Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 121: There is always love in this world

The moon was bright in the sky, the wind was cold, thousands of horses were galloping, sand was rolling all over the sky, the corpses were roaring and chasing, Lingkongzi was flying in the night sky with Wuzhi, and the huge body behind him was gradually approaching.

"Roar..." The monster spit out a black fireball, which roared through the air and hit the tiny Lingkongzi.

Ling Kongzi sensed the fireball behind him and shouted, "Little Master, hold on tight!" Jin Chi fought hard and suddenly pulled up into the air. A huge fireball flew past him at lightning speed and landed diagonally among the Huns' galloping cavalry a hundred feet ahead. It exploded with a loud bang, black smoke billowed into the sky, and corpses flew everywhere.

Lingkongzi dodged the warhorse that was blown into the sky. Just as he passed through the thick smoke, there was another roar behind him and a fireball came like lightning. Lingkongzi flapped his golden wings and flew out diagonally, dodging the fireball. The fireball hit the Huns' cavalry again, killing hundreds of cavalrymen.

Ugud was about to catch up with the retreating infantry in front of him on the giant eagle. If the infantry were attacked by the zombies, there would be heavy casualties. He shouted urgently: "Go west and avoid the infantry!" As soon as the order was given, 100,000 cavalrymen turned around and galloped westward.

Wuzhan squinted his eyes, facing the cold wind, and said to Lingkongzi: "To the west!" The reason why Lingkongzi was ordered to fly above the Xiongnu cavalry was to divert the trouble to the east, use the swarm of corpses to drive away the Xiongnu and consume their physical strength to prevent them from taking the opportunity to attack the city gate.

Although Ugude did not know why the ferocious beast was chasing the golden-winged eagle, he could see through Wuzhan's intention and immediately gave an order, ordering the cavalry to split into two groups to avoid the zombies. Although the Xiongnu cavalry did not engage in battle with the Qin army, they had been marching for several days in a row, crossing the desert without food and water, and after such a panicked gallop, their physical strength had long been exhausted, and now they could only struggle to hold on.

Seeing the golden-winged eagle dodge two attacks in a row and fly westward quickly, the Qilin roared and neighed, whistling and vibrating its bony wings, following closely behind, continuously spewing out black fireballs and hitting Lingkongzi.

Ling Kongzi dodged left and right, flew up and down, and turned sharply between the two cavalry groups, trying his best to avoid the fireballs that were as fast as meteors. Every time a fireball hit the ground, it exploded into flying sand hundreds of feet high, like a suddenly rising mountain, resounding through the sky.

Every time a fireball fell into the cavalry team, hundreds of cavalrymen were killed. From time to time, horses fell to the ground and died of exhaustion. Soldiers rolled down and were trampled to death by the horses behind them. Ugud gritted his teeth and was extremely angry towards Wuzhan, but he was helpless and could only lead his troops at a gallop, otherwise the horde of corpses would surge behind him and he didn't know how many casualties would occur.

The beast was getting closer and closer. Wuzhai could sense its angry coldness. He knew that flying like this was too dangerous. The Xiongnu cavalry had almost been exhausted. Even if they turned back, they would need to rest before they could attack. The most urgent thing was to find a way to get rid of this beast. Thinking of this, he said to Lingkongzi, "It's almost time. Let's go north!"

Lingkongzi turned around with Wuzhan on his back, left the sky above the Xiongnu cavalry, and flew rapidly towards the northern desert. Huo did not hesitate and chased after him. The group of corpses behind him followed Huo and ran across the desert.

The Hun cavalry galloped for a long distance before they realized that the ferocious beasts and the zombies had moved away from them and were heading north. The strange screams and noises gradually became weaker, but the deafening explosions and dark clouds rising in the night sky could still be heard. The galloping cavalry finally stopped, gasping for breath, exhausted. Ugud then breathed a sigh of relief, gave orders to reorganize the horses, and count the number of people.

……

The undulating sand dunes glowed coldly in the moonlight, like solidified waves, lonely and desolate. The cold wind blew on Wuzhe's bloodless face, which was as painful as a whip. His hair was standing on end and his thoughts were racing.

He had no idea how he could absorb the beast into his mind like he had absorbed the Earth-Swallowing Beast. He only knew that the substance absorbed it spontaneously when he was completely desperate. In other words, it was not something he could control. If he put himself to death, would the substance be able to exert its power again? However, Wuzhai did not dare to try this method because the beast was not as afraid of him as the Earth-Swallowing Beast. Otherwise, why would it chase him relentlessly and want to kill him?

Wuzhan always had a question in his mind, why would this ferocious beast give up absorbing the souls of tens of thousands of people and kill a useless person like him? "Does it want to devour the matter in my brain?" Apart from this, he could not think of any other reason. He vaguely felt that the matter in the brain concealed a mysterious power, even a terrifying power.

While he was thinking, the Qilin suddenly spit out several fireballs. Although they were not big, they covered all the paths. Wuzhan saw a fireball with a diameter of half a meter whistling towards him. It was too late to dodge. At this moment, all thoughts were gone and he could only wait to be torn to pieces. Although he knew he could die at any time, he did not expect it to come so suddenly.

At the moment when the fireball was about to hit him, he subconsciously used his hand to block it, and the ring on his middle finger suddenly burst into brilliant light, forming a spherical air shield that covered him and Ling Kongzi. There was a deafening explosion with a bang, flames splashed, black smoke billowed, and the air shield disappeared immediately. Although it protected the two of them, the huge impact force made them roll across the air like an arrow from a bow.

There was a roar in Wuzhan's ears, the sky was spinning, and the blood was boiling in his chest. Fortunately, he held on to Lingkongzi tightly. Lingkongzi's whole body was shaking violently and was about to crash into the sand dune. In desperation, he aroused the demonic power around him, spread his golden wings, lifted his body and slowed down.

"Bang..." The two men broke into the sand and moved across the desert. The splashed sand formed a giant dragon hundreds of feet long, which relieved most of the force. Ling Kongzi endured the huge impact force and was unconscious from the pain, and plunged into the sand dunes.

Wuzhan flew out of his hand and rolled several feet in the desert before stopping. His blood rushed up and he spat out a mouthful of blood, almost fainting. After a long time, Lingkongzi finally got out of the sand dune, covered in sand and his bones seemed to be falling apart. It was impossible for him to fly again in a short time. He gasped for breath and staggered to his feet.

When Qiong saw Wuzhan being shot down, he did not continue attacking but paused in mid-air, flapping his bony wings slowly, glaring at the soul that was about to be eaten. The madly running zombies soon surrounded the two of them, howling strangely, and were ready to pounce on them at any time.

Wuzhan raised his hand and looked at the skull ring on his middle finger. This ring was stolen by Wanjiao from a wandering Taoist priest, and she gave it to him and put it on him personally. It was called the Exorcist Ring. Although he usually wore it, he never paid attention to it. If it hadn't been for the inspiration of this ring, the two of them, master and disciple, would probably have turned to ashes. He never thought that this ring would have such magical power. It was really as its name suggested, it could resist evil spirits. Thinking of Wanjiao, his heart warmed. In fact, there were people who were reluctant to leave in this world.

Looking at the cold night, the ferocious corpses, and the ancient vicious beast, Wuzhan calmed down. He gritted his teeth and stood up. At this time, Lingkongzi had already walked to his side and asked breathlessly: "Little Master, why did it come to kill us instead of killing so many people?"

Wuzhan said: "I don't know either, but this has happened to me once before. Maybe it's because my body is different from that of ordinary people, and it wants to devour my soul."

Ling Kongzi said discouragedly: "Now I am surrounded by these ferocious beasts and corpses. My meridians are damaged and my vitality is greatly damaged. I can only wait for death."

Wuzhan asked, "Do you regret bringing me here?"

"My little master has been so kind to me that I would not regret dying ten or a hundred times, let alone once. I can only blame myself for not having enough magical power to protect my little master!"

"It's too early to say death now. We still have a chance."

"Does the young master have another plan to escape from here?"

Wuzhan said: "This beast is originally a dead soul. It is so ferocious because the Yin energy is too heavy tonight and it has absorbed a lot of souls. If it can be delayed until dawn, when the sun rises, the Yin energy will dissipate and the Yang energy will take its place, and its power will be weakened. Now it is deep in the desert. Once the sunlight shines down, it will have nowhere to hide. If it wants to leave here, it will inevitably be exposed to the sun for a long time. Maybe at that time, we can kill it. You recover your vitality as soon as possible and prepare to give it a fatal blow. I will hold it back!"

Ling Kongzi sighed: "That being said, my young master has no cultivation at all. How can he hold on until that time?"

Wuzhan slowly raised his right hand, pointed the skull on the ring at Huo, and said calmly: "We can only rely on it now!" He already understood that this ring was controlled by spiritual power through the hand Jueyin pericardium meridian. The air shield that was just subconsciously triggered was also for this reason.

The monster roared towards the sky, and hundreds of zombies leaped several feet high and swarmed towards Wuzhan. When they were only ten feet away from each other, the ring burst into dazzling light again.

'Bang bang...' The zombies continuously hit the air shield, but were all bounced back and turned into bones. Ling Kongzi could hardly believe his eyes. He did not expect that a ring could have such magical power. Hope was rekindled in his heart. Amid the rumbling sound, he sat cross-legged to meditate and recover from his injuries.

Not long after, the corpses around the air shield piled up like a mountain, almost completely covering the air shield. It was eerie and terrifying. The zombies still flew over the corpses and pounced towards Wuzhan, but they crashed into the air shield and were shattered.

When Qiong saw that Wuzhan was holding up an air shield, which prevented its group of zombies from getting close to him to devour his souls, he roared angrily and spewed out a black fireball that smashed vertically towards Wuzhan.

There was a loud bang, shaking the earth, black light burst out, bones flew everywhere, sand rolled, and a huge wave hundreds of feet high was raised, sweeping the zombies away in all directions.

After the incident subsided, the air shield that Wuzhan was holding up was knocked down more than ten feet deep, forming a huge pit with a diameter of one hundred feet. Although the air shield was supported by the ground and withstood the tremendous force of tens of millions of pounds, the deafening roar made Wuzhan dizzy and his blood boil. He really didn't know how long this air shield could last and how many times it could withstand such attacks.

Seeing that this attack still failed to break the air shield, the beast roared furiously and dived down like a huge meteorite, swinging its front claws, and with a dull "bang!", its huge claws slammed heavily on the air shield, sending sand flying in all directions. The air shield was shaken down several feet, but it still couldn't break the air shield.
