Chapter 1605: She’s Come

Sky-piercing noises and alarmed shouts started ringing out in all directions.

However, due to their far distance from the battlefield that was rumbling under intense fighting, they were so insignificant that no one seemed to notice at all.

But very quickly, the tremor approached the front side of the city while raising cries of alarm along the way.

“Not good! Someone is breaking through our arrays!”

“Too scary! Are they still human?”

“Help!!! Help meeee!!”

Miserable screams and terrified wails were relentless in the distance, but they then came to an abrupt end.

Those with experience would be able to tell that the sources of the screams had all been killed!

Soon following, the rear of the allied army got caught in a state of agitation and confusion.

When the foreign supreme Saints who were fighting with Shaohao’s group noticed this, their expressions immediately changed.

“Impossible! Even if Lin Xun has come back alive from the Flying Immortal Battle Realm, it’s impossible for him to break out of the Nine Layer Restrictive Saint Array in such a short period of time!”

“What on earth happened?!”

The foreign Saints had no choice but to temporarily tone down their attacks and split their focus to check the situation at the rear.

Shaohao, Zhao Jingxuan, Toady, A’lu, and the others were also stunned.

External aid, right at this perilous moment?

“Could it be Big Brother!?”

Toady was so excited that his voice trembled. Then he, Zhao Jingxuan, and A’lu also spread their spirit sense to check.

At the same time, Ruowu, Xiao Cangtian, Ye Chen, and the rest of the supreme Saints scattered around the city also noticed the abnormal situation and gazed over.

Rumble!

The earth-shattering tremor was getting closer and closer to the City of Protection like an unstoppable raging storm.

The huge battlefield came to a standstill at this moment. The foreign cultivators who were bombarding the city suddenly felt terror-stricken when they realized that something was amiss.

In the distance, shocked cries and shrieks of misery echoed through the heavens.

Under the coverage of countless spirit senses, the first thing everyone saw was a black veil that reminded them of the eternal night. From the horizon, it kept spreading like ink and obscured the sunlight while emitting a palpitating, deep, and depressing aura.

And then, a distant area that was covered in the Nine Layer Restrictive Saint Array suddenly produced a soul-shaking rumble.

It was as if there was a heavy hammer that smashed it to smithereens and created a path. In that area, sparks flew chaotically, and dao runes burst and scattered everywhere.

“The array is broken?!” The faces of the foreign supreme Saints all changed color.

All nine layers have been broken apart in just a few breaths?

It was an array that the eight domains’ allied force had exhausted every bit of effort to set up, and it had the power to trap and kill any supreme Saints!

Yet, it had been smashed through like paper!

“Who could it be?”

Shaohao, Zhao Jingxuan, and everyone else grew even more expectant, which was shown in their expressions. Their hearts, which had originally sunk to the bottom, were revitalized.

At this time of life-or-death, who wouldn’t be emotional upon seeing a glimmer of hope coming from the outside?

The big battlefield had frozen in a state of disarray. The besiegers all around the city were affected by this eerie situation. Their expressions kept shifting, and their minds were on tenterhooks.

Just what exactly was going on?

And then—

A splash of scarlet tore through the eight domains’ army from the back.

It was the blood of cultivators who suddenly died on the spot one after another, which was only spreading at an astonishing speed!

Corpses piled up, and blood spurted in their wake!

No one could block this swift and terrifying offense. Even True Saints were reduced to cold bodies lying on the ground the moment they got close.

“One person? How could that be!?” shrieked someone in horror and disbelief.

It was also at this moment that everyone’s spirit sense perceived the clear image of the attacker.

It was a tall, delicate figure suffused in a pitch-dark light of eternal night, and she was walking toward them.

Wherever she passed, darkness spread along with her steps and covered everything. The sun seemed to have disappeared from the sky, and the world seemed to be plunged into night in the middle of the day.

The enemies on her path were all reduced into corpses at her feet.

Blood poured like a waterfall.

Bones piled up like mountains.

It was a hair-raising picture of purgatory.

Her arrival brought along death and destruction, leaving behind mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

Anyone who saw such a scene felt as though they had fallen into an ice cave, chilled to the bone and unable to believe their eyes.

Since the very first second of her appearance, a straight, bloody path had been closely following her, creeping toward the City of Protection.

The Nine Layer Restrictive Saint Array was made to look like it was just for show as it had been broken through too easily.

So what if the enemy had tens of thousands of troops?

Anyone who obstructed her was left sprawled on the ground!

“Who is she? How is this possible!?” shouted a foreign supreme Saint angrily as he struggled to believe his eyes.

Who dared to believe that a single person could be so invincible, forcefully killing a path through the eight domains’ army without being hindered one bit?

“It’s her?” The moment Zhao Jingxuan saw that slender figure bathed in darkness, her eyes widened, and a sense of déjà vu washed over her.

“It’s not Big Brother!” shouted A’lu.

“It’s not him, but the result is no different!” Toady grinned with excitement on his face, and he almost started dancing. Even he hadn’t dreamed that she would appear here at this moment.

She was like a flash of light that tore through the fog and brought them hope!

“So strong!” Shaohao was shaken to the core. With his cultivation and knowledge, he could tell at a glance that the newcomer was much more than just strong!

In this moment, the Ancient Wasteland supreme Saints were all gawking as if they were seeing a god descending from heaven!

Booom!

She came accompanied by darkness and destruction. Wherever she passed, the earth trembled, and the opponents turned into bloody piles.

In the eyes of the eight domains’ army, the mysterious woman was like a god of death from hell, bringing nothing but their demise!

Their battle formation was in complete disarray, filled with only unceasing shrieks, screams, and wails. Even from a great distance, their comrades shuddered and were chilled to their hearts.

It got to the point that their all-out attack on the city was completely interrupted!

“Kill her!” A foreign supreme Saint couldn’t take it anymore and bolted out using teleportation.

Boom!

It was a refined old man clad in red. As soon as he struck out, he summoned an ancient silver sword whose killing intent cut across the void and shocked the gods.

He obviously knew that the attacker was tough, and thus was holding nothing back with his strike!

As if unaware of him, the delicate figure did not stop. She continued forward with a kind of extremely calm, relaxed manner.

From the way she carried herself, one couldn’t see any emotional fluctuations.

When the old man’s sword qi approached, she only lifted her right arm, revealing from the black sleeve a hand as flawless as the best white jade.

Each finger was a work of art by Creation, giving off a visual of ultimate beauty.

Yet when such delicate fingers gently pinched, the sword qi burst into a rain of light.

And then, she tapped a finger in the air.

Boom!

It was as if a heavenly hand suddenly pressed down on the old man. Before he could even react, he directly exploded.

He couldn’t even let out a scream in his final seconds!

In the eyes of the crowd, a supreme Saint like him had been killed as casually as swatting a fly. The visual impact overturned their world and struck fear into their minds.

It was simply terrifying!

The foreign supreme Saints were all horrified at this moment and shaken to the core.

The entire battlefield lurched into a bizarre silence, and the atmosphere became suffocatingly oppressive.

Countless gazes and spirit senses landed on the figure that was bathed in the color of eternal night.

As she strode forth, every opponent unanimously made way like they were avoiding a demonic god!

“It’s her!”

Zhao Jingxuan could finally confirm the identity of this person.

It was just that after so many years not seeing each other, the other party had changed drastically in temperament, aura, and even figure.

So much so that when she had first seen her again, Zhao Jingxuan had almost suspected that she had recognized the wrong person.

“Seems she’s even fiercer than Big Brother nowadays…” mumbled A’lu in a daze.

“Not just nowadays. I don’t remember Big Brother ever being stronger than her before,” sighed Toady.

After years of not seeing her, the young girl who was so stunning that the world dimmed under her beauty had become even more mysterious and terrifying.

“Friend, who are you and why are you blocking us?” asked a foreign supreme Saint suddenly.

It was a man clad in a golden outfit who had a sharp gaze. From the dark-shrouded woman, he couldn’t detect an aura belonging to the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

In other words, she did not wear an Ancient Wasteland Badge!

There was no response to his question.

She just continued forward without a single pause and never uttered a single word.

She walked alone silently and calmly on a path of blooming scarlet, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood as her backdrop.

The golden-robed man’s face clouded over. At any other time, he would have already made his move if he was ignored like this.

But having witnessed such an unimaginably bloody scene, he didn’t dare to act rashly.

Fortunately, his observation told him she wouldn’t take the initiative to attack as long as he didn’t block her path.

He transmitted to the others, “Everyone steer clear and let her pass!”

Those supreme Saints at the city’s front also noticed that so long as they didn’t get in the way, the woman shrouded in darkness wouldn’t even spare them a glance – as she had been doing so since the beginning – let alone attack them.

They were ignored completely!

Suddenly, Toady’s face changed as he noticed something.

“Brother Shaohao, quickly make way!” He grabbed Shaohao’s sleeve and moved to the side.

Shaohao was bewildered and a little bit shocked. Didn’t this mysterious woman come to rescue them?

At this moment, the mysterious woman came to a stop on the city wall tower.

The atmosphere was utterly silent in the huge city and the battlefield.

Her figure became the center of attention in this heaven and earth.

“His aura lingers here, but where is he…?”

A murmur rang out. Crisp, clear, and pleasing to the ears, it drifted above the dust-filled city wall like tinkling heavenly music.
