CHAPTER 574: 564

The three of them stood on the mountain peak, overlooking the valley from all sides. Apart from the entrance directly in front of them, there weren’t many skeletons on the other three sides of the valley. Moreover, none of them were climbing towards the peak of the mountain. As long as they could block the entrance, staying in the valley for the time being was relatively safe.

BOOM!

CRACK!

The sound of distant battles was incessant. Qin Feiyang looked up. But since it was night, and a blood-red fog obstructed their vision, they couldn’t see the situation on the other side clearly.

Lu Xingchen laughed and said, "Brother Qin, based on your skills, you should be able to deal with that skeleton, right?"

"Isn’t that obvious?" Fatty said arrogantly. "With Boss’s strength, handling one more wouldn’t be a problem, let alone two."

Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes at him and shook his head, saying, "Are you exaggerating? One must not underestimate the power of the black skeleton. It is an undead, but I do have some confidence in dealing with it."

"Aren’t you also an undead?" Fatty gave a smug smile.

"What?" Lu Xingchen looked at Qin Feiyang with surprise and suspicion. "Brother Qin is an undead? Could it be that Brother Qin is also a transformed skeleton?"

"Uh..." Fatty was taken aback. Is this guy’s imagination too wild?The ’undying’ he referred to was the War Technique. Once Qin Feiyang activated the War Technique, how was he any different from the undying?

Seeing Fatty’s expression, Lu Xingchen knew that he must have misunderstood and said with a smile, "Brother Qin, don’t you find this tiresome? If it were just us, I guess it would be more relaxed."

"It’s not just tiring, it’s extremely tiring," Fatty grumbled immediately. "Boss, Master Fatty really doesn’t know why you decided to go with them in the first place."

"We’ve already come this far. Even if there is a lot of dissatisfaction, we’ll have to wait until we get out of the plain to discuss it," Qin Feiyang said.

Fatty glanced at the people in the valley below him and snorted, "Master Fatty doesn’t want to waste another second with these pigs."

"Just bear with it!" Qin Feiyang laughed.

"Hey!" someone in the valley below suddenly exclaimed. "Come have a look, why is there another iron sword there?"

"An iron sword?" The three of them were shocked and quickly jumped down, landing in front of the crowd.

Fatty asked in surprise, "Where?"

A disciple pointed towards the hillside on the right.

Qin Feiyang looked up, and his pupils instantly contracted.

On the side of the hill, there was a protruding rock, and right in the middle of that rock, a rusted war sword was embedded.

"Does the presence of a war sword mean there’s also a black skeleton?"

"Senior Brother Qin, Senior Brother Dong, what should we do?"

Seeing the war sword once again, everyone’s hearts were filled not with greed, but with deep fear.

Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow. These people’s mental fortitude... just how weak is it?

"Nobody panic," he said coldly, then turned to Dong Zhengyang. "Shall we go up and take a look?"

"We can look, but don’t act recklessly," Dong Zhengyang said in a deep voice.

"I’m not like some people. I know when to exercise restraint," Qin Feiyang retorted.

WHOOSH!

The two quickly ran to the bottom of the mountain and climbed up.

A few moments later, they climbed onto the rock and carefully approached the war sword.

This war sword was slightly different from the previous one. This sword also had a skull on the hilt, but the blade was only two fingers wide, making it a thin sword. And amidst the rust, a dark glow could be discerned.

The two of them stood in front of the war sword. More than ten seconds passed, but the war sword didn’t change, nor did a black skeleton appear.

"It seems as long as we don’t touch it or try to pull it out, the black skeleton won’t appear." Qin Feiyang frowned. But is there actually a black skeleton here or not?

Dong Zhengyang looked down at the rocks beneath them and said, "This is all rock; there’s nowhere for it to hide. I don’t think there’s one."

After saying this, he looked up at the war sword, and his eyes began to burn with fervor.

Qin Feiyang quickly stopped him and shook his head, saying, "Even if there isn’t one, don’t act rashly."

Dong Zhengyang immediately stared at him unhappily, but in the end, he didn’t say anything more. Even though it seems fine now, who knows if pulling out the war sword will cause trouble? It’s better not to take the risk.

After observing for another moment, Qin Feiyang turned and jumped down.

But just then, Dong Zhengyang said, "Qin Feiyang, after the Nine States War ends, only one of us can leave the Netherworld alive."

This place immediately filled with a chilling aura.

"I’m always ready." Qin Feiyang paused slightly, uttered these words calmly, and then jumped down.

Compared to Murong Xiong and the others, he respected Dong Zhengyang more. Because Dong Zhengyang wouldn’t employ petty tricks and always acted openly and honorably.

"What happened?" Seeing the two of them return, a group of people immediately surrounded them anxiously.

"Just don’t touch it. Everyone, tend to your injuries quickly. Shen Long and his people also need to rest; we can’t let them keep fighting indefinitely," Qin Feiyang said.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But suddenly, a derisive voice came from outside the valley. "You thought hiding here would keep you safe?"

"It’s him!"

"Why did he come here?"

"Where are Senior Brother Wuhen and Senior Brother Murong Xiong?"

"Could they have been killed?"

Everyone, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt their hearts leap into their throats again.

Because this voice was too familiar—it was the black skeleton!

"Let’s go!" Qin Feiyang’s heart also sank. He waved his hand, leading everyone towards the entrance.

As soon as they reached the entrance, the black skeleton came into view. They could see it about several dozen meters away, walking toward them step by step. The war sword in its hand emitted a chilling black glow, and it was surrounded by a blood-red fog. It looked like a terrifying Ghost Demon walking in the night!
