My career has infinite upgrades.

Chapter 79 Stand Up! Multiple Layers of Soul Restriction!

Gu Qing's gaze fell ahead and he saw a huge figure.

A level 25 Golden Lion Beast King!

It was ten meters long, with bulging muscles on its back and scarlet eyes fixed on the cave entrance.

Five undead guards outside raised their shields to meet them.

The golden lion beast king lowered its head, and its thick bone horns directly rammed into it.

Bang!"

The undead guards' bone shields shattered instantly, and the five undead guards were sent flying, breaking into pieces in mid-air.

There's no way around it, the level difference is just too big!

The Golden Lion Beast King charged forward quickly, tearing through the first line of defense.

Gu Qing frowned.

He could deal with such a beast king, but it would be quite difficult.

Just then, Melissand pointed to the Beast King's neck and said, "Master, there's something on the Beast King's neck."

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow and, using shared perception, saw three silver lights on the Beast King Platinum Crystal.

Silver nails!

With each flash of silver light on the silver nails, the bloodlust in the Beast King's eyes intensified.

Someone is controlling this beast king!

Gu Qing frowned, then her gaze fell on Herman.

Herman's bone staff hit the ground, and ten decaying skeletons rushed out of the cave and pounced on the Beast King's limbs.

"Go and pull out the holy nail."

"It's not that easy."

Gu Qing stared at the side of the Beast King's neck.

The holy nail had penetrated deep into flesh and blood, and was covered by a layer of holy light.

Rushing into destruction might directly provoke the Beast King into a frenzy.

What's more, the manipulator is hiding outside.

That person is the source.

The Golden Beast King smashed through the last few undead guards and charged toward the cave entrance, stepping over the broken bones scattered on the ground.

The decaying skeleton had barely gotten close when it was whipped away by its tail, crashing into and breaking two trees beside the mountain stream.

Cecilia flicked her whip, and black and white flames wrapped around the Beast King's forelimbs.

The Beast King paused, its four claws gripping the ground tightly, its long whip taut, and two deep furrows were dragged into the soil beneath its feet.

"Master, it is very strong."

Gu Qing waved his hand and opened the Netherworld Space.

Enormous bone wings emerged from the gray-white vortex.

The desert undead dragon squeezed out of the cave, its bone wings spreading against the rock walls on both sides, and its sharp bone claws pressing down on the ground.

The dark light of the Necromancer's Crown swept across its entire body, causing the soul fire within its bones to rise.

The Golden Beast King raised its head and roared, charging straight at them.

The Desert Undead Dragon did not back down.

The two enormous creatures collided head-on.

The bone horn got stuck in the undead dragon's chest skeleton, and large pieces of bone flew out.

The Desert Undead Dragon's claws gripped the Beast King's shoulders and back, dragging it into the mountain stream's rocky walls.

boom!

Several cracks appeared in the rock wall, and gravel mixed with rainwater rolled down.

The Golden Beast King turned its head to bite, but the Necromancer Dragon Bone Wings folded up and pressed down on its back.

The level advantage quickly became apparent when the opponent was level 30 against level 25.

The Beast King struggled desperately, but could not break through to the cave entrance.

"Get entangled with it."

Gu Qing gave the Desert Undead Dragon an order, then looked at Melissand.

"Can we find the manipulator?"

Melissand closed her eyes, and the purple sound waves bypassed the battle zone, following the power emanating from the three holy nails outwards.

The sounds of rain, animal roars, and the collision of falling rocks all transformed into clear ripples.

A moment later, she raised her hand and pointed upwards into the ravine.

"There."

"It's about 370 meters away, hidden in the woods above the rock face."

370 meters.

It has exceeded the range of a remote summon.

The opponent chose a very careful position, which allowed them to control the Beastmaster while avoiding some ranged attacks.

Once Herman and the beasts in the cave are both severely injured, he can leave at any time.

Gu Qing took over Melissant's vision through shared perception.

The world before my eyes lost its color, leaving only the outlines of densely interwoven sound waves.

Above the mountain stream, a figure crouched behind a boulder.

The other person was covered by a power that blocked detection, and even their breathing and heartbeat were suppressed to the lowest level.

If it weren't for the three holy nails constantly receiving commands, Melisandre would have had a hard time finding that place by following the fluctuations.

"Is it still that silver-armored man from before?"

"The aura is obscured, making it impossible to confirm."

Melissand moved her fingertips slightly, and the sound waves contracted a little more upwards.

"He's maintaining the spell; he hasn't moved yet."

Gu Qing did not rush forward immediately.

The rock walls on both sides of the mountain stream were slippery, and climbing from the front would leave him completely exposed. By the time he reached the top, the other party would have already cut off contact and left.

We must first force that person to move.

Gu Qing scanned the shared field of view and quickly locked onto a slope behind the boulder.

There were several monster corpses there, which looked like they had been trampled to death by the monsters.

Not far away, there was also a fireball talisman that Gu Qing had set up before entering the cave.

Gu Qing's heart stirred, and he immediately used the Netherworld Lord's Corpse Explosion!

boom!"

The monster's corpse exploded, creating a violent blast that forced the man out.

"You hold them off for a bit," Gu Qing said to Herman, and then immediately gave chase.

After leaving, Gu Qing's eyes flickered.

He pursued them for two reasons: first, to find the person behind the scenes, and second, to enslave the undead.

After slaying the enemies, many of the monster corpses showed signs of connection with him.

You can convert them simply by inducing the undead to enslave them.

Gu Qing did not want Herman to discover her secret, even though they had just signed a soul contract.

The enslavement of the undead can be said to be Gu Qing's biggest secret right now.

Rushing outside, Gu Qing directly activated the power of the undead.

"Stand up!"

The corpses of some of the demons that Gu Qing had previously killed staggered to their feet, and then soul fire surged from their eye sockets, transforming into Gu Qing's undead.

Gu Qing directly stored them in the undead space.

Then, Gu Qing chased after the figure.

He, too, wanted to know who the person behind the scenes was.

After experiencing the explosion of the Underworld Lord's corpse, the figure quickly retreated, attempting to escape.

Noticing that Gu Qing was chasing after him, he didn't even turn his head and directly unleashed three beams of holy light sword energy.

Gu Qing used Swift Step to quickly dodge the three holy light sword energies.

At this moment, Gu Qing also got a clear look at the other person.

It was indeed that silver-armored man.

The silver-armored man stopped and looked at Gu Qing in front of him. His helmet covered his entire face, revealing only two points of silver light.

"Gu Qing!"

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow; the other party's target was indeed him.

A holy light longsword emerged from the silver-armored man's hand and charged directly towards Gu Qing.

Gu Qing dodged the incoming holy light sword by sidestepping it, and then raised the black bone scythe in his hand from bottom to top, forcing the silver-armored man to forcibly retract his sword and block the attack.

clang!

With a crisp sound, the silver-armored man took half a step back, his long sword sweeping horizontally, slashing at Gu Qing's waist.

Gu Qing retreated, and three chains of holy light suddenly emerged from under the silver-armored man's feet, binding Gu Qing.

Gu Qing was forced back, and the holy light sword in the silver-armored man's hand shone brightly, slashing directly down at Gu Qing.

Holy light and sword energy covered the slope, snapping all the vegetation along the way.

Gu Qing's eyes reflected the approaching white light, and the pale blue soul fire on the Netherworld Soul Armor rose rapidly.

He didn't retreat; instead, the black bone scythe spun along the ground and charged straight at him.

boom!

The sword energy collided with the soul armor.

Gu Qing slid backward several meters, leaving two tracks in the mud with his feet.

Several fine cracks appeared on the surface of the Netherworld Soul Armor plates, but they were quickly filled by soul fire.

The silver-armored man had caught up.

It's the same action again.

He raised his sword, slashed horizontally, blocked the way with chains of holy light, and then followed up with a heavy frontal slash.

Gu Qing blocked two swords in succession, his gaze remaining fixed on the opponent's shoulders, arms, and waist.

He's strong enough and fast enough, but he's too rigid.

The silver-armored man clearly had a chance to stab him in the chest, but he abruptly withdrew his sword and cast the Holy Light Chains again.

It's like they only know how to use their moves in a fixed order.

Gu Qing deliberately exposed an opening on her right side.

The silver-armored man swept his longsword across, but did not attack the exposed ribs; instead, the blade still aimed for his waist and abdomen.

Gu Qing turned his body to the side, letting the longsword graz the Netherworld Armor, while the Black Bone Scythe struck the silver-armored man's wrist.

click!

The silver wrist guards dented.

The silver-armored man's holy light sword swayed, but he didn't stop. He raised his left hand, and three more holy light chains appeared.

Gu Qing took a step ahead.

The chains brushed past his back, then missed completely.

"Not even changing the order?"

The man in silver armor did not answer.

The longsword was raised, and holy light once again converged on the blade.

Gu Qing looked at the two unwavering silver lights under his helmet and slowly lowered the black bone scythe in his hand.

It's not just about fixed moves.

This guy hasn't even lost his breathing rhythm since he appeared.

Despite the wristband being deformed and the wrist being injured, the movement was not affected in the slightest.

Unlike a normal person.

The silver-armored man brought his heavy sword down.

Gu Qing stopped dodging and took the hit head-on with the Netherworld Soul Armor.

The holy light and the soul fire collided, causing large sections of the armor to crack. Gu Qing felt a tightness in his chest and staggered backward.

The silver-armored man followed closely, slashing horizontally with his longsword once more.

Gu Qing flicked his wrist, using the black bone scythe to block the sword blade, and then used his other hand to grab the silver-armored man's shoulder.

The silver-armored man broke free to the side, and a ring of holy light erupted from his armor.

The moment Gu Qing's five fingers touched the silver armor, they were blasted away by the holy light.

The two of them stepped back at the same time.

The silver-armored man had barely steadied himself when the silver markings on his chest lit up again.

Holy Light Longsword.

Chains of Holy Light.

What follows will inevitably be a heavy slash covering the front.

Gu Qing licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the black bone scythe in his hand dissipated into black mist.

A ghostly blue soul fire surged from his palm, quickly condensing into a massive Netherworld Soul Scythe.

The sickle sliced ​​through the rain, and the surrounding raindrops seemed to freeze for a moment.

The silver-armored man did not change his moves.

Three chains of holy light burst forth from the ground, sealing off Gu Qing's left and right sides. The light on the longsword rapidly expanded, slashing down towards the only open space.

Gu Qing had been waiting for this moment.

Instead of retreating along the path left by his opponent, he charged forward towards the Holy Light Greatsword.

The Netherworld Armor blocked the sword's edge, and the armor plates on its chest cracked.

Gu Qing's body sank, his right foot sinking into the mud, while the Netherworld Soul Scythe passed over the longsword from below and struck the silver-armored man in the abdomen.

The silver armor blocked the scythe.

The next moment, the ghostly blue flames on the Soul Scythe pierced through the armor plates and entered the silver-armored man's body.

The silver-armored man stopped moving for the first time.

There were no screams, no struggles.

He simply stood frozen in place, the holy light sword in his hand dimming.

Gu Qing lowered her eyebrows.

The soul damage inflicted by the Nether Soul Scythe was almost completely unimpeded.

The physical body beneath the silver armor was still standing, but the fluctuations of the soul were abnormally weak.

Gu Qing reduced his strength and swung the scythe handle out, smashing it heavily into the silver-armored man's chest.

boom!

The silver-armored man was sent flying backward, his back slamming into a boulder.

The stone surface cracked.

He had barely landed when he used his longsword to stand up.

The abdominal armor was not visibly damaged, but the movements were slower than before.

Gu Qing did not give him a chance to make another move.

The undead space opened behind the silver-armored man, and more than a dozen newly transformed undead monsters rushed out at the same time.

The gray-backed wolf bit his legs, and the bone-rotting spider fell from above, its legs gripping his shoulder armor.

The black-horned boar pressed against his lower back, pinning him firmly against the boulder.

The silver-armored man raised his longsword, preparing to unleash holy light.

Gu Qing took a step closer, and the Netherworld Soul Scythe slashed at his right shoulder.

The soul fire passed through his body.

The holy light that had just gathered vanished on the spot.

The silver light beneath the armored man's helmet flashed twice, and his sword-wielding hand fell limply to his side.

Gu Qing stared at him for a moment.

The opponent offered no resistance whatsoever to either of the two soul attacks.

It's not that he couldn't withstand it, but rather that there was something wrong with his soul.

This silver armor is indeed sturdy; it wouldn't be difficult to kill it by force, but keeping it alive is of higher value.

Gu Qing dispersed the Netherworld Soul Scythe, took out several runes, and affixed them to the silver-armored man's limbs and chest.

Rune attachment activated.

Several beams of light tightened, completely sealing off the silver-armored man's power.

Even so, the silver-armored man continued to struggle mechanically.

His shoulder struck the stone surface, and the helmet slowly turned towards Gu Qing, with intermittent sounds coming from inside.

"Clear—Target—"

"Hermann — Gu Qing"

"Clear————"

Gu Qing raised his hand and punched the side of the helmet.

The silver-armored man tilted his head to the side and became completely still.

"He's definitely not very smart."

Gu Qing had the two demonic undead lift up the silver-armored man, then turned and returned to the cave.

The Golden Lion Beast King was still pressed under the stone wall by the Desert Undead Dragon. After losing the control of the Silver Armor Man, the three holy nails on its neck had dimmed, and the bloodlust in its eyes was slowly fading.

Gu Qing did not linger and led the prisoners directly into the cave entrance.

Inside the stone chamber, Herman watched the silver-armored man being dragged in, his soul fire surging upwards from his eye sockets.

"Captured alive?"

"He has a problem."

Gu Qing waved his hand, and the two demonic undead threw the silver-armored man outside the six-pointed star formation.

clang!

The silver armor crashed into the stone surface, and the helmet rolled off, revealing the face of a middle-aged man who was completely bloodless.

The man's eyes were closed, and there was no sign of pain on his face.

Even though his abdomen had been attacked by the Netherworld Soul Scythe, his breathing remained at a steady frequency.

Herman couldn't leave, so he could only use two decaying skeletons to drag the silver-armored man closer.

It used a bone staff to pry open the other person's eyelids.

The eyeballs did not move.

"His soul was badly wounded."

Gu Qing said, "He only repeats a few fixed moves when he fights, and he has no resistance to soul attacks. I suspect that his soul was tampered with before he came here."

Hermann did not rush to answer.

A pale green soul flame drifted from the tip of the bone staff and burrowed into the silver-armored man's brow.

The silver-armored man's body suddenly stiffened.

Silvery lines climbed up his neck to his cheeks, eventually intersecting into several layers of fine marks on his forehead.

Hermann paused, his bone staff tumbling.

"Multi-layered soul restrictions? Interesting?"

Herman stared at the silvery marks, his withered hand pressing down slowly on the head of the silver-armored man.

"Once the outer layer of restrictions is broken, the inner layer of restrictions will destroy his soul, leaving not a single memory behind."

Gu Qing glanced at Herman.

"You want to search my soul?"

Hermann slowly raised his head, a small smile spreading across his face.

"Having finally captured a prisoner, it's only natural to probe his memories."

Its five fingers gripped the skull of the silver-armored man tightly, and a ghastly green soul fire surged from between its fingers.

"Multi-layered soul restrictions might be a bit tricky for others."

"But unfortunately, he fell into the hands of the lich."

Herman grinned as he activated the Soul Memory Technique!
