Chapter 145: Du En Flees in Haste, Evil Cultivators Enter the City (Seeking Subscriptions)

Amidst the whistling air, the arm-hammer came with fierce momentum.

Xiang Tao's expression turned stern instantly, and he prepared to respond.

Whoosh!

Flames suddenly ignited on his body.

Du En had cast the Flame-Ignition Art.

"Ugh..."

Because his set of second-tier peak-grade magical artifacts had long since been shattered to pieces, Xiang Tao revealed a pained look at this moment, forced to squeeze out his mana to extinguish the fire.

By personally killing lives at the corresponding stage, creating a connection in terms of life-count, and then burying them into this death-ground manifested by the divine ability, he accumulated their death-energy, death-intent, and death-calamity, using death to reflect life, strongly nourishing and highlighting Du En, the master of this divine ability.

After a long while.

The initial "Beginner" stage allows for the recovery of mana to a peak state; the subsequent "Novice" stage allows both mana and physical state to recover to their peak together.

Tang Yiping had, at any rate, been slightly forewarned, so he did not truly lose his head for a moment; instead, he gave a violent start and roared at the top of his lungs, waking up everyone in the Outer City Affairs Office.

"Too late."

Therefore, the current effect is a single item encompassing the previous two: recovering one's entire state!

As long as this divine ability is activated, one can clear away all injuries sustained and all external influences, fully restoring oneself to the optimal state of one's normal peak period!

Du En did not hesitate at this moment and immediately used it to clear away the sticky remnants of a certain evil art he had just received.

"You must have been exiled because you were squeezed out and targeted by Tang Yiping. This time, ah! This time only you are going back, you will definitely, you will definitely be by Tang Yiping, ahhhhh, stop! Stop for me! I beg you, stop!"

Southern Border City, Outer City Affairs Office.

This was not beyond Du En's expectations, because even though Xiang Tao was dead, the Evergreen Wood inside his body still retained vitality, struggling powerlessly in death.

The mana resisting it dissipated bit by bit, and death trotted closer step by step.

And now, just as the proficiency stages implied, "Beginner" and "Novice" were merely the start, a gradual entry; but by the time one reached "Skilled," one had already begun to familiarize oneself with the overall framework.

Just at this moment, the earth-cannon that had just swept past shattered directly, mixing with a new wave of flying sand and rocks, rushing at him from front and back, disrupting and blocking his divine sense and vision, while incidentally adding a pile of small wounds to his body.

But right now, the matter had reached a head!

Xiang Tao endured the pain of having his skull cracked and subconsciously retorted, but the next moment, a blade—the second-tier high-grade Sharp Metal Blade that Du En had obtained from Zhao Jinlin—had already pierced up from his chin.

Tang Yiping jerked his head around, twisting his neck one hundred and eighty degrees; relying on his Golden Core cultivation, he was unharmed, just staring blankly at the cracked jade wall.

With that, he fled north at top speed without looking back!

Vaguely, it was as if someone was whispering like this.

But, it was all useless...

"Du En! Du En!"

It was indeed a success; he had successfully recovered to his full state, back to his own peak.

It was indeed a bit too late.

The reason his arm could grow back rapidly before he died was also because of the Evergreen Wood.

It's coming, it's coming, He is coming!

Du En thought of that fleeting glimpse from before, the pitch-black anomaly with only a gray precursor; his skin couldn't help but twitch, various thoughts flashed through his mind, and various attempts were made rapidly.

"Only the divine ability is left, I can only try!"

Bang!

The attack coming from an oblique angle smashed this arm again, incidentally hammering hard against his head.

Then, a hand covered in earth-armor pressed directly onto his head, bit by bit, seemingly slow but actually extremely fast, pressing it toward the sharp edge of the blade.

But, it was not too late!

"Kill me! You won't have it easy either!"

Du En was calm and without hesitation; he pressed Xiang Tao's head through the tip of the blade, and the golden light spitting from it bloomed, shredding everything inside and causing Xiang Tao's seven orifices to flow with gore.

Clearing away the sticky remnants of the evil art could buy time and prevent Him from directly flashing and appearing in front of Du En.

They were terrified and uneasy, gathering in a panic, following Tang Yiping—who had finished sending out messages everywhere—as he hurried out of the Affairs Office, attempting to suppress and quell this sudden, abrupt, and completely unprepared evil cultivator riot.

Something has happened!

Just as this thought crossed his mind, he had already formed the hand seals.

They were originally just a small group of scattered stragglers, how could they dare to gather and attack the city now?

What a tough nut to crack!

A strong warning sign flashed in Xiang Tao's heart, but he was helpless, for he was already at the end of his rope; that arm which should have grown back in the blink of an eye had only just managed to grow a bit of bone and fascia by now.

In this instant, the world seemed to slow down for Xiang Tao; he had the heart to explode with power but was unable to turn the tide, so he could only transmit his voice to Du En through his slightly stabilized divine sense to beg for mercy.

Yet, the hair-raising feeling still lingered faintly, and as time stretched on, it was growing steadily and unyieldingly.

But despite the pain in his body, his reaction did not stop.

The remaining mana was squeezed and mobilized, at this moment actually forcibly resisting the magical artifact that was being driven to pierce through him, spitting out sharp metal spiritual light.

A bang sounded out.

"You think that by doing this you can..."

After ignoring the warning Du En had reported, Tang Yiping continued to handle his own affairs.

Then he stepped on the ground and sprinted north at full speed; as he ran, he leaped into the air, and the transformed Flying Yellow Sword flew out and grew larger, exploding with spiritual light in the form of collapsing the artifact's restrictions to boost his speed.

The evil cultivators have slaughtered their way into the city!

And the people in the outer city were completely unprepared; none of the various arrangements had time to be activated!

For a time, screams rose one after another, and all kinds of cruel, bloody, and twisted scenes were staged everywhere in the city as offerings to their great Lord!

"Quick, quick, quick! Enter emergency state, tsk! Follow me to meet the enemy!"

Du En had noticed this key point at the time and chose to kill Xiang Tao in that manner, and just now, he dared to act boldly and received a satisfying reward.

This divine ability, having reached the "familiar" stage, immediately surged with changes.

Something was quietly adhering to his body!

Instantly, a feeling of hair-raising horror, impossible to suppress, suddenly appeared and grew increasingly intense, completely unable to be normally restrained!

He did not hesitate at all; enduring the increasingly rampant feeling of hair-raising horror, he activated his divine ability, and a patch of dead, pitch-black, two-zhang-radius land of death appeared beneath his feet.

Accompanied by a loud boom, black smoke rose from the gate opening of the southern city wall, surging into the city as if alive, causing the originally clean and tidy city to begin to be stained with filth, which then rapidly expanded.

【Divine Ability: Burial of Death, Glory of Life (Familiar 0/50)】

Moreover, Du En, who should have been striking with a frontal arm hammer, had already dodged and vanished.

Therefore, despite the chill running down his spine, he still had the spare energy to scoop up the belongings that had appeared after Xiang Tao's death and scattered all around.

Boom!

Time returns to before.

Feeling new pain surge forth and savoring the rapid approach of death, Xiang Tao finally could not help but scream and cry out in alarm.

"Ah..."

"Damn it..."

Puchi!

One corpse, two counts.

Because, He had officially seen Du En.

Oh no!

The land of death changed from a radius of two zhang to four zhang, and all sorts of related profound insights flooded into his heart, diluting that constantly protruding and expanding feeling of hair-raising horror.

Suddenly.

It was also at this moment that the evil cultivator's scheme surfaced!

As long as I don't die, as long as I can not die, everything is for the sake of not dying... ah ah ah ah ah!

Crack!

Bang!

A corner of the boundary was broken once again!

He stepped into the boundary and pursued relentlessly, eyes locked on the target.

He took out the Demon Bone Spade, dug a pit with extreme speed, and then hurriedly buried the corpse inside.

What exactly is the Outpost Camp doing? How, uh, it seems, I overlooked it...

Tang Yiping's heart was very turbulent, but there was no time to ponder further now; he caught the evil cultivator who was committing the crime and began to suppress them.
