Black lake, no ripples.

Elder Han stood by the lake, his half-rotted face looking particularly ferocious under the faint golden light emitted by the golden corpse.The Taoist robe on his body was already in tatters, revealing the blue-black, rock-hard skin underneath.His body was stiff, and his joints made "clicking, clicking" friction sounds, like a machine that had been rusty for many years and was forcibly started.

He looked at the golden corpse, a muddy gurgling sound came from his throat, and the whites of his muddy eyes stared intently at the amber eyes of the golden corpse.

No attack.

There was no welcome either.

Just kind of...confused.

It was as if he was recognizing a long-forgotten signal from the distant past.

The golden corpse stopped by the lake, more than ten steps away from Elder Han.

It didn't speak or move.Just standing quietly, like a golden lighthouse, emitting the only light and heat in this dead darkness.

Lin Qiu and Wang Hu hid behind the golden corpse, not daring to show their anger.

They could feel that this Elder Han was completely different from the previous aloof Law Enforcement Hall elder.

If the previous Elder Han was a cold sword hidden in a sheath, then he is now a walking zombie with his soul hollowed out and only the killing instinct left.

Moreover, the corpse aura on his body was stronger and colder than the smell of the lake water.

"Senior Brother Chen Mo..." Lin Qiu trembled and tugged on the rough clothes of the golden corpse, "He... he seems to still have some consciousness."

The golden corpse lowered his head slightly and glanced at Lin Qiu.

Then, it did something that everyone expected.

It loosened its grip on the "junk".

The picked up and broken jade pendants, shoes, and hoes fell to the ground with a clatter.

The golden corpse walked towards Elder Han step by step with empty hands.

With every step it took, the golden light on its body dimmed a little.

With every step it took, its body made of gravel seemed to be corroded by the dead air of the lake and became a little more transparent.

It's consuming itself.

Elder Han seemed to be irritated.

This intruder actually dared to walk towards him empty-handed!

This is contempt for him!

"Ho--!"

Elder Han let out a low roar. The sound did not sound like a human voice, but more like the roar of a wild beast.He stamped his foot suddenly, and the hard ground cracked instantly.He rushed towards the golden corpse like a cannonball!

The speed is amazing!

Lin Qiu and Wang Hu didn't even see his movements clearly. They only saw a black shadow with a fishy wind coming to the golden corpse!

Elder Han's green-black claws, with nails half a foot long, reached straight for the golden corpse's chest!

If this claw is grasped firmly, a hole will be dug out of the golden corpse's body made of sand and gravel, even if it is made of fine steel!

The golden corpse did not hide.

It just raised a hand.

"Bang!"

Elder Han's claws caught the golden corpse's palm.

There was no energy collision as expected, only a dull sound, like the sound of defeated leather being torn apart.

The body of the golden corpse shook violently.

Countless tiny cracks instantly appeared on its palm made of gravel, and the black death energy spread crazily upward along the cracks, trying to erode the entire arm of the golden corpse.

But the golden corpse did not retreat.
