al flame armor was still very strong. After the air and land battle was over, there was only 70% of the blood left.As expected of a high-ranking leader, he is a formidable opponent.The airship retriev...A crimson portal appeared, Lu Kong took a deep breath and stepped into it.

A flash of light, and Lu Kong appeared on an ancient city wall.

There were sounds of commotion coming from around.

"Warriors, prepare for the final stand! Magi, ensure your magical crystals are fully replenished! Archers, stretch those fingers – this might be your last shot!"

He turned his head and saw a tall man with dark red skin and black lines around his eyes speaking.

This man wore a splendid crimson battle armor, bearing a sword and shield. He seemed to have some standing.

But at a distance, beneath the city walls, were some soldiers.

These soldiers numbered in the hundreds of thousands, at least over a hundred thousand.

Upon seeing these people, Lu Kong was slightly taken aback.

This familiar appearance...Lu Kong had seen it before.

When he was trying to advance further, he also attempted Holy Spirit-level advancement missions.

The race I encountered then, it seems, was also this race.

Seems to be called Clark human

Another phantom from humanity's past, Clark

The last advanced mission was to ask him to help deal with the Spirit Blade Demon invasion. Unfortunately, he failed.

I didn't expect to run into you here again, by such a coincidence.

Lu Kuang's gaze swept across the surroundings, discovering that this city was not as large as the last one.

Even the city walls are not that high.

It shouldn't be An Neng City from last time.

Lu Kong cast a probing spell on General Clark.

General Larue's Phantom of Old (Low-Tier Emperor)

Level: 19

Life:

Attack:

Introduction: Clark was one of the greatest generals in human history. Born during the age of demonic invasions, he devoted his life to defending humanity against the blade demons until his death without regret.

Indeed, it is merely a phantom of the past...

He looked at the Larry General before him, who seemed so real, and felt a lot of emotion.

Judging from this, this general must have fought until the very last moment for his own race.

For such a hero, Lu Kong felt a surge of respect in his heart.

Just as Lu Kong's mind was racing with thoughts, General Larry turned to face him and said, "Outsider, the spatial rift is widening. According to reports from the front lines, this invasion includes at least six Saint Spirit-level demons. We have lost contact with the front line, and it is likely they have fallen. You are not a Clarkian, and no one expects you to stay and fight for us. You can still leave in time."

Lu Kong came to his senses and smiled at General Larry: "General, although I am not a Clarkian, fighting demons has nothing to do with race. I'm willing to stay and fight alongside you."

General Larry looked at Lu Kong with a newfound respect in his eyes.

Several lieutenants beside him also turned their heads to look at Lu Kong.

Then, General Larry performed a peculiar military salute to Landy, his expression grave. "On behalf of the Clarkians, I thank you for your aid. Outsider, if this truly is our last battle, it is an honor to stand beside such a hero as you!"

Lu Kong's heart suddenly felt heavy, but he smiled and said, "Don't worry, this won't be the last battle."

Last time, I failed.

This time, I'm sure I can succeed!

Even if this is just a phantom of the past.

At the very least, let these phantoms have the ending they desire.

As soon as Lu Kong's voice fell, the system finally gave a prompt.

"Ding! The Blade Demon Grand Army has passed through a spatial rift and arrived at the border of Clark Prime. Ared Fortress is one of the main frontline defenses, and it will be a primary target for the invading army. Please join General Larry in defending against the Blade Demon Grand Army's invasion!"

Li Kong raised an eyebrow. The system had indeed given a hint.

From what General Larry said before, and now the system prompt, Lu Kong also understands the situation.

This place is probably the frontline stronghold where the Blade Demon and Clark's human forces battle.

Going further, it should be the area of space rift, right

Now, a large army of Bladefang Demons surges out from the spatial rift. This place is definitely going to face a great battle.

Lu Kong thought of what General Larry had said before, and his expression became slightly somber.

There are at least six demons of the Holy Spirit level....

Shouldn't everyone be coming here

If he really came, he would be speechless.

Damn it, a level-up mission, facing six Holy Spirits, who can handle that

While Lu Kong was lost in thought, General Larry had already ordered his lieutenants to begin setting up defenses with their respective regiments.

Whether general or soldier, they acted swiftly, clearly elites.

Soon, a thick wave of demonic energy suddenly emanated from afar.

The sky had darkened, and black fog rolled in like a tide, creeping towards the fortress of Aerith.

General Ri'la, standing on the city wall, suddenly grew serious.

He slowly exhaled a mouthful of air, drew out his sword and shield, and said, "Here I come."

In a short while, a dense army of black figures rapidly approached from the distant wilderness.

That was a group of demons.

These demons are over two meters tall with slender bodies. Their joints have menacing bone spurs, and their arms are equipped with jet-black blades.

It is the Demon Blade!

Like pitch-black sewage, it devours every passing area.

General Reila shimmered with golden light, the radiance piercing the gloom of the overcast sky.

He roared, "Prepare for battle!"

A large number of Clark soldiers began to form ranks and prepare for battle.

Lu Kong didn't pay attention to these ordinary blade demons. He focused his gaze on a familiar figure in the distance.

That was a blade demon clad in jet-black armor, wielding a blood-red blade.

Phantom of the Bloodred Blade (Intermediate Spirit)

Level: 18

Life:

Attack:

Introduction: Bloodfang is the executioner and vanguard general of the Blade Demon clan. His blade has turned blood red after absorbing too much blood from living beings.

Crimson Blade!

This is exactly the target of the last Land and Air Advanced Mission.

At that time, Lu Kong's only template was ordinary, so when he entered the advanced task, the Blood Blade he encountered was only level 1!

Even with a level 1 Blood Blade, Lu Kong was still instantly killed.

Now, Lu Kong's template is already a king, he entered the advanced task at level 20, and the blood-red blade he encountered had become level 18.

And the Blood Blade's attributes at level 18, made both Lu Kong feel ridiculously strong.

Over three hundred and seventy million units of blood!

Plus over 70,000 attacks!

This attribute, compared to the previous 20th-level Low Grade Emperor Roger, is simply heaven and earth apart!

This isn't even counting the template bonus, not counting the Holy Spirit's skill bonus!

One can only imagine just how terrifying the power of this blood-colored blade truly is.

Even Lu Kong, who was usually carefree, wore a serious expression.

Not only in the air and on land, but General Reila on the border also discovered the bloody blade among the ranks of the army at the first moment.

Those blood-red blades were truly eye-catching!

Seeing the blood-red blade, General Rila's expression instantly turned ugly.

His voice was raspy and filled with despair, he murmured, "I never expected it to be him! The blade demon's executioner, he chose this direction..."

A touch of bitterness appeared on his face: "Even he has come...Arred Keep is likely lost."

He turned his head to look at Lu Kong, and said with a wry smile: "Come on, outsider. While the demon army hasn't arrived, while that executioner hasn't arrived, leave this place and go to the imperial capital. Perhaps, you might be able to survive."

His facial expressions remained calm despite the turmoil.

He smiled and said, "General Rila, I'll take that Bloodblade. Can you hold off the army of Blade Demons"

General Lyra: “”

His expression was momentarily dazed, as if he hadn't grasped the meaning of what Lu Kong had said.that Lin Yingying had actually gone to Dazhucheng.Noticing the movement in the air and on land, Xia Yan said with some confusion: "What's going on"Lin Yingying made it to Dawu City.
