That iron chain was made of an unknown material, completely impervious to high temperatures.

At this moment, La Guan Gui (Coffin-Pulling Ghoul) had shed two-thirds of its human form. It was as if bones were gradually consuming the human components, leaving only the head, right hand, and right leg in their fleshy human state, while the rest was in the form of human bones.

Moreover, the human bone form gradually advanced from its original white to black.

The Hei Gu (Black Bone) form of La Guan Gui seemed even stronger, pressing the three-meter-tall fire giant in a frenzied attack, leaving behind afterimages of the iron chain.

Under the relentless assault, the three-meter fire giant gradually shrunk in size, beaten back to human dimensions.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse!

"Sect Leader Heng!"

The North Protector roared with trembling hands.

"I'm here!"

Sect Leader Heng had come, enduring his injuries. He leaped high into the air, clapped his hands together, then separated them, clenching both fists. The vajra rings hummed loudly, as if the fists of an angry Vajra Buddha were descending!

In that instant, a sentence flashed through Tianlong's mind: Do you know a fist technique that comes from the sky?

"Vajra Fist!"

With a muffled sound, La Guan Gui seemed to be controlled, freezing in place. Sect Leader Heng's heavy fists came crashing down.

Boom! Boom!

One fist struck the chest, the other the head.

Crack!

Under the immense pressure, La Guan Gui's body and skull simultaneously cracked, with five or six fractures spreading out.

The terrifying brute force even smashed its body, along with the white bone coffin, directly into the ground, creating a large, deep pit, sinking the body dozens of meters below.

"Ha... ha..."

After landing, Sect Leader Heng couldn't even stand for a second before collapsing. He was utterly exhausted.

The armless Tian Erjun quickly stepped forward, helping him up, slinging his arm over his shoulder, and retreated while feeding him pills.

"Thank yo..."

Sizzle!

Sect Leader Heng weakly opened his eyes, but before he could finish speaking, a black iron chain pierced through his chest.

Sect Leader Heng was stunned. His pupils contracted, and he blankly glanced at the nearby Tian Erjun. He opened his mouth, his life gradually fading away, his expression frozen in a final, dazed look.

Tian Erjun was dumbfounded.

He stared at the black iron chain that pierced through Sect Leader Heng's back and emerged from his chest, standing straight in the air as if defying gravity, then slowly retracting.

Lacking support, Sect Leader Heng collapsed completely, falling to the ground as a limp corpse.

Turning around, following the direction of the slowly retracting iron chain, he saw that La Guan Gui had completely shed its human flesh, with only its head remaining half-human, half-bone. The rest of its body was entirely black bone, with fragments and cracks still visible, as if Sect Leader Heng's attack had been somewhat overwhelming for it.

Most astonishingly, wisps of black gas emanated from La Guan Gui's body, giving off an extremely ominous feeling.

"Sect... Leader... Heng?"

The North Protector, who was taking medicine to recover, was also stunned.

Just a moment ago, he had been overjoyed, thinking that a turning point was coming, but in the next moment, the power-exhausted Sect Leader Heng was instantly killed.

Looking at the black-boned La Guan Gui in horror, the North Protector couldn't discern its exact strength. He only felt it was unfathomable!

Could it have advanced to another level of power?

The North Protector was frightened by this thought, but soon realized that the reason he couldn't sense the opponent's strength was entirely because of the wisps of black gas emanating from its body, blocking external probes!

In other words, La Guan Gui's strength was likely still at the Disaster level!

"North Protector, use that move! I will use my life to create an opportunity for you!"

Suddenly, Tian Erjun said in a deep voice not far away.

That move?!

"But if it fails, we will both die, and the situation will fall into an irredeemable state!"

"Is there any other chance of winning now?" Tian Erjun said with a miserable smile.

The Green Province's power and the sect's power were fighting against the army of ghouls.

But the situation was not optimistic, and they were even at a disadvantage. Only if they won here could they lead others to final victory.

But now, they were about to be defeated first!

Then... they could only risk their lives!

The North Protector sighed inwardly, knowing that Tian Erjun was right.

But going in head-on like this, their chances of success were too low.

"We can only gamble..."

Tian Erjun was about to boost the North Protector's confidence when he suddenly noticed that La Guan Gui, who had been staring into the distance, suddenly looked at them, with a somewhat astonished expression.

Startled, Tian Erjun and the North Protector subconsciously looked back.

Behind them, a two-headed dog was walking towards them step by step, towards La Guan Gui.

"Lord Han?!" Tian Erjun said in surprise.

"This is..." The North Protector was stunned, until he came back to his senses, savoring Tian Erjun's words, and looked at the dog in shock.

"It is Lord Han?! The living legend of Black Green Mountain, Lord Han!?"

The North Protector was shocked. In his memory, the legends about Lord Han were all about ethereal old men.

How could the real Lord Han be a two-headed dog?

The contrast was too great. This was clearly a ghoul!

While the North Protector was shocked, Lord Han had already passed them, letting Xiao Xuedou walk towards La Guan Gui step by step.

"Found... f-f-f-f-found... can't find... target found... target can't find... target... ta-ta-ta-ta..."

Facing the approaching Lord Han, La Guan Gui seemed to be trapped in a dead loop of programming, tilting its head, spouting incomprehensible words, seemingly very confused.

Lord Han narrowed his eyes.

Originally, Lord Han hadn't planned to take action yet.

His three-in-one combat plan with Xiao Xuedou was not yet mature, and it was risky to control, and the duration would be very short.

Therefore, it had to be used at a critical moment. If not, Lord Han would have been the first to come out to fight La Guan Gui, instead of letting these juniors take the lead.

But now, there was no choice.

Two of the Four Giants had died, one was crippled, and one was seriously injured.

If Lord Han didn't do something, Green Silk County would be finished.

So he stepped forward.

Ignoring La Guan Gui's strange reaction, Lord Han condensed black material on his head, turning it into an arm, and pulled out Xiao Xuedou's Seven Sealing Short Sword!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

A booming sound like a violently throbbing heart immediately rang out.

Xiao Xuedou's eyes visibly turned pitch black, and its body rapidly swelled, growing larger.

By the time Xiao Xuedou was about to walk in front of the confused La Guan Gui, Xiao Xuedou's figure had grown to a height of four or five meters, its forehead split open with a blood-red stone, its entire body like a small hill.

And on this hill, Lord Han's head was as small as a pendant.

But this crucial pendant was suppressing the ghoul's will with its personal will and strength.
