473 Lost in the Path of Life (2/2)

The league's main game lasted for a full two hours. In the later stage of the game, the more it became exciting and the stronger its appeal. Even Zhou Mumu who had little interest in the game could not help but cheer for the players in the field.

In the end, the home team of Zanarkand defeated their most powerful competitor with a score of 7-4. The team won the applause and lifted the eternal shield. Of course, this was only a special reward for the first game victory. The real eternal shield would not be awarded to the winner until the end of the league.

After the match, Wang Lu and the others reluctantly left the stadium with the crowd.

During their walk back to their residence, the celebration atmosphere cooled off a bit. Zhou Mumu's emotion was the most complex.

”If… If we weren't already clear about our goal, I think before long, we would really lose ourselves here.”

Wang Lu also sighed. ”Indeed, this is a world that is too beautiful to be destroyed.”

Upon mentioning about this topic, the atmosphere truly cooled down.

According to the plan, when the black tide arrived, Qiong Hua would use her Kill Immortal Sword to escape. However, after leaving this new demon world, they still had one important thing to do—to wake up the hundreds of millions of sleeping demons, and end the two thousand years of dreamland!

This was mainly to prevent the spread of the black tide's eruption. If left unchecked, the black tide would one day engulf everything. For Nine Regions, it would be no less than the disaster of the great war of immortals and demons. However, when dreamers woke up, this magnificent civilization that had been developed for two thousand years would also disappear.

Wang Lu planned to set up a firm in the Nine Regions to imitate the entertainment industries of the new demon world—didn't he feel sorry for this soon to be shattered scene without trying to leave something behind?

During the silence, Qiong Hua said, ”Alright, we should go back and rest, stabilizing each of our immortal heart. After the game, I think everyone's mind is somewhat unstable.”

This time, even Wang Lu didn't try to oppose it.

It was a long time before the next black tide arrived.

The essence of the black tide was the resurrected killer instincts of the demons that were suppressed by the new demon world. But in the past few days, some of these negative feelings had already been vented out through the lightning ball league, which delayed the next arrival of the black tide.

Nevertheless, the black tide finally came. The method of venting the negative emotions through the lightning ball league was just a temporary solution.

On the evening of that day, the horn sounded, and the demons of the new demon world rushed to their respective dwelling. The noisy world became quiet in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, Wang Lu and the others did the exact opposite. They went out of their courtyard residence and went all the way outside the city.

This time, the guards that were guarding the city gates had already taken shelter in the barrack. The vast city gates were left unguarded, allowing anyone to go in and out.

Wang Lu and the others walked all the way to the wilderness when the sky was already as black as ink. The lights from the stars that once flickered in the sky were now completely hidden. And the air was filled with a trace of turmoil, which caused people to feel depressed.

Qiong Hua took the lead of the procession. Within the darkness, her Kill Immortal Sword exuded a dim scarlet glow, which dispersed most of the depressed feelings in the people's heart.

When the black tide fell, Qiong Hua would use her Kill Immortal Sword to break through the space and open up a safe path that led directly to Nine Regions. For this sword strike, Qiong Hua had already been meditating for three days and nights, even burning her own innate vitality. Her resonance with the Kill Immortal Sword had reached its peak.

And just as the five of them stood still, ready to meet with the black tide… the sky collapsed.

Wrapped in the darkness, this was the most intuitive feeling that they had. Although being surrounded by darkness they could not see even half of the change, but it seemed as if the world was rapidly falling on top of their heads.

As long as this moment arrived, the several Daoist Masters of Jindan Stage would be ground into dust. But in this instant, Qiong Hua had already made her strike with her Kill Immortal Sword. The sword light pressed upward, directly pierced through the sky.

When the sword light bloomed, tens of thousands of dead souls screamed in unison. Those were the souls victim of the illustrious victories of Qiong Hua's evil slayer since her debut. These dead souls were both vicious and destructive, and when the sword light shone, these tens of thousands of souls actually aimed at a point in the void.

”Go!”

After Qiong Hua coldly shouted, the power of the Kill Immortal Sword broke out, letting out a ripple that turned the five blood spirit power struggle into a bloodbath. Once it raged out, it was actually able to forcefully pushed the black tide back. The other four lead disciples didn't need to be told anymore as they immediately followed the sword light into the void.

Qiong Hua herself was responsible to guard the rear. After Xiang Liang entered the void, she would change the direction of the sword light, and big waves of ocean of blood would once again enter her sword. However, this ocean of blood provoked the black tide to frantically go after them.

However, while the ocean of blood entered her sword, simultaneously the gap was also closed, leaving behind a cool silhouette in the new demon world.

Turning around, Qiong Hua saw the several lead disciples in the gap between worlds. If one didn't know where this was, even a cultivator with gargantuan remarkable ability would pass into oblivion. However, under Qiong Hua's feet, there was a line with the other end reaching the distant place, which was exactly the direction of the Nine Regions.

Qiong Hua smiled. ”Alright, then we just need to… huh, where is Wang Lu?”

After a second take, Qiong Hua found out that everyone else was there, except Wang Lu!
