Chapter 625
byOutside the Liehuo City, the Coffin Carrier walked slowly, followed by dozens of powerful experts.
The warriors of the entire Blazing Fire City were also watching and waiting.
After listening to Yun Xuan’s account of the Coffin Carrier, Yang Kai looked puzzled： “Why would he do this？”
“Probably compensation！” Ji Yan interjected with a gloomy expression.
“Compensation？ For what？” Yang Kai narrowed his eyes.
“Compensation for the trauma caused to the place where he stays！” Ji Yan took a deep breath, and some worry and fear appeared on his face. “Every time the Coffin Carrier stays in a place, that place will be devastated, not a blade of grass will grow, and within a radius of a hundred miles, there will be no vitality for ten years.”
Yang Kai couldn’t help but be horrified.
Ji Yan rubbed his forehead： “I hope he is just passing by and doesn’t stay in my Blazing Fire City.”
If the Coffin Carrier stays in Blazing Fire City, then this area within a radius of a hundred miles will surely be destroyed.
Yang Kai finally understood why the other warriors were all excited and expectant, while Ji Yan was worried. Because he was the city lord of Blazing Fire City, of course he didn’t want the city he guarded to be destroyed like this.
Just as the few people were talking, a exclaimed suddenly came from over there: “He stopped, he stopped!”
Ji Yan’s body trembled, and his face suddenly turned ashen.
The thing he was worried about still happened. This Coffin Carrier didn’t know where he came from or where he was going, but he chose to stop near Blazing Fire City.
Beside Ji Yan, the disciples of the Proud Alone League also changed their complexions drastically.
“Uncle Ji…” Yun Xuan called out softly.
Ji Yan’s eyes were fixed on the back of the coffin carrier, not responding. His face struggled and hesitated for a while before he shouted in a deep voice: “You all go back to the city, evacuate and notify everyone in the city, take your precious items and leave quickly!”
“City Lord…”
“It will be too late if it’s any later. Hurry up, I’ll go and stall for a while！” With that said, Ji Yan flew out and moved closer to the dozens of people following behind the coffin carrier.
Yun Xuan also had a bitter and helpless expression on her face. Since the coffin carrier had stopped, it meant that in the near future, Blazing Fire City would become a dead zone. This was also a huge loss for the Proud Alone League.
Yang Kai had been observing the strange person carrying a blood-red coffin. In his spiritual sense perception, he suddenly discovered that this person was filled with a deathly aura and a corpse aura. Moreover, judging from the countless sarcomas and pustules on his body, he simply shouldn’t have any life aura.
In other words, he should have been a dead person long ago.
However, the huge power hidden within his body made anyone tremble with fear.
When Ji Yan flew towards those dozens of people, the coffin carrier’s pair of terrifying eyes like bronze bells looked down and seemed somewhat satisfied with the location here. Unexpectedly, he just fell straight down like this.
Boom…
The earth trembled violently, and some crack-like lines like spider webs quickly appeared on the ground. The coffin carrier landed and stood there quietly, motionless, with his eyes closed, as if he was closing his eyes to rest his mind.
Many martial artists were eager to move, with some greedy expressions on their faces, and their strength was secretly gathering. But because of the status and position of those dozens of people who followed the coffin carrier, although they were tempted, they didn’t dare to take action rashly.
Ji Yan had already joined those dozens of people. They seemed to know each other, greeted each other, and discussed in a low voice.
“Who are those people？” Yang Kai asked.
“They are all experts from some nearby forces. Xu Qi of the Thunder Light Divine Religion, with the cultivation base of the second level of the Transcendent Realm. Zou Xing of the Mysterious Heaven League, with the cultivation base of the third level of the Transcendent Realm. Yao Di of the Battle Soul Palace, also with the cultivation base of the third level of the Transcendent Realm…” Yun Xuan gestured to those people with her eyes and said the backgrounds of several experts with very strong strength.
“I don’t know the others very well, but presumably they must not be unknown people.” Yun Xuan gently took a breath. “They should all have heard the news of the coffin carrier’s birth and followed all the way.”
“Are these people also interested in the compensation given by the Coffin Carrier？” Yang Kai was stunned. There were several Transcendent Third-Order powerhouses among them. With their outstanding strength and status, Yang Kai felt that they shouldn’t care about such small profits.
“They’re indeed not interested in the compensation given by the Coffin Carrier, but the Coffin Carrier himself is a huge secret. Anyone wants to uncover his background and mystery. What they’re eyeing is the Coffin Carrier himself.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly, somewhat understanding.
Ji Yan was still discussing with those people, with a respectful attitude. Although he was the city lord of Blazing Fire City under the Solitary Pride League, with only a Transcendent First-Order cultivation, he was still a bit reserved in the front of these powerhouses.
After talking for a long time, Zou Xing of the Mysterious Heaven League nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, then we’ll wait for an hour. City Lord Ji, please hurry up.”
Yao Di of the Battle Soul Palace also gave a strange laugh a few times and said, “Heaven has the virtue of being kind to all living things. Naturally, we won’t go too far. City Lord Ji, go ahead.”
“Thank you all！” Ji Yan was extremely grateful and immediately flew back to arrange and deploy inside the city.
There were many martial artists staying in Blazing Fire City. Most of them didn’t have high strength. Once something happened here, they definitely wouldn’t have time to escape.
After clarifying the pros and cons, those who were willing to leave left immediately. Those who weren’t willing to leave, Ji Yan had no choice. Although he was the city lord, he couldn’t order those martial artists who didn’t belong to the Solitary Pride League to act.
An hour passed quickly.
Centered around the Coffin Carrier, the sky and the ground nearby were now surrounded tightly in three layers inside and outside. Every person who stayed stared at the Coffin Carrier with burning eyes, as if he was a steaming hot and delicious cake.
Ji Yan returned worriedly. After taking a look at the situation around, he helplessly sighed and shook his head continuously.
He had already done everything he should do. The people who were still here surely wouldn’t leave, and Ji Yan had no other way.
“Miss Yun, you all don’t go too far away from me. Although the Coffin Carrier won’t attack people, as long as the place where he appears, there will be great danger.” Ji Yan solemnly instructed, and Yun Xuan nodded seriously.
Among those dozens of powerhouses, Zou Xing suddenly walked out, stared at the Coffin Carrier, and loudly said： “Everyone has probably heard of the legend of the Coffin Carrier, right？ Hehe, today the opportunity is right in front of you all. You must not miss it. Those who want benefits can take action. Old man and others will guard the formation for you all！”
As soon as Zou Xing of the Xuantian Alliance came up, he instigated and seduced other martial artists to take action. Youdaoplaceholder0 he had no good intentions. Most people also knew it clearly in their hearts. But when they thought of the legends they had heard, there were still some people who couldn’t hold back and casually launched the attacks of their martial skills and secret treasures.
A dozen or so rays of light contains decent attacks. bombarding the coffin bearer who was closing his eyes and resting his mind. These attacks were at least the full strength blows of Jing experts, but they were like stones sinking into the sea disappearing without raising a single ripple when hitting the coffin bearer.
And the coffin bearer also had no reaction at all. He withstood such damage with just his physical body, looking completely indifferent, still closing his eyes and resting his mind.
The dozen or so people who made the move took a few steps back, vigilant for a long time. Seeing that the coffin bearer had no reaction, they were overjoyed and knew that the rumors were true. No matter how others attacked, the coffin bearer would not make a move against people.
Soon, more attacks were launched, overwhelming the extremely robust coffin bearer.
Boom boom boom…
The earth, and ravines were torn open one after another. The ground near the coffin bearer instantly shattered and chaotic energy raged beside him, producing unimaginable destructive power.
The coffin bearer still didn’t move.
All the onlookers among the martial artists made their moves and launched a full-scale attack.
Finally, the coffin bearer slowly opened his eyes, and a visible air wave sprayed out from his nostrils. He gasped heavily, and with his gasp, the air of the entire world stagnated for a moment.
Everyone who made a move couldn’t help but slow down their offensive, filled with dread and fear that the Coffin Carrier would counterattack. To their relief, even after suffering such an attack, the Coffin Carrier still didn’t fight back. He just stood there, looking at everything in the front of him with confused eyes, as if he still didn’t quite understand the situation.
Yang Kai was shocked. Only at this moment did he truly realize the terrifying aspect of the Coffin Carrier.
“Is this a Saint-level expert？” Yang Kai turned his head and looked at Yun Xuan.
“Yes！” Yun Xuan nodded.
Yang Kai’s eyes shrank.
A Saint-level expert had actually fallen to such a state. I wonder what kind of change had occurred in his life. Truly the affairs of the world are unpredictable.
“Why don’t those people make a move？” Ruan Xinyu looked at the group of people from the Thunderbolt Divine Cult and the Mysterious Heaven Alliance and asked softly.
“They are waiting！” Ji Yan sighed. “The defense of a Saint-level expert, even they need a great deal of strength to break. Now that there are so many free helpers, they are naturally happy to be at ease. However, they should be about to make a move soon.”
Just at this moment, the dozens of people who had followed the Coffin Carrier finally took action.
Yao Di of the Battle Soul Palace observed for a while and said, “It’s almost time, right? We should also contribute some strength. Otherwise, as more and more people come after hearing the news, things will be difficult to handle.”
“Alright.” Xu Qi nodded slightly. “The sooner we solve this, the sooner we can go back and report. We’ve been following him for a month, and these old bones are also a bit tired from running.”
“Then let’s do it！” Zou Xing also nodded in agreement.
These three people reached a unified opinion, and naturally no one else would say more, and they all sacrificed their secret treasures one after another.
Bursts of magnificent and surging auras suddenly spread out, and numerous secret treasures and martial skills, like stars falling, descended on the coffin carrier one after another, many times more ferocious than the offensive of those miscellaneous people just now.
Rumble…
The earth cracked, and within a radius of a hundred miles, there was an earth-shattering tremor.
Such an offensive finally made the coffin carrier react. Many wounds cracked on his body, and the sarcomas and pustules also burst open in an instant, and a thick green gas flowed out from his body.
As soon as these gases appeared, everyone felt a taste of death coming.
Zi la la…
Wherever the green gas passed, the earth became lifeless and was instantly dyed green, extremely terrifying.
Moreover, the spreading speed of these gases was extremely fast, expanding ferociously like an explosion.
Some warriors who were relatively close didn’t have time to dodge and were directly swallowed by these gases. Without even making a sound, their bodies turned into blood and disappeared without a trace.
