195: Seize control

At the critical moment, Gu Qinghan summoned the Crow King.

Of course, he wasn't sending the Crow King to its death.

Black feathers suddenly appeared in this space, and crows flew out in all directions, actively crashing into those invisible arms.

When those invisible arms grabbed at the crows, the crows suddenly exploded into a cloud of feathers.

Gu Qinghan did not withdraw the poisonous fog. In the brief time the Crow King bought him, his mind raced.

His Skeletons couldn't be used at a time like this, and other Death Mutated Creatures besides the Crow King weren't of much use.

So, how many professional abilities did he still have that could be put to use?

The only way he could damage the phantom controlling the demon was to rely on the Death Swordsman.

But now, the Death Swordsman was trapped.

Gu Qinghan looked at the encircled Death Swordsman. To break the situation, he first had to get the Death Swordsman out of the encirclement.

But then another problem arose: the demon's power was far stronger than professional abilities. What could he do?

"These corpses can't be put into the necromantic space after being controlled, otherwise it would be much easier."

Gu Qinghan dodged the invisible arms while frowning in thought.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the corpses attacking the Death Swordsman.

"Corpses! I can use Corpse Impact!"

Gu Qinghan didn't know if it would work, but he had to act now.

He unleashed a Corpse Impact towards that area, consuming a lot of mana, but there was no reaction.

The consumption of mana indicated that the skill had indeed been cast.

But the result told Gu Qinghan that the controlling demon's control over these corpses seemed to be far superior to his own.

Gu Qinghan did not give up. He gritted his teeth and directly used Crippling Curse to envelop the entire room.

Immediately after, he frantically cast Corpse Impact; this was his only method at the moment.

Under the influence of Crippling Curse, the damage the Death Swordsman inflicted on those corpses was significantly higher.

However, Gu Qinghan would surely be caught before they fell.

The phantom of the controlling demon seemed only capable of this much, but even so, Gu Qinghan appeared extremely disheveled.

He looked at this scene and let out bursts of evil and unpleasant laughter.

Gu Qinghan directly prostrated himself on the ground; the invisible arms that could control people had already occupied all the space above.

The Death Swordsman also seemed to sense Gu Qinghan's danger and completely abandoned defense, yet still couldn't break through.

Gu Qinghan gritted his teeth and directly summoned several of his Skeletons, hoping to buy a little more time.

The moment these Skeletons appeared, they immediately pounced on Gu Qinghan, blocking the invisible arms.

The next second, the soul flames in their eyes suddenly dimmed.

Their skeletons trembled, as if trying to break free from this control.

However, all they could do was refrain from attacking Gu Qinghan.

More and more invisible arms appeared until the soul flame in one Skeleton's eyes completely extinguished.

This Skeleton was a Berserker Skeleton, yet it only lasted a few seconds.

When the huge bone axe fell powerlessly to the ground, Gu Qinghan's eyes turned red.

Unlike those Temporary Workers, these Skeletons had been with him for a long time.

It might seem absurd to some, but Gu Qinghan had deep feelings for these Skeletons.

They were like Gu Qinghan's soldiers, bringing him victory after victory.

Compared to those complicated people, these loyal Skeletons brought Gu Qinghan more than just a sense of security.

"Just once, even if it succeeds just once!"

Gu Qinghan stared intently at the spot where he was casting Corpse Impact. He refused to believe that out of so many attempts, not one would succeed.

Just as he mechanically prepared to repeat the next skill cast, one of the corpses suddenly stiffened.

The next moment, under his control, this corpse crashed into an adjacent corpse.

It was this brief instant that the Death Swordsman seized the opportunity and directly rushed out of that gap.

It didn't charge directly at the phantom, but instead rushed towards Gu Qinghan.

With a few slashes, the invisible arms around Gu Qinghan instantly disappeared.

"Tear him apart for me!"

Gu Qinghan's voice was incredibly cold at this moment. He looked at the extremely distorted controlling demon phantom and issued his command to the Death Swordsman.

The Death Swordsman transformed into a black blur, charging towards it.

He couldn't directly charge to the phantom's face; he still needed to pass through the area of those corpses.

And the corpse whose control Gu Qinghan had seized was now charging towards Gu Qinghan.

Gu Qinghan understood that his abilities could absolutely not outplay the controlling demon's phantom.

However, if there was one less corpse here, the opponent's power would weaken by one point!

As he reabsorbed this corpse, the Death Swordsman had already plunged its greatsword into the ground.

When it was pulled out again, black aura Entanglement, directly striking one of the corpses.

Empowered by the black aura, the greatsword directly cleaved the corpse into two halves.

When they fell to the ground again, they could no longer stand up.

At the same time, Gu Qinghan continued to use his skills, trying to relieve some pressure for the Death Swordsman.

When Gu Qinghan seized control of the second corpse, only two active corpses remained in front of the Death Swordsman.

And the controlling demon phantom, who had been laughing wildly before, no longer had its previous arrogance.

He looked at Gu Qinghan, then at the Death Swordsman, and suddenly laughed:

"If my true body were to descend, you would already be..."

"There are no 'ifs.' By the time your true body can descend, I will have already grown stronger.

The result will be the same; just wait for death."

Gu Qinghan sneered, directly interrupting the other party.

The Death Swordsman struck down another corpse, but the controlling demon phantom said to Gu Qinghan:

"You know nothing of the power of demons. I am just an ordinary mid-tier demon.

Have you ever thought about how you would die if a demon even more powerful than me appeared?

Or have you already prepared yourself to be torn to shreds by us?"

The demon phantom's laughter grew increasingly wild. This phantom's power was too weak.

But even without other means, he still wanted to create some wavering in Gu Qinghan.

The Death Swordsman had now cleared the obstacles and rushed in front of the opponent.

As the black greatsword pierced the controlling demon phantom, Gu Qinghan's voice slowly rang out:

"If your descent was so simple, this game wouldn't need to be played, would it?"

The Death Swordsman swept its greatsword, cleaving the controlling demon phantom in half.

The invisible arms in the surrounding space had now disappeared, but the Death Swordsman did not directly disperse the phantom.

Gu Qinghan slowly walked over. He looked at the incomplete phantom, as if wanting to remember its appearance.

"If one day I can enter the abyss where you reside, I will kill you with my own hands.

We both need to abide by the rules of this game, don't we?"

Gu Qinghan's lips slowly curved into a bright smile.

But when the controlling demon saw this smile, it suddenly felt a chill deep within its soul.

It had always been they, the demons, who made enemies feel fear; they could even use lies to deepen this fear.

However, the enemy they encountered this time seemed to be different.

The black greatsword was raised high and then fell, the entwined black aura instantly devouring the controlling demon phantom.

The controlling demon phantom slowly disintegrated. In its final moments, it saw Gu Qinghan's eyes.

Those eyes were as still as an ancient well, as deep as the night sky.

At the same time, within those eyes, there was also an intense, undeniable killing intent!
