Immortal in The Apocalypse

Hearing what Zhu Lin said, the Ghost King sneered, grabbed her sword that penetrated his soul core, gritted his teeth and said, "True God Zhu Lin, don’t be happy too early. Who will win and who will lose has not yet been decided."

As soon as he said this, he looked up at the sky. Seeing this, Zhu Lin’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly looked up and saw that the nine stars were already perfectly aligned. She calculated the time and said, "There is still time. How could it be possible–"

Before she finished speaking, the Ghost King forcibly pulled out her sword from his lower Dantian and said with a smile, "True God Zhu Lin, you lose."

After saying this, the Ghost King spread his hands and sucked the devil energy from Chen Jianhong, Shu Ling, and other high-ranked zombies that Xiu Wu and the others had not yet evacuated.

"Argh!!"

Because the large amount of devil energy poured into his body clashed with his Yin energy, the Ghost King felt extremely painful all over his body. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain of tearing his soul. Seeing that he was about to activate the ancient killing formation by sacrificing his own soul core, Zhu Lin rushed over with murderous intent.

Clang!

Before her sword even touched the Ghost King’s body, it collided with some invisible barrier. Seeing her being pushed away by the invisible barrier, the Ghost King laughed and grimaced at the same time. If he had real body and blood, his body would be covered in blood at this moment.

"Ha ha ha! True God Zhu Lin, you can’t stop me!" The Ghost King said while looking at the nine stars as their light became brighter and brighter every second.

After hearing this, Zhu Lin looked at the formation carved on the stargazing platform and saw that there was not much time left before the formation fully activated. She must stop the Ghost King before he activates the ancient killing formation. Otherwise, all living beings, including this world, will perish together with the Ghost King.

Just when she was thinking about what to do, Xiu Wu appeared behind the Ghost King. The Ghost King was surprised to find that someone could bypass the barrier and asked, "Who are you?! How did you bypass the barrier created by devil energy?!"

Xiu Wu ignored his question and placed his palm on the Ghost King’s lower back where his soul core was located. The moment his hand touched the Ghost King’s body, the devil energy that had accumulated in the Ghost King’s body was sucked into Xiu Wu’s lower Dantian at extremely fast speed.

Realizing what he was going to do, Zhu Lin shouted anxiously: "Xiu Wu, stop! Your body can’t hold so much devil energy at once! You will die!"

Xiu Wu looked at his girlfriend and found that her eyes were red because of her anxiety. He smiled softly and said, "Lin’er, once the ancient killing formation is activated, there is no way to stop it. You should know this better than me."

Recalling the scene of sacrificing herself and enduring the power of the ancient killing formation in her previous life, Zhu Lin shook her head, looked at his pale face, and said with tears in her eyes: "No! There must be other ways. I won’t let you die! You are not allowed to die!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Lin stabbed her sword on the ground. Unfortunately, the nine stars have aligned perfectly and the ancient killing formation has already begun to lit up. No matter how many times she tried to destroy the formation carved on the ground, she would be knocked away by the collision of divine energy and devil energy.

"Cough!"

When she fell heavily to the ground and coughed out a mouthful of blood, Xiu Wu felt his heart was stabbed by a sword as he shouted in distress: "Lin’er, stop!"

Just when Zhu Lin stood up from the ground with her sword as support, the Ghost King’s soul core shattered. He let out a shrill scream as his soul disappeared into nothingness. Without the Ghost King as a medium, Xiu Wu had no choice but to absorb the devil energy directly into his Dantian.

He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, then looked at Tan Wei and said, "Xiao Wei, take Lin’er and get out of here!"

Tan Wei shook his head and said, "No! We must leave together! We promised Lao Yang to go home together!"

Xiu Wu coughed up a mouthful of blood and said, "Hurry up!"

Looking at his childhood friend enveloped in a black aura, Tan Wei gritted his teeth and ran towards Zhu Lin. Before he could touch her, Zhu Lin activated the Thousand Moon Steps technique and disappeared without a trace.

Tan Wei was startled and called her anxiously: "Xiao Lin?!"

While Tan Wei was still searching for her, Zhu Lin appeared in front of Xiu Wu. She reached out to touch Xiu Wu, but when she came into contact with the black aura, the violent devil energy tore her body apart.

She endured the pain as her blood dyed her dress red, gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand to him. Seeing her bloody appearance, Xiu Wu felt that his heart was so painful as it had been cut by countless swords.

He looked into her eyes and said with a hint of pleading in his voice: "Lin’er, please go. Leave me. You promise me this. I beg you... leave now!"

Hearing what he said, Zhu Lin paused for a second and said, "Even if I break my promise and be killed by Heavenly Dao, I will not leave you."

When the ancient killing formation lit up brightly, Xiu Wu was so anxious that his eyes turned red. At this moment, the sound of dragon roars came from behind the clouds. Flying among the clouds, a huge black dragon flew toward them at extremely fast speeds.

"Roar!"
