Chapter 165: The Ghostly Tyrant

At the horizon, as the dust was blown up by the wind, a group of huge figures gradually came into view!

These figures were extremely majestic, with skin that was a deep blue covered with lightning-like textures. When they ran, blue lightning jumped and flashed on their skin, making crackling sounds, which were the same mysterious electric current sounds they had heard before.

"These are the electric blue leopards that live in the Qinling Mountains. Judging from their body shapes, they should be war generals." Military commander Lu Xu quickly identified these giant beasts surrounded by blue lightning.

The distance between Qinling Mountains and Xianyang is neither close nor far. Demons from Qinling Mountains often wander around Xianyang, causing a series of chaos.

Although creatures like the electric blue leopard are extremely rare, their appearance is not completely unexpected.

"It seems that their target is us." said a high-level wizard after observation.

"Then destroy them." Zhu Meng gave the order coldly.

Upon receiving the order, the two high-level mages stepped forward and began to quickly build a dazzling constellation in the air.

"Wait a minute and see what's following those electric blue leopards." Military commander Lu Xu hurriedly stopped the actions of the two high-level mages. His expression became serious, and his eyes were fixed on the disturbing dark shadow behind the electric blue leopards.

Xu Mu also cast his gaze towards the deep darkness, but because of the distance, he could only perceive that the shadow looked quite strange, as if it was moving?

At this moment, the totem vessel on his right wrist began to flash a faint blue light. Although the light was not strong, Xu Mu immediately noticed the change.

The gray and white leopard is nearby!
Xu Mu's eyes became serious. Although he had not visited the ancient capital for a long time, he still clearly remembered that the gray-white leopard's tomb was quite far away from here.

Why did the gray-white leopard appear in this place for no reason?

Electric Blue Leopard...

Xu Mu recalled that when he first met the gray-white leopard, he seemed to have encountered a creature like the electric blue leopard.

Could it be that the electric blue leopards are the followers of the gray-white leopards? Since the gray-white leopards are nearby, why did these electric blue leopards run away?

It can't be that the gray-white leopard also wants to revive itself, and imitate the ancient king who was ready to use the blood of the people of the ancient capital for sacrifice, so it uses the blood of the electric blue leopard for sacrifice?
Zhu Meng turned his gaze to the chief palace guard Wu Pingjing, who immediately understood his instructions and quickly took off to the front line, concentrating on observing the unusual shadow in the distance.

After a few minutes of reconnaissance, Wu Pingjing returned and reported to Zhu Meng: "That shadow looks like a gathering of death energy, and this death energy is chasing these electric blue leopards."

“Is it just a collection of dead air?” Zhu Meng stroked his thick beard.

Zhu Meng did not act rashly, but ordered everyone to stay where they were and began to construct a magic constellation in preparation for the approach of the electric blue leopard and the combination of death energy, and then formulate countermeasures according to the situation.

The electric blue leopard was relatively close, only three kilometers away. For the general-level electric blue leopard that was good at running fast, this distance was quickly crossed, and they soon arrived where everyone was.

When the electric blue leopard approached to only a few hundred meters away, everyone realized that the spread speed of the death energy combination was far beyond expectations.

The combination of death energy has approached within a range of less than two kilometers, and its spreading speed is still accelerating, even showing a momentum of surpassing the electric blue leopard.

"There seem to be a large number of undead spirits active inside these combinations of death energy." The chief of the palace guards Wu Pingjing said after some observation.

"Ho~~~!"

A roar that Xu Mu was familiar with came from the combination of death and energy!

I saw a huge gray-white undead leopard, ten meters tall, leaping out from the dense combination of death energy and landing behind a group of electric blue leopards.

The deathly aura was thick, sweeping over like a wave, making everyone's clothes rustle.

"This aura clearly belongs to a monarch-level undead!" Zhu Meng's eyes widened, and he immediately commanded: "Release magic to eliminate these electric blue leopards, and leave the monarch-level undead to us."

Hearing this, several high-level wizards quickly injected magic energy into the magic constellation that had been constructed long ago. The constellation suddenly expanded and shone with dazzling magical light!

"Zhu Meng, don't make any move yet!" Xu Mu hurriedly stopped those who were about to cast magic. Facing the monarch-level undead, such an attack would undoubtedly be a way to seek death!

Although the gray leopard is friendly to humans, it does not mean that it can choose to forgive and protect humans after being attacked by humans like the black snake.

Naive, if they attacked it, it would suddenly become angry and kill them all.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Meng frowned and asked with obvious dissatisfaction in his tone.

"That leopard is a totem beast. I have encountered it before. It belongs to the same camp as the Totem Black Snake. These electric blue leopards are likely to be its followers."

"Totem beast? Or undead?" Zhu Meng was stunned for a moment, unable to believe that such an ancient creature would become undead.

"Are you sure that it, like the black snake, will not attack us?" Zhu Meng frowned again and asked for confirmation.

"I've been to its grave, and I'm its guardian. There's no way it can attack us." Xu Mu said quickly.

Zhu Meng's brows were still furrowed, not because he had doubts about Xu Mu's words, but because he had great distrust in the existence of the undead itself.

The undead are the public enemies of all living beings. Even if the totem beasts were once the protectors of mankind when they were alive, they have now turned into undead. Faced with such a situation, it is hard for anyone to believe that they will not pose a threat to mankind.

"Ho! Ho ho!"

The gray-white leopard let out a few low growls, and dark lightning surrounded its body. Before anyone could see its movements clearly, it disappeared from the spot in an instant like a flash of lightning!

It turned into a black thunder, passed through the group of electric blue leopards, and appeared in front of Xu Mu in the blink of an eye!

“This speed is amazing!”

Zhu Meng was shocked, he had never seen such a swift creature. Even the Silver Dome Lord who was once famous for his speed pale in comparison to the speed of this gray-white leopard!
Faced with the sudden appearance of the gray-white leopard, he reflexively activated his own supernatural power, and the flame in his hand immediately condensed into a burning knight's spear.

However, just as Zhu Meng was about to launch an attack, the gray-white leopard suddenly howled, lowered its head to pick up Xu Mu, then shook its head, allowing Xu Mu to fall steadily on its back.

Then, black lightning emerged from its body again and it continued to flee, completely ignoring Zhu Meng and the others.

"What's going on?" Military Commander Lu Xu was dumbfounded. His wind star palace was almost completed, but this undead gray-white leopard took a person away and ran away. When an undead encounters a living person, it is like encountering an old enemy, and they will attack frantically, and they must fight to the death.

Why are there still undead who would snatch someone and run away?
"Zhu Meng, retreat quickly!"

Xu Mu was unable to fully interpret the detailed meaning of the gray-white leopard's howl just now, and could only roughly understand the warning contained in it - that group of dead air was extremely dangerous, and its degree of danger even forced the gray-white leopard to choose to escape.

"Retreat?" Zhu Meng and others looked puzzled. At this moment, they saw the gray-white leopard that was fleeing in front of them suddenly turned back.

A pitch-black ball of lightning gathered in his mouth and then suddenly shot out. The attack passed by Zhu Meng and others and accurately hit the group of deathly energy.

With a loud bang, the lightning ball exploded instantly, effectively dissipating some of the death energy, allowing the scene inside the death energy gathering body to appear.

Bright red pupils!
The sight was filled with red eyes, and countless undead were hidden in the deathly aura. They stared at Zhu Meng and his party and the group of electric blue leopards in front of them with blazing eyes!
Everyone couldn't help but shudder, staring with disbelief at the real scene revealed after the layer of deathly aura dissipated.

Among these undead, there are weak slave-level beings, powerful general-level and commander-level individuals, and even a majestic monarch-level undead!
Just in an inconspicuous corner, one can find a monarch-level undead. Faced with such a huge gathering of death energy, it is hard to imagine how many monarch-level terrifying beings are hidden in it!
"That is the monarch-level undead - the Ghost Tyrant!" Military commander Lu Xu recognized the true identity of the huge and gloomy figure at a glance.

As a monarch-level being that controls tens of millions of undead souls, it is not only the most frequently appearing monarch-level undead soul in the past hundred years, but to some extent, it is even the only active monarch-level undead soul!
The faces of several high-level wizards turned serious and pale. They were willing to assist Zhu Meng in investigating Sha Yuan, but that was based on the premise that there was no danger during the day.

If they had known that they would encounter monarch-level undead, they would rather be beaten to death than risk coming out!

"Evacuate quickly!"

Zhu Meng had seen a lot of the world, so he gave the order without hesitation.

Everyone took action immediately, casting their own magic, and then followed the gray-white leopard's footsteps to quickly evacuate this hellish place.

It is truly the most serious undead chaos in history. In broad daylight, with the sun still high in the sky, monarch-level undead have already appeared.

Fortunately, there was the warning from the gray-white leopard. If they had hesitated and failed to escape in time, they would have had no idea what disastrous consequences they would have faced.

"Fuck, the ghost tyrant!"

Xu Mu also noticed the huge body emerging from the deathly aura, and he finally understood why the gray-white leopard fled in panic.

Faced with an undead army numbering tens of millions, including countless commander-level undead and a powerful monarch-level undead, if he did not escape in time, he would probably stay there forever.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

The gray-white leopard let out a series of roars, and Xu Mu struggled to interpret the meaning with the help of the totem vessel in his hand.

"What you mean is that a huge black abyss suddenly appeared near your house, and if I hadn't reacted in time, I wouldn't have been able to see you?" Xu Mu asked.

"Awooo!" the gray-white leopard continued to roar.

"The Ghost Tyrant awakened because of the Black Abyss, and led his subordinates to attack you? Aren't you undead? Why is it targeting you?"

"Ouch!"

"It wants to increase its power by eating you? Can't you eat it instead?"

Xu Mu asked this question, but the response he got was that the gray-white leopard turned its head and rolled its white eyes, seeming speechless.

"Okay, it's my fault." Xu Mu shut up when he saw this.

Facing an enemy with tens of millions of undead legions, no matter how strong the Gray Leopard is personally, he will find it difficult to withstand the consumption of a protracted war.

In the competition in this world, it does not rely solely on one-on-one combat ability, but focuses more on the comparison of power.

This proves the saying that fighting is of no use. If you want to get involved in life, you need power and background.

Obviously, the gray and white leopard has nothing but the ability to fight.

The speed at which the death energy spread was getting faster and faster. Zhu Meng and others were trying their best to escape. Even the military commander Lu Xu did not forget to cast a super-class magic he had created during the tense retreat, providing additional acceleration effect for all personnel.

Even so, their escape speed was still no match for the expansion of the aura of death. Fortunately, soon after, the spread of the aura of death began to slow down, as if it was restrained by some force.

The Ghost Tyrant roared in rage, but could only helplessly watch Zhu Meng and his group escape safely.

It was not that it had not thought about leaving Zhu Meng and the others behind. During the pursuit, it also tried to grab a few undead and throw them at Zhu Meng and the others as projectiles. However, this did not work and could not stop Zhu Meng and the others at all.

The power of the undead makes it extremely powerful, but it also brings many limitations.

Although the spread of the death energy slowed down, the gray-white leopard did not stop running. It kept fleeing forward, and the electric blue leopard behind it followed closely behind.

Zhu Meng and others originally planned to take a short rest, but seeing that the gray-white leopard was still running away, they had to continue following it, fearing that there might be other dangers hidden in this ghost place.

"It seems that we need to raise the danger level of the South City area by one level." said Councillor Zhu Meng.

The unexpected appearance of the Ghost Tyrant completely disrupted their original plan. They had originally planned to conduct a detailed exploration of the area around Shayuan, and then return to hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with the undead chaos.

However, the development of the matter was far beyond their expectations. Just as they arrived near the Shayuan, they were chased by a powerful Guixiang Lord.

If the gray leopard had not appeared in time, there would have been heavy casualties or even deaths.

"That pervasive death energy also has the effect of masking breath, which can conceal the super-class perception. There is also an Undead Lord existing in secret." Military Commander Lu Xu analyzed.

"Speaking of which, is this gray-white leopard really a totem beast?" Lu Xu thought, his eyes fixed on the gray-white leopard in front of him.

"I'm not too sure. I only know that this kid has a very powerful totem vessel. If nothing unexpected happens, this undead should be the totem beast." Zhu Meng shook his head and said.
