I……
I'm going to smash my head!
No matter your myriad tactics or schemes, I will break through them with brute force. After all, Lin Yang's armor is of superior quality; Frostmourne simply cannot penetrate its defenses. So what is there to worry about!

Chapter 31: Kel'Thuzad's Coolness Lasts Only Three Seconds
However, while Lin Yang and Arthas were fighting outside Silvermoon City, Kel'Thuzad had already quietly arrived at the Sunwell.
At this moment, a death knight, holding an urn of ashes, was walking towards them step by step. Each step was exactly the same distance, and even the force used was exactly the same.
Even after becoming an undead, a death knight, this guy remained as rigid and serious as ever. That's right, he was Arthas's mentor, the vice-commander of the Silver Hand Paladins, Uther the Lightbringer.
(At this time, Lothar was the commander-in-chief of the Paladin Order. Since Lothar was alive, Uther naturally couldn't compete with him.)
(Also, historically, Arthas didn't become a Death Knight; it was likely due to a change in his conscience. At that point, influenced by the butterfly effect, he was directly designated as a Death Knight.)
At this moment, Uther held a massive hammer in his right hand. The Seal of Light on the hammer had long since been replaced with the corresponding Seal of Death, and it emitted faint black light.
This extremely pure dark energy is in no way weaker than Arthas's. It can only be said that the stronger one's faith in the Holy Light in life, the more powerful and pure the dark energy within one's body will be after becoming a Death Knight.
"A messenger of light—no, I should say a messenger of darkness. I never expected him to become so powerful after transforming into a death knight. It seems that a death knight's strength is linked to their faith in life," Kel'Thuzad pondered.
Upon hearing this, Uther remained silent and showed no reaction. He continued his journey towards the Sunwell. In any case, the elves were currently under a negative status effect, unable to unleash even thirty percent of their full power.
In this situation, what did this legendary, peak-level super death knight have to worry about? Not a single elf could withstand a single blow from him!
Upon hearing this, Kel'Thuzad fell silent and instead began to study the subject very seriously. This laid a foundation for the later mass production of Death Knights. After all, Kel'Thuzad was essentially a mad scientist.
They successively developed a series of groundbreaking inventions, such as the undead plague, ghouls, stitched monsters, and death knights, which had a tremendous impact on the entire world of Azeroth!
As they walked, the two arrived outside the Well of the Sun.
Although it is named after a well, it is actually very large, at least larger than a well, and larger than a basketball court; it can be considered a small lake.
As for the lake water, it is not water at all, but rather an accumulation of extremely concentrated arcane energy. It is impossible to contain this well water using normal methods.
Whether it be gold or silver utensils, fine jade, or even wood and bamboo, the county could not hold them. In fact, it was impossible to even touch them with bare hands.
Only arcanists, using their mental powers, can touch or even drink these strange well waters.
"The Sunwell, this is the Sunwell! Such immense energy, it's truly enormous."
Kel'Thuzad had to admit that despite having long known of the Sunwell's fame, he was still incredibly surprised when he actually saw it.
It's made entirely of arcane energy—truly a grand undertaking. And the quantity is so vast; a single well has contributed to the current prosperity of the entire Blood Elf race.
"Haha, I, Kel'Thuzad, am about to be resurrected!"
Perhaps because of his impending resurrection, Kel'Thuzad was unusually talkative today. As he spoke, Uther grew impatient and promptly tossed the Ashbringer into the Sunwell.
“Right now, His Majesty is drawing their attention ahead, so you need to hurry. Otherwise, they're not fools, and once they notice something's wrong, you'll be in danger. After all, you're at your most vulnerable right now,” Uther suddenly said.
Hearing this, Kel'Thuzad wasn't angry. What was there to argue with Uther? Uther was a block of wood, incapable of anger or joy, utterly devoid of anything. He spent his days embracing darkness, his power steadily increasing. Boring, utterly boring.
"Haha, don't worry, with His Majesty drawing their attention, they won't suspect anything. Alright, since you put it that way, I'll begin my resurrection then," Kel'Thuzad said calmly.
Then, the spell began. As the spell progressed, streaks of yellow light emanated from the urn, continuously influencing the surrounding waters of the Sun Well. Increasingly powerful energy fluctuations also gradually appeared.
"Alright, the crucial moment is almost here." With that, Uther raised his black hammer with both hands, and the dark holy seal on the hammer was immediately activated. Visible streams of dark energy immediately emanated from it.
Suddenly, Uther made his move. However, his target wasn't Kel'Thuzad!
"I've found you. Prepare to die!"
At the same time, Kel'Thuzad instantly flew up from the Sunwell. His soul waved, and streaks of ice flashed forth. A white, cold light appeared in an instant.
Everything that touched the light froze. Considering the great hammer in Uther's hand, Shia frowned. Had he really been discovered?
This doesn't make sense! I've been waiting here long before they arrived. The concealment technique I used was incredibly sophisticated. Even with my True Eye, they couldn't see through me!
Moreover, I had been waiting here for a long time and had hidden myself well. I hadn't revealed the slightest flaw. How could I have been discovered at this time?
That makes no sense!
But feeling the approaching ice and the almost tangible Death Hammer, Shia couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Forget it, I'll give it a shot. I have a feeling this is a trap!
Despite much deliberation, only a fleeting moment had passed in reality. Having made his decision, Shia continued to remain hidden in the void, leaving no trace.
Soon, Uther lowered his hammer completely. Kel'Thuzad's cold glint stopped once more.
After carefully observing his surroundings, Uther said calmly, "I always felt like someone was watching us, but it seems I was just being paranoid."
Upon hearing this, Kel'Thuzad smiled and said, "Better safe than sorry, better safe than sorry."
With that, Kel'Thuzad took the Ashbringer and headed towards the bottom of the Sunwell. Before descending, he casually cast several detection spells.
However, Uther remained alert, gripping the hammer tightly with both hands, showing no sign of letting his guard down.
Seeing this, Shi A couldn't help but nod. The old man before him was quite persistent and pure. It was just a pity that he was already dead.
Moreover, it doesn't matter when I kill that archmage; all I need to do is take out my dagger and make a light cut. It won't take much effort, so the difference in strength is irrelevant.
Of course, more importantly, what if there's a trap? Who can guarantee that what's happening right now is truly a resurrection? And I don't understand the magic of this world. Therefore, for safety's sake, the best opportunity to strike is when this person truly resurrects!
