Chapter 440: Purple Heaven Exorcises Evil

"It seems a battle is happening over there; are there Sanctuary Powerhouses fighting?" Standing beside Kelisi, Mo Lao looked at the pillar of light rising in the distance and spoke with a solemn expression.

"Sanctuary Powerhouses?" Hearing Mo Lao's words, Kelisi's expression turned serious all at once, and she looked toward that direction. "Why would Sanctuary Powerhouses be fighting in this place? How is their strength?"

"I am not clear on that either. The only thing I know now is that the opponent's strength is very strong, especially strong; I am no match for either one of them!" Mo Lao said, looking in that direction.

"Damn it, why are these skeletons getting more and more powerful, and why is their number increasing?" Kanglikeduo smashed a skeleton to pieces, caught his breath, and said.

"No, Boss, if this continues, we won't be able to hold on at all!" A mercenary approached Kanglikeduo and said.

"I didn't expect the enemy to have such methods. Did you send out the signal I told you to?" Kanglikeduo asked.

"It has already been sent, but it will take at least an hour for the people in the vicinity to rush here. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on until then!" the mercenary said with a bitter expression.

"Damn, this is really big trouble!" Kanglikeduo's expression was somewhat gloomy.

"Aiweier, can you still hold on?" Chen Jing punched a skeleton in front of her, sending it flying, and asked Aiweier beside her.

"No problem, I can still hold on for a while." Aiweier gasped for breath.

She was a mage by nature and was quite unaccustomed to physical labor like wielding a sword to hack at people. Fortunately, the Wind Holy Sword in her hand possessed powerful sharpness and had huge lethality against these bone frames, allowing her to easily slice through their bodies; otherwise, she might have already collapsed from exhaustion.

"Mo Lao, I must ask you to take action!" Seeing the battle situation gradually falling into crisis, Kelisi finally could not hold back and said to Mo Lao beside her.

Mo Lao nodded, and a staff appeared in his hand. Light flowed across this staff, and it was carved with countless intricate patterns. At the top of the staff was a fist-sized red magic core; the magic core emitted a faint light, and powerful magic power continuously radiated from it. The moment Mo Lao took out the staff, Kelisi immediately felt the fire-type Magic Element around her become active. This Mo Lao was clearly also a Sanctuary Powerhouse.

After Mo Lao took out the staff, he began to chant a spell. For this continuously increasing Undead Legion, it was better to use a large-scale attack to clear the field; otherwise, if he let the opponent continue to increase like this, even if Mo Lao was a Saint Domain Magus, he would not be able to endure it.

The originally clear sky suddenly turned gloomy, and a layer of dark, heavy clouds began to appear in the sky. The blood-red light occasionally leaking from the clouds gave one an even more ominous premonition.

Suddenly, a crimson ray of light tore through the clouds and smashed heavily into the group of skeletons in the rear. The red flames of light instantly soared into the sky, submerging a large area of skeletons. The skeletons submerged by the red light were instantly incinerated into nothingness by the high-temperature flames.

This ray of light was just the beginning. Immediately following, one after another, crimson rays of light emerged from the clouds and bombarded the rear of the skeleton legion heavily. The skeleton legion in the rear instantly suffered a devastating blow, and in the blink of an eye, more than half were wiped out. This move was precisely the famous fire-type Saint Domain Magic, Meteor Fire Rain.

Without subsequent support, the pressure on the mercenary group's side eased significantly, and they finally managed to stand their ground. However, many mercenaries still lost their lives in this battle; after all, facing such a large-scale siege of skeletons, it was almost impossible for no one to die.

Seeing this scene, the cloaked person could not help but grit his teeth. He had calculated everything, but he had not calculated that there would be a fire-type Saint Domain Magus beside Kelisi. One must know that fire-type Saint Domain Maguses are mostly experts at large-scale magic. Under such circumstances, wanting to use human-wave tactics to drag down the mercenary group guarding the caravan had already become an impossible task.

A piece of Saint Domain Magic wiped out most of the skeletons, yet Mo Lao's expression did not relax in the slightest. Although he had wiped out a large number of skeletons with one strike just now, the skeletons with stronger strength among them could definitely survive his attack; these were the true enemies.

Seeing that the annoying cannon fodder had been wiped out, Kanglikeduo's eyes lit up. Following a call to change formation, the battle array that was originally inclined toward defense suddenly transformed into a formidable attack-type array. This type of array was an array researched by a genius in the Iron Blood Mercenary Group; it is said that it referenced fragments of battlefields specifically for dealing with the Demon Race during the Millennium Holy War, and it had a relatively large restraining effect on the Demon Undead.

Just as the battle in Meiluo Canyon became increasingly scorching, the battle on Lingyun's side was also becoming increasingly intense.

The Thunder Longsword and the Black Knight Spear bombarded each other continuously, and the intense shockwaves blasted the land around the two into a mess. However, it could be clearly seen that the Death Knight had already fallen into a disadvantage; in every collision, his body would tremble, and the Undead Warhorse beneath him would let out a hiss.

"As expected of a Devil Knight, these bones are really hard!" Lingyun forced the Death Knight back with a sword strike and muttered in his heart.

One must know that every sword strike of his was imbued with powerful vibrational force, and he wanted to use this power to shatter the bone frame in front of him. However, after the Devil Knight turned into a skeleton, his entire set of bones had actually become much harder, which caused the effect of the vibrational force imbued on Lingyun's sword to be reduced quite a bit.

"Forget it, better to end this quickly. After all, there was a mishap with that Undead Archmage watching over there; with no one controlling the skeletons there, I don't know what kind of trouble will arise!" The Thunder Longsword in Lingyun's hand suddenly began to vibrate.

"Purple Heaven Sword Dragon!"

Lingyun waved his hand, and the Thunder Longsword in his hand instantly shattered, turning into a sky full of Thunder Sword Qi. Subsequently, the Sword Qi gathered, forming a three-foot-long dragon-shaped thunder in front of Lingyun. Although this dragon-shaped thunder was not as vast as the Sword Qi giant dragon formed by the Blue Sea Dragon Roar, its single-target destructive power was even more powerful.

After the Thunder Long Dragon appeared, Laonuo immediately hid far away; he felt a kind of aura specifically targeting him from this Thunder Long Dragon. The moment the Thunder Long Dragon appeared, the Death Knight opposite Lingyun trembled uncontrollably, and the skeleton horse beneath him let out an uneasy hiss, its four hooves continuously kicking the ground, appearing exceptionally restless.

Facing the threat of the Purple Heaven Sword Dragon, dense Death Qi suddenly rose from the Death Knight's body, crazily gathering toward the knight spear in his hand, as if he wanted to risk his life for one last gamble.

"Dragon Sword, Exorcise Evil!"

A cold light flashed in Lingyun's eyes, and the Thunder Long Dragon circling around him instantly turned into a purple stream of light, charging toward the direction of the Death Knight.

The skeleton warhorse beneath the Death Knight suddenly stomped the ground, and bone shield after bone shield rose from the ground, blocking in front of the purple stream of light. This time, the skeleton horse was exerting its full strength; however, in the span of just a few breaths, dozens of bone shields had risen from the ground. But in front of the purple stream of light, these bone shields were no different from paper, and they were pierced through directly.

Behind the shattered bone shields was the Death Knight, poised and ready. The gray-white knight spear collided heavily with the purple stream of light; the purple light instantly obscured his figure, and the sea of thunder transformed from the purple stream of light instantly submerged the Death Knight.

The moment the purple sea of thunder erupted, Lingyun turned into a stream of light and left this place. In his divine sense perception, the Death Knight had already turned to ash in the sea of thunder. Now he was worried about the situation on Chen Jing's side, because the auras of three Sanctuary Demon Undead had actually appeared in that place. Although their strength would be reduced after becoming undead, and Chen Jing and the other were also of no small strength, these three Sanctuary Demon Undead were merely a beginning; if their development was not curbed, the trouble would be huge by then.

After Lingyun left, Laonuo, who was hiding in the dark, dared to come out. He looked at the ashes on the ground, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes. Although he knew that Demon Undead would be very powerful, it was only in the battle just now that he truly witnessed the powerful aspects of these undead. If he could take these undead for his own use, then who else on this Continent could do anything to him?

As for the question of whether he could control these undead, it had been completely thrown to the back of his mind. After all, mages who cannot control the undead are all bottom-tier rookies. And as a Sanctuary Undead Archmage, he would absolutely not make such a mistake again!
