Chapter 1444 That Vow
Hong Ying felt the powerful aura rushing toward her and froze in place.
“Captain Miao…”
“As your seniors, we can’t just watch you youngsters die before us.” Miao Su turned back with a slight smile and said, “I can handle these three fire wolves by myself now… it would be too much of a waste if you sacrificed yourselves for this.”
As her words fell, Miao Su’s figure moved like a wandering soul, darting through the pale purple domain straight toward the three fire wolves!
The scythe cut through the air, making a piercing boom. A trail like a purple moon split the ground, instantly severing the front limbs of one of the fire wolves. Miao Su’s eyes narrowed slightly, releasing a terrifying killing intent!
In excruciating pain, that fire wolf howled and nearly collapsed on the spot. The other two rushed out simultaneously, transforming into two slender lines of fire, engaging in battle with Miao Su!
With the enhancement of “Ghost God’s Call,” Miao Su, also at the “Klein” level, had an aura no weaker than the three wolves combined. Wielding her scythe, countless purple moon trails interwove into a storm, firmly suppressing their movements.
“Captain Miao is so strong…” Molly murmured as she watched the slender figure subduing the three wolves alone, admiration appearing in her eyes.
“Let’s go help.”
Hong Ying tapped her spear, rose-colored flames once again weaving into feathered garments as she rushed toward the last fire wolf whose front limbs had been cut off. Miao Su’s slash had directly crippled most of its mobility, and it was now circling outside the purple moon storm, seemingly trying to bypass them and charge toward Chennan Pass.
Hong Ying’s spear and Molly’s broadsword struck simultaneously, forcibly restraining its movement. Meanwhile, a painful howl came from the distance as a fire wolf covered in wounds was ejected from the purple moon storm, crashing heavily to the ground, no longer breathing.
After defeating one fire wolf while fighting two, Miao Su took advantage of the “Ghost God’s Call” effect to quickly kill the remaining two. Crimson blood seeped through the bandages on her forearm, dripping onto the ground.
But at this moment, Miao Su seemed completely unaware of the pain. After wiping the blood from her scythe, she charged toward other giant beasts fighting with the Night Watchers!
The three led by Hong Ying followed closely behind.
With Miao Su’s purple moon storm clearing the path ahead, Hong Ying lost count of how many giant beasts she had killed. In this seemingly endless beast tide, they were like a pillar, firmly blocking the way outside the city wall.
And like this “pillar,” there were at least a dozen more in front of Chennan Pass.
The dark red wall formed by a hundred Night Watchers in front of Chennan Pass blocked nearly ninety percent of the beast tide, but a small number of severely wounded beasts escaped or directly broke through the blockade with brute force, arriving at the outer wall. Several giant snakes climbed up the towering city wall, seemingly trying to cross this defense line directly and rush into the pass.
Dense artillery fire poured down from the top of the outer wall. Those stationed here were mostly ordinary people like the old military doctor, without forbidden domains or realms. They had only two means to resist these giant beasts.
One was hot weapons, the other was their flesh and blood.
But for these “Klein” level giant beasts, ordinary bullets had minimal effect. The hail of gunfire only barely slowed their speed, and they would soon reach the top of the wall.
At this moment, a one-legged figure suddenly threw away the metal frame in his hand, gripping a straight sword with one hand while taking out an emblem from his chest with the other, forcefully stabbing it into his body.
“Li Zhengzhi!” the old military doctor called out his name when he saw this.
“Old man, I told you, just stay behind me!”
Li Zhengzhi grinned, pulling the “Ghost God’s Call” out of his body. He flicked it hard with his thumb, and the shining emblem flew high into the air. The dim sunlight shone on the small text on the back of the emblem, gleaming brightly.
He leaped down from the top of the outer wall!
The howling wind rushed past his ears as he, missing one foot, fell slightly askew.
At the same time, on his falling trajectory, a giant snake quickly opened its bloody mouth.
Li Zhengzhi let out a low growl. The straight sword at his waist suddenly unsheathed, and as his body fell into the giant snake’s mouth, a brilliant sword light bloomed, directly piercing through from the snake’s mouth. Gastric juices and fresh blood enveloped his body, unbearably foul.
Li Zhengzhi paid no attention to this. He laughed loudly and continued to fall while gripping his sword.
This sword light that had killed one giant snake instantly attracted the attention of the other climbing snakes. They swarmed toward Li Zhengzhi’s falling direction, releasing several “Klein” level pressures.
Li Zhengzhi kicked off the vertical outer wall surface with his single leg, slightly altering his falling direction to avoid the simultaneous bites of two giant snakes. Then he swung his sword, leaving a ferocious cut on one snake’s body before reversing his grip to stab the entire sword into another snake’s vital spot.
The snake scales caught the sword blade, and then a thick snake tail struck Li Zhengzhi’s back. He lost his balance completely, and the sword handle slipped from his grasp.
On the outer wall, pairs of snake eyes emitted an eerie green light. Li Zhengzhi felt his body become as heavy as if filled with lead, unable to summon even a trace of mental power. His once agile figure fell like a statue under the gaze of the snakes.
Although Li Zhengzhi’s strength was not weak with the enhancement of “Ghost God’s Call,” he was still powerless against so many giant snakes attacking at once.
Several bloody mouths opened below, but far from despair, Li Zhengzhi’s smile grew even brighter. His fingertips gently pulled the wire hidden in his sleeve, revealing blocks of his specially made explosives under his cloak.
“Even if I die, I’ll blast out a few of your teeth, you beasts!” Li Zhengzhi laughed loudly.
Boom——!!
Several balls of scorching fire exploded on the outer wall surface, instantly engulfing Li Zhengzhi’s body. The giant snakes that had opened their mouths were directly burned black, while the terrifying concussive force instantly swept away a group of giant snakes, causing them to fall to the battlefield below.
At the top of the outer wall, the old military doctor and other ordinary personnel who had witnessed all this trembled slightly, falling into silence…
Clink.
The tossed emblem fell on the edge of the outer wall, gently turning over before quietly lying on the ground like a small tombstone.
On the upward-facing side of the emblem were several small lines of text. A medical staff picked it up, carefully discerning its content.
“If darkness finally descends,
I shall stand before tens of thousands,
Sword facing the abyss,
Blood dyeing the sky…”
She gazed at the dark red wall fighting bloodily outside Chennan Pass, standing motionless like a statue.
