I transmigrated to a chaotic world and became the sole player.

That malice, like a cold, venomous snake, rushed straight towards the camp from the valley entrance! Lu Zhao instantly rushed out of the hut, his sharp gaze fixed on the direction of the valley entrance.

In the darkness, three figures stood outside the barricades at the valley entrance. The one in the middle was gaunt, dressed in an ill-fitting, tattered Taoist robe, holding a bell and chanting incantations. Beside him floated two solidified, malevolent ghosts with glowing red eyes! The intense, chilling aura emanated from these two ghosts!

[Heretical Sorcerer (???), Level: 5]

Health Points: 100%/100%

[Status: Casting]

[Corpse Refining (Inferior), Level: 3]

Health Points: 100%/100%

[Corpse Refining (Inferior), Level: 3]

Health Points: 100%/100%

[Status: Controlled, Berserk]

A level 5 evil sorcerer! And two level 3 corpse refiners! No wonder he could control remnant souls, so he was the one behind it all!

The tranquility of the camp was shattered. The patrolling young men were terrified at the sight of the horrifying corpses and the eerie sorcerer, and screams and cries filled the air.

"Hmph, a bunch of ants, daring to occupy such a beautiful and spiritual place?" The evil sorcerer chuckled sinisterly, ringing his bell and pointing, "Go! Capture that kid with decent mental strength, and kill the rest!"

Two undead creatures let out a low roar, smashed past the crude giant horses, and charged toward the camp! Their movements were stiff but their strength was immense, easily tearing apart the wooden fences blocking their path!

"Don't panic! Form a formation! Use torches!" Master Zhao forced himself to remain calm, directing the able-bodied men to gather together and try to block them with torches. But the refining corpses were not afraid of ordinary flames at all, slapping away several torches with a single blow, and were about to charge into the crowd!

At this critical moment, Lu Zhao made his move!

He knew the principle of capturing the leader first! The sorcerer didn't look particularly strong; as long as he could get close, he would have a chance!

With the [Turtle Breathing Technique] fully activated, Lu Zhao's figure moved like a ghost, bypassing the charging corpses and heading straight for the evil sorcerer at the valley entrance! His speed was astonishing, leaving a trail of afterimages in the night.

"Hmm? Such speed!" The evil sorcerer was slightly startled, but did not panic. He shook the bell in his hand rapidly, and a piercing "ding-a-ling" sound rang out.

The two zombies that had been charging towards the camp seemed to receive a command. They suddenly turned around, abandoned their attack on the refugees, and flanked Lu Zhao from the left and right! They opened their foul-smelling mouths, revealing sharp teeth, and their claws aimed straight for Lu Zhao's vitals!

"Watch out!" Master Zhao exclaimed.

Lu Zhao remained calm under pressure, his [Refining Spirit Technique] already at its peak! His powerful mental strength gave him an incredibly clear perception of his surroundings, and the attack trajectories of the two refined corpses seemed to be slowed down in his eyes!

He suddenly ducked and slid, narrowly slipping between the two zombies, while simultaneously swinging his machete to strike the left zombie's knee joint!

[Attack hits the weak point! Deals damage to the Corpse Refiner (inferior quality)! HP -10%!]

The corpse-refining process paused. Lu Zhao didn't stop, got up and continued charging towards the sorcerer, closing the distance to less than ten steps!

"You're courting death!" Seeing Lu Zhao's ferocity, the evil sorcerer's eyes flashed with a fierce light. With his other hand, he took out a black talisman from his pocket, chanted an incantation, and the talisman instantly ignited, transforming into a black arrow that shot towards Lu Zhao like lightning!

A wave of malevolent energy washed over him! Lu Zhao could sense the corrosive energy contained in these black arrows, an energy that his physical body could not withstand!

There's no way to dodge it! It's too fast!

In that critical moment, Lu Zhaofu had a sudden inspiration, and he frantically unleashed most of his spiritual power, condensing it into an invisible spiritual shield in front of him! This was his new understanding of the use of spiritual power after upgrading his [Refining Spirit Technique]!

"puff!"

The black arrow struck the mental shield with a muffled thud. The shield trembled violently, nearly collapsing. Lu Zhao felt as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer; he felt dizzy, and his mental energy was instantly depleted by more than half!

But in the end, they managed to block it!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Zhao rushed in front of the evil sorcerer! The sorcerer was clearly not expected that his talisman attack would be blocked, and his face showed astonishment.

"die!"

Lu Zhao roared, his woodcutter's knife, imbued with all his strength and boiling killing intent, slashing straight at his opponent's face! This strike was fast, ruthless, and precise, embodying all his combat experience and insight into weaknesses!

The evil sorcerer hastily raised his bell to block.

"Snap!"

The axe struck the bell, producing a piercing metallic clang! The bell was sturdy, but the force of Lu Zhao's strike far exceeded his opponent's expectations! The immense impact caused the sorcerer excruciating pain in his arm, forcing him to stagger backward, the bell flying from his grasp!

"My magical artifact!" the warlock cried out in anguish.

Lu Zhao, seizing the advantage, pressed his advantage, and with a swift turn of his blade, slashed horizontally towards the sorcerer's neck!

The sorcerer was terrified and, no longer caring about his appearance, rolled away in a flustered manner, screaming, "Quick! Kill him!"

The two reanimated corpses had already turned and pounced. But without the precise command of the bell, their movements were noticeably slower.

How could Lu Zhao let this opportunity slip by? He completely ignored the corpse-refining behind him, his eyes only on this evil sorcerer! He followed him like a shadow, his wood-chopping knife turning into streaks of cold light, relentlessly pursuing him.

The warlock himself had extremely poor melee ability and relied entirely on evil magic and corpse refining. At this moment, he was forced into a frantic state by Lu Zhao's desperate fighting style, and soon he had several wounds on his body, and his health bar began to drop.

"Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!" The warlock was enraged. He bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and formed hand seals, about to unleash an even more powerful evil spell that would lead to mutual destruction!

Lu Zhao's pupils contracted; he sensed a deadly danger! He absolutely could not let him complete it!

Without hesitation, he concentrated all his remaining spiritual power, transforming it into an invisible spiritual spike, and fiercely stabbed it towards the sorcerer's brow and sea of ​​consciousness!

This is the most direct and dangerous psychological impact!

"ah!!!"

The sorcerer's hand seals came to an abrupt halt, accompanied by a piercing scream. He clutched his head, blood seeping from his seven orifices! The evil spell he was condensing had been forcibly interrupted, resulting in a severe backlash!

[Mental attack successful! The evil sorcerer has been severely damaged and is now in a state of confusion!]

opportunity!

Lu Zhao stepped forward, and without hesitation, the woodcutter's knife slashed across the other man's throat!

"Ugh..." The evil sorcerer's scream came to an abrupt halt, his eyes filled with resentment and disbelief, as he slowly collapsed to the ground, his health bar reduced to zero.

[Successfully defeated the 'Evil Sorcerer' (LV5)!]

[Experience points gained: 200!]

[Level upgraded to Level 4!]

[Items obtained: Broken Soul-Summoning Bell x1, Yin Talisman x3, "Miscellaneous Records of Corpse Raising" x1.]

With the warlock's death, the two molten corpses that had pounced on Lu Zhao's back froze instantly, like puppets without strings. The red light in their eyes went out, and they fell straight to the ground, turning into two ordinary, rotting corpses.

The corpse refining process (inferior quality) has gone out of control and has failed.

Crisis averted!

Lu Zhao leaned on his sword, panting heavily, his forehead covered in cold sweat. The battle just now, though brief, had been extremely dangerous, especially the final mental assault, which had almost exhausted his strength.

The camp was deathly silent. Everyone stared in disbelief at Lu Zhao, who stood proudly at the entrance of the valley with the sorcerer's corpse lying at his feet, as if he were a war god.

Under the moonlight, the boy's figure was not tall, but he possessed a captivating fierceness and...mystery.
