Ying Gous eyes shone with a dark red light. When he saw Lu Zhou hovering nearby, it bared its fangs before spitting out, Human!

The four thick chains began to shake as Ying Gou pounced at Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou released a dazzling and huge palm seal.

Boom!

The palm seal collided with Ying Gou like fireworks.

The dazzling palm seal attracted everyones attention from above. They looked at it with eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with admiration.

Lu Zhou began to ascend as the chains on both sides snaked toward him. The palm seal was just a test. He did not expect to kill Ying Gou with just a move. After flying out of the chains range, he looked down at Ying Gou. As expected, Ying Gou was not injured at all. Ying Gous armor seemed to be forged from special metal and seemed even more indestructible than the chains.

Ying Gou, hand over the White Tiger Coiling Dragon Jade, and I wont make things difficult for you, Lu Zhou said.

Qin Renyue.

Brother, this is Ying Gou; hes not a human. Is there a need for this?

Meanwhile, the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion remained unfazed. They had weathered many storms with Lu Zhou so they had somewhat gotten used to it.

Ying Gou glared at Lu Zhou with his dark red eyes and snarled, Let me go! Let me go!

Upon seeing this, Mings.h.i.+ Yin asked skeptically, Hey, didnt you say the living dead are without souls and will?

Ji s.h.i.+ said, slightly uncertain, This should just be instinctual words. He shouldnt be capable of complicated thought processes or have the ability to discern. This makes him even more dangerous. I advise all of you to stop. Let the late Emperor Emeritus rest in peace. Ying Gou has been restrained for the time being so we still have a chance to leave.

Tang Zibing shook his head and sighed. Hes undead; he cant be killed

It was a very displeasing matter for someone to undermine ones team by raising the enemys prestige.

Mings.h.i.+ Yin said mockingly, Since there is an old immortal monster guarding the tomb, whats the need for the few of you?

The four elders looked embarra.s.sed.

Every year, the royal family will come to pay their respects to the ancestors. In many peoples eyes, Ying Gou is just a myth. Hence, they would appoint guards to protect the tomb and accompany the ancestors, Tang Zibing finally said.

Foolish beyond belief, Lu Zhou said. If this were to happen on modern-day earth, it would definitely start trending on the Internet. It would be labeled as superst.i.tion.

Thats right! Fools! Little Yuaner echoed her masters sentiments.

The four elders of Mount Li were speechless. Naturally, they also knew the tradition was foolish. The dead were gone; what need was there for the living to accompany the dead?

What I didnt expect is that the monk, Jian Zhen, was also roped into it, Qin Renyue said as he shook his head.

Clank!

The chains shook again.

Ying Gou roared like a ferocious beast. His roar resounded through the sky and land.

Yan Zhenluo tried to maintain the light, but due to nervousness, he accidentally extinguished the light.

Upon seeing this, Yu Shangrong volunteered, Ill do it.

Swoos.h.!.+

The Longevity Sword unsheathed itself and flew toward the wooden bridge.

Bang!

The Longevity Sword stabbed into the wooden bridge before it exploded with a light that was much brighter than the talismans. The red inscriptions played a huge part in the brightness of the light. Moreover, the sword had also stored up a lot of energy.

With Yu Shangrongs perfect control, as long as it was not too far, he would be able to maintain the light at all times.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Ying Gou rushed up, but before he could reach the top, he firmly pulled back by the four chains.

Lu Zhou moved to stand in front of Ying Gou. He looked at the White Tiger Dragon Jade that was firmly affixed on Ying Gous armor. Then, he brought out Unnamed in the form of a sword and controlled it with two fingers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Unnamed circled Ying Gou before landing three consecutive strikes. Sparks flew everywhere.

Lu Zhou was slightly surprised when he saw the armor was intact.

The armor is truly extraordinary, Qin Renyue said with a hint of admiration.

After being struck thrice, Ying Gou was enraged. Alas, he could free himself from the chains.

At this time, Qin Renyue called out, 49 swordsmen!

Understood!

The 49 swordsmen flew up and formed a seven-point formation in the air. Then, energy swords fell like torrential rain on Ying Gou.

Ying Gou could not fight back and could only be a target.

Mings.h.i.+ Yin smiled. This method is a little shameless, but I like it.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The storm-like energy swords continued to fall on Ying Gou. However, they were all blocked by Ying Gous armor. In fact, even without the armor, Ying Gous body was indestructible.

After the first wave of attack, the 49 swordsmen stopped and waited for further instructions from Qin Renyue.

Qin Renyue and Lu Zhou continued to observe Ying Gou.

This wave of attacks further enraged Ying Gou. He let out a long cry, and when he stopped, a strange sound rang from the bottom of the abyss.

Ying Gou glared at Lu Zhou, the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion, and the 49 swordsmen with an expression that clearly showed he wanted nothing more than to rip all of them into shreds.

Monsters! The monsters are approaching!

What are those things?

Under the illumination of the Longevity Sword, everyone saw countless skinny creatures that resembled monkeys climbing up from the abyss.

They look like monkeys

I dont recognize them. Be careful, everyone.

When the monsters reached a certain height, they all leaped up toward the crowd.

Qin Renyue pushed his hand out.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dozens of monsters were killed in just a blink of an eye.

Theyre not very strong

The 49 swordsmen flew to both sides, switching targets. They brought out their swords and started slaying the monsters.

Meanwhile, the four elders of Mount Lu felt a mounting sense of unease.

Cui Mingguang hurriedly said, Please stop! If you provoke the late Emperor Emeritus and the dead, youll be punished by the heavens!

The energy swords rained down unceasingly on the monsters. However, the monsters kept coming as though there was no end to them.

After a short while, Lu Zhou discovered the monsters would be resurrected after getting cut down.

Stop, Lu Zhou called out.

Everyone stopped.

Lu Zhou brought an ordinary Deadly Strike Card to test the water. As expected

Ding! Ineffective against the target.

After putting away the ordinary Deadly Strike Card, Lu Zhou said, The monsters can resurrect themselves. Energy swords wont be able to kill them.

Everyone observed carefully and found that it was true. They could not help but inhale sharply. No matter how many monsters they killed, the monsters would always get back up.

What kind of monster is this?

We cant kill it? How strange

Ying Gou roared thunderously again.

More and more monsters climbed up.

Karmic fire. Karmic fire might be able to kill them, Qin Renyue said.

Lu Zhou launched a palm seal. When it shot out, it began to burn with fire.

The karmic fire swiftly engulfed the monsters, burning them.

Those who possess karmic fire have high innate talent and apt.i.tude. Their achievements in the future will definitely be extraordinary, Qin Renyue said with a hint of envy.

Lu Zhou flew up into the air before a golden lotus bloomed under his feet, casting the Flaming Golden Lotus, his first Birth Trial ability.

Small flaming lotuses shot out, filling the air in just an instant. They mercilessly burned the monsters down.

Heart-wrenching cries rang from the sea of fire.

Karmic fire

The four elders of Mount Li wore complex expressions on their faces.

At this moment, Little Yuaner raised her hand. When a small flame appeared in her hand, she said, I have karmic fire as well!

Little Yuaner spun around and tossed the flame at the monster nearby. When she saw the karmic fire burning the monster, she clapped happily as she asked, Did you see that?

Qin Renyue and the 49 swordsmen.

Those who possess karmic fire are very rare. Only one in 10,000 green lotus cultivators possesses the karmic fire. I didnt expect Qin Renyue trailed off.

At this moment, a monster pounced on Yu Zhenghai, and he brandished his saber before summoning his karmic fire around the saber.

Qin Renyue.

Qin Renyue rubbed his eyes, wondering if his eyes were playing tricks on him. After all, the golden lotus could be easily mistaken to be burning. However, even he knew how flimsy that excuse was. After all, as a Venerable Master, his judgment was accurate and his senses were keen. There was no doubt it was karmic fire.

With the karmic fire burning rampantly, the mausoleum was as bright as day.

Ying Gou was further infuriated.

The number of monsters was extremely terrifying. Even with Lu Zhous first Birth Trial ability, their number did not seem to decrease at all.

At this moment, Yu Shangrong unsheathed his Longevity Sword before unleas.h.i.+ng countless energy swords in the air. Each of the energy swords burned with karmic fire. They shot down, reaping the monsters lives.

Qin Renyue.

Karmic fire? Is there justice in this world? What happened to the law of balance?

Ji s.h.i.+, one of the four elders of Mount Li, said, I didnt expect so many people to possess the karmic fire

Is karmic fire very rare? Little Yuaner asked curiously.

Of course, its rare. Didnt you hear Venerable Master Qin say its rare? Ji s.h.i.+ said.

Oh, I thought everyone had it, Little Yuaner replied.

Ji s.h.i.+ felt as though he had been dealt a critical blow and lost the mood to speak.

At this time, Zhou Chongshu said, This isnt enough. The monsters keep coming. We need to get to the source of it

Zhou Chongshu was about to suggest karmic fire and sound technique when Conchs fingers began plucking the Nine String Zither.

The Pilgrim Song was like the surging waves of the sea, sweeping out in all directions along with karmic fire.

The sky that was burning with fire was very beautiful.

Lu Zhou no longer attacked. These monsters were not difficult to deal with. Since his disciples had made a move, he would conserve his strength.

Unbeknownst to Lu Zhou, Conchs attack had rendered Qin Renyue speechless again. He felt like retracting his statement about one in 10,000 green lotus cultivators possessing karmic fire, but considering his status as a Venerable Master, he swallowed his explanation down his throat. He was also wondering when did karmic fire become so easily obtainable.

The advantage of sound technique was that it had a wide reach.

Conchs Pilgrim Song contained the Confucian schools might Expansive Heavenly Energy. Not only did the song kill the enemies, but it also drove away the fear in the hearts of allies who heard it. Moreover, it also roused ones fighting spirit.

After Zhao Yu recovered from his shock, he turned around, intending to comfort Mings.h.i.+ Yin due to his lack of karmic fire.

However, Zhao Yu saw Mings.h.i.+ Yin putting away the Separation Hook that was burning with karmic fire and said, Since my junior sisters have made a move, Ill just stand aside

About 15 minutes later, the monsters were finally reduced to ashes.

The commotion from the battle finally died down.

Ying Gou continued to struggle against the chains angrily.

Lu Zhou looked at Ying Gou who was suspended midair before he brought Unnamed in the form of a sword out again. This time, he imbued it with the divine power before stabbing at Ying Gou.

Bang!

With this strike, Ying Gou stopped roaring, and his expression froze. Then, he rose to the top, pulling the chains up until the chains were taut.

Lu Zhou hovered nearby, observing Ying Gou.

It was as silent as a graveyard at this moment.

A stifling pressure began to spread at this moment.

Prepare to retreat, Qin Renyue said.

Everyone, retreat, Yu Zhenghai ordered.

The 49 swordsmen and the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion retreated.

A great battle was about to break out.

Everyone knew from the beginning that the chains would not be able to restrain Ying Gou for long. It was best to seize the chance to retreat while Ying Gou was gathering his strength.

The four elders of Mount Li shook their heads.

Ji s.h.i.+ said, I told you so

No one paid any attention to the four elders of Mount Li.

Yinggous eyes were fixed on Lu Zhou. He was like a statue, unmoving.

Lu Zhou studied the four chains. They would not last as long as he thought they would. If he fought Ying Gou, he could not use the Deadly Strike Card. What should he do? Thunderblast Card? At the critical moment, he could only rely on his luck. Perhaps, he would be able to trigger the Kill effect.

Meanwhile, Qin Renyue and the others had retreated to the distance. He was not worried about Lu Zhou. He would observe the situation and lend a hand when necessary.

Lu Zhous imposing manner did not decrease the slightest despite the thoughts in his mind. He said in a majestic tone, Hand over the White Tiger Dragon Jade, and Ill spare your life

Qin Renyue could tell things were not looking good so he turned back and said, Retreat again!

Everyone flew back. Their eyes were focused on Ying Gou who seemed to be on the brink of exploding with power. Then, they watched as Ying Gou made a move that was completely out of her expectations.

Ying Gous eyes suddenly widened, and his head shrank back. Then, he hastily yanked the White Tiger Dragon Jade off his armor and tossed it over. Following that, he sank back down into the abyss, as deep as the chains allowed him to.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

In fact, Lu Zhou was also dumbfounded.

The four elders of Mount Li.

Lu Zhou looked at the White Tiger Coiling Dragon Jade in his hand with a frown. He could not figure out what happened.

Yan Zhenluo scratched his head and broke the silence first. He asked, Whats going on?

Ying Gou seems frightened? Lu Li could not believe his eyes.

n.o.body could believe it.

I dont understand. Ying Gou is scared? Ji s.h.i.+s eyelids kept twitching. He felt a burning pain on his cheek as if someone had given him a hard slap.

Everyone flew over. Since Ying Gou did not resist and even tossed the White Tiger Dragon Jade to Lu Zhou, it should be safe now.

Without a soul, how could he be frightened? Hows that possible? Ji s.h.i.+ kept muttering to himself.

Lu Zhou tossed the White Tiger Dragon Jade.

Qin Renyue tacitly caught it in his hands.

Then, he descended into the abyss again to confirm the thoughts in his mind. When he drew close, Ying Gou trembled and shrank back with all his might.

The chains clanked loudly as Ying Gou trembled.

After a moment, Ying Gou timidly raised his head and looked up at Lu Zhou who was hovering in the air with the sky as his background. In his eyes, Lu Zhou looked like the Unholy One, a supreme demon.

Lu Zhou mobilized the blue avatar in his Dantians sea of Qi and imbued his body with a little divine power.

As soon as Lu Zhous body began to glow with a golden light, Ying Gous eyes widened in fear.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Ying Gou struggled, trying to retreat but was unfortunately restrained by the chains. In front of the Unholy One, he felt very small, like a grain of sand in the vast universe. It let out a cry of fear as it struggled to run away.

Ying Gous fear and desire to escape baffled everyone.
