“Run! Hurry! Run!”

When Chen Xiaobei and the others who were with him entered the passage, people were running from the deep end of the passage towards the exit trying to escape.

These people all came from different forces, but they all one thing in common – they were all severely injured.

The wounds looked like they had been inflicted by swords, the cuts were deep and practically everyone’s clothes were soaked in blood!

These people were the core disciples and core elders of top-tier ancient factions, and the lowest cultivation among them was Celestial Cultivation.

At those levels of cultivation, it was still considered to be very powerful on Earth.

What sort of creature could inflict such detrimental harm on them?

“Everyone, draw your weapons! Do not let your guard down!”

Chen Xiaobei took out his Dragon’s Edge, and went on extremely high alert.

Behind him, Xiangyu took out his Zhenwu Battle Spear, Six-Eared Macaque took out a long metal staff made of Japanese resources, and Li Xiang took out a machete.

On the other side, Long Zishan called Liu Xuanxin to her side, of which he gave priority to protect.

The werewolves did not use any weapons. Wolf Emperor Dio however, had already ordered the Celestial Cultivation members in his pack to retreat, bringing only four Ethereal Cultivation Wolf Kings with him.

It was due to the fact that four Wolf Kings were so much stronger than four Blood Descendant princes.

With Dio bringing only four Wolf Kings, that meant that he respected Chen Xiaobei’s judgement. The road ahead was going to be even more ardous. Weaklings who entered would surely die.

“So many dead people… So many…”

As they went further into the passage, the more corpses they encountered.

There was even a female disciple of Ancient Tomb faction.

“Fourth Shijie! That’s… That’s fouth Shijie!!!” Liu Xuanxin cried, a deep grief and sadness in her eyes.

Long Zishan frowned. “One cannot go against fate! Before we entered the tomb, I allowed all of you to make your own decisions. Little Four’s death is the consequence of her own choices!”

“I… I want to avenge my fouth Shijie!” Liu Xuanxin gnashed her teeth.

“You’re still new to our faction. I cannot allow you to make your own decisions yet!” Long Zishan shook her head. “You cannot avenge her, for you are not simply strong enough!”

“I…” Liu Xuanxin was speechless.

Every one of the dead lying on the ground were stronger than Liu Xuanxin. If she even attempted to take revenge, she would most definitely die. There was no doubt about it!

Zing!

They continued further inside, and heard the unmistakable noise of a raging battle.

“My god! What is that?”

Chen Xiaobei and the group of people who were with him were completely stunned by what they saw.

At the deepest end of the passage, a sea of monsters poured out like water from a swollen river!

The monsters were all of human form, clad in all-black armor, and holding a Da Qin saber. At first glance, they appeared to be a large army of Qin soldiers who were attacking their enemies.

But they were not human!

They were monsters – their bodies were festering and decomposed with the whites of their bones showing in places. Their eyes were a cobalt blue. Cold and empty, they steamed with a menacing demeanor.

Most importantly, they did not possess the logic and reasoning of a living human being. They were the living corpses of the dead!

Under the bidding of an unknown force, they charged recklessly, vowing never to stop until the last of their enemies have been eliminated!

If these soldiers in black armor must given a description, the only fitting one would be a zombie legion!

They were like the zombies in recent movies, a hoarde of walking dead soldiers. There were tens of thousands of them, flooding into the passage like rushing water.

On top of that, they were unafraid of pain nor death! Until they had completely wiped out each and every trespasser, they would not stop attacking!

Over and beyond that, their speed and strength were around middle-phase of Celestial Cultivation.

That was why the assault that had just taken place earlier maimed or even killed the hundreds of people who entered the passage.

Fortunately, among the hundreds, there were seven demigod rank elites. Although they were frenzied by the sudden attack, they eventually managed to stabilize the situation.

These seven were at the front, slaughtering the soldiers in black.

The others waited by their sides to backing them up, killing any zombies who managed to escape.

Although they had the situation under control, this was just a temporary victory. The seven leaders were not relieved at all.

“How many of these bloody things are there? They just keep coming! We can’t hold them off forever!” Ding Xiadong had sustained some serious injuries so that he had to suffer a pain every time he killed a zombie.

“If I’m not mistaken, this group of soldiers are the Black Mystical Dragonriders of the legends!” Zhou Daoxian said.

“Black Mystical Dragonrider? What is that?” Ding Xiadong frowned.

“I know! I know!” Instead of focusing on killing the zombies, Feng Buchun busied himself trying to take the limelight. “During the reign of Emperor Qin, his armies were nothing like the world had ever seen before! Among the multitudes of Qin’s army, the Black Mystical Dragonrider was the strongest and most powerful of the squadrons! Only the most elite of warriors were handpicked to join the Black Mystical Dragonriders. Only 10,000 were chosen from the entire country! But this troop of 10,000 were molded into invincible legends! The most incredible thing was that during the battle of Changping, the Black Mystical Dragonriders, under the lead of the God of Killing, Bai Qi, pierced through the hearts and bellies of 600,000 Zhao soldiers! They slaughtered the Zhao soldiers, defeating them until finally, they were completely subdued by Qin’s army!”

200,000 of the Zhao soldiers died in the battle, and Bai Qi himself butchered 400,000. That battle established Bai Qi’s title as God of Killing. At the same time, Emperor Qin managed to establish his own kingdom by destroying all six other dynasties! After the battle, Emperor Qin praised the Black Mystical Dragonriders as the ‘undefeatable Divine Army’! Bai Qi himself also said that the Black Mystical Dragonriders had contributed the most to the battle of Changping!”

Feng Buchun spoke with fervor and confidence. He had clearly done his homework on the history of the Qin Empire.

“If this Black Mystical Dragonrider was so strong and powerful, why did they all die in the Emperor’s tomb?” Ding Xiadong asked.

“They were buried alive with the Emperor!” Feng Bucun said. “The Black Mystical Dragonrider was not just incredible at fighting battles, they were also very loyal to Emperor Qin! The popular phrase, worship not the heavens and the earth, worship not gods or Buddhas, but worship Emperor Qin alone’ actually referred to the Black Mystical Dragonriders! When the Emperor dies, in order to prevent the secret location of the emperor’s mausoleum from being let out, the people in charge of choosing the location, building the mausoleum, and burying the Emperor… a total of more than 10,000 people were trapped and buried inside the tomb! The Black Mystical Dragonriders had attended the burial, and they were the ones who actually killed those people! In the end, all 10,000 of the Black Mystical Dragonriders remained in the tomb forever!”

Everyone was stunned by this macabre revelation.

Chen Xiaobei who was listening from afar praised, “What an incredible legion of armies! If their souls are still around, then they’ll be the 10,000 most powerful Combat Spirits!”
