My career has infinite upgrades.

Su Qing looked horrified as she stared at the gun tip approaching her neck, feeling the shadow of death looming over her.

The next moment, a white light shone on Su Qing's trembling chest.

A shield of light appeared, accompanied by a white glow, blocking Gu Qing's attack.

Protective charm!

Moreover, it was a high-level protective talisman, and Gu Qing's attack didn't leave a single mark on it.

Gu Qing showed no surprise in his eyes, nor did he continue to pursue.

The moment the light shield rose, Gu Qing used the force to retreat, increasing the distance between himself and Su Qing.

Su Qing landed on the ground, rolled over, and her staff glowed as she tried to attack Gu Qing, only to find that Gu Qing had already disappeared from her sight.

"Damn it!"

It was only then that Su Qing remembered Gu Qing's abnormal fighting skills. She had thought he was a piece of trash that she could easily crush, but she never expected him to be so troublesome.

"Bang!"

When the light shield reached its limit, it shattered and dissipated into specks of light, making Su Qing's expression even more unpleasant.

This is a platinum-grade protective charm, capable of blocking an attack from a level 20 platinum-grade monster. It's just being wasted like this!

"Haoran! Let's retreat! There's no need to ruin our bright future for a piece of trash!"

Although she was very unwilling, Su Qing, who was good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, still wanted to leave immediately.

On the other side, Zhang Haoran was already in a very bad situation, forced into a corner by the Senluo Bone Guards.

Zhang Haoran used every trick in the book—flipping, jumping, sliding—but he was still grazed by the bone hammer and suffered a minor injury.

Hearing Su Qing's words, Zhang Haoran instinctively shouted, "No need, Qing'er, it's just a slightly higher-level undead. We're all SS-rank..."

Before the words had even finished, the bone hammer in the hands of the Senluo Bone Guardian burst forth with a large amount of undead fire and crashed down towards Zhang Haoran!

Zhang Haoran's eye twitched, and he immediately rolled around to dodge.

The dirt he picked up was sprinkled on his body, making Zhang Haoran's face turn green.

Swallowing his stubborn words, Zhang Haoran gritted his teeth and said, "Then let this good-for-nothing go for now, and we'll teach him a lesson later!"

Zhang Haoran retreated to Su Qing's side, and the two of them turned and ran.

The soul fire in Senluo Bone Guardian's eye sockets suddenly surged, and the bone hammer in his hand fell again.

"boom!"

The ground shook violently, and then, a large number of skeletons emerged from the ground around Zhang Haoran and Su Qing.

These skeletons intertwined and, in the blink of an eye, formed a bone cell about three meters high.

Zhang Haoran and Su Qing grew increasingly anxious, launching a frantic attack in an attempt to break free of the bone prison.

However, when their attacks landed on the bone prison, they only managed to create some minor cracks.

It will take at least five minutes to break free of this bone prison.

The Senluo Bone Guards behind them have charged forward again!

"There's a gap here!"

Su Qing pointed to the gaps between the intersecting bone cells not far away, a hint of joy appearing in her eyes.

Zhang Haoran and Su Qing rushed over without hesitation.

Just as the two approached the gap, a cold glint shot straight at Zhang Haoran's face.

Zhang Haoran's pupils suddenly contracted, and he blocked the attack with his knight's sword, his body jolting violently.

Upon closer inspection, it was Gu Qing!

"Gu Qing!"

Zhang Haoran looked at Gu Qing, who was holding a long spear outside the bone prison, and was so angry that he wanted to kill him on the spot!

However, the approaching Senluo Bone Guards forced Zhang Haoran and Su Qing to leave and search for other gaps.

The bones are not tightly interwoven, with seven or eight gaps through which a person can pass.

But whenever Zhang Haoran and Su Qing approached, Gu Qing's spear tip would force them back.

Gu Qing didn't linger in the fight. He used his spear to stop Zhang Haoran and Su Qing, waiting for the Senluo Bone Guards to approach, giving Zhang Haoran and Su Qing no chance to break through.

Zhang Haoran and Su Qing were forced to retreat until they had nowhere left to go, leaving them no choice but to face the Senluo Bone Guards head-on.

"Gu Qing! Are you crazy?!" Su Qing's face turned extremely ugly as she roared at the approaching Senluo Bone Guards, "We are prospective members of the Holy See of Light! If we are seriously injured, the Holy See of Light will never let you off the hook!"

Zhang Haoran's expression shifted several times before he finally suppressed his anger and softened his tone, saying, "Gu Qing! We're all brothers. It was all a misunderstanding before. There's no need to kill him, is there?"

"How about this, you let us go, and we'll pretend nothing ever happened? From now on, Su Qing and I will guarantee you a worry-free life!"

Injuried?

Misunderstand?

Gu Qing smirked. These two were ridiculously naive.

Holding a long spear, he coldly surveyed everything in the bone cell, his gaze calm, as if he were looking at two dead men.

Senluo Bone Guard raised his bone hammer and slammed it down on Zhang Haoran. Zhang Haoran fought back fiercely, but was forced to retreat step by step.

Su Qing, standing to the side, kept waving her staff to help Zhang Haoran heal, but it was all in vain.

They only lasted for a minute before their mental energy was depleted, and they were unable to unleash any skills.

The bone hammer slammed down again, sending Zhang Haoran flying backward. He coughed up blood in mid-air and crashed to the ground, unable to stand up.

Zhang Haoran was utterly terrified. He struggled to turn his head and look in Gu Qing's direction.

"Gu Qing! I was wrong! For the sake of our past brotherhood, please forgive me this time. Let's still be brothers, okay? I'll take you into the Holy See of Light, and we'll share wealth and glory together!"

Su Qing, standing to the side, was also trembling. Her eyes were red as she pleaded with Gu Qing, "Gu Qing! I was deceived by Zhang Haoran. Actually, the person I love the most is still you."

As she spoke, Su Qing's trembling hands tore open the collar of her sacrificial robe, revealing her trembling, snow-white skin: "Gu Qing, I know you've always wanted me. I'll go with you today, and you can do whatever you want..."

Gu Qing held the spear, his expression unchanged.

wrong?

They simply knew they were going to die.

Gu Qing had no interest in talking to them; she simply watched coldly.

With the bones loosened, Gu Qing looked at Zhang Haoran lying on the ground and cautiously controlled the Senluo Bone Guard to move forward.

*Bang!*

*Click*

Senluo Bone Guard raised his bone hammer and brought it down, a clear sound of bones cracking rang out, followed by Zhang Haoran's scream of agony.

*Click*

*Click*

*Click*

With four consecutive strikes, Gu Qing manipulated the Senluo Bone Guard to break Zhang Haoran's limbs before quickly approaching.

If it weren't for the uncertainty about whether the dead sacrificial creature would affect the sacrificial outcome, Gu Qing would have broken Zhang Haoran's neck directly.

From the moment he obtained the Seed of the Dead, Gu Qing thought of sacrificing the two of them.

The abyssal creatures summoned by two SS-rank professionals must be more powerful than those summoned by directly sacrificing an altar, right?

Su Qing stood there dumbfounded, as if she had been scared out of her wits.

Gu Qing manipulated the Senluo Bone Guard towards Su Qing, and took out the broken altar from the abyss.

"Buzz!"

The ancient and dilapidated altar, suspended in mid-air, trembled, and then a large number of dark red patterns lit up.

"boom!"

The altar landed on the ground and rapidly expanded, releasing a dense abyssal aura.

Gu Qing used his spear to lift Zhang Haoran off the ground and, as if throwing a dead chicken, tossed him onto the altar.
