Chapter 1565

Damn, that was a fast reaction!

Hearing the roar of shock and anger from outside the ice layer, he couldn't help but curse inwardly. He stopped trying to hide and instead controlled his 'mount' to go full power, digging wildly into the glacier in front of him!

When the Mountain Patrol Woman first consumed the 【Blood of the Dead】, Li Ang was pleasantly surprised to find that, likely due to the mental sluggishness caused by being "near death," her defense of her own heart-lake had suddenly weakened significantly.

But after discovering this huge loophole, Li Ang did not immediately launch an erosion of her heart-lake. Instead, he lowered his erosion intensity while constantly provoking her, stimulating the Mountain Patrol Woman to consume more 【Blood of the Dead】, further weakening her resistance.

When the Mountain Patrol Woman sealed her own senses and the First Dead One appeared to draw away all attention, Li Ang ran out of her heart-lake briefly, picked up the 【Blood of the Dead】 that the Faceless One had snatched and thrown on the ground, and shoved it directly into the Mountain Patrol Woman.

With this final straw that broke the camel's back, the Mountain Patrol Woman, who was already near her limit, lost consciousness without even a groan, and her entire heart-lake was completely occupied by Li Ang.

Immediately after, taking advantage of the infighting among the Dead Realm Sovereigns, Li Ang, who had finally gained full control of the mount, directly controlled the unconscious body of the Mountain Patrol Woman and slipped silently into the 【Frozen Coffin River】.

Who the hell has the time to listen to you guys debate scriptures? I'm just going to dig, dig, dig, dig, dig!

"Stop him! Stop him quickly!"

Hearing the digging sound from inside the 【Frozen Coffin River】, even the stupidest person could react. Amidst the Faceless One's roar of shock and anger, the Dead Realm Sovereigns squeezed into the fissure one after another and began to chase deep inside with their lives on the line.

However, just a few shards of ice dug out were enough to "freeze" an injured Sovereign of Death, so the "density" of death in the entire 【Frozen Coffin River】 could be imagined.

As soon as the Dead Realm Sovereigns entered the hole Li Ang had dug, before they could chase very far, they were all covered in thick white frost, their movements made difficult by the overly dense rules of death.

Although Li Ang could rely on the resistance provided by the Materialist Badge to push forward against the rules of death, the ice walls of the Frozen Coffin River were not ordinarily hard. The Mountain Patrol Woman's fingernails were almost split, and he could only move forward bit by bit.

With each having their own troubles, Li Ang and the chasing Dead Realm Sovereigns engaged in a "speed of life and death" that was shockingly slow, moving forward with difficulty in the ice wall at a turtle's pace.

However, this race did not last long. As everyone went deeper into the Frozen Coffin River, the cold breath of death intensified again, and the speed of the Dead Realm Sovereigns really dropped to the same level as a turtle.

Although Li Ang's speed was also affected, relying on the super-model resistance provided by 【Materialism】, he still pushed forward against the cold, already seeing the ancient coffin frozen in the ice, and was even just a little bit away from digging it out.

This wave is stable!!!

Looking at the blue-black coffin that was already within reach, a look of genuine joy could not help but appear on Li Ang's face.

He knew his own situation; with the manpower the Cleanup Bureau had brought, plus his own trump cards, it was completely enough to sweep through the Dead Realm directly. Only the corpse in this coffin was the final unstable factor.

Thinking that the Dead Realm Sovereigns ambushing the Cleanup Bureau would definitely not all enter the Sage's Cemetery, and if the Cleanup Bureau chased them out and was frozen by this thing, even if they could win, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties, so he had to destroy it as much as possible.

As for the method... let me touch it! One touch is guaranteed to be enough!

Controlling the Mountain Patrol Woman to dig out the coffin and then struggling to pry open a corner, Li Ang immediately switched to 【Secret Art Inheritor (Taurus)】 and reached into the pitch-black coffin.

I certainly can't forge awesome anomalous objects, but I can definitely forge crappy ones every single time!

Whether it's the corpse of a Pillar God or the source of death, as long as I touch it and forge it a little with the secret art of the Taurus Palace, I guarantee it will become super garbage that would even clog a toilet!

"No!"

Seeing the smile on Li Ang's face as he reached out, the Faceless One, who was struggling to move forward behind him, couldn't help but shudder. In the dark, he felt a strange, eerie chill colder than death. "Lamp! Use your lamp quickly!"

Hearing the Faceless One's words, the Old Man with the Lantern, who was following closely behind him, was stunned for a moment, then said hesitantly:

"This is too close, it's very dangerous. If one thing goes wrong, it's easy to take the coffin down with it, and Lord First Dead One's corpse is very sturdy. He would destroy a small part at most, we can completely wait..."

"No! We can't wait!"

Watching Li Ang, who had already crawled out of the Mountain Patrol Woman's chest and had his entire upper body inside the coffin, the Faceless One, whose alarm bells were ringing in his heart, couldn't help but roar:

"Listen to me! If we don't act now, it will be too late!!!"

Fine...

After hearing the Faceless One's near-maniacal roar, although the Old Man with the Lantern felt it was unnecessary, he chose to believe him. He carefully opened his lantern, dipped his missing right hand into a bit of lamp oil, and made a gesture in the air toward the position under Li Ang's feet.

"Crack!"

The tearing sound that had just "sent away" the First Dead One sounded again. Half of the stable ice layer under Li Ang's feet instantly disappeared, replaced by a short section of steep cliff that looked like it had been carved by a knife and axe.

Read every word correctly!

The moment the 【Cliff of the End】, the end of the Dead Realm, appeared, Li Ang's feet, which had just stepped off the cliff, seemed to be sucked by some incomparably huge "gravity." He and the First Dead One's coffin flipped over directly, and it looked like they were about to fall off the Cliff of the End together.

And at this moment, the Engraver, the Faceless One, the Countenance Collector, the Death Workshop Master, Granny Crow-Eye, the River-Digging Yellow Earthworm... a total of six Dead Realm Sovereigns let out a roar almost simultaneously. They briefly broke free from the terrifying oppression of death and lunged toward the direction of the Cliff of the End.

In Li Ang's surprised gaze, the ten arms of the six Dead Realm Sovereigns... and one earthworm tail stained with yellow mud, as if they came from the same body, performed an extremely perfect coordination.

Eight of the arms, coordinated with the River-Digging Yellow Earthworm's tail, grabbed the handles and wrapped around the coffin body, dragging the incomparably heavy coffin of the First Dead One back from the pull of the 【Cliff of the End】.

As for the two fingerprint-less palms belonging to the Faceless One, they had lunged forward without any hesitation from the start, pressing firmly against his chest.

Phew... finally made it in time!

Looking at the coffin that had been forcibly dragged back by the others, the tense Faceless One finally relaxed. He gave Li Ang a strange smile without a mouth or eyes, and then his arms exerted force instantly, pushing the stunned Li Ang violently toward the bottomless cliff!

"Goodbye!"
