The rain continued to pour. The people in the clock tower were just immersed in the sorrow of the Space of Death when another piece of shocking news arrived.
"More than half of the second platoon of the military are dead. Only around eight members of the third platoon of Hunters are still alive. The Imperial Magicians are surrounded by the Mountain Zombie …" reported an Imperial Magician.
"(Sigh), so many people died, but it's still the same Space of Death," Ling Xi shook her head when she heard the report.
"That's why we should preserve our strength. Perhaps we could still hold on until reinforcements arrived. It's hard to say if the Dark Abyss is really moving to the inner city. Maybe the Black Vatican is just bluffing. We've lost so many people in such a short period of time. It's going to be difficult for us to protect the inner city, "said Chu Jia.
"Do you think it's meaningless to say that now? Besides, the reason why we're in such a great calamity is because we've underestimated the Black Vatican. If you're using your words, you should be saying that the Magic Association, the Hunter Union, the military, and the Hundred Renowned Clans didn't try everything they could to deal with the Black Vatican. Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way. I don't think the Black Vatican is just bluffing. The Dark Abyss is indeed drifting toward us, and the imperial tomb is right below it. If we're lucky, I feel like we're getting closer to our doom, "replied Du Xiao, who seemed to have put up with Chu Jia for a long time.
Chu Jia was displeased when he heard the words. He was about to retort, but Du Xiao was too lazy to argue with him.
He walked to the edge and a pair of wings appeared on his back. There was a clear gap on the wings, a sign that he had been injured before.
"What are you going to do?" asked Chu Jia.
"I've rested enough. I'm going to save some people," Du Xiao beat his wings and leapt into the air.
His speed was very fast, and when he flapped his wings, the rain around him dispersed. Not long after, Du Xiao had already disappeared from everyone's sight.

Space of Death
The silver vortex finally disappeared, and no more undead fell from the sky. However, the spacious land was suddenly filled with so many hideous creatures. Su Xiaoluo and Liu Ru's faces turned extremely pale!
Even though they had seen an even larger undead army and had personally fought their way out, they had been protected by a large group of powerful mages. Right now, they were the only ones in this space.
Four people, that was just four people.
Zhang Xiaohou was an Intermediate Magician, while Mofan had just reached the Advanced Level. However, he was unable to cast an Advanced Spell as he had yet to learn how to construct a Star Constellation. His advancement had only improved his energy significantly. There was no way he could handle so many undead!
"Brother Fan." Zhang Xiaohou's forehead was covered in sweat.
The number of undead had exceeded his imagination. It was even more than the number of undead he had encountered at Xianchi. There were close to two thousand of them, enough to form a huge tide of undead and devour the four of them in an instant.
"Swift Star Wolf, Little Flame Belle, come out." Mofan did not waste any time. He immediately drew the Star Orbits and Star Patterns of the Summoning Element.
Summoning two Summoned Beasts at once meant that the situation was extremely serious. Mofan had to give it his all!
The Swift Star Wolf soon showed up beside Mofan. Its fur drifted in the wind and the presence of the undead. Its white fangs poked out from its lips, almost reaching its chin!
"Protect them," Mofan immediately said to the Swift Star Wolf.
Liu Ru was fine. Her close-combat ability was a lot stronger than the Swift Star Wolf's, but Su Xiaoluo was in dire need of protection. She was a Poison Magician. Her cultivation was not outstanding, and she spent most of her time refining herbs.
When Zhang Xiaohou saw that Mofan had stopped talking, he knew he was in a serious mood.
It was true that the overwhelming number of undead was a dead end for them. If there was anything worth celebrating, it would be that Mofan had just broken through and become an Advanced Fire Magician.
"Little Flame Belle, stay with Zhang Xiaohou," Mofan glanced at Little Flame Belle floating beside him and said.
"Brother Fan, I don't …"
"Do as I say," Mofan did not give Zhang Xiaohou a chance to finish his sentence.
Zhang Xiaohou opened his mouth, but did not say anything in the end.
"They're here!" Liu Ru's voice was equally deep.
The place was not very spacious. The undead soon picked up the scent of living humans. They let out unpleasant cries of hunger, and their slow, mechanical movement suddenly turned into a sprint, like a bunch of refugees fighting for food!
The zombies were the greediest. They were at the front of the pack. The sturdy ground began to crack under their weight!
Mofan took a deep breath. His right fist was engulfed in blazing red flames. The flames were swaying in the air.
He was waiting, waiting for the zombies at the front to enter the range of his Fiery Fist.
"This is the Gate of Death, are we going to die here …" Su Xiaoluo was biting her lips so hard that they were bleeding. She could not help but blurt out in a cowardly manner.
The Gate of Death, this was the Gate of Death. There were so many undead here, and there were only four of them.
They were going to die. The people in the inner city were going to die, too. They would not be able to escape in the end. Everyone was going to die before dawn, and become part of the bloody carpet of the insane Salan's grand ceremony.
"We don't have to walk to survive, we have to kill our way out!" Mofan did not turn around, but his words were directed at Su Xiaoluo, who was about to give up.
"Fiery Fist!"
The flames flickered. Mofan finally threw the flames on his fist forward. Nine fiery dragons swept across the gray ground recklessly, wriggling their fiery bodies as they charged at the zombies at the front.
There were about fifty to sixty zombies at the front, and they were considered the fastest among all the zombies.
When the fiery dragons lunged at them, the zombies immediately dodged to the side with their nimble movements, dodging Mofan's fiery dragons.
However, the fiery dragons were not stupid enough to fly straight ahead. The flames emitting from their bodies were extremely hot. As long as the flames made contact with their bodies, they would be set ablaze!
The Fiery Fist: Nine Dragons was extremely imperious. Its area of effect was extremely wide. Most of the sixty zombies had no chance to dodge, and were devoured by the Fiery Fist in the shape of a fan!
The ashes of the zombies turned into a cloud of black dust, drifting wildly in the air.
Mofan stepped forward slightly, and the next Star Pattern appeared once again …
Previously, the Magicians had cleared a path to the Dark Abyss through the ocean of undead. This time, Mofan was going to clear a path for himself at the Gate of Death!
