Compare their combat abilities.

While Li Chen was battling with the being in the void, the outside world seemed to be engaging in a minor skirmish.

The God-Slaying Cult mobilized their entire force to besiege the treacherous monster.

Zero Guard, standing beside Li Chen who had not yet regained consciousness, suddenly unleashed its tentacles upon the recklessly charging Evil Cult.

The clumps of meat on the ground were his culprits.

The changes in Li Chen's body caused even Ling's little face to wrinkle with worry.

A constant pressure swirled around Li Chen.

Even the energy-rich ground collapsed under the pressure.

Even he understood that the Lord was also fighting, and the situation was not optimistic, but he always believed that the My Lord was the strongest.

Suddenly, in those few seconds of Zero's distraction, a long knife pierced Zero's frail body, and black blood dripped down.

The God-Slaying Cult, having succeeded, laughed wildly, "Ha ha ha, we've got it!"

"As long as I kill you, and then kill the Eerie Lord, the Cult Master will definitely grant me supreme power, and I will wield absolute authority!"

"I am the chosen one..."

The words had barely left his mouth when a sharp, piercing pain shot through him. The cultist looked down at his body, pierced by tentacles, and collapsed heavily to the ground.

Zero snorted coldly and pulled the blade out of his chest.

"Kill me? With your ant-like strength, that's wishful thinking!"

Most of the God-Slaying Cult here are at the Looking River Realm, Withered Sea Realm, and Calamity Realm. They were almost all stopped by Zai'e before they even got close to this place.

The Clown and the man were stopped by Cang Yue and Yu.

The battle was extremely fierce.

My Lord must be playing a game with that so-called cult leader, so only Zero can protect him and keep him from any harm. Thinking about this, Zero even smiled.

Protecting our My Lord is his duty!

If the Lord were to return and see this scene, would He praise him? Or even imagine that he might be able to achieve chip freedom in the future? Zero immediately worked even harder.

The tentacles crushed all the attacking God-Slaying Cult.

This scene also attracted the attention of the God-Slaying Cult the Calamity Realm.

Their primary target was Cang Yue.

However, killing the Eerie Lord Li Chen is a higher priority.

As long as the Eerie Lord Li Chen dies.

Wouldn't the saintess have no choice but to obediently go back with them?

At that moment, almost all the believers moved.

Countless abilities assaulted Li Chen.

Zero's expression changed drastically. There were too many, too many abilities; it would be difficult for him to block them all. But he still gritted his teeth and roared.

Its body began to swell, and dozens of tentacles emerged from its back.

In a flash, he appeared in front of Li Chen.

Its slender body, combined with its tentacles, formed a purse-like ball of flesh, completely enveloping itself and its My Lord.

Boom! Boom!

The tentacles were constantly attacked by abilities.

It tore open in several places, but was immediately repaired by the Eerie Monsters's extremely strong healing ability.

But the pain won't go away.

The attack frequency is too high.

Even healing couldn't keep up with the rate of destruction.

Ling Sha's face was pale as she huddled beside Li Chen, enduring the pain as tentacles continued to emerge from behind her to block the attacks.

Meanwhile, Evil Cults outside are also recklessly using their powers to cause harm.

Blood Charm and Calamity were busy dealing with three Calamity Realm experts and couldn't spare any more time, so they could only watch as the attacks continued to rain down on Zero.

The disaster's voice was extremely hoarse, his face stern. His usually smiling face was now unusually cold. He turned to Blood Charm and said, "Take care of them!"

"Zero won't last long..."

Blood Charm nodded, and swung its incredibly sharp bone claws towards the void.

A jet-black claw-like aura attacked the three Evil Cult, but was blocked in an instant.

Previously, a group of powerful members of the God-Slaying Cult died, but their sacrifice was not in vain. Instead, their abilities were thoroughly investigated, making a quick resolution extremely difficult.

They even fought an exceptionally fierce battle with Cang Yue's side.

The Puppeteer has the upper hand over Cang Yue; so what if she can control time?

He has countless fearless humans, and as long as Cang Yue's Moment Gun cannot hit his main body, it is useless. After all, it does not directly control time, but relies on that gun to trigger the effect of time reversal.

It's tough... everyone's stuck.

If Li Chen were here, these people wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous. After all, once the Forbidden Door is opened, could they possibly defeat the endless Eerie Monsters within simply by outnumbering them?

A dozen or so Calamity Realm Eerie Monsters appeared at random.

Even if we can't kill this Evil Cult, we can at least force them to retreat.

But at the moment, it's unclear what Li Chen's situation is.

Zero gritted his teeth and endured all the damage, struggling to hold on. If it weren't for protecting his My Lord's body, he would have already fought his way out.

Defending is always harder than attacking.

The Clown, like a madman, wielded two scythes and kept slashing at Yu, his scarlet eyes meeting Yu's bloodthirsty gaze.

Both the human and the charlatan are battle maniacs.

Wherever he went, the ground cracked, limbs flew everywhere, and even the Evil Cult who hadn't yet reacted were killed by the Clown with a single blow.

This gives you an idea of just how insane he was.

His opponent, however, was devoid of emotion, not even flinching at being injured, and completely unfazed by his imposing presence.

The Clown laughed eerily, "Hahaha, interesting!"

"A creature that is half human and half monster, yet possesses such a terrifying physical body; I underestimated it."

"However, I am the Scythe of Fear!"

Instantly, the scythe in his hand moved like a blur towards the person he was about to kill.

Meanwhile, on Zero's side, the healing rate of the flesh ball had begun to slow down.

But the frequency of those attacks is indeed increasing.

The wounds on Ling's small, lean body continued to accumulate, and large amounts of dark blood began to spurt from his mouth and nose, yet he still protected Li Chen's body. He slightly raised his head, gazing up at Li Chen's motionless form, and murmured, "Master, am I about to die...?"

"I feel so weak, I just want to go back to the Forbidden realm to rest..."

"I want to... I want to..." The voice grew weaker and weaker, and the fleshy mass that was wrapped around her began to tear. The frenzied voices of the God-Slaying Cult outside kept reaching Zero's ears.

He was somewhat powerless, his head drooping slightly as he knelt before Li Chen.

"That Eerie Monsters can't hold on any longer!"

"The Eerie Lord has been killed!"

"If we can take him down, we'll win."

Zero's body has too many scars. The tentacles were originally part of him, and countless of them were destroyed by the Evil Cult. He heals by relying on the energy within his body, and the scars can no longer be healed.

His eyes were incredibly dim, filled with self-reproach for failing to protect his My Lord. Nevertheless, he still stood up and stood in front of Li Chen with his arms outstretched, drops of blood dripping onto the ground, almost forming a pool of blood.

The Evil Cult broke through the opening and swarmed in, but stopped in their tracks, not daring to move an inch, and their arrogant words abruptly ceased.

At that moment, a cold, large hand placed on Zero's head and rubbed it, followed by an indifferent voice.

"Thanks for your hard work."
