"interesting!"
Jiang Yuan flicked his spear, and the powerful blade light vanished instantly, replaced by the crisp sound of metal breaking throughout the entire first layer of the underworld.
"Mountain Fox Squad - Yu Biao!"
Jiang Yuan calmly looked at the person in front of him. The one who attacked him was a mercenary from the Mountain Fox Squad he had met before.
"Major Jiang, these people have been completely corrupted by death energy. They are now puppets of the underground palace, and their strength is far greater than before!" Long Shan was worried that Jiang Yuan would underestimate them, so he shouted loudly as soon as possible.
Under the Heavenly Eye's detection, Yu Biao's strength reached three thousand, a world of difference from his previous strength of just over one thousand. The fact that he could reach such strength in a mere day suggests the shady dealings within the underground palace.
"Venturing into my underground palace is an unforgivable crime!"
Yu Biao, exuding black energy, charged angrily at Jiang Yuan even after his broadsword was broken, intending to crush him with his bare body.
"How pathetic to lose oneself in the power of evil!"
Seeing Yu Biao charging towards him like a wild beast, Jiang Yuan leaned on his spear with one hand and clenched his fist with the other. Then, his soul energy surged, and he threw a punch with ferocity.
Tai Chi!
The two fists collided. It goes without saying how powerful a full-force strike of three thousand units of energy would be. Jiang Yuan was forced back several steps, but his fist was equally powerful. Yu Biao, who was hit, was thrown out and finally collapsed to the ground, his life hanging in the balance.
As Yu Biao fell, a dark shadow appeared on the ground, its intention clear: to take the defeated Yu Biao away.
"You turned my people into ghosts, and now you want to take them away? It's not that easy!"
Jiang Yuan's pupils were gathering light, and the next second a beam of bright sunlight struck Yu Biao. "Moonlight Holy Light, Purify!"
The black mist and the moonlight clashed like hot oil and water, instantly exploding on the spot with a crackling sound.
During the purification process, Jiang Yuan rushed over quickly, trying to dispel the death aura on Yu Biao's body.
However, an unexpected event occurred. The black mist, which had been blasted by the moonlight with a thunderous roar, condensed in mid-air and, with a gentle smile, a skull formed from the black mist appeared.
"Water-bound challenger, this general has been waiting here for a long time!" The skull's jaws opened and closed, and its sharp, piercing voice echoed in the first level of the underground palace.
"Bai Qi?" Jiang Yuan looked up without any panic. In fact, he had already guessed whose dojo this was.
"Looks like you recognize me!" The black aura around the skull grew thicker with each word, and its empty eyes flickered with soul fire. "Not bad, saves you the time of introducing yourself!"
"I just want to leave with my friends. As for your affairs, I don't want to get involved!" Jiang Yuan said calmly.
He didn't know how strong the Lord of War was, but he had heard the Lord of War mention Bai Qi, who was a ruthless person who had spent eighty-seven years and reached the third stage of the Profound God Realm to extract the Sigh of the Earth. Faced with such an existence, it was wise to protect himself.
Ignoring Jiang Yuan's words, the skull continued, "Your killing intent is not pure enough. Someone like you is nothing but a nobody on the path of killing!"
"Is that so?" Jiang Yuan didn't know what Bai Qi wanted to say, so he could only wait and see.
"Therefore, in order to help you condense the purest killing intent, today, this place will be your home ground!"
After saying that, the skull burst into laughter, then turned into a cloud of black mist and dispersed on the first level of the underground palace.
Jiang Yuan's expression hardened, and the moment he saw the black mist spreading out, he immediately ordered, "Tomb Maiden, use the Netherworld Barrier to cover them!"
They were referring to Longshan and his group. Although the Heavenly Eye could not identify the origin of the black energy, his intuition told him that the black energy was definitely not a good thing.
"Grave Maiden, it's time for you to go back!"
As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, a grand echo resounded throughout the entire underground palace. The tomb maiden's face turned deathly pale, and her entire body began to contort.
"The Tomb Maiden!" Jiang Yuan frowned.
"General, save me!" The tomb maiden tried to reach out to Jiang Yuan, but her body twisted more and more frequently, and in the blink of an eye she became illusory.
"Water elementalist, the answers you seek are all on the eighteenth floor!"
The skull's laughter continued, and with it, the Tomb Woman completely vanished; Jiang Yuan could no longer sense her presence.
After the laughter subsided, the skull continued in a chilling tone, "However, before that, you need to firmly uphold your path of killing!"
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Yuan's sense of crisis grew stronger. The other party's elusive and unpredictable methods were clearly beyond his capabilities.
"Haha, enjoy it!"
The laughter stopped abruptly, but Jiang Yuan didn't feel relaxed at all; instead, his nerves became even more tense.
The tomb maiden's whereabouts are unknown, which means that he has lost some of his initiative within the underground palace.
Huff, huff, huff! Heavy breathing continued to reach Jiang Yuan's ears. When he turned around, he saw that Yu Biao, who had been defeated and whose death aura had dissipated, had actually stood up again, and the death aura on his body was so dense that it was beyond what living beings could bear.
“Completely undead!” Jiang Yuan remembered what the tomb maiden had just said. Half-undead people were already outside the realm of normal humans, but now it was more than just half-undead.
Crack! The ear-piercing sound of bones grinding together rang out continuously. At this moment, not only Yu Biao, but also Long Shan and the others noticed something unusual.
Jiang Yuan turned his head to look, and every soldier of the North City Allied Army had lifeless eyes and was exuding a strong aura of death.
"Dianling, don't do anything that will backfire!" Jiang Yuan's expression was gloomy, and he had a bad feeling.
Everything that happened here must have been at the behest of the Temple Spirit, so he directly blamed the Temple Spirit for what happened here.
However, what you fear most is what happens. When Yu Biao stood up again and attacked him, Long Shan and the others had also completely transformed into undead.
