in the edge

Chapter 521: Millions of Corpses
Du Chengfeng, dragging a big knife, slowly walked into the imperial city.

Before, Coyote had shown him the appearance of this imperial city, so he was quite familiar with the structure of the city - in fact, it didn't matter if he was not familiar with it, after all, apart from some differences in details, there was not much difference between the Dajing Imperial City and the Jiankang capital of the Southern Chen Dynasty.

"It seems that although the times have changed, there hasn't been much progress in terms of building technology... That's true, after all, the power system has not changed."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but scratch his head.

The power system has not changed much, which means that the way of fighting or even war has not changed much. The way of fighting and war has not changed, which means that many other technical aspects will not undergo much change either.

Just like the imperial city of Dajing, Du Chengfeng could see at a glance that the towering city walls could only defend against an army composed of ordinary people. In other words, the Dajing of that year was actually similar to the previous Dachen. Both were still in a state of suppressing the emergence of evil masters and using a large number of ordinary people as the source of soldiers.

This is indeed beneficial. At least it can maintain the basic stability of the imperial territory. As for the disadvantages...

These things are meaningless to true masters.

"You're counting on these things to deal with me?"

Looking at the armored cavalrymen galloping down from the distant streets, Du Chengfeng was directly amused.

Even if it is only used to deal with ordinary masters of evil spirits, it is really too ridiculous to rely on such a small formation - indeed, for ordinary people, these armored cavalry are already fierce enough, and even have enough force to decide the outcome of the war, but this is only for ordinary people.

A master with such strength is equivalent to an army alone.

"laugh--"

Du Chengfeng raised the big knife in his hand.

It wasn't even a proper chop, just a casual swing of the hand, and the armored cavalrymen whose hooves were thundering just now fell down like wheat in the autumn harvest. Not only these armored cavalrymen, but even the skeletal horses they rode were cut in half by a clear thin line, and then scattered all over the ground.

Swinging the sword twice with one move was a little trick that Du Chengfeng played out when he was in a leisurely mood.

"Is that all?"

Seeing more armored cavalry rushing towards him, and even a large number of heavy infantry beginning to move towards him, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but shook his head.

Of course, it's not just that. His opponent is not so stupid as to be that stupid.

It was impossible to defeat him with these things alone, he knew it, and his opponents naturally knew it too - but his opponents did it anyway, and even continued to do so.

"In other words... evil spirit?"

Feeling the murderous intent surging in his heart, Du Chengfeng narrowed his eyes.

Although the armored cavalry he killed also looked like a skeleton, it still brought him some evil spirit - although this evil spirit was barely detectable, and if he didn't experience it carefully, he might not even be able to notice the increase of this evil spirit.

However, if we allow this evil energy to accumulate...

"So you used this method."

When he saw the armored cavalrymen he had killed struggling to get up again, Du Chengfeng nodded slightly.

Use a large number of skeleton soldiers to fill him with evil spirit, and finally let him go crazy because of the murderous intent in his mind... He said that how could ordinary soldiers touch him, and now this arrangement looks like a trap.

“But isn’t the number a little too small?”

Flames burned on the big knife in Du Chengfeng's hand.

It was obvious that the knife in his hand had the same idea as him.

They wanted to see whether the number of these skeleton soldiers was greater or they killed more.

The armored soldiers rushed forward, holding their spears tightly, and lined up in neat rows, pressing all the way towards Du Chengfeng - but this formation was meaningless to the masters, or rather, this neat formation made it easier for the masters to swing their swords and reap the rewards.

So, after several rows of suicide squads were cut off by the thin line of fire, the scene quickly turned into a melee.

The corpse soldiers rushed forward frantically, with only that one enemy in their eyes. These corpse soldiers were so brave that they had piled up into a small hill in just a blink of an eye - but as the sword light burst out from the hill, they immediately turned into fragments all over the ground.

And Du Chengfeng, who was surrounded, had an increasingly murderous look on his face.

That solemn expression and that terrifying face were just like the terrifying evil spirit in myths and legends.

"Kill him! Kill this evil ghost!"

The skeleton soldiers roared and rushed forward again. They knew no fear or fatigue, and even regarded death itself as nothing.

At this moment, their corpse faces that were flickering with ghostly lights suddenly turned into uniform wolf heads.

But this did not affect Du Chengfeng's speed of swinging the knife at all, he still killed without stopping.

"it's time."

A low voice was heard in the palace in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, a black horse stepped onto the battlefield.

That warhorse was so ferocious that its body size alone was more than two times larger than the other warhorses. Its overly tall and strong body stood out like a crane among chickens, and just one of its legs was taller than that of an ordinary person - but on top of this monster-like warhorse, there was an even more muscular rider sitting on it.

The face of the cavalry general in helmet and armor could not be seen clearly, only the pair of eyes that shone through the armor showed a ferocious light like a wolf.

Even though there were thousands of corpses between them, Du Chengfeng and the armored cavalry general's eyes met.

They raised their weapons at each other.

"die!"

The swords and spears collided with each other, and the tremendous force even tore the ground apart. The surrounding pavilions and towers could no longer withstand such heavy pressure and collapsed one after another - as for the skeleton soldiers, they had already been crushed into powder and blown all over the ground.

This level of battle has long been out of the ordinary. If you don't have equal combat power, even just looking at it would be seeking death.

"But it's not enough."

Du Chengfeng raised his head and looked at the cavalry general who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"who are you?"

"..."

The cavalry general did not say a word, but silently smashed down the spear in his hand.

This is obviously not how to use a gun. The most common use of a spear should be to twist it in a spiral and stab out like a dragon. However, this violent chopping and smashing method is more like the bite of a ferocious beast.

This was a fatal blow that was sure to kill, a tactic that left no room for retreat. It was like a greedy wolf with its mouth wide open.

"Yes! This is it! This is what I want to see!"

In the distant palace, that deep voice clapped its hands and laughed.

"Let me see your abilities, let me see your strength... Let me see which of you two can kill whom!"

As the voice sounded, a fierce light flashed in the eyes of the armored cavalry general in the distance.

The spear, filled with brutality and ferocity, smashed down again and again, each time with the determination to kill. On Du Chengfeng's side, the murderous aura had been aroused, and his sword-swinging movements became more and more fierce and vicious - the battle had reached this point and it was impossible to stop, even though they had recognized each other's identities.

“It’s you…”

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh.

Obviously, the opponent hiding in the dark came up with a good trick, or rather, the trap has only really worked now - this is not an independent trap, but a double trap. One side trapped him who took the initiative to walk into the imperial city, and the other side trapped the coyote who was originally the target.

The posture of the armored cavalry general was obviously deliberately provoked by the opponent hiding in the dark, in order to prevent them from recognizing each other at the first time.

And now, even if they confirmed each other's identities through fighting, it was too late.

The fight reached this intensity, and none of them could stop.

Their hands cannot stop, their weapons cannot stop, and the evil spirit and murderous intent they carry make it impossible for them to stop - after all, none of them wants to die, they all want to live, but now this battle has become a dead end, and if they want to survive, they can only kill the opponent in front of them.

The fighting spirit accumulated from the killing, the countless evil spirits, the endless anger that wanted to return the attacks double.

The firmness accumulated from the will to survive, the resolute will not to die, the determination to survive even if it means killing everything in sight, and the absolute greed.

Add to that the persistence and enthusiasm for fighting catalyzed by the first two, and the desire to continue to become stronger no matter what, and complete obsession.

In the huge imperial city, the three turbid powers in Du Chengfeng and Tan Lang have all been detonated!
"kill!!!"

The armored cavalry general dropped his spear, and the body riding on his horse looked like a sky-high demon god from the ancient times!
"die!"

The big knife in Du Chengfeng's hand was also raised up, and the broken flesh and blood all over his body hung on his silver-white body, making him look like a hellish devil walking out of the underworld!
But at this moment, the big knife in Du Chengfeng's hand deviated half an inch.

"clang--"

The spear hit Du Chengfeng's shoulder, causing him to stagger on the spot.

A deep dent was also left on his shoulder.

You know, even the sharp claws and fangs that the monsters rely on for survival can only leave marks on his body, but the impact of the iron spear directly tore a huge wound on his shoulder - the fact that such a result could be achieved on this body made of steel and iron is enough to show how fierce this spear is. If it were an ordinary master, he would probably be cut in half on the spot by this spear.

But Du Chengfeng still managed to stand up.

Not only did he stand up, this time he didn't even raise the sword in his hand.

Facing the defenseless Du Chengfeng, the iron spear hit him again.

Once, twice, three times, five times... The iron spear smashed into Du Chengfeng's body like a rainstorm, and in just a moment, Du Chengfeng's body was covered with wounds.

But Du Chengfeng still had no intention of defending.

It was true that the sword in his hand was raised, but it was not aimed at the cavalry general who beat him, but at the huge number of skeleton soldiers.

"What are you doing?"

In the palace in the distance, the low voice was a little doubtful.

The situation was fine just now. The two strong men whose three turbid powers had been detonated lost their minds and began to fight each other to the death. This was indeed a normal situation and was also the expected performance of this trap.

But now the Iron Man's behavior was really too abnormal. On one hand, he was being beaten as if he was begging for death, and on the other hand, he was still accumulating evil spirits by killing skeleton soldiers... What was he doing? His brain was so overwhelmed by the evil spirit that he couldn't even see where his opponent was?
This is simply...

"clang--"

Another bullet hit Du Chengfeng on the head, making him dizzy.

Although his brain was in chaos due to the bullet, Du Chengfeng's consciousness was extremely clear at this moment - or in other words, he knew what he was doing from the beginning.

Du Chengfeng once wondered why he chose to become this body made of steel and iron. Although this could indeed be said to be an impromptu decision made in Sanshan Town, after meeting the coyote, he realized that there must be a deeper reason behind it.

Just like the coyote believes in the law of the jungle, so it shows itself as a wild wolf all day long, he must have something he insists on, so he subconsciously chose to become like this.

In the past, Du Chengfeng once thought that it was because he lacked a sense of security and was always worried about dying, so he chose this body made of steel. After all, the hard steel could almost allow him to ignore any sneak attacks from the dark, and it was enough for him to rest assured.

But now it seems...

“Perhaps what I really value is the bearing capacity of steel.”

At this moment, Du Chengfeng understood something.

Bear pressure, bear torque, bear strength, and even bear evil spirits - only if he can bear the strength itself, he is qualified to use the strength, and only if he bears all the negative effects brought by the strength, he can unleash the ultimate violence.

Just like, now.

"Thanks to your skeleton soldiers."

As he said this, Du Chengfeng raised his sword.

"This is the evil spirit of a million people, plus all the power of that wolf... I can bear these things."

The armored cavalryman behind him was still smashing and destroying things at all costs, but Du Chengfeng had turned a deaf ear to them.

It was simply because the force he was carrying at the moment was far heavier than the force on the spear.

"I took on the evil spirit of millions of people."

"Can you carry it?"

boom--

As the sword was swung, the huge imperial city instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.
