Chapter 156: Long Sword Breaks the Air
As his vision blurred, the huge figure of the zombie slowly approached, and he himself was already in a sea of fire, as if he would be completely swallowed up in the next moment.
Shangguan Jiannan knew very well that if he could not find a solution quickly, he would be reduced to ashes in this endless flame.
The intertwined fear and the desire to survive made his mind suffer unprecedented torment.
At this critical moment of life and death, he must find a glimmer of hope, otherwise, everything will be lost.
Shangguan Jiannan's expression suddenly turned gloomy, his brows furrowed, his mind felt like a tangled mess, and he kept searching for a good solution to the current predicament.
Just when he was extremely anxious and almost swallowed by despair, an inexplicable chill quietly rose from behind him, like a ray of clear spring in winter, penetrating the unbearable heat around his body and bringing a touch of unexpected coolness and comfort.
This sudden change made him slightly startled, and then a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
A sudden chill hit Shangguan Jiannan, and his whole body trembled, as if he was in an ice cellar.
The boiling heat in the body quickly dissipated when it encountered this cold current, just like a blazing flame encountering ice and snow. The red in the eyes gradually faded, the manic heart calmed down, and the limbs regained strength.
As this strange spiritual energy fluctuated, Shangguan Jiannan looked around. His purple robe was almost burned in the flames, and the cold air hit him, revealing his charred skin.
The spiritual energy surrounding his body slowly dissipated, only the high temperature on the Killing Heaven Sword remained, distorting the surrounding air.
The zombie's face was filled with horror. His previous composure was gone. His face turned pale as paper, and he let out a sharp and piercing cry: "How is this possible! This is impossible!"
This desperate cry echoed in the space, the wind was howling, blood was gushing, and the scene was horrifying.
The zombie moved slightly, making a series of dull sounds, and then erupted into a deafening roar, the sound waves like a tide, sweeping across the entire space.
His momentum soared, and he controlled the blood light to transform it into blood pythons, which pounced towards Shangguan Jiannan fiercely.
"Prepare to die!" With a loud shout, blood shot up into the sky. Shangguan Jiannan's spiritual energy surged wildly. His face was solemn, his eyes were like knives, fixed on those fatal blood rays, and his whole body was filled with chilliness. A life-and-death battle was about to take place.
In his mind, the thoughts of the Lord of the Slaying Heaven Sword gradually became clear.
Then, Shangguan Jiannan's hands flew, and a dazzling light suddenly appeared. Every move and every style came from instinct. The spiritual energy was so strong that it made people feel palpitating, and his power increased suddenly.
Whoosh! The long sword cut through the sky, accompanied by a buzzing sound, piercing through the void, its momentum was unstoppable.
This move was incredibly powerful, but it also exhausted the remaining spiritual energy in Shangguan Jiannan's dantian, all of which was poured into the Killing Heaven Sword.
In an instant, the golden light of the Slaying Heaven Sword became brighter, and it carried Shangguan Jiannan at a rapid speed. The golden light cut through the blood mist, and the sharp sound resounded through the sky.
The zombies roared, the sound was like thunder that struck the heart, and a sense of ancient energy surged out.
The two sides were surrounded by flowing light, and finally collided violently, causing a deafening roar. The surrounding area was filled with blood and the roar continued.
In the distance, disciples were flying quickly and the elders of each sect had solemn expressions.
Yin Wuqing looked into the distance with anxiety in his eyes, took a deep breath, and was about to rush out with a sword.
This action caused the elders around to exclaim in surprise, and their faces became even more serious.
The elders of the Tianjian Sect quickly gathered together and formed an invisible barrier to stop Yin Wuqing.
"The zombies are extremely powerful, don't act rashly!" The elders advised in a low voice with serious expressions.
They still remembered Yin Wuqing's battle with zombies and knew how terrifying their power was.
"Jiannan is in danger, how can I just sit there and watch?" Yin Wuqing was extremely anxious.
Yin Wuqing turned around suddenly, his eyes filled with red light, his face as pale as paper, and he shouted angrily.
He quickly turned around, his eyes fixed on the unusually enchanting red light dozens of feet away, which was gradually echoing around him, accompanied by bursts of dull explosions.
"If he fails, I will not forgive you, Guo Cheng."
Yin Wuqing's gaze was as cold as ice as he shot towards the figure not far away, his tone resolute.
He never accepted any disciples in his life and only had one son, who was now deeply trapped in the threat of blood and zombies.
Even he had difficulty matching that zombie, let alone Shangguan Jiannan, who had only a shallow level of cultivation.
Although the elders tried to comfort him, they all knew that the situation was serious.
The power of zombies is unfathomable, and even if everyone joins forces, they still have no confidence, let alone Shangguan Jiannan who is in the early stage of Sword King realm.
"Hurry up! The exit of the underworld is just around the corner!" Cries of surprise were heard everywhere. No one wanted to be an enemy of the zombies, so they all used their skills to escape quickly with serious expressions.
As the light flickered, a terrifying aura spread. Even the elders of the sect like Guo Cheng did not dare to slack off and accelerated with all their might.
"Elder Yin Wuqing, hurry up!" Everyone from the Tianjian Sect urged anxiously, their eyes full of worry.
However, Yin Wuqing seemed not to hear it, his eyes fixed on the bloody light in the distance, and he remained indifferent.
"Elder Yin Wuqing..." the person beside him urged again in a low voice.
"You lead the disciples to evacuate first, and I will follow."
Yin Wuqing stared at the blood-red sea of clouds, his voice cold and calm.
"But..." There was a hint of hesitation in the urging voice, but it was interrupted by Yin Wuqing's firm eyes.
While everyone was hesitating, a shout of "Go!" rang out like thunder in their ears. Yin Wuqing made a decisive move and walked away first.
The elders looked at each other, then sighed and followed. Their figures flashed out one after another, merged into the crowd in front, and sped away.
The blood was boiling all around, and everyone's faces were solemn. Shangguan Jiannan's face was as pale as paper, and there was a terrifying and majestic aura surrounding him.
The flames of the Sky-Slaying Sword were blazing like boiling magma. The spiritual energy in his body was exhausted, he was extremely weak, and his eyes were full of horror.
His clothes were tattered and covered in blood, like a person in a pool of blood. The drops of blood turned into mist and merged into the blood light.
He struggled to stand leaning on his sword, his chest heaving violently and his breathing heavy.
Not far away, the zombie was also in a bad situation. Its already tattered clothes were completely shattered, and its body was covered in dark red blood, which solidified into scabs in the air.
This zombie, which was once the remains of the master of the Tianjiao Lutian Sword, was now afraid of the figure of Shangguan Jiannan and his sword. He murmured, "How is it possible..." Blood kept dripping from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were full of disbelief and fear.
To return to dust is your destiny.
The blood at the corner of Shangguan Jiannan's mouth had not yet dried. He wiped it away casually, staring into the distance with deep eyes and an expressionless face.
Whoosh! The Sky-Slaying Sword glowed brightly, humming as he moved, and rushed out.
Bang! The sword trembled, causing a strong wind to rise and rage all around.
With a puff, the Killing Heaven Sword pierced through the zombie's protective blood and pierced straight into the heart.
In an instant, colorful lights bloomed like fireworks, surging in the space, dazzling and brilliant.
Shangguan Jiannan's expression suddenly changed. The zombie's facial features twisted and it let out a deafening beast roar, which made his eardrums buzz. Only the sound of the sword could be heard.
