Ye Chen frowned inwardly. These two beams of green light gave him an evil feeling, full of evil and cruelty. Plus, they also carried a numbing power that made his hands and feet feel weak. But, he was a martial artist who had learned the sword intent after all, which made him invincible. He snorted and cut off the connection with the green light.
Crack!
The lid of the coffin suddenly flew up, and a human figure stood up from inside.
"Cut!"
Ye Chen reacted quickly and threw out a sword attack.
Clang!
Sparks splashed out, but this sharp sword attack failed to cut open the body of the man.
Aooo!
The human figure let out a wolf howl as he bounced on his knees, jumping towards Ye Chen at lightning speed. His two arms pulled back and released, stabbing out like two sharp blades.
The room was very dark, and there was no light source. With his powerful soul power, Ye Chen could still see the face and body shape of the man. He was shocked when he saw the man's face. It was not a man at all, but a black-colored zombie. The zombie's shriveled body was scrunched up, shining with a metallic luster. Its green eyes had lost all human emotions, only cruelty, strangeness, bloodthirstiness, cruelty, and all the evil things in the world could be seen in those eyes.
The zombie's movement was a bit stiff, but its explosive speed was quite fast. Ye Chen leaned to the side and moved ten meters away.
In the next moment, the hard wall was punctured and torn apart. The zombie tilted its head and locked its evil green eyes on Ye Chen.
Of course, Ye Chen did not show any mercy. He waved the Hidden Cloud Sword, and two sharp sword Qi shot out, one from the left and one from the right, aiming at the zombie's eyes. Since he had comprehended the sword intent, his attacking speed and power had been greatly improved, and he was no weaker than an Early Clasping Yuan Realm warrior.
It was able to react in an extremely short period of time. Its shriveled head tilted back slightly, dodging the sword qi on the left. As for the other sword qi, it missed its eyes due to the target's movement and struck its cheek instead.
A few sparks flew out, and the zombie's cheek was cut open.
"What kind of zombie is this? Even the sword Qi couldn't hurt it." Ye Chen clearly saw that when the sword Qi cut the zombie's cheek, there was a green light, which blocked most of the attack power.
Roar!
The zombie felt dizzy after being hit by the sword Qi. Without thinking, it opened its horrifying, stinky mouth and spat out a ball of green light towards Ye Chen.
The wall was instantly corroded, and the smell of the green gas was nauseating.
Ye Chen was forced out of the room and returned to the luxurious hall. He turned his head sideways and found that both Lin Yue and Yin Wuqing were there, and their opponents were zombies as well.
"What bad luck, to actually encounter a martial zombie here." Lin Yue's sleeves were torn, and his clothes were a bit messy. Just now, when he walked into the coffin, he didn't find anything, so he directly opened the coffin lid. Unexpectedly, a zombie suddenly jumped out from the coffin, and its two arms nearly pierced through his chest. If he hadn't activated a defensive skill before, he would have been dead by now.
"Martial zombies?" Ye Chen was a bit confused.
Yin Wuqing explained, "Under special circumstances, a martial artist's Zhen Qi won't dissipate after he or she dies. Instead, it will mix with the corpse Qi, and after a long time, the corpses of these martial artists will become immortal. However, if a living human comes to this place at this time, the rich Zhen Qi contained in these corpses will cause the corpses of these martial artists to change into martial zombies, and they will become bloodthirsty martial zombies. Martial zombies are extremely strong, and are almost invulnerable. In terms of physical strength, martial zombies are even more powerful than demonic beasts at the same level. If I'm not wrong, these three martial zombies used to be early Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists, and after they become martial zombies, they will become fifth-grade martial zombies. However, they haven't been able to control the corpse Qi contained in their bodies yet."
Lin Yue nodded and said, "It's said that the Ghost Artist, one of the one hundred and eight ghost warriors of the Nine Evil Cult, was a martial zombie. However, he was different from ordinary martial zombies, because of some special reasons, he regained his intelligence, and became even more cunning and insidious than human beings. What's more, as a martial zombie, he was able to turn living martial artists into martial zombies. According to him, those martial zombies were called 'Elite Corpses'. From high to low, they were called 'Iron Plate Corpses', 'Bronze Plate Corpses', 'Silver Plate Corpses', 'Gold Plate Corpses', and so on."
"The Ghost Artist was a martial zombie?" This was the first time for Ye Chen to hear about such a thing, but he had heard about 'Bronze Plate Corpses'. When he was helping the Ling Family to complete a mission in the Red Blood Forest, he and his family ran into some ghost guards under the Ghost Artist's command. One of the ghost guards had even threatened to turn Ye Chen into a 'Bronze Plate Corpse'.
"Martial zombies are coming out, be careful, don't let them hurt you, or you'll be infected by the corpse poison."
While speaking, Lin Yue's clothes fluttered in the air even though there was no wind. He abruptly launched a punch, and the fierce fist power transformed into a huge cauldron, pressing towards the martial zombie in the middle.
Clang!
The room-sized Zhen Qi cauldron weighed over a thousand kilograms, directly pressing the martial zombie into the ground. The martial zombie couldn't even crawl out for a short while, and could only let out shrill screams.
"Earth Devil's Body Shattering Cut!"
Yin Wuqing restrained his Zhen Qi, formed a sawtooth-shaped, dark-purple light ring on the edge of his palm. He moved as fast as a bolt of lightning, and fiercely hacked on the neck of the other martial zombie.
This palm strike was way too sharp and powerful, it sent the martial zombie flying away, bumping against the wall. A wound was left on the neck, but no blood was spilled out.
Aooo!
The last martial zombie bent its knees and sprung up, darting straight towards Ye Chen, who was holding the Hidden Cloud Sword and standing motionlessly.
"I've been waiting for you, Startling Cloud."
Ye Chen raised the Hidden Cloud Sword high with his right hand and injected waves of Zhen Qi into the sword. The strong sword aura released from the sword made the surrounding airflow spin at a high speed.
"Cut!"
Ye Chen swung the sword out. An incomparably thick stream of sword Qi, which looked like a gigantic pair of scissors, sliced the air open and accurately hit the martial zombie from its chest to its neck.
Puff!
Iron-like minced meat flew in the air, and a bone-deep slash appeared on the martial zombie's chest. Its solid body was instantly lifted up from the ground and heavily smashed against a stone pillar.
The stone pillar collapsed, and the martial zombie's body was pressed under a huge rock.
The Zhen Qi cauldron shook violently, Lin Yue gave a bitter smile and said, "I can't! Although these few martial zombies can't control their corpse Qi at will, their defensive power and strength are all at the same level as fifth rank martial zombies. It's impossible to kill them within a short period of time, I can only barely push them back. "
Yin Wuqing said coldly, "Martial zombies are incredibly powerful. A seventh rank martial zombie raised by our Barbarian Devil Martial School once killed an early Astral Reaching Realm martial artist."
Everyone knew that the Barbarian Devil Martial School had been raising martial zombies, and Yin Wuqing wasn't afraid of the consequences. Not to mention that the comprehensive power of the Barbarian Devil Martial School was even greater than that of the Evil Blood Martial School. As one of the top rank 7 martial institutions, ordinary rank 7 martial institutions couldn't be compared with them.
Looking at the martial zombie that crawled out from the pile of rocks, Ye Chen felt helpless for the first time. He hesitated whether he should use the [Heart Refining] or not, but after thinking for a while, he decided not to. This was not a life-or-death moment, there was no need for him to expose his most powerful martial skill. Not to mention that he was sure that Lin Yue and Yin Wuqing also had their most powerful martial skills that they hadn't used yet.
Besides, even if he used the [Heart Refining], he might not be able to kill the martial zombie, it would at most injure it severely. If he used the [Heart Refining] for a few more times, it would consume too much of his spiritual power, which was not wise.
"Explode!"
On the other side, Lin Yue couldn't suppress the martial zombie any longer, he made a prompt decision and cast a secret magic to explode his Zhen Qi cauldron.
The fierce airwaves generated by the explosion shook the entire hall, fist-sized rocks fell down from the ceiling, and quite a few crystal lamps were extinguished.
The martial zombie that had just crawled up from the ground couldn't help but be thrown into the air, landing beside the dead body of the martial artist.
Crack! Crack!
What happened next was shocking. The martial zombie tore off the arm of the dead martial artist, threw it into its mouth and started chewing. Blood splashed everywhere, and sharp teeth grinding noises resounded through the entire hall.
The other two martial zombies were also attracted by this, they grabbed a dead martial artist and started gnawing on it.
Yin Wuqing's facial expression changed. "Don't let them eat enough blood and meat, once they have enough power, they will become real fifth-grade martial zombies, and they will be able to release their corpse Qi to attack their enemies, just like normal martial artists."
"Kill!"
While speaking, Yin Wuqing had already rushed over. Bean-sized, faintly discernible black scales emerged on his white skin, which looked even more terrifying than martial zombies. He looked just like a human-shaped killing machine.
Bang!
The martial zombie that was closest to Yin Wuqing was sent flying away once it touched Yin Wuqing's body. It was punched and kicked four times in the air, making it howl in pain.
"[Dual Cauldron Competition]!"
Lin Yue understood the severity of the situation. A cyan-yellow stream of Zhen Qi burst out from his body and rose into the air. He then clenched his fists and quickly closed them.
Boom!
The two room-sized cauldrons encircled the martial zombie, which had been happily eating, and fiercely clashed against each other. Waves of shockwaves spread out in all directions, tearing all surrounding corpses into pieces.
Perhaps it had eaten quite a lot of corpses, a green stream of Zhen Qi burst out from this martial zombie's body, shielding it in the middle. Nevertheless, the two cauldrons clashed against each other, adding up and shaking each other, crazily damaging the martial zombie's body.
"In this case, I have no choice but to slowly wear down the martial zombie's defense."
Although he couldn't use the [Heart Refining], Ye Chen still had another sword move. This sword move might not be as powerful as the Shocking Cloud Sword Art, but after a long period of research, he had found a new use for it. Therefore, he might as well try it on the martial zombie first.
Thinking of this, the sharp aura released from Ye Chen's body grew stronger and stronger, along with a faint sense of mountain power.
Taking a step forward, Ye Chen launched a seemingly slow but actually fast sword move.
"Mountain Condensed Sword Qi!"
Boom!
Not only did the Sword Qi that was as thick as a mountain send the martial zombie flying, it even pinned it against the wall, unable to move. What was even more frightening was that the Sword Qi did not dissipate. Instead, it continued to grind against the martial zombie's chest, again and again, endlessly.
"What kind of sword move is this?"
Seeing the sword Qi continuously wearing down the martial zombie's defense, Lin Yue couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Yin Wuqing also glanced at Ye Chen in surprise. Before, he had only acknowledged Ye Chen's power and didn't want to become enemies with him, but now, he truly didn't want to be enemies with Ye Chen anymore. He thought that Ye Chen had already exhausted all of his abilities, but unexpectedly, Ye Chen also had more powerful skills than them, and who knew whether he had more powerful skills or not?
'This man can't be underestimated!'
That was Yin Wuqing's thought.
The martial zombie struggled intensely, however, the mountain-heavy sword Qi had disabled it from moving, and it could only let itself be slaughtered by Ye Chen.
