"What did you say?" Zhang Menglong abruptly looked at Kong Lan beside him.

"I said I'm called Kong Lan Heavenly Venerate, isn't that what you said, Brother Zhang? In your ghost-hunting places, they're all called Heavenly Masters or Heavenly Venerates." Kong Lan said dumbfoundedly.

"I barely dare to call myself a Heavenly Master, and you're just making me a Heavenly Venerate?" Zhang Menglong said indignantly.

"My mistake, let's do it again!" Zhang Menglong struck a cool pose, "I said it wrong earlier, you can call me Zhang Divine Venerate!"

At this moment, the human martial artists and the undead all looked at Zhang Menglong as if he were a fool.

"Is this person stupid? Just at the peak of the Heaven-breaking Realm and dares to barge in here, even thinking he can play hero. His limited skills probably mean he'd have to run at the sight of a True Martial Realm undead warrior!" This was the thought of the human martial artists.

"Is this living person out of his mind? How dare he come here to die?" This was the mindset of the undead warriors, who thought, "Who in their right mind would play hero in this ghost place? Do they think they've lived long enough already? Just surviving is already hard enough here, playing hero isn't going to happen, not in this lifetime."

"Listen up, you demons and spirits, release those humans and undead, or I'll make you dissipate in both body and spirit today!"

"Hahaha, where did this greenhorn come from, just entered this world?"

"You don't see such naive kids for hundreds of years, how amusing!"

The undead couldn't help but laugh. Although their realms weren't high, most were only Heaven-breaking level, with few at Mystic-Breaking Realm, and among the undead beasts, only the undead dragon in the sky had reached the Demon Emperor level.

On the Haotian Continent, such strength wasn't weak, but it still wasn't top-tier. Yet in this World of the Dead, they were a living nightmare, and even at the peak of God-breaking or Demon Saint, one would avoid them unless forced to burn their soul, and who would be willing to sacrifice their life if not absolutely necessary?

"Kid, leave quickly, before you're surrounded; take your friend and go!" A human martial artist of the God-breaking realm was using a secret technique to resist a group of Mystic-Breaking undead's joint attack. His soul was already being gnawed at, his attack strength and frequency weakening.

On the other hand, the undead, having devoured a God-breaking martial artist's soul and life force, fought with increasing vigor, even appearing spirited.

"Take out those two idiots for me!" an apparently higher-ranking undead ordered a group of undead warriors to exhaust Zhang Menglong and Kong Lan, then charged forward.

This group of undead numbered only about ten, with the strongest merely at the third tier of the Heaven-breaking Realm, but even a God-breaking martial artist would struggle to escape unscathed if surrounded by them; this was a classic example of overwhelming power through superior numbers.

In their eyes, the two human martial artists weren't even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth, but orders were orders, and they dared not disobey, as even the smallest prey was still a meal.

However, that human martial artist didn't even move; instead, a young sub-human, wearing strange robes, charged ahead.

An undead warrior raised his sword and thrust it at Kong Lan's chest. Everything they carried had undergone a transformation upon death entering this world, so their weapons acted directly on human souls, causing devastating damage.

Yet Kong Lan neither dodged nor avoided, letting that sword stab into his chest!

But the sword didn't harm Kong Lan's soul; the kasaya he wore emitted a golden Buddha's Light blocking the strike! The Buddha's Light even carried a deadly effect on undead, causing the unfortunate undead warrior to begin smoking, as if a severe chemical reaction occurred.

"Ah!" he screamed miserably, as every area lit by the Buddha's Light burned with a green flame that signaled the fall of undead. Just like that, without even moving, Kong Lan erased the undead with just this "reflective armor."

He immediately absorbed the Soul Fire, causing his soul energy to visibly swell; to him, a sub-human at the peak of the True Martial Realm, the soul energy of this Heaven-breaking undead was very nourishing!

"What kind of technique is this?" The other undead, witnessing the bizarre scene, were at a loss.

"There's something strange about his clothes!"

"Duh, they look strange!"

"You're not going up, so I will!" Kong Lan swung his Vajra Zen Staff at an undead. The undead didn't expect that this sub-human, barely at the ninth tier of the True Martial Realm, could be so fierce. His strength and speed far exceeded a typical Heaven-breaking martial artist!

He hurriedly raised his staff to block, but Kong Lan's Zen Staff smashed onto his staff, emitting a legendary golden light, breaking the staff into pieces!

"Self-Dominion Earth!" a phantom of a celestial beast suddenly surged from Kong Lan, instantly multiplying his strength several times over.

"Watch as I give your head a red buff!" His Zen Staff came crashing down on the undead's head with another wave of legendary golden light, instantly scattering the undead's body, leaving only the flickering Soul Fire.

But Kong Lan didn't stop attacking; he wrapped a string of prayer beads around his wrists and muttered an incantation, and the beads fired golden rays like a machine gun.

Each undead hit cried out in agony.

Creatures of 3.5 dimensions were hard to harm due to a dimension bug, but the 3.5 dimensions were extremely unstable, and effective attacks amplified the damage. With Kong Lan's current strength, he could definitely wipe out a large number of Heaven-breaking undead.

"He... he can harm these undead!"

"What magical treasures does he have?"

"We also have Artifact Refiners among us, but they can't craft weapons that harm the undead!"

"We have a chance!"

Strong hope surged in the hearts of those human martial artists and demon beasts. If they had such weapons, defeating Ghost King in Ghost City was within reach!

Having absorbed dozens of Heaven-breaking level soul energies, Kong Lan started breaking through!

Zhang Menglong quickly covered him with the kasaya to keep any pesky ghosts from disturbing him.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Zhang Menglong tilted his head.

"Humans, even if you can hurt us, you're just at the Heaven-breaking level!" An undead of the God-breaking realm stepped forward, "A few of you, go back and inform Lord Ghost King that humans have found a way to deal with us!"

A few Ghost Soldiers received the order and left, but most undead remained still.

"Not leaving, huh?" Zhang Menglong summoned a cluster of Samadhi True Fire in his left hand. This flame was lethally effective against the undead, and even from hundreds of meters away, they could feel its destructive power.

Zhang Menglong drew a yellow talisman with his right hand, "When soldiers fight, they'll array before you!"

He tossed the talisman, and it turned to ash in the air. However, the ash began to coalesce, forming a giant clad in golden armor with three heads and six arms!

"Acala!" Zhang Menglong connected with the giant through spiritual power. The giant possessed the ability to harm the undead and could share Zhang Menglong's power. After enduring extensive tribulation thunder, Zhang Menglong's body had undergone Physical Sanctification, comparable to an ordinary Demon Saint!

Zhang Menglong revealed a smile, "It's hunting time!"
