The group of five displayed an endless array of techniques. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen black haired Death Spirits fell.
Zhong Zizhen’s momentum did not decrease, he charged straight at the Death Spirit King. His target was naturally the Golden Firestorm Sword!
“How foolish!” Qin Yichen snorted, and did not make any rash moves.
After all, that Golden Firestorm Sword was just stuck at the Death Spirit King’s feet.
The red haired Death Spirit King had already developed some intelligence. This sword was probably something it found in the Underground Palace. It was likely that in its previous life, it was also a swordsman!
“Haha, the sword is mine!” The closer he got, the more ecstatic Zhong Zizhen became. His hand reached directly for the sword hilt.
The next second, the Golden Firestorm Sword disappeared, followed immediately by a bone-chilling aura descending from above his head.
Zhong Zizhen was so scared that he quickly rolled on the ground, covered in dust.
*Clang!* A sword fell where he had just been, leaving a bottomless crack on the ground.
Looking up, he saw that the red haired Death Spirit King was actually holding the Golden Firestorm Sword, its blood-red eerie eyes staring intently at him.
“This is bad!” Zhong Zizhen did not dare to hesitate, he immediately got up and ran.
“Bastard!” Seeing him lead the Death Spirit King towards them, Qin Yichen and the others cursed out loud.
If they had teammates like him, who needs enemies?
But there was nothing they could do, because the Death Spirit King had already charged over.
“The entrance!” After glancing inside, Qin Yichen made a decision and shouted lightly, retreating to the entrance.
The group quickly moved to the entrance.
This spot was good for both offence and defence. Moreover, there were still a dozen or so black haired Death Spirits in front blocking the red haired Death Spirit King, preventing it from quickly coming over.
*Shiiiii!…* The Death Spirit King let out a Ghostly cry, its sword directly slashing away several black haired Death Spirits blocking its path.
From the way it held the sword, it was clear that in its previous life it had been an expert of the sword. However, its intelligence was limited, so wielding the Spirit Weapon was just random swinging and hacking, completely without technique.
At this time, Zhong Zizhen had also come to his senses, his face immediately changing between green and red.
What he did was too embarrassing!
*Shiiiii! Shiiiii!* Meanwhile, the livid Death Spirit King let out shrill cries from its mouth. Those black haired Death Spirits finally trembled and retreated to the side.
The Death Spirit King, wrapped in Death Energy, dragged the sword and walked towards the crowd step by step.
“Attack together!” Bian Lingzhu’s Third Uncle exchanged a glance with Zhong Zizhen, and the two advanced together, attacking from left and right.
Then something terrible happened…
The Death Spirit King raised its sword to block Zhong Zizhen’s long sword, while on the other side, its black hand of only bones grabbed towards the sleeve thrown by Bian Lingzhu’s Third Uncle.
*Clang!* With just one collision, Zhong Zizhen was sent flying, retreating more than ten large steps when he landed on the ground, finally stopping when he hit the wall. Blood oozed from both his palm and the corner of his mouth.
*Bang!* On the other side, Bian Lingzhu’s Third Uncle was grabbed by his sleeve and thrown to the ground by the Death Spirit King, landing miserably.
In just one round, two Spirit Realm experts were injured!
The Death Spirit King was just that powerful!
The two quickly retreated, taking recovery Pills at the same time, no longer daring to confront the Death Spirit King head-on. They would attack once and retreat, touching and leaving.
With the addition of occasional Spiritual Energy attacks from Qin Yichen, Shen Hebai, and Bian Lingzhu, the Death Spirit King was further overwhelmed, stumbling around the hall like a drunk, slashing deep marks into the ground.
As time went on, the aura surrounding the Death Spirit King was no longer as strong as before, and the ferocious light in its pupils had dimmed considerably.
It was strong, but its intelligence was still far too low.
“Now!” The moment the Death Spirit King fell, Zhong Zizhen suddenly burst out with double speed, snatching the Golden Firestorm Sword with lightning speed.
*Puff!* After getting the sword, the first thing he did was to pierce through the chest of Bian Lingzhu’s Third Uncle, who was on the same side as him.
“You!” He did not even have time to ask ‘Why’ before Zhong Zizhen shattered his heart, and he died with his eyes open, falling to the ground.
“Zhong Zizhen, you dare kill my Third Uncle!? Just wait for my Bian Family to destroy you!” Bian Lingzhu was shocked and livid. She never imagined that Zhong Zizhen would turn on them so quickly.
“You’re just too naive.” Qin Yichen sighed, grabbed her and ran towards the entrance, “Can you just stop being an idiot!?”
If Zhong Zizhen really feared the Bian Family, he would not have killed her Uncle in the first place, and moreover…
“As long as all of you die here, who will know that we killed you?” Shen Hebai grinned at the two with a chilling smile, blocking the entrance.
Bian Lingzhu’s heart went cold.
All along, she had been under the halo of the Bian Family’s Alchemy Prodigy. Thus, no one dared to disrespect her. How would she know how to face this kind of situation?
Now, she was truly panicking!
[To think this is the kind of genius those huge Families cultivated!] Qin Yichen’s face also changed immediately, pulling Bian Lingzhu to the side.
Without a doubt, Zhong Zizhen and his companion would definitely not spare them! Moreover, relying on himself alone, he definitely would not be able to handle both Zhong Zizhen and Shen Hebai.
“Quickly refine it!” Without any hesitation, he tore off a petal of the Buddha Lotus and stuffed it into Bian Lingzhu’s mouth, instructing, “You block that old guy, I’ll deal with Zhong Zizhen!”
Before Bian Lingzhu could react, the Buddha Lotus petal had already turned into surging Spiritual Energy, pouring into her Knowledge Sea. Immediately, she, who was just a step away, directly stepped into a brand new realm… the Spirit Realm!
“You, a brat. You think you can deal with me?” Zhong Zizhen sneered, reluctant to let go of the Golden Firestorm Sword in his hand.
*Zing!* Qin Yichen did not waste words with him. His Spirit Sword unsheathed, turning into a white light under his control, stabbing straight forward.
With his current Spiritual Energy cultivation, the Spirit Sword, controlled by Qin Yichen, was like a snake, agile and tricky. It made Zhong Zizhen flustered.
What was even more deadly was that although Zhong Zizhen had obtained the Golden Firestorm Sword, it actually greatly reduced the effectiveness of his swordsmanship. The reason was naturally… the Attribute of the Golden Firestorm Sword.
It was a Spirit Weapon with an Attribute. The reason the number one swordsman named it the Golden Firestorm Sword was because when used, it had the speed of wind, the temperature of fire, and the sharpness of metal.
But Zhong Zizhen was not a Fire Attribute Martial Artist, how could he adapt to the scorching temperature on the sword? He felt like he was not holding a sword, but rather a red-hot iron block!
However, Qin Yichen would not give him the chance to change swords.
On the other side, Bian Lingzhu had also reacted. She glanced at Qin Yichen with considerable shock, then began to deal with Shen Hebai.
She did not know what Qin Yichen had given her to consume, but something that could make her break through to Spirit Realm so quickly and without any bottlenecks was definitely not an ordinary item!
Xiao Bai, who was following beside Qin Yichen, changed its appearance. However, seeing that Qin Yichen could handle the situation, it returned to its harmless appearance. Nevertheless, its gaze never left Qin Yichen from beginning to end.
Since it could remember, it had lived in this deathly still Death Zone. The Death Gate that ordinary people could freely enter and exit, was something it could not cross.
And now, it saw hope of leaving this place in Qin Yichen, naturally it would not miss this opportunity!
