Chapter 495: Death Energy (2/2)

But although these soldiers were weaker than Xue Wei and the group, they dared not slack or relax. The sheer amount of soldiers in this camp was so overwhelming that they had to conserve every last ounce of energy to deal with them.

Initially, many had tried to run away, but Lan's barrier made it so that escape was impossible. Since they could not escape, the only other option was to fight for their lives, which resulted in all of them charging at Xue Wei and his group.

Fortunately, there was only so much space around them, but the ground they were standing on turned into a mountain of corpses. At first, the soil had turned muddy from the blood spilled on it, but soon the earth could no longer absorb more liquids, and it turned into a river of blood that flowed freely from the battlefield.

As the corpse mountain grew in size, many of the experts began pleading for mercy, but Xue Wei just continued the massacre. Strange energy began enveloping the corpses, and Lan, who had been remarkably calm, began trembling.

His eyes widened, and he observed the surroundings.

”Keep killing!” he shouted to Xue Wei and his friends, and they acknowledged the order, after which they sped up their attacks.

More and more fell to the weapons in their hands, and the sound of agony spread through the battlefield.

Lan narrowed the barrier so that the people had nowhere left to run, and Xue Wei was like a grim reader, harvesting lives left and right. Everywhere he went, death followed, and no one was capable of surviving.

The dense aura of death that had surrounded the battlefield was growing in strength.

Before the battle, Lan had specifically told Luoluo, Bai Tianyi, and Xue Wei that they could not touch the soul power that would be released by these experts.

It was not that he did not want them to get stronger; it was more a question of whether or not the soul power could be the factor that made the Ghost Realm open up its gates.

Xue Wei and Lan had not known if it would be possible, but looking at the current situation and the dense aura of death, both their eyes were glistening with hope.

Xue Wei moved even more frantically. He knew how important this was to Lan, and if he could help him, he would.

Although they had not always had a good relationship, Xue Wei knew that if not for Lan, he would have died many times over, and this favor had to be repaid, not to mention, they were friends now.
