The Vicious Sword Dead Guards / Dark Sword Master

"Sigh, unless I unlock the Light Element or Healing System during my fourth awakening at the Super Rank, I can forget about having the ability to purify toxins."

Lu Jun shook his head, not thinking that he was really that unlucky to have provoked such an enemy. He also thought that once he improved his physique, the ninth level of Qi and Blood would be enough.

At present, at least the poison from the Poison Gold Mummy Warrior is not insurmountable.

So he put on the Mysterious Snake Armor and charged headlong into the poisonous fog that covered the mountains and plains.

Mo Fan was dumbfounded. He himself had to avoid the sharp edge of its poison, yet Lu Jun was immune to it?!

Unfortunately, unlike in the original story, Mo Fan hasn't had any interaction with Xuan She Tang Yue yet, and his Armor Magic Tool was obtained as compensation from the capital, so he can't exert much strength in this battle against the undead in the pyramids.

Just as Lu Jun plunged into the vast sea of golden-green Sea of Mist, a magnetic and gentle female voice exclaimed from below, "Hey, you Chinese man, wait! How could you charge into the deadly poison array of the Poison Gold Mummy like this?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun frowned and looked down at the foot of the mountain.

Several graceful and holy female mages stood there, dressed in immaculate white dresses, exuding an otherworldly aura. Although they were on the battlefield, they seemed like compassionate white-clad angels, with a loyal knight guarding each person nearby.

The apprentice maids of the Parthenon, according to the temple's hierarchy, belonged to the lowest level, which is why they were sent to such a place to suffer.

Even so, the Egyptian military valued them highly. In dealing with the Poison Gold Mummy tribe, they specifically transferred a small number of Parthenon female mages to cooperate with the Huaxia National Team. Even Xin Xia was among them.

Lu Jun saw that the one who shouted was one of the beautiful Parthenon female sorceresses, with slender branches bearing abundant fruit beneath her fitted white dress.

Immediately, he ignored the other party's words and fiercely led the charge, the poison of Demon Beast generals unable to stop him.

The woman stamped her foot and muttered, "She won't listen to reason."

She then depicted constellations, one after another, with intricately interwoven stars, shimmering with emerald green, pale gold, and fiery white light.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Halfway up the mountain, just as Lu Jun was about to rush into the formation of the Poison Gold Mummy, suddenly beams of light fell from the sky, enveloping him from head to toe, and all kinds of powerful magical energy surged into his body.

High-level Healing Magic [Aquarius Star Light Seat]! High-level Light Element magic [Light Falls Ten Thousand Zhang]! Intermediate Level blessing magic [Prayer for Blessing and Dispelling Misfortune]!

Lu Jun was first enveloped in a Life Aura starry pattern resembling a jade vase. A vast amount of life force continuously permeated his limbs and bones, giving him a jolt of energy.

Then, dazzling golden light cascaded down, and countless strands, like fine scales and feathers, gathered together, wrapping the dark Mysterious Snake Armor in a layer of shimmering, glassy feathers, exuding a dignified holiness and utterly repelling the surrounding poisonous mist.

The powerful purifying force during its application even caused the golden-green toxic fog within a radius of tens of meters to burn violently, clearing the air into clean, colorless, and odorless air.

Finally, there was a Mysteries, blazing white light, a blessing that enveloped Lu Jun in a noble, pure white halo, expelling the poison and diminishing its intensity as it invaded again.

Chapter 374 The Vicious Sword Death Servant

On the battlefield.

At this moment, Lu Jun transformed into light, carrying the emerald green Life Bottle on his back. Every move he made was enveloped in holy light, and he was protected by a pure white halo, becoming the most eye-catching person in the entire venue.

Wherever he went, the golden-green poisonous mist scattered, and he instantly charged into the formation of the Poison Gold Mummy.

Before he even made a move, the immense holy power he possessed, enhanced by the three elements, caused several nearby General-level undead to scream and spontaneously combust without fire.

With a roar, clusters of white flames, each several dozen feet tall, suddenly appeared at the front of the golden-green undead horde, illuminating the hillside, dispelling large swaths of poisonous mist, and causing the surrounding area to hiss with Light Element.

Lu Jun was astonished. This level of White Magic proficiency was truly extraordinary, far beyond ordinary high-level magic. Its support capabilities were extremely strong, and he was filled with envy.

It's a pity he's protected by the Mysterious Snake Armor and doesn't need it. Why waste magic on him? It would be better to use it on Mo Fan and the others from the National Team.

Rumble!

Storm Wave! The Heavenly River Breaks Its Banks!

Immediately, Lu Jun threw a punch, and a vast expanse of dark water emanated from it. With the blessing of the Northern Darkness Mysterious Water Soul Seed, a raging black dragon roared out, its width exceeding ten zhang, and forcefully plowed a deep ravine into the ground, causing the hill to tremble violently.

The Storm Wave tore through the Poison Gold Mummy's formation from the middle, striking the Poison Gold Mummy along the way as if they were being rammed head-on by a steel dragon. The first few were crushed to pieces; this was [Mysterious Heavy].

With a whoosh, the remaining force of the Northern Sea flood dissipated, and the Yin energy erupted. The lower bodies of the mummies, submerged by the foul-smelling cloths, corroded, revealing their shriveled corpses, which then dissolved further.

"Sea Abyss!"

That wasn't all. Lu Jun hovered in mid-air at the very center of the battlefield, let out a low roar, and unleashed a vast amount of Water Element magical energy. His eyes blazed with fury, and his entire body transformed into a crystalline obsidian.

Immediately following, a terrifying, pitch-black vortex expanded around him, the condensed water flowing heavily and rapidly, unleashing a powerful devouring force that drew the Poison Gold Mummy from all directions into its trap.

It should be noted that these warrior mummies were tall and Thousand Jun, yet in the Sea Abyss Domain, they were like powerless scarecrows swept up in the towering storm.

Thump!

From above, the Black Abyss descended from the hilltop with a deafening roar, leveling a section of the mountain and tearing apart countless Poison Gold Mummy. Powerful rivers, carrying mud and trees, surged down in all directions, turning the area into a black swamp.

Lu Jun's explosion amidst the Poison Gold Mummy horde shattered the undead army's battle formation and shook their flank.

Upon seeing this, the National Government members were overjoyed. The Poison Gold Mummy had dissipated and could no longer form a unified poisonous mist. Although each individual mummy was powerful, its toxicity was no longer a threat to the National Government members.

So Mo Fan and the others pressed their advantage, relentlessly attacking the fallen enemy, rushing towards the undead Demon Beast and unleashing destructive magic, slaughtering them indiscriminately.

The Parthenon mage who was applying buffs to Lu Jun was dumbfounded. It was the first time she had seen such a brave and powerful young man. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Is this still a college student? How come he has the aura of Super Rank mage?"

Behind them, the Egyptian army's second-in-command Wankos, saw this and his expression changed, his heart filled with joy. He whispered, "It seems we underestimated these National Team. A small squad is equivalent to the fighting power of an entire army."

He turned to his officers and ordered, "Have the entire army advance and charge after these men."

Outside of Pushini, the battlefield continued. After Lu Jun defeated the Poison Gold Mummy formation, he relentlessly pursued them, leading the National Government members to reap the rewards everywhere, allowing the General Essence Soul within the White Tiger Pendant to slowly increase.

From a holistic perspective, the Egyptian army is closing in step by step, getting much closer to the mirage of a towering pyramid in the distance.

Lu Jun was so engrossed in the slaughter that he kept charging forward, unaware that he had become separated from the army mages behind him.

Suddenly, he felt the pressure in front of him ease, and looking around, he found the place completely empty. He had fought his way through the entire undead army and arrived at the foot of the pyramid.

However, Lu Jun noticed with his sharp eyes that a group of silent, chilling, elite undead were guarding the area around the pyramid.

At the forefront were several Humanoid Undead, their bodies pitch black, clad in light black armor, and each wielding a slender, sharp sword that gleamed with a cold, dark light.

There weren't many of them, only about a hundred in total. Their eyes emitted a captivating, eerie red light, carrying a strong sense of ferocity. Their aura was restrained, yet they possessed formidable strength.

When Lu Jun inadvertently stumbled in, these undead, who seemed to be the Pharaoh's personal guards, all turned to look at him, locking onto him firmly, and the pressure came crashing down on him like a tidal wave.

The most powerful of these are the Dead Servants of the Wrathful Sword! Even the weakest of them possesses the strength of Great General, and with their mastery of mysterious dark swordsmanship, their true combat power far exceeds that of other classes. Even High-Order Mage can only handle four or five at most at the same time, but these are over a hundred.

Lu Jun's expression changed slightly; he recognized the group of undead.

If the Poison Gold Mummy and the Underworld Boatmen were slaves at the very bottom of the pyramid, then the Wrathful Sword Deadpool was an elite soldier of the nation, relied upon by the Pharaoh as his right-hand man.

Whoosh whoosh!

Suddenly, a malevolent swordsman moved. The black-sworded undead walked with eerie steps, its figure shimmering yet not as limp as a ghost, but rather exuding power.

It rushed in front of Lu Jun, and with a graceful and agile slide, it directly followed up with an X-shaped slash with both hands. The sword light was cold, and the dark blade was extremely sharp, making it impossible for ordinary High-Order Mage to defend against.

While moving quickly, it has a unique rhythm that is unpredictable and makes you feel like you're being led by the nose.

Whether in sword duels or other sports competitions, anyone who can defeat a stronger opponent despite being physically weaker is undoubtedly a master of mastering the rhythm of the game.

Lu Jun cultivates the Metal Element, and his natal weapon is a sword. He understands swordsmanship. When the Wrathful Sword Death Servant strikes down, an ordinary High-Order Mage would probably have no better way to deal with it than to retreat and cast spells as the opportunity arises.

But once you retreat, you fall into the opponent's rhythm, and under their relentless attacks, it's difficult to resolve the situation in a short time.

He was different; he had a sense of excitement, like someone seeing a prey. In a flash, his three-foot sword flashed from its sheath, and he gripped the Tai'a Sword in his hand. Instead of retreating, he advanced and closed in.

Clang!

Lu Jun's blood and qi surged forth, and a phantom image of a Ghost God Dharma Image rose up behind him. The Tai'a Sword, imbued with abundant power, slashed down, precisely blocking the elusive black cross sword. A violent collision resounded.

He let out a low shout, and his terrifying power directly severed the Fiend Sword Servant's natal black sword, the remaining force striking his body.

Tear! Lu Jun's figure was ghostly and violent as he brushed past the black-clad undead swordsman. His trench coat fluttered in the wind. In the instant he stopped, the vicious swordsman behind him was sliced in two from head to toe. The cross-section was smooth, and a large amount of black, foul blood gushed out.

If both fighters are skilled swordsmen, then the key to victory or defeat lies in their physical attributes and the strength of their weapons.

Unfortunately, neither Lu Jun's Fourth Realm Qi and Blood nor the Tai'a Sword are something General-level Psionic Energy easily defeat.

Chapter 375 Dark Sword Master

Bear! Bear! Bear!

Holding the Tai'a Sword, Lu Jun leaped out, instantly cleaving a vicious sword-wielding assassin in two. The golden Light Falls Ten Thousand Zhang surrounding Lu Jun's body trembled as the golden flames burned inch by inch on the pitch-black humanoid body, turning it to ashes in an instant.

Amidst the swirling dust and ashes, a single, perfectly formed, deep blue essence was incorporated into the White Tiger Pendant.

The stronger the Demon Beast, the higher the probability of obtaining its essence. If the probability of Servant-level is 1:100, then the probability of General-level is about 1:80, and the Spirit Seed is even higher.

At this moment, he peered into the Bloody Great Marsh within the White Tiger Pendant. Besides the more than three hundred Servant Essence Soul, the General Essence Soul had increased from thirteen to over twenty. Including the three remnants of the Four-Colored Demon's Commander-level Remnant Soul, each of them possessed the energy equivalent to four or five General Essence Soul, thus gathering enough to advance to the Level Five Intermediate Magic.

Roar!

Within the area covered by the distant pyramids, a hundred malevolent sword-wielding death servants were alarmed and angrily raised their swords to attack him.

Their speed was incredible; countless black afterimages leaped and drew arcs, surrounding them from all directions, wielding dark swords together.

Swish, swish, swish!

In an instant, hundreds of dark sword lights appeared, some flashing by like stars, some with immense force, Thousand Jun down in a single blow, and some sweeping across like the moon, slicing through the waist...

Thousands of shocking black sword marks appeared in this area, like a storm of blades cutting through grass and trees. Even a small hill nearby could not withstand the terrifying dark sword power and crumbled.

Lu Jun remained calm, flicked his wrist, and the Tai'a Sword shone with platinum light, opening in a fan shape in front of him, drawing a dazzling circle that intercepted hundreds of attacks.

Clang! Clang!

A series of metallic clanging sounds rang out, and many of the Vicious Sword Death Servants were directly blasted away by the terrifying force.

His physical body is now comparable to that of Commander Rank Demonic Beast. While hundreds of top-tier Great General indeed formidable, they pose no threat to him.

Seeing that the army behind him had not yet arrived and there was no one around, Lu Jun simply mobilized all his forces.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The next moment, with a thought, he activated the initial stage of the Summoning System, transforming into a shadow and calmly retreating from the encirclement of the Fiend Sword Death Servants, dodging while controlling the Stars.

Intermediate Level Artifact Control: Overlapping Storm!

With a whoosh, the Tai'a Sword flew out of his hand, hovering in mid-air. With a sway, it split into hundreds of platinum sword lights. Each divine sword seemed to possess sentience, swooping down to fight against hundreds of malevolent sword servants.

In an instant, the battlefield resounded with the sounds of countless weapons clashing.

The deity God controlled his physical body, fighting against a hundred ancient Egyptian sword masters single-handedly. He broke free from the limitations of human control, and the angles of his sword light became increasingly unpredictable. He gained experience and grew rapidly.

Rumble!

Taking advantage of the time when the Fiend Sword Servants were entangled, Lu Jun Mage God, his eyes flashing with moon-white light, Summoning System the High-level Magic [Gate of Beast Tide]!

A magnificent gate swung open, and a series of ghostly, pitch-black figures darted out—about twenty or thirty in total. Upon closer inspection, they were none other than the Fiend Sword Death Servants.

The Spirit Carving Method involves observing the appearance and structure of the swordsman's spirit, sketching it in one's mind, and then summoning it to descend from another world.

However, given Lu Jun's High-level Two Summoning System and sixth-realm Mental Power, the fact that he could only summon such a small number of Wrathful Sword Death Servants shows just how strong the individual combat power of these Demon Beast is; a single one could fight against an Advancement Period warrior.

In the original story, Mo Fan encountered it alone, he could kill at most seven heads before escaping.

Hiss!

The Pyramid's Wrathful Sword Servants were caught off guard, and seven or eight of them died instantly. They were bewildered as to why their fellow Demon Beast would turn against them and help the human mage kill them.

That wasn't all; Lu Jun also summoned two mid-level Commander Rank Demonic Beast: the Mermaid and the Night Thunder Dream Beast.

He merged with the former, greatly increasing the power of his Water Element magic. The latter seemed to thrive in the cursed, dark land of Egypt, and upon encountering the ancient Egyptian pyramids, his aura stirred, as if he were about to undergo another sublimation.

Lu Jun effortlessly wielded various magical elements, causing the Li Jian Death Servant to suffer repeated defeats.

One spirit, two spirits...

When he felt he had enough, he continued fighting while introspecting his Spiritual World, drawing all the General-level Spirit and Commander-level Remnant Soul from the White Tiger Pendant into the platinum-gold galaxy of the Metal Element.

Sizzle!

Clusters of ghostly blue Soul Fire burned, and three ghostly blue moon-like essences exploded, overflowing with a large amount of energy to re-refresh the starry river. Crystal-clear stars continued to expand, upgrading to level five stars.

After the forty-nine stars were refined, each the Size Change of a fist, their gemstone plates gleaming.

Intermediate Level Metal Element [Artifact Control - Unity of Man and Weapon]!

As the name suggests, the host and the Natal Magic Tool temporarily merge into one, unleashing incredible abilities. This is the ultimate secret of Artifact Control. Depending on the type and cultivation direction of the Natal Magic Tool, the activated effects will also be different.

Lu Jun was satisfied. He looked at the remaining Liejian Death Servants with burning eyes. They were all precious General Essence Soul!

Buzz!

Suddenly, Lu Jun felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed a powerful Killing Intent approaching. His body trembled; a deadly danger was imminent.
