"I know you’re already exhausted, leave the rest to me!"

Samson, with a ferocious expression, squeezed the neck of the unconscious Red Eyes and sneered as he attempted to initiate another possession.

However, at this moment, a voice filled with cold severity suddenly came from behind Samson:

"I said... let him go!"

Upon hearing this voice, Samson turned his head in astonishment.

Tian Ci looked bewildered at Zhan Chen, who had transformed with golden pupils and opened a pair of holy wings behind him:

"What the hell!"

"Are we even playing the same game?"

"How come you can transform too?"

Already shocked by Red Eyes’ sudden transformation, now the powerful aura emanating from Zhan Chen once again made Tian Ci question reality.

The moment Tian Ci saw Zhan Chen, he felt as if his close companion had become a completely different person.

It wasn’t the person who changed, but the aura!

It was a distinctive aura of someone who has long held a position of power, along with a maturity that didn’t belong to Zhan Chen;

Tian Ci suddenly couldn’t tell if the person in front of him was still the Zhan Chen he knew.

However, at this moment, Samson immediately recognized the change in Zhan Chen and expressed his surprise:

"Are you a being of the Celestial race?"

Then, as if remembering something, Samson’s eyes lit up:

"Unexpectedly, this boy’s body still retains a reincarnated soul, truly an unexpected gain."

Samson looked greedily at the current ’Zhan Chen’ and said:

"I suppose absorbing your soul should at least restore my power to an extent, kekeke~"

"A mere Necromancer, how dare you speak so brazenly before me."

’Zhan Chen’ suddenly took out his Weapon (Purple Spirit Bow Lv65 Myth), sneering:

"Prepare to die."

Then ’Zhan Chen’ placed his fingers on the bowstring and aimed at Samson, three energy light arrows appeared out of thin air, to which Samson replied with a sinister laugh:

"If you were at your peak, perhaps I’d avoid clashing with you head-on."

"But now..."

’Zhan Chen’s’ expression darkened:

"Even now, I can still send you to your death!"

Immediately after ’Zhan Chen’ released the string:

"Boom~"

The bowstring vibrated, and the three arrows flew off, transforming into three jade-green cyan dragons that roared toward Samson in a violent rush:

"Dragon-Controlling Arrow"

"Awooo~"

The three lifelike cyan dragons roared straight toward Samson’s face:

"Hmph!"

At this moment, Samson suddenly used Red Eyes as a shield in front of him, calmly saying:

"Is that so."

Seeing the three cyan dragons about to pierce through the unconscious Red Eyes, ’Zhan Chen’ furiously shouted:

"Despicable!"

In that critical moment, ’Zhan Chen’ suddenly raised his hand.

The three cyan dragons formed from arrows made a sharp ninety-degree turn, brushing past Red Eyes’ hair and crashing into the rock wall above:

"Rumble~"

In an instant, chunks of the rock wall fell with a thunderous explosion, spewing magma.

Tian Ci, who was already dumbfounded nearby, was engulfed by the magma and perished, only to be resurrected moments later on the side.

Meanwhile, during the brief moment when Tian Ci was resurrecting, Samson appeared behind ’Zhan Chen’ and punched him in the back:

"Bang!"

"-440185"

’Zhan Chen’ was sent flying by the impact.

Samson stood at the original position of ’Zhan Chen,’ cracked his neck, and smugly said to the struggling ’Zhan Chen’ trying to stand:

"You actually had a chance to defeat me just now."

"It’s a pity you gave up that sole opportunity for ridiculous human emotions."

’Zhan Chen’ wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said:

"I truly feel sorry for you."

These words made Samson’s eyes suddenly bulge with anger.

As if ’Zhan Chen’s’ words had struck a nerve, Samson’s expression turned hideous:

"Bastard!"

"The truly pathetic ones are you hypocritical faces, who live constantly trying to disguise yourselves."

At this point, ’Zhan Chen’ was done speaking.

He once again took out his Weapon, his aura blazing:

"Save your breath, prepare to die."

When ’Zhan Chen’ placed his hand on the bowstring, a massive force gathered at the arrow’s tip. Seeing this, Samson laughed:

"You think you still have a chance?!"

’Zhan Chen’s’ gaze suddenly sharpened.

Immediately, ’Zhan Chen’ dispersed the gathered energy, grabbed his bow and arrow, and swiftly rolled to the side:

"Boom!"

Samson’s punch landed on the spot where ’Zhan Chen’ had just stood, shattering the jutting rock and instantly replaced by roiling magma.

As ’Zhan Chen’ prepared to unleash another skill, Samson assaulted again with a sinister grin:

"Let’s see how long you can keep dodging."

So ’Zhan Chen’ had to give up on attacking once more, flapping his wings to evade:

"Boom!"

...

While Samson pursued ’Zhan Chen,’ he failed to notice that Tian Ci had regained mobility and was cautiously pulling Red Eyes aside.

Watching the fierce battle unfolding not far away, Tian Ci felt both shock and clarity, finally understanding why Zhan Chen came with a passive ability when entering the game.

However, what shocked Tian Ci the most was that Zhan Chen, the reincarnated one, belonged to the Celestial race.

This revelation struck a significant blow to Tian Ci.

The reason Tian Ci knew about the Celestial race was because Lin Yi was searching for the mystery of the Celestial race’s disappearance, wasn’t he?

If only possible.

Tian Ci desperately wanted to rush forward and stop the fight to learn more about the Celestial race from ’Zhan Chen.’

But this was just a beautiful dream for Tian Ci.

Given Samson’s savage appearance, letting ’Zhan Chen’ go was no longer feasible.

Moreover, the confined space greatly limited ’Zhan Chen’s’ ability to showcase his power, and gradually, ’Zhan Chen’ was falling behind.

Seeing this, Tian Ci sadly realized there was nothing he could do to help.

As ’Zhan Chen’ and Samson fought intensely, on Mount Fuji Island.

The Jade Qilin led Lin Yi to a mountain wall.

Lin Yi gazed at the wall covered in vines and branches, frowning as he spoke:

"Where is the Divine Shrine?"

The Jade Qilin appeared to have anticipated Lin Yi’s confusion and called out to the White Tiger:

"Tiger Girl, go!"

The White Tiger nodded its little head:

"Okay."

Then it jumped off Lin Yi’s shoulder.

As the White Tiger landed, its size grew from that of a tiny cat to a towering majestic tiger over a meter tall.

With a sudden roar, the White Tiger unleashed a powerful Tiger Roar at the mountain wall:

"Roar~"

The immense shockwave scattered the vines and branches, revealing a moss-covered rock wall underneath.

And a faint humanoid carving emerged on the rock wall:

"Is this the Divine Shrine of Yellow Springs?"
