The inside of the huge cavity is now in chaos.

Fang Zheng was tightly surrounded by two undead giants and a flesh puppet. On the other side, Stone and Malte teamed up to deal with the messenger of death. The other Knights Templar were not in a good situation either. They were surrounded by another flesh puppet and a dozen skeleton soldiers. They were stretched to the limit and it seemed that they were about to collapse.

what to do?

Fang Zheng was watching the two undead giants in front of him with vigilance, and thinking carefully. The appearance of the Bone Duke was completely beyond his expectation. In Fang Zheng's opinion, the current situation couldn't get any worse. Even Shi Dong and Malte couldn't kill an undead creature casually summoned by the Bone Duke. In this situation, let alone destroying the ritual, even protecting themselves was difficult.

The flesh puppet and the undead giant were equally troublesome. The flesh puppet seemed to be impossible to kill. Fang Zheng had used the Holy Storm to tear it into pieces more than once, but it was useless. Even though it had turned into a piece of rag with holes everywhere, it would still stubbornly attack Fang Zheng. Coupled with the two tall undead giants, even Fang Zheng had to dodge.

Damn it...if Stone and Malte weren't here...

Rolling again to avoid the attack of the Undead Giant, Fang Zheng held the long sword tightly in his right hand and dragged it behind him, then swung it forward. The Sky-Breaking Sword whistled with a trace of light and slashed at the Undead Giant's head, leaving a deep scar on it. The Undead Giant, who suffered a heavy blow, immediately roared and half-knelt on the ground. Just as Fang Zheng was about to go up to finish him off, a long strip of object that looked like minced meat suddenly jumped out from the side. A human mouth appeared on the top of it, and it screamed like crying and rushed towards Fang Zheng.

Coming again?

Hearing that strange and chilling voice, Fang Zheng's eyes suddenly condensed, and then he dodged backwards helplessly. This flesh puppet had almost been ground into dregs by him. But even so, this thing still did not look like it would be destroyed, but became more and more difficult to deal with. Fang Zheng tried several Paladin skills in a row, but to no avail. Maybe he should use a five-fireball to completely burn the opponent into charcoal?

Unfortunately, there was no Jaina in the soul stone in Fang Zheng's hand. As for whether the psionic energy would work on the undead creatures... Fang Zheng did not have any hope for it.

“Ahhhhhhhh!!!”

The flesh puppet in the form of dried meat rushed over again. Fang Zheng raised the Broken Sky Sword in his hand, and a golden shield appeared out of thin air in front of him. The flesh puppet crashed into the golden shield and retreated with a scream. But Fang Zheng did not miss this opportunity. He raised the Broken Sky Sword and swung it forward with force.

ruling!

The golden holy light enveloped the flesh puppet in an instant. Under the bombardment of the omnipresent holy energy, the flesh puppet screamed again, and its originally upright body began to soften. Although it was a puppet without blood and tears, the undead creature was naturally restrained by the holy power.

Taking advantage of the moment when the flesh puppet "softened", Fang Zheng jumped over it with one step, and chopped down the Sky-breaking Sword in his hand without hesitation, completely chopping off the head of the undead giant. The undead giant, who had been severely injured before and had no time to stand up, fell to the ground immediately, deader than dead.

Finally killed one!

Fang Zheng took a breath, but the death of the undead giant did not make him feel very happy. The undead giant, the flesh puppets and even the death messenger were just small characters. Fang Zheng did not forget that above their heads there was a powerful lich, one of the five members of the Council of the Dead, the Lord of Liches, the Duke of Bones Frank.

Fang Zheng didn't know how powerful he was, but judging from the looks of Stone and Malte, he shouldn't be much worse than Kel'Thuzad. Although he could deal more than 250% holy damage to the undead due to his title and various bonuses, there was a base value. If he was dealing with ordinary undead creatures, he could kill them instantly, but against these guys with thick skin and high levels, his weakness of low attack power would immediately show up.

What to do next? How long must he wait?

Fang Zheng clenched his left hand, then took a quick glance around. If he was the only one here, Fang Zheng would activate Arthas's soul stone without hesitation. The Lich Lord might be scary, but the Lich King... well, at least he wouldn't be too bad.

But it was not possible now. Malte and Shi Dong were still here. The characteristics of the Lich King were too obvious. Once Fang Zheng activated the soul stone, he was sure that the two would be able to confirm his identity immediately. By that time, all his efforts would be in vain. He had spent so much effort to break into the temple, not to escape before enjoying any benefits.

Of course Fang Zheng was also prepared. He held an invincible spell in his hand, which he would use immediately if he found something wrong. This was also one of Fang Zheng's confidence. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Arthas had learned all the skills of a Paladin, otherwise he would probably be even more passive at this moment.

But if they continue like this, they will die too.

Frankly speaking, Fang Zheng still admired the two great knights, Stone and Malte. If it was that crazy woman named Connie, he would have activated the Lich King right away. At worst, he could just kill the crazy woman and then frame the Lich King. Fang Zheng didn't like killing people, but he wouldn't be polite to those who wanted to kill him.

However, for Stone and Malte, Fang Zheng still hoped that they could survive if possible, not only because he got along well with them, but also because they had a good relationship with him and were quite influential in the temple. Fang Zheng was not sure whether such people were the majority in the temple, but no matter whether it was or not, one more friend always meant one more way.

But now it seems that this hope is a little slim, and more importantly, what does the Lich Lord want to do?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little upset. The opponent's strength was enough to crush all of his people. It just hit Shi Dong hard with one blow, and even with the addition of Malte, it wouldn't be much better. It only needs one AOE to kill all of his people, so what is it waiting for now? Could it be that, like in the novels, this kind of boss has a hobby of watching the enemy die after being tortured?

While complaining in his heart, Fang Zheng glanced up at the sky, and then his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

Gone!

The Lich Lord who was supposed to be there is missing!

Fang Zheng even wondered if his eyes were blurry for a moment. He blinked and quickly turned his head to look around. Finally, he was sure that while he and his companions were fighting fiercely with those damn undead creatures, the Lich Lord had actually quietly run away?

What is this song about?

"Teacher, Great Knight Malte, the lich is gone!"

"What?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's voice, the two great knights who were struggling with the Death Messenger were also stunned. They also raised their heads and looked around, but were surprised to find that the Lich Lord had really disappeared!

What's going on?

The battle was still going on, but everyone looked confused. Like Fang Zheng, none of them thought they could scare away the Lich Lord, not even Stone and Malte. In fact, they were just struggling. This was the human instinct to resist and survive. They also knew that they could never be the opponent of the Skeleton Duke. They also understood that the other party would never let them go.

After all, the core purpose of the Council of the Dead is that "death is better than life", right?

But now, the Duke of Bones is gone?

What is this operation?

“Bang!!”

Suddenly, at this moment, a dull sound emerged, and both sides were stunned when they heard it. Although the collision sounded not loud, it seemed to have a special attraction, so that even the least intelligent undead giant turned his head and stared in the direction of the sound. Fang Zheng also looked there like everyone else.

That was the center of the magic circle, with a huge sarcophagus placed on it, and the sound came from inside the sarcophagus.

“Bang!!”

As everyone looked at it, they saw the sarcophagus tremble again. Fang Zheng then discovered that there were dozens of thick chains tied to the outside of the sarcophagus! At this moment, those chains were cracked due to the impact and even showed signs of falling off!

etc!

Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng felt a chill on his back, and he suddenly thought of something.

Knight Malte said that the lich was planning to hold a ceremony here, so they came to stop him. When they arrived, everything seemed to be nothing special, so Fang Zheng didn't pay much attention to it for a while. But now, he suddenly thought of a question.

What if the Lich Lord's ritual had already ended before they arrived?

Is he just waiting for me and others to arrive?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng's face suddenly turned extremely pale.

Damn, I’ve been fooled!
