After the Skyfall

Chapter 493: Leaving Hope (Alliance Leader and Update: Emperor Tianheng)

Li Yi could have ignored what was happening here, but when he really had to leave, he still couldn't bear to see the few scattered lights go out, so he decided to leave some hope. As for whether he could save this area, it depended on fate.

now.

The monsters in the darkness have already rushed into the building through the pitch-black passage.

The protection of the holy corpse is useless.

But this is also the result that Li Yi hopes to see.

At this moment, he was standing under a huge white skeleton. The silver energy was burning like a raging fire. His vertical pupils were shining brightly. Even in the dark environment, he could see everything around him clearly. Those monsters that were rushing towards him had nowhere to hide in front of him.

"kill!"

Without any extra words, Li Yi started fighting with these monsters with a huge silver axe in hand.

Even without using magic power, his strength is still terrifying.

A monster with a sheep's head and a human body rushed to Li Yi at this moment, but before it could make a move, it was split into two halves by Li Yi's silver giant axe. The body fell and blood splattered. The blood fell on the ground and was soon drawn by a mysterious force, quickly flowing to the holy corpse behind it, where only the white skeleton was left.

Li Yi continued to fight and attacked the second monster again.

It was an evil ghost, with an illusory color and a height of more than five meters. It looked weird and scary, but the silver axe still split it into two parts. Then he faced the third monster.
"Boom!" A powerful force erupted.

In the darkness, a humanoid monster chopped down with a huge sword. Although the move was simple, the power was amazing. One blow almost shattered Li Yi's silver energy, but then he punched through the head with another punch. Blood splattered out and became nutrients to nourish the holy corpse.

Li Yi continued to fight, and the corpses of monsters around him gradually increased.

A large amount of blood is feeding the holy corpse.

However, this holy corpse, which was only a skeleton left, was reviving at an unimaginable speed. Flesh and blood grew on the bones out of thin air, and the flesh and blood began to wriggle, spreading rapidly and covering the bones again. At the same time, lights in the building began to gradually light up.

The first lights to come on were from the shops on the tenth floor.

For a building, shops are the foundation, but the shops here have been closed long ago and are no longer in business.

But now, as the lights came on, the door of the store slowly opened again.

Meanwhile, many of the building's broken walls are repairing themselves.

These scenes were all full of life, as if the building was not a dead object, but a living thing, which, although dormant and decaying, would be able to recover immediately once nourished by the monster's blood.

"not enough."

Li Yi took a look and found that the corpse behind him had only grown less than half, so he had to continue fighting.

In just a moment, the first wave of monsters that rushed into the building were all wiped out by him, and instead of retreating, he advanced and killed again outside the building. At this moment, the building had regained some vitality and had a sheltering effect. Some monsters no longer dared to rush in.

Accompanied by a dazzling sword energy that killed the remaining monsters, Li Yi rushed out of the building alone and stood in the darkness.

But this area is different from other areas, and it is more dangerous than you might imagine.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard.

In the darkness, a mummy wearing armor and riding a warhorse appeared with black smoke coming out of its body. It held a spear in its hand, pierced through the darkness, and killed Li Yi.

The attack came too suddenly and swiftly.

It instantly hit Li Yi's chest, but was blocked by the dragon armor on his body. However, the huge force still knocked him back and hit the wall of the building behind him heavily. The building seemed to shake because of the blow, and large cracks appeared.

"Oh my goodness, here comes an incredible creature," Li Yi immediately reached out and grabbed the spear, trying to knock the mummy off the warhorse.

But then he discovered that the mummy and the warhorse it was sitting on had merged into one, completely grown together, and there was no way to separate it from the horse.

At this moment, the warhorse neighed and opened its mouth to spit at Li Yi. A dark red flame instantly burst out and covered the area of ​​several hundred meters in a blink of an eye.

Hellfire?

Li Yi's eyes narrowed, and he quickly broke free from the restraints and flew into the air. Then a big sword appeared in his hand. This was the weapon left behind by the Undead Sword King after his death. He felt that this weapon would not be bad and should be able to be used to defeat the knight in front of him.

And it's not that he doesn't know sword skills. When he was traveling around the world, he inherited the martial arts of the four major families, which also involved some knowledge of weapons.

While avoiding the hellfire, he fought with his sword, wanting to kill the evil creature in front of him as quickly as possible to avoid any more trouble.

This knight's strength is indeed extraordinary. If he were on Earth, he would definitely be able to defeat an ordinary spiritual realm evolver.

The hellfire that spewed out was enough to make anyone retreat.

Silver lightning intertwined on Li Yi's body, and his divine blood was stimulated. He resisted the burning of hellfire and fought with the knight for dozens of moves. He then suppressed the knight with his fists and found an opportunity to split the knight in half with a sword.

Dark blood splattered and landed on the wall of the building behind him. Then he threw the extraordinary monster's corpse directly into the building to feed the holy corpse.

With the nourishment of the corpse of such a powerful monster, the flesh and blood of the holy corpse in the building began to wriggle again, and the body has almost recovered.

Afterwards, Li Yi used himself as bait to lure two powerful monsters. After killing them, he decided to stop while he was ahead, left and hid in the building.

"Sir, these are the only remaining guests in the building. They are all here." Sun Fei brought a dozen people to the first floor. When he saw Li Yi returning, he was immediately happy.

However, he also encountered some dangers. He was in a rather miserable state, with several fatal wounds on his clothes. If he had not been wearing inner armor, he would have probably met with an accident. Fortunately, he was lucky and survived.

Li Yi was holding a huge monster corpse at the moment. He threw it on the ground and then looked at these people.

Among the dozen people, most were women and children, and there were two or three elderly people. They seemed to have been abandoned here, or the strong young men had died in the darkness.

Faced with Li Yi's glance, these people seemed reserved and nervous.

There was only a girl about fifteen years old, wearing simple leather armor, holding a broken magic bow and arrow, standing in front with a determined look in her eyes.

"Sir, she is the last adventurer in this building. Her name is Xiaojing." Sun Fei said.

Rather than being an adventurer, she is the only young person who is still somewhat capable of action.

"Your name is Xiaojing?" Li Yi asked.

"Yes." Xiaojing nodded quickly.

Li Yi glanced at the weapon in her hand and said, "Your weapon is already damaged and has almost no lethality. You can't do anything with it. It can only bring you a little spiritual comfort, but you should know that this little comfort is useless in this dark world."

"I know, but this is the best weapon I can find." Xiao Jing lowered her head slightly and said a little sadly.

"Where did the other adventurers go?" Li Yi asked.

"They all died in the battle with the monsters." Xiao Jing bit her lip and held back the grief as she spoke: "The last one to die in the battle was my brother. He was killed by the monsters in the building seven days ago in order to protect me. My brother said that if he died, I would pick up my weapon and continue fighting. Only in this way would I have a hope of surviving."

In just one sentence, the despair and cruelty here are depicted.

"Hatred and despair will breed powerful forces." Li Yi said calmly, "I won't stay here for too long, so I want to choose someone to help me complete a mission, which is to rescue all the survivors in the buildings in this area, and then lead them to live in the dark world."

"You might be a good candidate."

"Sir, isn't this a bit too casual? She's still a child." Sun Fei realized something and said immediately, "Maybe there is a better candidate in the next building."

Li Yi said: "Since fate has brought me and her together, let's just follow fate's arrangement."

Then he asked again: "Xiao Jing, can you complete this task?"

"I can't do it." Xiao Jing said, "I'm too weak, but I can give it a try. After all, this building has regained its vitality. If I can find a way to contact the people in other buildings and gather everyone together, maybe I can change something."

She has a clear understanding of herself, and is also stubborn and strong.

"Very good, you are worthy of being a trained adventurer." After saying this, Li Yi threw the sword in his hand in front of Xiao Jing.

The sharp sword penetrated into the ground three inches as soon as it left his hand. It was so sharp.

Then he took out a set of blood-red armor.

"I wandered in the dark world and hunted a legendary monster. These are its weapons and armor. In addition..." When Li Yi said this, a golden heart suddenly appeared in his hand.

The heart beats, full of life and energy.

"This is the heart of the dead monster. It is said that eating this heart can gain the monster's power when it was alive. However, this legend is not true. Perhaps you can verify it yourself."

"Sure enough." Sun Fei said in his heart.

He guessed that Li Yi was going to give away the golden heart of the Immortal Sword King.

I just didn't expect Li Yi to be so casual.

Li Yi's idea is very simple. He doesn't want to take away this power from this world. Facing this darkness, he is willing to leave this power here as a hope.

Xiao Jing was stunned. She looked at the golden heart with some disbelief. Although she was not very old, she grew up listening to various adventure stories about the dark world and knew some things.

"I, I..." She was a little flustered and at a loss.

But Li Yi didn't give her time to hesitate. He walked over and stuffed it into her mouth: "You have no choice."

The golden heart immediately went down her esophagus and into her stomach like a living thing.

moment.

Strong and powerful heartbeats came from Xiaojing's body. She opened her eyes wide and froze in place.

But with every heartbeat, she felt full of strength, and a powerful aura gradually emanated from her.

That is the breath of the Immortal Sword King.

But at this moment, the Undead Sword King is no longer a monster, but the unknown girl in front of him.

"Remember your mission and don't forget to fight against the darkness. From now on, you are the new Immortal Sword King." Li Yi left this sentence, then turned around and left the building with Sun Fei, and continued on the way home.

"Sir, are you leaving just like that?" Sun Fei was very surprised.

Li Yi looked at the dark building in front of him and said, "It's enough to leave hope. What else can I do? Let her save the few survivors. I have a clear conscience."

Sun Fei nodded without saying anything.

The two hadn't gone far yet.

Suddenly, a girl's scream was heard from the building with the brightest lights.

The voice was full of power, echoing in the darkness, as if announcing the birth of a powerful adventurer.
