No effect?

Jiang Chen had sensed a Spatial fluctuation and completed his attack in an instant, but the enemy neither died nor suffered any injuries.

Jiang Chen sneered. Somewhat intriguing, he thought.

Arbuckle had merely caused a Spatial fluctuation. He hadn't fully opened a Space, nor had he truly attacked Jiang Chen.

Arbuckle slowly approached Jiang Chen. "Your Perception is indeed very strong."

Facing the approaching enemy, Jiang Chen didn't move. Instead, he watched to see what Arbuckle was up to. The attack was reminiscent of Uchiha Daitu's style—concealing himself within another Space.

Arbuckle reached out his right hand, grasping towards Jiang Chen. "My name is Arbuckle. I am the Prince of the Underworld Clan. To die by my hand is your greatest honor."

Arbuckle's right hand touched Jiang Chen's chest, penetrating deep into it.

Ji Ma's eyes widened as she witnessed this. Passing directly through the chest, what kind of outrageous Skill was this?

At that moment, Jiang Chen disappeared, reappearing behind Ji Ma.

This guy's ability is outrageous, Jiang Chen thought. He opened a Spatial Rift in my chest, launching an attack directly on my internal organs.

"Let's go," Jiang Chen said.

Ji Ma asked, "We're leaving just like that?"

"You can try fighting them if you like, but you won't last three seconds. You'll be instantly killed."

At this moment, Arbuckle and his five companions had Jiang Chen surrounded.

"Trying to leave? Let's see where you can go."

"Don't even think about escaping this time."

"Swordsman, you can't run away."

Jiang Chen quickly flashed, instantly breaking away from the encirclement. The Underworld Clan might be strong, but they couldn't match Jiang Chen's speed.

Seeing this, Ji Ma immediately used Teleport, following right behind Jiang Chen. The five pursuers swiftly gave chase.

Jiang Chen grabbed Ji Ma, and they rapidly retreated.

Facing spatial-type members of the Underworld Clan, Jiang Chen temporarily had no solution. Not even his Wan Jian Gui Clan could penetrate their Space.

These people, just like Asaye, all belonged to the Super Rare God Class. They were far more powerful than any SS-grade Class. Combined with their unique equipment, the Strength they displayed was much greater than that of an SS-grade Class.

Jiang Chen had no choice but to retreat.

"This is a bit troublesome," Jiang Chen said.

Ji Ma nodded. "They're hiding in another Space. Unless you have the power to break through Space, there's no way to kill them."

"They can only be truly killed if the Spaces are connected."

"Connected Spaces?"

"Yes."

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen said, "There's no need to worry. Don't forget about that Succubus; she's also very strong. Once we enter the final round, they're bound to encounter each other."

"I just don't know if they can withstand the Succubus's attack."

Ji Ma laughed. "Your plan is a good one."

The two of them escaped the pursuit of the Underworld Clan and continued to wait, killing other Underworld Clan warriors they encountered in the meantime.

Just then, a bird's call could be heard.

They looked up at the sky to see a dark shadow coming into view.

Who could this be? they wondered. Daring to fly so openly in the sky, aren't they afraid of being targeted?

Just at that moment, the shadow descended from the heavens, observing Jiang Chen and Ji Ma.

It was a crow, about one meter in length, watching them with its black pupils. Jiang Chen sensed something. He heard no heartbeat and felt no breath.

Jiang Chen said, "This crow has no life in it. It's a Summoned Being, likely from the Corrupted Hero's Summoner."

With a thought, Jiang Chen sent a Sword Qi flying, swiftly striking the crow, piercing through its chest. However, the crow, as if nothing had happened, continued to stare at them.

Ji Ma said, "Summoned Beings are already dead; that approach is useless against them. Only by severing their heads can they be truly killed."

A flash of a sword, and the crow's head fell to the ground.

***

Not far away, a dark shadow slowly rose to its feet. It was the Corrupted Hero Hagen, who was also a Necromancer King. He commanded a dark figure to rapidly charge towards Jiang Chen's direction.

Hagen said excitedly, "I've found the Swordsman you mentioned!"

The Succubus smiled. "That's great. My attacks are ineffective against him; I can only let your Summoned Beings deal with him."

"Ordinary Summoned Beings simply can't withstand him," Hagen declared. "Only a master can. He will become a part of my collection."

"Who did you send?" the Succubus asked.

"A Spatial Series Hero from the Underworld Clan."

"Is it the Spatial Warrior from the Underworld Clan you collected last time?"

"Exactly! Such a powerful Swordsman must be enslaved."

The corners of Hagen's mouth twitched as if he could already see Jiang Chen submitting at his feet.

***

As Jiang Chen and Ji Ma were walking, they saw members of the Underworld Clan appear ahead and immediately stopped in their tracks. Damn it, here they come again, Jiang Chen thought.

Ji Ma said angrily, "I'll give it a try!"

Ji Ma charged forward, her eyes emitting a red glow, attempting to Petrify the opponent. As the Underworld Clan member slowly approached them, Jiang Chen felt something was amiss.

The Underworld Clan member in front of them wasn't one of the previous five. His pupils were black.

Ji Ma, seeing no change in the Underworld Clan member, retreated. "As expected, it's no use. What now?"

Jiang Chen said, "He's not from the Underworld Clan."

"Nonsense! Didn't you see that big person there?" Ji Ma retorted.

"I'll explain later. Let's get out of here now."

Jiang Chen didn't hesitate, grabbing Ji Ma and instantly teleporting away. They vanished from sight.

「In a forest.」

Jiang Chen said, "That Underworld Clan member from before is already dead. It's a Summoned Being. His eyes were black, and he had an aura of darkness about him."

Ji Ma thought carefully and had an epiphany. "That's right! The Summoner must be hiding nearby. If we kill him, it's the same as killing the Summoned Being."

"No rush," Jiang Chen said. "We still have use for that guy."

The strongest aspect of a Summoner is their Summoned Beings. It was clear that the Summoner had turned that member of the Underworld Clan into a Puppet. Killing the Summoner would be easy. However, right now, what Jiang Chen really wanted was to kill Arbuckle from the Underworld Clan. He was Jiang Chen's greatest enemy. Arbuckle's ability was formidable, and Jiang Chen hadn't yet thought of a way to deal with him. All he could think of was to make the Succubus act.

But now that a Summoned Being resembling an Underworld Clan member had appeared, things were different. Arbuckle, upon seeing this, would certainly be furious and would inevitably battle that Summoner. That would be the perfect time to strike. This was precisely what Jiang Chen wanted to do.

A smile touched Jiang Chen's lips as an idea formed. He began searching for Arbuckle, intending to use the information provided by Ji Ma to lure them in.

The five from the Underworld Clan caught up with Jiang Chen, and it seemed the Summoner's Underworld Clan Puppet had also discovered Jiang Chen's trail.

The three groups spotted each other almost simultaneously.

At this moment, Hagen saw the five members of the Underworld Clan through the eyes of his Summoned Being and immediately felt as if he had stumbled upon a treasure. "Succubus," he said, "it's time for you to make a move. Kill the Spatial Warriors of the Underworld Clan!"

"Weren't you tracking down that Swordsman?"

"Yes, but in the process of searching, I encountered these five members of the Underworld Clan. These five are treasures; they are all Spatial type warriors. I want to turn them all into Summoned Beings and have them under my command."

"And what about the Swordsman?"

"Seeing the Underworld Clan, the Swordsman was so frightened he wet his pants! Don't worry. After I capture the five from the Underworld Clan, dealing with him won't be too late. He'll inevitably make it to the finals."

"Where are they?"

"Northwest, two kilometers away. Be quick!"
