"Tai Bo! You killed Tai Bo?"

Gu Guan turned pale and tried to flee.

With Tai Bo dead, there was no point in him staying. It would just be a pointless death.

"Where do you think you're going?"

The Ghost Servant's figure abruptly disappeared, sinking into the ground, and reappeared in front of Gu Guan, blocking his path.

Boom!

With a swift swing of the Ghost Servant's Soul Knife, the Blade Aura and Blade Formation erupted at the same time, descending upon Gu Guan's head.

At the same time, a black Soul Treasure, similar to a round bead, was hurled towards Gu Guan's head.

"You dare to stop me?"

Gu Guan shouted, desperately fighting for his life.

He did not dodge the Ghost Servant's attack because evasion meant death.

Indifferent to the Ghost Servant's attack, he grabbed the Sharp Gold Line with both hands, slicing at the Ghost Servant, while simultaneously using his Sword Art of Internal Sword, creating a Sharp Gold Sword in the Ghost Servant's gut.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Soul Knife slashed into Gu Guan's chest, nearly cleaving his corpse in two. The Blade Aura and Blade Formation exploded at once, blowing his chest apart.

The Soul Treasure struck the top of Gu Guan's head, caving in half of his skull.

Yet, he didn't step back. He pulled on the Sharp Gold Line, making a downward diagonal cut across the Ghost Servant's shoulder.

How deadly sharp was the Sharp Gold Line? It left a gash on the Ghost Servant's shoulder that was several dozens of centimeters deep, almost slicing off half of its body.

A stir in his stomach, and it seemed the Sharp Gold Sword was about to break out of the Ghost Servant's belly.

Fortunately, the Ghost Servant was in a higher Realm than Gu Guan. This blow didn't impact the Ghost Servant too much, and it was quickly suppressed.

You accrue Yin Virtue, deepening the Blessing!

The Ghost Servant wrote with the Judge Pen, its body radiating a strong Auspicious Clouds. The whole Ghost was enveloped in golden fortune.

At the same time, a Golden Thread appeared between the Ghost Servant and Gu Guan, connecting them.

The fortune on Gu Guan's body was sucked away, he fell into decay, while the golden glow on the Ghost Servant intensified.

The Sharp Gold Sword was immediately suppressed, unable to break open the Ghost Servant's belly. Gu Guan's attack on the Ghost Servant also deviated, and the Ghost Servant's wounds rapidly healed.

"How... How is this possible? What secret art is this?"

Gu Guan screamed, his face lost all color.

Boom!

Distracted, Xiao Mu launched a Five Elements Separation Slash. The five-colored giant Sword descended from above Gu Guan's head.

The already injured Gu Guan was completely unable to block it and was cleaved in two by the sword.

"You..."

Gu Guan's face was filled with resentment before his death. His body toppled to either side, a great amount of Five Elements aura gushing from the wound. A portion of his blood and flesh dispersed into the Five Elements.

Energy Points +60.

Gu Guan hadn't cultivated the Two Forces of Life and Death, nor had he cultivated any resurrection-related secret arts. After his body was split in half, he died immediately.

"I'm sorry, I really am. If I don't kill you, you will kill me!"

Filled with remorse, Tian Xiang took out another Cloth Doll, waved it at the King, and then tore its limbs off. Like the Scholar, the King was left limbless.

"I'm sorry, but you wanted to kill me first. I was just defending myself. Please don't blame me when you're dead!"

After the Scholar and the King were both limbless and thus, totally powerless, remorseful Tian Xiang didn't show any mercy. She grabbed the heads of the two Cloth Dolls and twisted them. The Scholar and the King's heads fell off one after another, they collapsed dead on the ground.

Boom!

Boom!

After killing Gu Guan, Xiao Mu immediately turned his attention to the ordinary Zombies. He repeatedly swept with the Five Elements Separation Slash, slaying one Zombie after another.

Energy Points +10, Energy Points +15…

The Ghost Servant also seized the opportunity to kill the Taoist, using the Soul Treasure to smash him to death.

Soon, only Xiao Mu, Tian Xiang, and the Ghost Servant remained on the battlefield.

"Mr. Mu, thanks to your help, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have been able to complete the task."

Tian Xiang came over and sincerely thanked Xiao Mu.

Tai Bo's power had been unexpectedly strong. If Xiao Mu hadn't helped, she wouldn't have just failed the task—she probably would have died in the Towering Giant City.

She was deeply grateful to Xiao Mu.

"You're too kind, I was just getting the job done for the pay. Just remember to give me the Borrowing Bead."

Xiao Mu waved his hand dismissively.

"I definitely won't forget."

Tian Xiang nodded earnestly. Then, cautiously asked, "Mr. Mu, I know where the Treasure Vault in the Towering Giant City is. Before we finish the task, could we search through the vault first?"

"According to rumors, the vault contains a lot of resources that King Dayang had prepared for himself after his breakthrough. Just the Energy Fruits alone are rumored to be in the thousands."

Even when it came to collecting treasures, she still consulted with Xiao Mu, not making any rash decisions.

"That's just what I thought, you're too polite."

Xiao Mu smiled in acceptance. As for collecting treasures, he was extremely interested.

"I know where the Treasure Vault is, Mr. Mu, let me take you there."

Afterwards, Tian Xiang took Xiao Mu and headed deeper into the Towering Giant City, the enormity of which again exceeded Xiao Mu's expectations.

The size of this temporarily constructed city was not at all inferior to that of a normal small county.

They encountered scattered Zombies multiple times along the way, all of which were casually slain by Xiao Mu, providing him with a good amount of Energy Points.

The number of Zombies in the massive Towering Giant City was surprisingly high, and Xiao Mu estimated that after this mission, he would gain enough Energy Points to mutate his advanced life and death secret arts.

The two of them shuttled through the Towering Giant City, and it took about half an hour before they arrived in front of a house made of flesh and blood.

The flesh still seemed fresh, with fresh blood continuously dripping, emitting a repulsive Foul Smell.

Xiao Mu wrinkled his brows slightly. Even the place where Zombies stashed their treasures was so bizarre, he worried whether the Energy Fruits stored inside would still be edible.
