Lin Jin didn't panic at all. In fact, he was already prepared for this. Patriarch Xue Pao had put on a good show earlier but Lin Jin had never trusted him. Moreover, the Breezy Monster was the most sensitive to murderous auras. From the moment Lin Jin stepped foot into this place, the Breezy Monster had been warning him.
Hence, Lin Jin waited patiently for the enemy to strike.
"Slash!"
Lin Jin only uttered one word before the Breezy Monster by his waist shot out like a beam of light. Two beams of light slashed down from above and below his feet.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Without moving, Lin Jin used the Breeze Monster Sword to nullify the attack.
Above him, a black shadow descended. It was a strange-looking ant beast. Its lower body was that of an insect while its upper body was that of a woman. However, the woman's expression was ferocious as she gritted her teeth. One of her insect limbs had been severed by the sword energy and it was bleeding profusely.
Below her feet, several zombies with severed limbs crawled out of the soil. Some of them were even severed at the waist by the sword energy. Even if they managed to crawl out, they would soon stop moving.
Elsewhere, the Corpse Cultivator appeared with a dark expression. Behind him, a deathly aura billowed and the figure of a five-clawed zombie dragon swayed.
At this, Lin Jin smirked.
"I knew it."
The Corpse Cultivator and Patriarch Xue Pao were in cahoots with each other. Lin Jin had guessed this back at Tianxuan City and now, it was confirmed.
As for that half-human, half-insect female demon beast, it was no surprise that she was the Insect Queen of the Underground Palace Ant Beasts.
She was also Patriarch Xue Pao's helper.
Lin Jin flicked his finger and shot a needle at the insect queen. However, the insect queen blocked it with her sturdy insect limbs and sneered in disdain.
"Hmph, child's play!"
In fact, Lin Jin wasn't thinking of using a single needle to hurt her. He was only trying to gauge the insect queen's strength.
'As expected, it's only a Rank 5 monster. Although it's a rare beast, it can at most fight Xiao Huo to a draw, 'Lin Jin calculated.
Based on the current situation, the Corpse Cultivator and the insect queen seemed to have the upper hand. Not to mention, there was also Patriarch Xue Pao who had an unknown amount of combat power.
On the other hand, he was alone. No matter how he looked at it, he was at a disadvantage.
"Curator, you didn't expect this, did you? Even if you have unparalleled powers, you won't be able to escape death today." The Corpse Dao said with a hideous voice.
The last time he was at Tianxuan Royal City, he returned in failure. He had been suppressing his anger for a long time, and this time, he could finally release it. Killing the curator was now his primary goal.
Then, the Corpse Dao said to Patriarch Xue Pao, "Patriarch Xue Pao, don't hide it anymore. This curator's cultivation base is very high. We need the three of us to work together. Otherwise, if we let him escape, there will be endless troubles in the future."
In other words, he was telling Patriarch Xue Pao that the Curator already knew where he was hiding and that he had already fallen out with him. If he didn't make up his mind to eliminate him, the Curator would definitely come back for revenge.
So there was only one way to go.
"Corpse Dao, even if you didn't say that, I would've done the same thing. This curator is clearly not an immortal but he's putting on an act. He thinks he can fool me. What a joke." Patriarch Xue Pao sneered. Fresh blood gushed out of the blood giant's body and quickly gathered on Patriarch Xue Pao's psyche. With a loud boom, an invisible malevolent aura erupted, forcing out the spirit refining needle Lin Jin had buried.
The next moment, the blood and psyche combined to form a new clone of Patriarch Xue Pao.
Its aura had surpassed that of the insect queen and the Corpse Dao. It was now on par with the zombie dragon.
Patriarch Xue's clone smirked. "Curator, since you can't move the immortal's corpse, there's no point in keeping you around. Killing you and devouring your flesh and blood will at least strengthen me. Who knows, maybe after a few hundred years, I'll be able to break the immortal's seal. When that happens, I'll be free to roam the world."
"Patriarch Xue Pao, don't waste your breath on him. Let's attack together and kill the curator to prevent any unforeseen circumstances," the Corpse Dao said with a sinister smile. At the same time, a deathly fog began to spread behind him. The zombie dragon let out a roar, clearly agitated. Lin Jin remained calm.
At this moment, Lin Jin was as calm as ever. He had no intention of escaping as if everything was under his control.
"Corpse Dao, Patriarch Xue Pao, do you really think you've won?" Lin Jin's voice carried a hint of mockery and contempt.
"Isn't that the case? Forget about the fact that you're not an immortal, even if you were, you'd still die if the three of us ganged up on you. We don't have that many people to help you this time. " Dao Corpse had a confident look on his face. This time, they had meticulously planned everything out. Furthermore, it was a surprise attack. Even if the Curator was on guard, he wouldn't have expected that there would be three experts ganging up on him.
However, the 'curator's' tone gave the Corpse Dao an ominous feeling.
It sounded like the curator wasn't afraid. In fact, he wasn't surprised to see the Corpse Dao either.
'Could it be that the curator knew I would ambush him here? No, that's impossible. He can't possibly know. He must be bluffing! 'The Corpse Dao calculated.
"Attack!"
The Corpse Dao didn't plan to wait any longer. The zombie dragon behind him immediately swirled up a cloud of deathly fog and pounced forward with the force to engulf the world.
At the same time, the queen insect's tail let out a strange noise. She was summoning the ant beasts. Instantly, the rumbling of an army could be heard.
If there were thousands of Ant Beasts surrounding and attacking them, no matter who it was, they would have to suffer.
Patriarch Xue Pao made his move as well. However, a cloud of bloody fog erupted from his body. It instantly spread over a thousand feet, forming a barrier that trapped everyone within.
Inside the barrier, Patriarch Xue Pao had more tricks up his sleeves. He was undefeatable.
The surrounding ant beasts weren't in a hurry as they wouldn't be able to reach him anytime soon. However, the zombie dragon couldn't be ignored. Lin Jin immediately called out, "Breeze, come. Slay the dragon!"
In an instant, sword rays swirled like stars in the sky. Then, like the reflection of the moon on a river's surface, a cold glint flashed past. Following that, the ferocious and insufferably arrogant zombie dragon let out a pained wail before retreating hastily.
In the blink of an eye, the victor had been decided.
Dao Corpse's eyes widened in disbelief. After all, ever since he refined Dao Dragon's pet beast into a zombie dragon, this was the first time he encountered such a situation. In a direct confrontation, he was actually defeated in a head-on battle.
Taking a closer look, there was a sword wound on the Zombie Dragon's neck. It was more than ten feet long, and the wound was so deep that the bone could be seen. If it wasn't for the fact that the Zombie Dragon's skin was as tough as metal, its head would have long been chopped off by the sword.
Even so, the zombie dragon was gravely injured. It would need to slowly heal its wounds with death energy or else its combat strength would be greatly reduced.
The Zombie Dragon was immediately put at a disadvantage against the Breezy Demon Sword.
Even Lin Jin was surprised by this.
