Candle Dragon to the left

Chapter 783 14. The dead march to pave the way for the new king

The cold wind blew across the wasteland with fine snow, and the sky suddenly darkened.

On the cast iron pier, Li Chi, the commander-in-chief of the Jiuxiao Guards, looked at the ice surface of the Wusong River and estimated the time in his mind.

The place was filled with thick ice fog. Li Chi looked back and could see the mottled corners of the ice fog. A huge building stood here. It was once part of the Beiyuan Great Wall and was used to resist the monsters from the vast sea. After the war, this part was used as a dam on the Wusong River to lock the mountains of corpses and seas of blood floating down from the upper reaches of the Wusong River.

Li Chi led a law army of thousands of people to station here, including three conquering creatures. This scale could even occupy a large world in the universe, but at this moment Li Chi thought he did not have much chance of winning.

After all, it was the evil demon who easily fought his way out of the royal city... No, it wasn't even a bloody path, the evil demon didn't kill anyone. In this situation, forgiving without reason is often more terrifying than killing.

The icy fog was thick and sticky, like a quagmire.

The sun in the sky was blurry, like a boiled egg, and its warmth could hardly shine through the thick ice fog onto the embankment.

The lightning patterns on the commander-in-chief's armor flickered, and he found that his boots were sticking to the cast iron dock. What was under his feet was not ice crystals, but iron plates that came alive and were slowly moving. The dark spirit was flowing and had infiltrated here unknowingly.

The next moment, a loud noise was heard from a hundred feet away, and black clouds rushed towards the dam.

The dock where Li Chi was standing began to shake, the entire river surface was shaking, and the shaking of the ice became clearer and clearer. Li Chi saw a large number of black shadows emerging from the ice mist, like a huge high wall approaching. The ice surface of the Wusong River slowly cracked, and the raised spine broke through the ice surface like a sharp knife and swam towards the dam.

The Jiuxiao Guards on the dam had been on alert for a long time, their field of vision was wider than that of the commander-in-chief. The heavy breathing of three warring creatures was stirring the spiritual energy, and the shadow of the Thunder Ring appeared behind them. They were given special privileges by the God, and they could sense Taoism and use magic in this forbidden land. These warring creatures were the key to guarding this place.

But they still haven't figured out what exactly attacked them.

Several hideous monsters broke out of the water, smashing the dock as they rose and fell, leaving a notch on the corner of the embankment. The commander-in-chief jumped up, swung his spear and pierced the skull of a monster, but strangely, the monster turned into a dark shadow after being pierced and disappeared on the tip of the spear.

"Boom!" The ice on the Wusong River was overturned and the river water surged back!

Li Chi looked back and found that he was surrounded by hundreds of such monsters.

"Playing tricks!" The commander shouted with a tremor in his voice. He stepped onto the iron wall of the dam, and the arc of electricity from the lightning spear twisted into a dragon shape in the middle.

Several warriors could no longer hold back, their spiritual energy roared, they jumped down from the high platform, and one punch could smash the body of a monster. The blinding thunder roared, dispersing the ice fog, and this was not their full strength. The warriors were all ancestral creatures, and after being given the law by the God, they could easily rise to the Dharma form.

"What the hell is this thing?" Li Chi shouted. He had never seen such a monster. Even when he faced filth creatures, the filth creatures could be killed. But even if this thing was killed, it would turn into a dark shadow and slip away.

The Nine Sky Guards were on full alert, fighting against the black tide of monsters.

"Wait?" someone suddenly said, "Did you hear any sound?"

There is a voice that is inconspicuous in this fight, but it cannot be ignored.

They listened intently and heard the sound of nails scraping against iron plates from below the embankment. At first, it was a few sounds, but in an instant it turned into a heavy rain. A young guard suddenly screamed, and his shadow bulged and condensed into a dark blue ghost hand that grabbed his ankle.

"Form a formation!" The commander's last words were crushed by the sound of the glacier collapsing.

There were loud noises coming from all directions.

Spider-web cracks appeared on the ice fields within a thousand miles at the same time, and inky black spiritual energy gushed out from the cracks. The ice mist cracked right in front of the dam, and a flag was erected there. A skinny monkey ghost held the battle flag and waved it slowly, with dark blue phosphorous burning in its eye sockets.

The eyes of several fighting creatures widened at the same time. Undead creatures?

The initiator of the vast sea, a strange army enslaved by ghosts.

No, that's not right. It's not the undead army driven by ghosts. The fighting creatures have sensed the essential difference between the two. Compared to the undead creatures driven by ghosts, this thing is more like a dead soul that was forcibly twisted in the world. At this moment, as the flags fluttered, the shadows hidden behind the ice mist finally revealed their true form. They were huge and ferocious beast-shaped dead souls, staring at the dam.

The iron cavalry kicked the ground, and there was a crisp echo. The ghosts made way for a path, and a bone horse with blue ghost fire burning came, and on its back sat the Holy Son they revered.

The pure white fox demon was out of tune with the dark ghosts around him. With nine long tails swaying gently behind him, he casually glanced at the people here, "Everyone, please make way."

The lightning spears of the Jiuxiao Guards began to frost.

The guards were horrified to find that dense ice crystals were oozing out from the inside of the Panlong armor. With every breath, the inside of the armor was covered with tiny pieces of ice. They were bound in their armor and could not move. If they moved a little, the ice would undoubtedly cut their throats.

"Lord Holy Son." A warring creature spoke coldly. He crossed his arms and wore golden arm armor. The spiritual energy around his body was burning like a raging flame. He was the famous "Red Lord" among the warring creatures, the Eight-Image Zhenyi.

The commander-in-chief Li Chi is just another one, and he has not received any orders from the gods. His spiritual energy is blocked, so he can only deal with those monsters in a frustrated way.

The Nine Heavens Guards deployed here were almost scrapped. The fighting creatures looked at each other. Chi Jun said again: "Sir, you are pointing your butcher knife at the warriors who once protected you. What is the meaning of this?"

Xue Wuya shook his head, "Chi Jun, you treated me well, please leave here."

"I think your mind has been polluted by evil!" Chi Jun's beard was furious, and a giant in red armor stood up from behind him. In an instant, the thick snow within thousands of miles melted, and the exposed land turned into dry and cracked earth before it was soaked into mud by the snow water. The terrible high temperature rose, and the Wusong River steamed up heat waves. This extremely powerful Zhen Sheng moved the true fire.

The beast-shaped ghost beside Xue Wuya was huge, but it seemed small compared to this giant.

The Chijun Dharmakāya stretched out his hand and covered Xue Wuya.

Xue Wuya stood up from the bone horse and stepped forward on the ghost tide. Of course, he could not bear the power of an Eight-Image Zhenyi. At this moment, the spiritual energy in his body was evaporated by the flames emitted by this ancestor. But the dark flames ignited and swallowed up the heavy pressure on Xue Wuya in an instant.

The pitch-black flames formed a ferocious tiger. It raised its head and stared at Chi Jun in the Dharma image with its tiger pupils.

Chi Jun was stunned immediately.

"How is it possible that you are still alive?" he whispered.

The tiger's claws stepped on the ground, and there was a tiger roar. The red Dharma image was blown away dozens of miles away. The black fierce tiger leaped suddenly, knocking the two fighting creatures to the ground before they could use the law. Then, it tore the cast iron dam with one palm, and the Nine Sky Guards fell into the glacier like fallen leaves.

The river was surging and rolling forward.

Xue Wuya looked at the broad plain behind the gap. The thawing water from the glacier blocked the morning light from the sky.

The dark ghost army marched across the breached dam, escorting their new king towards freedom.

I found the detailed outline I had already written was a bit slow, so I made some improvements.

The pace will be much faster afterwards.
