“All of you have to die!” The Golden Corpse King’s voice was unpleasant. It sounded like two pieces of tal scraping against one another. He extended his hand towards Mu Qingyun, who was warded off and whose aura was in chaos. His long, sharp nails radiated an icy glow. No one would doubt that his nails were comparable to the best Spell Artifacts in Jiu Zhou.
He had no idea what these people had done, nor did he know the abstrusity of the Divine Opportunity Column. However, he could clearly feel the transformation of the ley lines in the Muddy Sky Temple.
As one of the four biggest Hidden Realms, the Muddy Sky Temple had been a breeding ground for the Corpse Race in the past 1,000 years. Many brilliant Corpse Race mbers were born in this place. It was thanks to the Hidden Realm that Shi Sha had so many Corpse Race mbers working for him now.
But such a sacred place to the Corpse Race saw the depletion of its ley lines, and the World Spiritual Qi inside was thin. Certainly, Shi Sha could never put up with that.
He had been watching the battle, so he knew that the team of eight people was powerful. As such, he had been hiding among the corpses, waiting for a chance to make a move. Although he didn’t manage to kill anyone, he had shattered their formation at the very least.
If he could kill one or two of them, he would have the confidence to destroy the rest. The large crowd of Corpse Race mbers were not weaklings. Regardless of how powerful these people were, they couldn’t kick up a storm.
Faced with the attack, Mu Qingyun was unable to flee. He imdiately activated his power as the Sword Lights penetrated the Void and struck Shi Sha, causing his figure to shake violently upon impact. Shi Sha was left with many wounds, but considering his robust body, the large number of wounds couldn’t harm him fundantally.
Sword Cultivators were known for their ability to kill. Even though Mu Qingyun was one of the most powerful Sword Cultivators, he was still unable to cause any serious harm to Shi Sha with his moves, which went to show how solid the Golden Corpse King’s body was.
The aura of death ca right at Mu Qingyun’s face. At the most critical mont, a towering figure appeared out of nowhere, standing between Mu Qingyun and Shi Sha.
He was none other than Yang Yuan. His burly figure was like an impenetrable barrier, giving Mu Qingyun a great sense of safety at this mont. His vitality and Spiritual Power intertwined with one another as he held a Spell Artifact-level shield in front of him. He managed to ward off Shi Sha’s fatal attack.
Finally, Mu Qingyun let out a breath of relief. Just now, he thought that he was dood. But as soon as he beca at ease, he heard so strange noise. He and Yang Yuan were astounded at the sa ti.
A cracking sound was heard coming from the shield in front of Yang Yuan. Shi Sha had dug five holes in it with his fingers. His nails penetrated the barrier and radiated a dazzling glow.
“No way!” Yang Yuan’s pupils dilated as disbelief was written all over his face.
There wasn’t ti for him to be in shock. The glow from the shield dimd, and the spirituality was lost. Shi Sha’s hand broke through the shield, and his nails jabbed into Yang Yuan’s chest.
As a Body-tempering Cultivator, Yang Yuan was confident that his body was strong enough to ward off the spells of Spell Cultivators in the sa Realm. But at this mont, the body he was most proud of was as fragile as paper.
He felt a sharp pain in his chest. Very soon, Shi Sha would destroy his heart and end his life.
Suddenly, a fiery light appeared beside Yang Yuan. As the figure twisted in mid-air, a dazzling Saber Light slashed at Shi Sha’s neck.
The power of the attack hadn’t been fully activated. Shi Sha’s golden pupils dilated, for he could feel how nacing the attack was.
The attack might not end his life, but if he was struck by it, he would suffer miserably.
Therefore, the mont he saw the attack, he retreated without hesitation and disappeared among the corpses. He also quickly curbed his aura to make sure no one could detect his presence.
The person who ca out of nowhere to save Yang Yuan was Lu Ye. He also destroyed so Corpse Race mbers while he was at it.
Yang Yuan tottered and felt cold all over his body. If Lu Ye hadn’t saved him in ti, he would’ve gone to Hell.
Ever since Ying Wuji fell into danger, these eight people from Jiu Zhou had been helping each other out. Until Shi Sha retreated, only five breaths of ti had passed. In these five breaths of ti, they faced several life-and-death monts.
Blood was seen streaming down from the corner of Lu Ye’s mouth. Shi Sha’s attack was destructive, after all.
Yang Yuan’s breathing was unstable. Although Shi Sha didn’t manage to kill him, he had injured him. At the sa ti, he had also injected Source Corpse Poison inside his body.
Fortunately, before they ca to this place, they had acquired so pills specially made by Hua Ci.
Although she could dispel Source Corpse Poison, the pills she made weren’t so effective. The pills could only prevent Source Corpse Poison from breaking out for a while so that the poisoned cultivators had more ti to go back and seek treatnt.
Noticing the anomaly in his body, Yang Yuan quickly fished out a pill and consud it.
They got into their formation again as their powers complented each other. However, they were not as invincible as before. That was because the mont a gap was ford in their formation, they were also injured. Also, after they endured such a long ti of an intense battle, their powers had been affected.
“Lu Yi Ye!” As the only Spell Cultivator in the team, Lu Qing was surrounded by his teammates. It was also the safest spot. However, among the eight of them, he had killed the highest number of Corpse Race mbers. Even Lu Ye wasn’t comparable to him in this regard. Spells that could cover a large area were lethal in such an environnt.
“All of us are going to lose our lives here. What do you think of that?”
It wasn’t that he was trying to bla Lu Ye. Before their departure, they were aware that the trip would be dangerous, but it turned out that the situation was more perilous than they thought.
He had willingly decided to take action with Lu Ye, so he wouldn’t bla the latter for the consequences that his decision had brought about.
They were among the most brilliant cultivators in Jiu Zhou, so they knew they should be responsible for their own decisions. However, before his death, Lu Qing just wanted to say sothing.
“I wouldn’t dare think of anything!” Lu Ye continued to wield his saber as the red Saber Light flickered. Every ti he cast an attack, a lot of Corpse Race mbers would collapse to the ground. The dead Corpse Race mbers had been piled up like a mountain, but even more of them were swarming towards him.
“It’s unfortunate that I have to die with you.” Lu Qing let out a sigh.
“I’m over the Moon!” Feng Rulie guffawed like a madman. If Ju Jia hadn’t pulled him back, he would’ve charged towards their enemies.
“Lu Yi Ye, I’ve been putting up with you for a long ti!” Ying Wuji shouted while he was wielding his machetes to destroy the Corpse Race mbers. It was as though he wouldn’t have a chance in the future if he never vented his anger now. “You’ve been bossing around just because you’re more powerful. Who do you think you are? If not for the fact that I couldn’t defeat you, I would’ve made you kneel and beg for my rcy!”
Lu Qing guffawed and said, “To cultivators, power is everything. You should get over it, Ying Wuji.”
“That’s because you haven’t spent ti with him alone. If you had, you would’ve known how terrible he was. He made do all the hard work while he stayed idly by on the sidelines. I’m also a powerful cultivator with a bright future, but he has no regard for at all. He’s so abominable!”
Lu Qing teased him, saying, “Aren’t you worried he’ll hack you to death now?”
Ying Wuji straightened up. “Why would I be worried? We’re going to die anyway.”
“That’s very brave of you.” Lu Qing gave him a complint.
Suddenly, Ying Wuji let out a sigh. “Lu Yi Ye, even though you’re a horrible guy, you’ve saved my life on several occasions. I’m worried I can’t repay your favour in my lifeti. I’ll do that in my next life.”
“By becoming his servant?” Lu Qing laughed.
“In his dreams! Perhaps I’ll be the one saving his life in the next life.” Ying Wuji had so dreams about his next life.
“Will you stop the nonsense and kill more Corpse Race mbers?” Lan Zi Yi couldn’t take it anymore. Although they were doing their best to fight the enemies despite the hardship, what was with the strange atmosphere?
Just then, a turn of events took place.
Initially, nothing would happen after the Corpse Race mbers were killed. But at this mont, after they destroyed the Corpse Race mbers, so dots of light would exude from the dead bodies and fly towards the back of their hands. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ nοvelfire
It was the most conspicuous for Lu Qing, who had been using spells to kill the enemies. A lot of dots of light reached the back of his hand and disappeared. The second person who got the most dots of light was Lu Ye.
All eight of them were startled. “What are these?”
Soon enough, they realised what was going on. They quickly sank their souls into their Battlefield Imprints.
The next mont, all of them were elated. That was because their Battlefield Imprints, which had been unreactive since their arrival in the Peerless Continent, started functioning again at last.
Previously, they weren’t reactive because this place was out of reach for the Heavens in Jiu Zhou. The Peerless Continent didn’t belong to Jiu Zhou. Instead, it was a world independent from Jiu Zhou, so the Battlefield Imprints couldn’t be used.
Since the Battlefield Imprints were reactive now, it showed that the Heavens in Jiu Zhou had established a connection with the Peerless Continent.
This made them realise that Lu Ye’s speculation was right. The four Divine Opportunity Columns were supposed to be installed in the four Hidden Realms. After they fully absorbed the World Spiritual Qi in the ley lines, the Heavens could accurately locate the Peerless Continent and build a connection with it.
That was why the Battlefield Imprints were reactive now, and they would get the dots of light by killing Corpse Race mbers.
“Battle points! These are battle points!” Ying Wuji was ecstatic. That was because he discovered that the dots of light carried not Contribution points but battle points, which were more valuable. In just a short ti, he had acquired several hundred battle points.
Even for people like them, it wasn’t easy to get battle points. After all, the level of Cloud River Realm was too low. Only in so special places could they get battle points. As such, Ying Wuji was overjoyed when he discovered he could acquire battle points by killing Corpse Race mbers.
The next mont, he was upset. That was because before the Battlefield Imprint was reactive, he had killed many Corpse Race mbers, but he had obtained no battle points at all.
