He was surprised to find that the number of humans living here was far more than 100,000.

If it is true as Sophia said, that this group of people had no choice but to be killed, then it would be cruel.

He retracted his gaze and focused on the golden knight at the front of the crowd. Although this person did not become a Soul Knight, dark energy was surging in his body, which was somewhat similar to Carlos's situation at the beginning.

However, this person is able to control his emotions freely, and is a bit like Lu Lans today.

In short, it seems that this group of people cannot live in harmony with normal humans, and they cannot be reformed.

If there is only one option left, there is nothing we can do.

Suddenly, just as Luo Ning was thinking, a huge pressure came from the northeast.

Luo Ning chuckled and said, "Looks like we have a match."

"McConn, Sofia, you guys continue to control the town, and Rydal, you and I will come."

As soon as he finished speaking, he and Redal rushed into the air, and in the blink of an eye they arrived above the wilderness outside Soul-Calming Bay. At this time, a tall figure engulfed in flames appeared not far in front of them.

Roning was quite surprised. He didn't expect that the first enemy to arrive at the Soul-Realming Bay was not the so-called Shadow Lord Salonas, but Phoenix, whom he had fought with in the Star Continent.

Although it was the other party's clone, its appearance in human form was exactly the same, and Roning could tell it at a glance.

“You’re here!”

Phoenix teased, "I didn't expect you to be so keen on dying!"

As he spoke, he looked out over the Soul-Calming Bay, knowing that the defenders there had been wiped out by Ronin's men. If he didn't come, this bay would probably become a human base.

Thinking of this, Phoenix couldn't help but curse Salonas in his heart.

The Demon Lord has already issued a warning, and he also informed Salonas of this possibility several days in advance, but the other party was full of confidence and did not take it seriously, which led to the current situation.

If a sage was left behind to guard Soul-Realizing Bay, the situation would probably be different.

Facing such ridicule, Luo Ning couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's only been a few years, have you already forgotten the pain of losing your clone? Haha, come to think of it, I haven't killed a great sage yet!"

Now the only achievement left on the achievement panel is [Lord of Killing], which requires him to kill extraordinary units at the great sage level.

In addition, all levels of the four achievements of fame, prosperous population, conquering cities and fortune have been completed.

Luo Ning didn't know whether there would be a next level after killing the great sage.

However, considering the rewards at this level, the attribute points alone amount to 200,000 points, which is enough for him to complete the magician's (46055/225000) progress to the maximum.

Yes, he will break through to the great sage level.

The most powerful being in history was Arian, who killed the Storm Lord Bagdana more than a thousand years ago, but his strength was only that of a great sage.

No one knows whether there are stronger beings above this realm. If you can kill Phoenix here, you will know the answer.

“Arrogant!”

Phoenix emitted a raging flame, burning the entire sky red: "Do you think that you can shout in front of my real body just because you have defeated my clone?"

The raging flames turned into a raging storm that swept towards Ronin and Ridal. The scorching temperature caused the green plants on the ground below to wilt instantly, and then burst into flames.

However, Roning did not dodge or evade. The perfected Anti-Nothingness enveloped him and Redal. No matter how the flames hit him, they all turned into nothingness a few meters in front of him.

“We don’t get along.”

Luo Ning rushed out with the Flowing Flame Sword in hand, "Your attributes are perfectly restrained by me!"

With a slash of the sword, the space in front became distorted, and the incomparable power tore through the flames in the sky and fell on Phoenix.

The Flame King's expression changed slightly, and a dark light shone on his armor, as if a demon god had revealed a strange figure.

With a bang, the sword light slashed at the dark light and shadow, and although it tore it apart, it also eliminated all its power.

Phoenix was knocked back hundreds of meters by this attack. "Impossible, how can you have such strong power?"

He couldn't believe it.

When his clone first landed on the Star Continent, he clearly sensed Roning's strength and was extremely certain that he was just an ordinary sage.

If a sage wants to acquire the strength of a great sage, even with the help of external forces, it will probably take dozens or even hundreds of years.

How long has it been since then, and Luo Ning has become a great sage?

"I don't believe it!"

Scales grew all over Phoenix's body, and his tail vertebrae extended all the way to form a long and thick tail. In an instant, he turned into a dragon man.

At the same time, the terrifying black shadow expanded around him, and Roning's vision suddenly fell into darkness.

However, for someone like him, visual darkness is no longer important, as he can still clearly perceive his surroundings.

Whoosh~ Phoenix's figure disappeared from the spot, and appeared behind Roning in an instant. His dragon tail was like a steel whip, lashing Roning's neck fiercely.

If it is hit, even if it is continuous, it will be twisted by the huge force and cause great damage.

Luo Ning's heart was shocked. He was unable to eliminate the physical attack, so he could only raise his arms to block it.

Under the stimulation of fighting spirit, dark blue dragon scales appeared on his arms.

This is Simon and Carlos working together to create defensive armor using dragon scales.

Boom! The dragon's tail, like a steel whip, lashed at the dragon scale armor, emitting a dazzling fire. Roning was knocked back by the huge force, and the huge force made his arm feel uncomfortable.

"Phoenix's body is very strong. Although the dragon scale armor is strong and solid, it can be twisted and deformed by a blow."

Roning estimated that after two or three more hits, the arm guard would lose its defensive effect.

"Heavy Hit Explosion!"

Rydar's figure flapped and came to the upper side of Phoenix, and punched out, stirring up the darkness around him.

But the other party disappeared like a ghost.

Roning was alert, his mental power permeating the entire space. He keenly detected the spatial fluctuations coming from his right hand side.

“Here!”

The vacuum strangulation technique was used, directly acting on the half of Phoenix's body that had just been revealed. He felt as if he was trapped in a whirlpool, with the force of strangulation tearing his body apart.

Boom~ The energy storm dispersed the dark space, and Phoenix exploded backward. Although his extraordinary physical strength allowed him to withstand the vacuum strangulation technique, the flipped dragon scales also caused him some injuries.

Although only three or four rounds of fighting had passed, Phoenix already knew the strength of the man in front of him, who was definitely at the level of a great sage.

Moreover, the attack just launched by the red-haired man next to the opponent was definitely at the sage level.

This group of guys who came from far away Star Continent have changed the delicate balance of Crescent Continent.

At this moment, two forces of pressure came from the sky.

Salonas came to Phoenix with a gloomy face. He had just observed the battle here with his mental power, but he did not expect the situation to be like this.

On the other hand, the white-haired Ryan smiled happily, "Ronin, we finally meet!"

Ryan Sears came to Ronin and said, "I knew you were strong, but I didn't know you were strong enough to fight Phoenix without losing."

He said, "'Shadow Travel' is his specialty. It has caused a lot of trouble for us over the years. I didn't expect that you would be able to catch his trail so quickly the first time you encountered him."

Roning smiled and nodded in greeting. This was the first time that the leaders of the two continents met.

"I am more sensitive to spatial fluctuations, so I was able to capture it."

In recent years, Luo Ning has been studying the field of fire, vacuum strangulation, and the "space reversal" ability unlocked by the Time Flow Flame Sword when he was promoted to the Great Sage, and his perception of the power of space has become more and more profound.

Phoenix's shadow travel is a manifestation of spatial ability, so Roning was able to deal with it more easily.

"Ryan, let's join forces today and destroy these two demon kings of the demon clan here!"

"Hahaha, that's exactly what I meant!"

As Ryan spoke, a faint wave spread from him, which seemed to be the power of some kind of domain.

As the guardian of the City of Dawn and one of the leaders of the human race, although Ryan is only a half-step great sage, he has been deeply involved in the field of magic over the years and has mastered many abilities.

"What should we do?" Salonas asked in a low voice.

Phoenix looked unwilling. He thought it should be no problem for him to deal with Roning alone since he hadn't used his full strength yet.

But Salonas was definitely no match for the siege of Ryan and Redal.

"The situation has become unbalanced. We need to report to the Demon Lord and formulate a new plan."

Phoenix waved his hand, and a terrifying demonic shadow descended from the void, covering him and Salonas.

Is this a sign of leaving? "Kill!"

Roning's figure moved instantly, and the power of the world surged, intensifying the power of the killing move.

At the same time, Redar and Ryan also attacked almost at the same time.

Three attacks arrived at the same time, and the incredible power swept up everything around them. Everything within a radius of several miles was destroyed and swallowed up. The terrifying pressure swept in all directions. The people in Zhenhun Bay were all overwhelmed by this momentum and had an urge to kneel down and worship.

But even with the combined force of the attack, the terrifying demon shadow still activated the light of teleportation in time, teleporting Phoenix and Salonas away at the moment of collapse.

"Escaped!" Luo Ning was a little unwilling.

Over the years, he, Belora, and Elrond have also studied the teleportation array of Wubei Territory. Up to now, he still has not fully mastered this ability, which shows the difficulty of space teleportation.

Perhaps, with the help of the library in the City of Dawn and guidance from Ryan, a teleportation array could be constructed.

"They should have been teleported back to their base deep in the Flame Canyon."

Ryan smiled and said, "Luoning, your arrival has brought hope to the Crescent Continent. We never thought we could take back this Soul-Calming Bay so easily!"

As he spoke, he bowed to Roning, "I would like to express my highest gratitude to you on behalf of the countless heroes who have died here over the years!"

Luo Ning quickly helped him up and said, "Eradication of the demons is not only the responsibility of the human race of the New Moon Continent, but also the obligation of us people of the Star Continent."

He sensed that the enemies in Bolt Town seemed to have received orders from Phoenix and Salonas and were now retreating, knowing that the war was initially over.

The later the game progresses, the more the confrontation and victory or defeat between the top warriors determine the direction of a normal war.

If Phoenix and Salonas could be killed today, there would only be one Storm Lord left on the Crescent Continent, and it would be much easier for them to deal with him.

"We need to figure out a way to limit their ability to teleport."

Luo Ning suggested: "I wonder if Dawn City has any research in this area?"

"We have also been actively researching space blocking capabilities over the years, but as it involves time and space, it has always been in a state of collapse and has not been successful."

Ryan said, extending an invitation: "Just now you said that you are sensitive to space, maybe you can join our research."

"With great pleasure!"

The two exchanged some more words before landing on the ground.

Zhenhun Bay, the prosperous port city that once connected two continents, is now finally under the control of the human race again, and will surely prosper again in the future.

"They are beyond help."

Ryan looked at the enslaved people in Zhenhun Bay who were still holding weapons to resist Ronin's team.

Faced with Roning's proposal to reform this group of people, he, as the leader of the City of Dawn, could do nothing to help.

"The power of nightmares surges in their bodies, their souls have been tamed, and their thoughts have long been branded with the mark of 'everything for the Wuhun Clan'. No matter what method you use, you can't make them become normal humans. Even their descendants are the same."

Ryan shook his head. "So, granting them death is the greatest mercy to them, and it is also a manifestation of responsibility to our soldiers and the people."

Luo Ning couldn't help but sigh, "Okay, I understand!" (End of this chapter)
