"Mask, you are indeed Feng Xian's person."
Bai Cangdong and his two companions encountered Hua Qianwu and Hua Mingyang. Hua Qianwu and Hua Mingyang saw Bai Cangdong, who should not have been here, now standing here, and even beside Feng Xian. They immediately felt that their previous suspicions and speculations were absolutely correct, and they were very glad that they had seen through Bai Cangdong's identity early and did not bring him along.
"Do we want to charge towards the Immortal Altar? Do you want to come with us?" Bai Cangdong was too lazy to explain anything; whether they could survive was still unknown, and other matters were insignificant.
"With just a few of us, it's impossible to charge towards the Immortal Altar. You're too naive," Hua Mingyang said coldly.
"It's better than waiting to die here."
"We should find more survivors, gather all our strength, and then charge towards the Immortal Altar. That way, we have a better chance," Hua Qianwu said hesitantly.
Bai Cangdong was about to say something, but Feng Xian was already impatient and ignored the Hua siblings, heading towards the Immortal Altar on her own.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Bai Cangdong caught up with Feng Xian, and Ling Bo hesitated for a moment before following. The Hua siblings did not follow.
"It doesn't matter whether they come or not." Feng Xian looked in the direction of the Immortal Altar, her expression very strange.
Bai Cangdong shook his head and said nothing. Feng Xian's behavior was very unusual. Before entering the abyss, he had only met Feng Xian twice, and they had not even spoken during one of those times. However, Feng Xian had left him with the impression of a cunning and ruthless woman.
Now, Feng Xian's behavior was completely different from the impression she had given him before, almost as if she were a different person.
As they moved forward, Feng Xian attacked wildly, leaving almost no chance for Bai Cangdong and Ling Bo to act. All the Undead they encountered were killed by Feng Xian.
The overflow of Feng Xian's Life Essence Light became increasingly severe, almost solidifying into a tangible form.
"What have you done?" Bai Cangdong finally couldn't help but ask.
"What I've done, is it important to you?" Feng Xian looked at Bai Cangdong coldly.
"Now we are on the same boat. It's better to tell us what's going on so we can be prepared," Bai Cangdong said.
"No need to prepare. If I can't break through to the altar and shatter the Eternal Crystal, you will all die for sure." Feng Xian had no interest in further conversation and continued towards the Immortal Altar.
Feng Xian's Life Essence Light had reached an almost divine level. From Bai Cangdong's perspective, Feng Xian's Life Essence Light was already stronger than the Four Directions Knight, incredibly powerful.
Ordinary Viscount-level Undead could not stop Feng Xian's advance. She could easily kill them with a single strike, and her Life Essence Light seemed endless.
"Roar!" A deafening roar came from ahead.
"It's the Golden Lion Beast's voice!" Ling Bo exclaimed with joy.
Bai Cangdong, however, was not so optimistic. The Golden Lion Beast's roar carried intense anger and frustration, indicating that the Four Directions Knight was in a dire situation.
The three rushed over as quickly as possible. From a distance, they saw the Four Directions Knight sitting on the ground in front of a cliff, the Golden Lion Beast guarding him and desperately fighting off three Viscount-level Undead.
The Golden Lion Beast was known for its strength and speed, but its defense was not its strong point. To protect the Four Directions Knight, it had to engage in a fierce battle with the three Viscount-level Undead, and its body was covered in wounds, its golden fur stained red with blood.
Feng Xian flew out, her long sword striking three times in quick succession, killing the three Viscount-level Undead with her offensive sword technique.
"Who is it?" The Four Directions Knight covered his chest and asked in a low voice.
Bai Cangdong was shocked to see that the Four Directions Knight's eyes were like black charcoal, clearly the result of the Eight Eyes Celestial Lord's Heavenly Eye Technique.
"Feng Xian." Feng Xian responded coolly.
"Impossible, Feng Xian can't have such strength. Even though I am blind, I can feel that your Life Essence Light has reached at least 200 levels. How can you be Feng Xian?" The Four Directions Knight was shocked.
Feng Xian said nothing more. Bai Cangdong examined the Four Directions Knight's chest. Despite covering the wound, blood still seeped through his fingers.
"How is your injury?" The Four Directions Knight, despite his blindness, was still a formidable fighter and could not be underestimated.
"I was first hit by the Eight Eyes Celestial Lord's Heavenly Eye Technique, then pierced through the heart by the Blood Sword Demon's Blood Sword Technique. I am already doomed," the Four Directions Knight said with a hint of detachment.
"Do you have any last words? If we survive by chance, we can pass them on to your loved ones."
"I have no family left, and there's nothing to say to my friends." The Four Directions Knight shook his head, then removed his armor and said to Feng Xian, "These things are for you. They might help you break through to the Immortal Altar and shatter the Eternal Crystal."
"And this one, though it has lost most of its fighting ability, if you survive, please take care of it for me." The Four Directions Knight finally handed over the Golden Lion Beast to Feng Xian.
Feng Xian saw that the Four Directions Knight was at his last moments and did not refuse, taking the armor and the Golden Lion Beast.
The Four Directions Knight's face showed a faint smile, and he passed away with that smile, seemingly finding some form of release.
Feng Xian directly handed the Golden Lion Beast to Bai Cangdong. Bai Cangdong looked at her strangely and asked, "These are the things the Four Directions Knight gave you. Why are you giving them to me?"
"I don't have the chance to fulfill the Four Directions Knight's wish." Feng Xian said coolly, not explaining further, and continued towards the altar.
The three were not far from the Immortal Altar, and Undead were everywhere. Feng Xian, with her sword, killed many Undead, making them dare not approach.
Bai Cangdong and Ling Bo only cleaned up the smaller Undead that escaped, with no chance to show their full strength.
Suddenly, eight emerald eyes appeared in the air less than five meters in front of Bai Cangdong and his companions. The immortal bird, which had been perched on Bai Cangdong's shoulder, let out a loud cry, and its crimson flames suddenly burst into a bright red light, burning the air with a crackling sound.
Feng Xian's eyes flashed with a killing intent, and she thrust her sword, releasing a shocking sword light that cut towards the eight emerald eyes.
The eight emerald eyes vanished, and Feng Xian's random slashes did not force the Eight Eyes Celestial Lord to appear.
"What a terrifying Eight Eyes Celestial Lord. Fortunately, the immortal bird can counter its Heavenly Eye Technique, or we would have met the same fate as the Four Directions Knight." Bai Cangdong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Follow me closely." Feng Xian charged towards the clearly visible Immortal Altar.
Bai Cangdong and Ling Bo quickly followed, protecting Feng Xian from behind to prevent the Undead from attacking her from the rear, while the front was left to Feng Xian.
The closer they got to the Immortal Altar, the more Undead there were, almost like an endless tide. Feng Xian, with her endless and terrifying Life Essence Light, cut through the obstacles and carved out a bloody path, stepping on the bones of the fallen to reach the Immortal Altar.
A blood-red sword light descended from the sky, and Feng Xian swung her sword, the golden sword light instantly shattering the blood-red sword light, revealing a blood-red sword with a blood-red eye at the junction of the blade and hilt, staring at Feng Xian.
The immortal bird's crimson flames burned, and eight emerald eyes appeared in the air. Feng Xian swung her sword, forcing the Eight Eyes Celestial Lord to retreat again.
Boom!
A giant made of flames stepped out of the air, throwing a ball of fire with both hands. Feng Xian swung her sword, cutting the fire into pieces, but the sword light was also burned out.
Feng Xian, under the attack of the Blood Sword Demon, the Eight Eyes Celestial Lord, and the Hell Flame Messenger, could no longer spare attention to Bai Cangdong and Ling Bo. The two were immediately surrounded by a tide of Undead and had to fight with all their might.
Fortunately, Feng Xian's dominance attracted most of the powerful Undead, and Bai Cangdong could still barely hold his ground. Ling Bo, however, was not doing well. She had only recently ascended to the Viscount level, and her strength was far inferior to Bai Cangdong's.
Bai Cangdong wielded his dual swords, charging towards the Eternal Crystal, attracting the attention of many powerful Undead, making it easier for Ling Bo.
White Life Essence Light transformed into sword light, shooting out from the Ling Luo Sword and the Evil-Breaking Sword, killing one Undead after another. For some reason, the more Undead he killed, the stronger his killing intent became. Initially, he could still maintain his clarity, looking for an opportunity to charge towards the Eternal Crystal, but later, his mind was filled with only one thought.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill..."
Under the intense killing intent, Bai Cangdong's Life Essence Light became abnormally powerful. Many Viscount-level Undead, who would normally have fought for a long time, were directly cut in half by the white Life Essence Light.
Bai Cangdong's eyes glowed with white light, making them look entirely white, which was quite terrifying.
The immortal bird flew in the air, occasionally spewing solar light to counter the Eight Eyes Celestial Lord's Heavenly Eye Technique, making the Eight Eyes Celestial Lord retreat each time and disappear again.
Bai Cangdong's killing intent grew stronger, and his white Life Essence Light became even more powerful. Eventually, it could almost match Feng Xian's powerful Life Essence Light. The two of them managed to hold off the countless powerful Undead, slowly advancing towards the Eternal Crystal.
The Hell Flame Messenger, the Eight Eyes Celestial Lord, the Blood Sword Demon, the Black Wind Wolf, and nearly a thousand other Viscount-level Undead were barely able to stop their advance.
Feng Xian secretly glanced at Bai Cangdong, surprised. She truly wanted to reach the Eternal Crystal, while Bai Cangdong was completely driven by his killing intent, charging towards the area with the most Undead, looking like a madman enjoying the process of reaping lives.
"Kill!" Bai Cangdong leaped high, the Evil-Breaking Sword fiercely slashing at the Blood Sword Demon, which glowed with a blood-red sword light but could not withstand the terrifying white sword light, and was cut into two.
