"A mere trifle, how dare you show off before me!"
King of Huainan sneered, extending his bone claws to grab the flaming sword, seizing it directly.
After restraining the flying sword, King of Huainan roared forward, spitting out a cloud of purplish-black smoke that spread outwards.
It was clearly something noxious, and everyone dared not touch it, retreating backward to distance themselves from the purplish-black smoke.
King of Huainan, however, was relentless. He floated forward, his bone claws slashing downwards.
Seeing this, a burly man gritted his teeth and roared, "Steel Skin!"
Following the low growl, a metallic sheen appeared on the man's body. Then, King of Huainan's bone claws descended, striking the man's head. The expected fatal blow did not occur. Instead, a crisp metallic clang echoed, and the man withstood King of Huainan's attack.
This person was clearly from a world of superpowers, capable of hardening his body to steel, possessing astonishing defense. King of Huainan's bone claws could not tear through his body.
A young woman, seeing this, shouted, "Infernape!"
The woman raised her hand, and a white light suddenly appeared. From within the white light emerged a strangely shaped monkey, its body resembling a ball of flesh, covered in white fur, with black shackles on its wrists and ankles.
Everyone understood. This woman was likely from a beast-taming world.
King of Huainan pointed at the woman and issued a command, "Close Combat!"
Infernape immediately let out a series of strange cries, charging towards King of Huainan. It then leaped up, swinging its palms towards King of Huainan's head.
King of Huainan didn't even glance at Infernape. With a casual wave, a gust of eerie wind swirled around, easily blowing Infernape away.
Next, King of Huainan turned his attention to the burly man before him. His bone claws still gripped the man's head, and he let out a sinister smile before exhaling a puff of black smoke.
The black smoke drifted, quickly entering the man's nose and mouth.
The next moment, the burly man's eyes widened, his entire body began to convulse, and he started coughing up black blood.
Although the man could use his superpower to make his body's surface as hard as iron, rendering King of Huainan's sharp bone claws ineffective, it was only the surface. His internal organs were not.
"Hahahahahaha..." King of Huainan laughed maniacally, dropping the corpse in his hand. He roared, "A bunch of ignorant fools, how dare you disturb my cultivation? I shall kill you all!"
...
Meanwhile, Bai Ye was still sprinting, rapidly heading towards the exit of the passage.
Engaging King of Huainan?
Bai Ye had no such thought.
Because, within King of Huainan's tomb, King of Huainan was invincible.
No one could kill King of Huainan within his tomb!
The restricted area mission had already provided a hint, but almost everyone had failed to notice it.
"Restricted Area Mission 3: Obtain the Five Spirit Disk and leave King of Huainan's Tomb. Reward: Five Spirit Disk x1, Tai Xia Golden Elixir x1, Shard of God Stone x5."
The description of the restricted area mission never mentioned the need to kill King of Huainan, but rather to obtain the item and then leave his tomb.
Furthermore, unlike other missions, the rewards were not given afterward. The Tai Xia Immortal Elixir and the Five Spirit Disk were in King of Huainan's tomb chamber, available for the taking. Whoever took them would possess them, and those who successfully took the Five Spirit Disk would also receive five extra Shards of God Stone.
Therefore, the key to this mission was actually...
Escape!
However, escaping King of Huainan's tomb was not an easy task.
Besides King of Huainan's pursuit...
Bai Ye suddenly stopped. An eerie wind blew from ahead, and then, some Yin soldiers wearing ancient armor and wielding weapons appeared at the other end of the passage.
These Yin soldiers were not tomb guardian spirits, but were summoned by King of Huainan using his abilities, blocking the entrances and exits of various passages.
Bai Ye hesitated no longer. As he charged forward, he took out a deck of playing cards and threw them out continuously.
*Puff, puff, puff...*
The spinning playing cards continuously struck the bodies of the Yin soldiers, forcing them back. At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly leaped.
The high-frequency serrated knife in his hand vibrated, emitting a piercing sound, and he forcefully slashed forward!
A silver glow appeared. The serrated knife entered the head of a Yin soldier and then directly cleaved the soldier's body in half.
The next instant, with a *bang*, the Yin soldier, split in two, let out a muffled sound, and its body turned into a large cloud of dust that scattered in the wind.
After this strike, Bai Ye twisted the serrated blade, transforming it into a dual-bladed weapon. He quickly slashed to both sides, cutting through the bodies of two Yin soldiers, and then rushed out of the passage.
However, as Bai Ye passed through the tomb chamber outside the passage and was about to enter another passage, the sound of mechanisms turning suddenly rang out.
At the entrance of the passage ahead, stones shifted and moved, quickly sealing off the passage.
However, as the passage ahead was sealed, new passages appeared on both sides.
Bai Ye hesitated for a moment, then turned left and continued to run forward rapidly. After about fifteen minutes, a desperate situation arose: Bai Ye found himself facing a dead end, blocked by a wall.
Bai Ye decisively turned back to run, but at this moment...
*Rumble!*
With a loud crash, a section of the side wall collapsed. A bone hand shattered the wall, and then King of Huainan floated out from behind it.
"Vermin!" King of Huainan growled, "Put down my Five Spirit Disk!"
"Why bother?" Bai Ye spread his hands. "You're dead and buried, and keeping such a treasure in your tomb is a waste. It's better to let me take it out and let the treasure see the light of day."
King of Huainan sneered, "Silver-tongued, die!"
King of Huainan clearly had no intention of wasting more words. He directly extended his bone hand to grab forward, and the smoke beneath him transformed into a giant hand, reaching out to seize Bai Ye.
"Ning Shuang, Ice Barrier!"
Bai Ye quickly shouted, and the Ning Shuang Sword behind him flew to his front, bringing with it a silver tide of cold. An ice wall rose from the ground.
*Boom!*
The ice wall appeared fragile before King of Huainan's attack. Upon being struck by the giant palm formed from smoke, it instantly shattered into pieces.
However, just as the ice wall shattered, Bai Ye also sprinted forward, throwing himself out and sliding on the ground.
