Southern Expanse – Divine Realm Border.
The battlefield was a sea of blood and corpses.
Yang Chen's sword arm trembled as he blocked a Chaos Knight's strike, his handsome face streaked with dirt and blood. Behind him, Hua Wanru coughed violently, her spiritual energy nearly depleted.
"Hold the line!" Yang Chen roared, slicing through three Shadow Demons in one swing.
But the horde kept coming.
Hundreds of Chaos Knights led the charge, their corrupted blades cutting down cultivators like wheat. The Netherworld Army's ghostly soldiers fought desperately, but their formations were crumbling.
"Brother!" Yang Mengli screamed as a Void Creature's claw tore through her shoulder.
Hua Litong barely managed to drag her back, her own robes soaked crimson. "We can't hold much longer!"
Nearby, Ye Xialong's elegant robes were in tatters. The young master of the Ye Clan fought with desperate grace, but his movements were slowing. "Damn it... Where are the reinforcements?"
