Chapter 198 - Helping!
From time to time, stone slabs could be seen strewn across the ground between the towering ancient trees.
Before these trees grew up, this place was most likely a plaza that was paved with stone in Longquan ancient town.
An intense battle was taking place in this area.
Shouts and screams rang out one after another. There were more than ten young men and women fighting and running around. The surrounding black shadows were floating all over the place as if they were weightless and like ghosts. They seemed to be careless.
"So this is a vengeful spirit?"
Behind a half-collapsed stone wall, Tang Huan's eyes flashed with surprise.
There were more than a hundred vengeful spirits surrounding the young Martial Warriors. The vengeful spirit's appearance was extremely similar to a human's. It had five facial features and four limbs. However, its body didn't look like it was made of flesh and bones. It was just a faint shadow, and it was rather transparent.
Their methods of attack were rather simple, they mostly used pounce, bite, and tear, but they were extremely vicious.
Furthermore, it seemed that there was a cold and gloomy aura being emitted from their bodies all the time. Even though they were tens of metres away, Tang Huan could still feel the coldness that seemed to want to drill into his bones.
These sounds seemed to contain a terrifying power.
Tang Huan saw with his own eyes a vengeful spirit being sliced into half by a sword, but following that, the two halves of its body merged together, with the exception of its body which was a little lighter, it did not seem to be injured at all.
Tang Huan frowned, this type of vengeful spirit was indeed not easy to deal with. Once he was surrounded by many of them, it would be difficult to escape.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
From the crowd, a mournful and miserable scream suddenly rang out. A young man had actually been grabbed by four limbs and ripped apart by a few vengeful spirits. One of them, a thin vengeful spirit, was the fastest. He immediately turned into a black light and drilled into the young man's head.
After a short while, the vengeful spirit appeared again. Not only did its body become a bit more solid, there was also a red light shining in its eyes.
"Could it be that this vengeful spirit can enhance itself by devouring the souls of others?" Seeing that, Tang Huan was slightly shocked in his heart.
"Long Heng is dead, Wang Xi is dead, and Lu Jian is also dead …" "It's over, it's all over, we will all die here!"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"Help, help …" Whoever can save me, I will give them five million gold coins! "
"..."
The young man's miserable appearance of death scared the group of men and women to the point that they almost couldn't stand it anymore. Quite a few of them couldn't help but start crying out hysterically.
"F * ck, a bunch of cowards! If they die, then so be it! What's there to be afraid of? Why are they wailing like ghosts? Aren't there enough vengeful spirits here?"
The sound of cursing suddenly rang out.
Tang Huan was startled, the voice actually made him feel that it was extremely familiar, and he subconsciously looked towards the direction of the voice.
"Gu Ying?"
Immediately, Mu Yan gasped uncontrollably, as surprise flashed past Tang Huan's eyes.
Dozens of meters away, a sturdy man with a red sword appeared from behind a big tree. He was over two metres tall, with a sharp and clear face, and a sturdy and sturdy body. It was Gu Ying. Before this, Tang Huan had seen the faintly discernible figure behind the tree, but he did not expect it to be him.
Tang Huan remembered that Gu Ying had once said that they had returned to the Glory Continent right after the conclusion of their mission.
However, Gu Fei and her figure did not appear in the crowd.
Under the berserk attacks of the group of vengeful spirits, Gu Ying and more than ten people were already surrounded by danger. In a short moment, several more people were injured by the vengeful spirits. At this point, other than Gu Ying and a few others who were still fighting with their lives on the line, the rest of them had expressions of despair.
"Damn, this time I really got screwed pretty badly by these popinjays!"
Gu Ying forcefully waved the huge sword in his hand, forcing the seven to eight vengeful spirits to retreat. However, he was smiling bitterly in his heart.
Having been chased all the way by the vengeful spirit to this point, the Genuine Qi in his body was almost completely exhausted, and he could no longer hold on for much longer. At the beginning, there were only thirty or so people in the team. If they could work together and put their all into the fight, they would have a high chance of escaping. Unfortunately, after encountering such a group of idiots, they had initially been fearful of each other and cherished their lives like gold. As time went on, the number of people became fewer. No matter how hard they fought, only death awaited them.
"Bam!"
Just as Gu Ying's huge sword slashed out, it was hit by a claw and was actually almost let go of his hand. Although he was holding onto the sword hilt tightly, he staggered and fell down heavily onto the ground. The group of vengeful spirits would never miss such an opportunity.
"It's over!"
Although Gu Ying was extremely unwilling, he still helplessly closed his eyes. He could already imagine what kind of fate would befall him, and he was sure that he would be torn into pieces by a few vengeful spirits just like those Martial Warriors s who had died earlier.
However, a moment later, the scene of his body being torn to shreds didn't appear. Instead, a terrifying heat swept over from the side and enveloped him inside. In an instant, he was drenched in sweat, as if his entire body was on the verge of burning.
Immediately afterwards, he heard the ear-piercing screech of the vengeful spirit, and it seemed to be filled with panic.
"What's going on?"
Gu Ying suddenly opened his eyes, and the first thing that entered his line of sight was a flowing, colorful long spear. The spear was located there, and it looked green like a tide that was endlessly growing, while the spear head was like a red-hot iron.
At the location where the spear was pointed, the vengeful spirit had retreated. The chilliness that had filled this small region had actually disappeared.
Gu Ying's gaze swept across the pike quickly and immediately saw the owner of the pike. The pike's owner was a young man dressed in black, his body was tall and slender, his face delicate and pretty, with a huge bundle tied to his back.
"Tang …"
Gu Ying could not believe his eyes. The moment he saw the young man's face, his mouth opened subconsciously, but just as the voice reached his throat, he seemed to have thought of something and swallowed it down.
The person who came was Tang Huan!
Gu Ying never thought that Tang Huan would actually appear at the most critical moment and save his life from the hands of the vengeful spirit.
"Hu!"
Tang Huan took big steps as though he was flying, passing right in front of Gu Ying, and the Dragon and Phoenix Lance in his hand shot out like a ray of light. The slowest vengeful spirit to dodge the attack was penetrated by the scorching red spear tip. The increasingly terrifying heat instantly erupted.
"Yah!"
The vengeful spirit twisted its body and explosively retreated, letting out an extremely sharp scream.
This voice contained an extremely strong penetrating power. Not only did it seem to be able to penetrate the eardrums, it also seemed to be able to pierce deep into the soul, causing one's soul to tremble.
