Otherwise, what’s this ghostly thing in front of us.

"I’ve researched these things before. They’re basically formed by two factors. The first is environmental factors. In this ancient tomb, their bodies undergo a corpse transformation, or rather, they actually form a new kind of life form. Another is after death, they’re infected with Gu Poison and placed in a sealed environment. While the poison is dormant in a sealed state, it gets activated once it senses the Yang energy of a human. Once activated, it will follow the aura of a living person and start killing until everyone is eliminated!"

"Um..."

Su Xuan was momentarily speechless, feeling a wave of shock in his heart. He could actually sense that this was likely caused by Gu Poison. The formation conditions for a corpse transformation are complex, and perhaps here, it’s difficult to trigger such a change.

And in this region, located in Miaojiang, it’s more likely to be Gu Poison, as the Gu Poison from Miaojiang is famously potent.

Su Xuan thought to himself, damn it, these feudal customs are really harmful. When people are alive, they’ve protected you their whole life, but now even in death, they still have to guard your tomb. This is really a pitfall.

"Is there any special method?"

Su Xuan asked, as this thing was quite similar to the Thief Saint controlled by the Gu Emperor. He had just pierced it with over a dozen swords, leaving several holes in its body, but what use was that, after all.

"Try decapitating it!"

Su Xuan rapidly spun his body, and with the Heroic Sword in his hand, he unleashed a strike like lightning. However, the target blocked it directly with that Eight-foot Long Spear, and although the movements seemed slow, it always managed to block attacks aiming at its vital points.

"Bang!"

A crisp collision sound rang out, and Su Xuan immediately felt a punch hit his chest, forcing him back dozens of steps.

"Damn it..."

Su Xuan hadn’t expected to encounter such a powerful adversary, which was completely beyond his expectations. This guy’s combat prowess surpassed anything he could imagine: strong, difficult to harm, and with reaction speed that’s scarily quick. It was absurd.

"You all withdraw first, quickly..." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Faced with such an indestructible opponent, even Su Xuan found it troublesome!

Huo Qiyin and others quickly retreated. After they withdrew, Luo Tianyi drew the Chasing Wind Sword and stood by Su Xuan’s side, fighting alongside him.

"Big Brother Su, I’ll help you!"

"Nonsense, get out!"

Su Xuan shouted loudly, well aware of how formidable this Golden-faced Man was. If it really came down to a fight, he was no match for it.

"I won’t leave you alone, I’ll distract him!"

Luo Tianyi said, taking a step forward and kicking out swiftly. Although Luo Tianyi’s kick was powerful, it was unfortunately difficult dealing with something devoid of pain receptors.

Directly swatted away by the opponent’s wave, Su Xuan quickly dodged, appearing behind, grabbing him. With a huge impact force, both of their bodies instantly flew backward, and the Golden-faced Man hurled the Eight-foot Long Spear toward them.

Su Xuan was shocked, quickly thrusting out the Heroic Sword, "Clang"—his sword severing the spear’s guard ring, yet the spear still whirled toward them.

Su Xuan hastily discarded the Heroic Sword to the side, channeling a surge of Dark Strength. As this power gathered between his palms, he struck out fiercely.

"Buzz..."

In that instant, the spear hovered before Su Xuan, spinning rapidly under the neutralizing force of his Dark Strength.

"Roar..."

The Golden-faced Man suddenly leaped up, striking with a palm, making the spear, initially about to be deflected by Su Xuan’s Dark Strength, suddenly thrust toward him.

"Pshhh!"

Su Xuan’s Dark Strength was shattered instantly, truly wanting to scream curses—how absurd, this isn’t about fearing a zombie’s Kung Fu, but fearing that the zombie knows Inner Strength.

"Watch out!"

Just as Su Xuan’s Dark Strength was broken, a shadow shielded him. Instantly, with a piercing "Pshhh", the spear penetrated his body.

"Uncle Fu..."

Luo Tianyi cried out, as the person protecting them was none other than Uncle Fu.

"Cough... Miss, Uncle Fu can no longer protect you!"

Uncle Fu said, spraying a mouthful of blood, pierced by the Eight-foot Long Spear, blood flowed like water.

"Uncle Fu... how could you be so foolish!"

Su Xuan was also shocked. He hadn’t expected Uncle Fu to sacrifice his life to save him. Even though Su Xuan wasn’t sure he’d avoid harm, as long as he wasn’t fatally hit, he wouldn’t die. However, if injured, escaping would be another matter entirely.

"Cough... Brother Su, if you die, our Miss wouldn’t live alone in this world. It’s worth it if one of me is exchanged for you two. Brother Su, I entrust our Miss to you!"

Uncle Fu said weakly before his vision darkened, collapsing to the ground.

"Uncle Fu..."

Luo Tianyi looked at Uncle Fu lying on the ground, tears streaming down, as the Golden-faced Man charged toward Su Xuan and them.

"Damn it, die already!"

Su Xuan exclaimed, extending his hand into the air toward the longsword on the ground, "Clang"—the sword responded, leaping into his hand, humming sharply, and the spilled blood from Uncle Fu rose drop by drop.

"Ruoshui Swordsmanship!"

Su Xuan shouted, a Water Dragon soared into the sky, then dove at the Golden-faced Man.

"Crash!"

With a burst, the Water Dragon collided with the Golden-faced Man’s mask, shattering it instantly, along with his head.

With a thunderous roar, indeed, the head is the central nervous system. When Su Xuan severed it with Ruoshui Swordsmanship, the guardian’s end came, exiting the stage of history.

Su Xuan quickly saw a Gu crawl out from the now lifeless head, springing toward him. Unfortunately, Su Xuan split it with two swings of the Heroic Sword, slicing the Gu into four parts.

Seeing this, Su Xuan exhaled a long sigh of relief.
