Chapter 509: One man against one city

The sword energy light blade shot forth like a bolt of lightning, its momentum vast and powerful, as if it could tear through the void.

However, just as it was about to strike its target, a blood-red vine whip appeared suddenly like a ghost, lashing fiercely at the sword energy light blade.

In an instant, the sword energy light blade and the blood-red vine whip collided violently, emitting a crisp, loud sound.

Though the sword energy light blade was incredibly powerful, it seemed somewhat vulnerable in the face of the blood-red vine whip’s continuous lashing.

In just a moment, the sword energy light blade was shattered into countless fragmented rays of light, scattering like shooting stars.

This simple test didn’t reveal much, and Liang Yu wasn’t surprised.

On the contrary, he suddenly felt something surging towards him from below like a tide.

This force came with a fierce momentum, as if a tidal wave was about to engulf him.

However, what was most puzzling was that he wasn’t standing on the ground now, but high in the sky.

Logically, at such a high altitude, nothing should be able to reach here.

So, what could possibly break through all obstacles and reach this high-altitude area?

Moreover, the number of these things was incredibly vast, so numerous that it was astonishing.

Soon, the answer was revealed.

Suddenly, a dried corpse appeared silently above Liang Yu like a phantom.

It seemed to have emerged from the Giant Tree, lunging towards Liang Yu at an astonishing speed.

Liang Yu’s alertness was extremely high; almost the instant the dried corpse appeared, he sensed this abnormal aura.

He quickly raised the sword in his hand and, without hesitation, swung it towards the dried corpse.

With a crisp ‘crack,’ Liang Yu’s sword flashed like lightning, accurately striking the dried corpse’s body.

In an instant, the dried corpse was forcefully split into two halves, the severed parts splashing through the air.

The dried corpse, cut in half, lost its support and fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string, tracing a strange parabolic arc.

Its body twisted in the air, as if still struggling, but ultimately it crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Not long after, a horrifying scene unfolded—one dried corpse after another emerged from the Giant Tree like mushrooms after rain.

These dried corpses seemed to have been summoned from the tree by some mysterious force; they clung tightly to the trunk and branches, densely packed, forming a bizarre and terrifying sight.

Liang Yu’s eyes widened; he was completely stunned by the scene before him.

The sheer number of these dried corpses made it impossible for him to count them.

Their bodies were shriveled like withered wood, their skin stretched tightly over their bones, presenting a repulsive grayish-white color.

Some dried corpses still bore expressions of terror from their last moments, as if recounting the dreadful experiences they had endured.

What was even more alarming was that such a massive horde of dried corpses appeared even after his meteor shower bombardment.

Although Liang Yu wasn’t afraid of these dried corpses, their numbers were simply too, too many.

With so many dried corpses, their origin could only be one: the entire city’s populace.

Liang Yu didn’t know how many people were in this city, but he knew that for such a large city, the number would at least be in the hundreds of thousands.

If Shangguan Ye were here, he would surely go mad again; Liang Yu also didn’t know how those two were doing up above.

However, at this moment, he had no time to worry about other matters.

A figure leaped down from the Giant Tree above like a ghost, as if an evil spirit had burst forth from hell.

Immediately after, the previously calm tide of corpses, like a disturbed swarm of bees, followed suit, countless dried corpses leaping madly, baring their fangs and claws, their faces twisted in狰狞 expressions, as if to devour everything in sight.

The scene was like a terrifying nightmare, the tide of corpses surged like a raging ocean, overwhelming him, its powerful momentum sending chills down one’s spine.

Facing such a terrifying scene, he showed no fear; instead, a faint smile played on his lips.

Liang Yu faced the tide of corpses, his Aurora Sword twirling in his hand, the weapon shimmering with a cold light, as if speaking of its sharpness and ruthlessness.

His eyes were fixed on the approaching dried corpses, the killing intent in his gaze burning like a hot flame.

Finally, the overwhelming dried corpses entered his attack range.

Liang Yu gripped his Aurora Sword tightly, his arm muscles taut, all his strength concentrated into this one strike.

He swung his sword fiercely, the blade cutting a dazzling arc through the air, like a bolt of lightning tearing through the dark night sky.

As this strike was unleashed, a massive sword energy light blade, like a roaring beast, surged forth from Liang Yu.

This sword energy light blade glowed with a pale blue light, as beautiful and mysterious as the Aurora.

It was dozens of meters long and several meters wide, with a majestic and heart-stopping aura.

However, unexpectedly, the speed of this sword energy light blade was unusually slow, completely defying logic.

It moved forward slowly, like a stumbling old man, as if every step required immense effort to support.

Just as Liang Yu unleashed this sword energy, the dried corpses, baring their fangs and claws with twisted expressions, lunged fiercely towards him like hungry tigers.

Their speed was incredibly fast, like lightning streaking across the night sky, forming a stark contrast with the slowly advancing sword energy.

As the dried corpses were about to crash into Liang Yu, at this critical moment, the massive sword energy finally met them.

In an instant, there was no earth-shattering roar, nor did the entire world tremble.

The dried corpses, like fragile porcelain, were instantly torn into fragments by the sword energy, turning into nothingness.

Yet, the sword energy remained completely unaffected, continuing its slow yet determined advance, as if nothing could impede its progress.

Just as Liang Yu had dealt with the enemies in front of him, suddenly, a crackling sound came from above his head, as if dumplings were being dropped.

He looked up in astonishment, only to see countless densely packed dried corpses raining down from the sky.

At this critical moment, Liang Yu’s left hand shot up like lightning, then he thrust it forcefully upwards!

In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth, and the originally small Aurora Shield instantly became enormous, like an indestructible city wall, forcefully blocking the space above Liang Yu.

This Aurora Shield emitted a dazzling light, completely covering the area within one meter around Liang Yu.
