Chapter 43 - When the Sword Appears, All the Immortals Bow at the Sight (2/2)

Another figure quickly grabbed his shoulder and dragged him back. In the next moment, the figure that was shielding him was attacked by the mutated tiger demon and star beast.

“Old Li!”

Gu Hai let out a heart-wrenching scream. The other could no longer hear him.

“Gu Hai, let’s go! Snap out of it or you’ll end up dead!”

…

On top of a mountain, several human figures looked down as if they were watching a show. Not only did they not show any mercy, they even made bets.

“Guess how long they can last?”

“Three minutes!”

“That’s too much. I think one minute at most!”

“All of them have basically been bitten. The more wounds they have, the faster the infection will be. I think their souls have been affected. They can only last for thirty seconds. That’s their limit!”

The garrison members at the foot of the mountain fell one by one. They were swallowed by the star beasts and the tiger demons. One by one, they were all bitten and died in screams.

Gu Hai felt his consciousness gradually becoming faded. An unknown force was invading his mind.

His eyes could no longer see clearly in front of him. The whites of his eyes had already turned blood-red. Only the high-tech combat glasses could still see the difference between them through thermal imaging.

Under the thermal imaging, the mutated lifeforms were all green, while the living lifeforms were red.

Every time one of the red lights fell, it meant the death of a teammate.

‘Am I going to die too? So this is what death feels like? Like a flower withering, gradually, there’s no more breathing and no more spiritual energy.

“Dad, Mom, Wanwan, Old Ye… And the baby… Goodbye.’

Gu Hai was no longer able to wave the steel saber in his hand. In his last consciousness, the thermal imaging of his glasses showed countless green figures hurtling toward him.

His spiritual energy was invaded and he was left paralyzed. He felt his soul gradually become light and he could no longer feel the pain in his body.

However!

Just as Gu Hai was about to give up completely, a golden light suddenly landed beside him like a god descending.

Boom!

Accompanied by an earth-shaking explosion, the airwaves caused everyone to be sent flying. It directly blasted all the mutated tiger demons and star beasts within a 300 feet radius.

‘Fortunately, I’m not too late.’

Ye Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes revealing a gratified expression.

“Ahhhhh!”

Just as he finished his thought, Gu Hai’s frantic screams came from behind him.

Ye Xiao turned around and saw Gu Hai’s bloodshot eyes. He opened his mouth wide and pounced toward him like a hungry wolf.

Ye Xiao’s expression froze. He extended his hand and pointed at the space between Gu Hai’s brows. The spiritual energy immediately froze him on the spot, preventing him from moving.

The Big Dipper’s Grand Mystery was also activated at the same time when the healing cultivation technique healed his body. It invaded Gu Hai’s consciousness and destroyed the evil spiritual energy that was infecting his soul with a crushing force.

Plop.

After his injuries were completely healed by Ye Xiao, Gu Hai fell to the ground like a dead pig.

“Sleep for a while. You’ll be fine once you wake up.”

Ye Xiao patted his back and released the healing cultivation technique and the Big Dipper’s Grand Mystery once again, healing the few members of the garrison team who were about to mutate one by one. He dispelled the evil spiritual energy in their souls and caused them to fall into a deep sleep.

Seeing that, the eyes of the few figures on the mountain turned cold and filled with killing intent.

“Who’s intervening? Why are you trying to ruin our plans?”

Ye Xiao raised his head, and a cold glint shot out from his eyes.

Without wasting any more words, the Heaven-cleaving Sword circulated within his body, and a golden light suddenly spread out from the top of his head, instantly piercing through the night sky and charging straight at them..
