This is already the area with the highest concentration of demons. Even with the Worgen holding them back, they still have too many enemies to face.
"I'll deal with Tichondrius! Nicholas, Skull of Gul'dan is in that direction, you go get it! Pandaren, you come help me!" Illidan pointed in a certain direction.
Jiang Jie was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Illidan to send him to retrieve Skull of Gul'dan!
Why?
As if anticipating Jiang Jie's question, Illidan snorted coldly and said, "You are too weak!"
Okay, 10,000 points of damage.
Indeed, Tichondrius is very powerful. And without Anveena's help, Jiang Jie is indeed too weak compared to Illidan and Old Chen.
Moreover, at this point, Illidan had not yet seen the Skull of Gul'dan in person, nor had he developed the idea of "taking it" or "absorbing it," so it was normal that he wasn't that interested.
After all, in his view, a divine artifact was definitely not as important as a living First Lord of the Dreadlord!
Illidan charged toward Tichondrius, with Old Chen close behind. He wielded his bamboo staff with incredible speed and precision. The seemingly light bamboo staff could easily knock down Felguard weighing several hundred kilograms, thanks to the infusion of Old Chen's Chi!
Although Old Chen's Martial Arts Master arts level may not surpass Master Shang Xi's, his strength is far superior! Xiao Feng told Shang Xi Jiang Jie that Old Chen's Chi has truly reached the Xiantian Tenth Layer, and there are even signs of liquefaction.
In other words, even by the standards of Chinese martial arts, Old Chen is almost Martial Arts Master, which is remarkable. Jiang Jie doesn't know how long it will take him to reach that level.
Old Chen has a visible layer of Chi on his body, which is the same type as Jiang Jie's Xiantian Gang Qi, only it is more concentrated, more refined, and more powerful.
The reason it's said to be visible to the naked eye is not because Old Chen's Chi has color, but because his Chi protective layer is so strong that it even changes the surrounding air, just like when a fire burns to a certain degree, you can actually see the scalding air above it!
At Old Chen's level, he was no longer limited to ordinary fists, kicks, and sticks. With a casual flick of his bamboo staff, a burst of Chi struck a demon, killing it from several meters away—similar to the effect of Grom wielding the Gorehowl Battle Axe!
So, Old Chen really is a powerhouse on par with Grom!
Illidan and Old Chen slowly disappeared from Jiang Jie's sight. Jiang Jie turned his gaze to another direction, to the northern hillside, where the Skull of Gul'dan was placed on one of the platforms, guarded by a large number of demons.
Upon arriving here, Jiang Jie didn't even need Illidan's guidance; he could sense the presence of Skull of Gul'dan. After becoming Xiantian Warrior, his perception was definitely no less than that of an ordinary Archmage or Holy Light Bishop.
" Skull of Gul'dan, here I come!" Jiang Jie, wielding the divine sword Strom'kar, charged into the oncoming demons.
With a swift stroke of his sword, demons were annihilated by the enraged Shadowflame.
Fenna is the Ashbringer, but he is also one.
The sharp blade sliced through the bodies of demon after demon, the burning flames turning them into charred remains or ashes.
These low-level demons were no longer a concern for Jiang Jie Jiang Jie. Only demons like Felguard and Infernal could slightly hinder his progress, but that was all.
The more powerful Doomguard, Dreadguard, and Shivarra are Jiang Jie's formidable rivals.
Even for the sake of protecting the artifact Skull of Gul'dan, such elite-level high-ranking demons are rare. There are none in Shivarra, only a few Doomguard, and even fewer Dreadguard.
So what if Doomguard?
These demons have bat-like wings similar to those of the Dreadlord, and blood-red skin. They are actually the private soldiers of the Pit Lord. Tichondrius has no authority to command them; these are Doomguard borrowed from Mannoroth, and each one is quite powerful.
How good is it?
An ordinary professional,
We have to be extremely careful and go all out to deal with it! This thing has virtually no spellcasting ability, but it has extremely strong spell resistance and is almost completely immune to magic. Its melee strength is far superior to that of the Dreadlord, and it also has the ability to fly, as well as the cunning and treachery of the Dreadlord. It is much stronger than the Felguard and is really difficult to deal with!
The Doomguard hold a similar position to the Dread Demon and Abyssal Demon within the Burning Legion. Their leader, Doomlord Kaz'rogal, is not much less powerful than Mannoroth or Tichondrius. Another leader, Doom Lord Kazzak, is capable of single-handedly Devastation Stormwind City and holds a significant position within the Burning Legion, making him one of the highest-ranking Burning Legion in this invasion, second only to Archimonde.
Of course, Jiang Jie still hasn't heard any news from Kazzak, nor does he know if he has come to the Kalimdor.
The Doomguard is so difficult to deal with that it's practically impossible for any mage below the Archmage level to defeat it, but it's nothing special in front of Jiang Jie!
Let's not compare magic, let's compare pure physical damage output, who's afraid of who!
Jiang Jie's agility as a martial artist/thief/hunter is exceptional; the Doomguard simply couldn't harm him. And against the divine sword Strom'kar, neither Mannoroth nor Kaz'rogal could escape unscathed, let alone an ordinary Doomguard.
With a sizzling sound of blood spurting out, Strom'kar decapitated a Doomguard, Shadowflame instantly evaporated the blood on the blade.
kill without spilling blood!
The most terrifying enemy Jiang Jie will face is actually Satyr.
Jadefire Satyr!
The Jadefire Satyr, who were defeated by the Worgen and the Fenris People's Army, still number in the hundreds or thousands. Now, a portion of them have gathered here, numbering in the hundreds.
Faced with so many enemies, Jiang Jie was also having a headache.
These demons, transformed from Night Elf, possess the same agility and speed as Night Elf, but also have Nightmare abilities that Night Elf lack.
They can enter a person's dream and kill them silently, causing them to die without their knowledge.
Of course, people with strong minds and unwavering wills can resist or even become immune to this Nightmare, but the more terrifying Jadefire Lord possesses an even more terrifying Nightmare power.
Jiang Jie has already seen the Jadefire Lord!
It was a creature covered in thick hair, with two thin, sharp horns on its head and a green tail behind it!
He stood atop the hillside, personally guarding the Skull of Gul'dan. Jiang Jie saw the emerald green flames that occasionally emanated from his body; those were Fel Flame. The power of the Jadefire Lord was probably more terrifying than many people imagined!
Jiang Jie had already seen the Jadefire Lord staring at him, felt the mental attack, and even saw illusions appearing before his eyes!
However, Jiang Jie's mental will was extremely firm, and he was not in a dream state. He simply let out a cold snort, stepped out of the illusion, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
" Warbreaker!"
Jiang Jie held the divine sword upside down, piercing through the rock. The power of shadow poured into the ground, then guided more Shadow energy to break through the soil, forming thick, Corruption Thorns, with flames that could scorch everything!
This place is too close to the Skull of Gul'dan Skull of Gul'dan, and is the most deeply corrupted by it. The rocks and soil are filled with unimaginable evil and Shadow energy. You should know that Warlock also use shadow magic, and Gul'dan was the true king of Warlock!
This place contains too much Shadow energy, and this Shadow energy is being used by Jiang Jie, or rather, by the divine sword Strom'kar.
After all, Strom'kar had absorbed nearly three thousand years of Zakajz energy and been imbued with nearly three thousand years of Blood of Zakajz, possessing a portion of Zakajz's power. And Zakajz, as one of the most powerful servants of the Old Gods, was almost on par with Archimonde, far beyond Gul'dan's reach!
It can be said that the more intense the Shadow energy, the more powerful the divine sword Strom'kar becomes, and the more powerful Jiang Jie becomes.
Soon, Jiang Jie encountered even more enemies.
Warlock!
Among these Warlock were Orc Warlock and human Warlock.
This is Warlock from the Shadow Council!
Orcs, the first Warlock of Gul'dan orcs and a student of Ner'zhul, founded the Shadow Council, a dark organization mainly composed of Warlock, under the orders of Kil'jaeden.
This organization was very active in the First and Second War, but with the defeat of the ancient Horde, many Warlock returned to Outland, while many Warlock went into hiding. Some of them came to Kalimdor to escape the pursuit of the Alliance of Men.
Later, many people of other races came into contact with demonic power, shadow power, or other powers and embarked on the path of Warlock.
Warlock gain power much faster than mages, so in a very short time, many powerful Warlock emerged, some even approaching Legendary status.
After Archimonde led the Burning Legion to this land, these Warlock were summoned and gathered under Tichondrius's command, obeying his orders.
These Warlock had always coveted the immense power within Skull of Gul'dan, but firstly, they lacked the ability to manipulate or absorb it, and secondly, they dared not do such a thing under Tichondrius's nose.
Now facing Jiang Jie and his group who have launched an attack, these Warlock are attacking frantically. One spell after another lands on Jiang Jie, and one demon contractor after another is summoned. Jiang Jie has met his match.
A Warlock stood beside the Jadefire Lord, but they were not the strongest Keeper of Skull of Gul'dan, because Jiang Jie also saw a winged creature.
It's the Dreadlord!
This is the strongest enemy Jiang Jie will face—a terrifying Legendary power!
The four minor Elemental Spirits accompanied Jiang Jie Jiang Jie, almost as if Thrall himself was protecting him. No matter how many demons there were, it was difficult for them to get close to Jiang Jie.
