Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 220: Chapter 218: White-eyed Corpse Puppet

”Want to know more? Once you become my corpse puppet, I’ll tell you slowly.”

Ding Yanyun spoke nonchalantly, the three Black-eyed Corpse Puppets were already closing in, silently swinging their fists.

The powerful wind pressure reappeared, with just one punch shattering numerous rocks on the slanted mountain slopes.

Song Changming used the Flying Thunder Technique to accelerate, easily evading the siege of the three Black-eyed Corpse Puppets. He lightly leaped up, withdrawing and slicing down with a Flame Saber.

A flash of fire swept past, the long sword’s momentum unstoppable!

One of the Black-eyed Corpse Puppets immediately had its head separated from its body.

”Hmm! Not only does he possess the strength of the Third Layer Qi Refining Realm, but his body refining cultivation has also broken through the extreme realm...”

Ding Yanyun realized he had underestimated Song Changming’s strength.

These meticulously crafted Black-eyed Corpse Puppets, in terms of combat strength, each one could face off against a martial artist of the Third Layer Qi Refining Cultivation.

When the three join forces to attack, most martial artists with Third Layer Qi Refining Cultivation would only end up escaping or perishing.

”Truly top-grade material!” Ding Yanyun looked at Song Changming, his eyes growing brighter.

The more he observed, the more Song Changming’s physique seemed perfect as refining material for a corpse puppet.

To the extent that losing one Black-eyed Corpse Puppet didn’t make him feel regret.

As long as he could refine Song Changming into shape, any loss was acceptable to him.

”You go!”

Ding Yanyun summoned back the remaining two Black-eyed Corpse Puppets while giving orders to the White-eyed Corpse Puppet nearby.

The White-eyed Corpse Puppet moved silently, walking toward Song Changming.

Unlike the other Black Rock Corpse Puppets, he was wearing exquisite leather armor and not empty-handed, swinging fists.

Instead, he drew the long sword from his back, a strong sword intent surging from his body, faintly contending with the sword intent on Song Changming.

The Corpse Puppet, due to its exceptionally strong physical body and fearlessness of death, wasn’t afraid of injury as long as its head was protected.

The best combat style for the Black-eyed Corpse Puppets is to fully utilize their strong body to defeat enemies with fists and feet.

However, this White-eyed Corpse Puppet before us often possessed considerable martial prowess before death.

Hence, once refined into a corpse puppet, it retains its martial arts mastery and can display it, which is far stronger than purely leveraging physical strength.

The two Black-eyed Corpse Puppets retreated, but Song Changming wasn’t planning to let them go, exploding with speed and unleashing surging Sword Qi with his long sword.

Fire God Saber Technique: Great Sun Wheel Slash!

Buzz!

The two Black-eyed Corpse Puppets attempted to retaliate, but were slashed apart by Song Changming’s powerful strike.

The arms and heads of the two Black-eyed Corpse Puppets were all severed and fell apart.

”Damn!” Ding Yanyun was quite annoyed now.

If he had known, he would have dispatched the White-eyed Corpse Puppet directly instead of sending the three Black-eyed Corpse Puppets to their death.

As Song Changming landed, the White-eyed Corpse Puppet arrived in front of him, slashing at him with the long sword.

There was no inner Qi fluctuation from its body, nor was there Sword Qi on the sword. It only had the swordsmanship mastery from when it was alive, able to execute exquisite Sword Forms.

Combined with its more formidable physical strength than the Black-eyed Corpse Puppets, this Sword Might is much stronger than it was when alive!

Song Changming raised his sword, trying to block the incoming slash.

However, the unique terrifying strength of the high-level Corpse Puppet burst forth, directly slashing him into the air.

Song Changming’s body crashed through several giant trees and rocks, landing against a rocky wall hundreds of meters away.

Even the rock wall shattered into pieces upon impact with his back.

Shaking his head, Song Changming slowly stood up, looking at the White-eyed Corpse Puppet in the distance.

In the past, he always overpowered opponents with sheer strength. This time, it was him being slashed away.

Such an occurrence hadn’t happened for many years.

Despite these opponents likely not being considered people...

Of course, his momentary awkwardness was also because he wasn’t standing firm and was caught off-guard by a preemptive strike.

But regardless, this was a rare occasion for Song Changming to encounter an opponent with a physical strength and power level close to his, even posing a serious threat.

It could only be said that the Corpse Refining Sect, as an Outer Domain major sect standing and developing for so many years, hasn’t toppled for good reason. Its foundation, the Corpse Puppets, naturally has extraordinary and even unrealistic outstanding aspects!

On the Black-eyed Corpse Puppets, he hadn’t felt it deeply.

But with the appearance of the White-eyed Corpse Puppet, he finally understood why the esteemed Wangyue Pavilion was locked in a stalemate with the Corpse Refining Sect, unable to reach a conclusion to this day.

Powerful corpse puppets indeed have the capability comparable to top martial artists of Da Han.

The crux is that the Corpse Refining Sect can mass-produce these powerful corpse puppets as long as they have good materials.

If someone possessed an army of corpse puppets, it would be unimaginable!

Bang!

Seeing Song Changming not having been killed with one slash, the White-eyed Corpse Puppet charged straight toward him again.

With both feet exerting force, it stomped on the rocky ground, causing it to collapse.

Along its path, giant trees and rocks were all crushed by its physical impact.

Like a tank rolling over!

Song Changming circulated the three Qi vortexes within him at high speed, releasing an endless stream of powerful inner Qi.

Under the intense manifestation of the sword intent, the inner Qi transformed into layers of Fire Attribute Blade Qi, hovering around him and on his long sword.

He took a deep breath, inhaling wisps of flames along with the air into his nose and mouth.

In the next moment, Song Changming wielded the sword with both hands, slicing forward with great effort.

Flames instantly swept out, forming a fiery vortex in front of him, engulfing the charging White-eyed Corpse Puppet.

Boom!

The twin blades clashed again, and the long sword in the White-eyed Corpse Puppet’s hand was evidently not an ordinary mundane sword. Otherwise, it couldn’t withstand the intensity of this level of collision impact.

The flame vortex was forcibly scattered by the Powerful Qi on the sword.

One man and a corpse puppet each took half a step back, crushing the ground beneath their feet.

Then, they once again engaged in a fierce battle.

Long swords clashed ceaselessly, quickly reaching dozens to hundreds of exchanges.

”Is this for real...” Ding Yanyun was utterly astonished by the scene.

He knew Song Changming’s physical strength surpassed the Body Refining Extreme Realm, yet didn’t expect him to be strong enough to rival his own White-eyed Corpse Puppet and hold his ground.

”Clearly, he only has Third Layer Qi Refining Realm cultivation...”

The duel between one man and a corpse puppet caused the surrounding mountains to crumble as if two monsters were wrestling in collision.

Occasionally, flames burst out in the mountains, and sometimes the Wind Dragon roared!

Previously, most of Song Changming’s opponents couldn’t withstand one or two slashes from him before being defeated, thus his advantage in mastering two sword techniques wasn’t evident.

Only in evenly matched battles like now could this advantage in swordsmanship be displayed.

Song Changming’s Sword Forms were unpredictable, as if with endless variables, impossible to defend against.

The longer he fought, the greater this advantage became.

Soon, the White-eyed Corpse Puppet began to lose ground in swordsmanship competition, being slashed multiple times by Song Changming.

Had it been a normal martial artist, getting slashed so many times by Song Changming would undoubtedly lead to severe injury and defeat.

However, the White-eyed Corpse Puppet was completely unaffected by injury, remaining effective until Song Changming severed half its arm, slightly weakening its strength.

”This kid!” Ding Yanyun panicked slightly, immediately pulling out a slab of mist gold.

The plentiful Scorching Mist Energy, like flowing water, surged into the thick mist behind him.

The next moment, a heavy breathing sound came from the mist.

Shortly after, a gust of wind cleared the mist, revealing a Blue Ice Bird.

The Blue Ice Bird, akin to the Black Soul Crow, was a notorious fierce creature from the Outer Domain.

According to legend, wherever it went, it freezed thousands of miles around, extinguishing life, bringing catastrophe as a fierce bird!

Presently, the Blue Ice Bird transformed into a Fog Beast became even more terrifying.

Under Ding Yanyun’s control, the Blue Ice Bird swooped toward Song Changming.

It had two pairs of bright blue wings, and though it wasn’t freezing thousands of miles as the legends said, it enshrouded this small mountain peak in frost, rapidly dropping the surrounding temperature.

Facing Song Changming, it opened its mouth and spat out a cold current.

Unprepared, Song Changming got caught in the cold current, feeling intense cold invading his body. His entire body became cold and stiff, covered by a layer of thick frost.

The White-eyed Corpse Puppet seized the opportunity to slash at Song Changming.

Song Changming retreated, unleashing a burst of Fire Attribute Blade Qi around him, quickly dispelling the cold penetrating his body.

If it weren’t for his mastery of Fire Attribute Martial Technique, he might have been in real danger facing this combined attack from the Blue Ice Bird and White-eyed Corpse Puppet.
