The battle at the pass was both fierce and spectacular.
Human Race roared and fought desperately against the Eerie Monsters.
This seems to be the norm at the border crossing.
Standing atop the barrier Jian En was like a god of death, annihilating all the attacking Eerie Monsters with a single strike. Even Eerie Monsters at the Calamity Realm couldn't withstand a single blow. This was the strength he possessed after ten years of guarding this place, and the reason he was able to protect it.
Many Sequence User were thrilled by the story.
With such a powerful figure assisting them, how could they possibly fail to defend the pass?
However, the number of wounded is still increasing.
Mu Ziyu carries a dagger in her hand and a large bag full of herbs on her back. She acts as a medic, moving around the area and immediately treating any wounded soldiers.
Their Dawn Pass doesn't have as much territory as the inland areas.
Even in dire straits, medicinal herbs were so precious that they were hard to buy even with Merit. But Mu Ziyu generously took out a large amount of medicinal herbs when the Eerie Tide came. She was protecting not only these people, but also the homeland behind them. Everyone was working hard.
Mu Ziyu lifted a man whose head was bleeding profusely, took out a gleaming pill from her bag, and snapped, "Quick, quick, swallow it!"
"Otherwise, with that amount of bleeding, you'll die!!"
But the man only gave a bitter smile and said, "Ziyu, thank you for your care over the years. I won't waste these medicinal herbs; let's leave them for someone else..."
With trembling hands, he pushed the medicinal herbs back, his gaze unwavering.
"Eat! What nonsense are you spouting!"
"I don't want your Merits. You can find more medicinal herbs, but you only have one life!" Mu Ziyu angrily, holding the medicinal herbs and trying to shove them into his mouth despite his attempts to stop her. However, the man remained silent, turning his head to gaze into the depths of the Black Mist, as if wanting to see the last sight.
Suddenly, Mu Ziyu felt a trickle of blood flow from the corner of the man's mouth, his pupils gradually began to dilate, and the medicinal herbs in his hand stopped in mid-air.
"..."
Mu Ziyu's expression was blank. She picked up her bag, stood up immediately, and went towards the other wounded, leaving only the man lying on the ground.
She had no time to wait... She had witnessed countless deaths, yet was powerless to stop them, and could only use her meager strength to save as many as she could.
This is the attack of the Eerie Tide; death is inevitable.
Meanwhile, the Eerie Tide attacked the pass.
A figure emerged from the swirling Black Mist Dawn City, holding a black umbrella and gazing at the city that seemed on the verge of collapse. He stood silently in the Black Mist, as if waiting for someone.
Behind that figure followed countless Eerie Monsters creatures, one after another, bloodthirsty butchers.
From the moment he arrived, the Black Mist grew thicker and thicker.
Until a crisp footstep rang out.
The figure moved, with just one step, and the Eerie Monsters behind him swarmed out.
And that figure strolled through the Eerie Tide.
This situation has also been discovered within the city.
The alarm immediately went off.
"Eerie Monsters Siege!!"
"The Eerie Lord has attacked!"
"All combat-capable Sequence User, advance to the next level!"
A buzzing sound suddenly rang out.
Countless people climbed the ladders and began to scale the wall.
One glance was enough to be struck by the horrifying scene: the Eerie Monsters, moving in an orderly fashion, all followed behind a human-like being, just like a well-organized army.
"This... can we win...?"
It wasn't just one person; the fear in countless hearts was awakened. It was too terrifying—someone could actually control Eerie Monsters. Although they had received news from Huizhou City, they had never witnessed this scene with their own eyes.
At that moment, they finally understood how those people in Huizhou City had felt back then...
But there was no turning back; they had no choice but to hold this pass, or Human Race would break through another barrier.
Suddenly, a loud laugh rang out from the city wall.
"Pfft, haha."
"As expected, what I said worked. I told you that only by destroying the Human Race can one grow stronger, and you still didn't believe me."
"Look at the powerful figure we've just seen! Although he's on the opposite side of us, he has still been born. And what follows is the golden age of Human Race, an era where powerful figures emerge in great numbers!"
Looking towards the sound, one could see a muscular man whose veins bulged, and a surge of blood energy rose from his body.
Many of the surviving veterans already guessed who it was, but they never expected that this important figure would actually make a move.
The burly man grinned broadly, looked at the stunned crowd, and said, "Go to the city and fetch some wine. I'll guard this pass for you today."
"And while you're at it, get me a beggar's chicken; I haven't had meat in ages."
Many people didn't recognize him and frowned, about to reprimand him, but were stopped by others who knew better, who immediately replied, "Sir, we'll go right away."
"Dawn City is now in your hands!!"
Be very careful!
The burly man returned a smile, his body slightly hunched.
With a loud "boom," it shot upwards like a missile until it disappeared from sight.
The person whose mouth was gagged quickly asked, "Is it really okay to hand him over to that person?"
"This is the Eerie Lord!"
"One wrong move and he'd be torn to pieces, let alone him trying to fight the Eerie Tide alone. That's no joke."
The old man beside him sighed and said, "It's normal that you people of the new era don't know them. They were some of the most important figures when the pass was built!"
"Do you know that without people like them, this pass might not even have been built? Although they have now retired to the common people, their former fame still remains!"
"All we need to do is wait for news and prepare some snacks for that gentleman's drinks."
The young man exclaimed, "Are you referring to the Supreme Being?"
The old man shook his head and said, "To be precise, according to what was once called the Nine Sequence User, that gentleman was the Sixth Sequence, codenamed Wangyang."
Meanwhile, the Eerie Monsters continued its advance.
Li Chen stood in the center, holding a black umbrella, his head slightly raised, already sensing the aura emanating from it.
The clouds were churning.
A fiery meteorite was falling from the sky, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the same burly man from before. He grinned, his body ablaze with flames, his blood and energy seemingly one, and the intense friction made him rush forward like a fireball.
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, they were caught in Eerie Tide, which rose into a small mushroom cloud, with Eerie Monsters severed limbs flying everywhere.
Amidst the billowing Black Mist, the figure emerged from the pit.
The burly man grinned, looking at Li Chen who was only a few hundred meters away. He twisted his neck forcefully and laughed, "It's been a long time since I've exercised; I'm a bit rusty."
An incredibly terrifying pressure, like a black hole, crushed all the surrounding Eerie Monsters.
"A powerful expert from the Wasteland Realm?"
Simply by sensing the aura, Li Chen was able to discern the true strength of the burly man before him who made no attempt to conceal his power.
