What is the meaning of life?
Does it represent new life? Or does it represent decay?
Screams... cries... curses... echoed the Eerie Tide.
The Canghai Pass is now littered with corpses.
The Special Affairs Bureau couldn't handle it all, nor could the Sequence User; Eerie Monsters and human corpses continued to fall from the checkpoint.
The bleeding couldn't be stopped...
First Seat stepped over the wall, each step leaving a pit, and quickly ascended upwards, a long purple sword, emanating a sinister aura, tightly gripped in his hand.
"Almost there... almost there..."
"We're almost there!"
Suddenly, a blinding white light shone on his face, First Seat pupils contracted rapidly.
"You..."
A man wearing a half-face mask with gold-threaded rat patterns emerged from the white light. His purple hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and a sword, still sheathed, hung at his waist. He looked indifferently at the First Seat before him and said...
"Long time no see, junior brother."
I never imagined that we would meet in this way.
First Seat stopped in his tracks.
Ignoring gravity and the terrain, as if they didn't see anything at all, the two stood facing each other on the barrier wall.
First Seat sheathed his longsword, his tone tinged with a hint of nostalgia as he said, "Yes, it has been a long time indeed."
However, our positions are no longer aligned.
This battle is unavoidable.
The purple-haired man shook his head and said, "Junior brother, stop."
With First Seat cold snort, he swiftly charged forward, saying, "Jun Liang, from that day on, I was no longer your junior brother."
"My hands are now stained with the blood of countless people. Looking back... there's no going back."
"This sick world, it has treated me terribly, and I will make it pay a hundredfold."
Jun Liang sighed as he looked at his junior brother charging towards him.
"We sword cultivators should not act this way..."
"Sick... this world is indeed sick."
"But junior brother, this barrier cannot be broken; it is the last bulwark of our Human Race."
He closed his eyes and gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Visible purple energy surged forth from all around, rushing into his still-drawn sword sheath.
With a "clang".
Jun Liang's figure surged forth, carrying with it a vast killing intent.
The battle between the two unfolded on the wall.
There are still quite a few survivors in the city, cautiously observing the situation.
"Why!!"
"We're all human, why do we have to fight?"
"The Eerie Monsters have already broken through the barriers, while Human Race is still fighting amongst themselves!!"
But no one offered him an explanation.
It's long since become impossible to distinguish who is good and who is evil.
At the checkpoint, wave after wave of Sequence User continued to take turns resisting the Eerie Tide.
A burly man wielding a machete stood beside the wall at the pass, relentlessly hacking at the Eerie Monsters climbing up from below, shouting...
"Lao Chen, quick, give me a sip of milk!"
"Lao Chen?"
He paused for a moment, then turned to look.
All that could be seen was Lao Chen, who had been shouting, having had half his body bitten off by an Eerie Monsters, leaving only his legs, which were still swaying from side to side, being chewed in the Eerie Monsters's mouth.
In an instant, the burly man in front of him unleashed a murderous aura.
"You scum, you'll pay with your life!!"
"You bastard!!"
His axe was unstoppable, cleaving the Eerie Monsters in two with a single blow.
But it didn't die; instead, it kept wriggling on the ground.
The burly man, his eyes bloodshot, frantically hacked at the writhing Eerie Monsters on the ground.
"Lao Chen is such an honest person."
"We promised to have a good drink after this Eerie Tide passes."
"You bastard..."
He gripped the axe tightly, hacking away at the Eerie Monsters as he cursed, tears streaming down his face.
This scene actually didn't cause much of a stir.
Because too many people died.
Many more people have become numb, only thinking about surviving.
Located below the pass, powerful figures are being besieged by countless Eerie Monsters on the sea surface.
Many people desperately resisted the Eerie Monsters, but their eyes couldn't help but drift towards the figures below, shouting...
"Pass Master Guan, hold on!"
"We can't lose here!!"
On the horizon, a black-haired man dressed in a black robe stood with an extremely solemn expression, muttering to himself.
"Damn it, how come there are eight Calamity Realm Eerie Monsters in this Eerie Tide all at once?"
"There used to be at most three or four, could it be..."
Suddenly his eyes narrowed and his expression changed drastically.
A violent roar erupted from within the Black Mist.
A massive figure emerged from the sea.
Countless bizarre spheres of flesh and tentacles continuously grabbed and crushed the Eerie Monsters still swimming on the sea surface.
Without any reason, even Eerie Monsters fell victim to this cruel act.
The black-haired man quickly retreated a hundred meters, his face turning pale as he forced a bitter smile.
"How the hell are we supposed to defend this?"
"The Eerie Monsters of the Wasteland Realm have appeared."
"Could it be that this hurdle is truly about to be breached today?"
He exuded a fiery aura, glanced at the pass behind him, and took a step forward.
"Oh well... maybe this is fate."
On the sea, most of the Eerie Monsters were actually blocked by the Calamity Realm experts below, just to give those at the Withered Sea Realm above time to catch up.
We need to implement a system of separating patients into different groups, because people need rest, they are not machines.
The Eerie Monsters are endless, and the human population cannot exceed the number of Eerie Monsters. The only way to suppress most Eerie Monsters is through higher cultivation levels.
But the Eerie Monsters still caused them immense suffering.
They dared not stop for even a moment.
A dark shadow streaked across the sky and reached the checkpoint.
Li Chen floated in the air, his eyes fixed on the devastated pass. He pursed his lips and murmured...
Is this the true face of the border crossing?
"Or perhaps Dad and Mom died in such an environment?"
"Not worth it..."
At that moment, a voice rang out from below him.
"Hey, you up there, come down and help!"
"Stop watching the show, you idiot."
"I can't hold on much longer!"
Li Chen looked over and saw a man with a red ribbon tied around his head and two swords in his hands, constantly fighting against the Eerie Monsters in front of him.
What surprised him was that the man before him seemed to possess the aura of the Looking River Realm.
Those from the Looking River Realm actually dared to go to the pass; I don't know if they're stupid or just plain dumb.
Countless light blades instantly materialized around Li Chen, slicing many of the crouching Eerie Monsters into pieces in a mere instant.
The man's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Wow, little brother, you're that awesome?"
"All resolved at once?"
Li Chen slowly floated down, glanced around, and saw that no Eerie Monsters had climbed up yet, which meant that many Sequence Users were using their abilities to block the Eerie Monsters.
This slowed down the battle and allowed these Sequence User to rest.
The man looked at Li Chen, who wasn't covered in blood, and said in surprise.
"Young man, are you a newly promoted substitute?"
What's the situation now?
"Shouldn't everyone in the city have been evacuated?"
