Everything was orderly, and the situation seemed promising. However, suddenly, a booming sound came from afar.
It was like the sonic boom produced by a rapidly flying missile.
The Corpse Puppet and the unadvanced Fang Yuqiong immediately looked up, only to see a pitch-black shadow sweeping in from the distant surge of demonic energy, heading straight for the front lines of the army.
“It’s coming…”
The Corpse Puppet murmured, then floated up. He waved a hand, conjuring a whirlwind that directed itself at the shadow.
“Boom.”
At the moment of contact between the whirlwind and the shadow, the whirlwind instantly dissipated, and the shadow also lost its momentum under the Corpse Puppet's power, crashing straight down to the ground.
As they got closer, the Corpse Puppet finally saw the true form of the shadow.
It was a giant heavy sword, about ten meters long, engraved with intricate patterns and a blood-red blade as if it had been drenched in blood.
Seeing this, the Corpse Puppet squinted his eyes. Before he could react further, another whistling sound rushed from the sky.
The Corpse Puppet looked up and simultaneously waved his hand as if to repeat his previous action. However, along with the roaring whirlwind, it met the shadow again, but the whirlwind collapsed in an instant while the shadow maintained its speed.
It plummeted like a cannonball, crashing right beside the giant sword.
In a flash, the ground heaved, a dust storm erupted, and amidst the swirling dust, the Corpse Puppet faintly heard a disdainful sneer. The next moment, a tall figure came charging out from the dust like a drumbeat!
“Die!!!”
A high-pitched voice in the demon realm language emanated from the figure, as it raised the heavy sword and then swung it down fiercely. A dark red sword light shot out in an instant, landing right above the army.
“Boom!”
The Corpse Puppet gathered all his strength and managed to intercept the sword light before it caused any casualties. However, upon contact, the Corpse Puppet's expression changed drastically.
The strength of the incoming foe was no less than his own…
Fang Yuqiong looked towards the only demonic creature that had appeared ahead.
It stood about fifteen meters tall, covered in solid heavy armor, with a smooth head bearing a single eye, with two tusks protruding from its lip on the top and bottom.
It looked truly ugly…
Fang Yuqiong could only sigh, when suddenly, the explosion rang out; the Corpse Puppet's body collided with the sword light, causing it to shatter, and the Corpse Puppet staggered back three steps.
The earlier call for "all-out attack" was instantly swallowed back down by Fang Yuqiong.
The power was too overwhelming…
This was not an opponent that a normal army could handle!
A simple judgment flashed through Fang Yuqiong's mind. He pushed aside the soldiers gathered around the Exchange Stone Pillar and pressed one hand against it.
Quickly advance, enhance his strength; only then could he participate in the battle between the cyclops and the Corpse Puppet!
However, suddenly a roar came from afar.
“Be careful! Get out of the way!”
Fang Yuqiong was startled. He did not heed the Corpse Puppet's warning; instead, his hand moved even faster. In an instant, a white halo flashed, and his figure vanished.
The next second, a massive shadow charged straight from the distance. The combination of the heavy armor and the muscular body made the cyclops seem like an indestructible armored truck.
It charged recklessly, trampling all soldiers in its path into mush, creating a bloody path until it reached the Exchange Stone Pillar, swinging its giant sword and reducing the soldiers who hadn’t evacuated in time to nothing but debris. Finally, it stopped and turned to the Corpse Puppet, pulling a grim smile.
“The first one…”
The deep, booming voice emerged from the giant’s mouth, and the Corpse Puppet felt a heaviness in his heart.
He had already guessed the giant’s intention.
With the first one, there would naturally be a second, a third, and countless more…
