* Hiss *
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. The way the two men died was too miserable. Their bodies were filled with Death Qi. It was obvious that they were attacked by a terrifying dead object. Their hearts were dug out.
"What a cruel method. Both of them were First Grade Combat Emperors, but judging from their expressions, they didn't even have the chance to react before their hearts were dug out." Tyrant said.
Everyone could tell that these two men were rogue cultivators who had just entered the palace. They thought that there must be some precious treasures in the palace, so they barged into it. They didn't expect to meet with such an accident. The blood on the ground hadn't solidified yet. It was obvious that they were killed not long ago. It was highly possible that they were killed before Jiang Chen and the others arrived. However, Jiang Chen and the others didn't hear any movement. In other words, these two men didn't even have the chance to scream before they died.
This was too terrifying. Two First Grade Combat Emperors didn't even have the chance to scream before dying tragically. It showed how powerful the attacker was.
While they were talking, a cold wind drifted. A sharp claw with green hair suddenly appeared from the void. There was no sign of it coming. The speed of the claw was too fast. It appeared at the location of Jiang Chen's heart. The claw was filled with Death Qi, making people's souls feel extremely cold.
"Humph!"
Jiang Chen let out a cold humph. The thing hidden in this palace could kill a First Grade Combat Emperor, but it was too difficult to kill him.
* Clang *
The sharp claw fiercely clawed at the location of Jiang Chen's heart. A sound of iron striking was heard and a lot of sparks were produced. A layer of golden armor appeared on Jiang Chen's chest, blocking the attack of the sharp claw. It was the Firethorn Combat Armor. Jiang Chen's control over the Firethorn Combat Armor had reached a level where he could control it at will. He could control every part of his body with his will.
* Hiss *
When the attack missed, the sharp claw emitted a trace of black Death Qi. The claw retracted, and just as it was about to escape into the void again, Jiang Chen grabbed it with lightning speed. Jiang Chen's palm was covered in dragon markings, turning into an incomparably sharp dragon claw.
The sharp claws that were covered in green fur trembled violently, emitting even more Death Qi. This Death Qi was extremely sinister. If an ordinary person were to come in contact with it, it would be more terrifying than the most poisonous poison in the world. However, when this Death Qi landed on Jiang Chen's body, it was unable to cause any harm to Jiang Chen. The terror of the Dragon Transformation Art was enough to restrain everything in the world.
"Come out!"
Jiang Chen roared and exerted force with his dragon claws, forcibly pulling out the thing that had been hidden in the darkness. The thing that had been pulled out was actually a skeleton. It was unknown how long this skeleton had existed, but it was surrounded by a dense deathly aura. Its body was covered in a layer of green fur, and it gave off a foul stench.
Hafnium!
After the skeleton appeared, its mouth wriggled and let out an extremely unpleasant sound. The sound was like the sound of a saw being pulled. It was extremely unpleasant to the ears. The skeleton opened its mouth wide and lunged at Jiang Chen at an extremely fast speed. Jiang Chen was holding the skeleton in his hand. The skeleton opened its mouth wide and lunged at Jiang Chen with extreme speed.
"Argh …"
Zuo Ling Er was a daughter of a rich family. She had never seen such a ferocious creature before. She immediately screamed in fear. Although she was strong, she was still a child after all. Her mind wasn't mature yet. It was understandable that she would be frightened when she encountered such a terrifying creature.
Jiang Chen's eyes revealed a cold light. This skeleton was at most a Second Grade Combat Emperor. No matter how fast it was or how strong its Death Qi was, Jiang Chen wouldn't put it in his eyes. He broke the skeleton's sharp claws and swung his dragon claws again, crushing the skeleton's skull.
The skeleton struggled for a few moments, then fell to the ground without making any sound.
"Big brother, it's so scary. What is this thing?"
Zuo Ling Er asked.
Everyone's face turned pale. They had never seen such a creature before. This skeleton must have been a human when it was alive, but they didn't know why it could still be so scary after its death. It was beyond their understanding. Even the Impermanence Elder who had lived for a long time had never seen such a ferocious creature.
"This is a dark soul."
Jiang Chen said.
"Dark soul?"
Tyrant asked. Everyone's face was filled with doubt. It was their first time hearing about this kind of dark soul.
"That's right. There are all kinds of strange things in this world. After some people die, for some reason, they still can't let go of the things in this world. They will die with everlasting regret. After such people die, their body will condense a breath of resentment. If there's a specific environment, it may turn into a terrifying dark soul in the future. A creature that only knows how to kill and has no intelligence. It's extremely scary. The dark soul in front of us has existed for a very long time. It knows how to feed on human's heart. Obviously, it has developed intelligence, but its bloodthirsty nature is still there. It will attack anyone it sees. Plus, it exists in this specific environment, it can come and go without a trace.
It's very hard to deal with it. "Jiang Chen said. He had entered the Death Mountain before and had seen the existence of dark souls, but the dark souls at that time weren't as scary as they were now.
"Everyone, be careful. It's possible that there's more than one dark soul here. The two people just now were attacked by two dark souls at the same time. That's why they died instantly."
Jiang Chen reminded everyone.
"For God's sake, where did these evil spirits come from?"
Da Huang Dog couldn't help but ask.
"It's a disciple of that super sect. I don't know what happened to that super sect in the past, but the entire sect died. Many of the disciples and elders inside turned into dark spirits and continued to guard their property. Any outsider who entered the Death Mountain would be treated as an enemy by them and would be killed."
Jiang Chen said.
After listening to Jiang Chen's words, everyone felt more sympathetic towards these dark souls. However, it was a fact that these dark souls were their enemies.
"This palace seems to be a treasure vault. I wonder how many treasures are left inside."
Jiang Chen looked around. The palace was empty, and there was nothing in it. However, there was a staircase in the palace. The staircase was very old, and it was covered with dust. The thickness of the dust had increased the height of the staircase by more than three times.
"Jie jie, there must be good stuff upstairs. Let's go up and have a look."
Da Huang Dog said and strode forward. At this moment, another terrifying sharp claw stretched out from the void and grabbed Da Huang Dog's head.
Bang!
The sharp claw hit the big yellow dog's head. Due to the dog's head being too hard, it did not shatter as expected, but as it was caught off guard, the big yellow dog's enormous body was sent flying away and fell to the ground.
The big yellow dog cursed and rolled around on the ground. Then, it stood up and bared its teeth as it looked around and scolded loudly.
The death aura that the sharp claw left on Da Huang Dog's body didn't affect him at all.
"Be careful. The dark souls here are silent and hidden in the void. We can't sense them at all. It seems that it won't be easy to go upstairs."
Tyrant said with a frown.
"For God's sake, you bunch of dead ghosts. If you have the guts, come out and fight Master Dog one-on-one. I'll bite you to death."
Da Huang Dog was flustered and exasperated. He had always been the one who made others suffer losses. He had never suffered such a big loss before. He was quite unhappy in his heart.
"Da Huang, come back."
Jiang Chen shouted at Da Huang Dog, "All of you stand at the door first. I'll go in after I eliminate all the dark souls inside."
"These dark souls are silent and can't be found. How are you going to eliminate them?"
Han Yan said.
"Dark souls are definitely afraid of fire. They might not be afraid of ordinary fire, but they are definitely afraid of my fire. My fire can make them have nowhere to hide."
Jiang Chen revealed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. He strode toward the interior of the palace. The hidden dark souls seemed to know that this young man in white was not someone to be trifled with. For a moment, they didn't make a move. However, Jiang Chen could feel that the dark souls in the dark were ready to make a move.
* Hong … … *
Suddenly, a flame burst out from Jiang Chen's body. With Jiang Chen as the center, the flame overflowed in all directions, causing the entire palace to be plunged into a sea of fire. Jiang Chen's flame was extremely firm and Yang. One could even vaguely hear the crackling sound of lightning. That was the terrifying True Thunderfire. Jiang Chen had gone through three great tribulations. The True Thunderfire had reached a very terrifying level. Now that the True Thunderfire had fused with the True Dragon Fire, it was the most powerful flame in the world. It was the nemesis of all cold things.
"Brother Jiang's flame is so terrifying. Even I can feel my heart palpitating. His flame has a great restraining effect on our devil Qi."
The Impermanence Elder's face was filled with shock. He had never seen such a terrifying flame before. That kind of firm and Yang aura made the devil Qi in his body circulate abnormally. He couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. Fortunately, the Moyin Cult and Jiang Chen were friends. If they were enemies, the threat would be too great.
"Little Chenzi still has a lot of terrifying tricks up his sleeves. Even if I have Gu Tianmo's bloodline, there's still a huge gap between us," Han Yan said with a smile.
There wasn't the slightest bit of jealousy in his tone. As a brother, the stronger Jiang Chen was, the happier he was for Jiang Chen.
* Chi Chi … *
After Jiang Chen's flame was released, the deathly aura in the palace was directly incinerated. The dark souls in the dark were also affected by the terrifying flame and started to become restless.
Hafnium!
A demon spirit appeared. Although it didn't have eyes, its hollow pupils could still be seen.
At this moment, the flame in front of it was like it had met its greatest nemesis. It wanted to rush forward and kill, but it didn't have the courage to do so.
Jiang Chen didn't give it the chance. He stretched out his True Dragon Palm and grabbed the dark soul into the sea of flame.
Hafnium …
The dark soul was being burned by the flame. It struggled violently. It seemed to be in extreme pain.
"Since you're dead, you can die in peace. I'll relieve your pain."
Jiang Chen's voice was like thunder. The True Dragon Palm exerted force and crushed the dark soul into pieces.
