Chapter 764 A Man Is Nice When Death Is Near

The roars, like a tsunami, filled heaven and earth.

The ghoul army attacked the experts of the two clans like a raging tide.

The battle began in an instant.

Untold Spirits of the Dead swarmed in like seawater, making everyone desperate.

The Warlords and Generals of the Dead were so powerful that they were no longer afraid of the supreme Yang Qi. They could fight the experts of the two clans head-on. This was absolutely a bad sign for those experts, which meant that they could no longer crush the ghoul army.

Roars, screams, angry shouts, explosions…

All kinds of sounds began to fill everyone’s ears.

Greenish Spirits of the Dead, red blood, white bones…

Death was coming at any time and place. Nothing but a ghastly sight could be seen.

Something even more frightening happened. The corpses of every human and demon expert would soon be occupied by the Spirits of the Dead. They turned into undying monsters, and their bodies were shrouded in a strangely greenish glow. They stood up again and waved their knives at their fellows.

The power of these Spirits of the Dead was greater. They were much more bloodthirsty and crazier.

The terrifying battle lasted for half a day.

More than half of the human experts had died, and the Demon Clan had also suffered heavy losses.

The Spirits of the Dead were simply endless. They would always rush over like a tide, depriving those living creatures of their hope.

Every time one of the experts of the two clans died, a powerful Warlord-level monster would emerge in the ghoul army. As time went by, the scale of victory began to lean toward the ghoul army.

It was definitely a hopeless battle because the enemies could never be wiped out.

As long as someone in the two clans was slightly injured, he would be infected by the power of the Spirits of the Dead and gradually lose his fighting capacity.

Some experts chose to self-detonate at the moment when they were about to die. They would rather die, with their bodies and souls destroyed, than be possessed by the Spirits of the Dead and turn into evil creatures.

Ding Hao activated his flaming Qi to slaughter the Spirits of the Dead.

Wherever the Bi Fang’s Fire passed, tens of thousands of Spirits of the Dead would turn into ashes.

He had killed countless Spirits of the Dead till now.

But it was simply useless because there were too many of them.

Even with Ding Hao’s inborn strong constitution and two Dantians, he felt tired at this point.

Not far away, Yu Miejue was covered in fire. She was only able to be on the defensive. The giant Shi Wa beside her summoned his divine beast, Vermilion Bird, by activating the tattoos on him, to guard his other two companions.

In the distance, the golden light on Wen Duoqing, the Demon Clan genius, was extremely dim, and it was obvious that he was like a spent arrow. The wizen-faced Great Saint of the Demon Clan beside him was not in a good situation, either. He had been injured when he fought with Chu Kuangtu, the Shadow of Destruction. At this moment, he could barely resist the attacks.

The bronze-skinned middle-aged Martial Sage of the Human Clan was shrouded in a ball of dark light that flew out of his sleeve. Surprisingly, he was still able to continuously kill the Spirits of the Dead. He was in a much better condition than the others, but it was nearly impossible for him to turn the tables.

On the entire battlefield, most of the experts of the two clans, who had fought to this extent, were in low spirits. They could barely defend themselves with their shields of power.

Everyone knew very well that if it went on like this, when their Qi and Demonic Power were exhausted, they would die.

“What should I do?” Ding Hao refrained from activating his rusted sword and devil saber. He was not sure whether the power of his one strike could kill the Shadow of Destruction. If he could not succeed in one strike, all his previous efforts and restraint would be in vain. He must find an excellent opportunity.

Even if the two silvery shadows couldn’t defeat Chu Kuangtu, he would be more confident if they could consume half of his strength.

“Urghhh…”

Someone screamed and exploded into ashes.

By this time, the battle had reached a critical point. Many people could no longer hold on and chose to self-detonate before they died.

To preserve their dignity, both the Human Clan and the Demon Clan made the same choice. They would rather die in pieces than become half-dead zombie-like creatures. As powerful ones, their dignity didn’t allow them to be possessed by evil creatures.

“Master, I can’t go back, but I didn’t disgrace you…” A middle-aged Martial Grand Emperor shouted. At the last moment of his life, he shouted the name of his master, and then exploded into ashes, destroying all the Spirits of the Dead within hundreds of meters.

“My sect, my mission… Urghhh, I deeply regret it. Sister Fu, I shouldn’t have come to the ruins of the Sacred Hall against your advice!” Another human expert also ended his life in a self-detonation way with infinite remorse.

“No, I can’t die. Once I die, the hundreds of thousands of disciples of the Fox Race on the Mountain of Heavenly Eyes will become food for others…” A Great Demon at the Peak of the Demon Emperor Realm from the Fox Race shouted. She fought with all her might and her concern for her race. She wished to return alive because she was the backbone of the Fox Race on the Mountain of Heavenly Eyes. If she died here, the entire race would suffer a calamity.

“I am willing to give up everything. Whoever gets out alive, please protect my people…” Another Demon Emperor was also struggling with all his might.

Before he died, he burst out all his Power of the Origin. It was like a flowing light that flashed across the sky, burning all the Spirits of the Dead that surrounded Wen Duoqing, the Demon Clan genius, into ashes, which won Wen Duoqing a chance to breathe. Before he died, he begged loudly, “Your Highness, if you survive, please train and protect my people…”

Almost at the same time, several demon experts blew themselves up beside Wen Duoqing before they died. They used their last strength to resist the attacks of the Spirits of the Dead for this demon genius and bought him time to recover in the hope that he could leave this place alive. If he became a lord someday, he might be able to protect their races.

Many of them were the backbone of their respective races. They came to explore with beautiful wishes, but unfortunately, they ended up dying like this.

Many masters of the Human Clan followed suit after seeing what the experts of the Demon Clan had done.

Plenty of human experts, who could not hold on any longer, chose Yu Miejue, Ding Hao, and the bronze-skinned middle-aged Martial Sage at the last moment. They used the power of their self-detonation to help the three kill the surrounding Spirits of the Dead. They also shouted their names, hoping that if the three of them could survive, they could protect their sects and families!

The reason why Ding Hao and the other two were chosen was that they were in the best condition among all the people.

Moreover, Ding Hao and Yu Miejue owned Divine Artifacts, which indicated that they had great luck. Generally speaking, people like them would not die easily. The bronze-skinned middle-aged Martial Sage had been shielding himself with the black light in his sleeves and looked relaxed. Some people thought that he had a chance to leave alive too!

“Ding Hao, I apologize for what I have done to you before. I hope you can forgive me…”

Wei Wubing, the Highest Elder of the Wuji Sect, had been injured by the Shadow of Destruction before. At this time, besieged by countless Spirits of the Dead, he could not hold on any longer. He tried his best to get to Ding Hao’s side. As the saying goes, a man is nice when death is near. He even put aside his dignity as a Martial Sage and apologized to Ding Hao.

“Elder Wei, it’s nothing…” Ding Hao smiled bitterly.

“I know I made a mistake and I’m unforgivable… Alas, I, Wei Wubing, have never done anything heartless in my life, although I’m not righteous. This time, I colluded with that hypocrite Yue Tianxing for the sake of the Wuji Sect. My sect has declined with few talents. Surrounded by strong enemies, we are about to be wiped out. I thought that I could risk my life to gain something in the Sacred Hall, but I didn’t expect…”

Speaking of this, Wei Wubing couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Ding Hao didn’t know what to say.

To tell the truth, Wei Wubing was not that bad. A slight error in thought may cause a god to turn into a demon.

“I can’t hold on any longer. Let me defend you for a while. You should seize the time to recover your Qi. If you can get out of here alive, on account of my final atonement, I hope that you can lend a helping hand when the Wuji Sect is in danger…”

After Wei Wubing finished speaking, infinite brilliance burst out from his whole body, and he seemed to have returned to his heyday in a minute, instantly killing all the Spirits of the Dead within a few kilometers around him.

He guarded Ding Hao like a loyal protector.

He was burning the last bit of his Power of the Origin, which was a way to exhaust his vitality. It could not last too long. Once his vitality was consumed, he would die without a doubt. Even an immortal could not save him.

Ding Hao sighed and sat cross-legged on the spot to recover his Qi.

He did not reject Wei Wubing’s offer.

This meant that he had agreed to the request of the Highest Elder of the Wuji Sect.

“Hahahaha, a crock is likely to break near a well as it’s used for fetching water from the well; a general always leads his men into battle, so he has a good chance of dying. Mighty as I am, I didn’t expect that I would end my life here. Haha, it’s great. As a warrior, it’s worth it to die in battle. Hahaha, it’s worth it…”

He laughed sadly but burned himself fearlessly.

He was like a blazing sun, releasing endless power.

No Spirits of the Dead could get within a one-kilometer radius of him. Once they rushed in, they would be instantly burned into ashes.

Ding Hao chewed a blade of top-grade herbal medicine and refined its efficacy, trying to restore the Qi that had been consumed while racing against time.

At this critical moment, he was still reasonable. Those who were initially enemies set aside their prejudice against each other and helped each other to fight for the final hope. They even sacrificed themselves to pave the way for those with greater hope of survival…

Right at this moment…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Horrible explosions were heard.

The terrifying battlefield in the distance, filled with silvery and black light, finally shattered.

The battle between the two silvery shadows and the Shadow of Destruction, Chu Kuangtu, seemed to have finally come to an end.

“Hahaha, I’m truly invincible. Who else can stop me? Hahaha, you two watchdogs, you’re no match for me!” Crazy and proud laughter came out of the scattered black and white flames.
