At this moment, from the deep pit created by Li Changfeng, a wisp of black energy emerged, transforming into a blur. The blur, filled with resentment, flew away into the distance.
Despair Valley.
Inside the main hall, the three people in charge sat silently in their chairs, their faces grave. A profound silence fell.
Old Ghost couldn't hold back any longer and spoke first, "According to the information from the remnant soul of an outer sect elder of my Ghost King Sect, the one who killed him was a top-tier genius disciple of Shaolin!"
The old demon sighed and said, "There has been no news from anyone from my Demon God Sect until now. It seems that their fate is probably grim!"
The old corpse said cautiously, "There's nothing happening on my end yet. I heard that your Ghost King Sect captured an Emei disciple. Have you brought him back?"
Old Ghost frowned. "We did capture an Emei woman, but I don't know what she's up to. She hasn't returned yet, so we can't get any information about her!"
The old corpse slowly said, "If they want to pass the final checkpoint, they must pass through the Corpse Land Swamp!"
The old demon nodded. "This method is indeed excellent! Have you encountered any problems in the other three directions?"
Old Ghost sighed, "No problem! It's just too peaceful, that's the real problem!"
The old corpse said solemnly, "It seems that the other three directions are the troublesome ones. Let's send more grandmaster-level experts to take a look!"
The old demon sighed helplessly, "Alas! What's meant to be will be! Let fate decide!"
At this moment, Li Changfeng and the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger passed through the passage and rushed forward. Suddenly, a black figure carrying Yu Ziqian rushed desperately in one direction.
Upon seeing this, Li Changfeng and the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger immediately gave chase, shouting, "Damn it! Don't you dare run away!"
The black-clad figure sneered, "Come and chase me if you dare!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's face darkened. "Hall Master of Subduing Tiger! I feel something is amiss. I think that kid is trying to lure us into a trap!"
Upon hearing this, the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger said coldly, "Even if it's a mountain of knives, we'll go! If he takes us back to the Despair Valley, then our secret will be exposed!"
The figure in black was overjoyed to see the two of them following him. He quickly walked to the man in gray and laughed, "Hahaha! Brother Wu! It seems our plan has succeeded!"
The man in gray chuckled, "Even a grandmaster-level expert can be trapped and die here once we enter this swamp. We've done a great service this time!"
Li Changfeng and the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger rushed into the swamp. The swamp was filled with extremely yin energy and a foul stench of rotting corpses. Greenish-black bubbles rose from the surface of the swamp, faintly emanating a fierce and domineering aura.
"Hahaha! You've chosen the path to hell when there's a way to heaven. Is it worth sacrificing two lives for a woman?"
Li Changfeng's face was grim. "It's still uncertain who will die at whose hands!"
"Heh heh heh! Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin! Brother Wu! Activate the Corpse Severing Array!"
Upon hearing this, the gray-clad man suddenly unleashed a burst of true energy, igniting the great formation. The entire swamp suddenly erupted, and hordes of ferocious zombies burst forth from within, each letting out a furious roar.
They suddenly charged towards Li Changfeng and his group, including ten Corpse Kings, each with strength very close to that of a grandmaster, their power terrifying!
The leader of the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger, his face grim, said solemnly, "Leave the zombies here to me! You go and kill those two!"
Li Changfeng nodded, then suddenly rushed forward, unleashing his Vajra Leg of Immense Power, leaping into the air and stomping fiercely on the head of a zombie. A cracking sound rang out as Li Changfeng's powerful and domineering leg force stomped the zombie's head into its chest.
He suddenly used the momentum to charge at the two men, only to see the gray-clad man sneer, "Foolish! You think I'd let you come over so easily?"
Suddenly, dozens of zombies rushed out of the swamp and charged violently toward Li Changfeng. They opened their hideous mouths and lunged at him. A foul stench hit him, and Li Changfeng frowned slightly when he smelled it. The situation was extremely dangerous!
Li Changfeng unleashed his full power of true energy, using the second move of the [Vajra Leg of Immense Power], "Vajra Whirlwind Leg." A chilling aura of true energy condensed in his legs, violently striking out a series of leg shadows that transformed into domineering whirlwinds of true energy.
His leg strength was swift and domineering, like a whirlwind suddenly blowing by with astonishing power, as he frantically attacked the dozen or so zombies surrounding him!
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...
A series of loud, muffled thuds rang out as Li Changfeng kicked the dozen or so zombies away like hard sandbags. Their bones seemed to shatter from the force of his powerful kicks, and a patch of dark green blood appeared in the sky.
A dozen or so zombies crashed into the swamp, splashing up a cloud of foul-smelling, disgusting mud. Then, Li Changfeng used the momentum to perform a backflip in mid-air, gracefully retreating backward, seemingly about to fall into the swamp!
Upon seeing this, the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger shouted, "Jue Kong, be careful! That swamp is poisonous! Don't fall in!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng was immediately startled and quickly used the first move of the [Vajra Palm of Immense Strength], "Vajra Arrival." A faint golden true energy slowly condensed around him, and a phantom of a Vajra appeared behind him.
With a violent outstretched palm, the Vajra phantom behind him also unleashed a palm strike, its domineering, fierce, and indestructible force striking the swamp and propelling him forward once more!
"Bang"!
The incredibly powerful palm strike landed on the swamp, producing a loud, low-pitched boom that sent up a cloud of foul-smelling mud that splattered all over the zombies.
To everyone's astonishment, the group of zombies, who had been severely injured by the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger, were covered in this mud and their injuries were visibly healing!
"What?!" Li Changfeng exclaimed in surprise as he witnessed this scene.
Upon seeing this, the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger's face darkened, and he thought to himself, "It seems that these are all the tricks they have left. Then I won't hold back!"
Suddenly, the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger unleashed his true energy, and an astonishing aura of Grandmaster forced the ten Corpse Kings to retreat. He then used the second move of the Mahayana Great Vehicle Vajra Palm, "Vajra Sunset." A burst of scorching red true energy erupted from the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger, frantically condensing in his palms.
It condensed into a scorching sphere of true energy, as hot as the sun, which heated up the entire swamp and caused bubbles to rise. The corpse energy dissipated considerably, and it suddenly charged towards the ten Corpse Kings!
"Boom!"
A violent explosion rang out as the ten Corpse Kings were blasted apart by the extremely hot palm strike of the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger, turning into streams of blackish-green blood. Limbs and remains were scattered everywhere, and were further evaporated by a powerful burst of scorching true energy, making the power extremely terrifying.
