"Sizzle!"
It ended with the sound of a Sharp Blade slicing through flesh and bone.
The zombie king, Alhaitham, thus perished.
The next second, a line of blood appeared on his body, running from his left shoulder to his right waist.
Immediately afterwards, the body, cut in half diagonally, fell into the ruins.
Behind him, the Shadow Alhaitham, along with the death of its true form, dissipated into the domain of the Hall of Yama.
Its mission has been perfectly accomplished.
Even in his dying moments, there was no trace of resentment in Alhaitham's eyes.
On the contrary, it is filled with liberation.
He turned his head with difficulty and gave Jiangnan a meaningful look.
That look in his eyes didn't seem like the resentment of a murdered person, but rather like gratitude to the god who gave him his end.
"Call..."
With complete death, a wisp of soul drifted out from Alhaitham's mangled body.
He clasped his hands together, a peaceful smile on his face, as if preparing to ascend to heaven or vanish into nothingness.
Unfortunately, Jiangnan, standing atop the mountain, is a thorough pragmatist.
He couldn't see it at all, nor did he bother to understand the heroic tragedy within it.
He simply patted the Human Emperor Lamp at his waist with a blank expression and uttered three words.
"Dinner's ready."
The words had barely left his mouth!
The Human Emperor Lamp is just like [Liangzi seeing the board], or [Cao Cao suddenly catching a glimpse of a widow]!
That was such an intense, irresistible thirst, I couldn't control myself!
With a whoosh, the Human Emperor Lamp jumped off Jiangnan's waist on its own!
It spun in mid-air, and more than a dozen chains shot out from the lamp's opening, binding Alhaitham's soul as he was about to ascend to heaven with his eyes closed!
And she was even bound in a turtle shell style!
Alhaitham's soul:???
No, wasn't I free?!
Where are they taking me?!
The next moment, without giving him any chance to scream, the Human Emperor Lamp suddenly sucked in Alhaitham's soul.
Jiangnan nodded in satisfaction and was about to turn around to deal with the remaining issues.
Just then, the Human Emperor Lamp sent a message.
[Ding! The Human Emperor Lamp has successfully absorbed the soul of the top-tier "Zombie King Alhaitham"!]
[Automatically Disintegration! Gained 100,000 Love Points!]
"Um?!"
Jiangnan's cold expression crumbled.
He turned around, went up to the Human Emperor Lamp that was still spinning smugly in mid-air, and slapped it across the face!
"Clang!"
The Human Emperor Lamp was slapped so hard it rolled several times on the ground, leaving it dizzy and disoriented.
"Who told you to Disintegration him?!"
Jiangnan's eyelids twitched with anger. "I told you to hire employees!"
The Human Emperor Lamp, having been beaten, floated up from the ground, looking utterly aggrieved.
It could hang down several chains, scratching out a few crooked words all over the ground.
[Boss, didn't you say you wanted me to cook dinner?]
Seeing the self-righteous question on the ground, Jiangnan's eyelids twitched even more violently.
Good heavens, I never thought I'd be reduced to reasoning with a lamp!
Moreover, what alarmed Jiangnan the most was that this thing, as a bound Weird Artifact, dared to logically contradict its master.
I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that I look at it, this broken lamp not only has independent intelligence, but also a rebellious spirit in its bones!
If it gets too carried away and reaches the level of a super-grade or even Demigod, wouldn't it trigger a mechanical crisis and quietly devour its owner?
Thinking of this, Jiangnan let out a cold laugh.
He walked to Alhaitham's body and pulled out the Sovereign Sword.
Then he walked to the mark left by the Human Emperor Lamp and added a sentence with the tip of his sword:
[How's it going? Enjoying your meal, huh? How about I send you to the fourth dimension right now for a feast?]
Upon seeing the words "four-dimensional space," the Human Emperor Lamp trembled violently.
It quickly controlled the dozen or so chains to shake their heads, waving them in mid-air as afterimages, indicating that it absolutely refused!
Are you kidding me!
There is nothing in four-dimensional space except absolute Void!
If you throw it in, won't it starve to death or die of boredom?!
"You're smart to know what's good for you."
Jiangnan snorted coldly and once again drew a warning line on the ground with his sword.
From this moment forward, no soul captured hereafter may Disintegration without authorization!
Even if you're a complete F-class trash, without my personal permission, you'll just be locked up and forced to work on a sewing machine!
Otherwise, we'll seal you in a four-dimensional space and make you eat air for 999 years!
Seeing the menacing words on the ground, the Human Emperor Lamp was so frightened that he kept nodding and bowing.
This means it has completely understood and will absolutely never dare to make the same mistake again.
Jiangnan then let it go a little and asked a question.
[How many resources do you need to advance to Special Grade? Make a list.]
The Human Emperor Lamp, as if granted a pardon, quickly used his chains to trace the upgrade requirements on the ground:
[Replying to the boss, the minimum requirements for promotion to Special Grade are: 3 million in Love Points deposit; 10 Special Grade employees; and 50 S-class employees.]
[After absorbing those small fry in Soul Return Town, you currently only have 50 S-class employees left to meet the requirement.]
[The "love value" is less than one-third.]
[As for top-tier employees... there are currently only four in the company that barely meet the requirements.]
After reading the list, Jiangnan's eyes twitched violently, and the anger he had just suppressed suddenly flared up again.
He raised his leg, as if to kick again.
"You knew you were still short 6 top-tier items, and you still dared to Disintegration them?!"
The Human Emperor Lamp quickly backed away, then scratched its head on the ground with a pitiful expression.
[I'm just saying this because your Love Points are so low, you're practically penniless!]
As a form of hard currency, isn't cash flow a better store of value than goods? I'm doing financial planning for you!
Jiangnan's lips twitched.
Where did this AI-generated idiot come from?!
So this broken lamp only appears clever on the surface; deep down, it's still a short-sighted miser!
Money is indeed a hard currency, but the problem is that your money is just training vouchers, which can be printed at will!
Jiangnan complained inwardly.
Low-level monsters that can Disintegration into hundreds or thousands of Great Love Points are plentiful on the Weird Island.
Where can I find a top-tier monster worth 100,000 Great Love Points?!
Do you think you're one of those average, mediocre college students you see everywhere?
Jiangnan felt deeply weary of this situation.
But there's no way to explain long-term investment and human resource management to someone who's just trying to understand things; it's like casting pearls before swine.
However, this ordeal served as a wake-up call for Jiangnan.
His wariness of the Human Emperor Lamp was at its peak, though it remained hidden deep within his heart.
Get to work!
Jiangnan was too lazy to waste any more words on it.
[Go and clean up the remnants of souls on the battlefield!]
[Anyone below S-class or Special-rank in cultivation, have their souls extracted and Disintegration Great Love Points! Don't let a single one escape!]
This time, the Human Emperor Lamp understood.
It was so excited to be able to eat at a buffet without getting scolded that it was practically glowing green.
"Whoosh~"
The Human Emperor Lamp transformed into black smoke and plunged directly into the chaotic battlefield below, beginning to roam wildly among tens of thousands of corpses.
They specifically targeted zombies and skeletons that had been reduced to low health by Chen Bin's heat vision.
With a hook of the chain, the execution threshold is mercilessly triggered, pulling away the soul and looting gold!
Jiangnan Nan stood atop the mountain, surveying his imposing [Hall of Yama] territory from above, observing the battle situation.
With the addition of Xu Wange as a fresh force, Iron Maiden, in combination with Shadow Iron Maiden, achieved a two-on-one victory, completely dominating the main body and making the battle go well.
The dense horde of zombie soldiers on the ground was rapidly diminishing under Chen Bin's heat vision and the harvesting power of the Human Emperor Lamp.
However, the situation is not so optimistic for [Shadow Qiongqi] and [Shadow Skeleton Warrior] in the center of the battlefield.
Because...
The [Sovereign Sword] that Alhaitham left behind is still in use!
Although the sword was in Jiangnan's hands, it was still emitting an amplifying aura.
With the buff, the original Qiongqi and the original Skeleton Warrior, who were initially at a numerical disadvantage, are now showing signs of turning the tide and are locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.
Jiangnan lowered his head and glanced at the [Sovereign Sword].
Because this isn't his own equipment, he not only can't see the equipment panel, but he doesn't even have the right to use it.
A repulsive force resisted his hand at the hilt of the sword.
"Even with its master dead, this sword is still stubbornly resisting?"
Jiangnan sneered, "He's quite the loyal one."
"In that case, we'll leave you be for now."
"I'll see how long you can hold out."
Jiangnan admires this kind of Unyielding spirit.
Since we can't force it to be refined, we can only crush its hopes and make it submit on its own!
Therefore, Jiangnan turned its attention back to Qiongqi battle.
The [Eye of Mobius] between his brows opened, and its dazzling golden light shone once more.
"Near Yet Far, yet worlds apart!"
