"Roar..."

Seeing this, the third-tier evil zombie was overjoyed. The stronger the ghost servant, the greater the enhancement it would gain after devouring them.

Without hesitation, it chased after and attacked the Ghost Servant.

Soon, this third-tier evil zombie was led away by the ghost servant.

"Go!"

Xiao Mu called out and was the first to emerge from his hiding place and ascend the altar.

"Everyone, to your positions!"

Once everyone was on the altar, Xiao Mu commanded loudly again.

Sizzle!

Zhao Yan extended both hands and transformed into a human made of electricity. Her eyes became a shocking white with invisible pupils. Looking up at the sky, countless sparks appeared in her open palms, forming two immense balls of electricity.

After advancing to a mid-term second-tier mutant, her power increased by more than double.

Crackling!

Along with the erupting electric sparks, she released two huge balls of electricity at the dark red Blood Bead, aiming at the Blood-color Light Shield.

Buzz!

The Blood-color light shield began to fluctuate, shaking rapidly, showing signs of breaking at any moment.

Crack!

Xiao Mu lent his strength in time, drawing his Peach Wood Sword and struck at the Blood-color light shield.

Buzz!

The Blood-color light shield was trembling even more violently, like a glass cover, instantly displaying numerous cracks.

"Huff..."

Underground, as if sensing something, the breathing of an unknown formidable entity became rapid.

The dark red bead suddenly reacted, releasing a strong Blood Light and quickly replenishing the energy of the Blood-color light shield, restoring the shield that was on the verge of breaking.

"No good!"

Zhao Yan's face slightly changed. "This bead is too bizarre. With its replenishment, the shield is hard to break."

Xiao Mu's face darkened slightly, "Zhao Yan, you focus on attacking the shield, ignore the other things. That bead can't keep replenishing indefinitely."

Just now, when the bead was replenishing energy to the Blood-color light shield, Xiao Mu noticed.

As the bead replenished energy, the speed at which it absorbed spiritual energy suddenly increased, and the released Yin Qi rapidly decreased.

This means that for this bead to replenish energy to the Blood-color light shield, it isn't without consumption.

It needs to consume Yin Qi.

As such, once the Yin Spirit is saved, the Yin Qi that the bead can acquire decreases, the Yin Qi decreases, and it will soon be unable to maintain the Blood-color light shield.

"Roger that!"

Zhao Yan acknowledged loudly and once again gathered balls of electricity to attack the Blood-color light shield.

"Roar..."

The commotion created by Xiao Mu and his team immediately alerted the third-tier evil zombie. Whether it was the third-tier evil zombie chasing the Ghost Servant or the one in the run-down room, both rushed over simultaneously.

While howling, both these third-tier evil zombies moved alarmingly fast. Almost before their roars had faded, they had reached the side of the altar.

"Everyone, get to your positions and hold them off!"

Xiao Mu commanded loudly.

At this point, the Ghost Servant, riding the Yin Wind Carriage, had already rushed towards the altar ahead of the third-tier evil zombies and stood shoulder to shoulder with Ancestor Xu on the altar.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Ancestor Xu and the Ghost Servant drew their swords simultaneously, striking at one of the third-tier evil zombies.

"Roar!"

The third-grade evil zombie screeched with rage, raising huge sharp claws, separately aimed at the weapons of Ancestor Xu and the ghost servant.

In the blink of an eye, all three parties were locked in combat, wrangling fiercely with each other.

The power of the third-grade evil zombie was originally superior to that of Ancestor Xu and the ghost servant. Even if Ancestor Xu and the ghost servant worked together, they would not be able to hold back a third-grade evil zombie.

However, this third-grade evil zombie was wounded, and its strength had been significantly depleted. It could not gain the upper hand against the combined attacks of Ancestor Xu and the ghost servant.

After a few confrontations, the third-grade evil zombie started howling in despair.

On the other side, Xiao Mu, Lei Jiang, and Wang Tong engaged the other third-grade evil zombie.

Xiao Mu activated the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, suppressing the third-grade evil zombie while repeatedly swinging the Peach Wood Sword imbued with faint thunder power, slashing at the evil zombie one stroke after another.

The Peach Wood Sword, enhanced three times by the hundred-year-old Peach Wood, was extraordinarily powerful. The faint release of Thunder Power added even more pressure on the third-grade evil zombie.

Lei Jiang and Wang Tong seized this opportunity to attack from behind Xiao Mu, continually launching attacks toward the third-grade evil zombie's weak points under Xiao Mu's protection.

Sizzle!

Crackle!

Zhao Yan once again formed an electric energy sphere and smashed it against the blood-colored light shield.

Crack!

A crack appeared in the blood-colored light shield, and the crimson Blood Bead absorbed the evil energy, repairing the shield once again.

"Huff.."

The unknown powerful presence underground began to react, its breathing becoming more rapid.

The crimson Blood Bead seemed to be connected to it in spirit, absorbing Yin Qi even more crazily and transforming it into evil energy, then shooting it underground for absorption.

"Ahhh.."

Hearing the heavy breathing of the unknown entity beneath the ground, the two third-grade evil zombies began to panic. They seemed to have received some commands and launched more desperate attacks on Xiao Mu and the others.

For zombies and evil ghosts, higher-ranking ones exert immense suppression on those of lower rank—a rule that allows no defiance.

After a wild howl, the two third-grade evil zombies swiftly gathered together.

Judging from the actions of Xiao Mu and his team, the two third-grade evil zombies suddenly realized that their opponents must have come prepared, otherwise they would not have been able to seize the Altar immediately upon arrival.

The altar, under the cover of the crimson Blood Bead, released an intense evil spirit which could enhance their strength, restoring or even surpassing their normal state.

The two evil zombies came together, striving to regain control of the Altar.

If they could take back the Altar, the fully restored zombies would have the absolute confidence to defeat Xiao Mu and the others, even to kill them all.

"Stop them!"

Upon observing the moves of the third-grade evil zombies, Xiao Mu quickly recognized their behavior. He warned the others while pointing the Peach Wood Sword at the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

If these two third-grade evil zombies were allowed to unite, their combined strength would greatly increase, and it might be possible for them to charge onto the Altar.

If they made it to the Altar, even just one of them, the situation could become treacherous.

Without the restriction of the spiritual array, a fully restored third-grade evil zombie would be terrifying.

After all, at this time, their greatest strength had just stepped into the mid-phase of the Third Realm.

If minor realms could be ranked, Xiao Mu, Ancestor Xu, the ghost servant, and Zhao Yan's strengths would only be at the early phase of the mid Third Realm.

With this level of strength, it would be nearly impossible for any two of them to fight a fully-restored third-grade evil zombie. They would stand a chance with three teams.

"Seal, go!"

The Seal of the Heavenly Emperor revolved and dropped down. The infinite Emperor's Might immediately blocked between the two third-grade evil zombies, separating them.

The great Emperor's Might immediately intimidated these two third-grade evil zombies, instilling fear in them.

This was the Emperor's Might, infinitely suppressing all creatures.

"Ahh.."

A third-grade evil zombie tried using evil energy to break the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, but the crimson evil energy was immediately purified by the Emperor's Might released by the Heavenly Seal.

The third-grade evil zombie immediately sustained considerable damage, howling in pain.

Over at the decaying room, the moment the third-grade evil zombie left, Ah Qing, Gang Shou, and Qin Wenruo immediately appeared and rushed into the room.
