Even if an Undead lifeform lost a few limbs, it would only cause inconvenience in movement, thus, destroying their Soul Fires was the fastest way to fight.
But Undead lifeforms like the Undead Horseman had a certain amount of intelligence and had recovered a part of their memories, so they naturally knew how to protect their Soul Fires.
The Undead Horseman let out a deep roar, and the two phosphorus fires in its eye sockets seemed to have been stimulated by something. They fiercely throbbed, looking like frantically burning flames from a distance. As its head turned towards Lin Yun, the Nightmare suddenly accelerated and turned into a shadow as it charged towards Lin Yun.
The berserk Undead Horseman stomped on the ground, causing the ground within several meters to tremble slightly with every step it took.
Moreover, the Undead Horseman's speed could only be described as terrifying, and the sound of tearing through the air could be heard.
"This, this …"
At this time, Weiss, who was surrounded by the Skeleton Warriors, happened to see this scene. His eyes were wide open, and he was scared to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.
With his eyesight, he could naturally see that the Undead Horseman riding the Nightmare was already at the peak of level 36, comparable to his previous self. Moreover, the distance between the Undead Horseman and the young mage was less than ten meters. It only needed to charge forward and the young mage would be sent flying. Moreover, even a 6th Rank Sword Saint would be seriously injured by such a frightening impact.
As for the fragile body of a mage, there was no need to mention it. Under this kind of impact, he might even be crushed to pieces!
'Fuck!'
Weiss inwardly cursed.
Because he saw that the young mage was just standing there, indifferent, not even casting a defensive spell.
'Sure enough, he's too young …'
Weiss couldn't help sighing inwardly. In his eyes, the young mage wasn't weak, but his fighting experience was pitifully shallow. He was scared silly in this kind of situation.
If he had been at his peak, although he might not have been able to kill the Undead Horseman, he definitely wouldn't have been able to survive.
But the current situation was a bit special. He had been burnt by the Withering Flames and could only display the power of a 5th Rank Archmage. If the young mage was killed by the Undead Horseman, then their team would most likely be destroyed.
Whis could not help but feel resentful towards the young mage.
"Quick, use Fire Elemental Incarnation! Quick, use Fire Elemental Incarnation …" Weiss' back was already drenched in cold sweat. The young mage's only option right now was to use Fire Elemental Incarnation and Flame Flash to escape the Death Knight's attack range. Otherwise, he would die a horrible death.
Unfortunately, it was already too late to warn the young mage …
Because at this time, the Death Knight suddenly dashed forward, and the Nightmare under its crotch almost rammed into the young mage's body. In the next moment, the young mage would become a corpse without any warmth.
Perhaps, it was not complete …
Suddenly, the young mage raised his right hand, revealing a simple and unadorned ring that was flickering with a faint light. Whis saw a pitch-black beam of light suddenly rush out of that ring, bursting out with a terrifying momentum and an extremely evil aura.
"Boom …"
A loud sound echoed as the Death Knight that was about to crash into the young mage was struck by the black beam of light. It let out a miserable roar as it flew back a few dozen meters like a kite with a broken string. Even that Nightmare from Hell was annihilated by that black beam of light.
That scene thoroughly shocked Whis, he couldn't help shivering. The power of that black beam of light was truly terrifying. If he was at his peak, he would have been seriously injured.
Earth Rending Hand!
A profound incantation came out of Lin Yun's mouth, and as he finished casting, a pitch-black palm silently appeared in the air and rapidly smashed into the Undead Horseman.
At this time, a muffled "bang" echoed as the Death Knight that had been seriously injured by the Evil Dragon Gaze was smashed by the huge palm. Its entire body was embedded in the ground, and deep cracks spread all over the Death Knight's body. It was a ghastly sight. The Death Knight let out a blood-curdling scream, and the phosphorescence in its eye sockets burned even more crazily.
"Human, I will definitely make you pay … Ah!" The Undead Horseman didn't even have time to say anything before he was engulfed in a sea of flames. In the center of the flames, the Undead Horseman screamed again and again as sizzling sounds came from his body. In just a few seconds, his white skeleton had been burnt to a pitch-black color.
Undead creatures had an indescribable fear of fire, but now, the Death Knight was trapped in a sea of flames, and even its screams became very weak.
Lin Yun, who was covered in flames, instantly rushed into the sea of flames. Taking advantage of the Undead Horseman's reaction, he raised his hand and cast an Earth Rending Hand. A loud rumble echoed as the Earth Rending Hand shattered the Undead Horseman's skeleton. The phosphorescence in its eye sockets also thoroughly dimmed as the Earth Rending Hand fell.
"Phew …"
Lin Yun inwardly sighed in relief. This level 36 Undead Horseman wasn't easy to handle. Moreover, a High Undead lifeform like the Undead Horseman had already recovered a portion of its memories, all kinds of knowledge, and combat experience. In terms of true strength, even that level 36 Sand Beast in the illusion might not be its opponent.
Moreover, the Death Knight's defensive power was truly shocking, and it wasn't easy to kill it. If not for Lin Yun pouring mana from an Alchemic Mana Whirlpool into the Soul Walker and using the Evil Dragon Gaze to seriously injure the Death Knight, he might have had to spend a lot of effort.
He estimated that this Death Knight called Lagulin had the power of an 8th Rank Sword Saint when he was alive, but after his death, he turned into an undead lifeform, greatly reducing his strength.
8th Rank Sword Saint …
Let alone in the 3rd Dynasty, even in the current Okland, an 8th Rank Sword Saint would have a transcendent status. In terms of strength, they would only be a bit inferior to Joy and Hören.
Lin Yun was certain that Lagulin had been an influential figure in that era, but he had chosen the wrong side and followed that unlucky Baiers, leading him to his current state.
Now that he recalled that period of history, Lin Yun suddenly discovered that everyone related to Baiers had been implicated. The most serious ones were Baiers' descendants. After news of Baiers' disappearance spread, they were immediately ostracized and ultimately banished to some desolate land. Moreover, the 3rd Dynasty didn't recognize Baiers' bloodline as part of the royal family.
When he read about that period of history in the decaying library, Lin Yun was very curious as to what Baiers' descendants had done wrong to receive such a severe punishment.
But now, he understood that Baiers was simply rebellious. He had vainly tried to kill his own father, Emperor Zhantui, to usurp the throne. Not killing his descendants and only banishing them was already very benevolent.
As the eras changed, the 3rd Dynasty headed towards its demise, and the descendants of the royal family that ruled the 3rd Dynasty suffered a calamity. Now, in Noscent, the one with the purest royal bloodline was the one in the Odin Kingdom, and coincidentally, that royal family was Baiers' descendant.
Lin Yun softly crouched down and rummaged through the pile of skulls. Normally, this level 36 Undead Horseman's Soul Fire would turn into an Undead Essence after it was extinguished, and that Undead Essence was even more valuable than a level 36 spirit mana crystal in a certain sense.
A faint light suddenly rose from the pile of broken bones. As if it was being pulled by a force, it rushed out and flew in a certain direction.
Sure enough …
Lin Yun's expression sank. He didn't care about ordinary Undead Essences, but this one was different. This was the Undead Essence left behind by a level 36 Undead after its Soul Fire was extinguished. It wouldn't be excessive to say that it was priceless.
If that mysterious power wanted to snatch it, it would have to ask if he agreed or not.
In an instant, a pitch-black hand made of Mana grabbed the Undead Essence that was flying away firmly in its hand. But that Undead Essence was fiercely attacking, and that berserk power made Lin Yun frown.
'Damnit!'
All of a sudden, the Undead Essence in his hand emitted a scorching heat that almost scorched his palm. He could clearly feel that the energy within the Undead Essence was gradually becoming chaotic. If he didn't let go of it, it was very likely that it would explode …
Thinking about it, the Undead Essence left behind by a level 36 Undead Lifeform's Soul Fire would contain a huge amount of energy. Even a 7th Rank Sword Saint's Aura Defense wouldn't be able to resist the explosion.
'Damnit …'
Lin Yun's expression was extremely gloomy. He took out the Book of Death from his pocket with his other hand and slammed the Undead Essence into the Book of Death.
"If I can't get it, then don't even think about getting it …" At this point, Lin Yun could only give up on that Undead Essence.
Rather than letting it be snatched away by that mysterious power, it would be better for the Book of Death to absorb it.
Just as the Undead Essence fell into the Book of Death, a huge amount of death energy rose up from the Book of Death, and at the same time, that Undead Essence disappeared without a trace.
But Lin Yun discovered that something was wrong.
The Undead Essence had indeed disappeared, but that death energy hadn't been absorbed by the Book of Death. 'What's going on?' Lin Yun couldn't help frowning. He lowered his head and looked at the Book of Death in his hand. Something seemed to have changed in the center, there was a fingernail-sized imprint there.
"Fuck!" Lin Yun was startled on the spot, his heart fiercely throbbing. Although that unremarkable imprint was very dim, he could still see that it was the image of a Death Knight.
