Chapter 198: Salted Fish at the End of the World
The wind was howling and the clouds were dark.
Anya City has completely become an isolated city.
In the farmlands outside the city, the crops that had not yet matured and the originally lush trees were all withered and yellow. They were not frozen to death, but their vitality had been usurped.
“Help—help!”
"Please, kind sir."
Outside the city gate, a group of hundreds of refugees with pale faces stood shivering in the cold wind, begging to be allowed to enter Anya City.
The soldiers on the city wall had no expression on their faces and remained indifferent to the refugees' cries.
It was getting dark and getting colder outside. The refugees huddled under the city wall, too cold to speak.
The soldiers on the city walls seemed to have reduced their patrols and defenses due to the severe cold, and there was not a single figure to be seen on the empty city walls.
At this moment, a small black insect suddenly crawled out from the body of a refugee who had been frozen. It was not afraid of the severe cold at all. It looked around for a while, then suddenly spread its wings and flew over the top of the city wall, but the defenders were unaware of it.
In a moment, the little black bug disappeared without a trace.
As if receiving a safety signal, hundreds of black insects emerged from the bodies of the dying, frozen, and even living refugees. They flew over the city walls in the darkness and headed towards the most crowded place in Anya City.
As long as they get into your body, great things can be accomplished.
But at this moment, a terrible aura burst out in the darkness, and nothing could be seen at all. All the invading black insects were killed, without leaving a single one.
The one who made the move was naturally Zhang Yang. He was now sitting on the top of the city wall, blending into the darkness. Within a radius of thirty miles inside and outside Anya City, nothing could escape his senses.
"That's right, if you come a few more times, I'll be rich."
On the top of the city wall, Zhang Yang chuckled, feeling very happy.
And in his eyes, the lines of kill information were like jumping notes, which was wonderful beyond words.
"You have successfully killed 415 parasitic monsters."
"You have successfully plundered 415 complete level 25 demon souls."
"You obtained 415 Grey Hope Fragments."
"You gain 20,150 units of demon blood."
——
"Golden scales!"
As Zhang Yang's mind moved again, the eighth trading mode of the golden scale was activated. On one end were the souls of a thousand alien parasitic insects, and on the other end were exactly ten thousand first-grade foundation-building pills.
"As I expected, I was right to take the risk and stay in this world. The gains in the third-order civilization battlefield are different. If it were my second-order civilization battlefield, I would get a lot of resources if I could gather enough resources to form the eighth trading mode."
"exchange!"
Ten thousand first-grade foundation-building pills were quickly deposited into the account.
Then Zhang Yang didn't hesitate and immediately ate all three hundred of them like eating beans!
The spiritual effects of these three hundred first-grade foundation-building pills are no longer able to have any effect on Zhang Yang's body. If he were seen by others, they would chase him around the world with a three-hundred-meter-long sword.
This kind of crazy behavior is what is meant by squandering natural resources.
But Zhang Yang didn't care. What he wanted was the purest spiritual energy inside these 300 first-grade foundation-building pills.
All in all, no matter how wasteful this is, the effect of taking a first-grade foundation-building pill is ten times better than Zhang Yang practicing on his own.
Almost, three hundred pills can provide him with 10 breaths of the purest innate spiritual energy, and it only takes half an hour, which is extremely fast.
Two days later, Zhang Yang had accumulated another 330 breaths of innate spiritual energy in his body. Counting the accumulation over the past three months, his innate spiritual energy had exceeded 500 breaths.
"breakthrough!"
Without any hesitation, Zhang Yang injected all of the 500 breaths of innate spiritual energy into the Soul Vein Sword Pill, raising the Soul Vein Sword Pill's level from (1/9) to (2/9), which is the second level.
In an instant, Zhang Yang felt a buzzing sound deep in his mind, followed by a series of nine clear sword sounds, circling his sea of soul with a strange rhythm.
Zhang Yang himself felt like he was flying, but it was his consciousness that entered the sea of souls. He saw three golden lights wandering around, which were the three invisible swords that appeared after the Soul Vein Sword Pill reached the second level.
This invisible sword does not exist when viewed with the naked eye, just like the naked eye cannot see the soul.
But now Zhang Yang is in his own sea of consciousness and soul, so he can see clearly.
Moreover, as soon as he entered the Sea of Souls, he automatically knew how to practice and control the three invisible swords.
"It seems that I did the right thing. Although sword cultivators cultivate swords, the soul vein is the most important thing. No wonder it is called the first life-saving sword pill for sword cultivators. As long as the soul vein sword pill is not broken, the soul will not be destroyed."
"But there are still different focuses in this method of controlling and practicing. One is to protect the soul, and the other is to leave the body. The former is for defense, and the latter is for attack. I took the risk of using the soul sword to float outside the body before, which is actually a very dangerous and pretentious behavior. If I encounter a truly powerful enemy, a fatal blow can destroy my soul sword."
"So, I have to open at least three heavenly veins, namely the soul vein, heart vein and mind vein, to have the ability to protect myself and fight. Fortunately, Zhao Xianyu's legacy is rich, and this is the beginning of an unprecedented chaos in this world, so I can take advantage of the situation."
Thinking like this, Zhang Yang withdrew from the sea of souls. Three invisible soul swords protected him within ten feet. He didn't need to worry about them, as they could operate on their own. As long as the enemy could not break through the three soul swords, they could not harm his soul.
Very useful.
After a short retreat, Zhang Yang stood up again from the top of the city wall. With a slight movement of his mind, an invisible heart sword shot out. He would have to rely on the heart sword to be on guard for the next two days.
The heart sword and the soul sword are different.
The Soul Sword is the guardian of the soul. Although its maximum attack range can reach one kilometer, in fact, if the Soul Sword is ten feet away from the main body, it will become very fragile. Therefore, when fighting, it is best not to use the Soul Sword.
The sword of the heart is used to break through demonic obstacles, evil thoughts, and all kinds of external evil spirits.
The maximum attack distance is five kilometers, and it can travel back and forth in a moment, killing the enemy invisibly without considering the factors of distance and time.
Otherwise, why is it said that the combat power above the extraordinary level is unattainable by the extraordinary level?
With just an invisible sword of the heart, Zhang Yang can kill an army of 10,000 extraordinary people if he has enough innate spiritual energy or magic power to support it.
But the Heart Sword also has the most obvious weakness, which is that its attack power is too weak. When encountering a supernatural being, it is basically difficult to cause fatal damage to the target. The damage of the Heart Sword is not even one-third of that of the Soul Sword.
Therefore, the biggest function of the Invisible Heart Sword is to deter and clean up! Deter the villains, deter people's hearts, deter spies, clean up the evil spirits, clean up the foul air, clean up the ghost spirits. In a word, this is an auxiliary, responsible for cleaning up the garbage.
"This world has sunk. Zhao Xianyu is either dead or has escaped. In any case, he has truly become a salted fish."
After retracting the invisible heart sword, Zhang Yang looked into the distance and said with emotion.
In the past three months, there has been no clear sky or bright red sun around Anya City. It is a complete doomsday scene.
The north is shrouded in the blood clouds of the demon clan, and the south is shrouded in the gray yin clouds of the ghost clan.
To the east, dark clouds were rolling. It was the main force of the demon clan attacking Storm City and the kingdom of God in the sky and underground day and night.
To the west, around Anya City, is a part of the invading army of the demon clan, who are fighting with the ghost clan for control of the Wood Demon Tower.
To be honest, the reason why Zhang Yang's Anya City can live so leisurely until now is that various forces are temporarily unable to settle accounts with him. Otherwise, he, a small new swordsman, really cannot hold his own.
"Actually, I'm quite surprised that the Wood Demon Tower has become so important. It may even affect the future direction of this war. However, I really have to retreat."
Zhang Yang was sighing with emotion, but at this moment, he suddenly had an idea, and the village-building order from the god that he was bound to had changed.
When I opened it, I saw an illusion. In the illusion, it was Storm City. It had turned into a hell of blood and fire. Countless demon soldiers, monster soldiers, and ghost soldiers attacked from three directions. At this moment, the kingdom of God on earth had fallen, and it was only a matter of time before the kingdom of God in heaven was breached.
Then, the illusion changed, and the huge throne in the kingdom of God in heaven appeared. This was originally the seat of Lame Robin's great-grandfather, the builder of Storm City, and the false god of Storm.
And now, Zhao Xianyu was sitting on it. There were no traces of battle on his body, but he was very weak. How could he not be weak? This was not the time two thousand years ago when he relied on a level 38 oracle to defeat the monsters, ghosts and demons.
At that time, the size of the armies of the three alien races was not much different from today's, but under the full-scale attack, it was difficult to even hurt Zhao Xianyu's skin and fur.
Who could have thought that in just two thousand years, this guy would already be on the verge of death.
"My Lord, long time no see."
Zhao Xianyu, who was sitting on the throne, spoke. It was normal that he could connect to Zhang Yang's divine village building order, because this divine village building order originally belonged to the God of Storms and had a great connection with the throne where Zhao Xianyu was sitting.
"Yeah, long time no see."
Zhang Yang said calmly, without much anger.
"My Lord, I am still the vanguard for the king. Seeing what happened to me today, I think you will be more cautious in the future. This can be regarded as a little compensation for my betrayal."
"However, I don't regret it, because this is a chaotic world where the strong are king. When you left me here, you should have thought that I would betray you. I, I just underestimated the enemy's deciphering ability. They actually spent two thousand years just to decipher my divination magic. My lord, can you imagine it?"
"This world is too cruel, too cruel, so cruel that I can't accept it now. Maybe from a certain perspective, I am a poor creature and a loser, but you, my lord, and the demons, monsters, and ghosts who are attacking me now, they are actually no different from you and me."
"My Lord, I think you must have seen that weird scene when you sneaked in, right? That world is so big, we and our world are like ants in front of it. I just wanted to take a chance. I thought I had a trump card in my hand, and I thought I was very strong. In the end, the reality is so fucking ironic."
"My lord, that's a farewell."
“May you go further.”
