In this months-long battle to the death, the side that won a bitter victory in the end was humanity. Not a single person who had fought survived. And those who lived were all commoners!
From the mouths of the surviving commoners, Luo Yunji learned how brutal this battle had been.
In the final decisive battle, Du Chengping had charged down from the city wall holding an oil jar, knocking several monsters with him, then ignited the oil jar in his arms. The oil jars smashed below the wall earlier caught fire in an instant, and countless monsters perished in the flames. The monsters' screams in the blaze, mixed with Du Chengping's mad laughter, carried far into the distance.
Chen Qinglong fought on and refused to retreat, and in the end he sank beneath the tide of monsters pouncing to kill him. In an instant, he was torn apart, devoured, and utterly consumed.
And Wang Yishi, who had lost all four limbs, had actually swallowed the spirit stones Luo Yunji had given them and drawn the talismans Luo Yunji once taught them on his own body. In the final battle, he ordered men to launch him with a catapult into the mouth of a Bone Guard and detonate himself, thereby giving the soldiers of Two Mountains the chance to kill the Bone Guard.
Li Li, the Morning Sun Peak disciple whom Luo Yunji had forcibly abducted to Black Stone Cave to forge weapons for the Quadruplets back then, also fought to the death and never retreated. In the end, only his hammer-shaped magical treasure remained, to be brought back to his sect and handed to his master, Shang Zhengliang.
Liao Ming also used the power of the spirit stones to detonate his body. He left behind one sentence.
