Lin Tian was stunned and quickly ran towards the empress's tent.

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late, and saw that the mouse had already arrived in front of the empress's tent.

Waves of miserable screams resounded through the sky as rats gnawed at the creatures frantically. In the blink of an eye, the entire army turned into skeletons.

Seeing this, Lin Tian's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He never expected that Zhao Mingrui would be so vicious. Many of these people were his subordinates.

He ran quickly, ready to rescue the empress, but his feet suddenly shook.

Lin Tian looked down and found that he was trapped in a swamp. There was mucus everywhere. He quickly used his luck to try to break through the barrier of the swamp.

But the harder he pushed, the deeper he sank, and before long, Lin Tian's body had sunk three feet into the ground.

Seeing himself trapped in the quagmire, Lin Tian couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect Zhao Mingrui to be so cruel.

"What's going on?"

Xiao Zhihan in the underground palace was also stunned. She was frightened by the sudden change and hurriedly used her spiritual energy to protect her body.

But the soldiers and prisoners around him were not so lucky. They were corroded and turned into bones.

Her body began to slowly sink, and Xiao Zhihan felt that her consciousness began to blur as the mud swamp sank into her head.

At this moment, suddenly a gentle force spread throughout her body, protecting her body.

Seeing the darkness all around her, Xiao Zhihan felt a warm current beside her. She felt endless warmth, and this power also made her feel inexplicably familiar.

Gradually, that power weakened, Xiao Zhihan's consciousness gradually recovered, she opened her eyes and saw Lin Tian.

"It's you, you are the prisoner just now?!"

As the light in Lin Tian's hand illuminated the entire underground palace, Xiao Zhihan showed a look of shock.

"It's indeed me, but if we want to leave we have to cooperate."

"Cooperation, cooperation on what? What did you say? Do you know who I am? I am..."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Although I can see from your expression that you are not very willing, but if you also want to leave, you can only cooperate with me temporarily."

Lin Tian said this lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"Humph, I'm not such a stingy person. If we can get out, I can consider pardoning you."

The empress said coldly, she was already regretting it a little.

"Oh, really? Since you said yes, please extend your hand."

When the empress heard this, her face changed slightly. She stood up angrily, pulled out the hairpin on her head and pointed it at Lin Tian.

"How dare you! What do you mean by that? Do you really want to resist?"

"Am I weaker than you?"

Lin Tian was too lazy to pay attention to the empress's words and continued talking on his own.

"Humph, you are indeed strong, but if we fight alone you may not be my opponent. If I use other moves, even if I am defeated by you, it will still be more than enough for me to escape."

The empress said calmly, her face full of confidence.

She believed that Lin Tian would never be able to do anything to her. If she did not run away, she was confident that she could kill the man in front of her in a short time.

"Haha, since you have such confidence, then fine, let's have a sparring match now. I want to see what Her Majesty the Empress can do."

Lin Tian looked at the empress with a sneer, an evil smile on his lips.

"You are not qualified to fight. All you need to do is kneel down and beg for mercy. Maybe I can let you die more quickly."

The empress looked at Lin Tian with contempt and cursed in her heart: This man overestimates his own abilities and even wants to challenge me. He is simply dreaming.

"Someone should have taught you when you were a kid not to be too much of a rival in love, and not to look down on others."

Lin Tian replied indifferently, and his figure disappeared instantly. The next moment, he appeared in front of the empress and stabbed her chest with a sword.

The empress was shocked and quickly took out her sword to block, but she was still knocked away and fell heavily to the ground.

"How dare you hurt me!"

"I told you I have the qualifications! You are no match for me. Will you obey me or will you resist and prove your power as the empress?"

"You're looking for death!"

Xiao Zhihan stood up from the ground, covered her chest with her hands, and looked at Lin Tian with gritted teeth, her face full of resentment.

"The world is so beautiful, but you are so irritable. This is not good."

Lin Tian shook his head and said jokingly, then turned and walked outside, leaving Xiao Zhihan alone in a daze, her pretty face flushed with anger.

"Humph, don't think I don't dare to kill you! After I get out, I will definitely kill you myself."

Xiao Zhihan said viciously, and then chased after him. Now she could only rely on her own strength to leave here.

When the two men walked out of the palace, they found that the entire palace was empty, there was nothing in it, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

"No wonder this palace is so empty. It turns out that this palace once experienced a massacre."

Lin Tian frowned and said, Xiao Zhihan also felt it, her face was very solemn, she felt that there must be other dangers here.

"You are afraid now, but you were yelling loudly just now."

Seeing Xiao Zhihan's frightened look, Lin Tian couldn't help but tease her.

"You...don't be so arrogant. I will kill you sooner or later."

Xiao Zhihan said gritting her teeth. Her mind had not yet recovered from the shock just now, and now she encountered another strange thing.

"I'll be waiting for you here. Don't blame me for bullying you then."

Lin Tian scanned the entire palace with his spiritual sense, but did not find any corpse. He couldn't help but frowned.

He always felt that there seemed to be a very familiar breath in the palace just now.

But when he looked carefully, the familiar breath disappeared again, which made Lin Tian still have a trace of doubt in his heart.

But he would not dwell too much on it. Since the aura was gone, it proved that it did not exist at all. Perhaps he was just thinking too much.

Maybe it has something to do with Xiao Zhihan. After all, it is not uncommon for there to be another clone of the heroine during the trial.

He simply stopped thinking about it and continued walking outside. Based on his experience, he was sure to encounter monsters inside.

At this time, he saw many men in black in front of him.

The clothes of this group of people are very uniform, but their eyes emit a faint green light.

Seeing these people, Lin Tian couldn't help but become alert.

"Who are these people?"

"They should all be puppets summoned by Zhao Mingrui. No, they should be the white cat next to him."
