Chapter 2610: The Choice

There must be a price to pay for being able to summon so many necromancy armies, even Seifer, such a formidable necromancer.
Moreover, his true body should be frail, and there were many powerful internal qi around his true body.
Black dragons, necromancy knights, and skeleton archers; these powerful forces were all gathered around him.
The ogre was only a second -grade monster beast. If they wanted to fight, they had to bring forward the date again. Seifer should be in his weakest condition now.
Li Yue stared at the light spot that entered the chessboard and muttered to himself.
Something was wrong.
Li Yue’s expression suddenly changed.
He took out a Spirit Recovery Pill and swallowed it.
As his power of the soul recovered, the chessboard kept changing in his hand. It kept expanding in a specific place, blurring and then becoming clear again.
“Another outsider?”
Lu Yue’s expression was a little solemn. A weak internal qi suddenly entered the chessboard.
As the internal qi entered, the entire chessboard suddenly turned pitch-black. Densely packed black chess pieces covered the whole chessboard without white pieces on top.
It was a deadlocked position.
Li Yue’s expression changed drastically, and he retreated almost without hesitation.
Less than two seconds after he left, a living being suddenly appeared where he was. He stared in the direction Li Yue had left and revealed a strange smile.
“It’s not simple. He could actually sense my existence. This ability doesnt seem to be a simple Order of Rules. It seems to be a skill of the Heart of Saint
Kingdom.”
The living being that appeared let out a hollow voice. It did not chase after Li Yue, who had left. Instead, it went deep into the core of this area.
He slowly entered it, and inside, numerous necromancy armies stood orderly in various areas.
The Nine Heavens Manifestations Gaze consumed a lot of mental strength. If his soul had not been strengthened after the first city defense battle and he had not been taking the Spirit Recovery Pill, he probably would not have been able to hold on.
With the strengthening after the previous battle, the ogres and giant ogres were no longer a threat to them. They would not be in any danger as long as they were not surrounded.
Seife had also launched a mental attack previously, so they would not be in any danger for the time being.
“Ju Wuwei, your physical body doesn’t seem to have improved much, but your combat strength has increased by at least three times.”
Ju Wuwei had already killed eight giant ogres since the start of the battle, and he was still doing it with ease.
It had been an extremely exaggerated battle record. In the first battle of defending the city, just killing one ogre had exhausted almost all of his strength.
“I entered the Way in the mortal realm with my saber, and the Way was almost my life. I know exactly which muscle I use and where I exert force from when I wield my saber. Therefore, when strengthening, I focus on these areas and supplement the other parts to maximize the power of my saber.”
Ju Wuwei said softly. Qin Yu was the person Elder Tianji had mentioned, so he did not hide anything from Qin Yu.
Qin Yu nodded. This was practically using all his strength on the blade.
The other areas that were not needed for the battle were directly ignored. This was the best method in the current situation where Saint Power was so precious. No wonder Ju Wuwei’s improvement was so amazing.
All of a sudden, an extremely mournful voice sounded near them.
“That’s the voice of the black dragon. Could it be that something has happened to the black dragon?”
Ju Wuwei said with a frown.
The black dragon was derived from the corpses of countless giant ogres, ogres, and humans. Its strength was at least four to five times that of the giant ogres, and its flying ability was almost unrivaled.
Seeing it let out such a terrifying scream, Qin Yu hesitated a while before rushing in that direction.
“I’m going over to take a look. You decide for yourself whether to follow me or retreat!”
Now that they had lost the necromancy candle in Li Yue’s hand, it was unrealistic for them to go deep in.
However, the information they had gathered should not be of high value. If they wanted to enter the bunker and find the living being that Elder Tianji had mentioned, they should not have enough merit points.
Qin Yu did not want to miss this rare opportunity.
He would not gain much this time by retreating directly.
Shen Qian and Ju Wuwei followed behind him without hesitation. Fang Xiang and Liu Da hesitated for a while and did not follow him. Instead, they retreated toward the tunnel..
