This is the Sword Sect's damage output!

However, in the next instant, the soil was suddenly torn apart.

A pair of pale, withered hands abruptly grabbed her sneakers.

As the blood-stained dirt sprayed into the air, a pale skull emerged.

Gu Jianlin's quick reflexes allowed him to raise his right hand, which seemed to be enveloped by the Spiritual Body of the Kirin Arm!

At his fingertips, an intense black cross-shaped flash pulsed!

"Void Flash!"

The parrot screeched.

BOOM!

A rich black cross-shaped flash flickered briefly, and a jet-black beam of light pierced through the dense fog in an instant.

The pale skull was suddenly penetrated, and eerie black spell marks crawled over its entire body like living creatures, quickly causing it to rot and decay into a shriveled corpse.

Tang Ling widened her beautiful eyes in astonishment. As one of the Catastrophe students, she was knowledgeable.

This was actually a combined skill.

Ji Xiaoyu, having been a victim of this ability last night, could deeply relate as well!

At the same time, a similar monster appeared under her feet but was instantly shattered with a decisive stomp.

"Watch out for the trees!"

Nightmare shouted, "They're all buried living corpses!"

The withered ancient trees suddenly split open, and one pale, grotesque skull after another emerged.

Each skull bore a chilling, sinister grin!

Dawn and Poison Master were protected at the center.

At this moment, it was time for the various Inheritance Paths to showcase their powers.

As one of the Ghost Slayer paths, the Demon Blade was equally hailed as the King of Damage Output.

She was a Fourth-Rank Shura, with speed so incredible that her movements were almost impossible to track.

The blade light surged like a tide.

All the ancient trees were severed by her, and shattered corpse fragments and black blood spattered everywhere.

Blue Whale then activated its thought ability, directly pulling out the heads that protruded from the soil.

It was as though pulling radishes—straightforward and efficient.

Then, clenching both hands tightly—BANG!

All the heads exploded mid-air into fragmented pieces.

"Wait, don't kill them!"

Just then, Mountain Ghost suddenly shouted, "There are at least tens of thousands of corpses buried in this pit! It's not just our team that has come here—others have died here before!"

Now partially transformed into a Ghost Person, a pale Ghost Fire burned on his forehead.

A flaming spiritual body, resembling the head of a lion, floated behind him, roaring ferociously.

Its size was over three meters tall, exuding a commanding presence!

"Rise!"

With a loud command, rustling sounds came from within the dense forest as decaying corpses began to rise, covered entirely in black spell marks.

They moved like zombies, emitting monstrous growls before instantly clashing with the ghostly creatures, tearing and biting at each other in a blood-soaked frenzy.

The group felt a chilling sensation on their scalps at the mention of tens of thousands of corpses!

Gu Jianlin, however, remained focused on observing the Fourth-Order Cloud Monarch's abilities.

"Envious?"

Tang Ling cast him a sidelong glance.

Gu Jianlin didn't respond. Instead, something suddenly caught his attention.

Tang Ling had previously warned them to stay away from the trees.

It was clear she had already anticipated the source of the danger.

"Did you know this was a tree burial?"

Gu Jianlin suddenly asked.

Tang Ling pouted. "I didn't know; wasn't it you who told me?"

Gu Jianlin clearly didn't believe her.

"Where's Instructor Wan? Call Instructor Wan!"

"There are too many undead creatures here—we can't handle this alone."

"We have to find a way to retreat!"

Given the combat power of this rescue team, they weren't entirely helpless.

The sheer volume of enemies was overwhelming, but at worst, they could simply escape.

Moreover, they weren't really panicked.

After all, a seasoned Instructor Wan was waiting outside.

But at that very moment, a piercing scream erupted.

They saw Wan Rentu coughing up blood, surrounded by several monsters emerging from the trees.

He looked utterly drained and gravely injured.

The group: "..."

Oh no, an over-actor!

This performance was too fake—the monsters hadn't even touched him yet!

Clearly, Instructor Wan was doing it on purpose. The living corpses swarmed over him, biting fiercely.

Despite being made of flesh and blood, the sound of metal grinding echoed as they bit him.

Even after the corpses broke their own teeth, they couldn't even scratch him.

And yet Wan Rentu continued wailing as if he were being dismembered alive until countless corpses drowned him entirely.

The roaring ceased.

Watching this scene, Gu Jianlin's restless emotions slightly lost control. "Has he always been like this?"

Tang Ling shook her head. "This means that Instructor Wan thinks this level of danger doesn't require him to intervene and that we can handle it. If we fail here, we're worthless wastes who deserve to die."

Suddenly, Ji Xiaoyu shouted, "Everyone, bow your heads and leave it to me!"

The group momentarily froze before revealing excited expressions.

The Little Princess had another resounding nickname besides Absolute Poison King.

Duobao Child!

As for the meaning? Just take it literally!

Being elites, the group didn't hesitate to crouch down and bow their heads.

Ji Xiaoyu then pulled a handle resembling a fire poker from her skirt pocket and forcefully injected spirituality into it!

With a tremendous BOOM!

The fire poker burst into blazing flames, forming a forty-meter-long fiery blade that unleashed rolling waves of searing heat, cutting through the enemy hordes like a whirlwind.

Mythical Weapon, Purgatory Ghost Slash.

——Unleashed!

With a single swing, scorching fire left a heart-stopping mark amidst the thick fog.

Simultaneously, columns of blistering flames erupted from the depths of the ground, exploding violently!

"Run!"

The group hastily retreated; this Mythical Weapon clearly spared no distinction between friend or foe!

BOOM!

Flames engulfed the entire forest, detonating into a massive mushroom cloud.

Ji Xiaoyu's wild laughter echoed through the dense fog as she shouted gleefully, "Now you all know who the true ruler is, don't you? I conquered Buzhou Mountain when I was seven—what about you?"

Indeed, the brat hadn't been giving her all earlier.

Though such a Mythical Weapon wasn't something to use recklessly.

Unless she wanted to blow herself up, too.

Yet in that fleeting moment, Gu Jianlin abruptly turned his head towards the dense forest's depths.

"There's someone."

He suddenly said, "I detected a Life Rhythm."
