"Great Elder, watch out!"
"Oh no, it’s an array trap!"
The people on the city wall exclaid.
No one expected that the Demon Clan and Yellow Springs Sect would set up an array trap on the path of the Great Elder.
The unsuspecting Great Elder Zheng Jingming was instantly thrown into a great crisis.
But the Great Elder, having road the Cultivation Realm for many years, had seen all sorts of storms.
As soon as he was enveloped by the array, he instinctively used the Yin Light Shield, wrapping himself tightly in a thick layer of Spiritual Essence Light Shield.
Nevertheless, he felt his vision blackening, his head dizzy, and his thoughts slowing considerably.
Around him, gusts of Yin Wind cut him off from the outside world completely.
’It’s an array targeting the Divine Soul!’
The thought flashed through the Great Elder’s mind as he unleashed a torrent of Spiritual Essence, turning it into fierce Magic to attack the array.
The array began to shake violently.
The Great Elder steadied himself, confident that given four or five seconds, he could forcefully break the confusion array.
From the outside, people saw through the translucent array that the Great Elder stopped in place after encountering the trap.
Beside him in the void, a visible ripple appeared.
A black-robed, masked figure erged, rushing towards the Great Elder with the force of thunder!
The figure’s presence was fierce, with claw-like hands seemingly made of tal, glowing with a dark golden cold light, suggesting the power of these claws if they struck a person.
This black-robed, masked figure appeared to be a Body Cultivator.
Judging by his montum, he was clearly much stronger than Jin Tingfeng!
The Great Elder seed about to be attacked by the black-robed figure.
At the crucial mont, Lou Yi stepped forward, blocking the black-robed figure.
’Whoosh!’
Lou Yi’s avatar, shimring with translucent red light, threw a fierce punch.
But as soon as they clashed, Lou Yi’s expression changed.
He heard the crack of his fist bones, followed by sharp pain that felt like he had hit a mountain.
The opponent’s strength was astonishing, and the hardness of his body was extraordinary, definitely reaching or even surpassing the Perfection stage of Dao Foundation Body Cultivator!
But Lou Yi could not retreat; if he did, the Great Elder would be in danger!
He endured the pain, trying to stall the black-robed figure, buying as much ti as possible.
When it rains, it pours.
Another black-gray shadow silently traversed the void, rapidly approaching the Great Elder, a frightening assassin known as the Nether Shadow Wolf.
"Wave Surge."
Lou Yi threw another punch, sending waves of red energy sweeping in all directions, striving to protect the space around the Great Elder.
The mysterious black-robed figure and the Nether Shadow Wolf, relying on their cultivation much higher than Lou Yi’s avatar, violently broke through the waves, swiftly approaching Lou Yi.
"Get out of the way!"
The two powerful figures simultaneously struck, trying to kill or drive Lou Yi back to reach the Great Elder.
But how could Lou Yi let them have their way?
"Soul Devouring!"
Ignoring the limits of his body’s endurance, he burned his Qi-Blood, gritting his teeth to forcibly clash with the black-robed figure and the Nether Shadow Wolf.
The sound of cracking continually echoed.
In less than a single second, Lou Yi’s body exploded in dozens of places, flesh and bones shattered, turning him almost into a blood-covered figure!
"Red Hero!"
The onlookers on the city wall felt their hearts in their throats.
Could Red Hero hold off these two formidable foes?
"Courting death!"
Seeing Lou Yi, though overmatched, still recklessly blocking his path, the black-robed figure was furious.
His dark golden hands unveiled intricate Dao patterns, turning pitch black with wisps of white smoke appearing.
’Rip!’
Lou Yi’s right arm was brutally torn off by the black-robed figure, blood splattering!
’Pugh!’
The Nether Shadow Wolf’s claw also severed Lou Yi’s left leg completely.
Yet, Lou Yi did not retreat a step.
Without his right arm, he used his left. Without his left leg, he leveraged his right, even his head, and teeth.
By the second second, he had lost a hand and leg, with his chest smashed open, a tragic sight.
By the third second.
The black-robed figure’s pitch-black hardened hands slashed across Lou Yi’s neck, nearly severing it, leaving his head dangling.
Even Lou Yi’s tilted head had incomplete features; one eye was exploded, nose bridge shattered, ears to be found nowhere.
Now, Lou Yi was unrecognizable, like a lump of red at blocking the Great Elder, yet still refusing to retreat.
"Red Hero!"
"Red Hero!!"
Everyone on the city wall was imnsely stunned, watching Lou Yi fight in awe.
Many female disciples turned their heads, tears streaming down their faces, and even the rough man Jin Tingfeng had red eyes.
’Boom!’
By the fourth second, the stubborn mass of flesh could no longer hold on, exploding into countless pieces and blood showering down.
"No!!"
At that mont, nearly all of the Human Race let out an agonized roar.
Before their eyes, Red Hero had spent his last drop of blood, fallen in battle!
But Red Hero had fulfilled his purpose.
The Great Elder finally broke through the array, his aura soaring instantly.
"Die!"
In a powerful wave of Spiritual Essence, a black hand descended boldly, striking the black-robed figure and Nether Shadow Wolf away.
Having overused his strength, the Great Elder’s face turned pale, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
His eyes, however, showed fierce killing intent.
Even today, at the cost of his life, he wanted to kill one or two opponents.
"Old Zheng, co back, don’t take Red Hero’s intentions for granted..."
As if guessing the Great Elder’s intent to perish together, Chen Changqing’s urgent voice ca through.
The Great Elder sighed softly, eventually turning back into the city.
On the city wall, a deep silence prevailed as everyone looked far away, their expressions tinged with sadness.
After a mont, sobbing sounds began to erge from various corners.
"Red Hero sacrificed himself."
"Red Hero died for our Zhao Kingdom."
"He also saved my life," the Great Elder said in contemplation.
"He’s truly dead..."
Xin Ziqi was stunned, feeling sothing she’d never felt before.
There are many powerful people, but soone willing to die for others she had never seen!
Previously, Red Hero fought for the people, holding high status in Xin Ziqi’s heart, and now he died for the people...
At this mont, Fu Weiyi, the prodigy of Taiyi Sect, had also managed to escape, flying toward Huai City’s city walls.
But reaching the city, his expression suddenly changed, looking sowhat displeased.
"What’s the aning?"
The City Defense Array had shut him out, refusing him entry.
"Leave, you are not welco here," the Great Elder coldly stated.
He wasn’t a fool; he already saw that Fu Weiyi had issues.
Though lacking evidence, such coincidences don’t exist in this world.
Of course, he had considered acting against Fu Weiyi.
However, Fu Weiyi’s background was too strong, and the Corpse-Driving Sect could no longer endure further upheaval.
"Great Elder Zheng, I think there might be so misunderstanding," Fu Weiyi explained for a long ti.
Finding that the people on the city wall remained unmoved, he could only ’dejectedly’ turn away.
But after turning, a cold smile surfaced on his face.
"Fools, dying for others, is it worthwhile?"
"Young Master, the plan failed, a pity.
If Huai City had fallen, with so many living souls, we might have been able to forge the array in one go," another person’s voice transmitted.
"No matter, there are many city walls in Zhao Kingdom; we will find an opportunity," Fu Weiyi said indifferently.
...
Very soon, the news of Red Hero’s death spread like the wind throughout Zhao Kingdom, causing great turmoil dostically.
"Red Hero, he is our hero!" Many people mourned Red Hero, preparing to erect monunts and shrines for him.
"Impossible! Red Hero can’t die that easily!" Many refused to believe, especially the locals of Huai City, thinking Red Hero wouldn’t die so simply.
They didn’t know Red Hero was rely a regenerable avatar.
The main body was now in a small world, searching for his destined opportunity.
