Chapter 758 I Have Exhausted All My Strength

Although the two of them had never met before, Yue Tianxing hated the bronze-skinned middle-aged Martial Sage the moment he set eyes on him. He vaguely thought this man to be a huge threat, and so could not help rebutting him.

But it was true that Yue Tianxing had not sensed any danger.

“Haha, if Sect Leader Yue feels the same way, we don’t have to worry…” The Martial Grand Emperor guffawed, turning himself into a crimson streak of light and charging madly into the sea of ghouls.

Yue Tianxing smiled faintly.

The bronze-skinned Martial Sage gently shook his head.

Suddenly—

“Oh… no…”

“Help…”

Screams could be heard from the greenish sea of ghouls far away.

That low-level expert who had been laughing now screamed in horror, like a fat pig being slaughtered. His scream soon died away. Everyone could clearly sense the auras of the Human Clan experts in that sea of ghouls disappearing!

There were exactly 36 screams.

The exact number of the Human Clan experts who had gone into the sea of ghouls.

“What’s that?”

The crowd could vaguely see figures materializing among the Spirits of the Dead. These figures mingled with the dense and boundless Spirits of the Dead, looking bizarre and obviously different from ordinary Spirits of the Dead.

“Could they be high-level Spirits of the Dead?”

Someone exclaimed in alarm.

The next moment, their outlines became more distinct. They left the sea of ghouls and quickly came to the human crowd. One could now see clearly that they were the Human Clan experts who had charged into the Spirits of the Dead.

They did not seem injured at all.

“They’re fine, they’re fine…” Someone cried, surprised and delighted. “They’re back…”

“What happened? Are you fellows all right?” Another walked up to them.

“No, watch out! Retreat quickly, they’re already dead.” Ding Hao immediately detected something strange. These men seemed to have no wounds on their bodies, but they were somewhat stiff and emitting a pale green aura of death.

“Step back! Don’t let them get near you!” The bronze-skinned Martial Sage also shouted.

Raaauughhh!

The next moment, terrible shrieks resounded.

Green balls of light gushed out of the five apertures of the returning experts like blood. The eyes on their bowed heads suddenly opened. There were no irises in them. They had been replaced by horrific green balls of light, like those of wicked ghosts!

Green light blades suddenly appeared in their hands. They streaked toward the humans like lightning.

Many were caught off guard and instantly sliced into pieces. Blood spurted out.

Many experts with quick responses immediately retaliated.

They soon found out that these creatures, which were similar to the Spirits of the Dead, were not afraid of fire-property Qi energy. They were like living humans with terrible combat power.

“They… they’re possessed by the Spirits of the Dead! They’ve become the Generals of the Dead!”

Someone shouted.

An expert who had been possessed by a Spirit of the Dead shattered and disintegrated. A ball of emerald light burst out, merging into the sea of ghouls. Quite clearly, this ball containing a Spirit of the Dead had far more horrific energy than an ordinary Spirit of the Dead!

“Good heavens, look over there…”

Someone shouted in horror and pointed.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Ding Hao felt a shiver down his spine. He gasped in shock.

Numerous experts of the Human and the Demon Clans who had just been slain in battle had stood up again. The greenish light from the Spirits of the Dead shimmered on their wounds. Like devils being resurrected, they crawled up from the fissured earth one by one and transformed into Generals of the Dead!

A higher-level Spirit of the Dead could possess a dead body and fight with it.

“Who just said there was no danger?” Ding Hao asked loudly.

Yue Tianxing’s face betrayed his complex emotions. He glanced at Ding Hao, a hint of viciousness flashing across his eyes. But outwardly, he looked distressed, sighing and smiling awkwardly. “It’s all my fault. I caused their deaths. I can’t forgive myself!”

“Sect Leader Yue, don’t blame yourself. No one expected this!”

“Yes, we can’t blame Sect Leader Yue!”

Many voiced their support. They were basically experts who had been with Yue Tianxing all this while.

Ding Hao sneered. “A hypocrite and a bunch of fools, being made use of… They’re all dead. There’s no point in saying this now! You’d better think about how to deal with the situation. Didn’t someone say he could kill all the Spirits of the Dead? Why is he holding back?”

“How dare you!”

“Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to Sect Leader Yue like that!”

“Juniors these days are getting more and more presumptuous!”

The expressions of these experts with Yue Tianxing changed, and they reprimanded Ding Hao harshly. A few who did not know Ding Hao were even planning to teach him a lesson. Fortunately, someone stopped them and whispered something in their ears. Their complexions immediately changed. They stared at Ding Hao with fear and disbelief.

Yue Tianxing snorted coldly and no longer looked at Ding Hao. After observing carefully for a while, he said, “So what if they’re now Generals of the Dead? As long as we break up their bodies, they’re no different from ordinary Spirits of the Dead!”

After he spoke, he raised his hand. A crimson column of light shot out.

Boom!

A General of the Dead was instantly shattered. Even the high-level Spirit of the Dead inside him had been incinerated into ashes.

Yue Tianxing attacked again and again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

These Generals of the Dead were certainly no match for a Martial Sage. They exploded one after another, turning into ashes. The noisy crowd finally calmed down after witnessing Yue Tianxing’s grand display of power.

“Haha, there’s no need to be scared. With Senior Yue with us, we will rout these Generals of the Dead!”

Some grabbed the opportunity and cheered Yue Tianxing loudly.

His powerful Martial Sage strength had indeed boosted the confidence of many.

Ding Hao and the bronze-skinned Martial Sage did not say anything. These Generals of the Dead were not the most horrific existences. They were only afraid that these Spirits of the Dead would undergo even more unexpected changes.

“Ding Hao, you’re a member of the Human Clan. You’re powerful, so you should do something for us. Don’t just talk and do nothing. Why don’t you take care of the remaining Generals of the Dead?” Yue Tianxing suddenly spoke after killing hundreds of them.

Many shifted their eyes to Ding Hao.

Ding Hao sneered in his heart but said nothing. He raised his hand, unleashing a beam of Bi Fang’s Fire.

The fiery crimson light morphed into a lifelike Bi Fang in the void, flapping its wings and shrieking loudly. It charged into the sea of ghouls like a stream of light. Wherever it passed, the Spirits and Generals of the Dead within that several-hundred-mile radius would be instantly burned to ashes.

The Bi Fang’s Fire was one of the most Yang fires in the world. It was the nemesis of these Spirits of the Dead. It was simply overwhelming. In the blink of an eye, countless spirits had been slain. The sea of ghouls had frozen.

His strike was even more effective than Yue Tianxing’s.

Many onlookers were flabbergasted.

They had only heard of Ding Hao’s name and did not see his power with their own eyes. They had always doubted his true abilities. He was just a 17 or 18-year-old teenager. Even with his unparalleled good fortune and talent, how powerful could he be? The boy couldn’t have started training in his mother’s womb, could he?

To them, Ding Hao was just a junior.

It never occurred to them that Ding Hao’s powerful first strike would even surpass that of Yue Tianxing, a Martial Sage.

At this moment…

“Humph, since you have such strength, why didn’t you attack earlier? You allowed the Generals of the Dead to kill dozens of our clan members…” A sarcastic voice rang out from the crowd.

Ding Hao glanced back at the crowd, his gaze like lightning.

That person must have sinister motives in saying that.

“Hahaha, bravo! You’re a young hero indeed. I’m impressed. So the task of killing these Spirits of the Dead will fall on you, Young Brother Ding… With great power comes great responsibility. I believe everyone here will be grateful for your help today!” Yue Tianxing smiled hypocritically, trying to ensnare Ding Hao with his words.

“Forcing me to attack to show my loyalty to the Human Clan?

“You want to exhaust my strength?”

Ding Hao was sneering in his heart, but he pretended to be exhausted. He tottered, his face turning pale. He said in an extremely weak voice, “My strength is almost depleted, and I can’t launch a second attack. Let me regulate my Qi and recover first. Sect Leader Yue, you’re a Sage and the true master. Please help us attack!”

The smile on Yue Tianxing’s face froze.

“What a cunning little b*stard. He dared to say this and turned the tables on me.”

“Haha, since you don’t want to help our clan, Young Brother Ding, I have to attack again to save our fellows from getting injured. I can’t bear to see them wounded!” Since his plot against Ding Hao did not succeed, Yue Tianxing simply went with the flow, pretending to be valiant and chivalrous to win the hearts of his fellows.

His figure flashed and he went straight into the sea of ghouls. Scarlet flames swirled all over his body, exploding thunderously. All the Spirits of the Dead within a radius of one mile were incinerated, like evaporating seawater.

“Sect Leader Yue is truly a pillar of the Human Clan!”

“The Aloof Man indeed lives up to his name. He has shown such valor at this critical moment!”

“A true gentleman! And a true Sage!”

Many cheered loudly. A few experts, who were originally neutral, could not help but secretly admire this man. Yue Tianxing was indeed worthy of respect. He had used up so much of his Qi to help his fellows.

“We can’t let Senior Yue fight alone. Let’s attack them together!”

“That’s right. We mustn’t be like some selfish junior who’s trying to preserve his strength. We can’t let Senior Yue face this horde alone!”

“Yes, someone clearly has the power but is unwilling to act. He gave so many excuses…”

That roving, androgynous voice once again rang out from within the crowd.
