Chapter 135: I Know You’re in a Hurry, But Hold On
Fierce light-flames rippled through space, stirring heatwave ripples.

However, as the dense rain of black spears reached Yonglan, surging dragonflame solidified space. The javelins, originally thrown with brutal ferocity, were swallowed by the Blazing Steel Flames, losing all their kinetic energy in the blink of an eye and burning to ash.
Yonglan: “Good, where’s Jiali?”
“The pressure on the front line is too great; she needs to hold the line.”
Enesyin glanced back towards the rear of the knight army. The Construct Mage, surrounded by the puppets of Casterly Court, bore the brunt of the firepower output.
“Is that so? It doesn’t matter, the two of us are enough.”
Yonglan and the Platinum-haired Dragon Maiden stood back-to-back, facing the threat of the Undead Legion.
The Undead Overlord had never expected to be able to corner and kill Yonglan without interference. Since the defense line had been breached, it made little difference whether it was one person or two; there was only one solution.
“Advance! Undead Legion!”
The Undead Overlord struck the ground with his Blade Spear, and the Undead Legion began to advance slowly. The black shadows above the legion ravenously surged towards the skeletal giant, continuously strengthening its metallic shell.
The entire strength of the legion was used to enhance the main body of the legion’s lord. Elite construct guards were treated as charging batteries, while the Undead Overlord, under the cover of his guards, personally engaged Yonglan and the Dragon Maiden.
Yonglan: “A one-on-one fight… Then I’ll fight you while massacring your legion.”
He said it was a one-on-one.
However, Yonglan wasn’t being humorous. In his eyes, companions bound by contract were different, like his own brothers. In battle, they could naturally be considered as one.
How could this not be called a one-on-one fight?
The Undead Overlord, empowered by the Undead Legion, was indeed very strong, perhaps even slightly exceeding Yonglan’s stats.
This was good. Yonglan enjoyed enemies with a little challenge; he wanted to be able to defeat them, but also to feel a sense of accomplishment after victory.
“You have some ability, but unfortunately… your weakness is fatal!”
Yonglan reversed his grip on the Soul Devouring Blade, the soul-forged mask covering his face. He exhaled fiery breath, and then charged towards the Undead Overlord.
Pure lightning erupted without reservation, distorting space. A large portion of the lightning headed towards the Undead Overlord’s elite guard.
The undead constructs were swallowed by the lightning like stones caught in an avalanche. In an instant, their Orichalcum bodies were shattered by the pure lightning. The corrupted undead, under the power of the Soul Devouring Blade, could not last a few seconds before turning into dust.
A sweep of azure light created a substantial gap in the skeletal army’s formations, a vacuum zone directly carved out by the Soul Devouring Blade.
The Undead Legion was clearly a powerful ritual that unified the army. However, for Yonglan, only pure individual strength was difficult to deal with.
Clearing out the chaff? He was an expert at it.
Perhaps to most, being surrounded and attacked by an entire army would be terrifying. However, Yonglan’s every Talent fed on beings far weaker than himself.
Did quantity lead to quality? Not at all!
“Stop!!”
The Undead Overlord roared in extreme anger, blocking Yonglan. He swung down his rapidly spinning Blade Spear, but Yonglan, instead of meeting the earth-shattering blow head-on, skillfully dodged it.
“You’re anxious, I know you’re anxious, but hold on.”
Yonglan used his Soul Forging Technique to reconstruct his weapon. The Soul Devouring Blade could be wielded with one hand, so his free hand couldn’t be idle. Holding the sword in one hand and a scythe in the other, Yonglan bypassed the full-powered Undead Overlord and charged into the enemy’s elite guard, beginning a frenzied slaughter.
“Because you’ll be the one in a hurry later!”
As he spun and cut, he channeled lightning and flames, accompanied by sudden flashes of light. The Overlord’s guards fell like harvested wheat. To ordinary people, each of these elite undead constructs would be difficult to defeat, but in front of Yonglan, they were like paper toys, being wantonly destroyed.
“Ahhh!!!!”
The Undead Overlord’s core temperature soared, and he furiously chased Yonglan, trying to stop the latter from massacring his elite guard.
However, he was steadily held back by the Platinum-haired Dragon Maiden.
Enesyin’s ability to clear out minor enemies might not be top-tier, but the effect of her Blazing Steel Flames was well-known; even Celestial Gods were affected by it, let alone the Undead Overlord, who was specially targeted due to his entirely construct body.
Yonglan had immediately engaged the Overlord at the rear of the undead army, completely tying up the most elite forces of the undead army. However, the undead army that covered the mountains and fields was not just the Overlord’s elite guard. There were more Dynasty Guards who did not participate in cornering Yonglan. After all, they were not within the range of the Undead Legion, and forcing them in would only disrupt the legion.
Moreover, the Undead Overlord currently had no intention of commanding the remaining troops. His gaze was solely fixed on the scoundrel who was frantically harvesting his elite guard.
And so, while the two commanders dueled (sort of), the front lines of the expeditionary force and the undead army fought undisturbed, presenting a different scene.
The river had been clogged with all sorts of constructs. Attacking them midway across was no longer a brilliant tactic when faced with spells that could instantly freeze the river’s surface. Both the Undead Dynasty and the Knight Kingdoms, with the help of mages, could disregard the harsh terrain.
Due to the previous bombardment, the Undead army’s front lines had suffered severe damage, allowing the knight army to immediately gain an advantageous position and suppress the Undead army.
“Don’t… stop! Tear through… the enemy lines!”
Luojia, clad in heavy armor, wielded his massive greatsword, knocking down one colossal skeletal construct after another, forcefully carving through the enemy formation of shield walls and spears.
As a Night Walker Knight who had fought the Undead Dynasty for years, he knew that when dealing with the Undead Legion, one must never let them form a tight and orderly formation. Otherwise, a formation as solid as rock and their strict discipline would greatly increase the Undead Legion’s strength. Only by bringing chaos to the battle could the undead’s command advantage be diluted.
However, the Night Walker Knight Commander was not the one charging the furthest. In comparison, the Clear Stream Knight Commander was far more valiant and fanatical.
“For our King! Charge! Charge! Charge!”
Luqia, wielding dual blades, weaved through the Undead Legion. The form-fitting light armor pulsed with runes, supporting the knight maiden’s extremely flexible and swift movements.
Her long, water-blue hair trailed behind her like a wake. Luqia moved with fluid grace amidst the dense Undead army, fighting with precision, elegance, and lethality, like a death dance performed on the edge of a blade.
If the Night Walker Knights were heavy and steady warriors, then the Clear Stream Knights were mostly those who disregarded life and death, dancing with their lives without hesitation.
“For the Godslayer! For the Mortal World Kingdom!”
The brave allied knights shattered the supposedly unshakeable undead formations layer by layer, continuously pushing forward.
The Knight Kingdoms were not purely weak, especially in terms of mortal combat power. They were battle-hardened and well-trained. The true weakness of the mortal kingdoms was the absence of truly high-end power. They could contend with regular forces, but once the enemy unleashed some Divinity-level power, they would be routed.
Just like now, if not for the Godslayer, even if the Undead Overlord did not descend, and the Divine Constructs did not appear, the knight allied forces would have suffered heavy casualties purely from the spell bombardment of the Lich team and the mass trampling of high-level constructs.
But now, all these game-changing existences were dragged into the bloody fray by Yonglan. The valiant knights could finally defeat their enemies with their own strength.
Not to mention, the knights were not fighting alone.
