Chapter 1054 - 380: You Should Be Grateful—You’ve Been Atoning All Along!

However, at this moment, the black tide is caught in an unprecedented whirlpool of chaos!

Fang Qingyu’s figure is completely wrapped in the brilliant, flowing starlight.

Star Remnant Form fully activated.

His body, clad in deep Star Crystal Armor, weaves through the dense crowd of Life Ghosts.

The speed is too fast, leaving trails in the naked eye.

Only slaughter!

Endless slaughter!

Chaos spreads rapidly within the Destiny Ghost Army like a plague.

Ahead, the human defense line is within reach.

Behind, an unstoppable and terrifying presence continuously harvests lives.

The instinctive fear of the Low Tier Life Ghosts begins to overwhelm the enforced discipline.

Some of the outer Life Ghosts have already started to retreat uncontrollably.

"Damn it, it’s you again!!!"

Just as Fang Qingyu clears an area of Life Ghosts once more.

Prepared to turn to the next target.

A roar filled with boundless rage suddenly explodes from the slope above the army.

The terrifying air wave accompanying this roar presses down, flinging dozens of Life Ghosts below into the air.

A breath instantly locks onto Fang Qingyu.

Fang Qingyu’s figure suddenly pauses.

Without a glance, the starlight under his feet flashes brightly.

Only a slowly dissipating starlight afterimage is left on the spot.

Boom!!!

A fist covered in bluish-gray wraps carries the sound of tearing air and thick, earthy yellow light.

It slams fiercely onto the spot where Fang Qingyu was just moments ago.

The earth shakes violently.

A massive pit over ten meters in diameter instantly forms.

A raging shock wave bursts in a circle.

Throwing dozens of Life Ghosts near the pit’s edge, unable to escape, sending them flying while cracking their bones and sinews.

Amidst the smoke and debris.

A figure as tall and mighty as a Demon God slowly descends.

It stands nearly three meters tall, its body entirely covered in bluish-gray stone-like skin.

Cracked lines spread over the surface, seeming ready to shatter at any moment.

Two curved giant horns like those of a bull atop its head.

Another of the Life Ghost royal lineage.

Rock Giant Spirit.

Its enormous eyes burning with wrath lock onto Fang Qingyu, now appearing dozens of meters away on the opposite side of the pit.

"It’s you again! It’s you again!!!"

The Rock Giant Spirit’s voice reverberates through the air with a humming sound, filled with seething rage.

It recognizes Fang Qingyu.

In the nearly 20 days...

Fang Qingyu has attacked their Destiny Ghost Army dozens of times!!!

Each time coming and going swiftly after slaughter.

Every time, leaving them, the royal lineage, struggling in vain.

New and old grudges instantly shatter its already irritable reasoning.

With a vicious stomp on the ground, the giant spirit’s vast body bursts forth with terrifying speed uncharacteristic of its size.

Once more charging fiercely at Fang Qingyu.

However, at the instant it charges —

"Woo—Woo—Woo—!!!"

A desolate and powerful horn sound.

Suddenly bursts from the direction of the human defense line at Cold Bone Fjord, tearing through the cold wind, echoing through the sky!

Immediately followed by a roar bursting like a tidal wave, forming an iron flood stream:

"Kill—!!!"

"For humanity, for fallen brothers! Slay these beasts!!!"

Ji Wuya leads the charge.

His white hair flying in the wild wind, the Dark Gold General Armor reflects a cold light.

The gigantic Horse-cutting Saber in his hand transforms into a streak tearing through the sky.

Behind him, human warriors surge like floodwaters breaking a dam.

The timing is exquisite.

The Rock Giant Spirit’s forward charging momentum suddenly halts, turning back in shock and fury.

Only to see the human army like a sharpened blade heated red.

Piercing ruthlessly into the Destiny Ghost forefront lines.

The already chaotic Destiny Ghost Army is instantly torn open by several massive breaches under the humans’ long-prepared violent counterattack.

Under attack from both flanks.

The army’s morale is utterly shaken.

The Rock Giant Spirit lets out a roar filled with unbearable rage.

It smashes its rock fist onto the ground, venting uncontainable fury.

But it knows the situation is dire.

If it continues to be entangled, not only will it fail to kill that damn human.

Its hard-earned assembled army will likely be sacrificed here.

Preserve what can be saved.

This thought instantly overpowers the anger.

The Rock Giant Spirit casts one last look at Fang Qingyu, letting out a roar of discontent.

Its vast body suddenly bursts forth with intense earthy yellow light.

With a powerful push of its legs, the massive body shoots towards the sky like a cannonball, attempting to escape this imminently collapsing battlefield.

The royal lineage.

It means it has the capital to make a comeback after defeat.

However...

At the instant its body was just a few meters above the ground.

A starburst far more brilliant and sharp than ever before suddenly crashed down from the upper left.

The target directly aimed at its inevitable path of ascension.

"Seeking death!"

The Rock Giant Spirit roared in shock and anger, yet its reaction was exceptionally swift.

Its massive body forcibly twisted in mid-air.

The rocky giant arms darted out like lightning, grabbing to the left and right.

"Roar! Roar!"

Two unfortunate, large Tier Three Life Ghosts were caught in mid-air like chicks.

In the eyes of the Rock Giant Spirit, there was no trace of mercy, its muscles bulged on its arms, earth-yellow light surged wildly.

It viciously hurled these two Life Ghosts towards the descending starburst.

Pfft! Pfft!

The starburst penetrated the bodies of the two Life Ghosts without any hindrance.

Blowing them into two foul-smelling blood mists in mid-air.

But these two meat shields ultimately bought a little precious time.

And slightly deflected the original trajectory of the starburst.

The brilliant starburst scraped past the shoulder of the Rock Giant Spirit covered in thick rocks.

The skin of hard rock plowed open a bone-deep, charred, smoking terrifying trench.

Foul green blood spurted out like a fountain.

"Ugh!"

The Rock Giant Spirit let out a painful groan.

Yet leveraging the impact, its massive body flew diagonally in another direction like a runaway meteor with greater speed.

In the blink of an eye, it became a rapidly shrinking earth-yellow dot on the horizon.

Disappearing without a trace.

Fang Qingyu’s figure slowly solidified at the place where the starburst struck.

The star eyes coldly glanced in the direction where the giant spirit vanished, without pursuing.

Do not chase a cornered foe, especially one that is heart-set on escape, thick-skinned, and tough like a Life Ghost royal.

Anyway, his goal had been achieved.

In the battlefield below, long before the royal turned and ran, other Life Ghosts also did not hesitate.

Frantically fleeing towards the crevices of the Ice Cliffs on both sides.

A defeated army is like a collapsed mountain.

The shouts of human warriors completely dominated this Ice Valley.

The overall situation was settled.

Fang Qingyu suspended in mid-air, surrounded by swirling star light, quietly overlooked the lopsided chase below.

He did not make another move.

At this moment, an elderly voice penetrated the din of the battlefield, clearly entering his ears:

"Thank you this time."

Fang Qingyu slowly lowered his head.

Below, on a battlefield strewn with corpses, the old General Ji Wuya leaned on that gigantic Horse-cutting Saber, raising his head to gaze at him in the sky.

The old general’s armor was stained with blood, his white hair was disheveled.

His face was covered with smoke and bloodstains.

But his posture remained straight like a spear, his gaze very complex.

Fang Qingyu’s starry eyes remained calm and unperturbed.

Without responding to the gratitude, his lips slightly moved, voice directly ringing in Ji Wuya’s mind:

"You should be glad..."

"You have always been redeeming yourself."

"And..."

"Someone helped you repay the biggest debt."

Upon hearing these words.

Ji Wuya’s hand gripping the sword handle suddenly tightened, fingers turned deathly pale from exertion.

The old face marked by bloodshot eyes and weather, instantly drained of all color.

Leaving only a deathly ash-like paleness.

His body shook, seemingly at once deprived of all vitality, appearing more hunched.

Fang Qingyu gave one last glance at the hunched, speechless Ji Wuya below.

His gaze remained indifferent, with no hint of emotion.

If he were pitiable.

Those abducted people.

Would have to claw their way up from underground.

And below, countless blood-soaked human warriors pursuing fleeing soldiers also noticed the god-like figure in the sky.

"God Fang! It’s God Fang!!!"

"Long live God Fang!!"

"Kill! Follow God Fang to kill all the Life Ghosts!!"

Frenzied shouts erupted like waves across the battlefield.

Fang Qingyu did not linger any longer.

Star light around him suddenly intensified, turning into a dazzling meteor tearing through the sky.

Facing the first golden-red light piercing lead clouds from the rising sun.

Heading towards the City of Dawn.

Instantly vanished at the horizon’s edge.

Leaving behind earth-shattering cheers on the Cold Bone Fjord battlefield.

And at the center of the Ice Valley, the old general standing like a statue in the morning light with the Horse-cutting Saber.
