Chapter 478: Life-burning skills

He then turned his gaze to the soldiers slowly retreating to the side; they did not have the same aura as Bai Hong, and instead, the Abyssal Fiend caught a tempting scent from them.

Immediately, it roared and charged towards the soldiers, who were startled by the sudden change and accelerated their retreat in a panic.

Some soldiers chose to stay behind to cover the retreat; being well-trained, they set up a defensive formation, raising their long spears to await the Abyssal Fiend’s arrival.

Facing the charging fiend, their long spears were utterly useless against it, and even their defensive formation was easily swatted away.

The general on the side was burning with anxiety; seeing his soldiers being slaughtered by the Abyssal Fiend, his heart ached, but his immediate task was to capture the culprit.

Bai Hong was also quite frustrated at the moment; he had already discarded a treasure, all to create chaos and facilitate his escape.

This was near the City Lord’s Mansion, unlike other places, which was why he was so decisive.

Who would have thought that the person in front of him was like a rock in a latrine—both stinky and hardheaded?

The opponent actually watched his own soldiers die under the Abyssal Fiend’s assault without a care, just to hold him back.

Most critically, he couldn’t defeat Bai Hong and didn’t choose to fight head-on. Bai Hong also had no way to deal with him now, so the general just kept an eye on Bai Hong, preventing him from leaving the Cultivation Field, which thoroughly disgusted Bai Hong.

Suddenly, Bai Hong’s expression changed drastically; he hadn’t expected reinforcements to arrive so quickly.

Not far ahead, a large number of fully armed elite soldiers were already seen rushing over to provide support. Facing so many elite soldiers, he knew that if he dragged this on any longer, he would surely meet his end here.

At this point, he could only resort to a secret technique; compared to being captured and waiting for death here, consuming his lifespan was far better.

Bai Hong gritted his teeth, muttering incantations, as a layer of eerie blood-red light emanated from his body.

Once the blood-red light enveloped his entire body, the secret technique was activated. Bai Hong’s strength instantly rose by a level, and he immediately felt his depleted body become full of energy.

At the same time, he charged fiercely towards the general, moving so fast that the general had no time to react.

With a single punch, the general was sent flying several meters, embedding himself into the wall.

Taking advantage of this opening, Bai Hong flew towards the edge of the Cultivation Field.

But just as he was about to escape, the arriving reinforcements had already surrounded his position.

The leading general even appeared in front of him, shouting loudly.

“Villain, get down here!”

The standard long saber in his hand simultaneously slashed down towards Bai Hong.

The combat power of the two was simply not on the same level; if one knew that Bai Hong was currently a ’life-burning’ player, what could this general do against someone who was burning his life force?

His attack was completely weightless in Bai Hong’s eyes, posing no threat whatsoever.

Bai Hong, still in the air, extended his right hand and grabbed the long saber, pulling it forward, instantly drawing the person in front of him.

His left hand quickly slapped to the right, and the general completely vanished.

Bai Hong casually threw the long saber downwards and swiftly left this troublesome place.

And on the adjacent wall, another human-shaped indentation appeared.

Liang Yu quietly hid behind the eaves above, his gaze tightly fixed on the surrounding movements.

At this moment, most of the elite soldiers, under the high-pitched and urgent command of the adjutant, surged towards the Abyssal Fiend like a raging tide, their battle cries shaking even the mountains.

The Abyssal Fiend glowed with a ghostly green light, and with every swing of its massive arm, many elite soldiers were sent flying, screaming continuously.

Meanwhile, the few elite soldiers who stayed behind to search for the general were cautiously examining every corner of the surroundings.

Watching the soldiers围杀 the Abyssal Fiend, Liang Yu became curious about one thing.

Logically, with so many elite soldiers already on the scene, the City Lord should also be here.

However, the City Lord was nowhere to be seen, which naturally piqued Liang Yu’s curiosity.

While Liang Yu was looking around for the City Lord’s whereabouts, the adjutant had already engaged the Abyssal Fiend.

The adjutant moved nimbly, like a black lightning bolt, weaving through the battlefield.

The sharp blade in his hand gleamed with cold light, and each swing carried a fierce momentum, clashing with the Abyssal Fiend in a shower of sparks.

The Abyssal Fiend was by no means an ordinary opponent; its body was massive, emanating an evil aura.

It extended its massive claws, fiercely swiping at the adjutant, stirring up a腥风.

However, the adjutant deftly dodged, easily avoiding the attack, then spun around, his sharp blade precisely piercing the fiend’s arm, drawing a trail of blood.

Currently, the adjutant was clearly suppressing his opponent.

His attack rhythm was tight, giving the fiend no chance to breathe.

Every time the fiend tried to counterattack, he skillfully defused it.

His eyes were firm and sharp, as if he intended to utterly slay this evil Abyssal Fiend.

Clearly, this was not the adjutant’s first encounter with such an opponent.

His combat experience was rich, and his moves flowed seamlessly.

However, although the Abyssal Fiend was at a disadvantage, its power remained formidable, and every struggle contained immense energy.

While the adjutant and the Abyssal Fiend were locked in a fierce battle, movement came from beneath the Cultivation Field.

At this moment, Liang Yu, not far away, also sensed a life form rapidly approaching the surface from underground.

Not long after, a beam of light shot out from beneath the ground, dazzling and brilliant, like a sharp sword directly breaking through the shackles of darkness.

Upon closer inspection, one could even see a figure within the beam of light.

The figure was tall and resolute, seemingly surrounded by a layer of mysterious radiance.

As the beam of light continuously extended upwards, the surrounding air vibrated with a hum, and after the beam exploded.

From the smoke, the figure slowly emerged from the explosion of light; it was a young man dressed in an ancient robe.

His eyes were like deep stars, shimmering with mysterious light, and his long, dark hair floated in the light with the wind.

After the young man landed, Liang Yu felt that the aura emanating from him grew stronger and stronger, rapidly climbing, and the ground around his feet had already begun to crack, showing signs of sinking.

The surrounding land trembled slightly due to his power, as if revering his presence.

The soldiers around them retreated one after another at the sight of this, and Liang Yu saw that their evacuation movements were painfully familiar.

It was clear that this was not the first time such an event had occurred.

The Abyssal Fiend also noticed this young man, seemingly sensing that the scent from him was even more delicious and tempting, so much so that it ignored the retreating soldiers around it and instinctively attacked the young man.

Originally, the Abyssal Fiend thought this time it would be as smooth as before and it could enjoy a delicious meal.

Unexpectedly, this time something changed.

When it arrived in front of the young man, it was directly pressed to the ground by the young man’s aura, unable to move.
