The Lich's soul flew back to a cave buried deep underground and slipped into a dusty clay jar.
Beside the jar lay the naked, mummified body of a man. It was the Lich's spare body.
After its flesh was destroyed, the Lich's soul had sustained some damage. It needed to recover inside its Phylactery before it could use its spare body to move around again.
But the moment its soul entered the jar, Fang Cheng emerged from the ground right beside it.
Without following the soul, he wouldn't have found this place, buried more than a hundred meters underground, so quickly.
The Phylactery shook violently. The Lich's soul flew out of it and, ignoring its injuries, plunged into the spare body.
The mummy's eyes snapped open, green ghostly flames flickering within them.
It sprang to its feet and began chanting strange words no one could understand.
A mass of pale skeletal hands burst from the ground and clawed at Fang Cheng's legs. At the same time, the entire cave began to tremble. The Lich wanted to bury Fang Cheng alive along with itself.
Blazing light instantly illuminated the pitch-black cave. Two Solar Rays shot from Fang Cheng's eyes, pierced the mummy's head, then swept downward, cleaving it in half.
The Lich's soul flew out and slipped back into the Phylactery.
Fang Cheng used Vector Control to shatter the skeletal hands on the ground, then darted forward and punched the Phylactery.
Powerful defensive spells and curses had been placed on it, but they were useless against Fang Cheng's overwhelming strength.
The clay jar shattered across the floor. The Lich's soul wailed as it dissipated, and a pitch-black key fell from within.
The cave had already begun to collapse. Fang Cheng picked up the key and left with Earth Escape Technique.
