Chapter 39: The Reapers First Appearance

  Xuan Yue cried while stuttering: "You, you... hate..., waaah, you... why... marry... another woman, waaah, I know... you don't want to be my partner, waaah, go away, you go..., I hate you, don't want to see you again..., waaah."

  Ah-Dai finally understood that Xuan Yue was angry because he had chosen Lan Ying as his wife earlier. As soon as he thought of taking a wife, he suddenly remembered that when he was young, his maid had said that she would marry him when she grew up. He let out a sigh of relief and said with some regret: "Yueyue, you misunderstood me, I didn't want to marry Lan Ying, it was Brother Yan Shi who made me do so."

  Xuan Yue's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at him, her tears momentarily forgotten. "What did you say? Did Brother Yan Shi tell you to marry Lan Ying?"

  "Ah-dai shook his head repeatedly and said, 'No, no, it's not like that. The thing is...' Then he told them how he and the Rock had planned to help Lan Ying and A-ku-ti."

  Xuan Yue listened, her expression gradually changing. Although Ah Dai's account wasn't very clear, she still understood the gist of it. Sadness was gradually replaced by joy in her eyes. After listening to Ah Dai's story, she scolded: "Then why didn't you tell me this afternoon? You let me cry for so long for nothing?"

  "Hey, you've been mad at me since this afternoon! I called you and you didn't even respond to me! And besides, I'm really stupid. Those lines that Brother Rock taught me, I have to recite them many times before I can remember them."

  Xuan Yue's heart turned from sadness to joy, and she scolded: "I don't care, I don't care, it's all your fault. Who told you to pull out the Xuan Tie Bow for no reason, causing so much trouble? It's all your fault, it's all your fault." Although she said this with her mouth, she had already unconsciously leaned her delicate body against Ah Dai's chest.

  Ah-Dai sniffed the fragrance on Xuan Yue's body, feeling a bit at a loss, and could only sit on the ground, letting Xuan Yue lean against him. He clearly felt that the anger in Xuan Yue's heart had disappeared.

  Today's weather is great, there are no clouds in the sky, a bright moon hangs high in the air, and with the gentle breeze, the moonlight on the water ripples. The hazy feeling makes Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue both gradually infatuated. Unbeknownst to them, Ah-Dai's hands had already wrapped around Xuan Yue's slender waist, gently embracing her soft body. Xuan Yue rested her head on Ah-Dai's shoulder, lightly kissing his wounded area, her gaze drifting as she asked: "Does it still hurt?" Her voice was unusually gentle, and hearing it in his ears felt exceptionally comfortable.

  A'Dai's heart skipped a beat, and he shook his head, saying "It doesn't hurt." Xuan Yue's gentleness made him feel uneasy for a moment, but he really liked this feeling, the strange sensation in his chest grew even stronger.

  Xuan Yue grasped Ah Dai's large hand and said in a low voice: "Sorry, I was too impulsive just now. I didn't ask clearly before hitting you."

  Xuan Yue's gentle words made Ah Dai's whole body tremble, and he blurted out: "Yue Yue, I, I..."

  Xuan Yue raised her head, looked at Ah Dai, and said foolishly: "If you have anything to say, just say it. I won't blame you." After finishing speaking, she lowered her head, feeling the burning sensation on her face, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

  Ah-Dai held Xuan Yue's soft body and said, "Yueyue, I..." He finally gathered the courage to say something, but suddenly, a deafening horseshoe sound started, as if a large cavalry was rushing towards the bonfire party. Ah-Dai was startled and said, "Yueyue, is something wrong? Let's go take a look."

  Xuan Yue let out a low sigh, stood up in Ah Dai's embrace, stared at the somewhat dull-witted Ah Dai for a moment, and looked towards the source of the hoofbeats. Only to see, countless black silhouettes riding tall horses rapidly galloping towards the direction of the Ya Ke tribe's bonfire party. Under the moonlight, the cold glint of their weapons could be clearly seen, those were deadly instruments!

  Ah-Dai naturally saw those weapons too and asked in confusion: "Yue-Yue, who are these people? Why do they all have killing intent on them?"

  Xuan Yue shook his head and said: "I don't know who it is either. Anyway, it won't be a good person. I'm afraid they're here to launch a sneak attack on the Ya Qun tribe."

  "Ah, that's no good," Ah Diao frowned. "Rocky and Rockforce are still over there, and those Ya Qi tribe friends are in the midst of a wild celebration. If they're ambushed, it'll be hard to resist."

  Xuan Yue Dao said, "These people really know how to pick the right moment. Now is exactly when the entire Ya Qi tribe is at its weakest. If we attack now, I'm afraid they'll have a hard time resisting. Those Ya Qi people are so stupid, not even leaving behind a few sentries, and yet they're being ambushed like this - it's no wonder they'll suffer heavy losses."

  "What shall we do now?" Ah Diao hastily asked.

  Xuan Yue Dao said, "It's too late to inform them now. This place is very close to the bonfire party on that side. I'm afraid those people have already broken in. Let's sneak over first. If those people are indeed here to launch a surprise attack, let's rescue Yan Shi and Yan Li first. As for those stupid Aqi tribe members, we'll play it by ear." Her good mood was completely disrupted by these unexpected uninvited guests, and her clever little brain couldn't think of any good ideas.

  "Alright, let's hurry up and go."

  Two people emerged from the Akatsuki tribe's village, passing through a herd of cattle and sheep, smoothly approaching the bonfire party scene. As they drew near, the entire bonfire party was already in chaos, Gengetsu's judgment was extremely correct, these black-clothed knights were indeed here to launch a surprise attack. The gleaming horse swords under their swings continuously hacked towards the Akatsuki tribe people who had just been reveling, over a thousand people rushed into the Akatsuki tribe crowd like an iron torrent, wherever they passed by there was no lack of blood splashing everywhere, even children and old people were not spared. Cries and wails echoed across the land.

  "Ah! It's a bandit, it's a bandit! Everyone quickly hide!"

  "Don't! Don't kill my son, ah..."

  "My legs, my legs, they're killing me..."

  A'Dai's whole body was boiling with excitement, he turned his head to Xuan Yue and said: "Yueyue, you wait here for me, I'll go find Brother Yan Shi and the others." After saying that, he drew out the Tian Gang heavy sword from behind his back and was about to rush out.

  Xuan Yue hastily grabbed his collar, she knew that no matter what, she couldn't stop Ah Dai from taking risks now, so she could only remind him: "Be careful with everything, pay attention to safety."

  A'Dai's heart suddenly felt a surge of heat, and he solemnly nodded his head. He unfolded his body technique and rapidly charged towards the black-clothed knight's flank.

  Xuan Yue murmured: "These black-clothed people are also too good at picking the time, now those black people, who can counterattack?"

  The Yaoren people were caught off guard in the sudden surprise attack, and even the three chieftains were somewhat stunned. On this grand festive day, most of the Yaoren people had drunk to the point of staggering, how could they organize an effective counterattack? Although their numbers far exceeded that of the enemy, they were completely trapped in a massacre.

  The white aura on Ah-Dai's Tianjue sword flickered as he charged down, when over a thousand black-clad men had already successfully broken through the bonfire party and were reorganizing their troops in the distance, preparing to launch another attack. The scene of the bonfire party was left with hundreds of corpses, and the number of injured people was even more staggering, most of whom were elderly people, women and children who did not have time to escape.

  A'Dai had never seen so many dead people before. In the midst of the Ya'ke tribe's wailing, he was filled with boundless grief and indignation. Among those corpses, there were a few young men who had just challenged him, but now they had turned into cold bodies. A'Dai let out a loud roar, grasped the Tian Gang sword with both hands, and rushed towards the black-clothed man in the distance. Large numbers of Ya'ke people frantically fled in all directions, seemingly unaware that once separated, they would no longer have any strength to resist.

  "Wait a minute." A swift figure darted out from the side and blocked Ah Dai's path, it was Yan Shi. He grabbed Ah Dai's body with one hand, "Brother, what are you doing?"

  A'Dai's eyes were bloodshot with excitement, and he roared: "I'm going to settle the score with those executioners! Big brother, look at how many people they've killed! This is hundreds of lives!"

  Rocks and Rockforce were drinking with Tubari when the black-clad figures appeared, and at first they didn't react. By the time they sobered up to realize someone was launching a sneak attack, the black-clad knights had already charged into the bonfire party. They themselves were on the periphery, and the enemy's charge caused the Acala people to scatter in all directions, blocking their path forward, so it wasn't until now that they could rush to the innermost area. Just in time to run into an enraged Ah-Diao.

  "The rock looked at the black-clothed man who had already turned back and rushed, and said in a low voice: "These guys are obviously premeditated, it seems that we can't help but fight desperately. In order to avoid more casualties, let's try to hold on for a while. Once the Ya Ke tribe is no longer chaotic under their chief's command, we don't have to be afraid of these bastards."

  Yan Li Haoqi let out a loud roar, "Alright, let's have the three brothers and these bastards clash!" As he spoke, he swung his battle axe, putting on an air of fearlessness in the face of overwhelming odds.

  The kindness in Ah Diao's heart had long been dulled by the previous slaughter, and he nodded heavily, saying: "Two brothers, let's charge up, or more people will die."

  Yan Shi burst out laughing and said, "Alright, it's been a long time since I've had a good fight. Let's go!" As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them charged forward like three arrows shot from a bowstring, with Ah Dai in the middle and Yan Shi and Yan Li on either side. They quickly met up with the cavalry charging towards them.

  Yan Shi was the most sober of the three, he let out a loud shout and yelled: "Cut off the horse's legs!" As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his long knife high in the air, and a burst of yellow energy suddenly erupted, shooting out a semi-circular blade of yellow light that slashed towards the lower part of several war horses in front.

  Yan Li and Yan Shi had been together for the longest time, and it could be said that the two brothers were of one mind. The two battle-axes almost simultaneously chopped out two yellow lights of Dou Qi, and more than a dozen war horses at the front fell to the ground with a mournful cry. The knights who rushed up behind were knocked down in a heap. The originally neat formation of the surging tide suddenly became slightly disordered.

  A'Dai's brain reacted slowly, and when the rock shouted out loud, he had already jumped high. He didn't have time to cut off the horse's legs. With a loud shout, both hands moved the Tianxia Sword, and the white, fierce sword energy emitted three feet of cold light, heavily striking the knight squad that was rushing up from behind. Three knights were the first to bear the brunt, and instantly fell off their horses under A'Dai's slash. The remaining force even split the warhorses they rode in two, showing just how great A'Dai's power was in this one sword of anger.

  Yan Shi and Yan Li were shocked by Ah-Dai's attack, they had never seen Ah-Dai so angry before. The two of them didn't have time to hesitate, they couldn't let Ah-Dai be surrounded, each wielding their own weapons and charged forward. One sword, one knife, and a pair of axes, at the moment when the black-clothed people thought that the Ya Ke tribe was powerless to fight back, successfully blocked the opponent's advancing footsteps and created chaos.

  A'Dai's eyes had turned red, and the tragic deaths of the Ya Qin people kept flashing in his mind. His subordinates showed no mercy, and every sword that was swung down would surely bring several knights crashing to the ground. In the heat of the battle, dozens of knights lost their lives in just a short while. However, the black-clad men outnumbered them, and A'Dai's three men were also slightly injured.

  Rocks discovered, the black-clad knights had already divided into two small teams to encircle them from behind. He clearly knew that although their own three-man team's strength was not weak, once surrounded by these black-clad men, they would likely have no chance of survival. Grabbing Ah Dai who still wanted to charge forward, he let out a loud roar, "Let's go quickly!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and killed one of the black-clad knights, then led Ah Dai and Yan Li in a rush to escape.

  The black-clad knights apparently didn't want to give them this opportunity, and the formation adjusted extremely quickly, instantly surrounding them again. Three of the black-clad men flew out from the back of the troops, pouncing on the three idiots. After sacrificing dozens of subordinates, the opponent's leader finally appeared.

  Clang, clang, clang! The sound of ice blades colliding rang out. Ah-Dai's trio was suddenly and violently repelled, although the three black-clad men who had attacked them were also knocked back. However, the remaining knights still managed to leave several wounds on their bodies.

  The encirclement has been formed, and no matter how strong their skills are, they cannot break through the siege. Countless steel knives, like the hands of hell, continue to summon the three idiots, their strength weakening bit by bit, and the corpses around them continue to increase.

  Just as the three were about to collapse, a clear and melodious phoenix cry rang out. The originally dark sky suddenly brightened up, and a gigantic fire phoenix with a diameter of three meters suddenly charged towards the black-robed knights.

  He was startled in his heart, and he clearly caught the white figure of Xuan Yue from the gap between the black-clothed man's clothes. Indeed, it was Xuan Yue who released the Fire Phoenix Dance beyond her own ability range using the Phoenix Blood at the most critical moment. This is a sixth-level advanced magic, even with the amplification of the Phoenix Blood and the Angel Staff, it completely drained Xuan Yue's magical power and physical strength. At the same time as the fire phoenix was released, she had already collapsed to the ground, unable to exert any more energy except for being conscious, her face pale and frightening.

  The arrival of the Fire Phoenix was just in time, and its appearance also saved the lives of Ah Dumb and his two companions. The flames burst out, and a large number of black-clad men were reduced to ashes amidst their painful screams. The fiery phoenix danced freely through the encirclement of the black knights, and after devouring over a hundred lives, that dazzling figure gradually disappeared from view.

  Ah-Dai saw Xuan Yue fall to the ground, his heart racing with anxiety. He no longer cared about killing the enemy and, under the cover of rocks and rock power, took advantage of the momentary stunned state of the black-clad knights to rush desperately towards Xuan Yue's direction. He found Xuan Yue, and those black-clad men also discovered her. They were obviously seasoned veterans of the battlefield and did not panic excessively due to the large number of their companions' deaths. Someone shouted, "Kill that magician!" The black-clad knights also urged their warhorses to rush towards Xuan Yue's direction.

  The three of them unfolded their extreme physical abilities, with Ah-Dai being the first to rush to Xuan Yue's side. Ah-Dai swiftly scooped up Xuan Yue's delicate body and sprinted towards a distant location. In terms of strength, Ah-Dai was almost on par with Yan Shi and Yan Li, but in the previous battle, he had nearly exhausted himself, depleting his energy the most. Now, carrying another person while holding the heavy Tian-Gang sword, he didn't run far before falling behind.

  The black-clad knights were crazily chasing from behind, nearly two hundred companions were killed, and their bloodthirsty ferocity had been triggered. They had already forgotten the purpose of coming here, just wanting to kill the four people in front of them to vent their anger.

  Soon, the weakened Ah-Dai was caught up with, he swung his Tian-Gan sword to kill two people after using all his strength, but he was already surrounded again. Yan Shi and Yan Li were about to turn back to rescue him, but Ah-Dai roared: "You guys leave quickly, don't worry about us."

  Yan Shi knew that even if his brother rushed in, it would only mean throwing away two more lives. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Ah Dai, hold on, we'll be right back!" After finishing speaking, he grabbed Yan Li, whose eyes were bloodshot, and sprinted towards the crowd of Ya Duo people who were gathering continuously.

  Innumerable steel knives hacked towards Ah-Dai, he desperately resisted, the unyielding and endless nature of his vital energy was brought to its extreme, at the critical moment of life and death, an extraordinary potential beyond his usual self burst forth. Amidst the splashing blood, another seven or eight people died under the Tian-Gan sword.

  Suddenly, a cold light slashed towards Xuan Yue in Ah Dai's arms. Ah Dai was swinging the Tian Gang sword to resist another attack and couldn't stop it at all. The cold light was about to slash Xuan Yue's long neck. A desperate look flowed out from Xuan Yue's eyes. At this moment, she thought of many things. She didn't regret leaving her parents' side. This period of time away from home was the most wonderful part of her life. Now, in her heart, she only wished that if she could die in Ah Dai's arms, it would be considered her own good fortune.

  Just as the cold light was about to cut into Xuan Yue's body, Ah Dai let out a loud roar and suddenly turned his body, using his own back to withstand this heavy blow. In his heart, there was only one thought - if you want to kill Moon Moon, you must first step over my corpse.

  The cold light was emitted by one of the leaders of the black-clad men, who looked at Ah-Dai with delight, thinking that he could easily split the young man in two with this one knife. However, things did not go as smoothly as he had anticipated. The knife did land on Ah-Dai's back, but just as blood began to spurt out, Ah-Dai's left hand suddenly lit up, and a white light enveloped his entire body. The light paused for a moment before bursting forth, sending over ten black-clad men, including the leader, flying backward. The leader's knife had left a deep gash on Ah-Dai's back, and fresh blood had already soaked through his originally red magic robe. In intense agony, Ah-Dai let out a pained groan and stumbled forward several steps, but he still tightly hugged Xuan-Yue's slender body without loosening his grip.

  "Ah Tong——" Xuan Yue cried out in extreme pain, and amidst her agony, she regained some of her strength and was able to speak again.

  Intense pain filled Ah-Dai's entire body, his eyes glowing red as he stared at the crowd around him. His eyes kept flashing with a chilling light. His physical strength had almost been depleted, and the white light from earlier was emitted by the ring on his hand that Xuan Ye called the Guardian of God, which had saved his life for the second time. The black-clad men were intimidated by the killing intent emanating from Ah-Dai's body and didn't dare to approach him, instead surrounding him with a three-meter radius of empty space, their eyes fixed on him like tigers eyeing their prey.

  In Ah Diao's mind, he was thinking of how to rescue Xuan Yue from his arms. He knew that he couldn't die now, if he died, Xuan Yue would also be finished. Subconsciously, he inserted the Tian Feng sword into the ground in front of him and his right hand touched the Ming Wang sword on his chest.

  An evil aura suddenly emanated from him, a faint grey gas enveloping Asta's body. The air around seemed to solidify, and the temperature dropped sharply, causing the surrounding Black Bull members to shiver involuntarily. Asta, under the influence of the Demon-Dweller Sword's evil energy, had lost all emotions in his eyes, completely immersed in an overwhelming evil intent.

  Xuan Yue's spirit was shocked, and she felt a chill run down her spine under the evil aura of the Ming Wang sword. She felt as if her meridians were about to be frozen stiff, and fear filled her entire body. Just then, the Phoenix Blood at her chest suddenly emitted a warm current, driving out the cold air that had entered her body. A faint red glow enveloped her body, nourishing her internal meridians.

  Feeling the changes in his body, Ah-Dai subconsciously lowered his head to look at Xuan Yue. He saw that her entire body was wrapped in a thin layer of red mist, completely driving out the gray evil energy she had emitted. Seeing this scene, Ah-Dai's heart became calm and he no longer had any worries. He didn't want to kill anyone, but if he didn't, he and Xuan Yue would surely be buried here. Thinking of this, Ah-Dai let out a long howl towards the sky, fully mobilizing the remaining true energy in his body to input into the Ming Wang sword. Under the stimulation of the vital energy, the evil energy of the Ming Wang sword suddenly surged, and around Ah-Dai's body, a gray whirlpool-like phenomenon seemed to appear, causing the black-clad man's warhorse to unconsciously retreat backwards, emitting a series of mournful cries. Even the leader of the black-clad men was cold-sweating repeatedly, his heart filled with shock. The young man in front of him seemed to have transformed from a martial arts expert who was about to be dismembered by his subordinates into an evil demon filled with evil energy. That boundless evil energy seemed like the devil's mouth, wanting to swallow him and his subordinates whole. Under the prompting of fear, he loudly shouted: "Brothers, come at them! Kill them, I'll heavily reward you!" Under the leader's shout, he and two other companions with higher strength charged forward first, three cold lights flashing long knives carrying different colored Dou Qi light halos chopping towards Ah-Dai.

  At this moment, Ah-Dai's heart was already devoid of any emotions, sinking into a cold and icy state. His spirit had changed along with the chill emitted by the Ming Wang sword at his chest. A cold, bloodthirsty glint flowed out from the bottom of his eyes. His right hand, placed on his chest, had slipped inside his clothes and tightly grasped the hilt of the Ming Wang sword. As he watched the three black-clad men pounce towards him, Ah-Dai wrapped his left arm around Xuan Yue and coldly shouted: "Ming Wang Yi Shan Tian Di Dong!"

  Even if Xuan Yue was in Ah Dai's arms, she only felt a chill all over her body. Before she could see clearly, a dark blue light had already slid out from Ah Dai's chest, and it seemed to be the Nine You light from hell that moved Ah Dai's body, flashing past the three black-clothed men who were pouncing over from the opposite side with an eerie flash.

  The blue light disappeared, and the black-clad men who were about to rush over stopped in their tracks. "Thud, thud, thud." Three heavy objects fell to the ground, and the three black-clad men who had previously fought with Ah Diao collapsed into dust. Their bodies twitched slightly before turning into three dry corpses, which was already unknown how many souls the Meng Wang sword had absorbed.

  A'Doh clutched at his chest, panting incessantly. The attack power of the Nether King Sword was incredibly strong, but it also consumed nearly all of the remaining True Qi in his body. At the same time as he unleashed the Nether Flash, a cold and sinister energy invaded his body, constantly attacking his Heart Gate. His True Qi had almost been depleted, leaving him completely unable to expel the invading evil energy from his body.

  Xuan Yue's body was violently trembling at the moment when Ming Wang's sword came out, and it wasn't until now that she calmed down. The Phoenix Blood had saved her life once again. She also discovered Ah Dai's abnormality, as his body was slightly shaking, his face was pale, and the cold light in his eyes kept flowing, seeming to be on the verge of an explosion at any moment.

  He's now at his wit's end, barely maintaining a shred of clarity in his mind, using the last vestiges of his vitality and the evil intent of the Ming Wang sword to counterattack, but his spirit is gradually losing ground under the constant assault of the evil energy. Just as he thought all was lost, a brilliant blue light burst forth from his chest, and the evil energy within him seemed to find an outlet, being absorbed instantly like a vast ocean taking in countless rivers. The moment the evil energy vanished, Ah-Dai felt the Dragon's Blood in his chest stir once more, emitting a faint hum. As the blue light receded, Ah-Dai finally returned to normal. He could no longer support his own body and collapsed to the ground, embracing Xuan Yue, using his injured back to break their fall, even as he lost consciousness, unwilling to harm the person in his arms. His entire body went limp as he fainted away.

  The black-clad men around him were all stunned, their strength was not high to begin with, and they had not cultivated any profound aura techniques. Under the sword of the Evil King, their souls had been swallowed up, and their lives were slowly slipping away. Only a few dozen people on the outermost periphery, more than 100 meters away from Ah-Dai, could still maintain some clarity, let out a strange cry, and urged their horses to flee in panic. The overwhelming evil aura did not take their lives, but it had already driven them mad.

  In the year 994 of the Sacred Calendar, Death God Asto first used the evil energy of the Myouga Sword to slaughter over 700 people. Nearly a thousand dead spirits were absorbed by the Myouga Sword and the Dragon's Blood. The kind-hearted Asto gradually began his path as a Death God, although he was originally good-natured, but inevitably brought about carnage.

  At this time, the people of the Ya Qiong tribe finally regrouped under the leadership of the three chiefs, found horses, and temporarily gathered nearly a thousand young men who wielded makeshift weapons, crazily charging towards the black-clad crowd. They happened to meet the dozens of black-clad men who were escaping. Immediately, they killed them off. The black-clad men had no idea how to dodge, and dozens of people were injured or killed in just a moment.

  Rocks and Rockheart were anxious, they all knew clearly that being surrounded by thousands of people would end in disaster. They struck without mercy, and more than half of the black-clad men died at their hands.

  "Clang!" The sound of icy blades clashing echoed through the air, as a rocky outcropping blocked the war axe swung by the last black-robed figure.

  "Big brother, why don't you let me kill this rabbit? I want to avenge Ah Dumb and the others!"

  The rock-like man dragged the black-clad person forward and said, "Don't you realize that these people haven't resisted at all?" He violently shook the black-clad person's body and roared, "Bastard, what kind of people are you?"

  The black-clad man's eyes were dull, and his face showed a terrified expression. He muttered: "No, don't kill me, Lord Death God, I was wrong, I was wrong. Don't kill me, Lord Death God." The black-clad man whose will had been taken away kept flashing back to the scene of his companions being turned into mummies under the King of Hell's sword.

  A boulder, a god of death? Where did this god of death come from? He was anxious in his heart, and with one swift motion, he flung the black-clad man aside, brandishing the long sword in his hand, shouting loudly: "Brothers of the Ya Qian tribe, follow me!" As he spoke, he charged forward on horseback, leading the way towards the black-clad men who stood motionless on the ground. When they approached close, the black-clad knights showed no reaction whatsoever. After cutting down over a dozen people, they were shocked to discover that these individuals had completely lost all mobility. Yan Shi's heart skipped a beat as he recalled the fate of those bandits in the Spirit Forest, shouting loudly: "Everyone, stop! These people are already dead!" What he said was true - these people who had lost their souls could indeed be considered dead, and it wasn't just them; even the horses that carried them stood motionless on the ground, having also lost their lives with blood flowing from their mouths and noses. With just a slight touch, they would collapse to the ground.

  Finally, Yan Shi and Yan Li found the unconscious Ah Dai and Xuan Yue in the crowd, their hearts filled with astonishment. Under the siege of thousands of people, not only did they not die, but they also annihilated the vast majority of the enemy, what kind of power could achieve this level?! The two hastily helped Ah Dai and Xuan Yue up, Xuan Yue had already fainted, being tightly held in Ah Dai's arms. Yan Shi tried several times, but couldn't separate them. The wound on Ah Dai's back was still bleeding profusely, Yan Shi used his internal energy to seal his blood vessels and handed him over to Yan Li beside him. Yan Li's strength was astonishing, yet he didn't feel any strain holding both people at the same time.

  Three chiefs of the Ya Qiong tribe have also arrived, and they are studying those black-clad knights who have lost their souls. After finding out that Ah Dai and Xuan Yue were not dead, Yan Shi finally relaxed and came to the three chiefs, asking: "Chiefs, do you know where these ambushing people come from and why they attacked you at this time?"
