212: The second Death Swordsman

Gu Qinghan indeed had no intention of escaping. The mass of flesh that Seventh had transformed into had by now completely devoured the Zhan Insect.

Gu Qinghan's peripheral vision noted that the surrounding Zhan Insects seemed to no longer harbor that intense hostility towards Seventh.

They were clearly wary of this peculiar existence, but they didn't want to tear it apart directly.

"This guy seems to be merging with the Zhan Insect's body... Could the seven professional abilities he mentioned also have been acquired this way?"

Gu Qinghan had some theories in his mind, but there was no way to confirm them now.

However, Gu Qinghan understood very well that he absolutely had to keep this guy here forever today.

A guy who could devour others' professional abilities, allowing him to develop further was simply unimaginable.

Even from the current situation, it seemed he could also gain certain traits by devouring monsters.

But the number of Zhan Insects below was too great. After their wings were shot through, they plummeted to the ground like damaged aircraft, swaying precariously.

However, as long as they ate the white, maggot-like corpses again, they could quickly take to the sky once more.

From where the giant maggot had previously burrowed out, another maggot of the same size emerged, revealing its head.

It seemed that until the anomalies here were completely eliminated, the riot in this Secret Realm would not cease.

Yet, in Gu Qinghan's view, wasn't this exactly the situation he had wanted to see before?

Although, the number of monsters was a tiny bit more than he had anticipated.

Gu Qinghan condensed a Bone Spear, gathering the power of all the Bone Spears on the ground, and instantly killed another Cang Worm.

This Cang Worm fell to the ground powerlessly, crushing countless Zhan Insects.

But from the sky, this scene was like throwing a large stone into a turbulent current.

The insect swarm remained furious, roaring as if to wipe out all enemies in the sky and on the ground.

"Go, it seems I can only rely on you now."

Gu Qinghan smiled bitterly as he looked at the Death Swordsman; he suddenly realized he didn't have many options left at this moment.

There were ninety professional Skeletons, but they had to transform into Sky Eye Skeletons to shoot down the Zhan Insects flying into the sky.

The Bear King was too clumsy; it was uncertain who would fall to the ground first if he entered the fight.

The Crow King's primary role was interference, and he could barely inflict effective damage on the Cang Worms.

Only Little Black was somewhat capable, but the one with truly sufficient lethality had to be the Death Swordsman.

The Death Swordsman had his own intelligence, Gu Qinghan had always known.

He would obey his commands unconditionally, but in some battle details, he handled them almost perfectly.

And this time, the Death Swordsman did not rush forward directly but revealed something in his hand.

"This is... the Corpse King's head?"

Gu Qinghan saw the grotesque and twisted head, with a layer of black aura swirling at the severed neck, clearly the Death Swordsman's doing.

Unexpectedly, before escaping, the Death Swordsman had completed a decisive blow.

But Gu Qinghan quickly noticed that the Corpse King's eyes seemed to still be moving.

It wasn't completely dead?

The Death Swordsman conveyed a thought to Gu Qinghan, actually asking Gu Qinghan for the right to use this head.

Gu Qinghan didn't know what he wanted to do, but he still nodded.

At a time like this, he could only place all his bets on the other party.

However, Gu Qinghan still glanced at the Corpse King's head and obtained its attributes.

[Corpse King: Lord of the Secret Realm]

There weren't many attributes, but there was also no question mark display like before.

"This might be the strongest monster in the Corpse Tide Secret Realm..."

Regardless, this Corpse King was a very special monster.

And with Gu Qinghan's permission, the Death Swordsman tossed the Corpse King's head high into the air.

Then, the black greatsword pierced it, and a massive surge of Necromantic Power erupted, rushing towards Gu Qinghan.

But suddenly, a burst of black aura erupted from the greatsword, enveloping this Necromantic Power.

Gu Qinghan clearly saw that the vast Necromantic Power seemed to be transforming into black.

Ultimately, that immense Necromantic Power was not absorbed by Gu Qinghan; it swirled above the black greatsword, forming a black vortex.

At this moment, the great door in Gu Qinghan's consciousness seemed to emit a mysterious suction force.

The black vortex, as if summoned, immediately rushed towards Gu Qinghan.

From the slightly open, heavy door, a black figure slowly emerged.

[Death Swordsman requests to establish a master-servant contract with you, to follow you in battle. Do you agree?]

Another Death Swordsman!

Gu Qinghan finally understood at this moment why the Death Swordsman wanted the Corpse King's head earlier.

Gu Qinghan immediately chose to agree, and the black figure in his consciousness slowly faded.

The next moment, from the black vortex in front of Gu Qinghan, a Death Swordsman identical to the previous one slowly emerged.

If the first Death Swordsman was brought out by Gu Qinghan pushing open that great door, then this one appeared, summoned by that black aura.

With the help of the Crows, the two Death Swordsmen quickly approached the Cang Worm swarm's location.

They jumped down one after another, their movements having subtle differences.

The first Death Swordsman to land plunged the greatsword on his back into the body of the Cang Worm beneath his feet, drawing out streams of black aura.

When the second Death Swordsman landed, the greatsword on his back directly activated those black auras, slashing towards the Cang Worm's massive wings!

Their movements were as if they had been practiced countless times, without the slightest deviation!

Gu Qinghan was stunned by this scene; he used to think his Skeletons' coordination was already very strong.

But compared to these two Death Swordsmen, it seemed they were still far behind.

But no matter what, Gu Qinghan understood that his probability of success was now much greater.

He looked at the constantly falling Zhan Insects, then at the mass of flesh below that was still devouring other Zhan Insects.

The other party devouring these Zhan Insects certainly had a specific purpose.

And by killing these Cang Worms, he could complete the advancement trial!

This swarm of Cang Worms numbered at least over a thousand; Gu Qinghan only needed time.

Just then, a few Zhan Insects flying upwards suddenly paused.

The next moment, they sharply turned around and attacked their nearby kin.

Although these few creatures were quickly torn to shreds by their comrades, it did alleviate some of Gu Qinghan's burden.

Gu Qinghan looked up and found that it was Anna and Zhang Kuang who were using their skills.

Zhang Kuang saw Gu Qinghan looking over and couldn't help but shout loudly:

"Although our abilities are limited, we can still help a little!

Big Brother, you can do it!"

Gu Qinghan was also amused by this guy; the other party seemed to have no bottom line, but he did help him out.

The distance from the ground was too great here, so Gu Qinghan couldn't use his Corpse Control; he could only use Crippling Curse to cooperate with the two Death Swordsmen in attack.

In less than a minute, a Cang Worm swayed and fell from the sky.

Gu Qinghan, with quick reflexes, used Corpse Impact on this newly killed Cang Worm, sending it crashing towards the mass of flesh on the ground.

"Screech!"

As the Cang Worm landed, Gu Qinghan seemed to hear a shrill scream from the ground.
