Chapter 655: Destruction

The distance of just one street became the dividing line between life and death.

One by one, the Xianyuan Guards turned around without hesitation to block the tide of insects, and then were submerged.

The building with red lanterns hanging at the door was finally in sight. Yu Qing was the only Xianyuan Guard left beside Lu Ye. Her spirit showed an abnormal translucent state, and it was clear that she was on the verge of dissipation.

At the last moment, she grabbed Lu Ye's shoulders and threw him out, shouting: "Hide in!"

In mid-air, the Panshan Knife slashed with a knife light, and two locust-like Zergs shed blood.

Lu Ye landed in front of the building and turned his head to look. He could no longer see Yu Qing's figure. Behind him was only the overwhelming torrent of Zerg chasing him.

He quickly pushed open the door, rushed into the building, and closed the door with his backhand. Then, there was a fierce sound of Zerg attack outside.

But this is a building that is endowed with special shelter power after all, so no matter how the Zergs attack, it is impossible to break it.

Lu Ye clenched his fists, his face was gloomier than ever before, and the grief deep in his heart made him feel indescribable pain.

He had not spent much time with Yu Qing and others, and their friendship could only be regarded as a casual acquaintance at best, not even to the point of friendship.

But those Immortal Yuan Guards were able to protect him at the last moment and sacrifice their lives. If it were not for the help of those Immortal Yuan Guards, Lu Ye thought that he would not be able to escape back to this stronghold.

Thinking about it carefully, he had only given the butcher a small bottle of soul-washing water before. What virtue and ability did he have to let these Immortal Yuan Guards entrust their lives to him?

The Zerg's attack outside was still fierce. A street away, there were more fierce fighting sounds coming out. It was obvious that the butcher was fighting with the Zerg of the Divine Sea Realm.

Until a certain moment, the fighting sound suddenly subsided.

Lu Ye's heart tightened.

He didn't know the outcome of this battle, whether the butcher would win or lose.

Just as he was thinking this, the already noisy Zerg outside suddenly became even more lively, with the unique hissing sound of the Zerg constantly ringing out.

Lu Ye seemed to realize something, and hurriedly looked through the crack in the door. He saw that many Zergs gathered in a certain area on the street in front of the door. In that area, there were constant flashes of knife lights, and Zergs were turned into pieces in the sharp knife lights.

Then, the fat figure of the butcher rushed out and quickly came to the door. Lu Ye hurriedly opened the door, and the butcher flashed in.

After he came in, Lu Ye closed the door again, and the outside became lively again.

"Are you the only one?" The butcher looked around and suddenly asked.

Lu Ye lowered his head: "All the seniors died on the way back to protect me!"

The butcher seemed to see the guilt in his heart and chuckled: "If they didn't protect you, they wouldn't live long. Let them die. Don't worry about it. They..." Before he finished speaking, the butcher paused, and suddenly showed a meaningful expression on his face. He changed the subject: "Since you survived, live well and don't let them down."

Lu Ye was silent, feeling heavier than ever before.

The butcher stepped forward and handed over the boning knife in his hand: "I'll give this to you, you must keep it well."

Lu Ye was stunned, looked up, and his face changed drastically: "Senior?"

The butcher sat down cross-legged and sighed: "I'm a little tired, take a rest, don't worry."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, and his almost transparent body disappeared in a twist, and the boning knife in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Although he won the battle just now, it was a bitter victory. He forced himself to come back here, but he couldn't hold on any longer.

Looking at the place where the butcher disappeared, Lu Ye was speechless.

He didn't know what kind of belief supported these Xianyuan Guards, but in the few conversations with Yu Qing and others, he learned that they had been fighting this kind of war for thousands of years. Thousands of years of continuous fighting made these Xianyuan Guards think that death was a relief.

Liu Datong, Yu Qing, and those Xianyuan Guards whose names Lu Ye couldn't remember did not show any fear at the last moment of their lives.

They were never afraid of death.

It was unknown how long it took before Lu Ye stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the place where the butcher disappeared, then picked up the boning knife and put it in his storage space.

Immediately, he found a place to sit cross-legged and swallowed the elixir to recover himself.

The butcher team has been wiped out, but their mission has not been completed. Even out of remembrance and respect, Lu Ye wants to carry out the original mission for them and clear out the Zerg in this area.

He also has a lot of injuries on his body, all of which were left when he broke through before. These injuries are difficult to recover. Originally, he could borrow the soul-washing water, but the last soul-washing water had been given to the butcher.

However, he still has the strength to fight, as long as he is careful not to consume his soul power.

In his perception, there are still five Zergs in his Zerg team alive, and the other two were killed by other Zergs in the previous chaos.

Five Zergs, plus himself, as long as he is careful enough, it should not be a problem to complete the mission for the butcher team, provided that he does not encounter the Zerg of the Divine Sea Realm again.

However, it is not so easy to encounter the Zerg of the Divine Sea Realm. This encounter is purely coincidental. Such powerful Zergs are generally located near the City Lord's Mansion.

The noise outside gradually calmed down, and the previous laughter and joy in the stronghold were gone, only silence flowed.

After resting for two hours, Lu Ye got up and looked out through the crack of the door. There were not many Zergs scattered nearby, and five of them were controlled by him.

With a thought, he gave orders to the five Zergs, controlling them to move closer to the nearby Zergs.

When Lu Ye opened the door, all the Zergs in his sight were alarmed, and driven by instinct, those Zergs rushed over here.

However, the killing had already begun, and when the five controlled Zergs suddenly attacked, the vitality dissipated in an instant.

Lu Ye's figure turned into a residual image and rushed forward. The Panshan knife was unsheathed, slashing out a crescent-shaped blade light, and the Zergs rushing towards him fell down in an instant.

He did not control the movement of the battle, and even deliberately made a big noise to attract the nearby Zergs.

There is a base where he can hide next to him. If the situation is not right, he will rush back immediately, so that he can ensure his own safety.

More and more Zergs are attracted, and the battlefield is full of Zerg fragments. A little bit of golden light floats from all directions to the back of Lu Ye's hand, but he has no time to check the increase of his military merits. There is only one thought in his mind, to kill all the Zergs in his sight!

This battle ended after an hour. Lu Ye dragged his tired body back to the base to recuperate again.

Outside the door, five enslaved Zergs guarded quietly.

Half a day later, the door was opened again, and Lu Ye walked out. Although he tried not to activate the power of the soul in the battle, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and many times he was helpless.

Compared with before this battle, Lu Ye was undoubtedly a little weaker, but this weakness was only a weakness in the soul, and it did not affect his strength.

He flashed and landed on the back of the spider Zerg, activating the Concealment and Breathing Spiritual Patterns. Under Lu Ye's command, the five Zergs moved forward in the direction of the next stronghold.

Lu Ye only knew that the task of the Butcher Squad was to clear all the Zergs in this area, but he didn't know how big this area was.

The only thing that was certain was that the scope of the clearing was from the inside to the outside, so it was right to point to the outside of the city.

He originally walked from the outer periphery of the city to the middle, but now he had to go back again. It was really unpredictable.

Fortunately, the further out you go, the lower the average strength of the Zerg.

Every time you find a stronghold, Lu Ye will first check the surroundings to see if there are too powerful Zergs. If there are, he will rely on his Zerg team to attack and kill them. If not, he will make a noise in front of the stronghold to attract all the nearby Zergs.

Fighting alone is undoubtedly very boring. Before, the butcher led the team and crushed the Zerg with ease. Wherever he went, the Zerg had little resistance. But now he can only rely on himself, and Lu Ye feels the pressure.

Fortunately, killing the Zerg can earn military merit.

Rest and recuperate again and again, kill the enemy again and again...

Every stronghold was killed and blood flowed like a river, and corpses piled up like a mountain. Lu Ye didn't know how many Zerg he had killed. He only knew that his military merit was approaching the 200,000 mark.

His body was getting weaker and weaker. Lu Ye had a vague feeling that he was afraid that he would not be able to complete the task for the butcher and his team, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Finally, at a certain moment, he reached the edge of the city.

Looking ahead, the thick fog rolled in front, isolating the entire city.

Looking at the thick fog, Lu Ye couldn't help but feel a familiar feeling. Every time he entered the mirage before, the monsters rushed out of this thick fog.

He was also very curious about what was in the thick fog, so he went deep into it to investigate. Unfortunately, he was attacked and killed inexplicably before he could go far.

He didn't expect that there was such a thick fog outside Xianyuan City. What would it be like if he walked in?

Lu Ye quickly dispelled the idea in his mind. Although he didn't know what the consequences would be if he walked into the thick fog, he was sure that the end would not be good. It would be better to be honest and move around in Xianyuan City.

He turned around and led his Zerg team to the side to continue the task of clearing out the Zerg.

Streets were cleared one by one, and all the Zerg were killed wherever they passed.

Lu Ye's body was getting weaker and weaker, and it was already showing a translucent trend. Although he would rest after each battle, the consumption of his spiritual power still made him feel a little drowsy. There was a thought surging in his mind every moment. Close your eyes and have a good sleep, no matter what the world turns upside down.
