Chapter 624: Chapter 311: Thanks for the Gifts of Nature!_1

The bitter cold of winter was fierce, and the snowstorm raged!

Within the palace walls, hordes of corpses surged, like a vision of hell!

Quan Sangin couldn’t defeat Lin Baici, but he wouldn’t be killed in one blow either. Faced with Lin Baici’s sudden turn and leg sweep, Quan Sangin violently leaned back, his upper body instantly parallel to the ground. Having dodged Lin Baici’s kick, he supported himself on his hands on the icy surface, and with a leg sweeping upward from below, he aimed for Lin Baici’s chin.

After one move, Lin Baici made no attack but instead ran forward, neatly dodging the leg in the process.

Crack!

After Quan Sangin completed a backflip and landed, he crouched down, poised to spring forth like a hunting cheetah, when three Flying Stones hit near where he was about to step on the ice.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The already cracked ice formed even more spiderweb-like fractures but did not shatter. However, when Quan Sangin tried to sprint, his own force caused him to break through the ice, and he half-fell through.

Lin Baici, listening to the sound of the splash behind him, wasn’t surprised; he never intended to kill Quan Sangin. That kick was to distract Quan’s attention--the real killer move was the Clay Human shattering the ice layer.

After Quan Sangin fell into the cold lake water, he shivered violently, and then, watching the retreating figure of Lin Baici, he shivered even more intensely.

"What have I done?"

Quan Sangin shook his head vigorously, his gaze unintentionally landing on the torch in Lin Baici’s hand--that flame, warm, soft, bright, like a mother’s embrace.

"Xiba, that’s another top-tier Divine Prohibition!"

Quan Sangin quickly averted his eyes, his heart filled with envy.

Why did Lin Baici, so young, have so many Top-tier Divine Prohibitions!

Could he really be Xia Hongmian’s little lapdog?

Did he obtain them with his own power?

Even Jin Xian, who was proclaimed as a once-in-a-century genius by Sejong, didn’t have as many great items at Lin Baici’s age!

But this guy was truly strong!

In the brief exchange, had Lin Baici been intent on killing, Quan wouldn’t have died but he would have been skinned alive.

"Quan Sangin, stop daydreaming and fight the monsters!"

Lin Baici roared.

Xia Hongyao and Yi Jisheng spread out, drawing away some of the living corpses, but still, many were lunging at Lin Baici.

Lin Baici, with a flick of his left hand, threw out a Bronze Sword!

Whiz!

The Dragon Tooth, trailing a green afterimage, swept across the necks of seven palace maid corpses.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Seven swollen heads dropped, rolling away, but they still weren’t dead; the headless bodies kept charging, but without facial features, their ability to capture the enemy drastically declined.

Lin Baici fought his way through, swinging the Songmu torch fiercely!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Even though the palace maids were soaked, as soon as the Songmu torch’s flames touched them, they ignited like wood doused in gasoline, bursting into flames, appearing like giant human candles.

Where they passed, the ice melted, billowing white steam obscuring the view before being blown away by the gusting snow.

Lin Baici wasn’t throwing the sword randomly; he had a tactical purpose.

The headless living corpses were easy to kill, so Lin Baici used positioning and these headless living corpses to block others, ensuring he wouldn’t be overwhelmed.

He didn’t rush to kill Zhao Chunyuan, but first cleared out these palace maid corpses.

"Little Linzi, be careful, these living corpses can’t be killed!"

Xia Hongyao shouted. She had chopped a living corpse into five parts, yet, in the blink of an eye, it reassembled as if made of play-dough.

"Don’t hit them, just run, buy time!"

Lin Baici instructed.

One second!

Two seconds!

Three seconds!

...

True to form as living corpses immune to physical damage, they persisted for over twenty seconds under the burning of the Songmu torch before collapsing with a bang.

When the flames went out, all that was left was a carbonized human-shaped charcoal, emitting the stench of burning fat and black smoke.

"Xiba, this torch is really powerful!"

Quan Sangin sighed. He had seen that blades simply couldn’t kill these living corpses; they were super tough to kill!

In fact, what Quan Sangin didn’t know was that if it were humans ignited by the Songmu torch, they would have been reduced to a pile of black ash in at most three seconds.

"Quan Sangin, you handle these living corpses; draw their attention."

Lin Baici saw Quan coming over and immediately assigned him a task.

Swish!

Lin Baici quickly took out a card and activated it!

Swish!

After a flash of green light, a hundred green Goblins appeared.

They were short, between fifty to sixty centimeters tall, with ugly faces and green skin, wielding large wooden clubs, howling as they rushed toward the living corpses, beating and biting.

But there were ten exceptions; they stood nearly two meters tall, robust and muscular, wearing just a leather skirt, and their weapons were replaced with bigger, thicker Nail Head Hammers, with some flesh still hanging on them.

Orc! Orc!

These Goblins roared, fighting the living corpses fearlessly and ferociously.

"Xiba, what are these now?"

Quan Sangin was stunned. How many good things did Lin Baici have on him?

"What are you dazing for?"

Lin Baici reprimanded, catching the Bronze Sword with a slap of his hand.

"Oh! Oh!"

Quan Sangin agreed promptly and hurried to restrain the living corpses. It was clear that Lin Baici was gearing up to challenge the final boss. Just that courage and boldness alone made him admire him.

If he had Lin Baici’s strength, he would definitely first press gang the cannon fodder to test the boss’s combat strength.

Lin Baici rushed to within thirty meters of Zhao Chunyuan and then leaped forward, lunging towards the center pavilion.
