Listening to the thirty seconds of footsteps drawing to an end, Zhang Yuanqing felt a surge of anxiety, beads of sweat forming on his forehead!
He didn't want the team to suffer casualties in this dungeon. Everyone present was a cherished friend or relative, even the most troublesome youth, Xiahou Aotian, was a confidant and a companion they relied on!
To put it another way, if they lost someone in this stage, the danger of subsequent stages would skyrocket, and death might occur!
He wanted not only to clear the dungeon but also to achieve zero casualties!
The footsteps were about to end, he had to think of a way, quickly... Zhang Yuanqing instinctively wanted to summon the army of Yin corpses to act as cannon fodder and shield his teammates. But then he thought that the decapitation attack wasn't a random hunt but was being controlled by the female statue!
The female statue had thoughts and intelligence!
This meant her target would be clear, definitely among the five of them. She would never waste the precious opportunity on Yin corpses.
The possibility of Yin corpses blocking the attack and improving the survival rate was zero. Who would be the statue's target?
Zhang Yuanqing's mind raced, his brainpower pushed to the limit!
For the female statue, Xiahou Aotian and Yin Yao Shaofu posed the least threat. The former had three items, and the latter was an Yin object, so they weren't the primary targets!
She would choose one among me, Fu Qingyang, and the Devil Eye Heavenly King!
Among the three, I'm the weakest in combat power, but I'm a Night Wanderer, specializing in countering Yin objects, so the probability of her choosing me isn't low. I must think of a way to protect all three!
Zhang Yuanqing quickly went through all his items and methods in two seconds!
Then, he grabbed the Yata Mirror and shouted, "Where's Boss?"
"Here," Fu Qingyang's voice came from the front right.
"Catch it, use it, and then put away your sword and cloak!" Zhang Yuanqing threw the Yata Mirror forcefully towards the sound, and there was a "thump" as if it hit something.
It hit Boss, he didn't catch it... Well, it's because of the black smoke. Zhang Yuanqing pretended not to hear, and quickly took out Little Red Riding Hood, shook out an Yin corpse, and then grabbed the Perfect Human Skin and Dragon Qi Amulet, throwing them at the Yin corpse's face!
The Perfect Human Skin stuck to the Yin corpse and wriggled, transforming the Yin corpse into the Devil Eye Heavenly King with an alluring and cunning smile, his lips slightly raised!
Finally, he took out his Natal Spirit Moon and stuck it on his forehead, letting black vine-like patterns cover half of his face!
Having done all this, the footsteps stopped exactly!
Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief and entered Night Wanderer state!
This way, the female statue could only choose between Fu Qingyang and the Devil Eye. If the female statue chose the Devil Eye, then the Perfect Human Skin would bear the consequences!
If she chose Fu Qingyang, she would have to distinguish between the two Fu Qingyangs, who was the real one and who was the fake one. Even if the knife hit the real one, there was still a doppelganger to replace the real Fu Qingyang in the battle!
However, Zhang Yuanqing didn't think the female statue would choose Fu Qingyang as the target!
Firstly, the Devil Eye's Knife Gu Bewitching Eye was a bug-level strong control. Although Fu Qingyang's slashes were unreasonable, the female statue could resist them with her body but couldn't resist the Bewitching Eye.
Secondly, Fu Qingyang and the female statue were both swordsmen, and people of the same profession knew each other well. What was there to be afraid of? It was just a matter of seeing who was sharper and whose weapon was harder!
Based on these two points, Zhang Yuanqing felt that the female statue would definitely choose to strike him or the Devil Eye first if she had any normal thinking!
Of course, if the female statue's attack was rule-based and could see through his concealed state, then Zhang Yuanqing wasn't afraid either, because Night Wanderers had strong vitality, and a mere beheading wouldn't be fatal!
And Fu Qingyang's doppelganger could replace his combat power void, and still be able to deal with the female statue!
As the footsteps stopped, the black smoke quickly retreated!
Fu Qingyang and the Devil Eye glanced at each other first. They both thought the female statue would choose the other as the target. Seeing that each other was safe and sound, they breathed a sigh of relief!
Immediately, they were startled and quickly searched for Zhang Yuanqing. They saw him next to a bush a dozen meters away!
Both Daoist Master of Morality and Qian Gongzi were slightly relieved!
Xiahou Aotian said in surprise, "No one lost their head. Which of you defended against the attack of that ghost statue..."
Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the Yin corpse under his feet, "It's dead! I used it to block the attack of the Yao Guang statue!"
Everyone's eyes followed and landed on the Yin corpse. Its head was rolling on the ground, and its body was covered with a blood-stained human skin!
"Well done! As expected of someone who can compete with Fu Qingyang for the male second lead!" Xiahou Aotian was overjoyed. Although he didn't know what method Zhang Yuanqing had used, in his opinion, resolving a deadly situation was Zhang Yuanqing's due ability!
In the dungeon, the sense of security that Zhang Yuanqing gave people was far higher than that of Fu Qingyang and the Devil Eye Heavenly King!
Fu Qingyang and the Devil Eye didn't bother to ask questions and exchange pleasantries. The former withdrew his gaze and looked at the pavilion, "It's hiding in the pavilion. Doppelganger, go and attract the firepower!"
Doppelganger Fu Qingyang took the sword thrown by the main body and nodded slightly with a cold expression, "Okay."
Immediately, he turned into a training rushing out of the Yao Guang Hall, and the others followed behind him at a certain distance!
Seeing Doppelganger Fu Qingyang rushing into the pavilion, he suddenly retreated. Dense sword energy chased after him like a storm of rain. He landed on the open space outside the pavilion, making a "poof" sound, leaving a deep pit!
Then, shriveled human heads flew out, their eyes were red, and their fangs protruded. Like locusts, they surrounded Fu Qingyang's doppelganger and opened their mouths to spit out two streaks of sword energy!
The head leading the way was Xuanzhen Zhanglao. The sword energy he spat out was particularly sharp, and even the doppelganger didn't dare to take it head-on!
Doppelganger Fu Qingyang waved his iron sword, sometimes dodging, sometimes blocking, and sometimes beheading a head.
Although he fought with ease, he was entangled by the flying head barbarians!
Flying Head Barbarians? Xiahou Aotian was shocked, "No wonder these heads are rotten but not destroyed. It turns out they are all elite monsters!"
"Why has the doppelganger become weaker?" the Devil Eye Heavenly King said!
"Can only copy level 7!" Zhang Yuanqing casually explained, and shouted, "Boss, come back."
Doppelganger Fu Qingyang understood and turned into sword light, escaping back to the others!
Zhang Yuanqing then used Star Escape Technique to appear in the center of the Flying Head Barbarian formation. A golden sun mark appeared between his eyebrows.
His short hair floated up, entangled in golden light, and his skin turned dark gold, as if he had brushed a layer of gold paint!
He gathered a line of energy with both hands and slammed the golden giant sword heavily into the ground!
Immediately, a dazzling golden sun appeared behind his head, and its scorching, clear light shone on a radius of fifty meters, purifying all filth and eliminating all energy!
The flying heads scattered and fled, but how could they be faster than the sunlight? They were all ignited and turned into golden torches all over the ground!
Xuanzhen Zhanglao's head withstood the golden light, and the burnt and incomplete head flew towards the pavilion!
Zhang Yuanqing threw the giant sword in his hand, and the golden light flashed!
The giant sword nailed Xuanzhen Zhanglao's head to the floor at the entrance of the pavilion. The incomplete head struggled for a moment and reluctantly burned into coke!
A level 7 swordsman would have a hard time dealing with it, but the Flying Head Barbarians instantly collapsed in front of the Night Wanderer. Zhang Yuanqing looked at the quiet pavilion and shouted, "Yin Yao, what does my face look like?"
Yin Yao shouted from afar, "Covered in blood, that thing is lying in ambush in the pavilion!"
