Chapter 372: Chapter 24 Headless Knight
"Swoosh."
Lin Feng’s reaction was extremely swift. As the axe came chopping down, he quickly sidestepped to the left, narrowly evading the Dead Spirit’s strike.
However, although the Dead Spirit’s body was massive, it was incredibly agile. After the swing missed, its right hand shook, transitioning from a chop to a sweep towards Lin Feng.
"Clang!"
Lin Feng waved his Black Dragon Sword to block, and the giant axe collided with the Black Dragon Sword fiercely. Instantly, a terrifying force surged into his body.
That terrible force sent Lin Feng flying backward.
His arm went numb.
Lin Feng knocked over more than a dozen figures in his flight, both cultivators and Dead Spirits, finally landing on top of a Dead Spirit, which clung to him tightly.
Meanwhile, the axe-wielding Dead Spirit charged swiftly towards him, swinging its axe, attempting to slay Lin Feng.
The situation was critical.
Sikong Zhaiyue rushed over, swinging his short blade at the axe-wielding Dead Spirit, entangling it and buying Lin Feng time. Lin Feng struggled free from the grasp of the Dead Spirit beneath him, snapping its neck.
He leapt up, lunging towards the axe-wielding Dead Spirit.
Puff.
The sword light flashed, sweeping forward. The head of the axe-wielding Dead Spirit was cleaved off by Lin Feng, but no blood spurted out; the blood of the Dead Spirit had long since dried up.
"Roar..."
Despite being decapitated, the Dead Spirit did not die. Its head hovered in mid-air, letting out a roar of fury, while the headless body continued to swing the giant axe at Sikong Zhaiyue. The enormous head charged directly at Lin Feng, opening its gaping maw as if to tear him apart.
Seeing this, Lin Feng’s face abruptly changed.
At the same time, the Dead Spirit whose neck Lin Feng had snapped also rose again.
Crack crack.
The Dead Spirit twisted its neck, eventually restoring the twisted, pretzel-like neck twisted by Lin Feng back to its original state.
The Dead Spirit’s head, too, let out a low growl and lunged at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng shouted sternly, "Sikong, these Dead Spirits are essentially Undying Bodies. They can’t be killed. Let’s not get entangled with them any longer. Let’s go!"
Sikong Zhaiyue nodded.
Fighting these Dead Spirits was not only pointless but also very dangerous. You could decapitate their heads, but the Dead Spirits would not die.
But if the Dead Spirit pierced your heart, then death was certain.
Lin Feng slashed with his sword and sent the biting head of the Dead Spirit flying, then quickly moved deeper into the canyon.
Sikong Zhaiyue also broke free from his opponent and charged into the depths alongside Lin Feng.
The two cooperated very well, slicing their way towards the deepest part of the gorge, where there was a twisted curtain of light. Passing through it seemed to lead to the Ancient God Demon Battlefield.
Sikong Zhaiyue explained, "That is a twisted space-time formed by a teleportation array. The Ancient God Demon Battlefield has been sealed and turned into an independent space, but by passing through that distorted space-time, we can reach the Ancient God Demon Battlefield. When we go later, we mustn’t separate; if we do, the distorted space-time might send us to different places."
"Alright..." Lin Feng nodded.
Many people had already rushed over, trying to enter the Ancient God Demon Battlefield.
However, a powerful Headless Knight guarded the final passage.
He rode on a Dragon Horse stepping forward.
The Dragon Horse was a rare Exotic Beast with a dragon head and a horse body, capable of traveling thirty million miles in a day.
But it was clear that the Dragon Horse had also turned into a Dead Spirit, its eyes flickering with a ghastly green light.
The Headless Knight held a giant sword, swinging it to slay his foes.
Buzz.
A kilometer-long sword aura condensed into being.
"Good heavens, run..."
At this scene, the cultivators rushing toward the Ancient God Demon Battlefield were all scared out of their wits. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
What kind of existence is this? A sword beam that actually extends for a kilometer, this is far too terrifying. It’s hard to imagine how terrifying the opponent’s strength must be to condense such a kilometer-long sword beam.
Everyone retreated in panic, but many were unable to dodge the attack of the kilometer-long sword beam.
"Thump... Thump..."
The sound of tearing through the air echoed, as cultivator after cultivator was bisected at the waist by the kilometer-long sword beam, dozens of cultivators dying on the spot.
"It’s too powerful."
Lin Feng and Sikong Zhaiyue were lucky to escape the calamity, their faces extremely pale. It was fortunate they were further away; otherwise, they would have ended up like those cultivators, bisected at the waist by the headless knight’s sword.
People looked at the headless knight with their scalps tingling. Truly too strong, it was terrifying and hard to contest, the level of this existence was beyond imagination.
The headless knight alone, on horseback, guarded the twisted space-time that led to the interior of the Ancient God Demon Battlefield, but no one dared to step forward.
Boom boom boom...
Behind them, the army of dead spirits charged forward, forcing everyone to join the fray and fight against the dead spirits once more.
"Hmph."
A cold snort sounded, signaling the arrival of a powerful being.
A dazzling, eye-catching light flew in, with a middle-aged man standing within it.
"It’s a great ability from the Ancient Sun Moon Sacred Land!"
Someone exclaimed in shock. The identity of that cultivator was terrifying, a figure of great ability whose strength had long surpassed the Yin Yang Realm. Such figures were rare to be seen walking about the Three Thousand States of the Heavenly Martial Continent, but now that the Ancient God Demon Battlefield had opened, they had emerged from their seclusion.
"With even this level of existence appearing, could it be just as the Fire Kirin said? These most ancient forces are coming for that divine corpse that surpasses divine spirits..."
Lin Feng couldn’t help but think to himself.
Faced with the great ability from the Ancient Sun Moon Sacred Land, the headless knight still wielded a single sword.
Buzz. The kilometer-long sword beam was condensed once again, slashing towards the great ability from the Ancient Sun Moon Sacred Land.
Bang...
The two forces collided instantly, but to everyone’s astonishment, even the great ability from the Ancient Sun Moon Sacred Land was sent flying, his body reversing through the air for thousands of kilometers.
Wow! That great ability actually spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"That’s a figure of great ability! Yet he was slashed to the point of spitting blood with a single sword strike; how monstrously strong is that headless knight?"
Many faces were filled with shock. The headless knight was truly too powerful, producing a feeling of palpitations and despair in everyone.
Swoosh swoosh... At that moment, two more figures flew in.
One figure was hot as the sun, shining like a round of sunlight, illuminating everything around.
The other figure was shrouded in mist, and it was vaguely discernible that it was a woman.
"The strong one from the Golden Crow Clan." Lin Feng recognized the man; he was the one who had made the Fire Kirin retreat.
The other woman shrouded in mist was unclear who she was.
"Brother Dongling, are you alright?" the woman asked.
"The headless knight is far stronger than imagined," said the strong one from the Ancient Sun Moon Sacred Land, his expression grim.
"The three of us together might be able to fight him," the strong one from the Golden Crow Clan said.
Boom... The three great abilities joined forces to attack the headless knight.
The force that seemed to destroy heaven and earth swept through the heavens.
The distant mountains shook from the impact.
"Opportunity." Many people rushed towards the twisted space-time.
Lin Feng and Sikong Zhaiyue were also among them. They grabbed each other and rushed into that distorted space. The next moment they felt the world spinning around them as a strong force pulled them far away.
After an unknowable amount of time, the endless darkness suddenly brightened, and Lin Feng and Sikong Zhaiyue were thrown out.
Swoosh.
However, the moment they were ejected from the space-time channel by the distorted space-time, before they had time to adjust, a cold light surged from within the mountain woods, rising to the sky at an extreme speed. It slashed toward the two of them, aiming to behead them. There were cultivators who had entered earlier, hiding at the exit of the distorted space-time, attacking Lin Feng and Sikong Zhaiyue, seeking to kill them on the spot.
