In the past, when Wang Daoyuan was at the Violet Palace Realm, he encountered the Silver-armored Corpse in the Divine Infernal Gold Mine in the Blood Demon City of the Southern Wastelands.
Although the Silver-armored Corpse's body was strong, making it difficult for cultivators of the same level to break through its defenses, it still had a weakness.
The body of the metal-armored Corpse no longer had any weaknesses. Cultivators of the same level could not injure it at all.
Although the Gui Water Divine Lightning of the Zhao family cultivators, Wang Daoyuan's Truefire of Scarlet Yang, and Scarlet Feather's Truefire of Scarlet Feather and Scarlet Feather could wear down the corpse qi and death qi on the refined corpses, the metal-armored Corpse was different from the metal-armored Corpse.
No matter how high the grade of the metal-armored Corpse was, the corpse qi and death qi on the regular Corpse would not be too much.
They could be easily dealt with with using lightning, fire, and other magical attacks.
However, metal-armored Corpses were different. Refining metal-armored Corpses required special corpses.
The spiritual bodies or battle bodies of humans could only be refined by daemonic beasts that had similar constitutions.
These special constitutions could carry more energy, which meant they could store more corpse qi and death qi in their bodies.
Special corpses had to be placed in places with dense yin qi and death qi. Secret techniques would be used to lock the yin qi they absorbed into their bodies.
Some methods of refining corpses even required medicinal baths. Serving a refined corpse was even more tiring than serving a lord.
These refined corpses could become Iron Armored Corpses in a few decades, Silver Armored Corpses in a few centuries, and Metal Armored Corpses in a few millennia.
Of course, the level of the secret technique and the amount of resources would affect the time required to refine a Metal Armored Corpse.
However, it would take at least a thousand years to refine a Metal Armored Corpse.
It could be said that every part of the body of the metal-armored Corpse was filled with a tremendous amount of corpse qi and death qi.
The corpse qi and death qi of the refined corpse that Wang Daoyuan had burned to death was not even as much as a single finger of the metal-armored Corpse.
The toughness of the refined corpse's body was supported by these two factors. Without completely exhausting them, it would be impossible to break through the refined corpse's body.
The metal-armored Corpse was only at the beginning of the high grade of the fourth rank, but Wang Daoyuan could not compare to it in terms of toughness or strength.
Even if Zhao Jingguo used his full strength, he could only injure the metal-armored Corpse. It was very difficult for him to even heavily injure it.
Perhaps only his master, Daoist Thunderflame, would be able to severely injure it with a single strike.
Now, Wang Daoyuan understood why Zhao Lingyan and the two Gold Core cultivators of the Zhao Family would self-destruct their Gold Cores when they attacked the Mystical Underworld Crystal Mine.
In such a narrow environment, human cultivators were unable to display their advantage in speed and magic. They were far from being a match for the refined corpses.
The fact that the two Zhao Family cultivators were able to self-detonate their Gold Cores was already pretty good. Otherwise, their Gold Cores and blood essence would have become nutrients for the metal elite zombie.
The metal elite zombie's speed was relatively fast among refined zombies, especially when it was running on the ground.
However, flying in the sky was not very fast.
The reason why he was able to fly out of the mine so quickly was most likely due to his physical strength.
As it continued to fly in the air, its speed was about the same as a Golden Core cultivator who did not have a high-level escape technique.
On the other hand, Refined Corpse's main means of attack was its physical body. As long as it didn't get close, there was no need to be afraid of it.
Wang Daoyuan's escape technique was not bad, he would not be taken down by a refined corpse.
However, things like the Black Tortoise Purgatory and sword cultivator spells would not be able to injure it.
He could only rely on the scarlet-feathered crow's natal spiritual fire to consume the corpse and death aura on its body.
He drew out flames from the scarlet-feathered crow's body and activated the Vermillion Bird Fan to increase the intensity of the flames, burning the metal elite zombie.
The metal elite zombie dodged a few times, but was still caught by the flames.
After being ignited by the flames, the metal elite zombie's body shone with golden light.
The golden light quickly turned into a black mist and enveloped the flames. The flames were quickly extinguished.
Wang Daoyuan activated the Vermillion Bird Fan with all his strength, but could only barely keep the flames on the refined corpse from extinguishing.
If he wanted to burn the metal elite zombie to death, it would take at least two to three months.
The cowardly Luo Jiuyou also revealed himself and released his yin qi to help the metal elite zombie suppress the flames. The flames on the metal elite zombie's body were getting smaller and smaller.
The scarlet-feathered crow also hurriedly took action. He flapped his wings repeatedly, but the flames on the metal elite zombie's body were still showing signs of weakening.
At this rate, they could only exhaust some of the corpse and death aura. It would be very difficult to injure the metal elite zombie.
And this was because the scarlet-gold flames could restrain the metal elite zombie. Had it been a cultivator without any means to restrain the metal elite zombie, even a Half-Step Yuanying would have to expend a lot of effort to injure the metal elite zombie.
Wang Daoyuan deployed the Black Tortoise Purgatory in an attempt to separate Luo Jiuyou from the metal elite zombie.
Unfortunately, the Black Tortoise Purgatory was just a matter of a punch for the metal elite zombie.
The metal elite zombie resisted the flames and pounced towards Wang Daoyuan.
Wang Daoyuan relied on the Escape of Cloud to avoid being hit by the metal elite zombie. Instead, he could seize the opportunity to deal a few blows to Luo Jiuyou.
However, Luo Jiuyou was too cunning. As soon as he was attacked, he fled towards the metal elite zombie.
The metal elite zombie and Luo Jiuyou did not dare to rashly separate. Otherwise, Wang Daoyuan and the scarlet-feathered crow would be able to injure the metal elite zombie.
The two sides were in a deadlock. Neither side could defeat the other.
Wang Daoyuan was not in a hurry. There was no need for him to expose more of his trump cards.
It was fine as long as he could hold his ground. Victory did not depend entirely on him.
As for his other four companions, Gu Chengfeng was slightly weaker than Sage Yan Yang. The sixth prince and Zhong Zhenyang were basically tied.
Zhao Lingjiang had a slight advantage, but he could not win in a short time.
Zhao Jingguo's side, however, had a great advantage. Qian Yang and Jin Shan were already covered with cuts and bruises.
They could barely hold on and were about to be defeated.
As long as Zhao Jingguo could kill one of the enemy's Golden Core cultivators, they would be able to win quickly.
As for the other three sects, their late Golden Core cultivators were already at the bottom. Currently, only the Myriad Spirit Sect could pull in one more late Golden Core cultivator.
Once the reinforcements were transferred over, they would not have enough manpower to defend Emperor Zhao.
Zhao Jingguo also noticed that Wang Daoyuan's side was having a hard time winning. The longsword in his hand flickered with dazzling aqua blue radiance.
He wanted to kill one of his opponents ruthlessly.
Just at this moment, a plume of black smoke emerged from the mine. It rushed towards Zhao Jingguo at an extremely fast speed.
Zhao Jingguo had no choice but to change the target of his attack and slashed at the black smoke.
The sound of metal clashing was heard, and a black figure flew out from the black smoke.
This person appeared. He was wearing a black robe and his whole body was surrounded by Yin Qi. Corpse Qi and Death Qi were hidden in the Yin Qi.
He was holding a shield in his hand, but there was a deep sword mark on the shield. It was completely destroyed.
The black-robed cultivator said in a hoarse voice, "Zhao Family's inheritance is really powerful. This sword strike can actually destroy a fourth-rank high-grade defensive magic tool."
His face was quite similar to Luo Jiuyou's.
Zhao Jingguo asked, "You're Luo Jiuyu, who has been hiding? You're really powerful. "
The black-robed cultivator said with a smile, "It's my honor to be praised by the number one expert of Zhao State."
He looked behind him at Qian Yang and Jin Shan, who were covered with cuts and bruises, and shouted, "Retreat."
With Zhao Jingguo's strength, it would be a bit difficult for him to fight one against three.
Everyone had consumed a lot of spiritual power. If they continued to fight, they would not have a chance to win, and casualties would be inevitable.
Wang Daoyuan also left with everyone and returned to Mount Gui Yuan.
After returning to Mount Gui Yuan, Wang Daoyuan asked, "Minister Zong, what do you think of Luo Jiuyu's strength?"
Zhao Jingguo thought for a moment and replied, "He should be about the same as Ling Jiang, but his physical strength is extremely strong.
I fought with the Cruel Sun Palace's Jinyang Renegade. When he used his Dharma Idol, his strength was about the same as Luo Jiuyu's.
Previously, when you received my sword strike, you mainly relied on the strength of your physical body.
County King, Daoyou Gu, you two also walked the path of body refinement. Have you seen such a strong physical body? "
Gu Chengfeng shook his head. Wang Daoyuan said, "If it was my master, Lei Yan Zhenren, he might have this strength.
But the Netherworld Sect is not good at body refinement, so it's unlikely for them to cultivate such a person.
Although he deliberately hid it, I still found corpse Qi and Death Qi on his body.
Moreover, these two are extremely pure. They are definitely not from being in contact with corpses for a long time.
In addition, with such a strong physical body, I suspect that he's a half corpse. "
Gu Chengfeng was a bit confused, but the Zhao family's faces changed slightly.
Zhao Lingjiang quickly asked, "County King, are you talking about the secret technique that allows living people to absorb corpse Qi and Death Qi into their bodies and refine them into half human half corpse?"
