The bones of the Lord of the Underworld are extremely hard, and even lightning containing the power of annihilation cannot break them in an instant.

Although lightning cannot quickly shatter the solid bones of the Lord of the Underworld and destroy the undead crystals protecting it, by utilizing its annihilation properties, lightning can gradually create tiny cracks on the bones.

Over time, these cracks widen, allowing the lightning to penetrate deeper into the bone marrow, continuing to destroy the bone structure until it eventually forms a direct path to the undead crystal.

The Lord of the Underworld obviously also knew that although this beam of death light carrying the power of annihilation could not endanger his life for the time being, if it continued to collide with the energy of the totem thunder leopard, its life safety would be truly threatened.

Although the totem thunder leopard's attack is fierce, it can only seriously injure the Lord of the Underworld at most. However, Xu Mu's silent thunder death ray, once it hits the undead crystal, will become its mortal enemy.

Even if the Silent Thunder Death Light had little power left after destroying the bones protecting the Undead Crystal, it was still enough to leave dense cracks on its Undead Crystal.

In the confrontation with the Totem Thunder Leopard, the Lord of the Underworld was already at a disadvantage after just a moment of stalemate. It was unknown how long it would take to defeat the Totem Thunder Leopard, not to mention that it was not even sure whether it could win.

With almost no hesitation, Lord Haisha withdrew his attack, and the wings behind him fanned a gust of death wind. He used his wings to shield his body, trying to reduce the damage caused by the totem thunder leopard's attack.

At the same time, one of its heads lowered to the heart, and it opened its mouth wide. A suction force suddenly appeared in its empty throat, sucking away all the lightning in the heart area.

After it devoured the silent thunder death light in its heart, the totem thunder leopard's attack followed closely, heading straight for the Lord of the Underworld.

The dark lightning was like a sharp hunting spear, accurately piercing through the bone wings of the Lord of the Underworld, causing him to fall heavily from a high altitude.

boom!
This huge monarch-level undead, whose entire body was made of hard bones, fell from the sky and created a huge vibration when it hit the ground, even exceeding the vibration amplitude when the Mountain Corpse walked.

The other three walls of the ancient capital on the east, south and west sides seemed to be about to be cracked. The noise was far greater than the vibration caused by a meteor hitting the ground.

Countless undead, including those at the slave level, general level and commander level, along with their corpses and crystals, were crushed into a huge corpse cake by the Lord of the Underworld.

In the distance, there was a dead silence, and white broken bones were floating in the air, like eye-catching white feathers. Those broken bones were exactly the bones on the wings of the Lord of the Underworld.

"Hurry up!" Xu Mu shouted, dragging the totem thunder leopard's neck hair and heading towards the inner city wall of the ancient capital.

He was really scared. This totem beast was running away without knowing the danger. The ancient capital was now surrounded by the undead. There were countless undead generals and commanders, and there were also quite a few monarchs.

It is true that the Eight-Directions Dead King is a monarch-level undead, but no one has ever said that in the land of the undead in the ancient capital, only the Eight-Directions Dead King has reached the monarch level.

The Totem Thunder Leopard is just a large monarch-level creature. It can fight three or four small monarch-level creatures, but if there are too many small monarch-level creatures, it will not be able to handle it.

Not to mention the ghosts of the eight dead kings or the great monarchs, any one of them can compete with the totem thunder leopard.

In the vast ocean of the undead, it is simply impossible to escape immediately.

Fortunately, the Totem Thunder Leopard also knew that it had been targeted by other undead, especially those eight dead kings who were loyal to the ancient king, including the mountain corpse behind it. They were now staring at it closely, and it would be extremely difficult to escape.

Then, the totem thunder leopard turned around, and its body turned into a black lightning again, rushing towards the huge gap in the northern city area.

After all, the Totem Thunder Leopard is a monarch-level undead with powerful strength. Taking Xu Mu, it trampled on these general-level and commander-level undead without stopping and ran back to the North City District.

When Xu Mu was safely brought back to the North City District by the Totem Thunder Leopard, he was surprised to find that there were suddenly dozens of magicians in purple robes in the city.

These magicians are working together in groups of three to fight against the commander-level undead - the Flesh Mound Corpses - who were thrown into the city by the Mountain Corpses.

"Royal Guards?" Xu Mu immediately recognized the identities of these magicians in purple robes.

The Royal Guards are elite members of the Magic Association who are as powerful as the Court Mages. Each of them is carefully selected from mages in many different positions and are known as the shield of the ancient capital city.

The Flesh Mound Corpse Ministers are a type of undead that requires a whole team of high-level wizards to truly eliminate. These purple-robed royal guards, each consisting of three people in a team, are not afraid of the corpse ministers that suddenly appeared, which is enough to prove the strength of these wizards.

"Kill these commander-level corpse ministers first." Xu Mu patted the totem thunder leopard's head gently.

He noticed that there were not many commander-level undead in the city, no more than fifty at most. The royal guards could deal with some of them, and he and the Totem Thunder Leopard could deal with some more, thus saving more lives.

Totem Thunder Leopard let out a low growl to show his understanding. He and Totem Thunder Leopard specifically targeted the Meat Mound Corpse Ministers, and would ignore other commander-level undead unless they came to them on their own initiative.

Xu Mu was deeply impressed by the undead creatures called the Meat Mound Corpse Servant. This was a processing factory type of corpse servant that could devour corpses and then transform them into low-level undead creatures in just a dozen minutes.

This type of undead has tough skin and thick flesh, and is relatively less threatening to high-level mages. However, to ordinary people, the threat posed by the Flesh Mound Corpse Minister is the highest among all the commander-level undead, which is indisputable.

……

The city's streets are intricate and the crowds are chaotic and disorderly. Even the appearance of the lowest-level corpses on the road can cause widespread panic. This panic spreads like a virus, making the already chaotic evacuation work even more chaotic.

As people were running for their lives and not following orders, it became difficult for the mages assisting them to ensure their safety.

For now, all the mages can do is destroy as many undead as possible.

The undead have appeared on the streets, on the sides of the roads, and in the shops. Their presence makes the situation in the city even more serious.

……

……

"What is the origin of the undead under that young man? How can there be such a powerful undead that can destroy a commander-level corpse minister with one strike! "

In the sky, a team of royal guards noticed Xu Mu on the ground. When they witnessed the totem thunder leopard flattening a flesh mound corpse with just one claw, they were shocked beyond words.

"He should be a necromancer, right?" asked another royal guard mage doubtfully.

"To be able to command such powerful undead, he must be a necromancer. I didn't expect that at such a critical moment, there would be such a powerful necromancer willing to stand up." The previous guard mage replied.

"With the presence of this necromancer, our pressure has been reduced a lot." "When this crisis is over, we should thank him."

"Well, if this crisis can be resolved..."

……

……

Time gradually came to noon, the sun was high in the sky, but the dark clouds in the sky were too thick, blocking most of the sunlight, making this ancient city washed by rain look like it was at dusk.

The rain continued to pour, and no one knew when it would end. For the people of Bo who were settled in this ancient city, the rain was simply an endless nightmare.

The rain two years ago destroyed the place where they had lived since childhood, and the rain two years later once again destroyed the home they had rebuilt with great effort.

After clearing out most of the commander-level corpse ministers in the city, Xu Mu and Totem Thunder Leopard returned to the inner city area.

Surprisingly, whether it was the effect of the totem or some other unknown reason, the inner city’s security barrier did not work on the totem thunder leopard?
In full view of everyone, the Totem Thunder Leopard carried Xu Mu and swaggered into the inner city area.

Since many people had witnessed Xu Mu and Totem Thunder Leopard dealing with the commander-level corpse ministers before, and this was a safe barrier, no one felt panicked.

Zhu Meng stood in front of the gate of the Magic Association, looking at the huge totem thunder leopard in front of him, and his originally solemn expression disappeared in an instant.

"Totem beast...how did you call it here?" he couldn't help but ask.

"There's always a tacit understanding between me and it. This time I just asked it to come over and help me with a small favor." Xu Mu yawned and jumped off the back of the totem thunder leopard easily.

Hearing Xu Mu's "small favor", the Totem Thunder Leopard's originally leisurely eyes suddenly became sharp, staring straight at Xu Mu, as if saying: "You mean the 'small favor', you don't want me to help you fight those powerful undead, right?"

"Don't be nervous. There are quite a lot of super-class mages on the human side. You just need to assist from the side. If you can't win, run away. I'm not asking you to fight the Mountain Corpse to the death." Xu Mu patted the Totem Thunder Leopard's body and said.

"The monarch-level undead is indeed a good helper for us at the moment." Zhu Meng sighed and then thought:

"How did you get it into the safety barrier? I remember you didn't awaken the magic of necromancy?"

"Uh... I'm not sure."

Xu Mu was just about to answer that he didn't know much when he saw the demon man walking out of the Magic Guild.

"Councilor Zhu Meng, President Han Ji has arrived. He asked us to go upstairs for a meeting. Xu Mu, you're back too, come up... Damn, where did the undead come from!" The demon man took a step back and exclaimed.

Damn it, how could there be an undead in the inner city? And judging from the strong aura of death and the powerful aura, this must be at least an undead leader in the advanced stage, right?

Could it be that the undead had broken through the security barrier and invaded the inner city? The situation was so urgent!
"I think you should go back and have a good rest, and stop being so jumpy." Xu Mu said helplessly.

"Uh...sorry."

After hearing what Xu Mu said, the demon man quickly calmed down. He noticed that Councilman Zhu Meng next to him seemed very calm and obviously knew this undead.

"Is it the undead of the necromancer? It seems that I really need to have a good rest. My nerves are too tense." The demon man shook his head and no longer paid attention to the undead.

"Let's go to the meeting first. President Han Ji seems to have some important discoveries to tell us."

Follow the demon man all the way to the highest point of the Clock Tower Magic Association, the watchtower that soars into the clouds.

"The tribe, the nation... is the kingdom of the dead. The undead in the entire kingdom of the dead are awakening."

"Is it God's will to destroy our ancient capital?" An old whisper echoed in the watchtower.

Looking from the highest point of the inner city wall, the outer city wall has been destroyed, bricks and stones are piled up like mountains, tall towers have collapsed like clay sculptures, and the buildings on both sides of the street have also suffered the same fate...

An area of ​​more than ten kilometers in radius of this ancient capital has been covered by a dark body of water. The formerly prosperous buildings, streets, squares, parks, schools and hospitals have been destroyed beyond recognition by the evil spirits, and even a trace of wreckage is hard to find.

"Being able to command so many undead... could it be that the ruler of the kingdom of the dead has awakened?" said Senator Zhu Meng with a pale face.

"The Lord of the Undead... could he be the forbidden spell wizard from the Tang Dynasty?" the demon man asked doubtfully.

There has always been much controversy about the identity of the ruler of the Kingdom of the Dead, but it is generally believed that he was a Tang Dynasty king who died more than a thousand years ago.

In the past, the Holy Court of Justice abroad sent super-class wizards to attack the fallen emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but in the end they stayed here forever.

The king was an emperor and a forbidden spell wizard in his lifetime. After being nourished by the death energy for more than a thousand years, his strength must be far beyond all the undead in the ancient capital.

Once awakened, can this ancient capital survive?
"That depends on which era the Undead King is from. If it's the Tang Dynasty, I would rather it be this Su Xing than that one." Han Ji, the president of the Bell Tower Magic Association, said with a sigh.

"President, the 'it' you are talking about is..." Military Commander Lu Xu asked with a frown.

"It is an existence that is the same age as this city." President Han Ji did not answer directly because he really did not want to believe this fact.

The ancient capital city has a history of more than 2,000 years. It was founded by Qin Shihuang during the Qin Dynasty... The ruler of the country who is the same age as this city...

Upon hearing this, the pupils of everyone present dilated.

"It shouldn't be possible... There has been no news about Qin Shihuang's tomb for so many years. How could the ruler of the kingdom of the dead be Qin Shihuang?" The demon man said while swallowing his saliva.

"If it is really Qin Shi Huang, perhaps it would be easier for us to deal with it. After all, the power of the undead mainly depends on their strength before death, their age after death, and the degree of nourishment of death energy. Powerful undead usually cannot avoid these three factors."

"But we have investigated many places with dense death energy, but have never found any clues about Qin Shihuang. This means that he may be buried in a place with low concentration of death energy, and his strength may not be as good as that of the monarch of the Tang Dynasty." Hunter King Du Xiao analyzed.
