Fluctuations of Spiritual Qi

He wore a Jade Stone pendant with nine grooves around his waist.

The nine grooves are exactly similar to the Nine Dragon Ring in Su Zhan's hand.

Su Zhan placed the Nine Dragon Ring into a groove.

Click!

The Jade Stone emitted a light, then began to spin with a clicking sound.

Nine grooves become one.

A faint fluctuation of Spiritual Qi spread outwards.

Su Zhan was overjoyed and was about to shout when the Jade Stone exploded with a loud bang.

Nine beams of white light shot into the sky, illuminating the darkness with dazzling brilliance.

The nine stone pillars hummed incessantly, and then a circular Magic Array slowly appeared before Su Zhan.

The Magic Array was golden in color, and several ancient Totem patterns were engraved on it.

It evokes a sense of calm vastness, ancient simplicity, and sacred majesty, inspiring an instinctive desire to worship.

"Waaaaah..."

Just then, a piercing wail came from afar.

Immediately, a gust of cold wind howled in, carrying dust and grime, and swept towards the cave entrance.

"Whoosh!"

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

Dust and smoke rapidly expanded, enveloping the cave entrance and obscuring their view, preventing Su Zhan and his companions from seeing what was happening outside.

Su Zhan instinctively waved his hands to defend himself.

His movements were so fast and violent that they knocked over many things nearby, making a loud banging sound.

At the same time, he was covered in a lot of dust.

"Damn it, it's that damn wind again!"

Su Zhan cursed and quickly circulated his Spirit Energy to drive away the dust.

He had just tested it; Spirit Energy couldn't drive away the dust at all.

"Splash!"

Just then, the gray mist in the distance churned violently, boiling like water, before coalescing into a massive Gray Skeleton.

The skull was over twenty meters tall, with a head as large as a fan, a long, pointed mouth, blood-red eye sockets, and a body composed of gray mist.

Su Zhan's expression changed drastically. He roared, drew his Combat Dagger, and charged towards the skeleton.

The Combat Dagger swung out with lightning speed, slashing fiercely at the skull.

Click!

The skeleton was slashed by a Combat Dagger, but it still charged forward fearlessly.

Thick gray mist emanated from its body, lowering the temperature inside the cave by several degrees; it was clearly an evil entity.

Su Zhan gritted his teeth and retreated, avoiding the onslaught of the gray fog.

The gray mist quickly coalesced, transforming into a sharp short sword that shot towards Su Zhan.

Su Zhan swayed his body repeatedly to dodge the attacks, and even extended his left leg to sweep horizontally.

The short sword, formed from condensed gray mist, shattered with a snap.

Before Su Zhan his breath, dozens of clouds of gray mist spewed from the skull's head, condensing into dozens of sharp arrows that shot towards him.

They moved aimlessly, but at an extremely high speed.

Su Zhan hurriedly retreated to avoid the arrows, but he was still unable to dodge them and was struck in the chest by two arrows.

He groaned and flew through the air.

Su Zhan endured the pain and got up. "Damn it!"

"Whoosh--"

Just as he was about to retaliate in anger, the skeleton spewed out dozens of clouds of gray mist that coalesced into a gigantic spider.

The spider, spinning its web, launched itself at the attack.

Su Zhan's eyelids twitched. "You bastard, you've gone too far!"

As he spoke, Su Zhan gripped his Combat Dagger and charged forward to meet the enemy.

The spider was enormous, and with a flick of its tail, dozens of Poison Needle flew out, blocking Su Zhan's escape routes and forcing him to walk in constant fear.

Su Zhan not only had to guard against the gray fog attacks, but also had to deal with the spider's Poison Needle.

He was shot through the abdomen while trying to dodge, and blood gushed out.

Bang bang bang!

The spider's venom sprayed all over Su Zhan's body, quickly corroding a patch of his clothing and revealing his wounds.

"Damn, how come this thing is getting more and more powerful?"

"No, we have to get out of here!"

Feeling his injuries worsening, Su Zhan decided to run away first, otherwise he would really die here.

So Su Zhan took out the Nine Dragon Ring and pressed it hard against the spider.

"Call--"

Nine dazzling White Light shot out and instantly entered the spider's body.

The spider let out a miserable cry, collapsed to the ground convulsing, and quickly stopped struggling, its life extinguished.

"Whoosh whoosh--"

At the same time, the Magic Array was fully activated, and a faint blue light shone on the stone walls, cave ceiling, underground, and above the Stone Coffin.

Su Zhan's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason; a sense of danger was creeping in.

He tried to escape, but it was too late; the stone walls, Stone Coffin, pillars, and bed had all been breached.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Thousands of Silver Needles shot out, carrying a fierce and deadly aura as they hurtled towards Su Zhan.

"Not good!"

Seeing this, Su Zhan turned ashen-faced and turned to run towards the door without hesitation.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The dense array of Silver Needles blocked all escape routes, leaving Su Zhan no way to escape even the slightest gap.

He could only desperately try to block and move aside.

With a series of crisp clanging sounds, all the Silver Needles were embedded in Su Zhan's body, pinning him to the spot and making it difficult for him to move.

His right arm and shoulder were pierced by bullets, and he was covered in blood.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

At the same time, dozens of zombies emerged, surrounding Su Zhan and eyeing him menacingly.

Su Zhan roared, "Damn it!"

Hehehehe...

Just then, another eerie laugh echoed from the cave entrance, followed by a dark figure slowly walking in.

He had long, flowing hair, deep-set eyes, and a ferocious appearance, and he held a sickle in his hand.

He approached Su Zhan step by step, exuding a chilling and Sha Qi, as if he had just crawled out of hell.

"Demon King!"

Su Zhan's pupils constricted sharply. "How could it be you?"

He knew the other person and knew their background.

Are you surprised that I broke free of my restraints and appeared here?

The man in black robes chuckled softly, "You probably think that I'm the master of the Tomb Guardian, and that only I can open the tomb passage, right?"

Su Zhan blurted out, "I am indeed a little surprised, after all, you've been dead for a long time..."

"I was dead, but I was resurrected using Secret Art."

The man in black robes frankly told Su Zhan, "My physical body is dead, but my soul remains, so I was able to emerge using the power of the Restriction."

Believe it or not, I won today.

"I will devour you, and then consume your soul completely. This is the rule of the Styx River, and I cannot disobey it!"

He was extremely arrogant.

Su Zhan was slightly dazed upon hearing this, but then regained his composure. "Then we are also destined to be incompatible!"

"Haha, a fated clash?"

The man in black robes burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke, then his tone turned stern as he uttered a sharp command:

"I am the leader of the Four Greats ferocious beasts under the Demon God, ruthless and bloodthirsty, committing all kinds of evil, and the Ancestor of Slaughter. You dare to talk to me about fateful antagonism?"

"Stop joking."

"Although you are powerful, you are far from qualified to be a ferocious beast. You are only slightly stronger than Ordinary Grade. Killing you is as easy as crushing an ant for me."

He looked at Su Zhan with disdain. "Comply with me obediently, and perhaps I'll spare your dog's life!"

Without wasting words, Su Zhan patted the Combat Dagger at his waist and then shifted his stance.

"Waaah--"

He hurtled towards his opponent like a cannonball, flicking his wrist and sending out a piercing sound.

The Combat Dagger flashed with a cold light, thrusting out with astonishing force.

"Court death!"

The man in black narrowed his eyes, raised his claws, and unleashed a Heavenly Demons flames.

"Bang!"

The two collided with a muffled thud, sending shockwaves and flying stone chips.

A brute force struck, and Su Zhan staggered back six or seven meters, each step leaving a deep crater in the ground.

"Pfft!"

Su Zhan a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Kid, you overestimate yourself!"

The man in black robes stepped forward. "I'll give you three seconds to consider."

"Kneel down, submit to me, or die!"

"Or I'll tear you to pieces right now!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

As he shouted and cursed, countless Silver Needles shot out, enveloping Su Zhan with a sharp whistling sound.

"Pah!"

"I'd rather die than live a life of dishonor!"

Su Zhan wiped the blood from his mouth and roared, "You want me to be your slave? Dream on!"

He roared and swung his Combat Dagger, deflecting hundreds of Silver Needles.

He then swayed to the side to dodge, creating a safe distance.

He prepared to unleash Killing Move to finish off the guy in front of him.

"You have no choice. Your fighting ability is far inferior to mine. You are not worthy to fight me."

The man in the black robe shook his head, licked his lips, and looked at her with a playful glint in his eyes, like a cat Rats.

I don't need to fight you.

Su Zhan roared and suddenly leaped into the air, soaring like an eagle. Then, he fiercely swept his left foot towards the man in black robes.

"Good timing!"

The man in the black robe shouted excitedly, bent over, and raised his hands.

Its two sharp claws resembled the fangs of a wolf.

They snapped shut, trapping Su Zhan's outstretched foot.

"Click--"

The man in black robes let out a strange laugh, twisted Su Zhan's ankle, and then suddenly snapped it.

Su Zhan suddenly felt his foot bone break, the pain was unbearable, and he almost fell.

Before he could catch his breath, the man in black robes slapped Su Zhan's chest again, breaking Su Zhan's ribs with a crack.

He took the opportunity to grab Su Zhan's head and slam it into the floor.

Su Zhan felt like his neck was about to break.

He struggled to stand up.

"Snap!"

The man in black robes broke his spine again, Su Zhan immediately lost the ability to resist, collapsing to the ground paralyzed.

"Good!"

The man in black robes grinned maliciously, picked up Dagger, and stabbed it into Su Zhan's abdomen.

"Flutter--"

Su Zhan groaned and spat out a mouthful of hot blood, his body convulsing uncontrollably.

He laughed in fury, "Despicable scoundrel!"

The man in black robes smiled knowingly, "Despicable? You scum dare to call yourself despicable?"

Su Zhan was furious. "You were the one who attacked first..."

"That's right, I ambushed you."

The man in black robes laughed loudly, "Because I am the son of the devil, I am exceptionally gifted, and my cultivation speed far surpasses that of ordinary people."

Therefore, I am not only skilled in Hidden Weapons, but also proficient in all kinds of Unorthodox Arts.

"I can transform into a bat, control mosquitoes, absorb toxins, and summon skeleton soldiers."

"Moreover, I possess Undying Physique; unless they are among the top experts in the Divine Land, they cannot harm me in the slightest."

"You call me despicable? How naive and foolish!"

He was very pleased with himself.

"I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to be a prisoner. I want to commit suicide!"

Su Zhan roared and punched his head, only to find that his skull was as tough as iron.

He felt despair.

"Don't waste your energy. Even if you die, you won't escape my grasp."

"And I won't let you commit suicide so easily, otherwise how can you enjoy torturing your enemies?"

The man in the black robe chuckled and shone a flashlight on Su Zhan's face.

The bright lights made Su Zhan squint.

Then, the man in the black robe stuffed a flashlight into his mouth.

"Hmm--"

Su Zhan was forced to bite the flashlight, and then the man in black robes cut his index finger with a knife, forcing him to bleed.

Su Zhan knew what the other party was going to do, and shook his head desperately. "Bastard, bastard, I'd rather die than submit."

"Surrender, or die!"

The man in black robes sneered, "You can choose one yourself."

Su Zhan's eyes flashed with hatred, but he still managed to squeeze out a sentence:

"Who exactly are you, and why are you opposing me?"

The man in black robes spoke indifferently:

"I am the Demon God of the Demon God Hall, and also the Twelfth Apostle under the Demon Emperor. My name is Crow."

Su Zhan was taken aback. "Crow? You're Crow?"

The Crow asked calmly, "Do you know me?"

"Of course, Crow is one of the Four Greats apostles of the Demon God Hall, and he's a terrifying fellow."

"However, he is aloof and his whereabouts are unpredictable; I have never met him."

"I never expected him to show up in this poor, remote place like West China, and even hook up with you, you Bastard."

"It seems you two brothers are quite united."

Su Zhan stared at the Crow and sneered, "You two aren't brothers who share the same pair of pants, are you?"

Although he didn't know what the Demon God Hall was, and even less why the Demon God had sent Crow to deal with him, he guessed that they must be closely related.

The Crow smiled sinisterly upon hearing this, "You're right, you're quite an interesting prey."

"If I capture you alive and present you to the Demon God, he will reward me handsomely!"

After saying that, he gripped the Dagger tightly, ready to kill Su Zhan completely.

Su Zhan suddenly shouted and burst out with all his strength, shoving the Crow aside.

Then he pushed off the ground with his right leg, and his whole body shot backward.

Su Zhan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words "Demon God," and he wanted to run away immediately.

He knew what kind of being the Demon God was, and he knew even more about the level of expert the Demon Emperor was.

Even at his fastest speed, he was still a fraction too slow.

The Crow had already anticipated his movements; it turned around and swooped down, catching up with Su Zhan.

He raised his hand and ruthlessly slashed across Su Zhan's waist.

Blood splattered!

Su Zhan groaned and staggered to the ground.

"Ah--"

The Woman in Black screamed, instinctively covering their faces to avoid being horrified by the bloody scene.

Su Zhan, enduring excruciating pain, said, "You beast, if you've got the guts, fight me one-on-one!"

Who do you think you are, to dare challenge me to a one-on-one fight?

The Crow gave a noncommittal snort and slowly walked over, carrying a blood-stained Dagger.

He adopted a cat-and- Rats stance. "Tell me, who exactly are you?"

"Demon God Lord, I am truly an innocent bystander. I was just here for sightseeing when I encountered him."

Su Zhan's lips twitched slightly, but he tried to remain calm. "What you're looking for has nothing to do with me."

He hoped to use his weakness to lower the Crow's guard.

"Heh heh heh, someone like you might fool Ordinary Grade, but you think you can fool me?"

The Crow laughed loudly, "You can even fool the nephews and nieces of the Martial Alliance, how could you possibly fool me?"

"I'll ask you one more time, who exactly are you?"

He brandished his Dagger and threatened, "Or I'll gouge out your eyes and feed them to the dogs."

Su Zhan's breathing quickened. "I really came here for tourism..."

"Whoosh!"

Before he could finish speaking, Crow threw another flying knife.

This time, the Dagger was aimed straight at Su Zhan's eye socket.
