Chapter 105: Cremation on the Spot

Chapter 105: Cremation on the Spot

“Send me there!” Han Jiangxue asked anxiously.

At this moment, everyone finally knew that she was not really afraid of death, but because there was someone she had to take care of.

That someone was now being held captive and carried by the huge cat which was flying across the White Ghouls with no consideration of its life.

Who’s that woman Second Last?

Her actions...

What kind of a physique must she have to do that?

What kind of courage and faith must she have?

Han Jiangxue absolutely did not believe that Jiang Xiaopi was willing to go to the Holy Ground out of his own accord. She felt that the evil woman must have coerced him into dashing into the center of the dangerous spiral!

Damn it, even if you want to bring a Medical Awakened, you should at least bring one who’s competent enough.

Why are you bringing a sixteen-year-old kid with you?

He only Awakened three months ago!

“Jiangxue, don’t act rashly,” Xia Yan said concernedly while grabbing Han Jiangxue.

“Please send me there,” Han Jiangxue said to the Guardian, 192, while ignoring Xia Yan. This time, she used the word “please”.

“Han Jiangxue, calm down!” Xia Yan barked.

Han Jiangxue didn’t get upset and simply said something that was rather heartbreaking, though it was a simple truth. “I only have him.”

“You...” Xia Yan was suddenly speechless.

The Guardian of The Night 192 said, “Second Last definitely thought of what I did. She must have gone to stop the mercenaries underground. If she’s still there, you guys will definitely be able to leave!”

Her words gave everyone a huge boost of confidence.

After all, they had just witnessed Second Last’s amazing techniques and realized just how far the physical limits of humans could be pushed.

178 said, “I’ll go with you.”

Xia Yan stomped her feet and cussed. “If I die, so be it.”

Li Weiyi was slightly stunned. He could no longer control the situation now because staying and escaping were equally dangerous.

After all, the temporarily-formed team had taken up all the manpower. If Li Weiyi were to protect 192 by himself, his odds of surviving would be particularly low too.

Li Weiyi immediately interjected. “We’ll go together.”

Hai Tianqing took a deep breath and said, “192, you...”

“Let me stall some time for you guys.” 178 suddenly retreated to 192’s side and stared at the White Ghouls that were surging forwards. He finally changed his decision.

“It’s my pleasure,” 192 said, after which his Star Map began to show in front of his body. A Gold Quality star slot lit up all of a sudden, and at the next moment, a thunderstorm blew towards them.

A gust of wind formed beneath his feet abruptly and blew them away.

The numerous White Ghouls surging from all directions covered the entire place.

Meanwhile, 192 seemed to have failed to see the ferocious White Ghouls as he continued to control the wind and blew everyone away.

The group of people was blown upside down and rolled around the wind.

Xia Yan turned around and looked over, only to see that 178 and 192 were engulfed by the White Ghouls.

178 managed to overturn groups of White Ghouls.

192 had a stable output environment and blew everyone away steadily.

There were no issues with their abilities and skills. The problem was that there were simply too many White Ghouls and they couldn’t persist on at all.

“Oh my god...” Jiang Xiao threw his arms around Second Last’s neck. When they were climbing the snow mountain, he could still persist on for a little while and maintain his balance by holding onto Second Last’s shoulders. At this moment, Second Last was shuttling and flying quickly. Jiang Xiao had no choice but to hug her tightly and maintain his balance.

Sometimes, the tremendous changes in Second Last’s pace made Jiang Xiao feel afraid that the military belt would be broken.

Second Last didn’t pay attention to Jiang Xiao’s words as her Star Map began to ignite with a whizzing sound.

The silver star slot in her Star Map flashed, and at the next moment, Jiang Xiao finally got to experience what it was like to advance.

He got a glimpse of what it was like to be shrouded in Star Power.

Second Last stepped on the heads of two White Ghouls and leaped upwards. She then flipped around in the air and proceeded to step on them.

Not only was her body covered in Star Power, but Jiang Xiao was also surrounded by Star Power. She stepped on the shoulders of the White Ghouls and climbed up, causing their flesh to be mushed up.

At the instant that her feet touched the ground, the explosive flame burst out.

—Silver Quality Star Technique, Scorch

At the same time, outside the Holy Ground.

“Pay attention to the enemy,” Han Jiangxue shouted loudly.

“No, after landing, run directly into the Holy Ground,” Hai Tianqing said all of a sudden.

Everyone froze for a moment, but two illusory scepters appeared in his hand.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Although the scepter was an illusory shadow, the Star Power that was contained in it made a loud noise.

The blue gemstone on top of the meter-long scepter was extremely dazzling.

The imaginary scepter was pierced right through the White Ghouls’ bodies and the rich Star Power immediately blasted the White Ghouls away, forming a deep pit in the ground.

Whizz...

The electric current diffused out and hit the bodies of the White Ghouls while the blue electrical net continued to expand. The White Ghouls that were at close range were even burnt and killed by the electricity.

Meanwhile, the White Ghouls further away from the electrical net felt extremely numb and unlike themselves.

Is this a Medical Awakened?

This is like a thunderbolt master...

Everyone quickly fell from the sky while Han Jiangxue tried hard to maintain her balance. Although she could not control Barren Wind well, she still tried her best to slow her and Xia Yan down.

Li Weiyi grabbed his Black Shield and descended before smashing the three White Ghouls with a loud thud and blasting away countless White Ghouls around him.

The White Ghouls stepped on the corpses of their fellow members and swarmed forward.

Hai Tianqing yelled, “Hurry and go in!”

Xia Yan said, “But...”

Hai Tianqing shouted, “Relax, Second Last must have already cleaned up.”

Xia Yan didn’t know why Hai Tianqing was that confident, but she continued to follow Li Weiyi’s shield and flew quickly into a cave.

However, as the team rushed in quickly, their footsteps stopped abruptly.

Because the flames that swept through stopped them from moving forward.

The ferocious waves made it almost impossible for them to breathe. Even with the help of Star Power, they found it difficult to breathe.

It was just outside the battle. If they were on the battlefield, would they have died?

All the Awakened with fire element Star Techniques all lit them up.

Xia Yan used Burning Flame on her body to reduce the damage caused by the fire. She tried to resist the heat waves and slowly stepped forward, only to be greeted with an unforgettable sight.

They could see a tall body standing in the middle of the cave, whose long and narrow eyes resembled hot magma that was exuding an intense glow.

Its body was no longer in the form of flesh and was instead charred and releasing magma through the cracks in her skin.

The huge figure spread its arms apart and tilted its head back, seemingly enlightened.

A tornado of flames rushed to the top of the cave.

The flames seemed to char and roast everything around it.

The place indeed used to be filled with White Ghouls, but now, the White Ghouls were all destroyed.

Passed away immediately?

Cremated on the spot?

What a meticulous one-stop service...

The remains of the corpses eventually disappeared because of the flames, leaving behind only a few small Star Beads that were dazzling and rotating with the flames.

Layers of overlapping space hung above the magma giant, emitting a faint golden light that was like Sacred light scattering around the inside of the cave. Sometimes, White Ghouls would fall onto the ground before dying immediately.

Right in the middle of the vortex of flames, a thin figure seemed to be at a loss.

Indeed, Jiang Xiao was feeling helpless.

He dared not get too close to Second Last.

Yes, he was afraid of the heat.

He dared not stray too far away from her either, because the middle was the safest.

Um, how do I put it...

Everything is fine now, but it’s a little hard to breathe...
