This immortal was clearly ordinary, yet he was unusually confident.

"Should we take action? This is somewhat different from the original plan."

A man in black robes shook the gourd in his hand and looked at his companion.

“Yes, the original plan was just to collect living souls from the Azure Moon Army camp, but we didn’t expect so many people to die in the Rising Sun Army camp as well. But that’s fine, our mission will be completed quickly, and even exceed our expectations,” said another man in black robes.

“But if this continues, it will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in population, and many believers will be lost. It will be difficult to explain to the leader.”

"You're worrying unnecessarily. These things will naturally be taken care of by those above. We just need to complete our own tasks."

"That's right, let's... hurry, let's go."

One of the men in black robes suddenly felt a sense of urgency, grabbed his companion and ran. The two of them instantly turned into two wisps of black smoke and disappeared.

Upon receiving Ye Chuxue's signal, Zheng Zhuang immediately urged the Tianxiu Sword to rush over.

What he saw shocked him; he never expected the situation to be so dire.

He had seen wars in the era of cold weapons on TV or in novels before. The battlefield was like a meat grinder, taking away one fresh life after another in an instant.

But what he saw now was far more devastating than he had imagined.

Monsters were rampaging across the battlefield, leaving behind severed limbs and blood staining a large area of ​​land.

Not only that, but the corpses were torn to pieces by the monsters as they fought over them, and then they were devoured on the spot.

Then every now and then new people turn into monsters and pounce on their comrades who were fighting side by side just moments before.

Every second someone dies, and then a new monster rises up.

Although the remaining soldiers fought bravely, the number of monsters did not decrease at all; on the contrary, more and more people became one of them.

On the battlefield, humans and monsters fought each other relentlessly.

One moment, several soldiers worked together to kill a monster, but the next moment, one of them turned into a monster.

This situation has been playing out repeatedly.

These monsters were utterly insignificant to Zheng Zhuang, yet for the first time, they instilled a sense of powerlessness in him, leaving him at a loss as to how to proceed.

He suppressed his discomfort and slipped to the front of the central tent of the Cangyue Army camp.

"Who goes there? To protect His Majesty."

The sudden appearance of Zheng Zhuang startled the soldiers outside the tent, who mistook him for an assassin and immediately went on guard.

"Don't be rude, this is Mr. Zheng." Chen Chui quickly came out to greet him, bowing and saying, "Greetings, sir!"

Ye Chuxue and Ding Wu rushed out upon hearing the noise.

Zheng Zhuang nodded, glanced at Chen Chui, and asked, "You're injured? What happened?"

Chen Chui sighed and said, "Sir, you must have seen the current situation. Could you please lend a hand?"

"As long as you can help Cangyue overcome this tribulation, I am willing to grant you any request," Ye Chuxue said eagerly.

As soon as she said it, she immediately felt it was inappropriate; worldly things probably held no appeal for him.

Suddenly, her face flushed inexplicably. If it were up to her... she would be willing to do it for the sake of the people.

Zheng Zhuang had no time to pay attention to the Empress's inner monologue, and said with some difficulty, "Since I promised to take action once, I will naturally not go back on my word. However, in this situation, what do you want me to do?"

"Even Mr. Lian can't do anything?" Ding Wu asked in despair.

Zheng Zhuang shook his head helplessly: "I consider myself to have some skill. If it comes to killing enemies, even if the opponent is at the Nirvana Realm, I can do my best to kill them. But when it comes to saving people, I am really not good at it."

Chen Chui was just a low-level rogue cultivator who had no idea what Nirvana Realm was. He only knew that Zheng Zhuang was far more powerful than him, but he was not as powerful as he had imagined. For a moment, he was somewhat disappointed.

Zheng Zhuang sensed the increasingly fierce battle around him and couldn't bear it.

“If we can gather these monsters together in one place, I might try to annihilate them in one fell swoop,” Zheng Zhuang continued.

Just then, a general rushed over:

"Your Majesty, General, our scouts report that a similar disturbance has occurred at the Rising Sun Army camp, but..."

"Speak quickly, is there anything worse than this situation?" Ding Wu roared.

"They...they used some method to lure the soldiers who had mutated towards our side..."

"This... what should we do? The way the Rising Sun Kingdom is doing this is simply... simply..." Chen Chui said angrily.

Ye Chuxue looked at Zheng Zhuang and said, "Sir, if we also lead the mutated soldiers towards the Rising Sun Army camp, could that be..."

Zheng Zhuang clapped his hands: "That's right, this plan is feasible. Once the mutated soldiers on both sides are annihilated, it will be much easier to deal with any subsequent appearances."

Ye Chuxue nodded and instructed, "Ding Wu, have someone prepare immediately!"

Ding Wu knew what method Ye Chuxue was referring to. A hint of reluctance flashed across his face, but he quickly suppressed it.

If we don't do this, even more people will die, and once things get out of control here, they'll flood into the rear, and that will be true chaos.

Zheng Zhuang seemed to have guessed something. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he quickly took out a talisman from his sleeve and wrote the character "驱" (drive away) in the air.

"I almost forgot, although I don't have the means to summon demons, exorcising them shouldn't be difficult."

After saying this, Zheng Zhuang tossed the talisman in his hand into the air, then pointed at it with his finger. The talisman grew in the wind and suddenly became larger in a few breaths, as if it would cover the sky.

In an instant, the monsters raging under the talisman seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, becoming restless and eager to leave the area.

Then, Zheng Zhuang took to the air and used the talismans to direct the mutated soldiers toward the Rising Sun Army camp.

"Even my talisman cannot dispel all the monsters; the rest is up to you."

On the battlefield, the soldiers who were fighting saw the monster retreat and showed joy at surviving. Then they joined forces to chase down the monster that had not left.

The situation had turned around, but Zheng Zhuang still felt a vague unease.

He believed that with magic, it was not impossible to annihilate these monsters gathered together.

However, these monsters were all human not long ago!

In other words, he is going to kill tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of ordinary people!

Suddenly, a realization dawned on him. He had always thought that the so-called calamity might mean that he would encounter one or more powerful enemies and suffer a fatal blow as a result.

Now he understood that perhaps his calamity did not come from enemies, but from killing people himself, killing many people.

But his intuition told him that it wasn't that simple. Even the so-called demonic giants had never killed so many living beings.

If you do that, you will surely be punished by heaven!

Zheng Zhuang glanced at the survivors on the ground and sighed silently.

Perhaps, he had no choice!
