Chapter 547 – A Farewell, a Great Blaze (2/2)

In this region that the Hungry Ghost realm was about devour, three people completely forgot about their surroundings. They completely forgot about victory and defeat, life and death. All that remained was the people before them.

There was ravishing joy from finding what was previously lost, there was wavering dilemma, and there was the fear of loss.

Li Qingshan retreated and dodged it. The Dark Queen’s hand touched nothing.

Xiao An gazed at the Dark Queen as she constantly backed away. She silently murmured inside, Farewell, queen mother!

The pretty, familiar yet unfamiliar child overlapped with her before separating again. She turned around resolutely and flew towards Li Qingshan, throwing herself into his arms and embracing him firmly.

Li Qingshan was overjoyed. He grinned from ear to ear, smiling like a child. Sensing the emotional turmoil in Xiao An’s heart, he rubbed her head and said, “Let’s go for a great battle!”

Xiao An broke free from Li Qingshan’s embrace and waved her arm. The twenty-six Skull Prayer Beads scattered and landed within the sea of corpses.

Wielding the white bone sword, Xiao An leapt down.

“Stop it!”

“Zi’er” experienced a great sense of danger and ordered loudly. Several dozen Corpse Commanders abandoned their opponents and flew over, charging towards Xiao An.

Li Qingshan lifted his arm, bringing it in front of Gu Yanying who wanted to help out. “Get the Dark Queen to prepare for sealing off the Gate of Hungry Ghosts! We’ll press forward into the enemy’s den!”

What? Gu Yanying was utterly shocked. Was she supposed to fend off several million Corpse Soldiers, as well as so many Corpse Generals and Commanders, alone?

The group of Corpse Commanders arrived with surging corpse qi. With a wave of the Blood Sea Banner, they all vanished into thin air, and their corpse qi dispersed.

She could not kill them all, but keeping them trapped for a while was no problem.

When the Blood Sea Banner had first been refined, it was in its weakest form. Through constant battle and devouring enemies, the Blood Sea Banner had become more and more powerful. After reducing the Corpse Commanders who encircled the Dark Queen to blood, the Blood Sea Banner had never been so powerful before.

These Corpse Commanders had very tough bodies and their corpse qi was powerful. They could even lead Corpse Generals and Corpse Soldiers to strengthen themselves.

However, that was it. They were not capable of anything else. They did not have the powerful innate abilities of daemons, nor did they have the flexible techniques of humans. As a result, breaching the Blood Sea Banner became very difficult.

Xiao An descended from above. The Blood Sea Banner stretched over three hundred meters long, dancing about like a blood dragon as it silently devoured the sea of corpses.

Thousands, tens of thousand, hundreds of thousand!

The Corpse Generals and Corpse Commanders could still fend off the sea of blood, but these Corpse Soldiers clearly lacked the ability. They were reduced to blood as soon as they entered the sea of blood, strengthening the Blood Sea Banner’s powers.

The skeletons they left behind floating in the sea of blood. They were much more powerful than the white bones regular people left behind in the very beginning. Within the sea of blood hid a sea of bones that constantly lunged and mauled at the Corpse Commanders.

The Skeleton Demons that had scattered did not stand around idly either. They opened their huge, vicious, teeth-ridden mouths and spat out gushing flames.

Thousands of Corpse Generals led an army several million strong to surround these Skeleton Demons. They all fell into military formations as corpse qi condensed into vicious monsters in the air. Terrifying weapons were swung at the Skeleton Demons.

The corpse qi on Corpse Soldiers had always been much thinner. The Corpse Generals had mobilised their corpse qi to unleash various attacks, which made the Corpse Soldiers lose their final layer of protection.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wherever the Samādhi Flames of White Bone went, they were like sparks that landed in a pot of oil. A great blaze rushed into the air and spread rapidly, reaching an unstoppable size in the blink of an eye.

Burning in the Samādhi Flames of White Bone, the Corpse Soldiers became a part of the flames one by one, stoking the fire.

The Samādhi Flames of White Bone turned into great swathes of fire clouds, surging through the air while spitting out thousands of tongues of flames like colossal, constantly-transforming beasts, licking the sea of corpses on the ground.

Having lost their subordinates, the Corpse Generals could only circulate their corpse qi and hold on for dear life in the sea of fire. But at most, they would only last a little longer in the sea of fire.

Under the violent surging of Samādhi Flames of White Bone, their protective corpse qi collapsed and was torn apart very soon, reduced to great torches of fire.

The entire world was burning!

“What a great fire!” Li Qingshan shouted out in admiration.

The others were all speechless. The firelight made their faces flickered.

Gu Yanying frowned firmly. What is this fire? How come I’ve never heard of it? And how is it so powerful? She personally believed she possessed great knowledge and extensive experience, but now she saw a fire even she had never heard of before. Their fortuitous encounter truly had been unfathomable.

“White flames!”

“Zi’er” widened her eyes. The flames caused her a vague sense of fear, which made her suddenly remember an extremely widespread rumor within the Hungry Ghost realm. A long, long time ago, white holy fire had once descended from above and incinerated everything.
