Inside the dark coffin, a faint shadow slowly appeared.
The shadow was sleeping at first, but it slowly moved to a sitting position. The lid of the coffin was not open, but it could not stop the shadow from getting up or standing up.
The whole place was dead silent. Everyone watched as the figure climbed out of the coffin and floated in the air. It was very strange.
"This … It's really Elder Wu Ang."
Someone muttered.
This was Elder Wu Ang's soul. Qiao Rui had temporarily awakened it through Soul Backtracking.
"Elder Wu, can you hear me? If you can, circle around me three times, "Qiao Rui said.
Elder Wu Ang's soul was slightly dazed as it circled around Qiao Rui. After one round, he seemed to be more awake, and he spun two more rounds at an even faster speed.
Qiao Rui ignored the shocked eyes of the others and said lightly, "Five days ago, you were killed in the Changxi City Inn. Was the murderer Bai Wen, the Blood God Palace's Chief Steward? "
Elder Wu Ang's soul did not respond.
It was Qiao Rui's first time summoning a soul, so he did not have much experience. She thought for a moment and said, "If it's not Bai Wen, circle around."
Under everyone's gaze, Elder Wu Ang's soul circled around.
Seeing this unnatural scene, Zuo Yunxuan's hair stood on end. He took half a step back and shouted, "Nonsense!"
His voice seemed to have attracted the attention of Elder Wu Ang's soul. The soul floating in the air obviously moved sideways.
Then, Elder Wu Ang's soul let out a scream and suddenly pounced on Zuo Yunxuan! For a moment, a cold wind blew and a gray fog blew. Everyone was so shocked that their faces turned pale.
However, the soul summoned by Qiao Rui's Soul Backtracking did not have the ability to fight.
Elder Wu Ang's remnant soul circled around Zuo Yunxuan and made all kinds of scratching and biting movements. However, it was like an illusion, unable to hurt Zuo Yunxuan in the slightest.
Qiao Rui sighed, "Now everyone can see the truth. Zuo Yunxuan had killed his fellow disciples to cover up his crime! Elder Wu, we don't have much time left. Please go to the afterlife. "
Wu Ang's remnant soul turned a deaf ear to him and continued to tear at Zuo Yunxuan.
Bai Xiaowen said in a clear voice, "Don't worry, Elder Wu. Like you, I have a blood feud with Zuo Yunxuan. I will kill Zuo Yunxuan and avenge you. "
Wu Ang's remnant soul was still unwilling to give up. However, Qiao Rui's soul had a limited time of backtracking. In the end, he slowly dissipated into the air.
The deathly stillness that lingered in the air didn't dissipate for a long time.
The disciples of the Blood God Palace were the first to shout, "What a good thief calling a thief. It was clearly Zuo Yunxuan who killed the disciple, but he blamed it on the White Commander."
"Zuo Yunxuan, that old bastard, is a hypocrite."
"The so-called righteous Wulin is a group of hypocrites!"
Perhaps it was the last sentence that caused the righteous Wulin to be dissatisfied. Immediately, someone defended Zuo Yunxuan.
"Nonsense, Master Zuo is not such a person."
"That's right. This maid is Bai Wen's woman. She used some kind of soul summoning technique. It might be a smokescreen. It's not credible."
"The villains of the evil Wulin will do anything to tarnish the reputation of the righteous Wulin."
Zuo Yunxuan took a deep breath and said sternly, "Bai Wen! Justice is in everyone's heart. I don't need to argue with you. "
Bai Xiaowen sighed, "The ability of the righteous Wulin to deceive themselves is really amazing. Two witnesses can't let you see the truth. Fortunately, there is one more piece of evidence … "
Zuo Yunxuan knew that he couldn't follow Bai Xiaowen's rhythm. He said sternly, "Little bastard, you're talking nonsense and insulting my reputation. Take this! "He suddenly jumped and pounced on Bai Xiaowen like a gust of wind.
The people of the Blood God Palace hissed.
Bai Xiaowen laughed, "Alright! We'll talk about the fourth battle after the battle. "He was actually not in a hurry. He waved his hand and summoned the Butcher to block in front of him.
The Dark Concubine's eyes flashed slightly. After hearing Bai Xiaowen's words, she didn't make a move.
Zuo Yunxuan's heart was slightly relieved, but he couldn't figure it out. Why didn't the Dark Concubine let Bai Xiaowen finish talking about the evidence? Could it be that there was no evidence and this kid was messing with his mind?
As a smart person, Zuo Yunxuan's mind turned a lot of thoughts in an instant. In the end, he stopped abruptly, "No, no matter if there is evidence or not, as long as I kill this kid, I can eliminate the hidden danger." As he thought of this, his heart was filled with killing intent.
There was a need to clarify that the so-called one-on-one battle didn't prohibit summoning creatures. Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures were equivalent to the Secret Corpse Controlling Technique. It was within the scope of the rules.
The Butcher took a big step forward, his body flickering with a layer of dark golden flowing light. He swung his scepter.
Five days ago, Zuo Yunxuan had killed the Butcher with a single strike. He had also beaten Bai Xiaowen and the others until they were battered and exhausted. At this time, he had an absolute psychological advantage. He sneered, "You think this kind of corpse monster is worthy of being humiliated?"
He turned his body again and used the Imperial Wind Absolute Qinggong. Zuo Yunxuan dodged the Butcher's scepter like a wisp of smoke. He circled to the side and stabbed out with his sword.
However, the Butcher's body was covered in purple mist. He had used the Decay skill.
The reason why the Butcher was killed in one strike that day was not only because Zuo Yunxuan's attack power was extremely high, but also because the Butcher didn't use the Decay skill in time.
Now that Zuo Yunxuan was affected by the Decay skill, the damage he could deal to the Butcher dropped by a lot. He didn't know why, but the Butcher's agility had increased, allowing him to dodge the attack.
Zuo Yunxuan's sword pierced half a foot into the Butcher's body. He felt like he was stabbing into rawhide, and it was difficult to exert any strength. A rotten smell filled the air, and he felt his blood flow become sluggish. Knowing that there was poison, he quickly used the Imperial Wind Absolute Qinggong to retreat.
As he retreated, Zuo Yunxuan felt that something was wrong. His Qinggong seemed to have become sluggish.
"This monster's poison is really something. But it's far from enough to stop me! "
Zuo Yunxuan's body swayed, and with the infusion of his True Qi, he flew through the air like a big bird. He flew past the Butcher and went straight for Bai Xiaowen. A long sword whistled through the air. He had thought it through. As long as he was out of the poison's range, he would be immune to its effects.
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand and summoned an army of creatures. At the same time, he tore open a scroll with his right hand.
In a split second, the wind howled and sand flew everywhere. The rolling yellow sand almost blocked Zuo Yunxuan's vision. He suddenly realized that the speed of his Qinggong, which he was so proud of, had decreased by half.
S-Grade Item: Sandstorm Scroll! Summons a large-scale sandstorm, reducing the movement speed of enemies within a radius of 740 meters by 50% and causing them to suffer continuous mixed damage.
If there was a flaw, it would be that the scroll required continuous casting. Bai Xiaowen could not move or attack while it was being cast.
The Butcher took a big step forward and swung his giant snake scepter again.
Zuo Yunxuan, whose speed had been reduced by half by the Sandstorm Scroll, wanted to use his Qinggong to escape, but he was slowed down by the Rotting Scroll and the Sandstorm Scroll. He could not escape from the Butcher's close combat range.
The Skeleton Warriors and Wrath Claw rushed over and surrounded Zuo Yunxuan with the help of a few Skeleton Shield Bearers.
Zuo Yunxuan dodged the attacks of the summoned creatures, but he could not dodge the Butcher's next attack. He could only raise his sword to parry. With a clang, Zuo Yunxuan's body shook slightly.
"Strange, this giant zombie's strength … seems to have increased by a lot! Whether it's strength or speed, it's much better than it was five days ago! "
Zuo Yunxuan suffered a certain amount of recoil damage, but he was skilled in swordsmanship after all. He used the essence of the Infinite Sword Technique and slashed the Butcher's fingers horizontally.
His movement speed was reduced, but Zuo Yunxuan's terrifying 104 points of Agility were not reduced! Not only was the Butcher unable to react in time, even the manipulator, Bai Xiaowen, could not dodge in time.
However, Bai Xiaowen's tactic was not to dodge!
The Butcher did not make any useless dodging movements. The Skeleton Warriors at the side raised their swords and slashed fiercely. The Wrath Claw also used its Rend skill. If Zuo Yunxuan did not change his tactic, he would have to suffer damage from the other summoned creatures.
Zuo Yunxuan had no choice but to withdraw his sword. With a swoosh, he circled his body and drew a beautiful sword arc to protect himself. He then kicked the Butcher in the stomach.
This kick should have sent the Butcher flying, but the Butcher, whose strength had increased greatly, took the kick without hesitation. Its huge body only shook slightly.
Zuo Yunxuan's pupils contracted slightly. This was not what he expected! Not only did the Butcher's Strength (Strength) and Agility (Agility) soared, even his Resistance (Physique) increased greatly!
There was only a fine line between experts. Zuo Yunxuan miscalculated his kick and was immediately bitten by the Wrath Claw. A piece of cloth was torn from his back, and blood seeped out slightly.
Although the injury was not serious, Zuo Yunxuan was both shocked and angry. He thought highly of himself, and it was humiliating to be hurt by the young man, Bai Xiaowen.
With a long whistle, Zuo Yunxuan activated Requiem Howl. Except for the Butcher, all the summoned creatures within range were stunned on the spot!
"This monster … can withstand my Howl?" Zuo Yunxuan took advantage of the situation to charge forward, but was stopped by the Butcher again. He was shocked.
Little did he know that Bai Xiaowen's heart was bleeding at the same time!
In order to strengthen the Butcher as much as possible, Bai Xiaowen fed the Butcher an extremely precious item.
That's right … It was the Dark Gold item dropped by Absalon — War Overlord's Charge!
The Butcher's special skill, Devour, allowed him to devour different types of items to strengthen himself. Devouring equipment was the most useful skill to increase all attributes.
Bai Xiaowen had experimented and found that Gold equipment could only increase all attributes by 10 points at most! According to Bai Xiaowen's calculations, an all attribute increase of 10 points was far from enough to stop a High Overlord like Zuo Yunxuan from Swordsong Realm.
Therefore, Bai Xiaowen fed the Butcher the Dark Gold item!
It had to be said that Dark Gold equipment was indeed a qualitative change. After the Butcher devoured it, all attributes increased by 20 points. This was the upper limit of Devour equipment!
At this time, the Butcher's attributes had evolved to —
Strength, 59 points! Physique, 74 points!
Even Agility, which was originally weak, had increased to 47 points!
The Butcher's attributes were now even more exaggerated than a Level-8 Construction-type Boss. He had truly become a line of defense. Under the double deceleration of the Sandstorm Scroll and Decay, even an Agility-based Level-8 Overlord like Zuo Yunxuan could not break through the Butcher's defense!
14, 7, 11 …
Lines of damage values kept appearing above Zuo Yunxuan's head.
There were two main sources of damage: the combined damage of the Sandstorm Scroll and the Decay Poison damage!
No matter how good Zuo Yunxuan's Body Movement was and how good his Evasion was, he could not escape from the AoE damage output! This was one of the ways Bai Xiaowen had found to deal with Zuo Yunxuan.
With Zuo Yunxuan's Inner Force defense and his own 60 points of Physique, the AoE damage was not high. However, when accumulated, Zuo Yunxuan would not be able to withstand it. Not to mention, the surrounding summoned creatures would occasionally succeed in drawing the lottery and hit Zuo Yunxuan.
Moreover, if he used his Inner Force defense, it would limit Zuo Yunxuan's damage output. It was a win-win situation.
Zuo Yunxuan glanced at Bai Xiaowen from afar. His face was pale as he maintained the Sandstorm Scroll. The Sandstorm Scroll was a large-scale AoE spell. It consumed an alarming amount of Spiritual Power. Moreover, when Spiritual Power was depleted (less than or equal to 2 points), it would begin to reduce Health Points.
"I don't believe that you can maintain this strange spell forever …"
Zuo Yunxuan gritted his teeth and turned the Infinity Sword into a defensive stance, parrying the summoned creatures' attacks. At the same time, he covered his body with Inner Force to resist the combined damage of the Decay Poison and the Sandstorm Scroll.
In this way, the damage Zuo Yunxuan received was greatly reduced. Whether it was the Sandstorm Scroll or the Decay Poison, they could only deal single-digit damage. If this Grandmaster Swordsman focused on defense, the summoned creatures' inferior combat abilities would not be able to hurt him.
Bai Xiaowen secretly admired Zuo Yunxuan. How terrifying was this old man? Even when surrounded by so many enemies, he could still dodge the Deathbone Demon's Lightning Strike!
At this time, the Sandstorm Scroll had drained Bai Xiaowen's Spiritual Power to 2 points. It began to drain Bai Xiaowen's Health Points.
However, Bai Xiaowen did not panic. With the dual absorption ability of the Blood Essence Stone, he could continuously replenish his Health Points and Spiritual Power. Coupled with the Life Sharing ability with the Butcher, Bai Xiaowen could still hold on for quite some time. Zuo Yunxuan, who only had 600 Health Points, had already lost 200 Health Points!
When his Health Points fell below 400, Zuo Yunxuan's expression became serious. He was secretly anxious.
"How long can this kid hold on? If he fails miserably, he will become a laughing stock. It seems that I can no longer hide the trump card that I have been saving for the competition for the position of the Top Four. "
Suddenly, Zuo Yunxuan let out a soft whistle. The Infinity Sword's style changed. The path of the sword became mysterious and unpredictable. A two-foot-long sword aura extended from the tip of his sword.
Clang … Clang … Clang …
The sound of metal clashing was endless. The summoned creatures' weapons were struck down almost at the same time. As the controller, Bai Xiaowen could clearly feel that Zuo Yunxuan's swordsmanship had changed greatly. The force on the blade was also very strange. It was sometimes pushing, sometimes sucking, sometimes tangling, and sometimes sticking!
