Chapter 2071: Chapter 2072: Betrayers Within (First Update)
Indeed, where’s the Tomb Lord?
This question also emerged in the minds of the disciples of the Profound Ming Tomb present.
As for the envoys from the Emperor’s Palace, they were utterly bewildered, wondering where their household’s guard captain had gone!
But no matter how puzzled these people were, under the formidable suppression of Jian ZaiXin and Linghu Jue, they could only lower their heads obediently and wait silently.
Meanwhile, within the arsenal.
A world-shattering battle was unfolding.
Boom boom boom!
With the sound of dull, thunderous crashes, the zombies entangled with Dou Yin’an were successively thrown blasting away.
Among them, the one most severely injured had both arms shattered off, leaving behind only bare shoulders and exposed gray-white bone stumps.
"Heh heh, Li Jingxing, do you truly believe relying on these ungrateful ones would let you defeat me? You’re too naive!" Dou Yin’an sneered repeatedly.
"Ungrateful?" Xue An chuckled softly, "Anyone in the world can say that, anyone but you."
"What do you mean by that?" Dou Yin’an’s expression turned sullen.
"Because you have the audacity to sell the corpses of your sect’s ancestors indiscriminately, what qualifies you to call others ungrateful?" Xue An said coldly.
Dou Yin’an’s face flushed red and blue, looking exceedingly unpleasant.
Because Xue An’s words hit precisely at his weak spot, he was both irritated and embarrassed, leading him to sneer.
"Even if I sold them, so what? They are the past ancestors of the Profound Ming Tomb, what does it have to do with you? Moreover, these fellows might even be more willing; after all, this counts as resurrection, doesn’t it?"
"Resurrection? Becoming someone else’s slave, is this what you call resurrection?" Xue An sneered and then pointed at the zombies.
"And did you think about why they would cooperate with me to turn against you if they were willing?"
"Enough talk, today one of us must die, my brother Li, let’s attack together, eliminate this brat first!"
As the words fell, Dou Yin’an’s aura surged like boiling water, rolling in like an armored vehicle.
Li Xuanyi followed closely, the two joined hands to launch a lethal attack on Xue An.
One top-tier Immortal Emperor, one just a step away from the Immortal Emperor realm, the pressure of their combined strike was enough to shatter any ordinary Immortal King.
Yet Xue An stood calmly amidst this tempestuous wave of might, without the slightest change in the cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Xue An unmoved, Dou Yin’an couldn’t help but rejoice.
No one could look down on him like this, not even the former Red Lotus Immortal Venerable, so in his eyes, this man was surely doomed.
Just as this overwhelming force was about to touch Xue An’s body, even blowing his hair slightly.
Xue An leisurely spoke, "To break free from shackles, one must die, so now I give you this opportunity!"
As the words fell.
The arsenal suddenly trembled, directly repelling Dou Yin’an and Li Xuanyi.
Then, a dozen radiant beams shot out from the depths of the arsenal, circled around the dozen zombies, and then plunged downwards.
Boom!
These beams enveloped the zombies, followed by the sound of gears grinding.
In an instant, the light dispersed, and upon seeing the zombies, they had transformed entirely.
The previously tattered burial clothes had vanished, replaced by armors exuding a cold metallic sheen.
These armors tightly enveloped the zombies, boosting their prowess to an unimaginable level.
It must be noted that these zombies were originally past Tomb Lords of the Profound Ming Tomb, each a top-tier expert in life.
Even though their prowess had plummeted after death, their realms remained.
Thus, with the empowerment of the Command Talisman Armor, their strength soared several times.
Now the zombies, once insignificant in the battlefield, suddenly became a formidable force capable of deciding the final victory.
Dou Yin’an’s face drastically changed upon seeing this.
For he truly hadn’t anticipated that Xue An would still pull such a trick.
"What is this? What have you put on these old undead?" Dou Yin’an shrieked.
Xue An responded casually, "It’s nothing, just a few sets of armor, but they should be sufficient to take your life, and they are quite willing to do it for me!"
Dou Yin’an kept silent for now, as his complexion looked worse than a dead person.
He could clearly feel the hostility of the zombies towards him, especially those eyes hidden behind face plates, glowing with ghostly blue flames, radiating an extremely chilling killing intent.
In this confrontation, Dou Yin’an, who was already feeling guilty, couldn’t help but tremble.
At this moment, Xue An uttered with an indifferent tone, "Go ahead! He’s yours now!"
Upon command, the zombies immediately transformed into radiant beams, pouncing at Dou Yin’an.
Boom boom boom!
In the blink of an eye, the dozen zombies exchanged fierce blows with Dou Yin’an.
The speed was so fast that one couldn’t even blink.
Dou Yin’an’s prowess was indeed formidable, even under the siege of a dozen zombies, he remained rock-steady, while managing to counterattack.
But it was helpless, for no matter the attack, upon hitting the armors on the zombies, the impact was cleverly dispersed, accomplishing nothing.
Witnessing this, Dou Yin’an roared in anger repeatedly, "What the hell are these damn armors? Why are they so solid?"
In reality, by this point, Dou Yin’an was filled with caution.
Because he couldn’t comprehend where this "Master of the Jian Sect" had sourced such peculiar artifacts.
First was the space they were drawn into.
It must be known, given Dou Yin’an’s Immortal Emperor might, ordinary spaces could not withstand him, potentially shattering with a shout.
Yet this space was so stable, even when he and Li Xuanyi unleashed full force, the space remained as steadfast as a mountain without the slightest tremor.
This was enough to astonish.
Even the Profound Ming Tomb where Dou Yin’an typically resided, despite undergoing thousands of years of refinement, couldn’t reach this level.
This stability reminded Dou Yin’an of the Underground Palace he controlled.
For neither appeared to be of the Multiverse, but somewhat extraterrestrial.
Then came the armors on the zombies.
Despite Dou Yin’an’s full efforts, he could do nothing to damage the armors.
This was unfathomable.
Because he, a dignified Immortal Emperor, was unable to crack mere armors, what logic was this?
Yet at this moment, what chilled him further occurred.
Only to see Xue An emerge like a specter before Li Xuanyi, then raise a hand to deliver a punch.
