He had a telepathic foresight and glimpsed a huge figure riding a black ghost horse inside the pyramid behind him. The figure was in human form, not very tall, and was shrouded in a thick dark aura, as if he was wearing a hazy black battle robe.

It sat on the back of a black ghost horse like a knight, holding a long black sword high in its hand with the tip of the sword pointing to the dark red sky, as if calling on the power of the God of Night with the sword. Then, the black breath under the clouds was seen stirring more and more violently!

The power unleashed by the Dark Knight was enough to shake an area of ​​several kilometers. He was an absolute monarch-level creature.

"Zongheng Mingjian!"

The dark knight uttered the language of ancient Egypt, and a majestic voice came. The dark sword intent came from the kingdom of death and came to the world with a strong breath of destruction!

A black sword light that pierced through the sky, with tremendous cutting power and full of domineering aura slashed towards Lu Jun's position. Wherever it passed, deep cracks appeared in the void, shattering the space.

The speed of this sword reached its extreme, and it was too late for Lu Jun to use the high-level magic of instant teleportation. Suddenly, good fortune came to him, and the hundreds of platinum sword lights that were originally fighting in the group of Lijian Deadpools were retracted and gathered into the Taia Sword, which rushed over in an instant.

Whoosh!

Lu Jun's body and sword merged together, and a dazzling flying fairy sword light shot up into the sky, and golden fragments scattered all over the sky. The scene was dreamy and beautiful. At the critical moment, he seized the moment of space and calmly left like a rainbow.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a sword-holding figure and landed on the hill three thousand meters away, like a sword immortal flying eastward with a sword.

His mind was immersed in the beauty of the unity of body and sword. This was the real flying with a sword. With a thought, his body turned into a ray of sword light and flew thousands of miles away. Before this, riding on the giant sword was a third-rate method.

Moreover, the significance of the fifth-level intermediate control weapon is more than that. It is also a great killing technique that can burn everything, sacrifice one's life, put oneself in death and then be reborn, creating miracles.

Chapter 376 Dark Duel Contract

Lu Jun doesn't want to have to use a self-sacrificing attack one day. That would mean he is in a desperate situation. He would use the strength of the six types of magic, and even sacrifice his soul and life. The sword he released would be as bright as a meteor.

Although the current monarch creature is strong, he has defeated it before, so there is no need to use self-sacrificing sword moves.

On the hill several kilometers away, he turned around and looked back, and caught a glimpse of a tall figure illuminated by the dark light of the pyramid. With a casual strike of the sword, it directly cut a deep gully stretching for thousands of meters in the ground, leaving a strong sword mark.

Dark Sword Master! Sub-monarch level!

Seeing this, Lu Jun's mind turned, and he recognized the humanoid knight demon shrouded in darkness. In his memory, the mirage pyramid in the Egyptian city of Pushi was guarded by a dark sword master.

This situation is extremely rare. Monarch-level creatures will only guard the real pyramid, not the mirage, because the demons at this level are extremely intelligent and will not foolishly mistake the illusion unless they do it on purpose.

If Deadpool is the Pharaoh's close bodyguard, then the Lord of Darkness is the general who commands the palace guards.

Lu Jun guessed that this Dark Sword Master probably swallowed some dark treasure by accident, and luckily was promoted from the peak of the commander level to the sub-monarch level, which is why he has been guarding the Mirage Pyramid.

This is fatal, beyond the city of Pushkini's ability to cope with, and even beyond expectations.

It should be noted that when facing the mirage this time, the city-state of Pushini only dispatched three super-class mages. One stayed in the city to guard the base camp, and the other two led the army to fight.

Two super-class mages alone are not enough to kill the Dark Sword Master.

Especially since the three super-class mages are all ordinary super-class mages, the kind of single-system super-class mages without supernatural powers.

Lu Jun's thoughts probed into the space in his body, the bottle of time and space liquid filled with crystal clear liquid. He hesitated whether to use his trump card to fight against the Dark Sword Master.

He had faced monarch creatures several times, but he had basically had to rely on external forces to fight them, and there had been no precedent of killing them so far, which made him eager to take action.

However, when he saw four hundred more Fiend Sword Deadpools pouring out from under the pyramid, joining the fifty or so that he had killed, and gathering around the Dark Sword Master, with their combined power and a dark aura covering the sky, he couldn't help but give up the idea.

If it was just the Dark Sword Master alone, he could let the mermaid girl take the Liquid of Time and Space and merge them into one, and then he could try to kill the Dark Sword Master.

But if the monarch is surrounded by a group of demons, it will not be so easy to deal with them. It is better to wait for the Egyptian army to gather.

As for the Blood Abyss Curse, it temporarily transforms into the White Tiger God state, but its endurance is too low. It is not very magical if you want to kill the monarch creature with tenacious vitality within two or three minutes.

Once Lu Jun rashly steps into the pyramid and is surrounded, he will be doomed. According to the original text, the five hundred Evil Sword Deadpools cannot even deal with a super-class wizard.

The main thing is that they can combine to form a sword formation, cooperate with each other, and have incredible killing power.

Rumble!

As soon as Cao Cao was mentioned, he arrived. Lu Jun thought of the army and heard roars and sounds of fighting coming from the hills behind him.

The army turned into a raging torrent, and in one go they broke through the Forest of Crazy Corpses. Magic roared all over the sky, light illuminated the dusk, and the breath of destruction swept endlessly...

The Dark Sword Master under the pyramid shifted his gaze away from him and turned his attention to the thousands of mage troops in the city of Pushini.

The figure of the Night Thunder Dream Beast quietly emerged beside him, carrying him into the shadows and quickly heading towards the most famous forty-year-old majestic woman in the center of the army, Staff Officer Finna, who was also a super-class magician.

Lu Jun wanted to pass the news about the Dark Sword Master and the Vicious Sword Deadpool to Finner. In the original novel, the army suffered heavy losses in these two aspects and was almost wiped out.

In the center of the army, the six wings of wind rose behind Finner, overlooking the battlefield. Suddenly, he sensed the movement of shadows nearby. He mistakenly thought that a professional assassin undead was coming to kill him, and almost took action.

Fortunately, Lu Jun spoke in time: "It's me, Staff Officer Finner."

Finna raised his majestic eyebrows and said in a low voice, "It's you? Lu Jun, the captain of the Huaxia Guofu team. I know you. You led a Guofu team to break through the poisonous gold mummy. You did a good job. What do you want now?"

Lu Jun said solemnly: "I have urgent military information. This time, the mirage pyramid has a monarch-level creature, the Dark Sword Master."

When these words came out, Wansko next to him was shocked and almost jumped up and shouted: "What did you say?! Is it true?"

Then screams were heard from the front, and large numbers of human mages were killed like being mowed down.

Lu Jun said calmly: "You have seen it now, don't you believe it?"

"No!" Wansko swallowed and suggested to Staff Officer Finner: "General, let's evacuate and launch the attack after we are ready."

“Hehehe…” Finner sneered, “Look around you!”

The last five kilometers are the area with the highest density of undead and also the strongest undead. Dark-colored corpses are scattered throughout this large yellow basin, and the mirage of the pyramid is right in the center of the basin.

The battle situation gradually changed from being orderly at the beginning to being extremely chaotic. The undead forest-like crowds made it impossible to see where the pyramids were. Many troops had lost their direction and could only fight the undead instinctively.

Once Finner ordered a retreat, the entire army would collapse and would not be able to organize a complete retreat. Most of the mages would then have to stay here.

Only a few high-level warriors can escape unscathed.

What's more, the terrifying thing about the undead is that they can resurrect the dead. When they come again next time, using this army as nourishment, they will face a stronger group of undead.

"We can't leave. We have to destroy the mirage in one go. As long as the mirage disappears, the city of Pushini will be safe!"

Finner stood up resolutely, flapping the wings of wind behind him, and took the initiative to face the Dark Sword Master.

However, as a super-class wind mage, she was good at dodging but lacked attack power. At best, she could only deal with the sub-monarchs and was unable to stop the Dark Sword Master from wreaking havoc.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jun frowned. More than a dozen members of the National Government on the battlefield realized that something was wrong and gradually gathered around him.

Guan Yu asked nervously: "Captain, what should we do now?"

Mu Tingying said with a sad face: "How about we run? Otherwise, the whole army will be wiped out and we will die together."

Hearing this, Mo Fan strongly objected and sneered, "If we can't run away, wouldn't that make us cowards and deserters?"

He made up his mind to use the liquid of time and space, feed it to Yan Ji, and transform into the Fire Queen to turn the tide.

Although the impact range of monarch-level battles will also result in the death of a large number of army mages, there is no better way.

"Let me take action." Lu Jun suddenly said calmly: "I have an idea to restrain the Dark Sword Master alone without affecting others."

Huh? Everyone was puzzled and asked, "What's the solution?"

"Dark Duel Contract!" Lu Jun explained: "The Dark Sword Master is a creature that has signed a contract with the Dark Lord, so he must abide by some dark contracts."

"One of the dark contracts is that if someone challenges it to a duel, it will accept it unconditionally, because darkness has given it the ability to be reborn and powerful, and it will not allow the Dark Lord to be challenged in any way."

Jiang Yu was stunned: "Dark Duel Contract, why haven't I heard of it?"

Chapter 377 Parthenon Magic

Within the battlefield several kilometers of the Pyramid Mirage.

Jiang Yu was suspicious. He was a student of Pang Lai and was familiar with all the monsters in the world. He could be called an encyclopedia of monsters. However, he had never heard of any duel contract with the Dark Sword Master.

Because this is too illogical, how can a demon be so "simple"? Just because someone else initiated a challenge, would they give up the advantage of being surrounded by their tribe and readily agree?

Even Xinxia's temple guardian knight Kuro, who was standing next to her, said with disdain: "My family has been operating in Egypt for so long, why haven't we heard of a duel contract?"

Hearing this, Lu Jun glanced at the two of them and said, "Of course you don't know. If he didn't have the memory of the original work, he probably wouldn't know the secret."

In the original timeline, Mo Fan learned about this from Ye Meng'e (Asharuya), with whom he had a close relationship. The other party's contracted beast was the Dark Sword Master, so he learned this secret.

Now, in order to produce decisive evidence to kill Saran, Lu Jun simply suppressed Asharuya severely. Having offended her, it is impossible to communicate personal secrets with her.

"Speaking of which, after arriving in Venice, I wonder if Asharuya will show up and plan to go to the Tyrant Mountains again to verify the existence of the Black Dragon Emperor?"

Lu Jun thought about it, put the matter aside, and said to the few people calmly: "The duel contract of the Dark Sword Master has a prerequisite, that is, the challenger must be one of the dark creatures, or a wizard who practices dark magic."

After saying this, Ai Jiangtu frowned and immediately asked Wankos: "Does your staff officer Finner practice dark magic?"

Military Control Commissioner Wangkos turned pale and shook his head. Although he did not quite believe the secrets that Lu Jun said, he still had hope in the end. However, the harsh conditions now destroyed all this hope.

Ai Jiangtu sighed, feeling that it was completely hopeless to break through the pyramid.

Everyone in the government, including the healing wizards from the Parthenon and other third-party reinforcements, began to consider how to retreat safely.

They looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts. More than a dozen people in the melee had intentionally gathered together just for this moment.

A group of young high-level people, who are good at both fighting and assisting, have a high chance of escaping from the monarch.

At this time, Lu Jun stepped out from the crowd, looked around at everyone and said calmly: "I practice dark magic, so let me be responsible for initiating the dark duel and restraining the dark sword master. You wait for the opportunity to destroy the mirage of the pyramid."

The members of the government had different expressions and remained silent.

Huh? Zhao Manyan hesitated to speak, wanting to ask if Lu Jun had lost his mind. A high-ranking official was fighting a sub-lord? !

Before he could speak, the female temple mage beside him took a breath and asked in a pleasant voice: "You are such a reckless man. Not only did you break into the poisonous gold mummy army alone, but you also want to confront the monarch?"

Lu Jun looked in the direction of the voice and was slightly startled to see that it was a tall woman who spoke. Her waist was as flexible and slender as a snake, her chest was as high as a hill, and she had a devilish figure with exaggerated proportions that even the thick white skirt could not hide.

Not to mention the female mage's pair of white and long legs that were faintly visible under the white translucent skirt, which was very tempting and alluring.

Because the feature of 'thin limbs bearing abundant fruits' was so memorable, he suddenly remembered that it was the female temple mage who had given him three layers of buffs in a row when he was defeating the group of poisonous golden mummies.

He slightly shifted his gaze and looked at the other person's face, and was surprised to find that she was extremely beautiful, with the deep, three-dimensional features of a European and American man and the soft beauty of an oriental girl. She looked a bit like a mixed-race person, and overall looked like a big sister four or five years older.

When Lu Jun met the half-smile of the female mage, his expression remained unchanged. There was nothing he could do about it, this figure was far more eye-catching than her face. Inwardly he complained that is it a rule that healing mages have big ambitions?

Seeing this, Xinxia quickly and softly introduced: "This is Sister Jun, who took great care of me at the Parthenon."

"Hmm? Chinese?" Lu Jun concentrated and saw that the word "Jun" was pronounced in Chinese. He asked in surprise, "There are Chinese people in the Parthenon?"

The female mage smiled and shook her head, and said in poor Chinese: "I am a Greek national, born in a small family in the Parthenon, and my mother is Chinese. You can call me by my Chinese name, Jun Yaojin."

She casually mentioned her background and said in a boastful tone, "I looked up a lot of Chinese books to come up with this name. It's not bad, isn't it?"

After these words came out, not only did Xinxia hold her forehead, but even the people in the government looked strange, and they really wanted to complain, "What Chinese books did you read to get your name, young lady?" It especially sounds like the name of a Mahsuri novel.

Lu Jun did not delve too deeply into the existence of the mixed-race female temple wizard. There were several apprentice temple maids sent to the Egyptian city-state of Pushini for support. Just because the original novel did not mention it did not mean that it did not exist in reality.

At the moment, the battlefield was urgent. He stretched out his hand and pressed, rejecting all opinions, and said with unparalleled courage: "No need to say more. In the past, I was able to kill the Lu family and exterminate the entire family. I had my own trump card, and it is the same today."

"You just need to do one thing, destroy the mirage."

Mo Fan's eyes flickered. He had wanted to challenge the Dark Sword Master on behalf of Lu Jun, but seeing that the other party insisted on his own opinion, he could not say anything else. He patted his chest and promised proudly: "Old Lu, go without worry. I will definitely dispel the pyramid illusion."

"Alas!" Jun Yaojin was anxious, and quickly switched back to International Language and said, "Why don't you listen to my advice?"

Lu Jun ignored it, the water surged under his feet, and he rushed towards the Dark Sword Master on the dark waves.

The mixed-race female mage showed a helpless look on her face, and she changed her tone and shouted: "Hey, that Chinese man, let me give you a little help before the battle."

Unexpectedly, Lu Jun just waved his hand and said, "No need."

No matter how restrained the attributes of high-level magic are, it is still vulnerable to the high-level combat power of the Dark Sword Master.

Despite this, Jun Yaojin stamped her feet, and she, who was kind-hearted, still sent her blessings to Lu Jun! A strong sacred aura surged throughout her body, outlining countless star tracks, with emerald green and milky white shining brightly.

Blessings: Strengthening! Pray for blessings: ward off disasters and eliminate bad luck! High-level blessing method: Resurrection of the Ancient Power! High-level healing magic: Aquarius Star Constellation!

After Jun Yaojin finished everything, she prayed silently. If the Dark Sword Master was not so hopelessly powerful, she would not have been willing to abandon the Egyptian people and escape by herself.

Buzz!

With every step Lu Jun took forward, he was enveloped in layer upon layer of holy magical light, like a god, and his momentum continued to rise.

He sensed the situation inside his body and was slightly surprised. The basic strengthening spell is the most basic magic of the blessing mage. When Nan Rongni cast it, it increased the power of Mo Fan's shadow magic by more than 30%. If it was cast by an orthodox Parthenon maid, it would increase the power of the entire system by 30%.

There is no need to say much about the intermediate blessings and high-level ancient divine powers, each has its own magical uses.

But Lu Jun did not rely on it. Once he used the power of ascension from the Blood Abyss Curse, the effects of these enhancements would be weakened to the minimum.

However, his big movement attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield. The Dark Sword Master and Staff Officer Finner who were fighting stopped and looked over.
