Chapter 104: Reinforcements from the Apocalypse Order
The retreat time of the man in black was later than Lu Chengfeng expected.
Perhaps thinking that Kaiyang's reinforcements could not come so soon, Lu Chengfeng waited for three hours after they finished their hands and feet before waiting for those black-clothed people to evacuate. At the beginning, it was a team of five or six men in black. Behind them, in less than half an hour, seven or eight squads returned one after another!
There were so many men in black, which frightened the people of the two mercenary groups.
"There are no less than three seventh-order, at least ten sixth-order, and thirty or forty fifth-order. Such a force can be counted in the entire Kaiyang. The boss of the sword touched his beard, thinking about it while watching, of course, he was a little afraid and happy.
At this time, with the arrival of the last few men in black, they completed their assembly. After letting go of the carrion and letting them run wild, the men in black all boarded the ship and signaled to evacuate. Lu Chengfeng and the boss of the sword have been waiting for this scene for a long time, and they can't help but look forward to it.
The flying boat that let go of the power operation flew smoothly into the sky after stirring up a wave of air. But just as it was more than twenty meters above the ground and gradually preparing to accelerate, the flying ship suddenly shook violently. Then, with a faint explosion and exclamation, the flying ship shook violently, and suddenly remained at its original height and did not move!
The man in black on the ship suddenly stirred.
Seeing that the flying ship really stopped flying, Lu Chengfeng and the boss of the sword looked at each other and smiled. Although they could only see a faint outline from a long distance, the two could guess the turmoil and panic on the flying ship. The man in black who thought he could leave smoothly is probably dumbfounded now, right?
The boss of the sword overlord looked at the flying ship in the black air in the distance from a distance, and said, "We have done everything we can do, now it depends on when the master who came to the rescue will arrive." β
Lu Chengfeng nodded, and echoed, "I hope they can be faster, of course, it is better that there are no technicians among those men in black who are proficient in repairing flying ships." β
Of course, this is a bit of an extravagant hope, but if the other party's level is not perfect, repairing an energy hub that has been burned out, even if there is a replacement in advance, it is estimated that it will take several hours. If the masters of the Apocalypse Sect galloped thousands of miles to help at any cost, even if they couldn't catch up, they might be able to follow the trails they left behind.
At this time, after the initial panic, the man in black gradually calmed down. After checking and confirming that the flying ship had been tampered with, a large number of black-clothed people on board began a comprehensive search, and soon found the bodies of the crew members hidden by Lu Chengfeng and them. Now, they were completely sure that an enemy had infiltrated. While repairing the ship, some of the men in black jumped off the ship and began to search the vicinity, hoping to spot the enemies that invaded the airship!
Lu Chengfeng and the boss of the sword were not so stupid, and retreated to the safe area early.
This aimless search did not last long, and after half an hour, the man in black, who had not found anything, realized that the enemy had probably fled long ago. After the ship re-signaled the rally, the men in black retreated.
This guard is two hours.
Under the disappointed gaze of Lu Chengfeng and the Sword Boss, the flying ship of the man in black was quickly repaired and restarted. Relying on the means reserved in advance, after the airship took off, the zenith barrier automatically opened, allowing the airship to take off smoothly and accelerate westward.
"It's a pity~"
So many people in black all escaped on flying ships, and if they missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to chase them again. It's just that Lu Chengfeng and the boss of the sword are limited, even if they feel sorry, they are helpless. After watching the enchantment close again, Lu Chengfeng thought about it and led people to the center of the ruins.
Without the men in black, they were going there to destroy the magic circle that controlled the enchantment.
Because there were only sporadic statue guards and rotting corpses left, the ruins were now relatively safe. A group of people didn't delay too long, and they successfully came to the magic array that controlled the enchantment. Outside the magic array, they saw a magic puppet that could be controlled by a mental remote, and there were a large number of rotting corpse guards around it.
If you guessed correctly, the man in black used this puppet to remotely control the magic array.
"Let's do it. β
Lu Chengfeng beckoned, ready to destroy this magic array, but at this moment, the black enchantment above his head shook violently. The unusually faint fluctuation made everyone in the enchantment can't help but look up.
After only four or five seconds, the barrier shook again.
The two successive blows made the power of the enchantment quickly subside, and Lu Chengfeng was able to see the situation outside. There were two priests who shone with golden light, standing on the bow of the flying ship suspended above the barrier, chanting the Heavenly Apocalypse Sacred Technique to bombard the barrier one after another. That powerful force, hitting the barrier, made the barrier even darker with every blow.
Immediately afterward, dozens of griffons flew at high speed from the direction of Kaiyang, and the clergy riding above also joined the attack in turn.
Looking at the super sword qi that was so powerful that it dragged out dozens of meters away, Lu Chengfeng easily judged the strength of the two leading holy priestsβat least they were also at the eighth order high level. Aside from strength and realm, they are already comparable to Lu Chengfeng before their death in the Douqi rank.
"It's someone from the Apocalypse Order!"
I don't know who shouted first, and the mercenaries around Lu Chengfeng cheered one after another. Lu Chengfeng also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they didn't have to worry about the next thing.
With the last earth-shaking attack, the black barrier of the zenith shattered. The clergy on the flying ship, began to lower the altitude in preparation for the landing. Without the restraint of the enchantment, those rich black aura quickly dissipated into the air like snow in the sun. The griffin knights also began to drop down a sacred potion that could banish the plague and curse, as if it were raining lightly.
In just half a minute, the originally ghostly undead realm was quickly purified to its original state.
The wind blew, and the smell of corruption dispersed, and the remnants of the Spirit Race seemed to have recovered to what they had been two days ago. It's just that the originally lush forest has all withered and withered. The small river in the center of the Spirit Clan's ruins has also completely turned into stagnant water. There are only a few rotting corpses left that are still active, silently showing everything that happened before!
In the depths of the Spirit Ruins, the cheers of others could be faintly heard. Obviously, not only Lu Chengfeng and them, but also other mercenaries have escaped the hunt of the men in black because of luck or strength, and have survived until now.
"Did that guy with the Blood Knife escape the final purge?"
Lu Chengfeng thought as he looked at the priests of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect who fell from the sky. It is said that the Blood Knife was seriously injured this time, and it was severely damaged by Lu Chengfeng's sneak attack, so it should be difficult to escape the final sweep of the man in black. However, that guy's strength is much stronger than that of ordinary martial artists of the same rank, and he has a fellow swordsman. If the two Sixth-Order Orders were careful and deliberately avoided the man in black, it was not impossible for them to survive.
"Okay, now that everyone is completely safe and can go out. β
The boss of the sword didn't know what Lu Chengfeng was thinking, but when he was emotional, he greeted with a smile and led people to the outside of the ruins.
.........
The main entrance to the Elven Ruins.
Three modified shuttle-shaped airships were parked here in a zigzag shape, and there were twenty priests scattered around, both to defend the airships and to be vigilant for a possible attack by the men in black. Next to them was the mercenary whom Lu Chengfeng had only known for a short time, and the hero who drove Magadha back to Kaiyang to call for rescue, Chen Liu!
At this moment, there was not much joy in his eyebrows, but more anxiety. Whenever a surviving mercenary came out, he would look out from afar.
"Boss Lu!"
Half an hour later, Chen Liu, who was becoming more and more worried, finally saw Lu Chengfeng's figure. He shouted excitedly and waved his hand vigorously at Lu Chengfeng.
Next to him, several high-ranking priests also turned their heads curiously and looked over with a smile.
The gravity of this incident was largely clear to several clergymen. On the way here, they had already asked Chen Liu in detail. For Lu Chengfeng's decisive actions, these high-ranking priests all felt impeccable. Such people, they naturally want to see them in person.
Walking out with the Eternal Mercenary Group and the people who overlord the sword, Lu Chengfeng's mood also improved. Seeing Chen Liu coming, he stretched out his fist and confronted Chen Liu, smiling, "Well done! Reinforcements came in time!"
Chen Liu also laughed and said, "Boss Lu, it's okay if you're fine." β
"Your Excellency is Lu Chengfeng?" Seeing that the two of them had finished their brief greetings, the high-ranking priest in the middle wearing a set of Breaking Dawn Battle Armor looked him up and down, and said appreciatively: "First saved the priest of our Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, and then snatched Magadha from the cultists, and asked his friend to return to report the news, and re-enter the ruins himself." Looks like all of these friends have accepted your help!"
Lu Chengfeng smiled a little reservedly, at this time, it should be his credit to admit it directly, and there is no need to hide humility.
"I have to thank you for everything!" The high-ranking priest who was not angry and arrogant bowed to Lu Chengfeng, and then said, "After receiving the news, our Heavenly Apocalypse Sect has the strength to send a large number of masters to come. Despite all the best efforts, it seems that it is still a little late. Most of the crazy cultists seem to have fled. β
"It's not just cultists. β
Lu Chengfeng corrected his statement, and then recounted what he had seen and heard in the enchantment, and finally attached his own speculation: "The leader of this incident is likely to be the high-level of the Earth Soul Sect. They had already discovered this ruin, and after carefully arranging it, they seemed to accidentally but actually took the initiative to leak the news, attracting a large number of mercenaries. β
