Chapter 638: Purgatory Thunder Beas (2/2)

I turned around and scowled at Akachi. I really wished that I could smack that disgusting and wicked dragon with my sword at this moment.

The blood-red clouds in front of us slowly parted as Xinran swooped down toward the earth. The ground rapidly grew larger in my eyes as I sped toward the ground. I soon saw that a huge magic formation glowing with a faint blue light had been drawn into the earth. It was practically as big as half a canyon and there were many mysterious-looking magic stones flickering within it.

”It’s done…” After she landed on the ground, Xinran pointed a finger at the center of the distant pentagram formation and said, ”Big brother, put Mengchuan in that spot…”

”Alright!”

I strode forward and put Mengchuan in the center of the magic formation. After that, I quickly ran out of the formation and stood beside Xinran.

After Xinran waved a hand, the Dragonbone Spear started to appear. Seven gloomy red lights flickered around the handle of the spear and those lights were the fragments of Mengchuan’s soul!

Crack!

The Dragonbone Spear thrust itself into the ground as Xinran swiftly flew across the ground. A vast swell of energy instantly surged out of the earth, instantly lighting up the whole magic formation. The six-sided star glowed with a flowing light as Mengchuan, who was in the middle of the formation, raised his rotten head to observe what was happening around him. When he saw Xinran floating in the air, a serene smile appeared on his face.

Xinran soon raised her beautiful face toward the sky as those blood-red eyes stared at all the heavenly bodies arrayed in it. Her lips curved up into a smile as she started chanting her spell. ”O’ great lord of Purgatory, break the contract of the soul and indulge the desires of the dead! Let the never-ending cycle of reincarnation of hell come to a pause! Fresh sacrifices have already been prepared, so I, the Wind Singer, beseech you! Purgatory Reincarnation—Resurrection!”

The earth rumbled and cracked apart as a huge blood-red hand stretched out from Hell and grabbed Mengchuan’s body. Xinran raised her hand and a beam of light shot out of her palm and smacked into the blood-red hand. She repeated the process a few more times before the huge arm finally fled back into Purgatory in an almost resentful manner.

The Winged Silver Dragon descended from the skies. As it beat its wings, it threw several bisons and large lizards down to the hole in the ground. These magic beasts squealed as they fell into hell. Those must be the fresh sacrifices that Xinran had mentioned.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

A response echoed out from the purgatory and beams of blood-colored energy shot into the sky and gradually engulfed Mengchuan’s corpse. In the next instant, flesh actually started to grow on Mengchuan’s withered bones, and his bones themselves were being transformed! Even though the process looked quite gruesome, it was a good sign that his resurrection was going well!

A long time later, Mengchuan’s body finally finished reconstituting itself. Strong muscles rippled across his frame as new skin stretched out over it. His face regained the color a living person had and his rejuvenated features looked as sharp as a blade. His eyes were solemn and determined and he had a full head of long golden hair. But Xinran wasn’t done yet. She did not only resurrect Mengchuan, she had even prepared a full suit of weapons and armor!

Whoosh, whoosh...

A gray longsword fell to the ground and landed right in front of Mengchuan. A full suit of ebon armor also followed right after. What came next was even more outrageous. An undead skeleton horse wreathed in purple flames actually fell to the ground as well.

Mengchuan’s eyes were full of shock as he slowly changed into his new armor. He grasped the handle of the gray longsword as he leapt onto the back of the skeletal horse. As he raised his longsword in the air, it gave a long whinny as if to vent ten thousand years of rage and frustration.

Thud!

Mengchuan leapt off his new mount and fell to his knees in a show of devotion. He said, ”Lord Wind Singer, I am yours to wield as you see fit! There is nothing that I, Mengchuan, can do to repay you for granting me new flesh, but I am yours to command until the end of my existence!”

A satisfied smile appeared on Xinran’s face as she said, ”Mengchuan, you were originally a fierce warrior who wasn’t the least bit inferior to Thunder. Now that I have given you a new life and raised your cultivation, you need to swear this solemn oath. Swear that you will devote this new life to the protection of all living things in this world! Swear that you will stop the bloody shadow of the undead from eating away at this continent!”

”Yes, my lord!”

……

A small smile appeared on my face as I whispered to Xinran, ”Xinran, congratulations on gaining a fierce general!”

Xinran giggled and turned to look at me. After that, she clung onto one of my arms and said, ”Big brother, this was all because of your hard work. If you hadn’t accomplished your quest, I would have never been able to lure Thunder out. Hmmm, Xinran doesn’t really have many treasures to give to big brother. But this… well, this might be something that big brother can use…”

When she finished saying those words, the system notice rang in the air and told me that I had gained a large amount of experience. After that, Xinran presented a large black pearl to me with both hands.

”Hmmm, what is this? I asked in a puzzled voice as I stared at the black pearl.

”Just take a look and see!”

”Uh huh…”

I took the pearl from Xinran. My eyes immediately lit up when I examined it. It really was something good.
