Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 200 – 168 What’s wrong with you guys?

Gold, Silver, Copper, Iron,

Heaven, Earth, Profound, Evil!

The so-called Evil Corpse is an existence that surpasses the Golden Corpse. The refinement process also differs from the four types of Corpse Training: Gold, Silver, Copper, and Iron. It cannot be refined from purely dead corpses but must be somewhere between life and death, gathering Evil Qi within the body and taking years or even a decade to refine.

It possesses not only immense strength and extreme speed but also a hint of the liveliness of a living person, unlike the rigid Corpse Puppets of the Golden and Silver Corpses. It can even harness the Evil Qi from Earth’s Veins to rival the Yuan Gang True Essence of the Five Viscera Realm!

If it were just Golden and Silver Corpses, no matter how many, this squad wouldn’t fear them; they could simply retreat first. At noon, the movements of the Golden and Silver Corpses are very sluggish, and it would be difficult for them to catch up with them.

But the Evil Corpse is different!

This is a Corpse Training that can be compared to the existence of the Five Viscera Realm, completely a different concept from the Golden and Silver Corpses!

“Not good.”

Xu Hongyu’s eyes flashed with a dangerous expression, and she made a decisive decision. Suddenly flipping over, she swung out a sword light and collided with two Golden Corpses, then no longer tangled with them but directly abandoned the Golden Corpses and rushed towards the old man from the Heavenly Corpse Sect!

The opponent actually possessed an Evil Corpse; continuing the fight would leave no chance of victory. The only option was to abandon the Golden Corpses, attempt to assassinate their true form, giving her a slight chance of winning, otherwise even fleeing would be difficult!

However,

facing Xu Hongyu’s incoming sword, that sword light enveloped with triple Sword Momentum.

Lai Long simply raised his left arm with composure, showing his withered hand similar to a chicken’s claw. He joined two fingers together as a sword, and with a flick and a leap in the air, collided with the sword light, forcibly shattering it and clamping onto the sword blade.

“Although I can refine an Evil Corpse, I have also been tempered by Evil Qi. If you had mastered Artistic Conception, perhaps you could pose a threat to me. But with just these skills, you are still far from able to kill me.”

Lai Long spoke indifferently.

Xu Hongyu, facing danger, did not lose her composure nor respond verbally. With a flick of her wrist, her Soft Sword escaped from Lai Long’s two withered fingers. Then, with a swing and a spread, it transformed into countless sword lights, like innumerable raindrops.

These raindrops converged in the air again toward one place, forming a torrential river surging downward, directly slashing towards Lai Long’s head.

“Useless.”

Lai Long still looked calm, his other hand, previously kept behind his back, stretched out now. Both hands continuously crisscrossed in the air, colliding with the oncoming sword lights, releasing a series of clanging sounds like metal on metal. His withered palms seemed even more durable than metal, showing no damage whatsoever during the collisions.

While the fierce battle between Xu Hongyu and Lai Long raged, the situation on the other side took a dire turn.

The Evil Corpse, shrouded in a shroud of black mist, lunged and charged again, surpassing a Green-Clothed Guard of the Demon-Slaying Office. This time it was even more brutal and horrifying, as it literally passed right through the chest of the Green-Clothed Guard!

The guard was clearly wearing a plate of inner armor, but it was to no avail, as the inner armor was penetrated completely, even showing signs of corrosion. The area between the guard’s chest and stomach was utterly hollowed out.

Thud.

His eyes still retained a look of shock, but his life had faded away completely, and his body thudded to the ground.

“This is bad.”

Xiao He saw this scene out of the corner of her eye, and her heart also sank quickly.

Although the Evil Corpse was powerful, it was also difficult to completely conceal its aura in front of a master of the Five Viscera Realm. Thus, in the battle at Purple Mist Mountains, most of the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Sect that fled scarcely controlled an Evil Corpse. Explore more at empire

Most of the Evil Corpses had been destroyed in the battle of the Purple Mist Mountains, but unexpectedly, they encountered another here. With their numbers, they simply couldn’t withstand the power of the Evil Corpse!

Swish!

At that moment, Xiao He also steeled her heart, regardless of the consequences, and clashed with a Silver Corpse, risking being shaken by the Silver Corpse, but she also abandoned this Silver Corpse and rushed towards Lai Long of the Heavenly Corpse Sect. She too understood that only by killing Lai Long would they have the only chance of victory.

“Hmph.”

However, Lai Long, faced with Xiao He’s strike, merely snorted lightly. He didn’t even bother to respond specifically, casually flicking with those withered fingers and forcibly turning Xiao He’s Soft Sword into a curved arc, forcing it to pause in mid-air.

As Xu Hongyu from the Bone Tempering Realm posed a slight threat to him, Xiao He, who only reached Tendon Changing Minor Achievement, posed no threat at all. Besides vital spots, he allowed Xiao He’s attacks to hit anywhere else without care.

Ding Ding Dong Dong!!

Xu Hongyu and Xiao He attacked Lai Long together, their sword lights flying up and down like raindrops, but Lai Long blocked each one.

Even without calling the two Golden Corpses to protect himself, he maintained an indifferent expression, trading blows with Xu Hongyu and Xiao He, allowing the two Golden Corpses to join the other side of the battlefield, swiftly slaughtering the forces of the Demon-Slaying Office.

Originally, they were unable to cope with a single Evil Corpse; now with two more Golden Corpses, it was almost a momentary total collapse. Wherever the Evil Corpse went, a life was taken in the blink of an eye, with no one even able to resist momentarily.

“Now, it’s your turn.”

As Lai Long saw the last person die in the distance, he turned his gaze towards Xu Hongyu and Xiao He, speaking coldly.

Immediately,

Xiao He and Xu Hongyu simultaneously felt a strong sense of crisis rise in their hearts.

Without even needing to look back, they knew it was the Evil Corpse charging from behind. With power comparable to the Five Viscera Realm, even if it was weakened a lot in the midday sun, it was still enough to kill an ordinary Bone Tempering in one strike!
