This end.
Gregory Xander and his group were struggling to fend off the living corpses rushing at them.
"We must defend the barrier!"
The barrier behind them was holding back hundreds of living corpses.
If the barrier failed and the corpses broke free, the four of them would have nowhere to run.
Evan Anson, with reddened eyes, was gritting his teeth alongside Nathan White to maintain the barrier behind them, while Gregory Xander and Senior Brother Jingze were desperately holding off the attackers.
However, it was too tough for the two of them alone to fend off hundreds of living corpses.
Gregory Xander, in a moment of carelessness, had his arm bitten by a living corpse that had rushed up to him.
"Gregory Xander!"
Evan Anson exclaimed in shock, only to hear Gregory Xander grit his teeth and say,
"I’m fine!"
Just now, he clearly felt warmth in his chest, as the amulet from the Mystical Sect competition protected him.
But that was just this once.
Next time, he might not be so lucky.
As he was thinking this, he heard another gasp behind him.
A living corpse had attacked Nathan White from the other side.
"Ah!" Evan Anson gasped softly again.
But at the moment the living corpse was about to bite Nathan White, it was suddenly stopped by the spikes protruding from Nathan White’s arm.
Nathan White kicked the living corpse two meters away and then whispered,
"I’m fine too."
Evan Anson: ...
Alright then.
"By the power of the Dark Moon and the Nether, let the Hundred Gods Return to Life, may the decree come, banish the ghosts by the thousands... retreat!"
Gregory Xander cast a spirit talisman, causing the living corpses in front of him to momentarily withdraw, only to charge at them again.
The living corpses that had been immobilized by the talisman were also freed as they bumped against each other.
If they didn’t kill them outright, it would never end.
But... these villagers were only half-living corpses.
As long as the daylight emerged, they might turn back into ordinary people...
Wait, daylight!
As if he thought of something, Gregory Xander bit his finger and began drawing a talisman in the air like Scarlett Jennings had done earlier.
The runes gradually gathered, and spiritual light shone forth.
The next second, several beams of white light appeared!
For a moment, the living corpses charging at them froze, allowing Senior Brother Jingze to quickly immobilize most of the living corpses in front of them and seal them into the barrier.
Seeing the situation improve, just then, several of them noticed the sudden strike of purple lightning from the west of the village.
Gregory Xander’s heart stirred, "It’s Scarlett Jennings!"
Senior Brother Jingze was a bit surprised to see such purple thunder, and it coming from that young girl?
No wonder she dared to seek out the mastermind alone.
Without time for further thought, seeing the majority of the living corpses controlled, Senior Brother Jingze quickly informed Gregory Xander and the others before rushing toward where Scarlett Jennings was.
...
Over there.
Scarlett Jennings went forth with her sword to meet the Blood Fiend, slicing off half of its arm with the first strike.
The black mist-infused blood sprayed, landing on the ground and transforming into a smelly puddle of black blood.
Nolan Snyder furrowed his brow as he watched her actions, yet noticed that each strike of hers was delivered with great precision.
After several exchanges, none of the living souls within the Blood Fiend had been harmed in the slightest.
"Could it be that you can see the positions of those living souls?!"
Impossible!
Even with Harmony Eyes, how could one see souls already devoured by the Blood Fiend with the naked eye?
Scarlett Jennings didn’t answer, her face cold as she sliced off another half of the Blood Fiend’s shoulder.
She could indeed see them.
But not with Harmony Eyes.
