Lu Chengchuan stood in front of the stairs. As the chariots rushed up, he overturned them one by one.
More and more monsters poured out of the gate. Lu Chengchuan was blocking them from below, so they couldn't get up for the time being. Lin Jing and the others didn't dare to look back or stop, and they gritted their teeth and ran upwards.
There were more and more monster corpses, and he gained a lot of life. Just when Lu Chengchuan was happy, a roar came from inside the metal door.
A powerful force came with the roar, Lu Chengchuan slapped the monster in front of him away, and looked at the gate with a serious expression.
This power, this monster's strength is also at the innate level.
“Run!”
Lu Chengchuan shouted loudly to the back, and Lin Jing and others who were running for their lives heard the sound and could only speed up.
If there were only these monsters, Lu Chengchuan wouldn't be so anxious. He alone could hold off tens of thousands of low-level monsters. But if a monster with similar strength to his came in, Lin Jing and the others would be in trouble.
Not to mention helping them if a fight breaks out, Lin Jing and the others have to be careful not to be killed by the aftermath.
As the roar came, the monsters became more excited. Although they were excited, they were still slapped to death by Lu Chengchuan. But it was not good news that they became like this.
Lu Chengchuan kept staring at the metal gate. Now the gate was almost completely open, and when the roar dissipated, the rusty metal gate was completely opened.
Just as the door was completely opened, the excited monster suddenly retreated slowly.
Lu Chengchuan knew that the main person here was about to come out.
In the darkness, a tall figure slowly walked out. The man was wearing rusty-yellow iron armor, a beast-faced helmet, and holding a long sword in his hand.
A figure walked out of the metal gate, and a powerful aura emanated from it.
It walked slowly over, and the monsters automatically parted to make a wide path for it.
"Humanity..."
It walked in front of Lu Chengchuan and slowly uttered two words from under the beast-faced armor.
Lu Chengchuan's eyes shrank and the monster's words echoed in his ears. It was the first time he heard a monster speak. Who was this guy?
"You can talk, are you also a corpse demon?"
Lu Chengchuan slowly drew out the Mo Gu Sword. This guy was putting a lot of pressure on him, so he had to take it seriously.
"I'm... a corpse demon? Hahaha!"
In response to his question, the corpse demon suddenly burst into laughter, and then suddenly stopped laughing.
"I am your future master!"
A cold voice sounded, and Lu Chengchuan's face changed. He raised the Mo Gu sword to block in front of him.
The Ink Bone Sword blocked the corpse demon's long sword. A huge force came, and he couldn't help but take a step back. The corpse demon didn't expect that he could react and caught up in an instant.
A sharp blade flashed by, and murderous intent surged. Lu Chengchuan felt his heartbeat quicken and hurriedly raised his sword to block it.
After blocking a few attacks, Lu Chengchuan seized the opportunity and slapped out with one palm.
The hot internal energy surged out, and the corpse demon had no time to dodge, and was knocked back several steps by Lu Chengchuan's palm.
The corpse demon retreated, and the monsters beside it did not dare to approach. Lu Chengchuan chased after it and slashed at the corpse demon's body with a sword. The corpse demon did not dodge and let the ink bone sword cut it.
The sword blade landed on its worn iron armor. Lu Chengchuan thought he could cut the corpse monster's body in half, but a bright spark burst out and the Mo Gu sword failed to cut through the armor.
Lu Chengchuan couldn't believe it. He used all his strength in this sword strike, and even an iron man could be cut in half, but there was no wound on the corpse monster.
A flash of black light passed through the corpse demon's body, and Lu Chengchuan saw it, but before he could think too much, the corpse demon's long sword chopped down again, and he could only step back to block it.
The man and the monster were hacking at each other. The people on the stairs were more shocked than Lu Chengchuan when they saw this scene.
"Run, the monster is catching up!"
Zhou Yaning saw the monster running up the stairs and quickly told everyone to run faster.
"Throw away all the useless things on your body, including the water and food! Throw them all away!" Lin Jing also shouted.
As they ran, everyone threw away useless things on their bodies. They wanted to run away, and these things were just a burden that slowed them down, so it was best to throw them away quickly.
They didn't dare stop. Lu Chengchuan had also met his match, and they had also witnessed the battle in Donghai City. If Lu Chengchuan got close to the monster, they might die in the aftermath of the battle.
They could only run fast, firstly for their own sake, and secondly to avoid dragging Lu Chengchuan down.
Lu Chengchuan pushed the long sword away with all his might. The more he struck, the stronger the monster became. He could sense that the monster's fighting power was still increasing, and he couldn't fight the monster for long.
But he also had to buy time for Lin Jing and the others, so he had to continue fighting with the monster.
Lu Chengchuan no longer confronted it head-on, but kept changing positions to deal with it. The corpse demon also knew what he wanted to do, but it was not in a hurry and just fought with the human.
Lu Chengchuan felt vaguely uneasy, always feeling that the corpse demon was preparing something, but in order to let Lin Jing and the others escape, he had no choice but to fight on.
After fighting for an unknown amount of time, Lu Chengchuan walked through the underground palace and almost entered the metal gate.
However, the corpse demon stopped him. Seeing that it didn't want him to go in, Lu Chengchuan entangled with the monster around the gate and continued to delay time.
After dragging on for an unknown amount of time, a red flare slowly fell.
The red flare was the retreat signal sent by Lin Jing and his men. Lu Chengchuan knew that they had run up there.
It just so happened that he was almost unable to hold on any longer. He didn't know what level this corpse demon was. Its combat power was getting stronger and stronger. He really couldn't defeat it without transforming into a giant elephant.
Lin Jing and his men ran up the ladder. It would have taken them an hour to climb, but they only took 20 minutes to reach the top. After reaching the top, they quickly signaled Lu Chengchuan to retreat.
Seeing the retreat signal, Lu Chengchuan took a step forward without hesitation and reached the bottom of the stairs in an instant.
The corpse demon stood there in a daze for a moment, as if it had not expected that humans had such a skill to escape. It could not keep up with the speed.
The corpse demon chased after him, but no matter how he tried, he could not defeat Lu Chengchuan who had the skill of shrinking.
Lu Chengchuan crossed a distance of three hundred meters in an instant, and the monsters in front could not stop him from escaping. Some of the monsters were hacked to death by him, and some were pushed out of the stairs by their companions and fell into the abyss.
The corpse demon was chasing after him, but his speed was not fast enough and he couldn't catch up.
Watching the human running farther and farther away, the corpse demon became furious. It had already regarded the other party as its own pawn, but it didn't expect that this person would actually trick it.
Lu Chengchuan ran all the way up, and the whole process took less than a minute.
"Mr. Lu!"
Soon he caught up with Lin Jing and the others, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him come back.
"Run! That monster is powerful!"
Lu Chengchuan urged them to keep running. The corpse demon was too powerful. Even if he used the giant elephant transformation, he might not be its match, let alone Lin Jing and the others.
Even Lu Chengchuan said it was powerful. The six people didn't dare to rest and ran as fast as they could.
Fortunately, the passage was very flat. It took them three minutes to return to the room where they fell at the beginning, a distance of seven or eight hundred meters, while the corpse demon and some monsters also caught up with them.
