Wang Zheng, who was moving forward, squatted down slightly, exerted force with both legs, and after a roar, stomped his right foot hard on the ground.
In an instant, he stepped on the hard granite floor, leaving several deep marks.
At the same time, he shot out like an arrow, raised his hand and slashed across the stone bridge, his long sword unleashing intense flames that instantly cleared the bridge.
Once Wang Zheng landed safely, he shouted into Ke An's earpiece, "Get off the shore!"
Looking at his spiritual energy value, which had returned to 120,000, Wang Zheng sighed inwardly.
'I guess I'm just destined to be poor; I simply can't retain any spiritual energy.'
But what can I do? Am I just going to stand by and watch so many people behind me die?
There are no reinforcements... If I can't hold them off, the entire city will die!
Wang Zheng gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly:
Damn it! If I couldn't see the horror here, I could comfortably desert, but now so many lives are right in front of me, how can I not save them!
Having made up his mind, Wang Zheng leaped onto the stone bridge railing. He closed his eyes tightly, raised the bone knife high above his head, and chanted incessantly:
"Use only half, only half, only half, there's still the other side, don't use too much force..."
Instantly, towering red and black flames surged up from Wang Zheng's tall body once again, then coiled up his arm, extending far upwards along the emerald green bone knife, and condensed into a huge black and red longsword above his head.
Wang Zheng stared intently at his data panel, where half of the spiritual energy had vanished in an instant. He estimated that the time was almost right, so he swung his flaming longsword down fiercely.
"Die!!!"
With a thunderous roar, the massive Candle Flame Blade and the bone blade in Wang Zheng's hand slashed down simultaneously, transforming into a towering beam of fiery light in mid-air.
It then instantly broke free from Wang Zheng's control, roaring like a dragon as it hurtled towards the strange beasts crammed together in the riverbed.
The beasts that were still charging wildly seemed to be stunned by the sudden attack, and for a moment they stood there dumbfounded, letting the flaming longsword crash into them with terrifying force.
Then, upon feeling the intense heat of the massive fire blade, they suddenly realized what was happening, and their faces showed extreme fear.
They didn't even care what was happening; they rushed forward, trying to escape the river that had been shrouded in mist.
Under extreme heat, the surrounding air was instantly sucked out, and the massive airflow was compressed, emitting a hissing and howling sound, accompanied by the roars of strange beasts, like the wailing of ghosts and wolves.
"Boom!"
As that terrifying blade slashed fiercely into the bodies of those strange beasts, a deafening roar suddenly echoed through the narrow river channel, as if the entire city had trembled.
Countless plumes of smoke rose from that area, and scalding lava mixed with thick black mist gushed out, enveloping half of the riverbed.
A deafening roar echoed across the entire riverbank, sending countless stones and silt flying far and wide.
The hundreds of strange beasts were instantly killed by the fire blade, and under the attack of [Nine Yin Candlelight], they were instantly torn to pieces and exploded.
Then, accompanied by a series of shrill screams, it was quickly burned to ashes.
But this was only the beginning. The enormous fire blade did not stop after burning all the strange beasts within its attack range; it continued to surge forward along the river with overwhelming power.
In just a few seconds, it traversed a distance of nearly two kilometers, eventually transforming into a raging heatwave that burned fiercely along the river.
As the crimson and black flames spread further and further, the surface of the river finally could not withstand the scorching heat and began to emit wisps of steam.
Moreover, this water vapor turns into steam in just a few seconds, eventually rising up to form a cloud of white mist, which then bursts open under high temperature and pressure.
By this time, the river surface had already become turbulent due to the scorching flames, and the river water had vaporized and disappeared, revealing the charred brown riverbed.
The scorching heat almost turned the air within a few meters into a liquid state, as viscous as gel.
After the explosion subsided, the eerie black flames lingered for a straight line of seven or eight kilometers outward from the arched bridge.
At the same time, Wang Zheng, who unleashed this earth-shattering strike, felt a blur before his eyes and staggered back several steps before barely managing to regain his balance.
If it weren't for the Awakened Ones on the other side of the bridge constantly bombarding his path, Wang Zheng would have fallen into the beast tide by now.
Although it wasn't a big deal for him, the soldiers on the other side wanted to create a better working environment for Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng looked at the spiritual energy value on the data panel, which had instantly dropped from 120,000 to just over 60,000. He felt weak all over, as if all his spiritual energy had been drained in an instant.
However, soon after, as the strange beasts in the river were devoured by the [Nine Yin Candlelight], invisible streams of energy surged into Wang Zheng's body, and his spiritual energy limit jumped up again.
It has risen to a certain point.
Although this strike cost him tens of thousands of spiritual energy points, Wang Zheng was in an unprecedentedly good mood. Faced with the black flames still burning on the river, those beasts that seemed to never know how to retreat finally knew fear.
