Free Web NovelChapter 585: Chapter 585: Annihilation
The bearded man watched helplessly as the woman he cherished most died before his eyes.
Although he had never lacked women throughout his life, she was the only one who had always stayed by his side.
Lady Rong was not only beautiful but also understanding and exceptionally intelligent, having offered him counsel many times over.
As a Beacon Master of the Desert Wind Army, the bearded man owed much to Lady Rong for his achievements today!
If he was an indestructible long blade, then this beautiful woman was the sheath. Although they weren’t formally married, they were already inseparable.
Thus, the sudden tragic death of Lady Rong dealt a heavy blow to the bearded man.
Nevertheless, as a heroic figure, despite his anger and sorrow reaching an extreme, he did not completely lose his rationality.
Clang!
The long blade was drawn, pointing at the figure that had just barged into the tent.
"Who are you?"
The bearded man squeezed those words out between his teeth, the spite in his eyes almost tangible.
He refrained from immediately retaliating both to buy time and to adjust his breath.
To face the enemy in his strongest state!
Zhang Yuan held the saber in his hand, smiling slightly.
He had guarded the Crescent Oasis for three days, finally witnessing the arrival of the Red Tiger Camp’s main forces today.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Yuan stealthily infiltrated the bandit camp under the cover of night and struck ruthlessly.
Although the Red Tiger Camp was heavily guarded, stopping Zhang Yuan, who had mastered the Divine Treasure and Divine Concealment Secret Techniques, and activated thirty times his agility, was undoubtedly impossible.
In fact, Zhang Yuan had been lurking close to the tent for nearly an incense stick’s worth of time, intently eavesdropping on the bearded man and his subordinates’ conversation with Lady Rong.
Only then did he seize the opportunity to launch a sudden attack!
He did not deal with the bearded man first; instead, he eliminated Lady Rong to focus entirely on dealing with this Tier Six powerhouse.
Time was precious, so Zhang Yuan uttered no superfluous words. The Taowu Saber in his hand suddenly swung up with a blaze of flame, crushing toward the opponent at lightning speed.
At the moment of swinging the saber, he activated the extraordinary abilities of the Black Giant Ant.
Adding thirty times the strength to himself!
Facing Zhang Yuan’s approaching strike, the bearded man’s breath nearly halted.
He himself was a saber technique expert but had never witnessed such a terrifying saber momentum, instantly placing him in a battlefield among heaps of corpses and seas of blood, facing a sudden assault by a multitude single-handedly.
The bearded man felt as if the surrounding space had solidified, completely binding him within.
His vision, hearing, smell, and even every inch of muscle, bone, and divine soul consciousness, were under overwhelming suppression.
This sense of powerlessness, the bearded man hadn’t experienced it for many years.
I will die!
This thought instantly arose in his mind.
"Kill!"
This Tier Six powerhouse suddenly bit his tongue, spurting a mist of blood, and simultaneously swung the long blade in his hand to protect himself while crashing backward into the tent canvas.
His intuition told him he couldn’t block Zhang Yuan’s strike.
But he could escape.
As long as he managed to buy some time, even if the hundreds of warriors in the Red Tiger Camp united in resolve, they could repel this terrifying enemy!
Clang!
The two long blades clashed violently, erupting with fierce gang qi from both sides.
The weapon in the bearded man’s hand shattered into pieces instantly, and he couldn’t help but spit another mouthful of blood.
However, leveraging the opponent’s immense power accelerated his retreat.
Yet, at the moment when the bearded man broke through the tent, a flash of silver flame reflected in his eyes, abruptly cooling his forehead, sending his consciousness into darkness.
The power and Qi Blood of this Tier Six powerhouse vanished in an instant, leaving only a trace of clarity in his divine soul.
"Divine, Divine Artifact."
The bearded man opened his mouth, uttering his last words with difficulty from his throat.
Then he collapsed headfirst to the ground, lifeless.
In the tent, Zhang Yuan extended his hand to reclaim the Godslaying Saber.
Now, he increasingly relied on this Divine Soldier to swiftly end battles, no longer burdened by excessive caution as before.
Though with Zhang Yuan’s current strength, boosted by the extraordinary abilities of the Divine Nest Host, no opponent below Tier Seven could stand against him.
However, being deep in enemy territory, eliminating the enemy leader in the shortest possible time was the correct course of action!
The Godslaying Saber should be used when needed, without overthinking.
"Enemy attack!"
At this moment, chaos erupted in the Red Tiger Camp, as bandits outside seemed to awaken from a nightmare, shouting and drawing their weapons, anxiously surrounding the tent.
Boom!
A campfire outside the tent suddenly exploded, sending a shower of sparks into the sky, illuminating a large area.
The tent then collapsed but did not entirely fall down.
All the bandits were stupefied.
Because they saw a figure standing in front of the tent, holding a long halberd.
The long halberd was hoisting a sturdy corpse.
"Beacon Master!"
A bandit rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then let out a heart-wrenching scream.
The other bandits were terrified, their courage shattered.
Their leader had been slain!
In the eyes of these fierce bandits, Zhang Yuan, who lifted the sturdy man’s corpse, appeared as a demon from hell!
The "demon" shook the long halberd, tossing the corpse aside.
The next moment, the long halberd stabbed straight forward.
All who blocked were slain!
With Black Dragon Flipping Claw, Cyan Dragon Offering Claw, Divine Dragon Tail Swing, Cross-Sweeping Thousand Soldiers...
Under the wide-open halberd techniques, a bloody storm arose in the Red Tiger Camp, bandits before Zhang Yuan shrieking and wailing as they fell.
Leaderless, their fiercely brave spirit was decimated in the blink of an eye. Despite having a huge numerical advantage, they fled in all directions, crying for their parents, wishing for an extra leg.
Some bandits, unafraid of death, tried to rally and counterattack Zhang Yuan.
But with one thrust, Zhang Yuan’s halberd pierced through several bandits, stringing them together like a bloody gourd.
The remaining bandits’ newly mustered courage vanished without a trace.
The Red Tiger Camp’s gruesome scene lasted until a cup of tea’s time before it came to an end.
Many bandits were lucky to escape alive.
But the terrifying memory of tonight would haunt them for life.
Waking suddenly from nightmares at midnight, drenched in cold sweat!
Silhouettes appeared around the camp, leaping swiftly.
Located near the core area of Crescent Oasis, the ruckus inevitably alerted other forces in the oasis.
Some experts quickly hurried over to investigate.
But they arrived a step too late!
