Chapter 2573 Closer
Spatial projection!
Fang Heng once again stepped into a spatial projection, evading the several tracking spells from the pursuing Dark Clan, and quickly closed in on the Dark Clan warrior!
The great holy sword!
Kill!
The moment Fang Heng stepped out of the spatial projection, he brought the great holy sword down fiercely onto the Dark Clan warrior!
“Bang!!!”
With a heavy thud, the impact resonated through the air!
The Dark Clan warrior had just recovered from the spiritual concussion and was unable to defend himself. He was instantly sent flying by the blow, with his armor shattered into pieces under the strike of the great holy sword.
Not dead yet!
He continued to attack!
Fang Heng raised his hand toward the flying Dark Clan warrior.
Blood Piercing!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
The high concentration of lifeblood enveloping Fang Heng quickly condensed into hundreds of sharp spikes, shooting toward the Dark Clan warrior.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!!!”
After blocking the first several spikes, the airborne Dark Clan warrior was pierced by the subsequent barrage of lifeblood spikes.
[Hint: The player successfully killed the Dark Clan warrior (elite). The player gained 8,980 points of Death God bloodline experience points.]
[Hint: The player was attacked by the Dark Clan priest, the player received 23,000 necromancy attribute damage (under the current sacred study state, the player took additional necromancy attribute damage).]
[Hint: The player received…]
“Hu…”
After executing a well-optimized combo that took down the Dark Clan warrior, Fang Heng also found himself hit by more than a dozen spells from the Dark Clan priest, locking his spirit in place.
No problem!
It didn’t hurt!
Fang Heng quickly turned around, swinging his great holy sword once more.
“Buzz!”
The holy ripple spread outward, instantly freezing a large group of Dark Clan priests behind him.
D*mn those troublesome Dark Clan warriors!
Fang Heng silently grumbled.
The good news was that each Dark Clan warrior could provide nearly ten thousand bloodline experience points!
Moreover, the great holy sword was particularly effective against the undead.
It dealt damage and could inflict paralysis—so easy to handle!
Fang Heng had swiftly taken down two Dark Clan warriors. Through the lifeblood perception he had left on Collete, he noticed that she was closing in on him, no longer lingering to fight, and quickly retreated into the darkness of the maze.
“D*mn it! Where is he?!”
By the time Collete arrived, wanting to settle things with Fang Heng, there was no sign of him anywhere.
Collete clenched his fists, looking back at the passage engulfed by countless Lickers, his eyes filled with rage.
That guy!
He was really getting on his nerves!
Fang Heng had already retreated deep into the darkness, continuing to observe from the shadows.
The enemy’s formation was stretched too thin, making them vulnerable to attacks from both sides.
After just wiping out a wave of foes, he had received over seventy thousand experience points.
With the Lickers and Abe Akaya’s vines continually consuming invaders, he had amassed over one hundred fifty thousand experience points in under ten minutes.
Normally, gaining experience for the Death God bloodline was a tedious task, only achievable through soul rituals.
But this opportunity was too good to pass up!
Time to keep grinding!
…
On Fang Heng’s side, things were going smoothly, but on the other side, the higher council of the undead faction observed the situation through a mirror, sparking an academic debate among them.
The undead council couldn’t hear what was happening in the mausoleum through the mirror, so they had no idea what was going on inside.
What kind of undead creatures were invading the death realm? They didn’t appear to be ordinary undead; rather, they seemed like a sentient race.
As the undead council remained puzzled, they saw Fang Heng join forces with the mausoleum’s guardians, leveraging his individual skills to fight against the invaders.
Shi Lipeng was witnessing Fang Heng’s combat tactics against the invaders for the first time through the mirror.
This feeling was like seeing an expert’s first-person perspective for the first time. He was immediately shocked.
It felt as if he were witnessing a master’s perspective for the first time, leaving him utterly awestruck.
At that moment, Shi Lipeng finally understood how Fang Heng had been able to turn the Holy Court upside down.
No wonder…
After the initial shock, he couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly.
It was no wonder the Holy Court viewed Fang Heng as a thorn in their side.
If he had such an enemy, he definitely wouldn’t sleep well at night.
Meanwhile, some members of the undead council were becoming anxious, urging their assistants, “Have we found any information about the invaders?”
“Councilor, we’ve searched through everything. There’s no relevant information in the translated documents. We’re still working on translating the earlier materials obtained from the mausoleum.”
“From Fang Heng’s actions, it seems the invaders are not from our faction, and their motives for invading the mausoleum remain uncertain…”
As they discussed, Ji Xiaobo returned from the Zombie Apocalypse with Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang.
“We’re back!”
Instantly, all eyes in the council hall turned toward the three of them.
They had returned!
No one had expected Fang Heng to possess some special ability to safely bring people back from the death realm.
Such an ability was far safer and less costly than using holy weapons to break open soul passages.
Georgi nodded inwardly.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
With this, Fang Heng’s life was assured, allowing them to feel a bit more at ease.
Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang had never been the focus of so many high-tier undead instructors before, making them feel somewhat awkward.
Seeing this, Ji Xiaobo nudged Tan Shuo with his elbow, “Quick, tell everyone what happened in the mausoleum.”
“Okay, okay.”
Regaining his composure, Tan Shuo quickly recounted the events that had transpired in the mausoleum.
Of course, following Fang Heng’s prior warning, he omitted details about the Everlasting Moon, glossing over that part.
The members of the undead faction were seasoned individuals and quickly picked up on certain nuances, but since those details weren’t critical, they inferred that they might be Fang Heng’s trump cards and didn’t press further.
Once Tan Shuo finished, the entire council hall fell into hushed discussions.
Based on the explanations from Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang, everyone gained a new understanding of the situation in the mausoleum.
“It’s true that in some records, Empress Persephone has always been decisive and ruthless in her unification of the death realm, leaving no survivors. However, she hasn’t exterminated the indigenous tribes that submitted to her rule; instead, she has limited their activity and strictly controlled their movement.”
“Thus, it seems the Hanu tribe must be the rebellious faction that has overthrown the Empress’s regime.”
“Who would have thought they had such strength?”
“If this tribe can control the death realm storms, then everything might make sense.”
Several council members huddled together, whispering among themselves.
After pondering for a moment, Georgi looked up at Tan Shuo and continued, “What about Fang Heng? What are his thoughts on this matter?”
“We triggered the mission to eliminate the invaders earlier. Completing it will grant us enhancements to our Death God bloodline abilities. This is a rare opportunity, and Fang Heng wants to stay in the mausoleum a while longer to take advantage of it.”
