"Is that County Magistrate Qin?"

Xiao Mu was overjoyed upon seeing Qin Huaiyi.

From the color of his robes, he guessed his identity instantly.

"Great! County Magistrate Qin, please help us kill this third-grade evil zombie!"

In his moment of joy, Xiao Mu immediately called for help.

"Mr. Mu is too polite; not only did you save me, but you also made me an underworld ruler. I owe you a great debt, helping out is my duty."

Qin Huaiyi responded loudly, swinging the Iron Ruler with a whoosh, attacking the third-grade evil zombie they were fighting against.

"Emperor's Seal - Suppress!"

Xiao Mu took this opportunity to use the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor to suppress the enemy.

"Aargh..."

The third-grade evil zombie gave a miserable scream. Dealing with Xiao Mu, Lei Jiang, and Wang Tong was difficult enough. Now, with an additional powerhouse like Qin Huaiyi, the pressure on the zombie increased greatly, quickly putting it in danger.

"Bang!"

Qin Huaiyi seized his chance, striking the zombie with his Iron Ruler, eliciting a howl of pain and inflicting substantial damage.

"Emperor's Seal, suppress!"

Crack!

Xiao Mu once again maneuvered the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor to suppress the third-grade evil zombie while also swinging his Peach Wood Sword, cutting at the zombie.

A faint Thunder Power struck the third-grade evil zombie, its evil energy consumed, causing serious injury.

"Demon Suppression Palm!"

"Thunder Rush Palm!"

Wang Tong and Lei Jiang seized this opportunity to strike, hitting the injured third-grade evil zombie too.

"Aargh..."

Heavily injured, the third-grade evil zombie gave a painful howl.

"Bang!"

Once again seizing his chance, Qin Huaiyi landed another hit on the third-grade evil zombie with the Iron Ruler.

"Quick!"

Xiao Mu then took out a True Fire Talisman, attached it to the Peach Wood Sword, and struck the third-grade evil zombie.

Amidst the wails, the third-grade evil zombie was killed.

Power +7.

"Aargh..."

The death of this third-grade evil zombie terrified another one.

In a frenzy, it roared trying to break free from Ancestor Xu's and Ghost Servant's grip.

"Huff..."

Just then, from underground, a heavy breathing sound emerged. The unknown entity seemingly felt threatened and became agitated.

Simultaneously, an even weirder thing happened.

After the death of the third-grade evil zombie, its evil energy spread out.

Whoo!

On the altar, the dark red Blood Bead suddenly unleashed a massive suction, drawing in this evil energy.

"Damn!"

Despite not knowing the purpose of the Blood Bead absorbing the evil energy and the possible result, Xiao Mu's complexion changed at the sight of this.

"Emperor's Seal, suppress!"

At the same time as pointing with the Peach Wood Sword, the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor swiftly flew out, trying to block the Blood Bead from absorbing the evil energy.

"Sizzle!"

The Emperor's Seal released the Emperor's Might, rapidly cleansing the remaining evil energy in the air.

Nonetheless, a huge portion of the evil energy was still absorbed by the Blood Bead.

Upon the absorption of the evil energy, it directly went through the Blood Bead, entering the ground without any conversion.

Whoo!

As if a whirlwind blew across the altar, all the surrounding air was sucked in, and the blood-red vortex door reappeared.

"Zhao Yan! Be careful!"

The moment the vortex door appeared, Xiao Mu sensed an immense danger.

While warning Zhao Yan, he commanded the Emperor's Seal to fly and shield Zhao Yan. In the meantime, he himself was furiously wielding the Peach Wood Sword as he rushed over.

Chi chi chi.

An object flew out from the vortex gate, crazily absorbing the surrounding evil aura while releasing an endless stream of malevolent energy.

For a moment, even the air seemed to be infected with a potent toxicity. Any ordinary person who smelled even a hint of this would surely be swiftly poisoned to death.

Xiao Mu's complexion changed the moment he saw this object.

It was a triangular flag, a crimson black flag radiating with endless evil energy.

The triangular flag, also known as the Corpse General Banner, is a powerful weapon of the corpse general.

Up until now, as far as Xiao Mu was aware, there had never been any reports of corpse generals using triangular flags.

But this didn't mean the triangular flag was weak. On the contrary, due to its extreme strength and the exorbitant power of the corpse general, there were rarely situations which warranted its use.

Zhao Yan, Wang Tong, Ancestor Xu, Lei Jiang, and even the newly joined Qin Huaiyi all wore grim expressions. Each one of them recognized the formidable power of the triangular flag.

An endless evil qi mixed with unbearable pressure was released from the triangular flag, aggressively suppressing everyone in its presence.

The moment this triangular flag appeared, it intended to crush Xiao Mu and his comrades with its authoritative dominance.

"Hehe!"

The remaining third-grade evil zombie issued a peculiar and triumphant laugh. The appearance of the Corpse General Banner had instantly changed its panic-stricken state into extreme excitement.

It was as if it had already witnessed the death of Xiao Mu and his allies.

But after scrutinizing the triangular flag, Xiao Mu let out a small sigh of relief.

This wasn't a complete Corpse General Banner, but an illusion of it.

Just an illusion!

But even though it was merely an illusion, the grave evil qi and boundless pressure that it emanated was still terrifying.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The Corpse General Banner flew out from the vortex gate and immediately attacked Wang Tong.

Demon Suppression Palm!

In a panic, Wang Tong hurriedly used the Demon Suppression Palm to fend it off.

Whoosh!

The Corpse General Banner effortlessly pierced through his palm, its flagpole impaling his chest.

As blood spurted out, Wang Tong fell, his life and death unknown.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

After defeating Wang Tong, it danced in the air and pounced on Lei Jiang.

Thunder Rush Palm!

Lei Jiang attempted to resist with Thunder Rush Palm but to no avail, just like Wang Tong. He was unable to withstand the force of the Corpse General Banner and was similarly impaled by its flagpole, falling to the ground in a spray of blood. His life and death were also unknown.

Xiao Mu's complexion changed.

Even if it was merely an illusion, the Corpse General Banner was terrifyingly powerful. As soon as it had made its entrance, Wang Tong and Lei Jiang, both in the early stages of the third realm, were heavily injured and couldn't rise from the ground.

"Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, Suppress!"

Xiao Mu pointed his Peach Wood Sword at the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor. With a grave look on his face, he commanded the seal to suppress the Corpse General Banner, precisely blocking its strike towards Zhao Yan.

Perhaps sensing the terrifying power of the Corpse General Banner, the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor released the Emperor's Might frantically.

The might of the Heavenly Emperor was inviolable, yet the Corpse General Banner made it feel threatened.

The Corpse General Banner was stopped in its tracks, seeming to tremble slightly as it encountered the Emperor's Might.

Despite the Corpse General Banner's overwhelming power, it was still suppressed in front of the irresistible Emperor's Might.

The Emperor's Might suppressed everything; any being in this universe had to submit to it.

Crack!

Xiao Mu waved his Peach Wood Sword and took the opportunity to slash at the illusion of the Corpse General Banner.

The faint Thunder Power slammed directly into the Corpse General Banner. Despite its formidable power, it emitted a strange sound, like a painful groan.

"Pah!"

Seizing the opportunity, Qin Huaiyi jumped onto the altar. With the Underworld Ruler, he struck the Corpse General Banner's illusion, causing it to shriek.

After enduring two massive blows, the aura of the Corpse General Banner's illusion diminished significantly, fading a considerable amount.

"Hmmm?"

Seeing this situation, Xiao Mu couldn't help but cheer.

"Woo, woo!"

But just then, the dark red Blood Bead's radiance intensified. A blood-red light shot at the Corpse General Banner, and a massive surge of evil qi flowed into it. The Corpse General Banner then restored its full strength again.

Shocked, Xiao Mu shouted, "Zhao Yan, destroy the bead with all your might!"

He had finally figured it out. All the problems stemmed from this dark red bead. As long as the bead was destroyed, even if the Corpse General Banner's illusion existed, it would be futile.

If we don't destroy the bead, they are bound to grind us down sooner or later.
