Gui Quan shook his head slightly as his gaze landed on Mei Changge once again.
“Blessed Land master in Xiangyang City, come out and face me!”
Gui Quan’s tone was calm as he soared into the air and said to Mei Changge, who was on the city wall.
As he spoke, Gui Quan raised his left hand, and a blood-red, tail-like Blood Robe extended into the Crimson Sun Vigil Array created by the Golden Crow Guards.
Sssss.
Sssss.
In an instant, the high temperature caused charred patches to appear on this blood-red tail as if it had been roasted.
However, his strength did not decrease, and his speed remained extremely fast.
“How dare you!”
Xu Chu’s expression changed. He also sensed the presence of an intruder in the array. He turned around and saw that the charred tail was heading directly for him.
No…
It was heading toward the Transcendent that Xu Chu was about to approach.
“Boss!”
When Old Bai saw the tail, he revealed a look of joy and exclaimed.
Old Bai believed that it would be killed by Xu Chu within the array. After all, the high temperature had caused its Blood Robe to go limp, and the strange bell had stopped ringing at some point.
Xu Chu tried to stop the charred tail but to no avail.
The speed was too fast.
“Zhong Kang!”
At that moment, a voice sounded. Then, Mei Changge landed beside Xu Chu.
“Since you’re here, don’t leave.”
Mei Changge’s voice was calm but carried an attitude that couldn’t be refused.
The moment he saw the Level 5 Transcendent make a move, he descended to Xu Chu’s side. He also noticed that Gui Quan was targeting the Transcendent Ghoul within the Crimson Sun Vigil Formation.
A fire lotus flower appeared in Mei Changge’s left hand. Then, he felt waves of power begin to gather towards the fire lotus flower.
“This is…”
Mei Changge’s eyes revealed a surprised expression. Then, he threw the fire lotus flower out.
Boom!
It instantly exploded and shattered the charred tail.
This also made the Ghoul reveal a despairing expression.
Old Bai gazed at its boss’s tail that had been blown off by the flames and at the Blood Robe on his back. Despair overcame its face.
It had been careless. It did not expect that the army formed by the soldiers would cause its Blood Robe to lose its strength as if it had been born to restrain it.
The Golden Crow Guards had transformed from Mystic Yang soldiers to begin with. The power that the Golden Crow Guards grasped was full of Yang energy.
As for the Ghouls, they devoured corpses and specters, accumulating too much Yin energy in their bodies. When they encountered the Golden Crow Guards, it was as if they had encountered their nemesis.
Most importantly, it was because the Crimson Sun Purgatory had planted Firethorn Grass in the bodies of these Ghouls in the array.
“How dare you!”
Seeing that one of his Blood Robes was instantly blown up by Mei Changge, Gui Quan revealed a furious expression.
“Come here if you dare!”
Mei Changge extended his finger and hooked it towards Gui Quan. His face was filled with fighting spirit.
He was confident in dealing with the Level 5 Transcendent Ghoul.
It wasn’t that his strength had broken through to Transcendent Level 5, but rather that he had noticed he was experiencing an amplification effect while standing within the Crimson Sun Vigil formed by the Golden Crow Guards. Moreover, the effect was not weak.
With the enhancement of the White Jade Spirit Body and the power of Resplendent Star Thrust, he might be able to deal with the Level 5 Transcendent Ghoul.
“Zhong Kang, deal with him.”
Mei Changge said to Xu Chu before looking at Gui Quan again.
“The royal family of the Ghoul race? It seems you’re very interested in this stargate. ”
Mei Changge’s tone was calm as he stood in the air and said to Gui Quan.
“Boss, save me!”
At that moment, there was a cry and soon after, there was no more movement.
“All settled, my lord.”
Xu Chu held his long, bloody saber with a solemn expression as he stared at
Gui Quan.
Clap! Clap!
“Well done! You’re the first person who dares to kill my subordinates in front of me.”
Gui Quan was so angry that he burst into laughter.
“Boss, kill him. Once we kill him, we might be able to breed a Ghoul royalty!”
San Ye, who stood beside Gui Quan, said with interest.
The reproduction of the Ghoul royal family could only be sustained by capturing members of other races. Furthermore, if the Ghouls were nurtured within the bodies of powerful creatures, there was a higher likelihood of the Ghoul royalty emerging.
The distinction between regular Ghouls and a Ghoul royal family lay in the presence of the Blood Robe behind them.
For instance, Gui Quan was royalty.
This tail seemed to indicate a unit of measure, but no one knew what the Blood Robe actually looked like.
The natural bloodline was irreplaceable, and trying to compensate for it in the future would come at a great cost.
“Attack!”
Gui Quan let out an explosive roar. Following that, two tails extended out from his back once again.
The tails were blood-red, but they were not made of flesh. Instead, they seemed to be formed by countless blood vessels.
“Zhong Kang, I’ll leave the other Transcendent to you!”
Mei Changge’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit as he said to Xu Chu.
“Don’t worry, my lord. I’ll deal with it!”
Xu Chu chuckled and waved the bone saber in his hand. He had yet to use his full strength to deal with those Ghouls.
With the Crimson Sun Vigil in place, dealing with the Ghouls was like removing weeds from the roadside—it required minimal effort.
At that moment, a large number of people had gathered on the city wall of Xiangyang.
Among these people, there were soldiers of the Yue army, martial artists, and some bold commoners who stood on the city wall and watched the battles below.
As for Yue Fei and Guo Jing, they had somehow dealt with the two half-step Transcendents and seemed to be seriously injured.
In the end, they could only watch the intense battles outside Xiangyang City. “Is that the true power of the Golden Crow Guards?!”
When Yue Fei saw that the Golden Crow Guards eliminating the Ghouls under Xu Chu’s lead, his eyes revealed surprise and envy.
It was worth noting that an average Ghoul would typically require three to five Yue soldiers to handle. In contrast, Xu Chu led fewer than 5,000 Golden Crow Guards and was able to eliminate at least three Ghouls each.
“Brother Yue, the Ghoul mentioned the Blessed Land master. Do vou think he is talking about Lord Mei?”
A Yue soldier supported Guo Jing while the latter asked Yue Fei curiously.
“I think so, but I’m not sure if we can see the Transcendent divine arts they’re talking about.”
Yue Fei’s eyes were filled with anticipation. The two of them were looking forward to the so-called Transcendent divine arts.
As for the Ghouls named Shun and Dia, they had already forgotten about them.
Meanwhile, some martial artists on the city wall were also watching the battle outside the city with curiosity.
“Do you think those people are really from the Great Song? How can they be so strong?”
“Could it be that they’re from a hidden family? Or are they also a foreign race?”
Some martial artists said with ill intentions.
“No, I’ve seen those two in the Guo Residence.”
“That’s right, the young master and his guard. I didn’t expect the young master to also be a Grandmaster!”
There were several discussions among the martial artists.
Some individuals speculated that Mei Changge and Xu Chu might belong to a foreign race similar to the Ghouls, while others believed they were members of a hidden family.
On the other hand, the commoners had only one opinion of Mei Changge and
Xu Chu.
“The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals have descended!”
Yes, the commoners in the city had encountered people from the martial world in the past, but they couldn’t help but notice a distinct temperament and attitude from the Golden Crow Guards.
It matched the thoughts of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals in their hearts. “The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals have descended to save Xiangyang City!” In just a moment, the news spread among the people in Xiangyang City.
It spread faster than anything else.
Mei Changge did not care that more and more people were gathering on the city wall. He held a spear in his hand.
“Demon Tail Attack!”
At that moment, Gui Quan controlled his Blood Robe to attack Mei Changge. He had also donned a pair of gloves.
“Is that… a treasure?”
Mei Changge’s eyes lit up as he looked at the gloves on Gui Quan’s hands.
The gloves were light red and had a distinctive half-glove appearance, emitting a unique energy fluctuation..
