C85

The deathly still ancient building vanished, as did the strange stone walls. At this moment, an ancient battlefield identical to the stone painting appeared in front of the eyes of Xia Xingchen and Chu Qingcheng!

Countless soldiers clad in simple and unadorned armor rode large horses, charging towards the enemy camp without any hesitation.

On the battlefield, where blade lights and sword shadows interweaved with the sky full of arrows, fresh blood sprayed out at all times. Roars and wails echoed in the air all the time as a terrifying killing intent surged like a mountain, pressuring Chu Qingcheng and Xia Xingchen to the point of no return!

"Why would we appear in a stone painting?" A look of terror appeared on Chu Qingcheng's face as she stared in disbelief at the bloody battlefield.

"I guess our souls were sucked in by that stone wall." Xia Xinghe was also stunned, but compared to Chu Qingcheng, he was much calmer.

Xia Xinghe extended his hand, his palm reaching out towards a soldier half a body taller than him. And that soldier, as though he didn't even see Xia Xinghe, directly chopped down with his ancient saber.

Until now, the strangest scene had occurred. The soldier's saber had pierced through Xia Xingchen's palm and landed on the enemy soldier's body!

Instantly, that soldier's head was chopped off, fresh blood spurting out in all directions like a fountain, splashing in all directions. However, the blood that was as dense as rain strangely passed through Xia Xinghe and Chu Qingcheng before finally dripping onto the ground.

"Her soul was captured into the stone wall?" Chu Qingcheng covered her mouth with her hands as she stared in disbelief at this bizarre scene before her.

Without a doubt, as soon as she entered the ancient ruins, everything that happened here had already turned Chu Qingcheng's world upside down!

"It should be some kind of illusory magic array, or an enchanting technique." Xia Xinghe said resolutely, "To everything here, we are just outsiders."

Xia Xinghe was like a spectator, coldly watching the battle on the battlefield.

A river of blood?

Corpse mountains everywhere?

Pitiful and tragic?

I'm sorry, but these things are nothing out of the ordinary for the Star King. He even personally directed many of the calamities during his time in the Nine Heavens and Ten Hells!

However, this was not the case for Chu Qingcheng. After a brief moment of shock, Chu Qingcheng's entire focus had been infected by the fearless warriors and the blood soaked battlefield. Unknowingly, two streams of crystal clear tears flowed down her cheeks.

It was as if he was crying for all the dead warriors.

He also seemed to be crying over the grief of having his blood dyed by the rivers and mountains.

Or maybe she was crying for herself.

Xia Xinghe tilted his head as he furrowed his brows, staring at Chu Qingcheng. He felt that something was wrong with Chu Qingcheng … Although Chu Qingcheng wasn't Nangong Xian, Xia Xingchen and Chu Qingcheng had known each other for quite some time and had experienced many life and death situations together. From Xia Xinghe's perspective, Chu Qingcheng was the type of person who was cold and unfeeling, filled with determination.

In the air, a strong smell of blood permeated the air. However, Xia Xingchen was able to smell the scent of a conspiracy!

"Miss Chu!" Xia Xinghe called out softly.

"What's wrong?" Chu Qingcheng's beautiful face was covered with tears, causing me to feel pity for her. However, in the eyes of Xia Xinghe, there was an indescribable sense of strangeness.

She seems to have been affected by the atmosphere of the battlefield, this battlefield is indeed as I expected, it should be some kind of soul attack. As for whether it is an illusion technique or an illusory magic array, I am temporarily unable to see through it, all I know is that this kind of thing, to me, has no human effect, because the amount of blood flowing here, to me, is too little! Upon seeing Chu Qingcheng acting in such a manner, Xia Xinghe instantly guessed what was going on.

After mumbling to himself, Xia Xinghe took the initiative to start a conversation with Chu Qingcheng, hoping to draw Chu Qingcheng's attention away from the illusion, "Look at these soldiers, their bodies are much taller than us, and the war horses are even stronger than the war horses we have seen before. Could it be that these are the people and horses from the ancient times?"

Xia Xinghe was not lying. Whether it was the war horses or the soldiers, they were all bigger and stronger than the people and horses of the Barren Continent or the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

"Maybe." Chu Qingcheng absentmindedly replied Xia Xinghe, yet her tears still flowed unceasingly.

"Look …" Xia Xinghe pointed at the center of the battlefield.

In the battlefield, it seemed as if it had transformed into a red stream of light, and it was incomparably fast and fierce. And on the fiery red warhorse, there was a mighty general who was wearing a beast mask and head devouring armor, holding a halberd in his hand. His appearance was resolute like that of a heavenly halberd, and wherever he passed, blood would dye the earth, among the tens of thousands of troops, no one was his opponent, and he was the focus of the entire battlefield!

"That person is very powerful, and I am completely unable to see through his cultivation realm." Xia Xinghe couldn't help but let out a sigh. Even in the nine heavens and ten earth, such a genius was an existence that had never been seen before. Especially with his cultivation, Xia Xinghe was even more curious.

Chu Qingcheng followed the direction Xia Xinghe was pointing in and fixed her eyes on him. When she saw the scene of the stalwart man bravely killing the enemy, the blood in her entire body seemed to boil.

He had originally wanted to find a topic to divert Chu Qingcheng's attention, but he hadn't expected that Chu Qingcheng's condition would become even more unstable. If the current situation continued to develop, there was a high chance that Chu Qingcheng would be devoured by the blood that erupted from her body.

Just think about it, on such a tragic, tragic, blood-soaked battlefield, who would not feel their blood boiling after seeing the valiant figure of that general sweeping across the battlefield?

Especially in the battlefield, there seemed to be a certain force that was pulling the blood of those trapped in the battlefield into a frenzy!

However, both Chu Qingcheng and Xia Xinghe were outsiders, they had no way to participate in this battle. This was the most fatal situation!

This was the most fatal place on this battlefield. Sooner or later, it would cause all those trapped in the battlefield to go berserk, or even explode and die!

"No way!" Xia Xinghe squinted her eyes as she stared at Chu Qingcheng's strange appearance, feeling extremely anxious in her heart, "Although this battlefield is of no use to me, Miss Chu is not Nan Gong Xian and she is already trapped inside. I must find a way to leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise, Miss Chu will really die here!"

Having made up his mind, Xia Xinghe quickly scanned his surroundings and did his utmost to release his spiritual sense to find a flaw in the battlefield in the shortest time possible. He broke through this gap and returned to the Drum Hall!
