Chapter 397: Lend A Hand

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, a blade light flashed in the air. The blade light hit the incoming Blood Ghouls, and the blood color on their bodies squirmed. They wanted to recover, but unexpectedly, the blade light contained a strange power. It instantly destroyed the blood color and spread out, turning the Blood Ghouls into nothingness.

Some people saw that scene and were overjoyed. They shouted, “The Martial Arts True Intent can destroy the Blood Ghouls!”

However, the Martial Arts True Intent was strong because it was too difficult to comprehend. Only a handful of the remaining people obtained the Martial Arts True Intent.

“Fireball Spell!”

Suddenly, a thin man dressed as a mage raised his staff and pointed at the Blood Ghoul charging at him. In an instant, a fireball collided with the Blood Ghoul.

Boom!

The fireball exploded and landed on the Blood Ghoul’s body, immediately turning into a huge fire.

The blood light on the Blood Ghoul’s body circulated, constantly repairing and extinguishing the flames. The effect was not very strong, but it did not die.

However, when the mage saw that the fireball spell was effective, he immediately released three more fireballs, all landing on the Blood Ghoul’s body.

The truly terrifying thing about the Blood Ghoul was the layer of blood light on its body. It was constantly repairing and extinguishing the flames. But it was also rapidly weakening.

When many people saw that, they were overjoyed.

They did not have the Martial Arts True Intent, but they more or less knew all sorts of spells.

Even if they really did not know any spells, there were all sorts of supporting tools or treasures that could unleash similar energy attacks.

Therefore, after the initial panic, everyone could resist the Blood Ghouls’ attacks.

The Scorpion race’s means were different from the Humans. They had a layer of black light on their bodies with an extremely high defense, which could resist the Blood Ghouls’ pouncing attacks and bodily possessions. At the same time, the scorpion stingers on their backs continuously attacked, and that actually caused quite a bit of damage to those Blood Ghouls.

However, as time passed, the number of Blood Ghouls also increased. The pressure on everyone once again increased.

Li Xiang’s method of dealing with those Blood Ghouls was very simple. He immediately activated the Sacred Flame Halo, and a layer of pure white flames appeared on everyone’s bodies.

As soon as those Blood Ghouls got close, they would be burned to ashes by the flames.

Ye Qiu and Fu Mingxue, who were nearby, also received Li Xiang’s care and were blessed with the Sacred Flame Halo.

Surprise and joy appeared on the two’s faces.

“Wow, it’s actually a halo skill. It’s even a Sacred Flame Halo that’s famous for exorcism. With such an effect, it is at least a high-rank Sacred Flame Halo! These monsters can’t even get close!”

Just then, more Scorpion Warriors and Human transcendents were dying. The Blood Ghouls were like a tide pouring down from the guillotine, showing no signs of reduction.

The numbers were simply too huge. From hundreds to thousands, and it was escalating to almost ten thousand. And there were also countless Headless Blood Ghouls appearing.

No matter who it was, they couldn’t help but feel despair when faced with such a situation.

Li Xiang also didn’t expect the guillotine to be so brutal, suppressing so many evil spirits.

Initially, he didn’t plan to pay attention to the other Human transcendents. After all, they didn’t know each other, and he didn’t know their character.

However, in the face of such a desperate situation, he still waved his hand and blessed every Human transcendent with the Sacred Flame Halo.

In an instant, those Human transcendents who were almost waiting to die discovered that the evil creatures that pounced on them were burned to ashes the moment they got close.

They did not even need to do it themselves. Wherever they went, those blood-colored evil creatures would be burned to ashes within a specific range.

Very quickly, someone discovered the white halo under their feet and found the source of the halo.

“This is the halo skill that the Human powerhouse shared!”

All the Human transcendents immediately showed gratitude on their faces.

“Many thanks to this friend for your help. In the future, if you need any help, I will not hesitate to lay down my life if need to!”

“Many thanks to this honorable powerhouse. Sea Billow Empire will definitely deeply remember your kindness!”

The Human powerhouses expressed their gratitude one after another.

Li Xiang waved his hand and said, “No need. I’m only helping you out because we’re all humans! It’s nothing!”

At the same time, he swept his gaze and landed on a corner of the platform. There were three or four people huddled together, protecting a woman in a white combat uniform and a head of blue hair.

“Sea Billow Empire? I seem to have heard of this name before. It doesn’t seem to be very friendly towards the Kingdom of Dawn. Does this count as aiding the enemy? Forget it. I only saved them so that I could feel at ease. I’m not looking for anything in return. If the other party becomes my enemy in the future, I’ll just kill them. There’s no need to be bothered by this!”

As Li Xiang activated his Sacred Flame Halo, the threat of those Blood Ghouls significantly decreased.

However, there were many Blood Ghouls, so it was impossible to unleash the Sacred Flame Halo’s power out of thin air. It required the caster’s mana or energy. If the energy were exhausted, even with the halo, it would not be able to unleash its full power.

Therefore, the crisis was only temporarily resolved.

Suddenly, Fu Mingxue said, “I see a chain on the opposite side that leads to the other side of the cliff. Maybe we can leave from there.”

Li Xiang looked over and also noticed the chain.

“Since there’s a way out, then you should leave quickly! I’ll cover your back!”

He naturally didn’t have the personality of a saint. He did that because he wanted to see the Scorpion race and also wanted to try out another function of the Tower of Stars.

Therefore, he directly led everyone to charge toward the opposite side.

The Blood Ghouls and evil creatures were burned to ashes wherever he passed.

As they moved forward, the Human transcendents gathered together. Their speed also became faster. Very soon, they reached the edge of the platform.

Here, a thigh-thick chain was engulfed by the darkness, leading to an unknown place.

Li Xiang’s group’s movements made the Blood Ghouls even crazier. They rushed over one after another, and a few people were almost dragged away by those evil creatures.

After all, the battle had been going on for so long, and many of them had exhausted their energy. Even with the Sacred Flame Halo, they could not last long.

Fortunately, Li Xiang acted in time and saved those people.

“Let’s go! Don’t delay!”

Those transcendent powerhouses in good status cupped their hands at Li Xiang, then flew up the chain and ran away.

Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to cross the chain no matter what. It was hundreds of meters long, so they could only climb, and they wouldn’t have much strength left halfway through.

They would definitely die if there were swaying in the middle or if the wind blew.

“Brother Ye and Brother Fu, you too. Don’t wait for me. These evil creatures can’t hurt me!”

Ye Qiu and Fu Mingxue had some understanding of Li Xiang’s power. At the very least, before the Sacred Flame Halo disappeared, there should be no problems.

“Then we won’t stand on ceremony. Don’t try to be brave. There are at least a million evil creatures here. Even if you’re a divine grade powerhouse, it would be difficult for you to sustain the energy consumption for such a long time.”
