Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death.

Chapter 41 Although I was wrong, don't you bear any responsibility?

The white blade of the Cloud-Slaying Sword was covered by raging crimson flames, making it exceptionally bright in the darkness.

The next second, the soaring crimson flames retreated continuously, withdrawing from the sword body to the blade. Judging from the appearance alone, the light did not become brighter, but rather seemed to dim.

However, if you can sense the fluctuations in the air, you'll find that the magical energy has changed from its original chaotic state to become incredibly solid.

—This is never a sad departure, but rather a frantic ebb before the tsunami arrives.

The magic tool tapped lightly several times in succession, and Xu Fang approached from above.

A centurion terracotta warrior spotted him; its decaying, hollow eyes saw the sword in his hand, and without hesitation, it turned its horse around and thrust its spear at him.

Earth and light/fire attributes, stabs and cuts, bone horses and magical artifacts.

A single glance.

It was just a fleeting encounter; Xu Fang brushed past the centurion, and then... nothing more?

Xu Fang continued his attack, while the centurion terracotta warrior turned his horse around and gave the command to charge the skeletal horse. The massive battle seemed to end abruptly and without warning.

Hiss!

The bony horse raised its front hooves, about to trample its weak enemy into dust as usual, when it suddenly stopped.

His eyes, burning with eerie ghostly flames, were filled with confusion, and he subconsciously turned his head to look behind him.

It saw half of its owner.

literal meaning.

The centurion terracotta warrior's imposing upper body is lying on the ground, while its lower body is still sitting on the horse's back, like freshly slaughtered beef. The cow is dead, but its nerves are still there, gripping the horse's belly to make a forward movement.

The centurion terracotta warrior on the ground stretched out his hand, wanting to touch his lower body, but just as his hand was halfway out, a dazzling light enveloped it.

Magical energy, remnants of the soul—all emptied out.

Centurion, die!

Xu Fang experienced the new skill. Compared with the many functions of his previous skills, this Yangyan Light Slash was surprisingly simple.

All you need is a container; it can be a demon-slaying tool, an iron rod, or even a stone or a leftover skewer from a barbecue.

Then the power of "Yangyan" can be attached to it, and the enormous energy is condensed into an extreme sharpness, breaking through the surface with a line or a point.

If I had to describe it, it would be like Seven's ice axe, Jack's bracelet, or Ace's guillotine.

Even a centurion-level terracotta warrior couldn't withstand a single blow.

The only drawback is that, unlike other skills, Sunfire Slash can't steal or plunder; all its features are focused on attack.

But that's not a big deal.

Could you follow up with a Crimson Fire Array or Radiant Purification?

Since a general-level creature's legacy is so substantial, killing it and taking the remaining value is a sure-fire way to make a profit...

Thinking of this, Xu Fang couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, every vein in his body was flowing with the black blood of those who had exploited demons and the dead.

He set his sights on the second centurion.

cut!

suck!

Instead of suffering a loss, Magic Energy became even wealthier.

Sure enough, generals are much more likable than poor bastards like servants who have nothing to do with each other!

Kawaii!

"Hahaha, again!"

Xu Fang laughed somewhat neurotically, his greatsword moving incredibly fast as he caressed the third centurion, vowing that he and his terracotta warrior would never be separated.

Clang!

His body was suddenly lifted into the air, and a tremendous force came from behind. Finally, the centurion launched a sneak attack, disregarding all martial ethics, and tried to pierce Xu Fang's heart with a spear from behind.

"Ouch, that really hurts..."

Xu Fang slowly stood up from the ground, reached behind him, and found that a piece of the bright silver armor that had blocked the attack for him had broken.

"Little Bai'er, do you know how much this armored demon tool is worth?"

"I won't ask for much. It's reasonable for me to repay you with my body, isn't it?"

"Be good, it'll be over soon!"

—While the main reason was that I got carried away and acted recklessly, don't you bear any responsibility for the sneak attack?

Sinai!

Take it all in one go.

The Centurion Terracotta Warriors have a fairly high chance of dropping treasures; four of them yielded one essence. Unfortunately, I'm not an undead, so I can't retrieve it and can only use it as milk powder for Xingzi.

Within the stardust, the energy was so abundant it was about to overflow, filling the light membrane that bound it completely, making the mid-level avenue wide and expansive.

Only then did Xu Fang get a clear look at the surrounded figure.

"Company Commander!"

He Ming's military uniform was completely shattered, with dust and bloodstains stuck together. His remaining magic power could no longer support the Holy Shield's consumption, and his aura was as weak as an ordinary person's.

"Take me...back."

He Ming opened his mouth and squeezed out these words.

Without hesitation, Xu Fang carried He Ming on his back, no longer wanting to fight, and urged his magic-wielding tools to rush towards the city wall at full speed.

But Murphy's Law tells you that what you want will either not come when it's supposed to, or it will never come when it's not supposed to.

Along the way, a continuous stream of terracotta warriors surrounded and tried to stop him. Xu Fang didn't want to get entangled with them. Although he was the type who got stronger the more he fought, He Ming on his back was about to give out!

"Get out of here!"

Using magic, Xu Fang quickly cleared a path and rushed past the terracotta warriors on both sides before they could surround him.

What weighed heavily on his mind was that outside the encirclement, there was another encirclement, endless and like a quagmire.

Relying solely on his own strength, Xu Fang could easily break through, but the chances of him breaking through before He Ming breathed his last were slim.

He Ming's consciousness was already fading, so Xu Fang decided to take a gamble.

"Fluorescence, Radiance, Blindness!"

When Xu Fang used the initial level three Radiance, it was like a dazzling sun, which he hurled into the sky, attracting the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

Once the other military mages see this, they will certainly do their best to come.

But this also put him in the spotlight. Before that... Xu Fang looked at the even larger number of terracotta warriors and gripped the Zhan Yun sword tightly.

I can only rely on myself!

······

Quantity is the truth, Xu Fang deeply agrees.

He had just easily killed a centurion of general rank, but when faced with a vast army of slave-level terracotta warriors, he was at a loss.

The Yangyan Light Slash is unusable, killing slaves is not enough to make ends meet, and the depleted magic energy is enough to wear Xu Fang down. He will be tackled and over a dozen layers of enemies will be stacked on top of him in less than half a minute.

A high-temperature core is a good idea; it's like having an invincible shield when facing servants.

—But when the time comes, He Ming, who is also burned to a crisp while lying on Xu Fang's back, will most likely have something to say.

Other skills, however, do not have a large enough damage range, and often do not kill as many as the supplementary skills.

The encirclement grew smaller and smaller. Without the command of the general terracotta warrior, the terracotta warriors were in chaos, no different from ordinary undead, crowding and rushing forward.

"Fluorescent, Radiant, Dazzling!"

Xu Fang controlled the star, sacrificing its destructive power to expand its range of influence.

Under the light, most of the terracotta warriors only had their outer armor destroyed, but they were still brandishing their weapons and continuing to attack.

Xu Fang took the bomb out of his pocket, poured a wisp of magical energy into it without hesitation, and threw it out with great force.

boom!!!!!

The bomb, which had been re-optimized by the military's forging masters, was indeed much stronger than Xu Fang's original version, and it even had a built-in shock effect.

In a moment of earth-shattering chaos, the terracotta warriors, now reduced to crispy skin, were swept away in one wave.

"cut!"

Xu Fang didn't stop for a moment, urging the Zhan Yun Sword to activate its inherent skill.

His legs slammed into the ground, rendering his newly repaired bronze boots completely useless. Using that force, Xu Fang twisted and turned in a way that would make even Newton weep.

The sword's edge transformed into a halo, and the terracotta warriors chasing behind were also harvested.

He tore open a gap in the encirclement that was about to close.

Through the gaps between the terracotta warriors, Xu Fang saw streaks of shimmering starlight and increasingly approaching magical fluctuations.

The reinforcements have finally arrived!
