In the sky not far from the battlefield, Ms. Xia Daiti was confronting a phantom figure.
Ethereal silhouette is a refined gentleman wearing a purple long gown.
"Long time no see, madam. Sorry it has to be under these circumstances."
"Ahahahaha! Isn't this Lord Ross? What's wrong, can't even show your true self?"
"I apologize, I didn't mean to escalate the situation. You've contacted the three major cities of Western Border to jointly deal with our sect. As a new leader, I must have a talk with you, it seems that you have some misunderstandings about my sect."
Xia Dai tilted her eyes to the battlefield, "The situation has escalated, and I will also visit your nest. As for revenge, my poor husband, I must do something for him."
"Ah, lady, my pet also died in Green Ridge City. Let's just forget this unpleasant memory for now. How about a truce? Let my toy and your warband have some fun."
"If I win by luck, please withdraw the political decree against the sect. Otherwise, as a Golden Stage cultivator, I can erase Qingling City."
Xia Dai narrowed his eyes. "Are you threatening me?"
Ross replied politely: "It is a negotiation in accordance with etiquette and rules. Thank you, Great Markov, Your Majesty, and the proposed containment agreement."

Mell rode Ajie and also made a big show. A death knight standing unsteadily under Ajie's impact, Mell took the opportunity to swing his titanium silver sword to harvest. A light and fast sword, like lightning, pierced through the gap in the death knight's neck armor, it let out a low growl and knelt down to the ground, its body dissipated, leaving only one suit of armor on the ground. Mell looked back at Li Rui, found that his partner was also paying attention to her, raised his weapon and swung it to greet him, revealing a sweet smile under his face mask.
But the outstanding performance of a few people cannot cover up the fact that the entire battle group fell into a disadvantage. After the zombies died, their bodies emitted a strong foul odor, which made humans tearful and coughing upon contact. Hogney commanded the troops to slowly retreat.
The high-ranking main force of the Undead Legion is the Death Knight, which not only has thick skin and durability but also possesses magical abilities. After a large-scale casting of Shadow Explosion, the Bronze Warriors suffered heavy casualties.
The Death Knights charged into the battlefield, and Hogney waved his hand to let Shana, Laman and others who had been ready for a long time go out to fight. Monsters after all do not have normal thinking, so they are not opponents of human silver rank, but they have an advantage in numbers.
It's good that Shana got the titanium silver sword gift. This weapon is even more deadly in her hands. It can even cut off the already formed magic when the Death Knight releases a spell, and then pierce it with one sword. The crowd barely maintained the line of defense, resisting the monster's attack.
Four pale figures flew into the air, their skull-like faces filled with extreme pain and distortion. They let out a massive, ear-piercing scream, visible sound waves sweeping across the entire battlefield. This was the death shriek of 2nd-tier vengeful spirits!
Human warriors covered their ears and screamed in despair, their hearts filled with extreme desperation and pain. A few who had protective artifacts immediately activated them, but this wave still suffered heavy losses. Even Li Rui's spiritual attack was filtered out by the silver, but these piercing sonic waves were completely unbearable, leaving him temporarily deaf.
After the howl, the vengeful spirit immediately released 'Death Wither'. The dead human warriors on the spot were resurrected and turned into zombies to launch a killing spree against their companions; the already killed spirits transformed into black ink, which, upon contact with the body, made humans feel their physical strength rapidly draining away, becoming limp and lifeless. This was the dark ether that shrouded the entire battlefield.
At the critical moment, countless rifles roared, and two vengeful spirits let out a mournful cry as they dissipated. It turned out that Hogney had ordered his elite riflemen to load silver bullets and open fire.
The vengeful spirits without physical bodies were extremely agile in the air, making them very hard to hit. Only two of them were shot down, and the remaining two quickly retreated to the rear of the Undead Legion. However, their mission had already been accomplished, as the human army was now on the brink of collapse.
Even ordinary soldiers who had already withdrawn were pressing forward, ready to fight to the death, no matter how heavy the losses would be. In times of crisis, there was no time to think about it anymore.
~~~~
Undead with a commander are much harder to deal with, even the stupidest zombies and ghouls know how to cooperate.
At this time, Li Rui's difficulties were not only due to the enemy's strength, but also the system's 'soul extraction'! High-level undead have a chance to appear as 'blue light dots' after death and be absorbed! The pale blue ghostly eyes turned into countless fine blue light dust, floating over and being absorbed, the entire battlefield above became a flashing blue sea of light. This beautiful scenery could only be seen by Li Rui alone.
At first he didn't pay attention, and during battles there was no time to look at the walk-through, but after absorbing ten waves, there was a feeling of being stuffed.
As more and more spirits died, the light points ate more and more. The system couldn't hold it anymore but still didn't stop eating!
A string of 【Detected Soul Energy, Quality: XX. Absorbed, Fusion Rate Increased】spammed the screen!!
The tiny box-like system expanded to an enormous size, overflowing with energy that filled the entire body, as if it was about to burst! Li Rui struggled to wield his war hammer in battle, using his willpower to resist the surging sensation. It was like having a stomachache on a crowded bus - you had to endure it!
Dad is going to be so angry! Stop eating now! Please!

The adult instructor found an opportunity! At this time, the enemy's defeat was already set, and it was time to complete the task. He controlled the fleshly distorted body, instantly killing towards Li Rui's direction.
Its body was a grotesque mass of flesh, yet it moved with incredible speed. In an instant, it accelerated to 200 kilometers per hour and charged forward. Its scythe-like arms swung wildly, cutting down the warriors who stood in its way like rotten meat.
Hogney shook his head at the consultant, indicating to continue hiding and waiting for an opportunity. He jumped up from where he was and launched a combat technique, charging towards the Blood Meat Aberration! The aberration swung its scythe in a hard-hitting exchange of blows.
This was the first time Li Rui saw Hogarth fall to the ground, he was struck by a single blow and crashed into the array of vengeful spirits, crushing countless low-ranking vengeful spirits. The obstructed aberrant body slowed down its speed and launched another charge.
But Li Rui couldn't hold on any longer! It was like having a sudden attack of gastroenteritis, this was no longer something that could be endured by willpower alone! The old man was going to lose it!
As Shana slaughtered a large number of undead, another wave of blue light dots surged in, and the system suddenly said:
"Soul absorption has reached its limit, core upgrade in progress. 'Sakana Long' is now offline."
It's quiet again!! This big shot is still aloof, doing his own thing, and doesn't care about the master's life or death.
Then Li Rui collapsed! As if someone who had been holding in a stomachache and had their face twisted up, suddenly found a toilet!
He could no longer bear it, supporting himself with his warhammer as he slowly squatted down, the urine flowing freely, a thousand miles in one go! He let out a comfortable sigh.
~~~~~
Mei was anxious, her attention always focused on Li Rui. She knew that her partner lived in a peaceful and happy country, had never experienced such a scene. But also understood that her partner was a brave and responsible person, without fear or retreat!
She saw Li Rui as if he was injured and exhausted, and actually slowly knelt down on the ground! ?
Just as Mel was rushing over without regard for his own life, just as the warriors were feeling sorrowful and about to lose another hero ——
