My Wife is A Sword God - Chapter 539: These soldiers shouldn't die here
Qian Gui was dead, so naturally no one could control the corpses of demons and ghosts.
In various cities in the Western Region, the invading demons and ghosts were like puppets whose strings were cut off, and their corpses were pulled down.
“Is it over?” The demon-slayer was stunned for a moment and asked curiously.
The Chief of the Demon Slaying Department of Heavenly City, one of the Thirty-Six Stars, looked in the direction of Qiongyu City, where the night sky had changed color.
The Heavenly City was nearly six thousand miles away from Qiongyu City, and changes could still be seen from such a long distance.
It is enough to see that something terrible was happening there!
“No, the real disaster may be just beginning.”
Qin Jian’an’s face looked extremely ugly, and then all he could see was Jinyun, who had arrived later, punching his abdomen, and everywhere the ghost-faced people were, a bloody mouth opened in the void.
Sword Ghost stepped into it step by step as he turned around before leaving and said, “I wonder if your current strength can handle Mao Yin?”
With those words, he and Jinyun disappeared into the void.
Elsewhere, Gong Du, Ghost Buddha, and others also left.
Seeing Gong Du fleeing, Gong Cang unleashed his skills to try and catch him, but it was in vain.
And now, hunting down the masterminds of the chaos in the western regions was no longer the top priority.
For above Qiongyu City, the flames of the Netherworld began to spread. Wherever they passed, all living things seemed enchanted, their eyes vacant, motionless.
This was Mao Yin’s innate divine ability, born after devouring the souls of gods and demons, capable of absorbing all living souls!
Fu Ruoyun looked up and asked, “What should we do now?”
Qin Jian’an didn’t look back, “You stay here, I’ll take care of this.”
Fu Ruoyun frowned and said in a dissatisfied tone, “You talk big. This is the Western Region, not the Northern Region. I’m the commander here, I don’t need to take orders from you. This guy appeared in my territory, so of course I have to go.”
Qin Jian’an furrowed his brow, then heard his two daughters-in-law speak up together, “We want to go too.”
Feeling overwhelmed, Qin Jian’an turned around and said sternly, “Mao Yin’s strength surpasses that of Sword Ghost, and even I am not confident of winning. What can you two do?”
Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan looked at this familiar yet strange figure and fell into silence for a moment.
Cang Feilan pursed her lips and said, “Father, Qin Feng is there, I want to go and protect him!”
Her tone is firm and unwavering.
Liu Jianli said directly, “Even if gods and demons descend, wherever Qin Feng is, I will go.”
Looking at the two stubborn daughters-in-law, Father Qin finally gave in.
He had known for a long time that these two people were not easy to deal with.
But the fact that Feng’er could marry such two women also made him extremely happy.
At least if one day he was no longer around, there would still be someone to protect the Qin family.
Taking out a new white mask from his arms, Father Qin lightly said, “Find Feng’er and take him to a safe place.”
“Okay,” Liu Jianli nodded in agreement.
“And… don’t tell him about my identity for now.”
Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan looked at each other in confusion, but still agreed.
“Follow me.” Qin Jianan stepped forward slowly, his body like a stream of light, rushing towards Qiongyu City.
Fu Ruoyun and the others followed close behind.
In addition to them, the others who had come to support Qiongyu City also quickened their pace.
A big battle was inevitable.
The pain of having one’s soul extracted became more and more intense, and Qin Feng felt as if his entire being was constantly sinking into the depths of the sea.
Even he who had reached the Fifth Stage of the Magnificent Virtue Realm was in such agony, not to mention those lower-ranked soldiers who practised the Divine Martial Tradition!
He could even see Black Qi emanating from the soldiers’ bodies, swirling towards Mao Yin.
Once the soldiers’ souls were consumed by Mao Yin, there would be no way for them to survive!
At that moment, Xuan Yi appeared, sensing the change. He looked around with a furrowed brow.
Qin Feng asked with difficulty, “Senior, do you have a solution?”
Xuan Yi said in a deep voice, “I can sense the strength of these demons and ghosts. With your strength, trying to confront them would be like trying to hit a rock with an egg. But rest assured, I can protect your soul, as for the others…”
Xuan Yi left the rest unsaid, but Qin Feng could already tell that they were on their own.
Looking at these soldiers who were now frozen like sculptures, not long ago they had fought bravely for the Western Region.
Could they just watch them die helplessly now?
Think of a way, think hard, even if there is only a glimmer of hope!
Qin Feng suddenly had an idea. He looked at the Black Qi once again, a plan forming in his mind.
If he used the Eight Trigrams Jade’s technique of shifting stars and moving, could he make the Black Qi re-enter the soldiers’ bodies, thus solving the current crisis?
Although there was no absolute certainty, it was worth a try!
However, Qin Feng also knew very well that using his own power to cover the entire Qiongyu City with the Eight Trigrams Jade Formation was nothing more than wishful thinking. He could only rely on the power of Senior Xuan, just like when he had saved Feilan.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi immediately refused, “Aside from whether this method is feasible, have you ever considered that doing so will inevitably attract the attention of that powerful demon?”
“At that time, I won’t be able to protect you.”
Qin Feng was of course very clear on this point, but he still took a deep breath and looked extremely determined: “For those who carry firewood for the masses, we cannot let them freeze to death in the wind and snow. For those who pave the way for freedom, we cannot let them be trapped by thorns and thistles.“
“These soldiers should not die like this.”
When Xuan Yi heard this, his white phantom flickered slightly. Finally moved by Qin Feng’s righteousness, he sighed, “Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Elder, please.” Qin Feng took out the Eight Trigrams Jade from his arms, his tone without a hint of hesitation.
“Alright!”
Xuan Yi’s phantom merged with Qin Feng’s body until they became one.
On the side, Prince Chu was surprised to see that the black-clad youth’s body was emitting a blinding white light for some reason.
Sensing something, Xu Lexian looked in Qin Feng’s direction in shock, “Is that Junior Brother? What is he going to do?”
After a while, Qin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a stream of platinum-coloured light in his pupils.
Under his feet, white light surged, and then, centred on him, the Eight Trigrams Jade Formation spread out, covering the entire Qiongyu City!
“Stellar Transposition.”
An indifferent voice sounded, and the formation under their feet erupted with blinding white light.
Mao Yin’s crimson eyes were full of mockery. He wanted to taste the taste of living souls, but at the moment the white light erupted.
These wandering souls unexpectedly changed direction and reentered the bodies of the crowd.
The resurrected soldiers took a sharp breath. The feeling of surviving the disaster was really difficult to describe in words.
But they were also curious: who exactly had brought them back from the gates of death?
Roar!
An angry roar shook the heavens and the earth.
Everyone looked in that direction, only to see the terrifying figure of Mao Yin staring in a certain direction.
As the gazes converged, some vaguely saw a shining white figure.
Lie Ying shouted, “It’s Military Advisor Qin!”
The soldiers also understood when they heard this. If their speculation was correct, it was Military Advisor Qin who had saved them, which was why Mao Yin was so furious!
With a roar, a terrifying aura of unbeatable power surged towards Qin Feng.
Qin Feng used his last bit of strength to use the Shadow Shifting Technique. However, instead of saving himself, he pushed Prince Chu away from his side.
The words of his untrustworthy father echoed in his ears – “Do everything with a clear conscience.”
“Only by not forgetting your original intention can you achieve success.”
