Chapter 261 Crossing the Sand River
The enormous fiery fist instantly wiped out a third of the White Sand Demon Soldiers surrounding Zhao Manyan. After the fiery fist dissipated, the ground was covered with blue-purple flames. Before the White Sand Demon Soldiers could recover, Zhang Xiaohou's released tornado swept over them. The wind fueled the fire, and the tornado instantly transformed into a fire dragon that swept towards the remaining White Sand Demon Soldiers.
Hiding within the defensive magic, Zhao Manyan couldn't help but complain, "You guys really are a one-stop shop for reducing everything to ashes."
Despite his words, Zhao Manyan didn't just stand by and watch. Golden armor appeared on his body, and a golden shadow sword materialized in his hand. This was one of Zhao Manyan's more powerful offensive techniques, and this demon-slaying weapon was extremely expensive.
With the help of Zhang Xiaohou and Jiang Han, Zhao Manyan was determined to take the opportunity to vent all the anger he had been holding in.
Clad in golden armor, Zhao Manyan wielded a golden shadow sword and slashed at the approaching white sand demon soldier. Although his shadow sword was formed from light elements, its sharpness was in no way inferior to other divine weapons. Zhao Manyan's sword directly cut the white sand demon soldier's huge body in two. Most astonishingly, the shadow sword that fell from the ground burst out with a sharp sword light.
This sword beam was extremely powerful, cleaving the white sand demon soldiers in a straight line in two. Those who were lucky enough to survive had their shoulders or lower limbs severed.
Jiang Han, who was suspended in mid-air, wanted to curse after seeing Zhao Manyan's sword light annihilate a large number of white sand demon soldiers. He thought to himself, "What the hell did you turtle-shell mage do with your ultimate move? Do you know how many points I lost?"
Just as Zhao Manyan had dealt with dozens of White Sand Demon Soldiers, a large swarm of them charged forward, leaping on the remaining blue-purple flames. Zhao Manyan couldn't help but gasp, then shouted, "Jiang Han, air support! Air support!!"
"Old Zhao, what kind of air support do you need? You were pretty tough just now, keep it up, don't chicken out," Jiang Han teased.
"How can I not be scared with so many White Sand Demon Soldiers?" Zhao Manyan shouted as he swung his sword.
"Enough said, we should hurry up, or the road Mo Fan and the others have cleared will be blocked by the White Sand Demon Soldiers." As Jiang Han finished speaking, gray-purple lightning surged from his body.
One after another, lightning star charts appeared around Jiang Han. When the seventh star chart appeared, the seven lightning star charts echoed each other, and the stars connected to form star trails. The star trails between the star charts intertwined with each other, finally forming a magnificent lightning constellation above Jiang Han's head.
"Silent Thunder Death Ray - Thunder Arm!!"
Grayish-purple lightning coiled around Jiang Han's left arm. The lightning lacked the scorching heat of a lightning seal and the ferocity of a thunderbolt. It was eventually compressed into a deathly light filled with destructive energy. Jiang Han raised his hand and struck the grayish-purple lightning beam down into the group of white sand demon soldiers below. The deep rumble made Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan look up at Jiang Han.
"Damn it, Jiang Han, take it easy! Monkey and I are still down there!" Zhao Manyan shouted.
Jiang Han controlled the gray-purple Heavenly Punishment Lightning to sweep across the White Sand Demon Soldier group. The lightning, filled with destructive energy, instantly annihilated most of the White Sand Demon Soldier. Every White Sand Demon Soldier struck by the Heavenly Punishment Lightning turned into ashes.
When the divine punishment lightning in Jiang Han's palm dissipated, the White Sand Demon Soldiers who had been besieging Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan were all dealt with.
The system points also surged by nearly two thousand, and a considerable amount of essence and remnant essence were collected, but this was still a drop in the ocean compared to the accumulation of soul energy in the soul orb.
After dealing with the White Sand Demon Soldiers, Jiang Han, who was hovering in mid-air, called out, "Old Zhao, Monkey, hurry, let's go and meet up with Xin Xia and the others."
"Okay," Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan said as they stood up.
As soon as he finished speaking, magical artifacts appeared beneath Zhao Manyan and Zhang Xiaohou's feet. Jiang Hanfei then cleared a path for them in the air, continuously unleashing fire bursts from his hands. As for why he didn't use lightning magic, it was because lightning magic had already been exhausted.
While clearing a path for Zhao Manyan and his group, Jiang Han also took care of the other White Sand Demon soldiers who were fighting the Undead Lizard Skull Giant. After dealing with those White Sand Demon soldiers, Jiang Han's body lit up with moon-white starlight. After the spatial rift appeared, Jiang Han used his mind to drive the still-living Undead Lizard Skull Giant back to the dimensional space.
This battle with the White Sand Demon Soldiers resulted in the deaths of quite a few Undead Lizard Skull Giants. However, the dead Undead Lizard Skull Giants were not wasted. The surviving Undead Lizard Skull Giants would directly devour the scattered soul fire to increase their strength. In any case, Jiang Han's release of the Undead Lizard Skull Giants from the dimensional space was a sure win.
The advancement of undead creatures is relatively simple. They increase their strength by devouring soul fire. If there is no powerful undead creature to lead them, the undead creatures will fight each other and devour each other's soul fire.
The undead lizard-headed giant monsters were all under the command of Jiang Han and the two undead giant lizard pseudo-dragons. Therefore, they did not have any way to advance in the dimensional space. However, thanks to the great battle with the white sand demon soldiers, many undead lizard-headed giant monsters have made breakthroughs.
With Jiang Han leading the way, Zhao Manyan and Zhang Xiaohou felt no pressure and quickly rejoined Mo Fan, who was leading the way.
As night fell, Jiang Han followed Mo Fan and the others to the opposite bank of the Sha Wang River. Sitting in their tent at the campsite, they gazed up at the breathtaking starry sky, the endless white sand river echoing the starry heavens. Such a beautiful sight could only be seen in Dunhuang. In his previous life, Jiang Han was either busy finding a job or spending his leisure time at home reading novels; he had neither the time nor the money to travel and appreciate the beauty of different places.
Xinxia sat in front of the campfire, treating the injuries of Zhao Manyan, Zhang Xiaohou, and Mo Fan. Xinxia's mental magic was only at the mid-level awakened stage, far less abundant than her healing magic. With her there, Mo Fan and the others' injuries were no big deal.
"Today was really awesome! I've never had so much fun killing people in my life!" Zhao Manyan, who had just finished treatment, was a little carried away with his excitement. In the end, he laughed so hard that he pulled on the wound on the corner of his mouth and grimaced in pain.
Zhang Xiaohou nodded in agreement, feeling more comfortable than ever before, even when he was fighting alongside his comrades in the garrison.
As for Mo Fan, he was lying on the sand with his head on his shoulder, gazing up at the beautiful night sky, savoring the battle he had just fought.
Jiang Han chatted and laughed with Xin Xia. When it was time to rest, Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan stayed to keep watch for the first half of the night, while Jiang Han and Zhang Xiaohou stayed to keep watch for the second half. The girls went to rest.
……
The next day, after breakfast, the group set off again for their destination, Zhuoyuan North Corner. The land of Zhuoyuan North Corner was crimson red, as if it had been burned red by flames.
This is the northern corner of Zhuoyuan, a special place that still holds various mysteries, where human footprints are not numerous.
The hunters are scattered throughout the country, and many famous demon areas have been repeatedly traversed by them, making it extremely difficult to find useful resources and treasures.
