Chapter 197: Above Sage-Stage! Chaos!
Chapter 197: Above Sage-Stage! Chaos!
After more than ten seconds of silence, everyone recovered from their horror, and there was an uproar in the psychological network!
Even the Sage-stage Lanzhi Sage had fallen to the side of the evil beings! Was there really no hope?
How should they choose?
Many people’s faces were in a trance and full of sluggishness.
Suddenly, a sonorous voice sounded. “I, Regus—even if I shed the last drop of blood and all of my bones are shattered—I will also never succumb to the evil beings who trampled on the homes of our people!”
Regus—the general of the city guards—looked at the aberrated Lanzhi Sage coldly, his face full of disgust.
As soon as these words came out, the other guards also responded and agreed with him. “Yes, even if we die, we won’t side with those evil beings!”
“Our race will never become slaves!”
“I would rather die standing than side with the evil beings!”
“The evil demons killed my relatives, friends, and compatriots. Such a blood feud can only end with a battle to the death!”
“Fight to the death!”
...
The words ‘fighting to the death’ sounded, and the city guards’ eyes were full of turbulent fighting spirit and deep-seated hatred. The auras emitting from them were vast and majestic!
“Ridiculous!” An ear-piercing voice sounded from the sky.
Lanzhi Sage, who had lost his human form, let out a weird laugh that sounded like an owl’s cry—it was cold and ear-piercing!
He looked at Regus and the other city guards and said coldly, “Don’t forget who asked you guys to leave the defensive spell formation just now. These people aren’t worth sacrificing your lives for! It’s better to follow me, survive, and ensure the continuity of our race!”
Link narrowed his eyes slightly. Hearing this really made his blood boil from anger. It’s no wonder that this traitor stared at me just now; it’s because he planned on stirring up conflicts between the guards and the civilians.
But Link’s previous actions had interrupted the Lanzhi Sage’s plan.
Upon hearing these words, Regus and the other city guards all looked at Link and smiled.
If Link hadn’t stood up for them just now, perhaps many of them might’ve felt disappointed and resentful. As for now, it was unlikely for them to be provoked by just these few words.
“I believe that some people will remember the sacrifices we made, and these sacrifices are definitely worth it! We will fight to our death with no regrets!” Regus’s eyes were extremely firm.
The expressions of all the city guards were also firm-looking. Clenching their weapons tightly, they shouted in a deep voice, “Fight to our death with no regrets!”
These sonorous words oscillated in the psychological network, making everyone’s blood boil and surge.
More and more people were affected by the atmosphere, and both the city guards and civilians expressed that they would never give in to the evil spirits!
The corners of the great sage’s mouth rose slightly, and there was a gratifying smile on his face.
“Let me tell you all how fragile your beliefs are!” Lanzhi Sage roared angrily, and a terrifying pressure and evil aura shrouded toward everyone!
Circles of black light spread like ripples with Lanzhi Sage as the center! The pressure and influence of a Sage weren’t things that could be resisted by ordinary people at all!
This was the suppression from the difference in their lifeforms; those beneath the Sage-stage were all ants to Sages!
Suddenly, everyone’s hearts shrank fiercely as if they had been grasped by a cold hand. It made them feel an indescribable sense of suffocation!
The air seemed to turn into a sticky colloid, instantly becoming heavy as it restricted everyone’s bodies from moving!
Everyone’s complexion changed wildly as they felt the terrifying suppression; it was like the sky was collapsing. Their heartstrings tensed, and their hair stood on end like a wild cat’s fur when its tail was stepped on!
What’s more, some of the people’s bodies couldn’t stop shaking like sifting chaff!
The weirdest thing was that everyone seemed to hear inexplicable whispers in their ears as Lanzhi Sage’s aura spread.
Corruption and blasphemy led the people to madness and depravity!
Under the influence, the guards—who were originally polluted and infected in the first place—couldn’t contain the infection anymore, and they quickly began to aberrate.
Even some civilians who had never been in close contact with the evil beings also showed symptoms of aberration!
Exclamations suddenly came from the crowd.
“Presumptuous!” The great sage snorted coldly. The sound exploded in everyone’s mind like thunder, instantly shaking everyone out of that weird state!
Following that, warm and mighty golden rays of light shook and rippled from the great sage, blocking Lanzhi Sage’s influence on the people.
Without a second word, the great sage waved his staff, and magical attacks swept toward Lanzhi Sage like a storm!
Waves of air blasts exploded in the air, but the great sage’s control of energy was obviously extremely delicate, preventing the air blasts from affecting anyone.
Lanzhi Sage also attacked fiercely; he waved his aberrated arm, bringing out a series of dark light-blades!
The two of them fought one another in the sky, causing loud explosions to sound continuously. As for the high priest, he was smoothing out the energy ripples and shockwaves resulting from their battle.
Otherwise, at such a distance, the people might be killed by these energy waves and shockwaves!
Originally, the great sage was the strongest of all the sages. But after Lanzhi Sage aberrated, his power became much greater than before, and it was difficult for the great sage to defeat him in a short period of time.
Lanzhi Sage sneered and said, “What do you people know? All of you want to fight to the death, but nothing can be changed through your deaths. There are existences above the Sage-stage on the side of the evil beings! You people don’t understand the real horror of the evil beings at all! Great Sage Oliver, you are pushing the entire race to a dead end!”
Link’s eyes narrowed when he heard this. Existences above the Sage-stage—this is probably the reason why Lanzhi Sage was willing to defect to the evil beings’ side.
The great sage ignored Lanzhi Sage and just kept attacking.
The shocking energy waves from the magic attacks’ residue continued to ripple out from their battle.
“Neil!” yelled the great sage in a low voice.
The high priest—who had been by the side—immediately attacked as well.
The two of them had joined forces to fight against Lanzhi Sage.
The original evenly matched situation was broken, and Lanzhi Sage suddenly fell into a disadvantage.
But instead of being panicked, a smirk appeared on his hideous face.
Suddenly, several horrifying auras appeared in the crowd!
The auras were of corruption and blasphemy; they were aberrations like Lanzhi Sage, and their ranks weren’t low. Among them were even three Stage Six Fallen Ones!
Lanzhi Sage had obviously arranged for a group of traitors to infiltrate the crowd, who waited for an opportunity to strike!
Once this group of Fallen Ones appeared, they immediately caused panic among the civilians!
Everyone was shocked; they didn’t expect that the normal people around them would instantly aberrate and attack them!
Ordinary warriors weren’t the opponents of these Fallen Ones at all, and the Fallen Ones even had the means to pollute others.
Many weak-willed civilians had been affected by them.
Regus, as a Stage Six powerhouse of the city guards, immediately flew out and fought with a Stage Six Fallen One.
The elite warriors from the city guards and the great sage’s personal guards also flew out and fought against the other powerhouses amongst the Fallen Ones.
But there was still a Stage Six Fallen One who had no opponent and was rampaging in the crowd.
“Humph! Fools, you people could’ve chosen to follow Lanzhi Sage, but you insist on choosing death!” The Fallen One waved his aberrated palm mercilessly and slapped the guards in front of him flying.
Some people—who were already wavering—couldn’t help but give birth to the idea of surrendering at this moment. They started to express their opinions one after another, defecting to the Fallen Ones’ side!
The situation instantly became chaotic!
Right at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
