Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1789 Setting Off!!! (Part Two)
Meanwhile, on the other side...

While Zhou Ye was shocked by the astonishing strength of his second brother, a street thug, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief at escaping death as he looked at the vast expanse of scorched earth in front of him.

However, they hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief yet.

A sandstorm suddenly swept through the area where they were located.

This situation made Zhou Ye's heart pound.

"Damn it, where am I?!"

The camel was frightened and ran wildly out of control, so it couldn't tell which way to go.

Sandstorms in the desert are nothing unusual; the soldiers serving here are used to them.

The problem now is that if we trespass into the territory of that desert force and trigger their restrictions, it will also cause a sandstorm!
The former is formed naturally, while the latter is driven by magical power.

Martial artists are not as sensitive to magical power as mages. At least a Vajra Realm cultivator can accurately distinguish it. Zhou Ye, a Hundred Refinement Realm cultivator, is basically a super soldier with very little true qi. He simply cannot distinguish it at this moment.

Then, as if remembering something, he subconsciously looked up at Xuan Yu.

Compared to Zhou Ye, Xuan Yu clearly sensed something, and his gaze towards the depths of the desert was now filled with solemnity.

Without time to think, Xuan Yu, hovering in the air, let out a cry, as if urging Zhou Ye to leave quickly.

Unlike the Thousand-Year-Old, whose size is so large that he can carry people, Xuan Yu is only about the size of a peregrine falcon and does not have the ability to carry people.

Zhou Ye wasn't stupid, and he quickly understood Xuan Yu's meaning. Xuan Yu also pointed out the direction for him, and he immediately took off running in that direction.

Although he had already fought the giant skeletal serpent for several rounds, it was all about explosive power. After the battle, as long as he could catch his breath for a while, he would recover to a great extent.

However, as a martial artist at the Hundred Refinement Realm, Zhou Ye's speed was ultimately not fast enough. With a 'whoosh' sound, ancient chains flew out rapidly from the sandstorm, heading straight for Zhou Ye.

Almost immediately, Xuan Yu noticed this and flapped his wings, causing the golden-red flames to transform into a wave of fire that swept out!

The ancient chains trembled as if electrocuted the moment they touched the flames, and black smoke billowed from their shafts. For a moment, it seemed as if countless vengeful spirits were emitting mournful screams.

The chains were immediately pulled away, and it retreated backward as if fleeing for its life.

This unprecedented situation quickly alerted the Immortal General.

At that moment, his gaze was fixed on Xuan Yu, who was flying in the air.

"It's not that human. It's you?!"

Even just looking at those golden-red flames felt like they were scorching his soul! At the same time, they awakened his long-dormant nightmares.

In his memory, the excruciating pain of being engulfed in flames caused the Undying General to show signs of losing control of his emotions. The ghostly blue soul fire kept bursting out, and he suddenly swung his sword into the sky.

In an instant, a dark gray sword aura flew out along the sword's edge, slashing straight towards Xuan Yu in the air!
The dark gray sword energy contained terrifying power, and Xuan Yu's heart skipped a beat the moment he caught sight of the attack. He then performed a flipping motion, and the dark gray sword energy flew past his body almost grazing it.

At the same time, the Undying General, who had unleashed a sword aura, did not stop. He leaped into the air, his entire body rising into the air, carrying a large amount of dark gray undead energy, and pressed towards Xuan Yu who was flying in the air!

Without a doubt, this is a combatant at the Transcendent Realm level!
This is different from what Xuan Yu had faced before, such as the Green Emperor who was already at his last gasp, or Saint Laurent I who was suppressed by Zhou Xu.

The person in front of me is a genuine martial artist at the peak of his power!
Even his individual strength was probably greater than that of Saint Laurent I at the time!
In contrast, Xuan Yu's current strength, if classified by realm, is roughly at the peak of the Saint Realm.

Although his actual combat power is definitely much stronger than that of an ordinary peak Saint Realm cultivator thanks to his golden-red flames, he still can't withstand the guy in front of him, who is most likely at the peak of the Transcendent Realm!

However, it also has an advantage that the other party does not have, namely, it can fly!
Even if a martial artist at the Transcendent Realm can fly briefly by releasing their true energy, there is a limit. As long as one can hold out until that time, one can be invincible!

With this thought in mind, Xuan Yu flapped its wings, once again stirring up golden-red flames, temporarily forcing back the Undying General while flying towards a higher altitude.

But it was precisely at this moment that, in order to confirm the movements of the Undying General, Xuan Yu glanced down.

As a result, they saw a group of skeleton cavalry chasing after Zhou Ye who was fleeing for his life. Xuan Yu could tell at a glance that the leader was a Vajra Realm expert!
Even skeleton riders have four legs; it's difficult for two-legged people to outrun them.

As the distance between the two sides drew closer, Xuan Yu felt a surge of anger. He then suddenly flipped over, avoiding the pursuing Undying General, and swooped down.

As it approached the skeleton cavalry below, it flapped its wings, and golden-red flames surged up again, engulfing the entire squad of skeleton cavalry!

However, it was this very moment that completely exposed Xuan Yu's true abilities.

"I see. This human is important to you, isn't he?"

As they spoke, the Undying General changed his attack and directly charged towards Zhou Ye with his sword!

Upon seeing this, Xuan Yu let out a furious roar! With a series of flaps of its wings, golden-red flames surged forth, transforming into a raging storm that attempted to forcibly annihilate the Undying General!

Amidst the raging flames, the Undying General was prepared. His released true energy instantly formed a circular shield, enveloping him within it.

Those golden-red flames were indeed powerful, capable of burning even the soul. In a sense, they were the nemesis of the undead race.

But ultimately, no matter how powerful the flames are, they are still a form of energy, and as long as they are energy, they can be countered by another form of energy!
At this moment, the Undying General used necromantic energy to form a shield, which continuously neutralized the golden-red flames. During this time, he burst forth with speed, quickly penetrating through layers of flames and reaching Zhou Ye.

At the same time, a thunderous roar came from the distant sky, and flashes of lightning could be faintly seen.

The voice arrives before the person arrives!
"Who dares to hurt my Ye'er?!"

Amidst the thunder, the Undying General could sense a powerful force approaching like a bolt of lightning, filled with warning and threat!

But it did not sway the Undying General in the slightest. He was already a corpse, and now he only wanted to take revenge for the debt he owed back then!
With this thought in mind, the Undying General swung his sword, and a dark gray sword light instantly engulfed Zhou Ye completely!
