The power of a single sword strike was enough to shake heaven and earth!
Everyone stared in shock at the chunks of flesh and blood falling from the sky.
It was almost as if they had forgotten that they were on a cruel battlefield, and had forgotten about their injuries.
Ling Xiao!
What a terrifying young man!
He had killed twelve Lifeseizers with a single sword strike. That was more shocking than an army of a million soldiers.
Just how strong was he?!
Shangguan Hong looked at Ling Xiao's back, and although he wasn't particularly burly, he was like a shield standing in front of everyone, shielding them from any danger.
Everyone in Black Crow City suddenly felt a sense of security.
Shangguan Hong shook his head with a wry smile.
He had been worried that Ling Xiao had come here to throw his life away, but now it seemed he had been overthinking things.
All of a sudden, he thought back to when Ling Xiao had first arrived in the God-Phoenix Empire. Back then, he had been nothing more than an insignificant deva.
He had been so insignificant that Shangguan Hong hadn't even noticed him.
However, not long after, his arm was chopped off by Ling Xiao's sword.
Of course, it wasn't an exchange of blows that led to friendship. After that incident, Shangguan Hong and Ling Xiao had become friends.
Ling Xiao had healed his severed arm.
From that point on, Shangguan Hong had been paying close attention to Ling Xiao's growth, and had been shocked by how quickly he had progressed.
Even still, Shangguan Hong could never have imagined that a seventeen-year-old Ling Xiao would be able to kill twelve Lifeseizers with a single sword strike.
It was like a volcano had erupted in Shangguan Hong's heart, and it took him a long time to calm down.
The gap between them was growing wider and wider. That said, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven was becoming more and more competent.
"All soldiers, heed my orders. Do not engage in battle without permission. Leave it to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven!"
Shang Guan Hong gave a very strange order.
However, almost everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with this order.
The battle was now between Ling Xiao and the allied army, and had nothing to do with them.
RUMBLE!
All of a sudden, a massive boom rang out from the enemy camp, and hundreds of soldiers were sent flying into the air.
The two corpses on the flagpole were nowhere to be seen.
"Brother Ling is too much. How could he be the only one in the limelight?"
Fan Ruohai carried the two corpses back to Black Raven City.
"Brother Fan, leave today's battle to me. Please help me take care of the people in Black Raven City. I will repay you in the future."
Ling Xiao glanced at Meng Tong and Xin's corpses. Their faces were already unrecognizable, but because they were too familiar, he knew that these two were his good comrades, good brothers.
His voice was as cold as the Nine Hells Cold Spring.
His heart was bleeding.
"Alright."
Fan Ruohai knew that Ling Xiao needed to vent. If he didn't, he would suffocate to death.
Therefore, he nodded in agreement.
Ling Xiao took out a large number of healing pills from his Storage Ring and gave them to Ling Sha, saying, "Give them to the warriors who are seriously injured first. I don't want any more soldiers to die in Black Raven City."
"Yes."
Ling Sha nodded. Even now, she still doubted how Ling Xiao would be able to face the million-strong alliance army alone.
However, she was still willing to follow Ling Xiao's orders.
After all, Ling Xiao had saved her life in the past, and had displayed incredible strength.
By this point, the alliance army had retreated quite a distance.
Black Raven City and the alliance army were separated by roughly half a kilometer of empty land.
Countless corpses were piled up on top of each other, as if they were telling of the cruelty of victory.
Qin Yu, Qingqiu Lian, and the other Seafolk and Skysea Empire generals all stared coldly at Ling Xiao.
"He wants to fight our million-strong army all by himself? What do you think?"
Qin Yu asked with a cold laugh.
"He's looking to die!"
Qingqiu Lian said coldly.
"That's right. He's looking to die!"
The other two said.
"Qin Yu, you know him well. What do you think we should do?"
Qingqiu Lian asked.
"For now, let's just attack together. With hundreds of Lifeseizers, plus the two of us, killing him should be easy.
As for the ordinary soldiers, tell them to fall back. They'll just be throwing their lives away, and will only hinder us. "
Qin Yu thought for a moment.
"Alright!"
Qingqiu Lian gave the order, and the army fell back a hundred meters.
Only the Lifeseizers remained at the front of the formation.
With Qin Yu and Qingqiu Lian in the lead, there were a total of four hundred and sixty-seven soldiers.
Without the protection of the spell formations, they could easily destroy the entire celestial dynasty.
After all, other than Ling Xiao and a few other people, the celestial dynasty didn't have many Lifeseizers.
Thankfully, Ling Xiao was an expert in spell formations, and had given the Ministry of Works a large number of spell formation diagrams.
They were used in virtually every city, and could be used to defend against bandits and demonlings.
When large-scale battles broke out, they could be used to defend against invaders.
"Ling Xiao," Qingqiu Lian said, "your growth is truly astonishing. You can't live any longer. If you do, we won't be able to survive!"
Qin Yu rose into the air and looked at Ling Xiao coldly as he said, "Today is the day you die!"
Ling Xiao didn't respond. Instead, the aura of darkness around him grew stronger and stronger.
Down on the battlefield, terrifying baleful blood energy flowed into him.
RUMBLE!
Terrifying rumbling sounds filled the air.
In that instant, Ling Xiao had accumulated enough power to transform into a Heavenly Devil War God.
He had long silver hair, silver devilish eyes, pitch-black devilish wings, and a terrifying devilish sword.
What a terrifying devil-god!
He stood there in the air, looking down coldly at everything in front of him.
A powerful devilish will erupted, enveloping the enemy forces.
As of this moment, the millions of soldiers felt nauseous and dizzy.
They began to tremble violently, almost as if they had been grabbed by a ghost, and couldn't move at all.
"What's going on?"
Qingqiu Lian asked, looking at Ling Xiao in terror. Only now did she realize what sort of person she had offended.
"Retreat!"
Qin Yu said, turning to flee, leaving everyone behind, including his fellow disciples from the Black Tortoise Temple.
Of everyone present, he was the only one who could fight back against the devilish will.
At the very least, he wouldn't submit completely.
"You think you can escape?"
Ling Xiao said, looking off into the distance. Finally, he slashed out with the devilish sword of darkness.
Devilish Sword of Darkness: City Extermination!
This was a move even more powerful than Divine Soul Extermination. It was a terrifying sword energy that could destroy an entire city.
"Not good!"
Qingqiu Lian and the others cried out in alarm as they tried to break free from the devilish will.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The terrifying sword energy was like a black waterfall that streaked through the air.
It was dozens of meters wide, and seemingly limitless in length as it stabbed forward.
There was no blood, only bits and pieces of flesh.
It was as if the sword had opened a new path.
Wherever the Sword Qi went, there was nothing left.
All of the Lifeseizers, Qingqiu Lian included, as well as the tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers on the path of sword energy, were all killed by the sword.
Only Qin Yu didn't die.
