Chapter 64: From Heaven Above

  "Take care of yourself, if I can break the Eternal Crystal, I will come back to find you and help you wash away your murderous intentions." After saying that, the Four-sided Knight sat down on the Golden Lion and suddenly rushed towards the direction where the Undead Altar was located.

  Bai Cangdong originally wanted to chase after him, and charge up the altar of immortality with the four knights, but unfortunately the golden lion's speed was too fast, and he had already disappeared from his line of sight after a few ups and downs.

  He retrieved the miscellaneous armor, summoned the Wind Cicada Silk Armor and the Satin Sword, restored his Viscount Mask attire, and sprinted towards the altar with all his might.

  "I hope I can still catch up with the Four Knights." Bai Cangdong also knew that relying solely on his own strength, it would be difficult to rush onto the altar and shatter the Eternal Crystal.

  Just a short distance away, Bai Cangdong saw the appearance of more than a dozen human corpses on the ground, all of which were incomplete and stained with fresh blood that dyed the rocks red.

  "Roar!" A wolf-headed, bear-bodied creature burst out from the pile of rocks beside him, its massive palm striking out and condensing into an Undying Light Palm Print that was headed straight for Bai Cangdong's skull.

  If it were before, Bai Cangdong would have to use his agility to dodge this undying light, but with the "Po Xie" ability to shatter the undying light, he naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to consume the opponent's undying light.

  The Po Xie sword struck directly at the Undead Light Palm Seal, and the massive sword body collided with the palm seal. The Undead Light burst into pieces, exploding like fireworks.

  The Viscount-level undead, powerful beyond the imagination of Bai Cao Dong, wielded both the Pei Xing Sword and the Yun Luo Sword in hand, and also employed a set of martial skills to engage in a fierce battle with the undead, but was unable to gain any advantage.

  One man and one beast fought until the sky was shattered and the earth cracked, yet they still could not be distinguished as winner or loser.

  The undead had several wounds cut open on his body, and Bai Cangdong's body was also stained with blood. Although he hadn't been injured in a vital spot, the blood continued to seep out nonstop.

  "There is no martial skill that can match the power of a viscount, even if one has a viscount-level weapon, it's still extremely difficult to kill a viscount-level undead." Bai Cangdong stared intently at the undead creature, which glared back at him with equal intensity. The two remained frozen in place, neither daring to make the first move.

  Bai Cangdong's palm, which was gripping the sword, had been sweating continuously. This was his first time encountering such a troublesome undead creature. Even the divine archer hadn't given him as much trouble as this undead creature did.

  After all, he was prepared to deal with the Goddess Archer, and had made all the necessary equipment. But for this one undead creature, he didn't have any understanding at all. Moreover, the opponent was originally a Viscount-level undead creature, and after undergoing the changes of the Undead Altar, its strength had greatly increased, making it very difficult for Bai Cangdong to deal with.

  Quick and agile body, strong and powerful claws, a majestic and almost inexhaustible undead aura, this is an extremely difficult to deal with undead creature.

  So far, no obvious weakness of Bai Cang has been found, and there is no confidence in being able to kill it.

  Bai Cangdong did not dare to make any rash moves, and the undead tribe also did not dare to take action easily. The wounds that Bai Cangdong had left on its body several times made it very cautious.

  "Ah...... Wow......"

  At the critical moment when a man and a beast were confronting each other, a figure suddenly fell from above and happened to hit the undead.

  The undead creature jumped up with a conditioned reflex under the painful stimulation, and knocked the person who was pressing on it to the ground.

  "What a good opportunity." Bai Cangdong didn't hesitate for half a second, and like a sharp arrow, he rushed out. The sword blade of the brocade sword directly drew a whip-like trajectory and slashed past.

  The undead clan dodged the sword light of the Xiang Luo sword in an instant, but a white whirlwind suddenly appeared out of thin air and sucked it in, disrupting its center of gravity.

  Whoosh!

  Bai Cang Dong fiercely threw out the Po Xie Sword, which directly pierced through the undead's body and nailed it to the mountain wall.

  A bright light burst forth, and a shiny piece of armor fell to the ground. Bai Cang walked over to take a look, but it was just a boot.

  Yes, there was only one boot, not a pair. White Eastern picked it up and took a look, it was an item called "Storm Boots", a Viscount-level white silver equipment that could increase the user's movement speed while also enhancing leg-based Viscount-level martial skills.

  "Feng Xian!" Bai Cangdong only now had the mind to take a closer look at the person who fell from the top of the mountain wall, and it turned out to be Miss Feng Xian from the Wind family.

  "Masked Viscount, I didn't expect you to be here too. You even managed to slay the mutated Violent Bear. Both Flower Dance and I underestimated you. What a pity, you'll have to die here with us." Feng Xian spat out a mouthful of blood. She had already been injured before falling from such a great height, but fortunately landed on the unsuspecting Violent Bear, which provided some cushioning that allowed her to preserve her life. If she had fallen directly onto the rocky mountain surface, she would have died instantly.

  "How's your injury?" Bai Cangdong naturally didn't have the idea of replacing Hua Qianwu to eliminate a major enemy, at this time one more person meant one more share of strength, relying on himself was impossible to rush up to the altar and shatter the Eternal Crystal.

  "It's not dead yet, but it will die soon. The altar of immortality is born here, and no one can survive." Feng Xian took out a jade bottle, took a bright red pill and swallowed it into his abdomen, and his complexion improved a lot.

  "That's not certain either. The Four Knights are also here. If we can unite, perhaps we can rush to the altar and shatter the Eternal Crystal." said Bai Cangdong.

  "It's useless, the Hellfire is guarding the altar, and there are also a group of powerful undead like the Eight-eyed Heavenly King. Unless Earl-sama comes in person, we're done for." Feng Xian's eyes lit up when she heard the name of the Four-sided Knight, but soon dimmed again.

  "I won't die waiting here, even if it's a desperate situation. I'll go to the altar of immortality and make a thrilling kill." Bai Cangdong turned around and left. Feng Xian was no longer the confident and controlling eldest miss of the Feng family as before. A person who had lost their fighting spirit was useless to him, and taking her to the Altar of Immortality would only be a burden.

  "Wait, I'll go with you." Feng Xian propped herself up and stood, her expression complex as she called out to Bai Cangdong.

  "You've suffered such a severe injury, going now would be useless, it's better to find a place to hide for the time being. If we're lucky enough to shatter the Eternal Crystal, you can return to the city and rest for a while, that should save your life." Bai Cangdong looked at Feng Xian and saw that her injuries were indeed too severe, she could barely stand up, let alone be of any help.

  "Don't worry, I, Feng Xian, will never be a burden to anyone. I have medicine on me, and after taking it now, I'll only need a moment to recover my strength, and I'll even gradually become stronger. If you don't bring me along, it's equivalent to losing a powerful force." Feng Xian took out an exquisite wooden box, opened it, and directly swallowed the dan pill inside without letting Bai Cangdong see its appearance clearly.

  Bai Cangdong looked at Feng Xian who was lost in thought and didn't speak, Feng Xian's complexion had indeed improved a lot after taking the Dan pill, and her body could still stand steadily.

  "Wait for a moment, then we can set off to the Undying Altar." Feng Xian seemed to have regained his confidence, his expression calm and indifferent, his slender phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, making people feel extremely uneasy, as if being stared at by a venomous snake.

  "We don't have much time to waste, I'll carry you ahead." Bai Cangdong didn't wait for Feng Xian's response and directly went over to hug her, then carried her on his back.

  Feng Xian was still weak and had no strength to resist, so she could only remain silent and let Bai Cangdong do as he pleased.

  Bai Cangdong walked along the iron chain bridge with the wind at his back, heading down into the depths of the abyss. Before long, he saw a group of undead creatures resembling geckos flying quickly towards him from the mountain wall.

  "Hold on tight." Bai Cangdong released one hand that was originally supporting Feng Xian's buttocks, summoned the Po Xie Sword, and the other hand still grasped the iron chain, his eyes fixed intently on those undead rushing from the mountain wall.

  Boom!

  The evil sword directly slashed onto the monster's skull, as it was only a baron-level undead, Bai Cangdong thought that one sword should be enough to settle it. Who knew that this sword merely cut through the scales on the monster's head, but failed to split its skull open? The monster, disregarding the wound gushing with fresh blood, still opened its huge mouth and bit towards Bai Cangdong.

  Bai Cang Dong flew over and jumped onto another iron chain, and with a swift sword strike, he chopped the monster's lower jaw into pieces.

  The undead's vitality was extremely strong, having suffered two severe injuries, yet still recklessly charged towards Bai Cangdong. At this time, the other undead had also rushed over, and Bai Cangdong could only unfold his Emerald Wing, gliding to a more distant iron chain.

  "Those are Black Scale Beasts, with scales and skeletons as hard as iron. After being mutated by the Undead Altar, even a casual Viscount would find it difficult to cut through its bones with one sword. Its weakness is in the seventh vertebra on its back. As long as you insert your sword there, you can easily break its spine and cut it in half." Feng Xian's legs were wrapped around Bai Cangdong's waist, her hands tightly embracing his neck, whispering in his ear.

  Bai Cangdong was overjoyed, recalling the Po Xie sword and summoning the Ling Luo sword in his hand. With a single slash at the charging Hei Ya beast, the Ling Luo sword's eerie glow wrapped around the beast's body, instantly cutting it in two and sending it plummeting into the abyss.

  Knowing the weakness of the Hei Ya beast, Bai Cangdong's silk sword continuously killed, and in an instant, he had cleared out the entire group of Hei Ya beasts. Unfortunately, on this cliff, the dead Hei Ya beasts all fell directly into the abyss, even if they left behind their equipment and life marks, Bai Cangdong couldn't retrieve them.

  Now Bai Qinghao didn't mind those things either. After getting rid of the Black Ape, he continued to advance at full speed towards the direction of the Undead Altar.

  "That's a giant rock snake, its weakness is four feet below the jawbone."

  "That's Iron Arm Ape, its weak point is under its armpit."

  With Feng Xian's help, Bai Cangdong killed many undead along the way and quickly approached the location of the Undead Altar.
