Chapter 164: Summon the Undead Army, Crush Everything!

These Hunters didn't even stop to think: what level of creature is the giant snake, and what level are they?

At this moment, Cao Xing gave a direct order: "Rabb, lead the other Wild Boar Warriors and assist Sarah in taking out these Hunter Assassins."

"Renis, leave the archers over there to you!"

"Everyone else, take out this group of Hunter Warriors as quickly as possible!"

The four Wild Boar Warriors obeyed the order, brandishing their twin blades as they charged forward!

They were only Tier 3 creatures, a significant gap from these Tier 4 Elites.

However, because they were covered in powerful buffs, they didn't feel the slightest bit intimidated while facing such formidable assassins.

Swish! Swish, swish!

Seven or eight machetes hacked away frantically without hesitation.

Suddenly besieged by the four Wild Boar Warriors, Sarah, and the others, the pressure on this group of Hunter Assassins skyrocketed!

The battlefields in other areas also stabilized.

This meant that the Hunters' wave of attacks had been neutralized.

Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, that White-robed Priest didn't come over."

"Otherwise, this guy has at least Tier 4 Leader-level strength, and being a mage, his lethality would be too terrifying."

At this moment, the High White-robed Priest was waving his staff, continuously inflicting damage on the giant black snake.

Massive orbs of light descended, causing the black snake to hiss continuously from the impact.

[ – 3751 ]

[ – 3364 ]

[ – 3571 ]

Terrifying damage numbers appeared one after another.

The High White-robed Priest was at least at the Tier 4 Leader level; his damage was terrifying!

Coupled with the two Head-level Black-robed Priests, the black snake's HP had already been pushed below 40,000!

The High White-robed Priest also saw the scene below.

The dozen or so Tier 4 Elites he had sent out were actually being suppressed!

At this moment, the High White-robed Priest took a long, deep look at this group of people.

Having watched the battle from outside just now, he had already held these people's strength in high regard; otherwise, he wouldn't have sent out so many Tier 4 Elites at once.

However, the opponent's strength still exceeded his expectations.

Just then, the black snake seemed to realize that if this continued, it would die at the hands of these humans.

It raised its snake head high and let out a hiss.

"Hiss!!!"

The next moment, a shocking burst of black energy erupted from its body!

Furthermore, recovery numbers started popping up above its head.

+ 1173

+ 1173

This was none other than the black snake's special skill, [Dark Body].

Seeing this, the High White-robed Priest's heart tightened.

"Damn it! This black snake has activated the dark power within its body again!"

"Interrupt it!"

Upon hearing this, the two Black-robed Priests immediately raised their weapons and charged.

However, under the effect of the [Dark Body] skill, the giant snake's condition had reached its peak!

It hadn't even been forced to use this method when it fought Cao Xing earlier.

Now that its HP had dropped to a dangerous level, it had no choice but to use it.

It swatted the two Black-robed Priests in front of it away time and time again, and even tried to charge at this High White-robed Priest!

At the same time, the elite Hunters below were calling for help, "High Priest! These guys are too strong; we are no match for them!"

Unexpected situations occurred on both battlefields simultaneously!

The High White-robed Priest's gaze sank instantly.

He hadn't expected that while he intended to be the oriole that catches the mantis, he would discover that both the mantis and the cicada before him possessed strength that exceeded his estimations!

The White-robed Priest glanced at the entrance, a look of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

"Should I send everyone in now to besiege this black snake?"

After a moment of thought, the White-robed Priest immediately shook his head.

"No, a black snake using dark power is extremely powerful; we can't keep it here on our own."

"And the people outside are the measures I left behind to prevent the black snake from escaping!"

"This black snake is the key to the plan; nothing can go wrong."

After thinking for a moment, he made his decision: he would proceed with the original plan.

He said in a stern tone, "I order you to stop this group of humans at all costs!"

"The Church will remember your contributions!"

At this moment, he no longer cared about the life or death of the Hunters below, focusing instead on dealing with the black snake.

Raising his staff, he unleashed successive light magic spells onto the black snake, inflicting terrifying damage.

In the blink of an eye, the black snake's HP had dropped below 30,000.

As a Tier 4 Leader-level creature, the black snake already possessed sentience and exceptional intelligence.

It knew that if it stayed any longer, it would really die here!

At this moment, the black snake suddenly whipped its tail around violently.

Bang! Bang!

A tremendous force struck, and the two Black-robed Priests were sent flying.

It then bolted directly toward the gap in the tribe!

Rumble!

The momentum of the black snake's escape was astonishing!

The High Priest was just about to give chase.

Just then, a figure appeared near them.

Cao Xing had somehow crept up to a position a few hundred meters away from him.

This position was exactly at the limit of Cao Xing's attack range.

Cao Xing said with a smile on his face, "Bastard, you're trying to steal my mob, huh?"

"If I can't have it, don't you even think about getting it either!"

He raised his staff directly and unleashed the skill [Extreme Ice Bloom] once again!

Instantly, a hexagram magic circle erupting with cold air appeared, enveloping the High White-robed Priest and the two Black-robed Priests.

Their mobility was drastically reduced!

At this moment.

The High White-robed Priest could only watch helplessly as the black snake slipped through the gap in the tribe!

Then, he turned his head and looked at Cao Xing with a sinister gaze.

"Kid, do you have any idea how long we prepared to deal with this black snake?"

"If this black snake escapes, I will make you wish you were dead!"

Cao Xing retorted mercilessly, "You old bastard, you're pretty arrogant, aren't you?"

"You wanted to be the oriole but lacked the ability, and now you're here getting all worked up?"

The High White-robed Priest chuckled upon hearing this, "Do you think this is enough to disrupt us from killing that black snake?"

"You're overthinking it; we prepared plenty of contingencies to deal with this black snake."

"The power possessed by the Church of Light far exceeds your imagination!"

At the same time, the sounds of intense fighting erupted outside the tribe.

It seemed like another team was fighting the black snake.

Seeing this, Cao Xing frowned.

Meanwhile, a playful look appeared in the High White-robed Priest's eyes.

"Ashir, Beno, you two go over there and kill this ignorant kid."

"I'm going outside to kill that black snake."

The two Black-robed Priests obeyed the order and instantly raised their weapons, charging over.

As for him, he headed straight for the outside.

Cao Xing's eyes widened.

"Huh? Want to leave?"

"Sarah, stop him!"

The Dark Elf in the shadows appeared instantly and threw a Crippling Dagger.

Pfft!

[ – 2367 ]

The White-robed Priest's mobility was instantly greatly reduced; he limped, turned his head, and glared angrily at Cao Xing!

"You are courting death!"

Seeing how angry he was, Cao Xing became even more amused.

"Sarah, keep holding him back; annoy this old thing to death."

"Assam, Muxue, come over and protect me!"

Sarah obeyed the order, appeared beside the White-robed Priest, and launched a fierce offensive against him!

At the same time, the two knights heard Cao Xing's voice and rushed over quickly.

Under the buff of the Queens Will, their movement speed was lightning fast.

Cao Xing quickly scanned the attributes of the two charging Black-robed Priests and the White-robed Priest.

(Description: Because Alfonso had a keen perception of the light element from a young age, he was scouted by the Church of Light, which invested significant resources in his training, allowing him to become a Tier 4 Leader-level existence in just over a decade.)

"Good grief, this White-robed Priest is a bit fierce!"

Cao Xing immediately became vigilant.

A Tier 4 Leader-level mage's burst power was enough to cause them grievous harm.

But Cao Xing wasn't afraid of him, let alone the trump card in his hand, the [Ascalon Book of the Dead].

It wasn't like he hadn't dealt with Tier 4 Leaders before; hadn't that giant snake almost been taken down by him?

A Tier 4 Leader wasn't worth him using the Book of the Dead yet.

At this moment, the White-robed Priest was held up by Sarah, and the two Black-robed Priests were also intercepted by Cao Xing's two knights.

The sounds of battle outside were growing louder and louder, and the White-robed Priest appeared increasingly anxious.

This wasn't how the original plan was supposed to go!

They had long since figured out the giant snake's strength and knew it would have several berserk stages!

This Otherworld Lord had forced out the giant snake's first berserk stage.

Which made the High White-robed Priest feel even more confident of victory.

So he decided to split off a portion of his elites to take out this group of humans.

And then he would lead the others to intercept the giant snake and trigger its second berserk stage.

Even if the giant snake escaped, there were still a large number of Hunters he had left outside who could stall the berserk giant snake for a while.

Then he would go out himself and kill the Great Serpent with his own hands.

However, this damned Otherworld Lord had stopped him.

In this way, with the forces outside, it was absolutely impossible to stop the berserk Great Serpent.

At this moment, the white-robed priest was fighting Sarah while hating Cao Xing to death in his heart.

And was Cao Xing not hating this guy to death as well!

He had finally managed to beat the black snake down to a low-health state, only for this group of Hunters to ambush him halfway and steal his kill.

Since that's the case, then nobody gets it!

Meanwhile, violent tremors came from outside the tribe.

Cao Xing faintly heard a few exclamations.

A moment later, the commotion outside subsided.

Everyone saw a large number of Hunters emerging from that gap.

There were over a hundred of them, one after another.

Among them were two black-robed priests!

Cao Xing exclaimed immediately, "Good grief, how many people did the Church of Light bring in this time?"

"This is almost enough to match a squadron."

"Sarah, come here quickly!"

Cao Xing didn't want Sarah to be surrounded and attacked by so many people.

"Assam, Muxue, let's run!"

After speaking, Cao Xing cast an ice wall on the spot, and they abandoned the enemies in front of them and ran toward the back of the battlefield.

After the group of Hunters entered, they quickly arrived at the side of the white-robed priest.

One of the black-robed priests said dejectedly, "High Priest, we have failed!"

"That black snake's berserk state was too terrifying. We dragged it out for a long time, but we didn't see you come out."

"So we couldn't stop it!"

Hearing this, the anger on the High Priest grew even more intense.

"Damn it, it's all because of this brat!"

"Since the operation has failed, then let's kill this group of people first! Then we will go into the forest to pursue this black snake!"

Hearing the order, the hundred-plus Hunters on the field looked toward Braum and the others who were fighting in the distance.

Fierce glares appeared in their eyes!

Then, over a hundred figures rushed toward Cao Xing and his group.

At this moment, everyone felt a wave of pressure.

At this moment, the High Priest looked at Cao Xing, who had run to the back of the team.

He said angrily, "Brat! Do you know fear now?"

"Don't think that just by hiding in the back, you can be safe and sound."

"I will make you heretics pay a heavy price!"

"And when I catch you, I will let you know what it means to wish you were dead!"

Upon hearing this, the solemnity on Cao Xing's face vanished, and he suddenly laughed.

"You old guy, you really think you've got me, don't you?"

"You just wait!"

"Isn't it just about having more people?"

After speaking, Cao Xing directly took out a book emitting a blue undead light from his backpack.

This was the [Book of the Dead of Ascalon].

He originally didn't want to use one of his chances on this white-robed High Priest!

But now the opponent had too many people, and this old guy's attack power was too high; one slip-up could lead to casualties.

So Cao Xing decided to summon the undead directly and wipe out all these heretics!

As he turned the first page of the book.

Everyone felt a strong force of blue undead energy surge from Cao Xing's body.

This undead energy caused his hair to start flying wildly!

Then, Cao Xing turned the pages of the book while chanting an incantation.

"Rise! Rise! Warriors of Ascalon!"

"Spears thrust forward, shields block with force!"

"Raise your swords and fight! Stain the earth with blood!"

Rustle, rustle…

The Book of the Dead in Cao Xing's hand was flipping pages frantically.

The entire Wild Boar tribe began to be filled with the aura of the undead as he chanted!

The temperature began to drop sharply, and the surroundings turned into a bleak blue.

The environment, which was already isolated from the world, was instantly covered in frost at this moment!

The white-robed High Priest suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis and said in panic, "What are you doing?"

"Forget about those people, hurry and interrupt this Otherworld Lord!"

However, how could Braum and the others let them interrupt Cao Xing's chanting?

They all rushed up and intercepted the hundred-plus Hunters!

The white-robed High Priest's face became increasingly anxious.

He raised his staff and began to rapidly condense the power of light.

But Cao Xing continued to chant unhurriedly.

"Charge immediately! Charge immediately!"

"For the glory of the past, charge forward!"

"Fight until the very moment of the apocalypse!"

At this moment, the incantation was finished.

The entire battlefield suddenly froze for an instant.

The group of Hunters discovered in terror that behind Cao Xing, over a thousand undead figures appeared, floating in mid-air!

They were clad in armor, holding sharp swords and shields! They stood in place, uniform and orderly.

Furthermore, every single undead here gave them a strong sense of threat!

Duke Baradin, wearing heavy armor and holding a sharp sword, stood at the very front of the formation.

He looked at the situation ahead and noticed the Hunters and the white-robed priest behind.

Duke Baradin looked at Cao Xing and chuckled, "Lord Cao Xing, it seems you have encountered trouble."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Yes, Duke Baradin."

"This bunch of crazy cultists seems to be carrying out some kind of evil plan, but I accidentally stumbled upon it."

"So they are furious and want to use their numbers to surround and kill me!"

"Now, bring down judgment upon these crazy cultists!"

The summon from the Book of the Dead only lasts 60 seconds.

So Cao Xing had no time to reminisce with the Duke.

Duke Baradin chuckled again after hearing this.

"As you wish, Lord Cao Xing."

Then, he drew the longsword from his waist.

"Warriors of Ascalon, charge with me! Kill all enemies!"

As he finished speaking, the other undead emitted cold voices filled with killing intent.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Then, Duke Baradin took the lead and charged out.

Rumble!

It was like thousands of horses and soldiers galloping!

The blue undead army rushed over like a tsunami, with speed that was hard to imagine.

Seeing this scene, a look of terror appeared in the High Priest's eyes.

He shouted, "Run! Run quickly!"

He knew how terrifying this group of undead was!

Among them, he even saw a few beings not inferior to himself!

Especially that undead wearing heavy armor and holding a sharp sword; it gave him a deadly sense of crisis!

Hearing the High Priest's voice, the group of crazy Hunters directly abandoned the battle in front of them and began to sprint toward the gap at the back!

However, how could their speed compare to the undead army of Ascalon?

The spectral blades slashed through silently.

When the first Hunter was submerged.

Hundreds of damage numbers instantly appeared above his head.

[ – 2754 ] [ – 2273 ] [ – 3321 ] [ – 3251 ] [ – 2315 ] [ – 2523 ] [ – 6321 ] …

That Hunter was slashed until not even his bones remained; it was as if he had evaporated on the spot!

The next moment, more and more Hunters were submerged by the undead army of Ascalon in a short period of time.

Rumble!

Every Hunter who was submerged would instantly have hundreds of damage numbers appear above their head!

"Ah!! What kind of monsters are these!"

"Save me! Priest!"

"God of Light above! Please save us!"

Screams were endless.

However, their cries for help were quickly drowned out.

Even those elite-level Hunter assassins and the boss-level black-robed priests.

After being submerged by the undead army, they couldn't struggle for more than a few seconds before being killed on the spot!

Fifteen seconds, it was truly just fifteen seconds.

It wiped out this hundred-man Tier 4 Hunter squadron directly.

Even their corpses disappeared entirely.

A dazzling array of items appeared on the ground.

Those were the large amount of souls, Hearts of Strength, and various equipment that dropped after this group of Hunters died…

"Hiss!!"

At this moment, everyone on the field gasped.

Too fierce! It was truly too fierce!

What does it mean to be invincible, what does it mean to be unstoppable!

This is the power of the undead army!

On the field, only the last Hunter white-robed priest remained.

As a Tier 4 boss-level entity, he could barely resist for a bit.

However, it was just resisting for a bit.

His various spells were nonchalantly broken by Duke Baradin.

At this moment, Cao Xing finally understood how terrifying Duke Baradin was!

He was at least a Tier 4 boss-level existence or higher!

The white-robed High Priest kept screaming.

"Ah! You damned undead!"

"The God of Light will punish you!"

"You guys, just wait!"

"The new Seed of Light has already appeared. It won't be long before we welcome the new Son of the God of Light!"

"At that time, you heretics will all be sanctioned!!"

The voice stopped abruptly.

This white-robed priest was killed on the spot.

From launching the charge to the end of the battle, the whole process only took twenty seconds.

Cao Xing sighed once again; this group of undead was truly too fierce!

Using them to deal with this Tier 4 boss was even a bit of an overkill!

This was a terrifying power capable of turning the tide of a large-scale war!

Meanwhile, Duke Baradin, who had finished the battle, had returned to Cao Xing's side.

"Lord Cao Xing, mission accomplished."
