Upon hearing this, Nan Yu and the others gasped for breath.

Eileen's face darkened. "That thing down there can even be controlled by an eighth-tier expert?!"

Ke Qing was also somewhat shocked: "I didn't know! I only knew that the eighth-level expert disappeared after being lured underground, I didn't expect that he was controlled!"

If it's just about killing eighth-tier powerhouses, then with a dense horde of flesh and blood monsters, it's not impossible.

However, controlling an eighth-tier powerhouse has a completely different meaning.

The monster below is far stronger than they originally imagined!

Thinking of this, Nan Yu and the others felt a chill run down their spines.

But they had no time to think. As Lu Ning began to fight the eighth-tier awakened one, the flesh and blood monsters behind them charged forward again.

Nan Yu used gravity control again, tearing apart a large swathe of fleshy monsters in front of him, and shouted, "Block it!"

Eileen's expression changed slightly, then she said, "Captain! Go help Lu Ning! We'll hold them off here!"

Nan Yu was taken aback, then looked at Eileen and the other two.

Lin Menglan and Afaf also had resolute expressions.

Lin Menglan said, "I think Eileen is right! We've exhausted ourselves too much! If we continue like this, we'll probably be dragged down. We must finish this quickly!"

Nan Yu frowned and said, "But you might not be able to stop so many flesh and blood monsters."

Afaf grinned and said, "Don't worry, as long as you can kill that eighth-tier expert as soon as possible, we won't have to hold out for too long!"

"Captain, go quickly!"

Eileen took a deep breath, opened her arms, and lightning crackled in her hands.

A violent electric net was released from her hands, and a large area of ​​fleshy monsters in front of her was electrocuted into charred remains.

As soon as Eileen finished unleashing her power, Lin Menglan created a thick earthen wall to block everyone's way.

Outside the earthen wall, wave after wave of fleshy monsters attacked it, causing the wall to tremble violently and cracks to appear.

In just a few breaths, an area was shattered, and a fleshy monster emerged from a crack in the earthen wall.

Just as he emerged from the crack, Afaf's fist, glowing with a pale white light, landed heavily on his head, shattering the flesh monster's skull.

Nan Yu did not hesitate.

He took out his short staff again.

The moment Nan Yu picked up the short staff, his face twitched violently.

Unlike Lu Ning, Nan Yu doesn't have to worry about mental pollution.

However, Nan Yu is just a normal awakened being, and the problem of mental pollution is extremely serious for him.

The mental pollution from the mid-level soul weapon was too strong. Nan Yu didn't even dare to use the full power of the soul weapon, lest he lose control of his mental pollution and develop a disease!

He hissed, "Give us one minute!"

After saying that, he took to the air and rushed towards the battlefield where Lu Ning and the eighth-level expert were fighting.

Although there is only one rank difference between the eighth and seventh ranks, the eighth rank belongs to the higher-level awakened beings, and their strength is much greater than that of the seventh rank.

Lu Ning used the one-time dangerous item he was previously rewarded with. Although he was much stronger in all aspects than before, he still could not gain an advantage against the eighth-level awakened one in front of him!

Moreover, in Lu Ning's view, this eighth-level awakened person had two soul artifacts.

The black longsword in his hand is a low-risk soul weapon, while the black necklace around his neck is a medium-risk soul weapon!

Even though this eighth-tier expert seems to be under control at this moment and unable to fully activate his soul weapon, the amplification brought by the soul weapon itself, combined with his own strength, still gives him extremely powerful combat power.

In just a few breaths, Lu Ning clashed with the eighth-level awakened one in front of him over a hundred times.

Each collision generated a tremendous shockwave, tearing the flesh and blood on the metal pipes to shreds. Even the pipes themselves were ripped apart, revealing the dark black soil outside.

During the collision, one hideous wound after another appeared on Lu Ning's body.

Even a metallized body defense could not withstand such a powerful attack.

In contrast, the eighth-level expert was not harmed at all.

This is the huge difference between intermediate and advanced awakened beings.

Lu Ning himself was only at the fifth rank.

He tried using his charm ability, but the mental strength of this eighth-tier expert was much stronger than that of the flesh and blood monster, so the charm ability had no effect.

To defeat the eighth-tier expert before him, the only thing Lu Ning could think of was to trade blows and constantly wear him down.

Just then, the eighth-tier expert suddenly stopped attacking. The ground beneath his feet caved in, and his bones seemed to creak under the immense pressure.

As a seventh-tier Awakened, Nan Yu, combined with a mid-level Soul Weapon, possesses extremely powerful gravity suppression.

Even an eighth-level expert was suppressed in an instant.

Sensing an opportunity, Lu Ning did not hesitate at all and stepped forward. In the gap when the eighth-level expert was bound by gravity, the scarlet sword pierced his chest.

The crimson sword hummed as it began to absorb energy rapidly.

The eighth-tier expert sensed the danger, let out a low roar, and the flesh covering his entire body writhed violently, breaking free from the suppression of gravity.

The next moment, the black longsword in his hand slashed towards Lu Ning's neck.

Lu Ning didn't even try to dodge.

puff!

The long sword severed Lu Ning's neck, and his head flew into the air.

Because Lu Ning's body was now metallic, no blood was flowing out.

Lu Ning's head had just flown off his neck when he grabbed it with one hand and pressed it back down onto his neck.

The next moment, Lu Ning's neck returned to normal.
