I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 319: Chapter 218: Where Did the Fallen Knight Go?

The four divided battlefields simultaneously erupted into fierce battles.

However, after a brief and brilliant outbreak, three of them, except for Han Zhan, fell into a bitter struggle again.

”Your comrades are about to fall.”

The Xuanyuan Sword resisted the descending claws from above, the immense strength pressing hard against the blade.

This Tier Seven Exotic Beast, the Black Ape, is immensely powerful. Even with the Five Urgent fully activated, Han Zhan was still at a disadvantage in terms of sheer power.

The voice of the Dream Demon echoed from the mouth of the Black Ape.

Around them, six Tier Seven Exotic Beasts had already fallen one after another.

”You talk too much nonsense.”

Han Zhan, while engaged with the Alien Race, was also constantly observing the situations on the surrounding battlefields.

He saw the sudden eruption of the Fallen Knight, the endless corrupting darkness swallowing Zhan Ning, Yu Lian, and Chen Zui.

He saw Dong Dachui and the Life and Death Apostle caught in a fierce struggle.

He also saw Elder Bing unleashing his powerful reserves, summoning the shadows of the past with all his might, clearing the entire sky.

I spared no effort, killing with my full strength, all to quickly resolve the threat on the Alien Race battlefield and provide support in other directions.

Now, the Dream Demon can only control this last Alien here.

Everyone, hold on!

A trace of ferocity flashed in Han Zhan’s eyes as the surging power erupted from within him.

The Xuanyuan Sword in his hand slowly lifted under the giant claw.

The Black Ape’s eyes showed an incredible expression, watching as its proud power was suppressed and the situation reversed in front of this insignificant human!

At this moment, due to the turbulent spiritual power, Han Zhan’s eyes had completely turned into a golden color, with golden streams of light spilling from the corners, shattered by the thunder and lightning.

In the surging golden spiritual power, he opened his mouth and roared.

”Star Slash!”

It’s a sword skill long unused: Star Slash.

Han Zhan’s swordsmanship now far surpassed what it had been in Titan City, and the power of Star Slash was even more terrifying.

Violent spiritual power, accompanied by sword qi, was compressed to an extreme and then exploded in an instant, obliterating.

The Black Ape’s densely hairy arms were crossed before its chest.

It intended to rely on its powerful beast defense to withstand this strike.

But the next second, a straight golden beam pierced through unhindered, after penetrating the Black Ape, it rushed into the sky behind it.

The clouds in the sky were pierced through by the relentless sword qi, as if a hole had been punched open.

Below, at the Black Ape’s arms, there was a fist-sized gap, with the same kind of gap appearing at its chest.

It was lifeless, dead beyond any doubt.

The fall of the Black Ape meant that all Tier Seven Alien Races attacking Buried Sword City were dead.

The remaining aliens, even less capable of blocking Han Zhan’s cleansing onslaught.

Alien battlefield, secured!

...

Zhan Ning, Yu Lian, and Chen Zui only heard the Fallen Knight’s voice echo ”Fallen”.

Immediately after, they were swallowed by endless pitch-black darkness.

In the darkness, they could see nothing, hear nothing, and sense nothing.

This feeling of being abandoned by the entire world was gnawing away at their hearts bit by bit.

Just then, in the pitch-black darkness where you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, a small light suddenly shone.

It was Chen Zui.

His whole body was emitting a faint glow, the light seeming to emanate from within, making his skin transparent and translucent.

Beside him, two Punishment Knights were rolling their eyes, looking quite dumbfounded.

This abnormal state, upon seeing the glowing Chen Zui, prompted Zhan Ning and Yu Lian to subconsciously wipe their drool and regain clarity.

”Phew, that was close, almost died!”

”Is this the notorious Fallen Aura? You don’t even have time to react before being engulfed by darkness.”

”But on another note, dude, are you cosplaying some weird creature? Why is your whole body glowing? It’s kind of scary!”

Having recovered, Zhan Ning reverted to his chatterbox mode.

”It’s the Fluorescent Wine I drank earlier.” Chen Zui replied simply, seeing them sober up.

Never underestimate a Brewer.

Because you never know what kind of drink he’s selling from his jug.

While talking, Chen Zui tossed a jug each to Zhan Ning and Yu Lian, and after drinking, soon two more ”Glowing Mushrooms” appeared.

”Have we been banished into corrupting darkness?”

Chen Zui was not knowledgeable about the methods of Fallen Knights but was deeply shocked.

”Where there’s light, there’s darkness; where there’s day, there’s night. The fall of the Fallen Knight didn’t exile us elsewhere; he simply triggered the dark side of this region.”

Now the three were like grasshoppers on the same string.

Yu Lian had nothing more to hide about the Fallen Knight’s methods.

Triggering the dark side of this area allowed all things to be engulfed in an instant, with not even a chance to react.

”Beware of things in the darkness.”

Just as Yu Lian finished advising, a withered ghost claw emerged from the darkness surrounding the three ”Glowing Mushrooms,” reaching out toward them.

Zhan Ning was the first to react.

He muttered incantations, and a new aura appeared at his feet.

Just when he thought he could block the ghost claw like he had blocked Chen Zui’s fist, something unexpected happened.

As the ghost claw touched the auras before Zhan Ning, all the auras turned completely dark in a breath, as if stained by black ink!

The Knight’s Aura from the Knight’s Code was assimilated by the corrupt dark aura!

Seeing this scene, Zhan Ning’s eyes widened, even forgetting to dodge.

Luckily, Chen Zui, who had been watching all along, reacted. He grabbed Zhan Ning’s shoulder, pulling both backward.

At the same time, the buff effect from the Fluorescent Wine Chen Zui drank was still active. He punched the ghost claw reaching for him.

With the clash of fist and claw, the ghost claw shattered and vanished, and Chen Zui took a step back as well.

He glanced down at his fist, already stained with a faint layer of black.

Frightened, he hastily pulled out another jug of wine, drinking it up in one go, barely stopping the spread of dark energy.

”The Fallen Aura of the Fallen Knight can neutralize the Knight’s Code Aura, assimilating them into a Fallen Aura!”

Only then did Zhan Ning and Yu Lian exchange glances, seeing the horror in each other’s eyes.

They seemed to finally understand the real reason Han Zhan warned them to be wary of the Fallen Knight in his note!

”Your Knight’s Aura is completely ineffective against the corrupting darkness; right now, you’re lesser than ordinary people.”

Initially expecting that with two Tier Seven Punishment Knights, plus himself as another Tier Seven, three Tier Sevens against one Tier Eight would at least delay him for a while longer.

Who would have thought it would end up being just him with two burdens?

Suddenly, Chen Zui, Zhan Ning, and Yu Lian simultaneously sensed something and all lowered their heads abruptly,

Below them, the endless darkness began to recede.

They looked bewilderedly at the retreating darkness in the distance, a question arising in each of their minds.

Where did the Fallen Knight go?
