System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

"Hahaha, as expected of someone who managed to overcome so many obstacles to appear here, you have some knowledge, but that's all. Gu Masters and Guanshan Taibao are nothing!"

Accompanied by the sound, three middle-aged men who looked to be in their forties descended from the sky like immortals.

"They're up to no good, everyone be careful!"

Uncle Wu gave a reminder and then drew his pistol, aiming it at the person in the middle.

The others also drew their weapons and stood ready for battle.

Even Zhang Qilin, who had been resting on the sidelines, looked solemn. He flashed forward, drew his black gold ancient sword, and stood in front of him.

And then there's A-Ning, who was severely injured by the blood-covered man and has been resting nearby.

Now, seeing these people descend from the sky, their expressions became extremely solemn.

She got up from the corner and walked quickly to Zhang Hao and the others, looking up at the three people descending from the sky.

As the three people who suddenly appeared landed, a stench of corpses assaulted the nostrils.

"It's really strange. They are clearly alive, but they smell like corpses."

"Third Uncle, could they have also grown up eating the flesh of the dead?"

Wu Tianzhen remembered the boatman she met on the way here. He had grown up eating human flesh and had a stench of corpses on his body, which helped him avoid attacks from corpse beetles.

"No, the stench from the boatman's body is far less intense than that from these people; their bodies should already be dead."

Uncle Wu's words were contradictory; the body was dead, yet the person was alive—a sight he had never seen before.

"They are the people behind it all. It was their map of the Sanbru Palace that lured people here. They also replaced the eyes of the Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse. The picture on the bronze coffin that says there is an elixir inside should also have been put there by them."

Based on the information in his mind, Zhang Hao was certain that these three people were the masterminds behind the scenes; they were the ones who possessed other people's bodies and gained immortality.

Their purpose in doing this is easy to understand: their current bodies are no longer usable, and they need to occupy new bodies, otherwise they will truly die.

The three people who suddenly appeared landed lightly on the ground. Their eyes swept over everyone present, and finally all three eyes fell on Zhang Hao.

"Young, handsome, and possessing a special bloodline, this body has unlimited potential!"

"None of you are allowed to take it from me!"

Their gaze then fell upon Zhang Qilin.

"This body is also good. Although its potential is not that great, it is still quite rare. We have really struck gold this time, with two such good bodies appearing."

"Brothers, you've both made your choices, what about me?"

"Isn't there still him?"

The three of them finally looked at Wu Tianzhen and burst into laughter.

"Who are you people? What are your goals? If you want to hurt someone, you'll have to get over my dead body."

Pan Zi gripped his machete and stepped forward, shielding the crowd behind him.

The three men didn't even glance at Pan Zi. One of them flipped his hand, and a tremendous force slammed into Pan Zi from the void.

"Wow!"

Pan Zi was sent flying four or five meters away and crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

This scene shocked everyone.

Without even making contact, he sent the person flying with a single palm strike in mid-air; it was practically the work of a celestial being.

If it weren't for the stench of corpses and the sinister aura that couldn't be hidden on their faces, it would be easy to mistake them for legendary immortals.

"Panzi, how are you?"

Wu Tianzhen rushed over to help Pan Zi up, and seeing his pale face, she couldn't help but worry.

“They are very strong. I’ll hold them off for a bit. You, Xiao Hao, and Third Master, run away quickly.”

As a retired special forces soldier, Pan Zi was already among the most capable ordinary people.

Such formidable strength was actually swatted away by a single palm strike from thin air, demonstrating the terrifying power of the three who suddenly appeared, far beyond his capabilities.

Even though Zhang Hao is very strong, Pan Zi believes he is no match for these people.
