Abyss Summoner

Chapter 575 - 562: Utter Despair

The cries of battle and shouts resounded, flames of war filled the sky. Li Hongyi’s former residence was now stained red with blood, corpses lay everywhere, over a thousand bodies piled together, an impact so chilling it made one’s scalp tingle.

The allied forces thought this was a sure ambush, but upon entering the camp, they realized it was just the beginning of their despair.

Six Demon and Martial Cannons were set in all directions, and in just one round, dozens were killed and over a hundred injured. Furthermore, the shells were laced with poison; just a scratch would render someone incapable of basic movement.

How could the allied forces have anticipated such terrifying weapons on the other side? The ranks fell into chaos instantly. Moreover, the slaughter was far from over. Before they could regroup, over a hundred warriors armed with guns appeared. These men wore Insect Armor, steel sabers at their waists, fully armed like a horde of demons.

They were elite soldiers of Order, and none were professionals, yet under the enhancement of their weapons, they unleashed terrifying destructive power.

At the same time, these men raised their guns, aiming at the chaotic crowd, without any hesitation, and pulled the trigger. In an instant, blood blossoms bloomed among the crowd, the enhanced ammunition even penetrating the defense of professionals. One bullet might still be bearable, but when a hail of bullets pierced the body, their fate was sealed.

They fired without a word upon appearing. Bang bang bang bang... the intense noise exploded through the air, leaving the allied forces shivering. The leading professionals, Two-headed Demon and Red-faced Ghost Servant, blocked the bullets with their arms, roared, and charged forward.

In this land, strength was still measured by the power of professionals. The Two-headed Demon and Red-faced Ghost Servant were the strongest in the allied forces, their prowess nearly reaching the Golden Tier, restoring some confidence when they struck.

A short distance away, an immensely obese man joined the melee. He appeared fat but moved with agility. With one punch, he reduced a guard’s head to pulp, dead beyond dead.

Lin Xiao.

He was Shi Xiong’s newly promoted second-in-command. With Wang Duan’s death, this man named Lin Xiao rose successfully to power. Lin Xiao weighed over three hundred pounds, yet stood only about five feet seven, resembling a mountain of flesh. His greasy body perpetually evoked discomfort.

Lin Xiao was vicious and ruthless. Compared to Yan Xiu, he made Yan seem insignificant. He also seemed mentally disturbed, sadistically enjoying brutal killings. It was due to this flaw that Shi Xiong had previously snubbed him. But now, with manpower in short supply, Shi Xiong was compelled to promote him to replace Wang Duan.

Behind him were some armed thugs. With Lin Xiao and his men blocking the offensive, their pressure eased considerably, allowing them to counterattack.

The Red-faced Ghost Servant stood at the forefront of the crowd, surrounded by a flock of crows that were not real but formed from energy. Keenly aware, the crows obeyed his command, pouncing on enemies to drink their blood.

These crows, feeding on blood, hovered around the Ghost Servant. A tangible aura of murder spread out, seemingly causing even the very wind to halt and freeze!

Frontline warriors raised their guns, aiming at the Ghost Servant. With their expert marksmanship, firing could strike at his weakness.

"You think you can take me down? It’s nothing but a dream!"

Unfazed, the Red-faced Ghost Servant faced hundreds alone, silver peaks and dozens of Silver Warriors, without panic but a cold smile.

Confronted by such a formidable force, the Ghost Servant seemed indifferent, calm as ever, leaving everyone wondering what he intended.

"All of you, die!"

With a steely gaze, the Ghost Servant never paused his steps. When everyone fired, producing a barrage of gunfire, suddenly, he waved his hand.

As his words fell, the Ghost Servant raised his hand, and with an unexpected burst, countless black smoke surged out. The next moment, the smoke began to shape, transforming into mountain-like dinosaurs, rhinos, elephants, these beasts formed of black mist charged into the crowd.

Even more astonishing, underfoot lurked many small creatures: spiders, sparrows, centipedes, toads, dragonflies—all lifelike, yet everyone knew these lives were energy forms, capable of drinking human blood.

"You think an ambush like this could kill me? The lord demands none left alive here today. You all die here!"

The Ghost Servant’s tone was chilling, with a fierce glint flashing through his eyes. Instantly, the scars on his face twisted grotesquely, like centipedes coming alive, causing shivers.

The cruel, grim, and gruesome expression, combined perfectly with the Ghost Servant’s terrifying aura, etched itself into everyone’s heart.

This Red-faced Ghost Servant, worthy of being Chen Ligang’s top confidant. His abilities evoked storms of shadows. In that energy, some had manifested into tangible substance, just shy of stepping into the Golden Tier!

"Woo woo..."

Who could have predicted this ambush would instead drive the Ghost Servant forward under pressure? If he survived this battle, his life would transform into a Golden Strongman!

Then, even Chen Ligang’s influence would rise, gaining more territory in this territory, leading step by step—becoming the foremost power in the chasm would just be a matter of time.

The chilling mist of ghostly aura spread, and as if sensing its master’s frenzy, the energy-formed apparitions began trembling slightly, thrilled, seemingly eager to gorge on enemy blood!

The Ghost Servant too felt the energy transforming, grinning darkly as he manipulated it to bring more blood. But just as he was a step from victory, a score of clawing, howling azure-faced giant wolves leapt from the crowd.

The fearsome wolves, daunting even the wandering shadows, their superior power making them falter, slowing their momentum.

"Ghost Servant, you’re too arrogant—a mere dog under Chen Ligang dares barking before me!"

A reprimand came from behind, and soon, a jade-like visage appeared before everyone. Instantly, the Red-faced Ghost Servant, as if seeing an apparition that should not exist here, withstood a steadfast, imposing figure but involuntarily stepped back...
