Dark, shadowy clouds filled the sky, blocking out the sun. An endless army of undead that stretched as far as the eye could see surrounded Lu Zhou City.
Darkness, death, and desolation were descending upon this city!
In the square in front of the city gate, many evolvers lit torches. The light from the torches shone on a crude wooden barrel placed in the center of the square. Inside the barrel was some gray jelly-like liquid.
The king of Shadow Island, Karsus, the Singer of Death, had given them the condition to surrender:
Drink the "Necromancy Water" in the barrel and turn into an undead creature. From then on, they would become the slaves of Shadow Island.
Otherwise, the masters of death would command the army of the undead to crush everything in Luzhou City, be it evolvers, soldiers, or civilians!
Wu Yan, the emissary of Shadow Island, stood in front of the barrel. He looked at Lin Xi, who was walking over, with satisfaction.
Karsus did not mistreat Wu Yan for taking the initiative to surrender to the undead and being the first to drink the Necromancy Water. The current young man was ten times stronger than before. Due to the limitations of his body and mind, he was unable to master magic.
Other than psionic energy, Wu Yan also sensed the pure energy of death.
The energy of the dead!
If he mixed the psionic energy and the energy of death together, it would definitely produce a cocktail of changes, and he would truly become a top expert.
As the Carthusians put it:
Death was just the beginning.
Wu Yan, who was wearing a black robe and had his face covered by a hat, stared at the person standing in front of the barrel.
In the past, he had suffered greatly at the hands of this young man. He had received deep humiliation, but … it was all in the past. From now on, everything would change! Even if Lin Xi joined Shadow Island, his status would still be below him.
With a superior attitude, Wu Yan scooped up a full cup of Necromancy Water from the barrel and handed it over. In a low voice, he said slowly, "Drink it, Lin Xi.
"Just drink, Lin Xi, this is the fate of Wan people. All of you will become slaves."
Lin Xi took the wooden cup and looked at the gray liquid inside, which was neither black nor white and emitted the aura of death and decay.
"But at what price?"
Wu Yan raised his hand and took off the hood of his black cloak, revealing a handsome face. After drinking the Death Spirit Water, his appearance had been completely restored. Moreover, his originally dark purple skin had turned into the pale white of an undead.
"Become as handsome as me!"
Gray light formed stripes on his face. Together with the two eyes formed by the light, he exuded an evil and strange charm.
Coldly looking at the young man who had turned into an undead, Lin Xi poured the water of the dead souls back into the barrel.
"Sizzle …"
Wu Yan took a deep breath and was about to speak, but the space around him suddenly fluctuated, causing him to obediently shut his mouth and retreat. This meant that a powerful existence from the Dark Shadow Island had arrived using "Flash".
A tyrannical and evil aura instantly filled the entire square.
"You, dare to refuse this gift?"
A deep and hoarse voice with great pressure shouted. Then, a huge figure slowly walked over. It was a tall and strong shadow centaur. Its whole body was covered in ferocious-looking armor, and a flame-like spiritual light rose from the gaps of the armor.
The ground where the four hooves walked, the white cement, became gray and cracked.
The Shadow of War: Hecarim!
The Shadow of War was the evil spirit that represented fear and tyranny. The aura he emitted could even affect the minds of evolvers.
Violence, killing intent, hatred … all kinds of negative emotions were born in some people's hearts.
Living people had a natural aversion to undead creatures.
As evolvers, they had a higher status. The people here were the elites of the entire Wan Province, but the Dark Shadow Island actually wanted to treat them like slaves! They were already angry.
Being stared at by countless pairs of angry eyes, the Shadow of War raised his arm and pointed his two-and-a-half-meter long sword at the crowd. "Bastards, do you want to destroy us?"
Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore.
A red object was thrown at Hecarim. When it landed on the ground, it quickly expanded and exploded into a violent wave of flames.
Cherry Bomb!
No one knew who started it, but the other evolvers were afraid of the Shadow of War's power and didn't step forward. However, they also took out the combat plants that Zhou Qingyun had given them during the meeting.
Under the illumination of the fire, the cherry bombs drew a long parabola in the night sky and smashed to the ground.
The explosions, flames, and shockwaves kept spreading, causing Hecarim to hesitate for a moment. Although this kind of attack couldn't hurt him, there were too many people attacking him. For a moment, he didn't know which one to attack.
Flames burned in Su Hongying's eyes.
She knew that now was the best time to kill the Shadow of War and weaken the power of the Dark Shadow Island!
She took out a giant exploding nut with a diameter of more than three meters from her inventory.
The nut that flashed with a dangerous red light had to hit the enemy to detonate.
"So heavy!"
Su Hongying found that she couldn't move the nut at all after putting it on the ground.
"We're here to help!"
Yue Lei, Zhang Menghan, and a evolver with Three stars rushed over together. They tried to move the nut but found that it was too heavy. They looked around and found a Corn Cannon nearby.
The three muscular men shouted, and their muscles bulged. They moved the corn cannons away from the cart where the plants were placed. Then, they lifted the heavy explosive nuts and placed them on the cart. Pushing the cart, they charged at the Shadow of War.
These people didn't have a good relationship with Su Hongying. They didn't like each other, but at this moment, for survival, to fight against the Dark Shadow Island, and to kill Hecarim, everyone stood on the same side!
"Bastards, you're asking for death!"
In the flames and shockwaves of the cherry bomb, the furious Shadow of War, Hecarim, roared. At this moment, he saw a target.
A green light flashed on the Centaur Evil Spirit's giant saber. A huge amount of dark psionic energy boiled and turned into a green flame that could devour everything. It rushed out of the saber, and a terrifying energy wave exploded beside Zhang Menghan and the other two!
The evolvers with Three stars were directly deprived of their lives when they were touched by the dark psionic energy that was mixed with fear and curse. Their skin and flesh withered, revealing their rotting bones. They looked like dried corpses that had been dead for many years.
Yue Lei and Zhang Menghan, one with a five-star bloodline, had high magic resistance, and the other with enhanced attributes, so they survived. However, they were also heavily injured and fell to the ground.
"Not good!" Su Hongying's expression changed drastically. One of the wheels of the cart with the giant explosive nut exploded.
As if it was shaken, the nut was flashing with a red light, and it could explode at any time!
"Let me!"
On the chaotic battlefield filled with explosions, flames, and roars, Lin Xi opened his eyes wide and rushed toward the giant explosive nut that was at the edge of the explosion. This was a trump card against the boss, so he couldn't waste it!
"Argh … Get up!"
Lin Xi gritted his teeth and tried to lift the nut. However, even with the strength of 20 people, he could only lift it a little.
"It's dangerous! Run!" Su Hongying shouted in panic.
"Hot blood!"
In his eyes, a crimson light suddenly exploded. In an instant, an enormous power erupted, and the giant exploding nut was sent flying. It rolled on the ground and landed next to Hecarim with a loud rumble.
Boom!
After the three-meter-wide nut exploded, there were no fragments, because the violent energy that rushed out from the inside had shaken the shell of the nut into the tiniest particles!
A ring-shaped shockwave that was visible to the naked eye, mixed with scorching flames, spread in all directions. It swept across an area of thousands of square meters, turning the square into a burning sea of red.
"Roar …"
The heavily injured Shadow of War roared in anger and pain. Some green light seeped out from the gaps in the armor. It was its blood!
The flames blocked his vision, and Hecarim tried his best to use his eyes made of spirit fire to look around. He swore that he would use the cruelest method to kill everyone. He would use fear, curses, death, and torture to make these people regret everything they had done!
A girl suddenly rushed into the sea of fire, raised the weapon in her hand, and jumped up high. Just then, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and landed on the giant saber that was almost two meters long.
Dong Qing!
She summoned lightning to strengthen her weapon and used the lightning to destroy the dark energy! This move was almost like a weaker version of the seventh strike of the Purple Thunder Saber Technique, Heaven Rending Furious Thunder! The green lightning was definitely more harmful to the undead than the flames!
The beheading saber hit the Shadow of War's head and peeled off the helmet. Dark spiritual energy surged up and resisted the evil-destroying power of the thunder and lightning. The collision of negative and positive almost produced the power of chaos that could destroy everything!
"Ugh …"
Dong Qing spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying far away from the explosion. Even though he had Combat Aura to protect his body, this time, he was only left with half of his life. The beheading broadsword, which had thousands of points, was shattered into iron scraps with a "bang" due to the collision of the lightning and spiritual energy.
Hecarim was heavily injured again. His helmet was broken, and the face made of pure dark psionic energy was distorted.
Some of the remaining green lightning flowed along the armor.
"Giant exploding nut and lightning strike. Still not dead?"
Lin Xi gritted his teeth, activated Outburst, and rushed into the flames and lightning. He took out the Doom Shroom from his inventory with his right hand and pressed it against the head of the Shadow of War. He stabbed the Doom Shroom into the ghost-like face and into the armor!
A destructive aura was brewing.
Under this aura, even the burning flames were raging, dancing and rising violently.
The Shadow of War's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Lin Xi through the flames. The green eyes burning with spirit fire were filled with hatred and violence. Just looking at them would make one feel the pain of being swallowed by death!
Its armor was trembling as if it was suppressing a volcano that was about to erupt, but …
Su Hongying, who was rushing over, pushed Lin Xi to the ground. The next second, the Shadow of War's armor exploded into pieces with an earth-shattering explosion. Endless flames mixed with air waves formed a tsunami-like shockwave that engulfed the entire square!
A black mushroom cloud slowly rose. Under the clouds, there was a distorted and roaring centaur phantom that was dissipating …
The burning flames were quickly extinguished.
One by one, the posthumans crawled up from the ground and looked around. The Shadow of War, Hecarim, had disappeared. There was only a giant dark green saber stuck in the center of the square.
"Dead?"
Wu Yan, who was lying on the ground, trembled all over. These people actually killed the Shadow of War! The monarchs of Shadow Island, Karsus and Maud Caesar, would definitely take revenge! The entire Luzhou City would be destroyed!
Although he was evil, he could not bear the thought of hundreds of posthumans and tens of millions of ordinary people dying in Wan Province.
"No, this should not be the fate of the people of Wan Province …" Wu Yan groaned in pain.
In the distance, the army of undead surrounding Luzhou City had already begun their charge.
"Times have changed."
Xiao Qiang walked past Wu Yan and walked to the place where the Shadow of War had disappeared. He grabbed the heavy, dark green saber covered in magical patterns and threw it to Lin Xi.
He turned around and looked at the terrifying tide of undead that was getting closer and closer.
"For survival!
For freedom! "
The clothes on Xiao Qiang's upper body were blown to pieces by the energy that rushed out of his body, revealing his bulging muscles that were like rebar and covered in veins. He roared at the sky.
"The people of Wan Province will never be slaves!"
That's right, as posthumans, as humans who yearned for freedom and survival in the real world, how could they become slaves of Shadow Island?
"The people of Wan Province will never be slaves!"
Deafening roars resounded in the square one after another. One by one, the evolvers picked up their weapons and charged towards the dark, surging wave of the undead army that was about to drown everything. They charged forward fanatically and without hesitation!
