Things More Terrible Than Death

“Then, Baron Hyde, I hope we can meet again when we return to the blood race territory.”

Mitre, under the protection of Earl Leng, along with his guards, charged towards the city wall.

With the power of Earl Leng, a Sequence Six, as the spearhead, it was easy to break a hole in the city wall.

The sky was the main stage of the blood race.

They were not afraid of humans who could not fly.

Under the balance of interests, Hyde did not rashly follow behind Mitre.

The meaning of Earl Leng was very direct.

I won’t take your spoils of war, but I also won’t be responsible for your safety.

If any problems arise, don’t come to me.

Hyde couldn’t understand why the Earl would first rescue Mitre, a blood race who was willing to share his spoils of war, and leave him here.

Therefore, he could only attribute it to the fact that this nobleman who came here on his own had a background that even the Earl could not offend.

After Leng left with Mitre’s team, Hyde, who was defending his position, had no choice but to face the increasing pressure.

Helplessly, he could only gather his remaining guards.

As all the human attention was on Earl Fol, he looked for a new place to hide.

Before leaving, he did not forget to bring the four human women who had fallen into a coma.

At the same time as he was hiding, he also spared a part of his attention to observe the battlefield next to Earl Fol.

This was related to his life.

Once Earl Fol lost, he would not have a good ending even if he stayed here without leaving.

The white-haired human woman in front of Earl Fol was the one he had seen not long ago, the one who was a match for Earl Leng.

From the perspective of Sequence level, this human woman named Bai Yun only had the standard of Sequence Five.

However, she was able to forcefully raise her Sequence with a method of overdrafting magic essence and life force.

It was this method that made Fol smell a hint of danger.

This was something that he had never sensed on Bai Yun’s body before.

“Isn’t it good for humans to be alive? Why do they have to court death?”

In order to buy time, Fol tried to use words to disrupt Bai Yun’s thoughts.

“Isn’t it good to be alive?”

A similar phrase had been heard not long ago by Bai Yun’s ear.

Sensing the appearance of the Sequence Six aura, Nie Ping ground his teeth and prepared to go to the city wall.

The Northern Border Defense City only had him, a Sequence Six.

He naturally needed to step forward and stop the enemy.

“You can’t handle three Sequence Sixes by yourself. I’m going too! I can still drag one of them down!”

Bai Yun, who had gotten enough rest, struggled to get up from the bed.

Her withered white hair was hanging down, and her eyes were still dim.

“No, the injured should stay here.”

Bai Yun’s voice came from behind him.

Nie Ping stopped his feet that were heading out, and without even thinking, he rejected Bai Yun’s request.

“Why? My body is not injured, I can still fight slowly.”

“Isn’t it good to be alive?”

Nie Ping’s face darkened, and he almost roared out this sentence.

He didn’t care about his position, and even the medical staff who came to check the situation were shocked.

“Although I don’t know your specific method, this method of burning magic essence of yours is obviously not just using magic essence as fuel.”

Looking at Bai Yun’s eyes, Nie Ping said word by word, “And your life force, right?”

Even Bai Yun, who was confident, knew that her messy white hair was not cheap, but also revealed to others.

A discerning person could see that this was the price Bai Yun had paid for burning her magic essence.

When she collapsed from her previous life-threatening state, there was also this side effect, which was a merit of half a point.

“That’s right, this secret technique of burning my life force, as the price for raising my sequence, I only have about a year left now, enough to drag a Sequence Six blood race to hell with me.”

Since she had been seen through by Nie Ping, Bai Yun generously revealed her remaining trump card.

“To let the civilians die because of our laughter, and to sacrifice their lives, this is something I cannot tolerate.”

Even though she was at a critical juncture, Nie Ping’s responsibility was still unconsciously holding back all of Bai Yun’s life force.

“Commander, now is not the time to be willful. No one is more suitable than me to be your deputy. You cannot bear to see the entire city destroyed because of me.”

“What if you can’t even beat three blood races by yourself? What will happen to the citizens in the city then? Even if I don’t burn my magic essence to survive, my end won’t be good.”

“I’ll go with you.”

Bai Yun’s rebuttal directly hit Nie Ping’s heart, reminding him of what he should pay attention to most.

“Teacher Bai, I hope you can promise me that you will pay attention to your limits and not burn all your life force at once, leaving yourself a little time.”

After being rebutted by Bai Yun, he heaved a long sigh.

The Northern Border Defense City needed a living hero, not a soulless statue or monument.

You still have students in the city looking at you.

And even if I fall, it should be me, the commander, who falls at the forefront.

“Thank you for your reminder, I will try my best to live on.”

Seeing the situation, Bai Yun nodded heavily and agreed.

Nie Ping opened the way for her.

If she agreed to let Bai Yun fight, she would unleash the strongest Sequence Six aura on the city wall.

This aura carried a bit of unfamiliarity, and it should belong to the one who hadn’t made a move.

As an Earl who was trying to preserve his strength to the greatest extent possible, he couldn’t have imagined that he would not be able to match Nie Ping, who was not in a complete state.

How much of a chance did he have of winning?

Fol’s words made Bai Yun recall what Nie Ping had said to her.

At this moment, Nie Ping should have already faced the enemy.

Bai Yun also had to collect her thoughts and seriously look at the enemy in front of her.

For Bai Yun, it was good news that an Earl had left.

In this way, her pressure would be reduced, and she only needed to concentrate on dealing with one Earl.

The corresponding amount of life force Bai Yun needed to burn was not much, and she could delay for a while longer.

“You ask me why I’m here to die, of course it’s because there are things more terrifying than death.”

“Behind me are the citizens of the Northern Border Defense City and my students.”

“So I can’t take another step back!”

Seeing that Fol’s purpose in asking the question was to stall for time and wait for the blood race that had left to return.

Bai Yun didn’t talk much nonsense with him.

After she finished speaking, she pulled out her long whip and rushed towards Fol at a tricky angle.

Caught off guard, Fol tilted his head to dodge.

Bai Yun’s long whip grazed his cheek.

Fol only felt a burning sensation, and a bloodstain appeared on his right cheek.

His expression changed from solemn to serious.

He, a genuine Sequence Six, was actually hit by a counterfeit Sequence Six in an instant?

Even though this was an intentional and unintentional sneak attack, it was enough for Fol to re-examine this enemy in front of him and treat her as an opponent of considerable strength.
