"Lich Emperor Dika?"
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, quickly scanning the information of the BOSS in front of him.
If he guessed correctly, this Dika might be the master or creator of the lich slave Dani.
What was certain was that this guy had lost his body and had been lurking inside the lich slave.
Thinking deeper, perhaps from the very beginning, this lich slave was the bait released by Dika?
And this bait was incredibly real, or rather, it was real.
Whether it was the Treasure Map, the Undying Clan's Underground Palace, or the lich slave inside this treasure chest, they all truly existed.
Even the act of injecting life into the lich slave, awakening it, and the fact that the lich slave would recognize the first person it saw as a close one, were all true.
Because the system information wouldn't lie.
None of these were problematic.
The only issue was that this lich slave had long been controlled by Lich Emperor Dika.
The Health Points that Qian Xingtianxia injected into it were probably absorbed by Dika as well.
Otherwise, the black death energy wouldn't have suddenly grown stronger, burst out, killed Qian Xingtianxia, and taken over his corpse.
"I haven't seen fresh life for so long, and finally, when my soul was about to extinguish, someone delivered life energy to me. Heaven hasn't abandoned me!"
"Qian Xingtianxia," or rather Dika, said with a crazed laugh.
His physical body was destroyed, his soul container damaged, so he could only lodge his fragmented soul in the mind of the lich slave.
He barely survived on the pitifully small amount of necromantic energy from the lich slave.
In that cage-like sea of consciousness, he had been trapped for decades.
Even the lich slave was drained of its necromantic power by him, falling into a long slumber, unable to do anything but be worn down by endless time.
But unexpectedly, the Treasure Map used as bait finally worked!
Today, someone really entered here and injected life into the lich slave, awakening it.
Upon seeing this life energy, Dika immediately absorbed it, restoring a bit of his necromantic power and gaining the ability to act.
As long as he could move, he could absorb more life energy and return to his peak, it was just a matter of time!

"Hahaha, Light Church, prepare to face my wrath, Dika! I will turn you all into my undead army!"
Dika laughed maniacally, recalling how the Light Church had destroyed his body and nearly shattered his soul container!
Then, he looked at Jiang Chen and the terrified Late-night Fairy, sinisterly saying, "I'll use you two as my appetizers!"
With that, he raised his longsword, ready to strike down.
"Wait!"
Hearing Dika's words, Jiang Chen's mind raced, and he immediately stopped him, "Dika, perhaps we can cooperate. I also have a deep hatred for the Light Church!"
"Cooperate?"
Dika sneered, "Then let me make you part of my undead army!"
He then wielded his sword with both hands, unleashing a powerful slash, and a dense black necromantic energy erupted in front of him.
It was a circular area with a five-meter radius, where the black energy surged continuously.
"Necromantic Mountain Shatter Slash?"
Jiang Chen had already retreated in advance, dodging the attack range.
This skill was Qian Xingtianxia's [Mountain Shatter Slash], but with added necromantic energy, its power and range had increased significantly.
"What a weak skill!"
Seeing his attack miss, Dika said dissatisfiedly, then charged forward.
"Whoosh!"
Like an arrow leaving the string, Dika, trailing a long black energy, rushed towards Jiang Chen with incredible speed!
This was [Necromantic Charge], and with the necromantic energy enhancement, the charge speed was ridiculously fast.
Almost instantly, a large sword was suspended above Jiang Chen's head, slashing down.
-362! (Critical Hit)
A damage number appeared above Jiang Chen's head, and his body fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
It was his phantom clone, capable of withstanding a single-target attack.
"The damage isn't particularly high, now it's my turn!"
Jiang Chen reappeared, glanced at his shattered clone, and cast a Healing Spell.
As the white light descended.
The ghostly light in "Qian Xingtianxia's" eyes suddenly extinguished.
Wisps of black necromantic energy emerged from his ears, nose, mouth, and eyes, forming a mass that floated in mid-air.
Moreover, this mass of black energy met the air like snowflakes meeting the scorching sun, gradually dissolving!
Then, "Qian Xingtianxia's" body seemed to lose support and fell to the ground.
At the same time, a damage number appeared above his head:
-5751! (Double Cast)
"Huh?"
Jiang Chen clearly noticed that Qian Xingtianxia's health bar was empty!
In other words, he was already at zero Health Points.
"Is he dead?"
Not far away, Late-night Fairy also exclaimed in surprise.
As soon as she finished speaking.
The mass of black energy floating in the air, continuously dissolving, quickly re-entered Qian Xingtianxia's ears, nose, mouth, and eyes.
Then, the fallen "Qian Xingtianxia" stood up again, with two ghostly lights reappearing in his eyes.
"Avoiding damage by leaving the body? Could it be any more absurd?"
Watching this scene, Jiang Chen's mouth slightly opened, a look of astonishment on his face.
It was clear that the black necromantic energy was Dika's true form, and when Jiang Chen cast the Healing Spell, he broke out of the body.
Now that the skill had ended, he returned to Qian Xingtianxia's body.
"I am immortal!"
Dika laughed wildly.
"Immortal?"
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly said, "You probably can't stay out of the body for too long, right?"
"Shut up!"
Dika's face twisted with anger, then he swung his large sword from left to right in a sweeping motion.
A crescent-shaped black necromantic energy shot forward rapidly.
This was [Necromantic Crescent Slash]!
The momentum was astonishing.
Moreover, the range was extremely wide.
Almost instantly, it shot towards Jiang Chen.
"Whoosh!"
The crescent black energy sliced through Jiang Chen's body, also affecting the nearby Late-night Fairy.
Immediately.
A damage number appeared above Jiang Chen's head:
-454!
A number also appeared above Late-night Fairy's head:
-551!
The difference was that Jiang Chen's remaining Health Points stayed at 50% without moving.
While Late-night Fairy's remaining Health Points were less than 10%!
She was a Priest with full Intelligence points, and her total Health Points just broke 600, this attack almost took her out!
"Stay back, or you won't know how you died."
Jiang Chen looked at Late-night Fairy and kindly reminded her.
Of course, it was for Venus' Blessing.
"I'm leaving right away, take care, great one!"
Late-night Fairy seemed to suddenly realize, healing herself while turning to run.
Huh?
She left?
Jiang Chen was stunned, not even having time to speak.
"Trying to escape?"
Dika's voice sounded, and he charged forward, trailing a black energy behind him, reaching Late-night Fairy in the blink of an eye.
Then he swiftly swung his sword down.
-455! (Critical Hit)
Late-night Fairy watched in horror as her freshly healed Health Points, over four hundred, dropped to zero!
Her body slowly fell to the ground.
"This BOSS isn't affected by aggro and can choose its own target?"
Seeing the female Priest fall, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.
"Now, it's your turn!"
Dika looked at Jiang Chen, sweeping his large sword horizontally.
