225: Insurmountable mountains

Under the purification of the Supreme Golden Crow's divine light, the Undead Sea, as thick as a mudslide, became clear and thin.

The Undead's pursuit of the Professionals also slowed down.

Those contestants who escaped death ran desperately towards Qin Yang's location.

At this moment, no one questioned Qin Yang's words anymore.

Leaving aside whether the Pope had betrayed the Holy Light.

Just the spawning of this Undead Sea was very suspicious.

This competition definitely had a problem!

"This Undead Sea is too terrifying! It can't really be summoned by the Ice Heart Queen, can it?"

"Whether it's true or not, run towards Qin Yang! I feel like being killed by these Undead will truly mean death!"

"Damn it! The Holy City must come out and explain! What exactly is going on?!"

The contestants ran for their lives, while the Undead, burning with golden flames, still followed closely.

These were Revenge Undead summoned by the Ice Heart Queen, and even while being scorched by the divine light, they would be driven by intense negative emotions to endlessly hunt their prey, even if they were burned down to mere skeletons.

Fortunately, the contestants who made it to the finals were all capable individuals.

The previous collapse was merely due to being caught off guard by the Undead.

Who would have thought that the monsters would just spawn right in front of their faces!

After being freed with Qin Yang's help, most people adjusted their state, summoned their mounts, and advanced towards the safe zone where Qin Yang was.

Before long, they gradually gathered together.

Qin Yang floated in the air, and seeing that most people had entered the designated area, he immediately ordered the Imperial Guards: "Form a circle, set up a defensive formation."

"Wind!"

The 3,000 Imperial Guards, upon receiving the order, immediately transformed into streaks of golden light and rushed towards the Professionals below.

They first cleared out the Undead chasing the Professionals as if cutting melons and vegetables, then quickly formed a circular formation.

The Huben (Tiger Brave) Imperial Guards were in front, and the Yanling (Goose Feather) Imperial Guards were behind.

The Yulin (Feather Forest) Imperial Guards stood in the middle, holding their long halberds.

Seeing this scene, the Professionals all gasped.

When they saw these Golden Armor Warriors from afar, they could sense the power of these summoned beings from their Aura.

But they didn't expect the stats to be so high!

Those Undead also had the strength of Rank 50 to 60.

Outside, they were equivalent to Late Stage Elite Tier combat power, and if there were too many, they would be impossible to deal with.

Yet, in front of these Golden Armor Warriors,

the Undead couldn't even last two rounds!

"These summoned beings are too strong, aren't they? They can kill in one hit!?"

"I was already shocked when I saw they could fly before."

The Professionals, hiding within the Imperial Guards' defense, all breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing how powerful the Imperial Guards were.

At the same time, they were also shocked by the Imperial Guards' strength.

Logically, the more summoned beings there are, the lower their quality.

How did this rule get broken when it came to Qin Yang?

"Which daring person will check the attributes of these summoned beings? I feel they are at the Grandmaster Tier."

A female Professional holding a rapier whispered.

This person was Margaret, the legitimate daughter of the Rose Family from the Lionheart Kingdom.

As a noble, she was disheveled, her armor damaged, looking extremely messy, so much so that the surrounding Professionals did not recognize her identity.

This was also a good thing.

The naturally proud Margaret did not want others to remember her in such a disheveled state.

But, by an unfortunate coincidence, the person standing next to her was her old rival—Ignitz, the top-ranked male god.

"You're mistaken, Margaret."

At this moment, Ignitz also no longer looked like a male god.

He was dispirited, his face covered in grime, his luxurious robe tattered, and his face smeared with dust.

"Dead sissy! Will you die if you don't call out my name?"

Margaret was speechless.

After Ignitz's shout, many contestants looked over, with no small amount of surprise in their eyes.

It was as if they were saying—

The noble legitimate daughter of the Rose Family?

How did she end up looking like this?

Ignitz, however, didn't care about that. He looked at Qin Yang's Imperial Guards and said, "Although I can't see the attributes, I can judge through 'Plant Perception' that the total attributes of these summoned beings have exceeded ten thousand, making them even stronger than the Grandmaster Tier!"

"Total attributes of ten thousand!"

Margaret took a deep breath.

Peak Grandmaster at Rank 90 usually has base attributes between 5600 and 5800.

With a full set of equipment, the total attributes can reach a maximum of 12000.

But that would require a complete set of top-grade purple equipment, and the equipment Rank must not be lower than Rank 80.

And in today's world, not many people can gather a complete set of Rank 80 purple equipment.

Margaret, the legitimate daughter of a top noble Family, only had three pieces of purple equipment, and they were all entry-level Rank 40.

Even these were rare items passed down only to legitimate heirs, not concubines.

"So, we are being protected by two to three thousand fully equipped Peak Grandmaster. I suddenly feel so safe..."

A carefree Professional chuckled foolishly.

But more people felt defeated.

They were all prodigies from all over the world, with Professions no lower than Transcendent Tier, shining like gold wherever they went.

Especially some who possessed Epic Tier Professions, initially thought the gap between themselves and Qin Yang was only one or two tiers, but now it seemed... the difference was not in tiers, but in dimensions.

"Being born in the same era as Qin Yang is a mistake."

"Without Emperors or Monarchs in charge, Qin Yang could single-handedly push through a large city with just these two to three thousand fully equipped Peak Grandmaster."

The contestants' gazes drifted, and their Dao Hearts shattered one after another.

From this moment on, an insurmountable mountain appeared in their hearts.

Among the crowd,

the most anxious was Little Monster Amitabha.

As the future Dominator of the Wilderness Nation, Amitabha came with a mission and a task.

Guided by the spirits of her ancestors, she was to redeem a legendary Professional in the Holy City.

After some analysis, she firmly believed this person was Qin Yang, and she was prepared to fight him.

But now it seemed her mission could not be accomplished.

Let alone Qin Yang, she couldn't even defeat Qin Yang's summoned beings.

Just then, wails and howls echoed.

Immediately, a strong Aura of death assailed them.

Everyone turned to look.

They saw specks of fire flickering in the dark clouds in the sky.

The fire was a faint purple, floating, wandering, flickering.

Inside the dark clouds, a grating sound of 'kaka' was heard, making people's scalps tingle.

Two evil lights flickered in and out of sight within the clouds.

Like a pair of eyes, they watched everyone.

Suddenly, a slender female Professional's legs gave out, and she actually knelt down.

"Th-that's the shadow underworld god!"

The female Professional cried out in panic, her face full of fear.

From her equipment, she was also an Undead Professionals.

And the deity who bestows power upon Undead Professionals is precisely the shadow underworld god... [Retired Emperors: Please urge for more updates~ Don't say 'next time for sure' anymore... T-T]
