Chapter 544 – The Flames of the Phoenix (1/2)

That was the situation in the space the Hungry Ghost realm devoured.

Li Qingshan smiled and broke free from Hua Chengzan’s grasp, leaping into the dark world of death. Looking back, dark mist enshrouded his vision. He could not see Hua Chengzan anymore. He could not even sense the aura of the outside world anymore.

As his air drifted through the air, it turned scarlet. Northmoon appeared and gazed around with his scarlet eyes.

He and Xiao An both possessed spiritual artifacts for communication, which was why they could sense each other’s locations. However, under the influence of the Hungry Ghost realm, they were unable to sense anything.

Why didn’t Xiao An retreat?

As he pondered that, the black mist before him suddenly surged, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

A Corpse General riding a corpse horse rushed over with almost ten thousand Corpse Soldiers behind him. He was cloaked in corpse qi, making it almost impossible to see him. Only a pair of green eyes shone brilliantly as he raised the war hammer in his hand high into the air with bone-deep hatred for the living.

Corpse qi condensed into a black, colossal war hammer, slamming down heavily.

Earth was thrown into the air and a pit appeared on the ground, but Li Qingshan had already vanished.

The Corpse General was stunned. Suddenly, he raised his head and saw a huge figure descend from above, throwing a punch.

The surging corpse qi condensed into a huge, black shield before him.

Li Qingshan sneered. His fist landed on the shield, and the corpse qi shook and dispersed violently. His punch continued along the way, reducing the Corpse General and his horse to a pulp.

Hmm? Someone else has entered? It’s that half-daemon! If this person becomes a zombie, he’ll definitely be extremely powerful, but there seems to be some kind of power on him that repels the aura of death.

Zi’er stood in the centre of the land of death and studied the surrounding region of several hundred kilometers. She thought of that before deciding to kill the second heavenly tribulation cultivators first, especially that woman who controlled ghosts.

The Dark Queen’s face was sunken. There were no less than five Corpse Commanders in the surroundings who converged around her. If it were just five Corpse Commanders, there was no need for her to be afraid, but behind them was the support of a million Corpse Soldiers. Not only were their attacks extremely powerful, but their corpse qi was endless too.

“Meowster! Meowster!”

Within the mist, a familiar call seemed to ring out.

“Why did she come in?”

The Dark Queen’s expression changed, becoming slightly distracted.

Immediately, the corpse qi around her surged into the air and swept over like a tsunami.

The Dark Queen raised her hand, and the huge ghost appeared.

A dark green, petite figure called out loudly as she advanced through the thick mist.

“Where did meowster go? She’s not going to be in any danger, right?”

Xuanyue furrowed her brows. Suddenly, her cat ears trembled, and her hair pricked up. She turned around and bared her teeth.

Rumble! Within the thunderous shaking, the pebbles on the ground leapt up and down. A hundred thousand Corpse Soldiers under the lead of seven Corpse Generals swarmed over like an avalanche.

Corpse qi condensed above the army into a lunging, black monster.

Let alone her, a Daemon General, even a Daemon Commander would struggle to withstand the full brunt of that.

With a flash, she vanished from the location, having used Shadow Displacement, but she was only displaced three hundred meters away, unable to escape from the corpse army. In this region, innate abilities were no longer so effective.

She clenched her fist and staggered backwards before immediately turning around and fleeing. She arrived at the edge of the region very soon, raising her foot but unable to step out.

A huge chasm invisible to the naked eye separated the region from the outside world, serving as a boundary between life and death.

Dying was easy, but coming back alive was not!

She turned around, her large eyes filled with anxiety. She murmured to herself.

“No, no, I have to find a way, but what can I do here? Meowster, Xuanyue is going to die for you. Although I’ve always tried to escape, I haven’t exactly let you down. Damned Big Blacko, your master I am also about to die because of you. You’ve let me down tremendously!”

The army rushed towards her like the tide. It was suffocating.

Xuanyue closed her eyes as her last thought flashed through her head, I wonder if I can be revived if I die in a strange place like this.

The pain she imagined did not arrive. She opened her eyes and saw a conspicuous smear of scarlet. It seemed so dazzlingly beautiful in the gloomy, grey world.

A figure stood before him, his body tall and straight and his scarlet hair drifting through the air. He did not seem particularly burly, but he gave off a lofty, unshakeable bearing like a mountain.

He knelt on one knee and struck the ground with both hands lithely and forcefully.

Xuanyue called out, “You idiot, it’s already too late to kneel for forgiveness!”

Li Qingshan’s expression stiffened and shot an exasperated glance at her.

“How dare you glare at me at a time like this… I…”

Xuanyue shut up. Cracks emanated from his fist.

The steady ground abruptly turned into a raging beast, shaking violently. The thickly-dotted Corpse Soldiers were like lice on the beast’s back, thrown into the air viciously.

Several tens of thousand Corpse Soldiers blotted out the sky, directly shaken to death. The military formation collapsed.
