Interestingly, Zhao Lin and Huang Xuan have met for the third time, yet neither recognized the other.
Huang Xuan wrapped himself tightly with a black cloth and mask, so Zhao Lin didnât realize that the black-robed man in front of them was the Sect Leader of the Beast King Sect who had attacked them earlier!
The reason Zhao Lin wasnât recognized by Huang Xuan was due to the days of pursuit with Thunderous Roar, leaving her disheveled and in a sorry state. Watching the battle between Thunderous Roar and the Corpse King only added to the lack of timely self-care.
Thus, Zhao Linâs current appearance was dramatically different from her previously delicate image!
Moreover, Huang Xuanâs mind was occupied with anxiety as Thunderous Roar was being controlled by the Corpse King, leaving no energy for careful observation of Zhao Lin.
After listening to Huang Xuanâs words, everyone present couldnât help but change their expressions.
No one expected that the Corpse Kingâs strange actions just now were aimed at subduing Thunderous Roar!
This was something utterly unacceptable for Yuan Yi and others.
After all, they had gone through so much hardship, sacrificing several comradesâ lives to have Thunderous Roar and the Corpse King fight it out, hoping for mutual destruction, never to aid the Corpse King in gaining more power.
The Corpse King was already frighteningly strong, and if now allied with Thunderous Roar, the entire Base City of Jiang Province would be endangered.
But when they thought of the Corpse King tormenting Thunderous Roar, everyoneâs hearts froze, losing all the desire for action.
If there was a chance of successfully intervening, perhaps they would still choose to take a risk.
Yet now, facing this certain-death outcome, these people naturally wouldnât seek their own demise.
Initially, Huang Xuan thought that after he spoke, these people would rush to stop the Corpse King desperately, but to his surprise, these guys were frightened stiff by the Corpse King, standing there motionless.
"A bunch of cowards! If the Corpse King successfully controls Thunderous Roar, who knows how many compatriots will die at the hands of Thunderous Roar! Itâs all your fault!"
In an instant, Huang Xuan was furious beyond measure, pointing at Yuan Yi and others, incessantly cursing.
These people were truly useless; he should have known better than to rely on them.
"Itâs not that we donât want to intervene, the Corpse Kingâs power is overwhelming; rushing in would be like moths to a flame!" Yuan Yi explained in a calm tone, maintaining high vigilance toward this mysterious person.
The origin of this black-robed man was indeed suspicious, and judging by the aura emanating from him, he was likely a fourth-order, making his strength formidable.
"Humph, in the end, arenât you all just cowardly and full of excuses? Danger? How would you know itâs dangerous if you donât try?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Xuan snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain.
The well-laid plans were completely ruined, and these damned Evolvers were responsible for more than half of it.
"Itâs easy to say; with so many fifth-order Corpse Puppets under the Corpse King, even Thunderous Roar is no match. What are your intentions in inciting us to intervene?
Claiming we fear death? If youâre so bold, why donât you go?"
Upon hearing Huang Xuanâs harsh words, Yuan Yi and others couldnât help but darken their expressions, and a young Evolver couldnât help but retort angrily.
"You!... Fine, fine, fine, today Iâll let you useless bunch see how I take action!"
Enraged by these words, Huang Xuanâs aura spread out as he shouted furiously at Zhao Lin and others.
Words had come to this point, and there was no room for maneuver; even if he felt helpless, Huang Xuan could only go all out this once.
With this thought, a cold glint flashed in Huang Xuanâs eyes.
Thunderous Roar was extremely important to him; under no circumstances could it fall into someone elseâs hands.
The next moment, Huang Xuan ignored these useless people and with a turn, summoned a fourth-order fierce tiger with fur like black silk from the nearby mountain forest.
Jumping onto the tiger, he turned into a black lightning bolt, charging towards Ji Ruxueâs direction.
Watching Huang Xuanâs departing figure, Yuan Yi and others frowned slightly; this arrogant guy was indeed quite bold!
On the battlefield, Ji Ruxue had reached the most critical moment. The Blood Talisman emitting a faint bloody glow was already halfway integrated into Thunderous Roarâs head.
As if oppressed by the Blood Talisman, Thunderous Roarâs painful cries grew louder and louder.
In an effort to escape its predicament, it struggled more fiercely; alas, despite the struggle, Thunderous Roar was still relentlessly suppressed by the Corpse Puppets, unable to move.
"Beast, stop for me!"
Just then, Huang Xuan, riding the fourth-order Black Tiger, rushed over, seeing Ji Ruxue about to succeed and shouted, burning with anger.
At that moment, as Ji Ruxue was fully concentrated on subduing Thunderous Roar, the sudden shout from Huang Xuan startled her, causing the Blood Talisman about to fully integrate into Thunderous Roarâs head to shudder.
Fortunately, Ji Ruxue reacted in time and exerted all her strength to stabilize the trembling Blood Talisman.
"Kill!"
Huang Xuan, who was anxious, felt joy upon seeing Ji Ruxueâs situation, knowing an opportunity had arisen, immediately ordering the fourth-order Black Tiger under his command to attack the immobilized Ji Ruxue.
Always keeping an eye on Little Qiqi, Lu Chuan couldnât help but snort coldly at the scene.
Attempting to attack Little Qiqi was a delusional wish.
In an instant, Invisible One, who was waiting in place, utilized the Power of Shadow to Shadow Jump in an invisible state and disappeared.
The next second, Invisible One appeared beside the Black Tiger, using the steel claws in its hand to rip open the charging Black Tiger.
"Roar~"
After a painful howl, the powerless fourth-order Black Tiger fell into a pool of blood, with slippery intestines spilling all over the place.
"What!"
Invisible Oneâs attack was too fast, leaving Huang Xuan, the Beast Master, with no time to react.
"Damn it..."
A suddenly awakened Huang Xuan hurriedly turned to escape.
But at that moment, a canopy seemed to fall from the sky.
Shadow Dominator!
Instantly, a Shadow Realm enveloped Huang Xuanâs head, causing him to lose his sight, unable to see anything around him.
Trapped in the Shadow Realm, Huang Xuan hadnât had time to resist when the Power of Shadow behind him transformed into a sky-deviating Shadow Long Saber, slicing through Huang Xuanâs neck in an instant.
Huang Xuan had no time to react, only feeling a chill on his neck, followed by his head falling.
"This is my... body? Noâ!"
As his head fell, Huang Xuanâs eyes, unable to close in peace, gazed at his familiar body, instantly realizing with boundless unwillingness.
Meanwhile, the contract between Ji Ruxue and Thunderous Roar was gradually completed.
This time, humanityâs plan had truly gone to waste!
