"What... what exactly happened?"
Sensing something, Long Yuan and the others looked at the giant beast. They saw the beast pause for a moment, and then a thin bloodstain appeared on its body, which then spread outwards.
Upon closer inspection, the giant beast's body had been cleaved in two by a single sword strike.
"Qingfeng's strength has actually improved so much? He is indeed terrifying!"
Long Yuan struggled to withstand the horde of corpses in front of him, his face full of shock as he said, "We saw Qingfeng couldn't even break through the giant beast's defenses before, but now he actually killed it with a single sword strike. Is Qingfeng cheating?"
At this moment, Qingfeng's condition was also not optimistic. He took a deep breath, his body trembled, and he almost collapsed.
At the brink of life and death, he finally comprehended the existence of sword intent, successfully grasped the basics of sword intent, and unleashed this supreme strike after using most of his strength, successfully killing the SSS-level ferocious beast.
"The situation is not optimistic. If we can't break out soon, we might be doomed here."
Qingfeng looked at the ever-approaching horde of corpses in the distance with a grim expression. It wasn't that he didn't want Longyuan and the others to fly away, but when he looked up, there were dozens of bird-like demonic beasts overhead, all of which were at the S-rank.
Flying up in this situation would be tantamount to suicide.
"No, we can't give up yet. We must at least fight for their survival!"
Qingfeng took a deep breath, forced himself to stand up, and then used his enhanced ability to plunge back into the horde of zombie beasts like lightning.
Fortunately, there was only one SSS-level ferocious beast, so Qingfeng didn't encounter too many troublesome situations afterward, although stamina was one issue.
At this time, most of the people in the Underworld Temple with superpowers below level A were already dead, either devoured by monsters or divided up by a group of zombies.
Only those with A-level or higher abilities are still struggling, but it's only a matter of time before they give up.
The zombies present were basically all comparable to C-level superhumans, and with such a terrifying number, it meant that the people of the Underworld Temple were likely to be wiped out.
"Palace Master, I'm sorry, I failed to protect the Palace of the Underworld."
Finally, Qingfeng reached his limit. His hands trembled so badly that he could no longer hold the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword and let it fall to the ground.
He collapsed helplessly, his eyes filled with guilt towards Lin Fan. He had failed Lin Fan's expectations. He then closed his eyes in resignation, preparing to await death.
He has absolutely no chance of breaking out today.
"No!"
Long Yuan and the others, who were still struggling, were furious when they saw this scene. They wanted to do something, but found that they could not even protect themselves.
They could only watch helplessly as the horde of corpses engulfed Qingfeng.
But at that moment, a ray of light leaked out from the pile of corpses.
What is that?
The people from the Temple of the Underworld seemed to have grasped a glimmer of hope, and spoke with some anticipation. As their words fell, the light quickly became even more dazzling, and soon the entire world was illuminated by this light.
Under the light, the horde of corpses that had previously surrounded Qingfeng turned to dust, and soon, a huge phantom appeared in the sky above the scene.
"It's Mr. Xiao!"
Long Yuan and the others were immediately excited upon seeing this scene, as if they could be saved as long as Xiao Chen was there, even though it was just a wisp of Xiao Chen's avatar.
At the same time, Xiao Chen, who was in seclusion in the cave, opened his eyes.
"My power has been used? It's Qingfeng's. Could it be that he's encountered some danger? Oh well, my Duan Yang Nine Swords is about to reach minor completion. I'll wait until I reach minor completion before coming out of seclusion."
Xiao Chen shook his head and then resumed his cultivation.
Meanwhile, Qingfeng felt the warmth enveloping him and opened his eyes. With Xiao Chen's help, Qingfeng's strength had returned to its peak.
"It's Mr. Xiao!"
Qingfeng said excitedly, but at the same time he was filled with regret. If he had known earlier that he had Mr. Xiao's power within him, then their Underworld Temple would not have suffered such heavy casualties.
Unfortunately, this was only a trace of Xiao Chen's power, but even so, he was still able to deal with all the zombies here very easily.
"Exorcising Palm!"
Xiao Chen's avatar had lifeless eyes. After speaking indifferently, he immediately struck down with a palm. That huge palm instantly wiped out the 100,000 zombies present. This was the strength of the Golden Core stage.
"Hiss! As expected of Mr. Xiao, even his avatar can easily wipe out 100,000 zombies."
The surviving members of the Underworld Temple gasped in shock, their faces filled with astonishment. After eliminating all the zombies and monsters present, Xiao Chen's avatar vanished.
"Is this Mr. Xiao's strength? It is indeed terrifying."
Qingfeng's expression turned serious as he watched this scene.
Soon, Long Yuan and the others arrived in front of Qingfeng. Seeing that only thirty-odd people from the Underworld Temple remained out of the previous hundreds, Qingfeng's expression turned grim.
"First, collect all the zombie crystals and monster cores here, then leave. This place is no longer safe. Let's find a secluded place to rest."
Qingfeng took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression. Then he led the people from the Underworld Temple to collect all the crystals and crystal cores here and left quickly.
Fortunately, they left Lin Fan with directions before they left, making it easier for him to find them.
If he wasn't mistaken, the crystals inside the zombies should also be of considerable use to them.
On the other side, Lin Fan felt a sense of unease, as if something bad had happened.
"Something's not right. Could it be that something happened at the Temple of the Underworld?"
Lin Fan said with a gloomy expression. Looking at the red stone, he saw that Chen Guiran had been promoted to A-level with his help. Thinking of this, Lin Fan quickly came to Lin Yichen.
"Now that the Lin family's matter has been resolved, I'll head back to the Underworld Temple. I don't know why, but I suddenly have a bad feeling. Something might have happened at the Underworld Temple."
Hearing this, Lin Yichen naturally wouldn't stop him. She just reminded him to be careful on the road and let Lin Fan head back towards Haishi.
After Lin Fan left, Lin Yichen quickly came to Chen Guiran.
"Are you able to move this red stone now?"
Chen Guiran was immersed in the thrill of breaking through to A-level when he heard Lin Yichen's words and spoke with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, Valley Master. With my current strength, I can still move that red stone out of here."
"In that case, let's get it out and take it back to the black market!"
"yes!"
