The Spirit World

Chapter 995 Shadow Pendant (Thirty-one)
"Why...it seems like they knew you were coming, but they also knew they couldn't defeat you..."

She was put down by Artanis and stood behind the heroic Chang Yufeng. She looked around and found that all those who had thrown away their weapons and armor had fled.

According to her understanding of Chang Yufeng's situation, Chang Yufeng would naturally not pursue them, because those soldiers could not be his opponents, let alone a head-on confrontation.

"Just like that... escaped..."

Suddenly, she didn't think there was anything strange, which was the biggest surprise. If this young man was coming to the Immortal Hall to pick someone up, how could he pick someone up from the hostile Immortal Hall? The person he picked up didn't look like a good person.

But he didn't seem like a bad person. By the campfire, on this dark path, although he was taciturn, his character was always clearly visible.

She glanced at Artanis, who responded in an extremely "divine" manner.

"Ah... If we don't run, are we going to die here? Although we won't kill innocent people~" Artanis closed his right eye and blinked, putting an end to his divine power. His huge figure instantly turned into a point of light and fire and rushed into Chang Yufeng's arms, revealing only a little flame: "Oh~ If they can run faster, they will probably see the general soon. Ah~ At least they should run faster when giving a tip-off."

"Oh no, you know General Bonnapo? And you are hostile to them? Where are you from?"

She was a little surprised. When she heard the name General Bonnapo, her whole body froze for a moment, she was frightened for a moment, and then stood there in confusion.

Chang Yufeng in front of her was carefully observing everything in the Undying Hall. When he heard her ask this, he tilted his head to glance at her, then turned back and said softly: "If you are troubled, you can leave from here."

"This is already Salahma. The Undead Hall you are going to is already here. If you want to find your aunt or uncle..." Artanis, like a flame, showed two big eyes, and the light of the flame was still so bright under the illumination of the glowing crystal.

It gave her a serious advice: "But it's best to let your aunt or uncle leave here quickly, otherwise... uh... it will be very dangerous..."

"Leave... me... but I just got here and wanted to go to my aunt..."

She had gone through so much hardship to get here from home, and now she had nothing left. If she came here and told her aunt abruptly that she was in danger and needed to flee quickly...

She would definitely be laughed at by her mean uncle and sent to the hospital for mental cleansing treatment.

This was absolutely impossible, but she had to believe Artanis' words. This majestic young man in front of her would definitely turn this place upside down.

She didn't know how powerful General Pangnabo was, nor could she judge how powerful Chang Yufeng was. She couldn't make a real comparison, but Chang Yufeng must have come here with a plan in mind...

She was absolutely sure that Chang Yufeng was such a person.

"This... oh... I think I should have thought about this..."

Artanis stammered and hid in Chang Yufeng's arms. He couldn't answer this question.

The foreseeable situation was very bad for her. For example, if Chang Yufeng really wanted to provoke General Bonnabo, the Undead Hall would never have peace. They had known each other for a while, so they had to part here anyway.

“In this world, there are always people who will go to the worst situation.”

Chang Yufeng said something very abrupt. Perhaps he was the one who understood best what would happen next. If he had explained it to her by the campfire, she would not have been so entangled.

They were just strangers at that time. When Chang Yufeng defeated General Pangnabo, she didn't know how she would be persecuted by the people of the Undead Hall.

After all, the current Immortal Hall was definitely not what her parents had told her, and her aunt had not given her any news either.

She was running towards a road without any warning, but at this moment, she seemed to be in a dilemma.

Isn't it? She had a premonition that her trip would be empty, but she had to admit that Artanis and Chang Yufeng had no ill intentions at all, which made it seem that if she left Chang Yufeng and his group, there would be an expected deviation.

Chang Yufeng could only shake his head regretfully: "Sorry, I don't mean to drag you down, but this is the entrance to the Undying Hall, so we'll say goodbye here."

He said this neatly, placed his sword against the city wall, and leaped forward, his black robe landing on the ground, but his sword was no longer sheathed.

"Hey! Wait..." She wanted to jump down unexpectedly, but she was in a hurry to find the stone stairs down the city wall. Her cashmere skirt rubbed against the stone stairs gently. She walked in a hurry, holding on to the wall, and kicked the discarded bows and arrows down the stone stairs: "Mr. Chang Yufeng... I'm not familiar with this place. I'm sorry. If possible, can you help me again..."

Before she could finish her words, she stumbled and stepped on her skirt, and fell onto the platform of the stone stairs with a cry. She hurriedly got up and took the second step of the stone stairs. This time she trotted faster and lifted her feet higher. Holding the cashmere skirt in her hands, she soon arrived at the city gate.

"I didn't mean that. I mean, thank you so much for your help along the way. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to get here safely... If you don't mind... I hope..."

She did not see Chang Yufeng again, and the words came out from her throat as if they were stretching out.

"I hope……"

She looked at the empty city gate, the untrimmed weeds and trees that were out of control and too eye-catching, and the first line of defense that was suddenly abandoned. She coughed twice, lifted her skirt again, and looked around.

She wanted to call out Chang Yufeng's name, but she gave up the idea because of a fleeting thought that she should not disturb him again.

It is not known whether the demons hiding in the darkness dare not invade the land illuminated by the glowing crystals, or they are afraid of the deterrent power of General Bonnabo. They are clearly outside the city gate but dare not take a single step forward. The closed city gate is right behind her. If she looks back, she will definitely be able to see those monsters that want to go but stop.

"It's too dangerous to leave the little guy there!"

Artanis exclaimed.

"We were going to the city anyway, we should have given her a ride..."

"Quiet, Artanis."

Chang Yufeng was running, and the second line of defense of the Immortal Hall was right in front of him. The first and second lines of defense were not far apart. He could already see Norav standing side by side with another officer on the second inner city.

This officer was obviously more serious than Norav. He had long golden hair and his armor was more advanced, with a very beautiful blue lion on it.

This blue lion is the family emblem of the Theatus family, but his name is not Theatus.

This officer's name is [Fourni] and he reports directly to Adjutant Neferi.

"Adjutant Neferei had naturally anticipated the arrival of this invader." Fourni watched Chang Yufeng jumping between the city walls and the trees.

"Huh, it really looks like a monkey."

Although he mocked Chang Yufeng, Chang Yufeng's posture was very upright when he ran and jumped, like an assassin attacking the enemy, jumping between the walls and the forests full of enemy sight. This terrible way of moving proved that Chang Yufeng came with bad intentions, and also proved that Chang Yufeng's strength was extraordinary.

He can climb walls and fly over rooftops as fast as the wind.

The green sword is filled with murderous aura and is difficult to stop.

As expected, sending out the few hundred elite soldiers of the Undead Corps now would be a suicide mission.

"Look at him!" Norav was naturally frightened, and in front of Fourni, his fear was even more exaggerated: "Such skills! Commander Fourni! You have to stop him~"

"He looks like an assassin from the Empire. This kind of movement, like flying over eaves and running on walls, is the most basic combat training in the Empire." Fourni took the sword in his hand and frowned slightly: "Just like Commander Wanzhang, the people in the Empire are very good at using one-handed swords. They attach spiritual power to the sword body and swing it out with sword energy."

"Their physical fitness is even more amazing!" Nolav looked at Chang Yufeng's jump in shock. If he were an ordinary person, it would be impossible for him to move so fast.

Jumping on the city walls, walking on the trees, skimming the water like a dragonfly, it is impossible to do so smoothly just by relying on wind magic.

"I heard from Commander Wanzhang that the people of the Empire focus on the depth of their spiritual power and train their bodies to the extreme in order to prolong their lives. They also focus more on... the unity of man and nature..."

Fourni paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand. The entire row of archers on the city wall quickly drew their longbows and shot towards Chang Yufeng in unison.

With Fourni's wave of his hand, arrows rained down and Chang Yufeng had to change his straight route and jump left and right to avoid the arrows.

"Hmph, no matter how strong he is, he is just a body of flesh and blood. Even if he has a body of steel, he can't escape this formation of thousands of arrows!"

Fourni glanced at Norav with a joking yet serious look, and said in a clear voice: "Even if I give you the entire archery corps, you will only care about your head, right~ Commander Norav~"

"But! He! He he! He!" Norav hurriedly shook his head to deny and took a few steps back. He didn't dare to say anything more and could only point at Chang Yufeng who was running towards him. Chang Yufeng waved his sword and arrows rained down. However, after a round of arrows, he had to stop and then jump to an area where there were still trees.

The blue spiritual power on the archers' fully drawn longbows glowed brightly, and they could shoot straight at Chang Yufeng even from a long distance. They were lined up on the wall of the inner city, and Chang Yufeng was moving between the outer city and the inner city. In order to avoid more sight and even leave the wide plain, Chang Yufeng approached the inner city step by step at the junction of the outer city and the area with more trees.

Such a blatant invasion was not reckless, but because he had already known the specialness of [Neferi] and the existence of [God's Messenger] [颲梼], so hiding was absolutely useless.

He didn't need to hide. Ponnap was seriously injured, the strongest fighter of the Undead Group was suffering from pain, and Neferi was not a fighter strictly speaking. Apart from these two people, there was almost no opponent who could fight him among the hundreds of people in the Undead Group.

Although the 颲梲 is difficult to deal with, there is no need to worry as it has not yet appeared.

Of course, more importantly, since he has come, he must take Xun Huangying back.

After the first wave of arrows passed, the second wave followed. Chang Yufeng had to dodge and move again and swing his arrow away. The power of the arrow with spiritual power was finally enough to collide with Artes, making a continuous thumping sound.

Looking at Chang Yufeng who had to dodge and swing constantly, Forni laughed heartily. He mocked and pointed at Chang Yufeng and said with a smile: "Hahaha, this boy is just like that. How did he beat you so badly that you fled here without any armor?"

“But…but…but…but…”

Norav did not confront Chang Yufeng directly, so naturally he could not explain the reason for a long time. He looked left and right, winked and didn't see the shadow of Artanis. Suddenly he shouted: "There is a female elementalist who can control the fire element! Wow! So big!"

He gestured towards the sky, and Artanis' nightmarish smile flashed by. The scene of Artanis' huge body of fire surrounding him like a block out from the sky was vivid in his mind!
"Oh~ Elementalist~" Forni also pondered with great interest, his eyes never leaving Chang Yufeng, and the slightly smaller size of Theatus armor clanged: "Hidden? Or..."

"Yes! Yes! A woman!" Norav hurriedly explained.

"Then we really need to deal with it properly." Fourni waved his hand again. The magicians standing on the city wall had been waiting for a long time. They chanted spells and waved their wands. One after another, magic light bullets rushed towards the area where Chang Yufeng was.

Magicians are more valuable than archers, and naturally much fewer than archers. The only eight magicians in the inner city are not of high rank. They all use blue magic bullets, but they shoot one after another at the predicted position where Chang Yufeng is expected to leap, which puts great pressure on Chang Yufeng.

The magic path overshadowed the light of the glowing crystal, causing the surroundings to flicker dimly and cast various tiny shadows, which were like blades cutting through everything between the outer city and the inner city.

Arrow rain and magic bullets both attacked, but Chang Yufeng remained calm. Above his black robe, there was a terrifying black flame flying around. His hood also flew off his head in an instant with the wind, revealing extremely bright black short hair. His attack mode was very similar to that of the Imperials, but he did not have the long hair and gorgeous clothes of the Imperials. Under the black robe, he was wearing a neat shirt and trousers, and his shoes were also extremely sophisticated and comfortable, made specifically for combat.

He was like a bird of prey born only for fighting. Apart from the sword in his hand, he was wearing light clothes that allowed him to better exert his whole body's strength.

There were no family emblems, no clothing of any style, and no fancy accessories.

Only a black robe was worn.

Only the demonic fire in his body became more and more intense.

"Although I haven't mentioned it for a long time..."

"Although this is an insulting name!"

Chang Yufeng slashed away and shouted loudly!

The pitch-black flames burned the black robe, turning Chang Yufeng's entire robe from black to purple, and it trembled and cried in the wind.

That is the burning sound when wind meets the divine fire!

"Demon level one! Open!"

Chang Yufeng shouted out, grasped the hilt of the sword and swung it, the one-handed sword instantly turned into a two-handed sword, the wind swept the sword body, Artes's afterimage was heavy, the green light bloomed, and the sound flashed.

【Ding--】

Those arrows and light balls collided with Artes, making a sound for a moment, and were then crushed by Artes, and then forced to converge from the sword body to the tip of the sword into a green light array.

"Hoah——"

The brightness of the light array made the glowing crystals dim, just like yesterday's moon, chasing the light from a point to a surface.

Ah... I still have to write many, many fights with the gods later...
