The five hundred and fiftieth chapters extinguished the fire of life
"Kill the traitors and destroy Beiyan!"
"Kill the traitors and destroy Beiyan!"
Under Nangong's call to die for his country, the patrols and the remaining soldiers in the fortress were gathered together.
Each one of them was aroused with passion, raised their fists and shouted, vowing to live or die with the former military fortress.
After Nangong Xieguo and his army arrived, the rebels began to retreat quickly. Their task was not to fight with the troops commanded by the former army, but to open the fortress pass and let in the Northern Yan army.
But the pass itself was guarded by garrison, and Nangong Shiguo led his army to attack from behind. The rebels were unable to break through the pass in a short time.
"Kill me, no one will be spared!" Nangong Shiguo led thousands of soldiers in an unstoppable charge all the way. All of them were killed with red eyes. They killed every one they saw and showed no mercy to the rebels.
The rebels were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Nangong Mieguo would not let them go. Breaking the fortress pass from the inside was their only way to survive.
Precisely because they knew this, the rebels were inspired to their original ferocity, launched crazy suicide attacks, and forced their way through the border at all costs.
How could they succeed if Nangong died for his country? This white-haired veteran took the lead and rushed into the rebels regardless of his own safety. He cut down hundreds of rebel soldiers in one breath and then beheaded two lieutenants who were at the peak of ninth-level martial arts.
Although he was injured in more than a dozen places as a result, he did not stop the slaughter at all. Instead, he fought more and more fiercely. Like a beast forced into a desperate situation, he continued to charge forward desperately like a madman.
"That old madman! Is he going to die with us?"
"We must break through the pass before that madman comes after us, otherwise we will all die!"
The rebels were frightened by Nangong Mao's madness that he would rather lose 800 to himself than 3,000 to the enemy. As a result, their morale became weaker and weaker, and the number of soldiers became smaller and smaller.
…
In the wilderness several miles away from the fortress.
More than a dozen bloody corpses lay scattered on the wasteland, and the blood dyed the land red.
The King of Nanxia, whose whole body was burning, was stepping on a corpse with one foot. The flames on his body had weakened a lot, and all the muscle tissue on his body had been burned away, leaving only the exposed bones that continued to burn.
Thirty meters away from the King of Nanxia, Xue Rengui, covered in blood, was slowly getting up from the scorched earth pit, looking up at the King of Nanxia with horrified eyes.
"Everything is over!" King Nan Xia's jaw did not move, and his voice sounded almost out of thin air.
The moment King Nan Xia's voice sounded, the remaining skeleton burned up instantly and turned into a large amount of scorching flames.
The flames gathered into the outline of a human figure, sprouted new limbs and facial features, and became exactly like the King of Nanxia himself. He just floated quietly in the air, as if he was so light that he had no mass whatsoever.
At this time, the King of Nanxia has broken away from the category of living things. He has no entity, but is made entirely of flames and is in the form of energy.
The King of Nanxia in this energy form is more difficult to deal with than before, but its duration is shorter. Once the energy is exhausted, it will disappear immediately, which can be described as a flash in the pan.
Seeing the King of Nanxia in this state, Xue Rengui was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. All the dozen silver lieutenants he brought with him had died tragically. No one could help him now, so he could only carry the King of Nanxia down on his own. final attack.
Xue Rengui hurriedly put a talisman on himself, and then drained all his mental power at once, strengthening the telekinesis surrounding himself to the maximum limit.
This talisman was made by Master Beiyan. Its function is to forcibly increase mental power in a short period of time, tripling the effect of mental abilities.
After Xue Rengui uses this talisman, the effect of telekinesis will be enhanced three times in a short period of time.
But after that, his cultivation will permanently regress two realms, and he will fall into an extremely weak state within the next two hours.
Xue Rengui would never use this kind of talisman unless it was a life or death situation.
But at this moment, he was forced to the point where he had to use it.
Soon enough, in the midst of the lightning and flint, the energy form of the King of Nanxia had turned into a ball of flame, dragging a long tail of fire towards Xue Rengui.
In this state, the King of Nanxia no longer needs any weapons or martial arts moves. Just his own collision is an attack as powerful as a natural disaster.
If you look down from the sky, you can see something like a meteorite streaking across the ground at a very fast speed, and then explode instantly somewhere, forming a hot mushroom fire cloud.
In just a short moment, the mushroom fire cloud expanded to a height of sixty meters. The rolling heat wave centered on the mushroom fire cloud and swept away like a tsunami in all directions, turning all the plants in the area to ashes.
A ball of flame with a human-shaped outline broke away from the expanding mushroom fire cloud and rose into the sky at an extremely fast speed.
This human-shaped flame no longer looks like the King of Southern Xia. It has become blurry and dim. It is crumbling in the wind. It is obvious that there is not much heat left. It is like a candle in the wind, which may extinguish the fire of life at any time.
.
The soul of the King of Nanxia is also constantly breaking away from this flame.
"This is all I can do. The future of Nanxia will be left to you..."
This was the last thought before the king of Nanxia became unconscious.
After that, his consciousness dissipated in the sky and earth along with the flames that drifted in the wind.
Everything was completely plunged into darkness.
When the mushroom fire cloud rolled into the sky, everything calmed down.
On the ground in the area where the mushroom cloud rose, a huge crater with a diameter of fifty meters appeared. The center of the crater sunk five or six meters downward, and the scorched earth in the crater was still burning with residual sparks.
Xue Rengui, covered in blood and flesh, crawled out of the scorched earth pit with difficulty, like a devil crawling out of hell, with an extremely horrifying face.
"Damn King Nanxia, he almost killed me! I swear, I will humiliate your daughter in every possible way, so that she can neither survive nor die!"
…
Dozens of miles away.
Nangong Yan, who was carrying Lin Yun on his back, turned into a shadow, running at high speed in the vast wilderness.
No matter where Nangong Yan goes, the swallow blooming with blue light follows her like a shadow. It is her martial spirit - "Golden Swiftlet".
The ability of the Golden Swallow is similar to that of Xizhou's Mingjiao Elder Wuhun, in that it also controls quality. However, it can only reduce the quality of matter, but cannot increase it.
Although Nangong Yan's own speed is far inferior to that of King Wu, after reducing her own mass to the limit, she can be as light as a swallow, gain extremely fast speed, and can additionally increase the effect of her body skills.
Not only that, she can also reduce the quality of other substances through contact.
The mass of a substance is directly proportional to the structural strength. The lower the mass, the weaker the structural strength.
So in front of Nangong Yan, there is no difference between steel and tofu. As long as she uses her martial soul ability, she can easily crush steel.
At this moment, she has reduced the mass of herself and Lin Yun to the minimum. The combined mass of the two is almost equal to that of a soybean, so in this state, their speed is completely comparable to that of King Wu.
.
The only problem is that if this continues, the consumption will be huge. With Nangong Yan's energy reserves, there is no way he can reach the royal city in this state.
