“You won’t escape!”
Zhao Yunxiao shouted, just about to chase after her, but was held back by a fist from an earth monster.
“Damn it!”
She lunged backward, at the same time, grabbed a spear and gathered her strength, then threw it fiercely in the direction the Lord of the Black Sun had gone!
“Swish…!”
The long spear ripped through the air, making a piercing friction sound while flying.
In an instant, it was right in front of the Black Sun Lord.
The Black Sun Lord swung around, grabbed the spear, and said coldly, “The inherited weapon of the Zhao Family, haha…”
“If you Zhao family people deem dying on the battlefield an honor, then die today!”
A series of eerie screams suddenly rang through the air.
I saw hundreds of differently shaped soul beasts pouring out of this group of people, viciously charging at Zhao Yunxiao and Pu Jia.
As for her, she turned around and quickly ran into the underground passage!
“Damn it!”
Zhao Yunxiao cursed, grabbing a sword and cutting off the earth monster’s hand with a backhand slash! “Captain! We’re here to help you!”
“Captain, we’re here!”
“Kill them!”
Remaining few guards ran over. Zhao Yunxiao yelled, “These soul beasts are mere humans under a spell. Control them if you can!”
“Why?”
Just as Xiao Ding was about to cast a spell, Zhao Yunxiao interrupted him.
Zhao Yunxiao said, “These soul beasts are condensed from civilian souls. If dispersed, these souls will immediately shatter. Without a doubt, they will die!”
“Then what do we do, Captain?”
“Find a way to control them! Or try to wake them up.” “If that doesn’t work, then choose to kill them, understood?”
“Boom!”
On the other side, Pu Jia collided with the earth monster again.
This time, he kept retreating, looking particularly defeated.
He was severely injured in the battle with the Black Sun Lord.
Now, clashing head-on with the earth monster has only made his injuries worse.
Zhao Yunxiao dove into the fray, “Let’s gang up to kill the earth monster first!”
“Director is over with Zhixue. She will definitely be fine!”
“Leave these soul beasts to you guys!”
“This… is!”
The guards looked uneasy, but they could only dodge the attacks of the soul beasts as best they could.
If they really couldn’t dodge, then they counterattacked.
But these soul beasts didn’t flinch at common attacks; they continued to pounce on the guards and ferociously bite them.
This caused the guards to tremble with their minds greatly shocked, suffering severe headaches as they continued to retreat in a disorderly manner.
Although elemental attacks like fire, lightning, and wind could hurt the soul beasts, Zhao Yunxiao has ordered otherwise.
So, the guards had to hold back, constantly dodging.
However, some were driven to desperation, disregarding Zhao Yunxiao’s order and fiercely counterattacked the soul beasts!
“These people are followers of the evil god, their minds have been twisted.
Even if we save them, it’s useless!”
“Kill! Kill them!”
“Kill all these soul beasts!”
“Captain Zhao! I’m here to help you too!”
At this point, Zheng Cheng finally arrived on the battlefield.
Pu Jia, Zhao Yunxiao, the earth monster, and the golden beast were all Level 69 powerhouses.
What can he, a mere Level 6 Professionist, do?
Not to mention the Lord of the Black Sun, who is only one step away from Epic Level.
So he was always assisting from the edge.
“Boom!”
The ground violently shook again, a surge darted towards him, Zheng Cheng hurriedly dodged.
“Ambush!”
Zheng Cheng cursed under his breath, and then, without warning, an Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique was cast on the earth monster.
“Gurgh…”
The earth monster’s figure paused for a moment, but it seemed to have been resisted.
“It’s effective!”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes brightened; he took out a Bloodthirsty Wand and another Bloodthirsty Technique was quickly launched.
“Roar…!”
The Earth Monster let out an enraged roar, its eyes filled with craziness.
Ignoring its wide-open middle, it struck another furious punch towards Pu Jia.
Pu Jia spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, roared, “Bloodthirst spell! Damn! Which bastard applied a buff to the enemy…”
“Pfft…!”
Before he could finish his sentence, the Earth Monster staggered again.
Its legs clamped together, but it couldn’t hold it in.
As its body trembled, a large lump of farm manure sprayed out.
Together with it, a thick stream of fresh blood.
The monstrous pain of its rectum being ripped apart made the Earth Monster instantly scream, its burly body stood rigidly in place, daring not to move at all.
Its legs trembled violently as it gasped for air desperately, trying to bear the extreme pain in its lower body.
Pu Jia’s eyes widened in surprise, then he shouted, “Holy crap! You can combine skills .
Zheng Cheng said, “Old Jia, who did you just call a bastard!”
“I am, I am the bastard!”
Pu Jia burst into laughter, and another mouthful of fresh blood squirted out.
He picked up his spiked mace and smashed it down onto the Earth Monster’s head.
Zhao Yunxiao’s figure also flickered, transforming his sword into a bolt of lightning, stabbing straight at the Earth Monster’s throat!
“Damn! Brat, I’m going to kill you!”
The Earth Monster roared in anger, and the surrounding earth instantly surged up in front of it, blocking Zhao Yunxiao’s direct stab. But Pu Jia’s spiked mace sent it flying directly!
“Die!”
Pu Jia picked up his spiked mace and chased after it, smashing down without hesitation!
Zhao Yunxiao let out a sigh of relief, but his eyes remained extremely cautious. “Zheng Cheng, do you have a way to save these civilians?”
Zhao Yunxiao said with a grim face, “After all, they are poor people bewitched by the Lord of the Black Sun. If possible, we should try to save as many as we can!”
Zheng Cheng asked, “How would you save them?”
“Very simple, kill the Lord of the Black Sun.” Zhao Yunxiao said: “As long as we kill the Lord of the Black Sun, her natural ability will dissipate, and these soul beasts controlled by her can return to their bodies.”
“Then you go kill her.”
Zhao Yunxiao glared at him and said, “There’s another way, which is to try to wake them up.”
“Wake them up? What do you mean?”
Zhao Yunxiao explained, “These soul beasts are transformed from the souls of civilians. But they haven’t really died, and the body inherently has a strong attraction to the soul.”
“As long as we find a way to awaken their bodies, they can reabsorb their souls.”
“Of course, there will be some sequelae once the souls extracted by the Lord of the Black Sun return to their bodies.’
“What sequelae?” “Becoming an idiot? Or perhaps a mental illness?”
“You call these some?”
“Buzz…”
Just as they were talking, a huge soul force suddenly rushed over from a distance and directly entered Zheng Cheng’s body.
“What happened?”
Zhao Yunxiao was stunned for a moment. She reached out her hand and the Silver Dragon Spear in the distance transformed into a beam of light and was caught in her hand.
Zheng Cheng’s expression was a bit strange, and he said in bewilderment, “It seems… I leveled up?”
He took a look at his level, and sure enough, he had reached Level 9 (12450/10000).
His soul force was full, but he couldn’t level up due to the existence of the break-through task.
Once he completed the break-through task and rose to Level 10, he could immediately learn new skills!
“You directly reached Level 9?”
“Shui Ling, she’s dead.”
Zhao Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief, “I thought something happened. Isn’t it just the death of a Fallen One?”
Zheng Cheng was even more puzzled, “Yes, Shui Ling is a Fallen One, but she’s also a professionist. She should have died from my Void Fire Incineration Technique.”
“But how could killing a professionist drop soul force?”
“If it really was so, wouldn’t the whole world be in chaos?”
Zhao Yunxiao glanced at him and said, “It’s true that Shui Ling is a professionist, but she also has another identity…”
Zheng Cheng hesitated, “A reincarnate?”
Zhao Yunxiao nodded, “Yes.”
“Any professionist who uses items related to ancestry to reincarnate into a half-Different Race lineage would be considered half a Different Race.”
“Kill them, and professionists can obtain soul force!”
“So that’s how it is…”
Zheng Cheng was enlightened, “Shui Ling who was at Level 69 died by my hands and directly leveled me up to Level 9!”
“And your break-through task?” Zhao Yunxiao asked, “What is your break-through task?”
Zheng Cheng replied, “Break-through task Piercing Light of Life..”
