第三千四百零三章 千钧一发

"Bad, quickly seal the gap!"

The ghostly creature of the First Spirit Fragment level was both alarmed and angry. It hurriedly sent people to that side, wanting to drive the walking corpses off the city wall.

For a moment, the dark treasures flew everywhere, weapons darted about, and various colored light beams pierced through the sky.

In an instant, the walking corpses fell in large numbers.

However, while the reaction of the cultivators within the city was swift, how could the high-ranking existence leading the army of walking corpses outside not be prepared?

After much effort, they finally broke one禁制. Such a good opportunity couldn't be missed; those low-level walking corpses were merely cannon fodder to attract attention.

At this moment, a group of Cave Profound Spirit Fragment level ghostly creatures had rushed up, and similarly, their treasures came out in unison, fighting with the Apsara sect's forces on the city wall.

In terms of numbers, it was definitely more of the walking corpse army outside.

Previously, Mo'er's subordinates could barely hold off with the help of the禁制. Now that there was no protection from the禁制, close combat began, and they were defeated like a mountain collapsing.

But this was just the beginning. After taking control of this city wall, the opponent quickly launched attacks on other places'禁制.

Inside and out, breaking through such an array would be much easier.

In a short while, several more city walls fell to the enemy's attacks.

The walking corpses had already swarmed in large numbers, and although the ghostly creatures on the city wall fought desperately, they could no longer change their fate. The city was about to fall.

"Lord, if we continue like this, our entire army will be wiped out! Retreat and let the disciples withdraw!"

"Ahh!"

A loud cry of pain echoed as many Spirit Fragment level cultivators saw the situation worsening and began to hesitate.

"Be quiet. If you retreat now, the king is still in the city. If anything happens to him, you and I will die a thousand deaths. Order everyone to fight with all their might without sparing any resources until the king safely leaves this place; only then can we withdraw."

The speaker was an elderly man with white hair. He was also one of the highest-ranking cultivators in the city defenders, at late Spirit Fragment stage, and had reached the peak realm, just a thread away from transcending.

"Yes!"

Other Spirit Fragment level cultivators showed signs of shame. How could they forget about the king's safety? They hurriedly summoned their treasures and charged forward with all their might.

"Hahaha. Desperate struggle, you will all perish before me!"

A loud laughter entered his ears as a high-ranking walking corpse appeared in the sky, emitting a faint silvery glow.

Its power was terrifying; after several leaps, it killed two Spirit Fragment level ghostly creatures from Apsara's side.

This walking corpse had reached late Spirit Fragment stage. The cultivation technique it practiced was no ordinary one. It was invulnerable to weapons and possessed immense strength, making no one dare to directly confront its锋芒.

"Bad, a late Spirit Fragment level Corpse General!"

The ghostly creatures defending the city were greatly alarmed. Under this walking corpse's assault, their formation became even more chaotic.

That elderly man was furious. He flicked his sleeves, and two huge black and white flying swords appeared, flashing through the wind. Each grew to dozens of feet in size, drawing on the primordial energy of heaven and earth as they charged at the Corpse General from above.

Such a fierce attack naturally couldn't be ignored by the Corpse General. Amidst swirling dark energy, it spat out a purple corpse pearl that spun around, transforming into a white-tufted tiger to fight with the two black and white flying swords.

Both were late Spirit Fragment level ghostly creatures, their strength differing slightly but unable to determine a winner in the short term. They fought fiercely for a time.

Although the Corpse General's attack was blocked, outside the city, Jin Yue's Corpse King had far more high-ranking cultivators.

Apart from those of different realms, there were hundreds of Spirit Fragment level walking corpses. The scale was much larger than that within the city.

If the禁制 hadn't been broken, they could have compensated for this gap with the array's benefits. But without the help of the array, how could Apsara's subordinates withstand them?

They had already pledged their loyalty to Mo'er and were willing to risk life and death for the king's safety. But what use was that when the disparity in strength between both sides was so great?

Despite their desperate defense, they couldn't hold out. In a short while, the entire city wall of the immortal city was occupied by dense walking corpses.

Boom!

A loud sound echoed as the elderly man was knocked back and his two black and white flying swords lost their luster. Although he was also at late Spirit Fragment stage, his strength still fell short compared to that terrifying Corpse General.

As the highest-ranking cultivator in the city defenders, he had such a result; one can imagine the fate of the others.

The elderly man was severely injured and coughed up blood. The Corpse General naturally wouldn't let him go, revealing a sinister look as it fiercely lunged forward.

"Big Brother!"

Two Spirit Fragment level ghostly creatures nearby were alarmed. They wanted to save him but were also tightly held by two Corpse Zombies of the same rank, unable to help.

Just when he was about to perish, a bright green light streaked over at lightning speed, flying past with an unbelievable speed and meeting the black energy transformed by the Corpse General.

At first, the Corpse General didn't pay attention; another insignificant junior who knew nothing of the world.

He had been fighting smoothly all along. Naturally, he didn’t consider the person wrapped in that green light as anything to worry about.

A punch was delivered.

His cultivation technique focused on body refinement, and his hands were just as hard as those of any other Spirit Fragment level cultivator's treasure.

However, the green light did not dodge; it ignored the punch entirely, charging straight forward with a strong and domineering posture.

"Younger generation, seeking death!"

The Corpse General was furious.

But before he could finish speaking, he was swallowed by the dazzling green light, his mind went blank as his soul disintegrated completely.

A mere Spirit Fragment level ghostly creature actually dared to confront him head-on? Wasn't it crazy? Not only did its body perish, but even its essence failed to escape.

The entire process seemed complicated when described, but in reality, it was just a moment.

The elderly man survived the ordeal and showed signs of great joy. Turning his head, he looked at his savior.

However, upon seeing him, he was dumbfounded. The green light condensed, revealing a male and female figure.

The man was unremarkable, but the woman was stunningly beautiful.

"King, how did you end up here?"

The elderly man was both alarmed and delighted, quickly turning anxious as the city had already fallen; it was too dangerous for the king to stay there.

He took a deep breath, supporting his severely injured body. "I escorted Your Majesty out of this place; this place is far too dangerous."

"Dangerous?"

Lin Xuan laughed.

Raising his head, he looked at the densely packed walking corpses before him: "Just a bunch of noisy ants. With me here, what kind of storm can they stir up?"

Indeed, although the city had fallen, the high-ranking cultivators of the Transcending Realm had also been killed by him in large numbers. The remaining walking corpses were many but what use could they be?

The more ants there are, the harder it is to kill an elephant, right? But this was predicated on a significant difference in realm between both sides; otherwise, no matter how many people there were, they would be of little use.
