Chapter 1054: Chapter 1054: Night Massacre

Si Kong Zun relentlessly pursued, while Ling Xiao and his companions desperately fled.

Near Northern Desert City, they encountered no interception from the Black Crow Army.

However, Ling Xiao was anything but relieved; on the contrary, he was extremely tense.

The only reason the Black Crow Army might have opened up distance, he surmised, was that they were preparing to shoot arrows.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

In the darkness of night, the sky was pierced by the whistling of rockets, which then enveloped the returning troops to Northern Desert City and the tens of thousands of guards from Northern Desert Pass like a rain of fire.

Even in the deep night, Ling Xiao could see the terrifying scene.

The rockets blotted out the sky, as if the Red Sun was shattering and falling at the end of the world.

Fear enveloped the entire land!

Cries of dying echoed incessantly!

Beside Ling Xiao, soldiers fell one after one, yet he was powerless; his only option was to activate his Crimson Sun Feather Robe and save whoever he could.

Arrows that touched the Crimson Sun Feather Robe melted and vanished instantly.

To onlookers, he seemed engulfed in flames after being struck by rockets, thus he was unlikely the primary target, which ironically provided the best cover.

The fiery assault lasted a full three minutes before ceasing.

Ling Xiao extinguished his Crimson Sun Feather Robe and, seeing nearly half his soldiers gone, his heart grew even colder.

"Si Kong Zun! This is all that bastard’s doing; I, Ling Xiao, swear not to rest until I’ve killed him!"

The ones who had died were mostly valiant men and women who had served their country with passion.

Yet they had been betrayed by their own Emperor on the battlefield, becoming political scapegoats.

This was something Ling Xiao could not tolerate.

Once, he had his doubts about aiding Feng Yingshan.

But now, he was resolute; the Emperor of the Ice Phoenix Clan was a beast without a shred of humanity or conscience.

If this person remained in power, more innocents would surely be sacrificed.

He was not a hero.

But neither could he keep a smiling face after being manipulated like this.

This grudge was now firmly established.

"Woo~~ woo~~"

After a round of fiery rain, the charge horns of the Black Crow Empire sounded, echoing through the universe.

Then came the dark mass of cavalry, charging over like a covering the sky and land.

For most martial artists, the night meant little; by concentrating inner strength in their eyes, they could see clearly in the pitch black.

Thus, night battles were not uncommon in the Mysterious World.

As the wind blew, the scent of blood and char filled the air. Ling Xiao and Leng Mei fought as they continued their desperate flight toward Northern Desert City.

Once inside the city, they would be temporarily safe.

However, the charging speed of the Black Crow Beasts was too fast, and their ranks were already injured.

Thus, screams of agony rose again.

If they can’t shoot you dead,

they’ll finish you with the blade.

That’s the ruthlessness of the Black Crow Army; they never give you a moment to breathe!

Ling Xiao drew his Golden Crow Sword, his cold eyes locked onto the leading Black Crow knights, and suddenly thrust out his sword.

"Die!"

The charging Black Crow knights felt Ling Xiao’s cold murderous intent, but caught in their ferocious attack, why would they care about a seemingly half-dead man engulfed in flames?

Their long spears quivered and thrust straight at Ling Xiao.

Crimson Sun Cone!

The light of the Crimson Sun suddenly appeared in the night!

Blazing and boiling!

Full of rage and fighting spirit!

The two leading knights almost simultaneously fell to the ground, their bodies starting to burn.

Shadow Cone!

Ling Xiao’s figure gradually vanished from everyone’s sight, and with his disappearance, the cold Shadow Cone became a life-taking weapon.

Two more knights were pierced through their bodies and fell off their Black Crow Beasts dead.

Yet the battle was not over.

Ling Xiao and Leng Mei were surrounded.

Because the two of them were holding the rear to allow the soldiers to escape,

Ling Xiao did not regret it.

Leng Mei did not regret it either.

In fact, they didn’t even have the time to regret, as their eyes were filled only with the enemy and the battle.

More knights charged at Ling Xiao simultaneously, as many as a dozen. Their spear tips, lined up against Ling Xiao, condensed power much greater than that of a single knight.

"Kill!"

The cry shook the heavens, and the spear tips glistened with cold light in the darkness, emanating gun light over a foot long.

If Ling Xiao were to be hit by these dozen long spears, not only would he die, but he would definitely die without a complete corpse.

However, he was not one to wait for death.

Light and Shadow Divine Cone!

An even more powerful move was unleashed.

Black and white became the knights’ nightmare.

Their hearts twitched, wanting to stop the charge, but it was already too late.

Boom!

Black and white colors exploded among these dozen knights, pulling everyone in, and then blasting them into pieces.

One sword move, over a dozen men dead, and these men were all Transcendent or even Heavenly Man Realm knights.

Ling Xiao did not waver at all.

It was as if he was killing a herd of livestock.

Because that is what the battlefield is. Here, there is no right or wrong, no justice or fairness, only slaughter!

Life here is as cheap as dirt.

Being alive means victory!

Being dead means permanent failure!

"Let’s go!"

Seeing that most people had already retreated into Northern Desert City, Ling Xiao called out to Leng Mei and soared into the air.

At this moment, no mount could compare to the speed of body movement techniques.

The function of a mount lies in its endurance, not in short sprints.

For the strong, it is naturally a bit faster to rely on their own body movement techniques.

The two of them, with their swords, were invincible.

The Black Crow Army that tried to intercept them along the way, all died under their swords.

Not one could withstand a single move.

Plum blossoms danced with the Red Sun.

Yet, it became the Black Crow Army’s nightmare.

At this time, Ling Xiao and Leng Mei were like gods of slaughter on the battlefield, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, God blocks and kills God!

The defensive formation of Northern Desert City had already been activated, and the counterattack had already begun.

As the Black Crow Army approached, they would encounter attacks, completely unable to withstand that kind of power.

At the city gate,

Li Ruguang stood on one side, Zhang Yu Fei on the other.

Any Black Crow soldier who attempted to seize the opportunity to rush into the city would be shot and killed by these two using sharp arrows.

What they were now waiting for, was the arrival of Ling Xiao and Leng Mei.

Although the Black Crow Army was brave, the defense formation upgraded and modified by Ling Xiao was even more terrifying.

So that within a hundred meters of Northern Desert City, it had almost become a forbidden area.

Any Black Crow soldier who entered here, almost none could leave alive.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling Xiao and Leng Mei finally reached near the city gate.

"Close the city gate!"

As the huge roaring sound erupted, the city gate was heavily closed.

"Has General Ji Ning returned?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"He has already returned. Lan Yu’er, Dai Yuling, and Dai Yaoling, the three young ladies, are currently helping him detoxify."

Someone promptly reported.

"Good, with the three of them there, there shouldn’t be a problem."

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

In terms of alchemy, he was certainly stronger than those three, but when it came to treatment, those three were definitely better than Ling Xiao.
