, they were all terrified. Their morale collapsed and they frantically fled in all directions.
The battlefield was in chaos. With the black pillar of air as the centre, the morale of the soldiers on both sides was visibly collapsing. They wanted to escape but there were too many people and corpses. The moment they tried to run, there would be people crowding around them. The corpses piled up like a mountain. Those who were too close could not escape and were quickly devoured.
The terrified soldiers were completely gutted. No matter how the officers around them scolded them, they ignored them. Some even picked up their swords to hack at their comrades who blocked their way.
Just when the situation seemed hopeless, suddenly there was a loud bang in the sky, and a golden light descended from the sky. Everyone looked up subconsciously and saw a white figure holding a sharp golden sword, wrapped in lightning, plunging into the center of the black pillar of air from above!
The black pillar of air twisted violently the moment it was plunged in. Then everyone found that the rotation speed of the black pillar of air suddenly stopped, and the wailing souls also froze. The huge pillar of air suddenly became a huge cylindrical relief. Whether it was the soldiers who were dragged in and had not been completely corroded in mid-air, or the countless withered arms and sharp claws that stretched out from the black gas, they were all frozen in the air, motionless. Their postures and expressions were all different. Ferocious, fearful, sad, sorrowful, angry, it was like the Wall of Sighs from hell.
The soldiers nearby stared blankly at the huge "stone pillar". Some of the bolder ones stretched out their trembling hands, trying to touch the hands of their comrades who were being pulled in. But before they could touch the hands, they heard a loud shout from above, "Stop!!"
Suddenly, a thick vine stretched out from the ground, quickly pulling away the soldiers who were trying to save their comrades. Some of these soldiers were pulled away in a daze, while others struggled with all their might, crying and shouting to save their comrades and brothers. However, they soon saw the vines rapidly growing and climbing up the bodies of their comrades, trying to pull them down. However, as soon as these green vines touched the bodies of these contaminated soldiers, they were immediately contaminated as well. The green and strong vines rotted and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Some of the vines that came into contact with the undead even had their vitality directly sucked out, turning into grayish-black withered branches that would shatter on the spot with a light touch.
Only then did the soldiers come to their senses. They retreated in shock and turned to look at the person who had spoken just now. They saw a ridiculously young man carrying a long spear on his back and a long sword in his hand. He was floating in the air.
At this time, the countless vines, branches, insects, and flying ants in the field began to grow rapidly. They were nourished by the flesh and blood of the soldiers, and their reproduction rate increased exponentially. In just a few moments, they had formed a huge tide of trees and insects. They surged towards the soldiers on both sides, pulling the living soldiers out of the pile of corpses and separating them from the black 'pillar'.
Li Chengfeng was mobilizing his immortal energy to pull the soldiers away from the 'stone pillar' that was constantly devouring lives when he heard two excited voices flying towards him.
"Senior Brother, I'm here!"
"Young Master, I'm here!"
Li Chengfeng turned and glared at them. "Go back!
Is this a place you can come to?! "
Han Tianxing and Xiaobao, who were in high spirits, paused at his words and stopped begrudgingly.
Li Chengfeng raged, "Take them away!
Now! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a few golden rays suddenly shot out from the black "stone pillar". They pierced through the middle like sharp swords, slicing the "stone pillar" into a dozen pieces. These pieces were slowly being separated, and the people around could see a white-clothed woman with fluttering clothes pinching her fingers. Beside her was a longsword that was constantly emitting golden light.
Within the area enveloped by the golden light, time seemed to stop. The white-clothed woman's fluttering long hair was frozen in the air. Her clothes, long hair, face, and expression were all frozen in the golden light. The countless vengeful spirits that were pouncing at her were also frozen in the golden light.
At this moment, in everyone's eyes, she was like a deity descending from the heavens to save those in distress and to sacrifice herself to save others!
"Go!"
Li Chengfeng turned to roar at Han Tianxing and Xiaobao who were still in a daze, scaring them into pouncing at the officers around them, telling them to lead the soldiers away quickly.
However, these officers were following orders. Even a blind idiot would know they should retreat but no one dared to do so without the Soaring Dragon Navy's orders.
Fortunately, the gong sounded. When the officers heard this, they immediately regrouped their soldiers in an orderly fashion and prepared to retreat.
The black 'stone pillar' was being cut wider and wider by the golden light. Li Chengfeng could already see a giant black tumor pulsating rhythmically within, its entire body glowing with extremely slow light.
This tumor itself was extremely powerful, even able to resist the Sky River Divine Sword's power!
"Looks like this is its true form!
And it looks like it's nurturing something! "
When the tumor glowed to its brightest, Li Chengfeng could vaguely see the outline of a human curled up inside.
Li Chengfeng made up his mind and was about to charge forward with the Sky Splitter Sword in hand when he heard an explosion in the sky. A bolt of heavenly lightning struck the tumor and Zhao Feiyue together!
The lightning was so ferocious that it instantly swallowed the tumor and Zhao Feiyue!
