Chapter 248 [Extinction Light Punishment]

Time and space fell into an eerie dimness in the true red lightning.

It's not just the corrupted army in front of us.

Even the dust, sand and water droplets froze in an instant, locked in the suddenly appearing thunder field.

The atmosphere seemed to be ignited at this moment, and the corrupt army was instantly shattered by countless blows, dissipating like mist under the scorching sun.

It felt like several hours had passed, but in reality it happened in just a moment.

"Humph, the dead soul under the knife."

Westhead drew back Shadow Life, and the moment the bright red blade spun back into its sheath, the twisted tree spirit standing behind him fell to the ground with a loud bang, its body quickly devoured by the true red embers and turned into ashes.

This tree spirit is the most conspicuous among this wave of corrupted army. Its over fifty-meter-tall body is covered with dark purple and dark green thorny vines, and its arms are even wrapped with a long sword made of amber.

He looked extremely powerful, but unfortunately he became the target of Qinghui Gongliwei and was killed instantly (no mercy).

Westhead had witnessed Evening Prayer using this fighting skill to destroy the Chaos Army countless times. Now he tried to reproduce it, and it was indeed so terrifying.

Of course, it cannot be compared with Vespers, but it is satisfying to have some similarities. Its expressiveness even exceeds that of ordinary legends.

It's just that the side effects are a bit big.

Westhead looked at his arm. Scarlet cracks had appeared on his forearm which was infected by the power of the absolute demon, and he felt a stinging and burning sensation.

The fighting skills developed by Evening Prayer are all double-edged swords that hurt the enemy by a thousand while hurting oneself by eight hundred. Because they are fueled by the souls of hundreds of millions of people, there is no need for any burden in using them.

Although Westhead has the devouring attribute of [Dragon Soul Furnace], the support consumption is quite difficult and cannot be used frequently.

Lord Qinghui adjusted his breathing and slowly turned his head.

Even the trusted warriors who were used to seeing Westhead killing people everywhere could not help but be silent at the power of this sword that could clear the screen.

In the vast area between Westhead and the front-line legions, there was only the white land torn by true red lightning and embers.

"What are you waiting for? Your Majesty has already charged forward, and your subjects are still cowering?!"

Yuerda was the first to react. The white-blond girl raised the radiant sword high and said excitedly:
"Qinghui Legion, move forward!"

The team at the rear began to quickly cross the battlefield and head towards the Corrupted Holy Tree. Behind the [Crown of Fire] were the Qinghui Guards.

The goal of this campaign is clear, which is to destroy the corrupted sacred tree entrenched in the capital of Dongluoye with one punch.

Consumption cannot be stopped, and the party is at a passive disadvantage in terms of both resources and time.

Whether for tactical considerations or promotion needs, achieving success in one battle is the best option.

"Mr. Weiss, are you okay?"

Myvana's voice came from the side. The wolf-eared girl glanced at Westhead's arm and frowned slightly.

"It's okay, just wait for it to heal naturally."

Westhead shook his head and grabbed the scabbard of Shadow Life.

Even if he couldn't use Evening Prayer's fighting skills, Westhead still had too many cards in his hand.

Just then, I shared a full set of [River of Clear Light] from Yuerda. Although I had some complaints about my family's ancestral craftsmanship, thinking it was flashy and impractical, when I thought about it carefully, I seemed to have not used the Clear Light combat skills much.

It just so happens that Qinghui's guards also use the [River of Qinghui]. As Lord Qinghui, it would be unreasonable if he could not set an example.

Led by Westhead, the War Structure and the Qinghui Guards served as the vanguard, tearing through the thorn bushes outside the Dongluoye capital like a sharp knife, and moving straight towards the corrupted sacred tree.

Although the new path had been planned long ago, this was the first time that the Qinghui Guards stepped onto the battlefield in an organized manner. Only the most fanatical and talented warriors were fortunate enough to share the monarch's blood. They were the most loyal elite, and when the monarch charged ahead, the Qinghui Guards naturally did not want to lag behind.

Even if I don't have the ability to protect the king, it would be great to be a cushion for Lord Qinghui.

Westhead and Mivana stayed in the first phase, advancing steadily with the Qinghui Guards. When in the rear, the Qinghui Guild had to consider a lot, but once on the front line, Westhead just had to fight bravely.

The bright light flickered outside the capital of Dongluoye, and the various Qinghui combat skills wiped out all enemies who dared to block along the way.

No matter whether it is the rotten plants and animals, the birds of prey that swoop down from the sky from time to time, or the poisonous creatures that choose their prey in the poisonous swamp, none of them can stop the expansion of the Bright Blade.

With such unstoppable force, they did not stop for a moment. In two days, they broke into the capital of Dongluoye and arrived at the foot of the corrupt giant tree.

"Is it so easy to break through the defense?"

Yuerda led the Qinghui Guards to inspect the corrupt and fallen capital and said in disbelief.

"So the obstacles inside the city are weaker?"

"It's normal. The Corruption Legion didn't have much inventory to begin with, and they were basically deployed on the periphery. After the breakthrough, the speed of the explosion couldn't keep up."

Westhead said calmly, and ordered the Qinghui Guards to remove the scarlet fungus that was parasitic on the ruins.

The Corrupted Holy Tree can indeed rival the strength of the [God of the Turbid World], but most of its strength is reflected in its powerful pollution and development capabilities. As long as it is not completely eradicated, the Corrupted Tree will continue to produce a huge corrupt army.

Its style can only be described in one word.

turtle.

Start with a turtle in the early stage, a turtle in the middle stage, and a turtle in the late stage. Just operate like a turtle and you will be a successful urbanized player.

Therefore, the key to dealing with the corrupted holy tree lies in a quick attack. If a general attack can be launched within a month of the small holy tree's reversal, the threat level will be reduced to a minimum.

However, after breaking through, the defense machine of the Corrupted Holy Tree made people look embarrassed again:

The roots and giant trees, wrapped in countless thick vines, thorns and plant barriers, looked as if they were made of fragile vegetation, but at this moment they stood firm despite countless bombardments and spells.

"This turtle shell is a bit troublesome to smash."

Westhead smacked his lips and said, this is the last protection mechanism of the corrupted holy tree, the ultimate autistic defense that is one of the best in the mortal world.

I don’t know how many people had already stood in front of the corrupt giant tree, but died because of this barrier.

Because as long as the corrupted holy tree exists, the poisonous miasma around it will continue to spread. The Qinghui Guards can still resist it for the time being, but over time, ordinary high-level transcendents will also suffer.

At this moment, Miss Knight volunteered:

"Leave it to me."

"Hmm? You want it?"

Although Westhead was a little confused, he still made way.

Mivana took a step forward, raised the knight's silver sword, and after a few breaths of preparation, smashed it down heavily.

"boom--"

The bright daylight that could temporarily take away one's eyesight dispelled the dim miasma, and the torrent gushing from the tip of the silver sword washed over the roots of the corrupted giant tree.

The magical torrent that was like a light cannon seemed to be a stream of countless gold, real silver and colored gems that were melted and gathered together, emitting extreme heat and power.

The tangled thorns and shrubs that were daunting and the thick oak barriers were washed away by the torrent and softened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"【Extinction Light Punishment】. You actually already know this move."

Westhead was surprised to see this.

The light cannon released by Mivana is exactly the most effective signature combat skill of the Yonglan Knight [Extinction Light Punishment].
