Chapter 607: Ghost Town
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A ghost town!
This was Jiang Yi’s first impression on Fengdu City as he felt a strong sll of death. He even slled death on the aged voice just now, which was the sa as the one in the underground world beneath the west sea on the Stellarsky Continent.
That aged voice made his whole body shake, but that death sll caused his heart to quiver with cold. Living people were full of vigor; they could give up heat and possessed unlimited vitality. However, this city was dead—it slled of death everywhere. The cold and evil were the odor of this city.
The sky was completely invisible; boundless darkness was the eternal view. The black fog rolled in and overcast the sky and the ground. That was probably why Jiang Yi couldn’t detect this city with his divine perception.
There was light in the city. Along the two sides of the street, there were two lanterns identical to ones outside the city, with a 500-ter interval. The lanterns were lit with dim candles and swayed gently on the street, illuminating the entire city. However, the city appeared more ghastly because of the lanterns.
To Jiang Yi’s deepest horror, he couldn’t look into this city. In other words, his divine senses were useless here. The only thing he could rely on was his eyes.
He had fairly good eyesight. Unfortunately, it was really dark here so he could only see as far as 250 ters. He saw a wide long street in front of him, which was several hundred ters wide. Buildings were arranged orderly along two sides of the street and were all made up of black stones. There was nothing inside the buildings as though they were haunted houses. Everywhere exuded a desolate, chilly, and weird feeling.
“Hu-hu...”
That aged voice, which seed to belong to the ghost king, never sounded again; Jiang Yi let out a deep breath. He carried his long sword and slowly went forward. Since he was already here, there was no room to fall back to.
No matter what kind of fiendish demons were hiding in this city or who let out that aged voice just now—be it the ghost king, a powerful demon, or the king of hell, he only had two options. He either killed his way out or... die!
Sha-sha-sha...
His footsteps were very low, but it was still very clear on this quiet long street. The sound resonated on the street, which was especially spine-chilling.
However, Jiang Yi was extrely calm at this mont. He wasn’t scared at all. It was the sa to him regardless of how strange or horrifying this place was as he had no alternatives. If he didn’t carve out a way through, he had to die.
As he continued walking, he closed his eyes and entered the state of the Union of Heaven and Man!
Though the divine senses didn’t work, the Union of Heaven and Man was different. He beca one with heaven and earth and knew every fluctuation in this world, which was far more powerful than divine senses. For example, if he used the divine senses to detect the Soul-Devouring Crocodile along the Yellow Springs Path, he would only notice sothing when the Soul-Devouring Crocodile appeared and caused an oscillation of the space.
However, the Union of Heaven and Man was different. Even the slightest movent, without causing any space fluctuations, could be sensed by him. Thus, he could make judgnt easily and found ways to cope. Before the space fluctuated and the Soul-Devouring Crocodile appeared, his attack was already ready; and he would stay proactive.
With his eyes closed, he moved forward, step by step. He stopped after 500 ters. The street was not a straight line extending forward but turned into a cross, and an appalling picture appeared.
Dead bodies!
Dead bodies were everywhere. Streets, rooms, corners, roofs, and underground irrigation canals were sward with dead bodies. At a glance, there were at least thousands of them.
So were in war armor, so were in ordinary warrior robes, so were in ragged clothes... so had swords, axes, long sticks, bows and arrows in their hands. They were of different ages. There were old people and the young, n and won.
They only shared one thing in common—horror!
The whole body was pale and green, with no color. So corpses were covered with dried blood stains and ugly ruptured scars. So even turned, their nails and canine teeth grew longer; they looked exactly like zombies.
These corpses were surrounded by faint black vapor. Though one could hardly sll it, everything that was happening in this world right now couldn’t escape from his eyes as he had entered the Union of Heaven and Man. The surroundings were spooky and gave out a horrendous and horrifying atmosphere, which might also be caused by the black aura.
These black auras gave him a familiar feeling. They were the exact sa as those surrounding the Devil Star Vines and the dead soldiers in the underground world.
Fengdu City!
It was indeed a nether world. Even the most powerful martial artist would be frightened by this scene, and their combat power would be greatly reduced, especially for a woman. Even if she possessed omnipotent strength—in such circumstances, her soul would quiver with fear; and she would be too weak to wave the sword in her hand.
In fact...!
The fact that Yi Chan was stuck in the third round for so long had a lot to do with the horrible Fengdu City. Despite her almighty strength, she was still a 17- or 18-year-old young girl who grew up under the protection of her family. All won’s hearts were soft and fragile. She was doing okay that she wasn’t frightened to death by such a hellish situation.
She Fei could pass the first round because the She Clan had been practicing evil sorcery for generations. He ca into contact with such an evil and ugly thing from a young age. For him, this Fengdu City was no different from a random wild field. Naturally, he passed the city unimpeded.
As for Yin Ruobing who was the second one to pass the Fengdu City, Jiang Yi had to admit that this woman’s ntality was so strong. Of course, the fact that Yin Ruobing could detect Jiang Yi’s Union of Heaven and Man itself was already very strange. It was normal that so descendants of the Nine Thearchs had a very strong mind.
Jiang Yi returned to his calm after the initial shock. He forced himself to not regard these corpses as dead bodies, but demonic beasts and strange beasts. He split those zombies that were on his way into half using his sword.
He took a step forward, and the situation in front changed again. The dead bodies awoke.
That’s right!
All the corpses moved at this mont. Those in the room crawled out, those in the trenches climbed up, those on the street stood up, and those on the roof jumped down.
There was still no trace of life on all the dead bodies, but the black gas surrounding them got denser and denser. The weapons in their hands were covered by the black vapor and illuminated with a black light.
They showed no expression on their faces and no aura around their bodies. They just silently marched forward and sward to Jiang Yi at a speed that was even comparable to that of the Vajra Realm martial expert.
“Co on! I am not even afraid of living monsters, let alone the dead ones. Since you have been dead once, then I’ll let you die again!”
Jiang Yi roared angrily in his heart. The deadly danger sparked his innate desire to survive. His soul was shrouded by a frenetic fighting spirit; balls of earth fire erged from his body, surrounding him. There were only twenty balls of ghost flas left, which were completely insufficient. He understood the power of the black gas. He was almost turned into a zombie by the black aura in the underground world back then, so naturally, he put up his defense imdiately.
“Kill!”
He gave a yell in his heart. The body turned to a faint image and darted forward; the fire dragon sword glowed with red light and was slamd down all of a sudden. Tens of thousands of fire dragons whizzed out, illuminating the sky with a red color.
Chi! Chi!
The little fire dragons carried fierce energy and shot forward. The army of the dead sward here, completely ignored the attack from the little fire dragons. On three long streets farther away, countless dead n woke up and rushed towards Jiang Yi. They appeared so dark and dense with no boundaries as though they were going to subrge Jiang Yi.
