Chapter 157 Ashes to dust, dust to dust
He clenched his teeth, ignored the roar around him, stomped his feet hard, and the sword moved forward, making a sharp hissing sound.
The zombie's body was blown away, and Shangguan Jiannan followed closely behind, rising up again with his sword as powerful as a rainbow.
The light was flowing everywhere and the aura of terror was surging, completely enveloping the zombies.
With a loud bang, the zombie fell heavily to the ground. Shangguan Jiannan's palm force penetrated the ground, and the ground broke into pieces. The solid floor turned into pieces in an instant.
Shangguan Jiannan gathered strength in his palm and slashed down with the long sword, wrapping the zombie's body around him. The roar was earth-shaking, and the ground instantly broke into pieces, turning into thousands of fragments. Along with it was a surging tide of spiritual energy, as if the heaven and earth changed color. The roar was endless, echoing all around, making people's hearts palpitate.
"Hah!" Shangguan Jiannan roared angrily, his aura was like a rainbow, the brilliant light surrounding his body surged wildly, the ground was torn apart like fragile paper under this force, gravel flew everywhere, the space within dozens of feet was completely enveloped by this explosive force.
He exerted more strength, and a strong gust of wind swept out, sweeping away the surrounding red light and revealing an open space several feet wide.
The light on the Sword of Killing the Sky was bright, like a falling star, drawing dazzling tracks in the dark space, which was breathtaking.
Shangguan Jiannan looked wild, pouring out all his strength. Every blow contained the power to destroy the world. The thick underground rock strata crumbled under his endless offensive and collapsed into a bottomless pit.
The light of the Slaying Sword became brighter and brighter, completely devouring the zombies, leaving only streaks of light raging in the void.
Suddenly, a crisp sound like flowing water was heard, and with a flick of Shangguan Jiannan's wrist, the Sword of Slaying Heaven was pulled out of the zombie's body. The zombie lost its support and fell heavily into the huge pit, stirring up a cloud of dust.
However, something unexpected happened. The Slaying Heaven Sword suddenly burst out with countless streams of light, shining brightly like an upside-down Milky Way, and went straight into the depths of the giant pit.
Shangguan Jiannan stared at the scene with a serious look, feeling ominous in his heart.
This zombie was once the famous master of the Slaying Heaven Sword. The secrets and power contained in him seem to be awakened by some force at this moment and are flowing into an unknown abyss.
He knew very well that all this might just be the beginning, and the exit to the underworld was slowly unveiling its mysterious and dangerous veil.
If the Slaughter Heaven Sword insisted on accompanying him and staying here, it would be too late for him to regret.
The Sky-Slaying Sword in his hand suddenly burst out with astonishing power, vibrating and humming like a wild horse breaking free from its restraints, cutting through the air and hovering steadily above the huge pit.
Shangguan Jiannan's face suddenly changed, and he stared at the scene, shocked.
I saw the body of the Killing Heaven Sword emitting golden light, pouring down like a waterfall, endless.
In the golden light, the golden characters moved around like living things, and then, as if guided by invisible forces, they were imprinted one by one on the surging ocean of golden light below, stirring up layers of delicate waves.
Shangguan Jiannan's eyes widened in disbelief, and his surprise was beyond words.
This scene did not last too long. After dozens of breaths, the light on the Slaying Heaven Sword gradually converged and slowly descended.
Shangguan Jiannan stretched out his body and rushed out quickly. He grabbed the sword in his hand in mid-air, turned his body lightly, landed steadily, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking down at the ground again, the deep pit was completely covered by the dazzling golden light, with golden runes rising and falling one after another, shining brightly.
Shangguan Jiannan stood on the edge, staring at the re-sealed zombie through the golden light. His tense expression finally relaxed and he let out a long breath.
"I thought this zombie would be a big trouble, but now it seems that I was worrying too much."
He thought to himself, feeling relieved, yet unable to hide the surprise on his face.
Once his tense nerves relaxed, fatigue and weakness came flooding in like a tide. Shangguan Jiannan felt dizzy and his body fell backwards involuntarily, hitting the ground heavily, causing a shower of gravel to splash.
In the distance, Yin Wuqing witnessed all this with a gloomy expression on his face. The azure sword in his hand shone brightly and brilliantly, as if it was also expressing unknown emotions.
In this world, the agitation of spiritual energy suddenly intensified, like an undercurrent before a storm, which was heart-pounding.
The brilliant red light, like the warmest sunset in the sky, rolled endlessly, yet carried with it an indescribable terror that enveloped the surroundings.
Yin Wuqing stood dozens of feet away, his eyes deep, fixed on the depths of the red light - there, hidden his only concern, Shangguan Jiannan.
Although he was extremely worried, Yin Wuqing could only keep his distance. Even he felt a chill from the power contained in the ever-changing cyclone.
He prayed in his heart: "I hope everything is fine."
The sound of explosions came one after another, like the sound of war drums, bringing him a little comfort. At least, it meant that the battle was still going on and Shangguan Jiannan might still be fighting.
However, something unexpected happened. The thunderous sound gradually subsided, and the wild red light seemed to lose its vitality and slowly returned to calm.
The air around him froze instantly, Yin Wuqing's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his heart rose to his throat.
"What happened?" he exclaimed to himself, his palms clenched involuntarily and he stared ahead nervously.
The red light gradually faded, revealing the true scene underneath, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger.
The light dissipated at an astonishing speed, as if it was gently wiped away by an invisible hand and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the clear sky. His clothes were torn, he was dying, and his body was covered in blood. It was Shangguan Jiannan.
"Shangguan Jiannan!" Yin Wuqing cried out, his voice filled with shock and anxiety that were difficult to conceal.
He moved, turned into a bolt of lightning, and rushed towards the weak figure.
As his sleeves waved, a gust of wind blew up, sweeping away the remaining red halo, leaving only clarity and urgency.
At this moment, Yin Wuqing's entire attention was focused on Shangguan Jiannan. All his worries and expectations turned into the power of the wind under his feet. He wanted to rush to the person he had to protect as quickly as possible.
The night was as dark as ink. Yin Wuqing's figure quietly descended beside Shangguan Jiannan. His eyes swept across the slightly embarrassed figure lying not far away, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
"Hmm..." Shangguan Jiannan felt the change in the surrounding atmosphere and groaned weakly. His heavy eyelids slowly lifted and his sight gradually focused on the blurry figure.
"Master...Father."
He uttered these two words with difficulty. Although his voice was light, it revealed a hint of relief and ease.
After the fierce battle, his body was almost exhausted, and only the persistence and joy in his heart supported him.
"It's good to be alive."
