Chapter 124 The Southern Border is in Crisis, and the Variable of the Purple Light's Descent

Southern border, Sunset Pass.

This southern gate of Beili once witnessed the defeat and despair of the 300,000-strong Nanjue army under the supreme divine power of Xiao Se's arrow that "broke the formation".

That war was regarded as a miracle by the people and soldiers of Beili, and the names of Lei Wujie and Wushuang resounded throughout the southern border, becoming war gods in the hearts of the Beili soldiers.

But just a month later, Sunset Pass was once again shrouded in the shadow of war.

Moreover, this time the dark clouds are thicker and more suffocating than ever before.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The dull thuds of impact, like the footsteps of death, struck the towering obsidian walls of Sunset Pass.

The surface of the city wall is covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and rubble keeps falling, as if it could collapse at any moment.

"Hold on! Everyone hold on! Anyone who dares to retreat a single step will be court-martialed!"

The butcher Ye Xiaoying was covered in blood, roaring like an enraged lion on the city wall.

The iron spear in his hand was already dulled, and there were several large holes in his gold-threaded soft armor, with blood staining half of his body.

But he still stood firm on the front line of the city wall, like a pillar of strength.

However, despite his desperate commands, the Northern defenders on the city wall could not suppress the deep despair in their eyes.

Because those attacking the city can no longer be called "people".

On the vast plains outside Sunset Pass, the massive Southern Jue army stretched as far as the eye could see, like a surging tide.

But what was most terrifying was not the ordinary soldiers clad in heavy armor, but the strange square formation at the very front!

Those are tens of thousands of "undead"!

They were wearing tattered Nanjue military uniforms, and some of their limbs were even mutilated, with intestines and internal organs dragging on the ground, emitting a nauseating stench.

But their eyes gleamed with an eerie purple light, and they let out beast-like growls as they launched a frenzied charge toward the city wall, tireless and fearless of death!

"Fire arrows! Rolling logs and boulders! Crush these monsters to death!"

A hail of arrows rained down like locusts, turning the first few rows of "undead" into pincushions.

Huge logs and heavy boulders crashed down with a whooshing sound, crushing their bodies into a bloody pulp.

However, a devastating scene unfolded.

Those "undead" who were riddled with arrows seemed unaffected and continued climbing the city walls despite being covered in arrows.

Those mangled limbs, smashed into a bloody pulp, wriggled and reassembled themselves under the pull of a strange purple light, and stood up again!

"Unkillable...absolutely unkillable!"

"What kind of monsters are these?!"

The psychological defenses of the northern defenders are crumbling little by little.

Faced with such an enemy that defies common sense and is inexhaustible, even the most elite warriors would feel powerless and fearful.

"Damn it! Where did these monsters come from?!"

In a corner of the city wall, Lei Wujie leaned against the battlement, panting heavily. His signature red clothes had turned dark red, making it impossible to tell whether it was his own blood or the blood of his enemies.

He just charged down the city wall and fought his way in and out of the enemy ranks seven times.

With the raging karmic fire empowered by the "Red Lotus Calamity" sword pendant, he did indeed burn many "undead".

But he discovered that as long as the eerie purple light persisted, the monsters that had been burned to ashes could even reform into an even more terrifying purple flame form and continue their attacks.

"Lei Wujie, are you alright?"

Wushuang floated down from mid-air, his face as pale as paper.

Thirteen flying swords hovered around him, their blades covered in a purple, sticky substance that sizzled and corroded.

"I'm not going to die yet."

Lei Wujie wiped the blood from his face. "Wushuang, even your Great Ming Vermilion Bird can't cut through that purple light?"

Wushuang shook his head with a wry smile.

"I can't cut it off. The power of the laws contained in that purple light is a level higher than my sword intent. Although the Great Ming Vermilion Bird is domineering, every time it cuts down those monsters, the purple light will backfire on my soul along with the sword energy. If I force it to be used, I'm afraid I will lose control of the sword box and suffer a backlash."

The two looked at each other and saw the heaviness in each other's eyes.

They were all young geniuses who had reached the semi-divine realm, and they originally thought they could dominate the battlefield in the southern border and make great achievements. But unexpectedly, reality taught them a cruel lesson.

This world is far more complex and dangerous than they imagined.

"What exactly is this purple light?"

Lei Wujie gritted his teeth as he looked at the undead legion flashing with purple light outside the city.

"If the source of this purple light isn't eliminated, Sunset Pass will fall sooner or later. Once Sunset Pass falls, the Southern Jue army will advance unimpeded, and Tianqi City will be in danger!"

Wushuang frowned and looked up at the rear of Nanjue's army.

There stood a massive black tent, from which the eerie purple light that enveloped the entire battlefield emanated.

I'm going to take a look.

Wushuang suddenly spoke, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"Are you crazy?!"

Lei Wujie grabbed him, "That's the heart of an army of hundreds of thousands! Going there alone is suicide!"

"Someone has to try. If these monsters break through the walls, we're all doomed anyway."

Wushuang patted the sword case on his back, took a deep breath, and said, "Moreover, the Master said that the Vermilion Bird of the Great Ming Dynasty needs the blood of the strongest to be sharpened. That guy hiding in the shadows should be qualified."

Looking at Wushuang's determined eyes, Lei Wujie knew he couldn't persuade him.

"Fine! Since you're going, I'll go crazy with you!" Lei Wujie wiped the blood from his face, and the Killing Fear Sword reignited its raging flames. "Let's, brothers, wipe out that damn Purple Light's lair!"

"You don't need to go."

Just as the two were preparing to die a heroic death, a deep and majestic voice suddenly rang out behind them.

The two were startled and turned around abruptly.

Behind the city gate of Sunset Pass, a dark mass of steel cavalry appeared out of nowhere!

They were covered in heavy silver armor, and even their warhorses were clad in heavy armor.

They made no sound, but the palpable aura of killing intent that gathered together rose into the sky as if it were a tangible force, even causing the Southern Jue army outside the city to pause for a moment.

Snow Dragon Rider!

The most elite and mysterious ace cavalry in the North!

At the very front of that army, a lone rider rode ahead of the rest.

The newcomer was dressed in a bright yellow five-clawed dragon robe, with a familiar snow fox fur coat draped over his shoulders.

He held in his hand a peerless longbow, entirely purple-gold in color and flashing with lightning.

His left eye was as deep as an abyss, while his right eye shone with golden light, making him look like a true dragon emperor surveying the human world!

"Desolate?!"

"emperor?!"

Lei Wujie and Wushuang exclaimed in surprise at the same time, their eyes filled with unbelievable joy.

They never expected that Xiao Se would personally lead the expedition, and that he would arrive so quickly!

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

When Ye Xiaoying and all the soldiers of Beili on the city wall saw that familiar and majestic figure, they all knelt on one knee and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"

The morale, which was on the verge of collapse, was reignited like a volcanic eruption!

This is their king! This is their faith in the North!

As long as the Emperor is alive, Sunset Pass will never fall!

"Rise."

Xiao Se's voice wasn't loud, but with the support of his profound inner strength, it clearly resonated throughout the entire battlefield.

He looked up at the battered Lei Wujie and Wushuang on the city wall, a faint smile playing on his lips: "You two brats, weren't you quite the big talkers back at Changqing Tower? What, without Master's protection, you can't even handle a bunch of inhuman freaks?"

"Your Majesty, that's not a fair way to put it," Lei Wujie pouted, feeling wronged. "That purple light is too strange; it can't be killed or burned. Why don't you try it yourself?"

"Let's give it a try."

Xiao Se sneered, his gaze sweeping over the city wall and locking onto the black tent behind the Southern Jue army.

He slowly raised the "Thunderclap Bow" in his hand, and his right hand lightly pulled the bowstring.

"Buzz—!!!"

A vaster and purer imperial dragon aura, even greater than that in Tianqi City, surged into the longbow like a mighty river. The purple-gold lightning on the bow crackled wildly, emitting a deafening roar!

"roar--!"

A huge phantom of a five-clawed golden dragon appeared behind Xiao Se, letting out a long roar that shook the soul!

"break!"

The desolate bowstring is loosened.

A beam of purple-gold light, as thick as a bucket, carrying the power to destroy everything, pierced the sky and headed straight for the Southern Jue's central army tent!

This arrow was several times more powerful than when it shattered "Thor's Wrath"! Where it passed, even space itself was slightly distorted. Those Nanjue soldiers and "Undead" who stood in front of the beam of light didn't even have time to react; they were instantly vaporized into nothingness!

"So strong!"

"As expected of His Majesty!"

The soldiers of Beili erupted in thunderous cheers.

however.

Just as the purple-gold beam of light was about to strike the black tent.

Above the tent, the eerie purple light that had been shrouding the battlefield suddenly began to churn violently!

"Hehehehe..."

A chilling, eerie laugh emanated from the purple light.

Immediately afterwards, a giant hand formed entirely of purple energy emerged from the purple light and actually grabbed the purple-gold light arrow that was powerful enough to destroy the world!

"Snap!"

With a screeching sound, the giant purple hand exerted force and actually crushed the light arrow that Xiao Se had shot into powder!

"What?!"

The cheers on the city wall came to an abrupt halt, and everyone gasped in shock.

Even Xiao Se's earth-shattering arrow could be crushed with bare hands? What kind of monster is inside that tent?!

"The new emperor of Beili? He's nothing special."

A cold, mechanical, and even somewhat inhuman voice slowly emanated from the black tent, echoing throughout the battlefield.

"Hand over Su Changqing. Otherwise, at Sunset Pass today, not a single chicken or dog will be spared!"

Upon hearing the name "Su Changqing," Xiao Se's face instantly darkened. He knew that the other party was after his master, and judging from that move just now, the other party's strength was definitely above his own, perhaps even surpassing the realm of the Divine Ascension Profound Realm!

"Who are you?" Xiao Se gripped the Thunder Bow tightly and asked in a deep voice.

"who I am?"

The tent flap was slowly lifted.

A man dressed in a purple robe and wearing a strange purple crystal mask walked out. With each step he took, the ground beneath his feet was stained with an eerie purple, and the surrounding Nanjue soldiers knelt on the ground, not daring to even breathe.

"I am a messenger of Heaven's will. I am ordered to eliminate the anomalies!"

The man in purple robes slowly raised his hand and pointed to the desolate scene atop Sunset Pass.

"You bear the traces of that anomaly. Since you refuse to hand him over, let's start by cleaning yourself."

Before he could finish speaking...

The figure of the purple-robed man vanished from the spot in an instant!

"Oh no! Protect His Majesty!" Ye Xiaoying exclaimed in alarm, trying to rush down the city wall.

But it was too late.

The purple-robed man moved with incredible speed, seemingly disregarding spatial distance. In the next instant, he appeared before Xiao Se, his hand, shimmering with an eerie purple light, aimed straight for Xiao Se's throat!

too fast!

It was so fast that even Xiao Se, who was half-asleep, didn't have time to react! He could only watch helplessly as the deadly hand got closer and closer to him.

"Am I going to die here...?" A bitter feeling flashed through Xiao Se's heart. He had only been emperor for a few days, and he hadn't even paid off the debts of Changqing Tower yet.

At this critical moment of life and death!

"Bang!"

A very crisp popping sound.

The purple hand, which was less than an inch from Xiao Se's throat, suddenly seemed to have hit an invisible wall of sighs and was forcefully bounced away!

Followed by.

A lazy, somewhat impatient voice rang out behind Xiao Se.

"Hey Boss Xiao, you're being a really pathetic emperor. You have to rely on me, your boss, to save the day when you need to get into a fight. Shouldn't the interest on my 1.5 million taels of gold go up a bit?"

I heard this sound.

Xiao Se, Lei Wujie, Wushuang, and even Ye Xiaoying on the city wall.

Everyone's eyes lit up instantly, and the despair in their hearts vanished, replaced by an indescribable ecstasy and sense of security!

They knew that voice all too well!

"Sir!" Xiao Se turned around excitedly.

Behind him, a void rift had appeared out of nowhere.

Su Changqing, wearing that familiar blue robe and holding a dripping cleaver (he had just been cutting fruit for Xiao Nuomi), slowly walked out of the crack.

He didn't even glance at the purple-robed man who had been flung away, but instead walked up to Lei Wujie and kicked him in an annoyed manner.

"How did you get your tattered cotton-padded coat so dirty? If you don't wash it properly when you get home, I'll deduct three months' salary!"

"Brother-in-law! You're finally here!" Lei Wujie wasn't angry at all; instead, he hugged Su Changqing's leg and almost cried.

Su Changqing kicked him away in disgust before turning his head to look at the purple-robed man who had regained his balance and was staring at him warily.

"A messenger of Heaven? To eliminate anomalies?"

Su Changqing's lips curled into a mocking sneer as he raised the kitchen knife in his hand and pointed it at the other person's nose.

"A few days ago, I plucked the eyeball of a self-proclaimed 'Heavenly Dao Monitor' from the sky and stomped on it. What, are you the eye boogers that fell out of that eye? Coming here to play the big shot?"

This statement came out.

The entire room fell silent.

Did they gouge out the eyeballs of the Heavenly Dao?

If someone else said that, everyone would think he's crazy.

But these words came from Su Changqing's mouth.

For some reason, everyone thinks... this is absolutely true!

Upon hearing this, the purple-robed man's eyes narrowed sharply beneath his mask, and an overwhelming surge of fear and rage erupted from him.

"You...you really are the villain who stole the origin of the world! Today, I, in the name of Heaven, will judge you!"

The purple-robed man roared, and his entire body surged with purple light, transforming into a hundred-foot-tall purple demon god phantom. With earth-shattering power, it slammed down on Su Changqing!

"Judging me?"

Faced with this terrifying blow that was enough to destroy the entire Sunset Pass, Su Changqing simply shook his head dismissively.

He slowly raised the cleaver in his hand, which was stained with fruit juice.

"Since you like the Heavenly Messenger so much..."

"Then I'll use this vegetable-cutting knife to send you to see your Heavenly Lord!"

"The Calamity of All Gods - Fifth Form!"

"Slay the Heavens!"
