Clip-clop … Clip-clop …!
The sound of galloping hooves resounded. Fang Zheng rode his holy white warhorse and charged straight at the undead army like a storm. Upon hearing the galloping sounds, the Undead Creatures instinctively turned around and gazed behind them. But it was already too late. Fangzheng had already rushed in front of them!
"Ha!"
Fangzheng brandished his sword without hesitation. A ray of golden blade aura flew out from his blade and struck the Necromancer in front of him. The Necromancer trembled and shattered into a pile of broken bones. The staff in his hand fell to the ground and the dark radiance on it dimmed instantly. At the same time, the nearby Skeleton Archers stood in front of the Necromancer and aimed their crossbows at the enemies.
Shing!
At the same time, the white warhorse beneath Fangzheng vanished instantly. He rolled on the ground without hesitation and dodged the first round of arrows. Then, Fangzheng raised his sword and slashed forward.
Crusader Strike!
Boom — —!
Several cross-shaped symbols erupted and shrouded the Skeleton Archers in a cloud of explosions and dust, forcefully tearing an opening in the encirclement. Facing this sudden ambush, the Undead Creatures were bewildered. However, they turned around hurriedly to defend against the attacks from the periphery.
"Maintain the enchanted field and focus!"
As one of the three Necromancers was defeated by Fangzheng, the 'weakening enchanted field' that was operating normally began to malfunction. Upon sensing the unstable magical fluctuations, the Necromancer who controlled the core of the enchanted field shouted in a deep voice. At the same time, he pointed his staff at Fangzheng and chanted an incantation softly. But what the Necromancer didn't expect was that Fangzheng raised his sword and pointed it at him before he finished preparing his spell.
What's he trying to do?
The Necromancer was taken aback by Fangzheng's actions. There were a few Undead Giants and Skeleton Soldiers between them. Could it be that Fangzheng was going to attack him?
However, before the Necromancer finished his thoughts, he felt as though his soul was being hammered by a hammer. His vision turned pitch-black all of a sudden. Then, the Necromancer lowered his head as though he had fallen asleep and didn't move at all.
Done!
Fangzheng swept a glance at the second Necromancer who stood motionless like a puppet and rolled to the side without hesitation to dodge the Skeleton Soldiers' attack. The skill he used just now was the skill 'Repentance' of the paladins in the mountain pass. It was a skill that could forcibly paralyze the opponent. Although it was only useful against undead, demons, dragons and giants.... fortunately, there was no shortage of such things in this place right now!
"Heyah!"
At this moment, Knight Conan finally rushed over from the other side. His combat power wasn't as strong as Fangzheng's, but as a battle-hardened knight, he had rich combat experience. Therefore, when Fangzheng attracted the attention of the other undead creatures, he immediately took action and entangled the last Necromancer.
As the core Necromancer had been forcefully paralyzed by Fangzheng and the other two Necromancers didn't have the time to care about anything else, the already unstable Weakening Enchanted Field was completely destroyed. It popped and burst like a bubble.
"Everyone, hurry up and charge out now!"
After losing the suppression of the 'weakening enchanted field', the group of Holy Knights who were originally surrounded by the undead creatures immediately perked up and began to break out of the encirclement.
Of course, Fangzheng wouldn't let go of this opportunity. He condensed his holy energy once again and brandished his sword. The golden holy energy erupted like a hurricane. Dozens of swords condensed from holy light instantly shot out in all directions, piercing through the bodies of the undead creatures surrounding Fangzheng. Then, the undead creatures shrieked miserably as they were burned to ashes by the holy flames. Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Fangzheng put down the sword in his hand, there were only white flames burning around him and ashes flying in the air. They drifted around like snowflakes and landed silently on the ground. Beside Fangzheng, dozens of light swords spread out in a straight line with him as the center. They hovered in the air and slowly became indifferent before disappearing into the air.
What terrifying strength!
Looking at this scene, whether it was the undead creatures, the Holy Knights who were waiting for reinforcements, or Knight Conan, all of them sucked in a breath of cold air. These were not ordinary undead creatures. They were the most loyal guards of the Lich. In terms of strength, even the weakest Skeleton Archer had the strength to fight against a regular soldier. This was also the reason why the elites of the Paladins were trapped here. But they didn't expect that the reinforcements that suddenly appeared were so powerful. In just the blink of an eye, the undead were turned into ashes in front of him. Even if it were them, they wouldn't be able to kill these damn monsters so easily if they faced them alone.
Of course, they didn't know that Fangzheng wasn't the only one who created this situation. In fact, this was the result of many factors. First, Fangzheng's Royal Cross Swordsmanship contained Holy Light, which could restrain Undead creatures. In addition, his Sky Breaker Sword also increased his Holy Damage by 100%. Not to mention, Fangzheng's Soul Stone was embedded with [Arthas], which increased his damage to all undead creatures by 50%. Not to mention, his [Divine Guardian] title also increased his damage to the Evil Faction by 100%. In this way, Fangzheng's damage to the undead creatures was above 250%. This level of damage was basically enough to crush ordinary undead creatures.
The undead creatures quickly changed their tactics. Soon, an Undead Giant charged towards Fangzheng. It opened its mouth and let out an angry roar. At the same time, it raised its wooden club and smashed it down on Fangzheng.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, as the Undead Giant's wooden club descended, Fangzheng rolled backward. The huge wooden club brushed past Fangzheng's afterimage and hit the ground heavily. However, before the Undead Giant could raise its wooden club again, Fangzheng, who was originally rolling backward to dodge, suddenly charged forward. The Sky Splitting Sword in his hand drew a crescent arc behind him with a bright and dazzling holy light, whistling as it slashed down diagonally. With a flash of silver light, the Undead Giant's movement suddenly came to a halt. Then, its head slid off its neck with a "puchi" sound, and the Undead Giant's huge body fell to the ground with a loud thud.
"Great swordsmanship!"
The middle-aged knight's eyes narrowed. He had witnessed the swordsmanship that Fangzheng had displayed, but he wasn't too surprised. After all, there were all kinds of swordsmanship in this world. Some were inherited, some were obtained through fortuitous encounters, and some even created their own set of swordsmanship — — because it wasn't surprising that these swordsmanship were powerful. Perhaps Fangzheng's previous attack would only make an ordinary person tremble in fear. But to most of the truly powerful warriors, it was only 'powerful'.
However, the counterattack that Fangzheng used after dodging the Undead Giant's attack wasn't fanciful at all. It truly displayed the foundation of his swordsmanship. Clean and efficient, without the slightest bit of sloppiness. As the saying goes, amateurs enjoy the show, while experts appreciate the artistry. Showy but impractical moves were suitable to set off the scene, but a real battlefield was always cruel and direct. It was far from as fancy as what was depicted in movies, television shows, and novels. Not to mention, although swordsmanship was the key to victory, one's true strength still depended on one's basic skills.
But of course, this wasn't the time to flatter each other. Along with Fangzheng's unreasonable intervention, the situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed. One-third of the undead creatures had been eliminated, and even the necromancers and Undead Giants, who were the main force, had been eliminated by Fangzheng. Without the restraint of the 'Weakening Boundary', the other knights could finally unleash their full strength.
The roles of the hunter and the prey were reversed instantly. The Undead Creatures that had previously beaten up the Temple Knights were now surrounded by their prey. After losing the protection of the Necromancers and the deterrence of the Undead Giants, the rest of the Undead Creatures were slaughtered by the group in no time at all.
"Thank you for your help!"
After the crisis was resolved, the middle-aged knight stepped forward, gazed at Fangzheng, and nodded to him in a friendly manner.
"It's really rare to meet a companion here. I'm Matt, the commander of the 13th Episcopal Division. May I know who you are …"
"My name is Fangzheng."
Fangzheng smiled at the man in front of him.
"I'm a Trainee Guardian Knight of the Star-Moon City Temple. I came here with Great Knight Stone for a rescue mission, but unfortunately …"
Having said that, Fangzheng looked around and shrugged helplessly.
"Something seemed to have gone wrong. We got separated, but fortunately, I met Knight Conan …."
"You're indeed lucky."
Matt nodded in agreement. He had already asked Knight Conan about Fangzheng's identity, so he naturally had a certain understanding of Fangzheng's identity. When Matt learned that this young man was only a trainee Guardian Knight, he was greatly astonished. It had to be known that Fangzheng's final strike was of an extremely high standard. If not for the fact that Fangzheng was a veteran who had fought on the battlefield for many years, Matt would never have believed that such a strike was so direct and without any hesitation. Now that he saw how young Fangzheng was, Matt could not help but be surprised.
After all, although the swordsmanship Fangzheng displayed was magnificent and powerful, it could still be explained by the fact that he was well-learned. But for a young man less than 20 years old to have such a thorough understanding of swordsmanship, Matt could not understand it. Even if he started practicing swordsmanship in his mother's womb all the way until now, he still would not have such an achievement.
Of course, Matt would never have imagined that the reason why Sheyan could be so proficient in swordsmanship was because he had already died countless times ….
"My Lord, the battlefield has been cleaned up."
As the two of them chatted, the knight who was responsible for cleaning the battlefield trotted to their side. After bowing respectfully, he passed a few pitch-black crystal-like objects to them.
"There are actually mid-grade spirit crystals?"
Matt frowned as he looked at the crystals handed over by his subordinate. He reached out his hand and picked up one of the black crystals that was about the size of a thumb. This was the spirit crystal left behind by an undead creature after its death. In fact, all creatures on this continent had a similar existence. However, it also depended on the species. Creatures like magical beasts and undead creatures that existed due to the influence of magic could drop a spirit crystal after their death. On the other hand, creatures like humans and animals needed to use special methods to absorb their souls and condense them into spirit crystals.
Of course, this method was dangerous, cruel, and forbidden. Only necromancers would use this method to plunder power.
Spirit crystals could be said to be quite valuable. They could be used as the energy core of alchemy constructs, as well as the energy supply for magic circles and teleportation circles. Judging from the quality of these spirit crystals, they could be sold for a considerable amount of money in alchemy shops or the Mage Association.
"These are your spoils of war, Mr. Fangzheng," said Matt as he handed over the spirit crystals.
As he spoke, Matt handed over the Soul Crystals to Fangzheng. Fangzheng took them and weighed them in his hand. Just as he was about to say something, Fangzheng suddenly heard a 'ding' from the System.

What?
Fangzheng was stunned when he saw the system prompt.
