My Wife is A Sword God - Chapter 528: Sea of Flames - Burning Corpses

Upon hearing this, everyone thought of their families in the city and gritted their teeth, “We may be weak in strength, and we don’t know how far we can go. But we can guarantee with our lives that we will not let these corpses stop the young hero unless we die!”

“The city has already seen enough death, you don’t need to make pointless sacrifices,” Qin Feng’s eyes swept away with his superpower, and he saw a steady stream of black qi sinking into the earth.

As a result of Commander and Bai Wudi’s actions, the death rate of the Western Demons and Ghosts had been greatly reduced.

Now those ghost-faced people want to use the remnants of the human race to speed up Mao Yin’s awakening.

How despicable!

“But young hero,” someone hesitated.

Qin Feng interrupted directly, “Can this thing be used?”

Everyone looked over to see the young man in black wipe his right hand, and many square objects with strange strings tied to them appeared on the ground.

One person stared at it for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something and said in surprise, “Young hero, could this be the legendary gunpowder?”

“Yes.”

After receiving the affirmative answer, a series of inhalations were heard.

The reputation of Gunpowder had long since spread throughout the four domains of Great Qian. It could give ordinary soldiers the ability to kill demons and ghosts below the Four Calamity Cycle, and it didn’t require much from the user.

How many people dreamed of such a thing?

For them, having gunpowder was, in a way, like having an extra life.

However, the Great Qian Imperial Family strictly controlled gunpowder. Even in the Heavenly City, the amount of gunpowder that could be allocated was extremely limited.

But who exactly was this young man in front of them who could possess so much gunpowder at once?

Seeing that the group didn’t react, Qin Feng said directly, “There’s a fuse on top. After you light it, it will explode in about three seconds. You need to throw it away quickly.”

“I want you to distribute this gunpowder. If any demons and ghosts rush through the moats outside the city, light the gunpowder and throw it at them. Can you do it?”

After a brief moment of shock, everyone responded in unison and dispersed with the gunpowder in their hands.

The illusion of Xuan Yi manifested and looking at the tragic scene outside the city walls, he said in a deep voice, “If I’m not mistaken, this should be a method of the Puppet Corpse Path.”

“As long as the practitioner is not killed, even if only a hand or a foot is left, these corpses can still move.”

Qin Feng nodded. How could he not know this?

Liu Jianli had taken direct action to kill the ghost-faced man as instructed by him.

However, the Puppet Corpse Technique was strange; the practitioners of this art could fuse their souls with the corpses of others, making it impossible to distinguish the original body.

Just like the one Liu Jianli had killed earlier, it was just a decoy.

Looking at the endless corpses outside the city, Qin Feng exhaled and said, “There is another way – turn all these bodies to ash!”

With the strength of Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan, dealing with the sea of corpses was indeed easy.

However, the decoys of the Thousand Puppets were not just one, and even if these decoys were no match for the two of them, they still slowed them down to a certain extent.

Moreover, these decoys could resurrect endlessly.

Outside of Huilin City, the explosion of gunpowder was incessant.

The waves of hot air hit Qin Feng’s face, but he remained oblivious.

He had already painted countless arrays on the vast city walls, with only a little effort left to complete them.

At that moment, some soldiers shouted as countless corpses of bird-like monsters unexpectedly flew over the high walls and onto the city walls.

“Young hero, be careful!”

Qin Feng looked over dismissively and continued his actions.

Xiao Bai, who had been at his side the entire time, moved and put her hands on her hips, her stomach swelling before she spat out.

A deafening roar, compressing the air, shot out like a cannonball.

The birds disappeared in an instant.

The onlookers were stunned, not knowing what to say. They had never expected the young hero’s daughter to possess such terrifying power!

Bai Xiaomao beside Qin Feng spoke directly to him, “Rest assured, with me by your side, I can guarantee your safety. If you need anything, just let me know at any time.”

“Can I ask you to be quiet then?” Qin Feng said lightly.

Bai Xiaomao shrugged his shoulders and stepped aside.

Not long after, some soldiers arrived at the city wall in a panic, “Young hero, we’ve run out of gunpowder!”

Qin Feng finished the last stroke of the formation and exhaled deeply, “It’s okay, go and inform everyone to retreat into the city.”

The soldiers were confused, but they quickly complied.

For some reason, staying here felt like being next to a furnace, unbearably hot.

Seeing everyone retreat, Qin Feng reached into his chest and pulled out a flaming heart from the Spatial Ring.

It was the heart of a Six Calamity Cycle Fire Toad that his wife had casually slaughtered during the journey, which can be used as the heart of the formation.

Righteous Qi surged and converged into the Fire Toad’s heart.

The formation on the city wall instantly emitted a blinding red light.

“Do not go within three zhangs of me.”

Qin Feng gave instructions to Xiao Bai and Bai Xiaomao before suddenly striking his heart towards the centre of the formation.

As a blazing flame rose into the sky, a loud drumming noise resounded over Huilin City.

Countless people saw a huge fire toad hovering in the void, opening its mouth and spitting out fire.

“Formation – Burn the Eight Directions,” Xuan Yi nodded approvingly at the sight.

The fierce fire cascaded down from the city walls like a waterfall, transforming into a sea of fire.

The surging waves of flame engulfed the surrounding area with such intense heat that even the earth could melt, leaving no exception for the bodies of demons and ghosts!

The people of the city looked out through the shattered gates and broken walls, only to see endless flames.

In the sea of fire, the bodies of the demons and ghosts were reduced to ashes, leaving no trace of their bones!

Seeing this scene, the avatars of the Thousand Puppets stopped fighting Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan, turned into black mud, and disappeared.

The fire took enough time to burn a stick of incense before it stopped.

By the time Qin Feng put away his formation, the demons and ghosts that originally surrounded the city had long disappeared.

The ground was covered in black ash.

The people who were closer to the city wall at this moment had already had their clothes wet with sweat due to the scorching air waves, but they were completely unaware of it.

After a moment of silence and confusion, the joy of having survived a catastrophe erupted, and a cheer resounded throughout Huilin City for a long time.

At this point, someone reacted, “What about the young hero? Is the young hero all right?”

“The fire poured down from the city walls, and the young hero was standing there.” Another soldier’s face turned extremely grim as he realised something.

They knew that they survived because of the Black-Clad Gentleman.

If their saviour died saving them, even if they were lucky enough to survive, how could they not feel guilty?

They quickly looked up at the city walls, where the giant fire toad had disappeared, and the towering flames were no more.

A figure slowly walked to the city wall, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they were extremely excited.

Because that person was the young master in black who saved them from danger!
