C1298 Like a Disaster
Looking over, Li Xiu saw Fu Rui and Su Xinyu lying on the ground.
The two of them had the lowest realms among all the people who had come this time.
After a long and fierce battle, regardless of whether it was the body or the spirit, they were the first to collapse and fainted.
They weren't lying there before, and they couldn't have been lying down.
It was very obvious that Yun Nichang had brought them back to this relatively safe area.
If they had stayed farther away, they would have been torn to pieces by the zombies.
But Li Xiu still shook his head and hoarsely said: "I don't have enough strength to talk to you again. Our people cannot lose anything."
With that, he closed his eyes and a dim light appeared on his body that was originally covered in blood.
The light condensed into distorted words.
His hair began to grow long, gray, and unkempt.
An aura of desolation and terror was released as the pair of fangs gradually revealed themselves.
This was the fourth time he had entered the Asura Dao in such a short period of time.
Under normal circumstances, going once every three days would not be a problem.
But today, in just a short few hours, he had consecutively entered this state, so the pressure on Li Xiu's body could be imagined.
This time, he didn't even manage to fully transform into an Asura and his aura began to weaken.
"Stop!"
At this moment, another voice sounded.
This time, the one who stopped him was Lin Miaoran.
The sheath of the Green Mountain Empty Rain Sword in her hand had been lost in the sudden surge of chaos from the zombies.
He then picked up his sword and walked over, "I'll help them retreat. You should hurry up and rest."
Seeing the look in Li Xiu's eyes, Lin Miaoran muttered to herself and understood what the other party wanted to say.
"There's a problem with that guy, so right now I'm not sure if Chu Yan received the message I sent him, so we absolutely cannot fall now. Otherwise, we'll have nothing left."
Hearing Lin Miaoran's words, Li Xiu and Yun Nichang both looked towards the distant sky.
A large cluster of purple clouds was condensed there.
Under normal circumstances, the clouds would give off a thick and soft feeling.
However, that cluster of purple clouds gave people a feeling that it was exceptionally demonic.
Even though they were so far away, anyone who saw it would feel their heart tighten and feel extremely uncomfortable.
A few hours ago, this cloud was the first to discover him.
At that time, Li Xiu, Su Yuqing, Shen Qing, and even Fu Rui had smoothly made their way towards the direction of the stairs beside the Blacksoul City.
Obviously, as time passed, the cultivators that landed on the city realized that although the city also had those strange clay statues, the thing that was truly worth him fighting for, was the palace at the other end of the stairs that made the Heaven's Edge Sect look at him in a different light.
After being clear of this point, all the cultivators in Blacksoul City started to gather at the stairs outside the city.
The advantage of this was that the dangers along the way were much less — they were all piled up to death by the group of cultivators passing by.
However, at this moment, that purple cloud suddenly appeared.
Anything that could happen in the Blacksoul City was worth paying close attention to.
The appearance of the purple cloud naturally attracted the attention of everyone.
However, no one had expected that the threat that would follow would be so overwhelming that it would instantly swallow everyone up without giving them a chance to even react.
Just when everyone discovered the purple colored cloud that had suddenly condensed, a tall and thin mysterious fellow in a black robe walked out from the cloud.
This fellow held a long cane in his hand.
He raised his crutch.
Without any warning, countless zombies started to emerge from the ground under everyone's feet.
At least twenty percent of the cultivators who had gathered here were dragged into the ground before they could even react. They no longer made a sound.
These zombies seemed to have been lying in ambush here.
Who would have thought that there would be such a terrifying object only a few inches below the surface of the ground?
And there were countless of them!
What was even more frightening was that these zombies were much stronger than the ones that had appeared in other countries.
Not only did they possess even more terrifying physiques, but these zombies could also use magical techniques.
As soon as the eight great elements were unleashed, virtually every cultivator present was shocked.
Many cultivators had looks of disbelief on their faces when they died.
Fortunately, due to the large number of surrounding buildings, after the early chaos, the cultivators at the scene gradually formed small circles to fight back.
The next few hours of fierce battle followed.
However, at the beginning of the battle, no one would have thought that there would be so many of these zombies.
The number of cultivators trapped in this area had decreased by perhaps seventy percent.
Furthermore, as the spiritual energy and physical strength in his body were depleted, the rate at which he fell continued to increase.
Based on the current situation, being able to last for another hour was already a miracle.
The only way was not to wait for reinforcements outside of corpse tide.
In this situation, no one dared to hope that someone outside the corpse tide would come to their rescue.
That's unrealistic.
For the cultivators currently trapped, the only way to save themselves was to knock down the purple clouds in the sky or kill the mysterious black robed man.
But after missing out on the initial opportunity, it was now impossible for anyone to do so.
Despair weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.
This kind of mood could even be seen in the eyes of some cultivators.
Furthermore, after hearing what Lin Miaoran had just said, everyone's hearts immediately sunk.
"These zombies are all different from what we've seen before." Yun Nichang said at this time.
Lin Miaoran's gaze slightly contracted as she nodded her head. "The feeling they give me is that every single one of them is very similar to the formation that was formed from clay before."
Yun Nichang immediately expressed her agreement.
These clay sculptures would restrain the corresponding elemental attributes according to the element that the cultivator had cast the spell.
However, after Chu Yan explained it to them, they already knew the reason behind it. The coloring on the clay sculpture's body, had formed an exquisite array.
Through the change in position, the clay figurines could make different changes.
However, at this time, these zombies were completely different.
Each and every one of them seemed to have maintained a part of the intelligence they had possessed when they were still alive. They coordinated with each other and completely defeated the cultivators who were already at a disadvantage.
"We can't stay here either. We have to try and charge out." Lin Miaoran looked at Li Xiu, "I will go and bring the people back now, you should hurry up and recover. After a while, I still need you."
At this time, Li Xiu did not persist, because he knew very well that showing off was useless. What Lin Miaoran had said right now was the most correct thing to do.
After leaving Yun Nichang and her group in the same place, Lin Miaoran pointed in the direction of Shen Qing and Su Jianyuan, and turned to Su Yuqing: "Senior Sister Su, help me out."
