Chapter 1735 - 1736: Beheading
In an instant, Yang Fei led the group, charging towards the Earth Treasury Fallen One within two to three hundred meters.
Countless undead skeletons and zombies lay behind them, trampled and submerged by the tidal wave of the undead army.
The Earth Treasury Fallen One seemed to detect Yang Fei's intentions; with his murmured chants, more undead and warriors blocked the way ahead.
However, Yang Fei and the Sword Emperor wielded their longswords with unstoppable force, cutting through everything in their path.
In the squad, everyone was among the strongest martial artists, their abundant Qi-Blood having a strong restraining effect on the undead.
From above, the essence and Qi-Blood of everyone formed a hexagram, shooting straight up into the sky.
This terrifying hexagram looked as if it was drawn with a ruler.
This was because each warrior held their position, continuously charging towards the Earth Treasury Fallen One.
The Earth Treasury Fallen One was clearly very intelligent. Seeing the squad's fierce approach, he immediately had his undead guardians retreat.
Yet more undead swarmed frantically towards Yang Fei and his team.
Seeing the Earth Treasury Fallen One retreat, Yang Fei sneered and shouted to Xue Mingtai.
"Brother Mingtai, that bald-headed strong one is retreating, let's not let him get away."
Xue Mingtai nodded: "What good plan do you have?"
Yang Fei snorted: "Don't worry, he can't run. Not running just now, retreating now, is it not too late?"
As he spoke, suddenly the sound of hooves was like thunder as countless undead armies parted.
A line of black skeleton knights on bone horses charged at them like a javelin, sounding like thunder, and their momentum was unbeatable.
Seeing the momentum of these cavalries, Xue Mingtai and Yang Fei felt a bit apprehensive.
These black skeletons were clearly invincible warriors in their lifetime, and only samurai in the army could possess such elite and terrifying killing intent.
Within moments, the black skeleton knights were storming into Yang Fei's formation with unstoppable force.
If they broke through the defense circle, many strong warriors would surely fall into a chaotic battle on their own.
Although Yang Fei and the others could protect themselves, some of the weaker martial artists would inevitably be swallowed by the undead army.
Yang Fei and Xue Mingtai both saw this, and they simultaneously rushed forward, standing in front of the skeleton knights.
At the same time, the Sword Emperor, Wen Taikang, and Jingtian Chuyi, among others, also followed Yang Fei and Xue Mingtai, rushing forward fiercely.
Everyone knew clearly that as long as the defense formation was breached by the skeleton knights,
the weaker martial artists and wounded companions would surely die.
Roar!
The undead knight let out a low growl, their bone horses like ferocious beasts, charging towards Yang Fei.
The undead knight's hand with a rusty iron spear thrust directly towards Yang Fei's throat.
Yang Fei's heart was gripped with fear, not only was this undead knight incredibly powerful, but their martial skills were superb.
This precise assassination could not be done by an ordinary person.
Yang Fei's Heavy Sword of the Destroyed Army countered, blocking the skeleton knight's long spear.
The skeleton knight's strength was extremely ferocious, coupled with the momentum of their charge, the shock only made Yang Fei's arm go numb, his Qi-Blood boiling.
Yang Fei was greatly startled, at how immense the skeleton knight's strength was.
Although he hadn't used the Extreme Force, the strength of a True Martial Master wasn't something to be bragged about.
Ignoring the pain in his palm, he parried the skeleton knight's spear, wielding his longsword like a broadsword, slashing down with one strike.
Boom!
With a loud crash, the skeleton knight and his horse were split in two, bones scattered, collapsing to the ground.
Other strong warriors also engaged in battle with the skeleton knights.
Though the skeleton knights were formidable, every martial arts expert here was a powerful grandmaster of martial arts.
Each person attacked with full force, finally halting the skeleton knights' charge.
After slaying two skeleton knights in succession, Yang Fei glanced towards the Earth Treasury Fallen One.
He saw that the Earth Treasury Fallen One had already separated from the main force, slowly retreating under the protection of an undead squad.
Yang Fei turned around and shouted to Xue Mingtai.
"Brother Mingtai, send me over."
Xue Mingtai nodded, Yang Fei charged forward, rushing straight towards Xue Mingtai.
Xue Mingtai planted his feet firmly, bending his knees, and gathered all his strength, ready to release.
As Yang Fei reached Xue Mingtai, he stepped onto his knee, then onto his palm.
Xue Mingtai channeled his strength through his arms and suddenly lifted upwards.
Yang Fei's whole body soared like riding the clouds, rising into the air.
He stretched his body mid-air, flying directly over countless undead and zombies.
Numerous undead zombies attacked Yang Fei in mid-air, long spears and claws in dense clusters.
Yang Fei aimed at a big-headed and short-statured figure, landing his toes on its head.
Crack!
The figure's head exploded under Yang Fei's foot, and Yang Fei's body shot skyward.
His body glided diagonally over thirty feet, like a bird in mid-air, incredibly graceful.
An Zichen and Xue Mingtai, amidst fighting with the undead, kept half an eye on Yang Fei's movements.
Seeing his body floating lightly through the air, everyone was filled with admiration.
Yang Fei ascended and descended three times, finally reaching the rear of the Earth Treasury Fallen One, less than ten meters away.
Yang Fei's body soared mid-air, the Heavy Sword of the Destroyed Army in hand, thrusting towards the Earth Treasury Fallen One's chest.
The Earth Treasury Fallen One suddenly looked up, a cunning smile appeared on his previously compassionless face.
Seeing Yang Fei's Heavy Sword of the Destroyed Army about to pierce his chest,
he suddenly turned around, clapping his hands together to catch Yang Fei's sword.
Yang Fei felt his overlapping sword momentum suddenly blocked.
Moreover, the opponent's force surged like a tidal wave, greatly alarming him.
This Earth Treasury Fallen One was no simple foe!
In his surprise, Yang Fei's body felt weightless, uncontrollably soaring outwards.
He was thrown forcefully by the Earth Treasury Fallen One.
Bam!
Yang Fei's body landed heavily on a group of undead.
Within a dozen yards, a gang of undead were knocked down by him, all collapsing to the ground.
Immediately after, all the undead nearby surged toward him, layer upon layer, densely packed.
Yang Fei wielded the Heavy Sword of the Destroyed Army, rampantly cutting down any undead or zombies that approached him.
Not far away, the Earth Treasury Fallen One chanted softly, observing without seizing the opportunity to attack.
Yang Fei swung his sword, forcing back the undead.
Spotting the Earth Treasury Fallen One's direction, he somersaulted and charged over the heads of numerous undead.
With Yang Fei airborne, the Heavy Sword of the Destroyed Army struck again, slashing down towards the bald head of the Earth Treasury Fallen One.
This blow was delivered with Yang Fei's full strength.
If the Earth Treasury Fallen One slacked off even slightly, his brains would surely be splattered by this strike.
Yet, the Earth Treasury Fallen One's face showed another sinister smile.
He seized Yang Fei's sword-arm, lifting him high off the ground uncontrollably.
