The nine of them were all at the Astral Reaching Realm, or at least as powerful as the Astral Reaching Realm. Even if the Fire Man, the Mountain Man and the Lake Man did not do much, they were still able to clear out the Silver Shell Corpses at a very fast speed. Soon, a huge part of the thousand Silver Shell Corpses had been killed, leaving only hundreds of relatively powerful ones. However, although they were powerful, the power gap between them and the others was too huge. It would only take them a couple of breaths time to kill them, which would not be a problem for them at all.
Ao ao ao ao ao ao …
Right at this moment, the roars of the Martial Zombies came from all directions. The roars were endless, like the roars of mountains and seas, causing the underground world to shake.
"Not good, this number has already exceeded 10,000." Long Yue's expression changed drastically. They could kill a thousand Silver Shell Corpses with their power, but ten thousand Silver Shell Corpses would take a long time to kill. Not to mention that the Silver Shell Corpses had a very powerful defense, which was much harder than killing Clasping Yuan Realm warriors, and would consume a lot more Zhen yuan.
Ye Chen shook his head, "Its aura is a bit weaker than a Silver Armored Corpse. It should be a Bronze Armored Corpse!"
The Bronze Shell Corpses were rank 5 zombies, they were also made by Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. The difference was that most of the rank 5 zombies were made by Early or Mid Clasping Yuan Realm warriors, while the Silver Shell Corpses were made by Mid or Late Clasping Yuan Realm warriors.
Of course, although the Bronze Shell Corpses were not as powerful as the Silver Shell Corpses, the number of corpses was still overwhelming. If they wanted to kill all of them, it would take a lot more time and zhen yuan. Plus, the Corpse Man had not shown up yet, which made the group feel a bit of pressure.
"Hehe, there are quite a lot of Astral Reaching experts. They'll make up for my Metal Shell Corpse." After the Bronze-armored Corpse's roar was followed by a cold and cunning voice. The voice was hoarse and terrifying, like two pieces of steel rubbing against each other, making people feel like vomiting.
"The Corpse Man!"
Needless to guess, the owner of the voice must be one of the one hundred and eight ghost warriors of the Nine Ghost Cult, the extremely cruel Corpse Man, who had killed countless people.
Rumble!
A wall collapsed, and a black-robed man wearing a ghost mask appeared in front of everyone. His body was as thin as firewood, and his fingernails were black and shiny. His withered skin wrinkled together, forming a greyish black cuticle, like the claws of an eagle.
Zeng!
Burning sparks flew everywhere. It turned out that the Corpse Man had clashed with Xiao Heng and his wife. His dry and sharp claws had clashed with the mid-rank great weapon, creating sparks.
Xiao Heng and his wife were only Mid Astral Reaching Realm warriors after all. There was still a huge gap between them and the infamous Corpse Man. They only felt their arms go numb before they were blown away.
"Old ghost, go to hell!"
Unexpectedly, the Lake Man rushed towards the Ghost Man without caring about his own safety. He threw out a palm attack, bringing up a huge wave of power.
The Corpse Man sneered. His pair of claws broke through his opponent's palm attack and fiercely dashed out.
Bang!
The Lake Man's protective Zhen yuan was shattered. Blood spilled out from the corner of his mouth as he was blown backward. His route was the same as Xiao Heng and his wife's.
"Where are you going?!"
The Corpse Man followed closely behind.
After exchanging a few blows, the four of them gradually left the line of sight of Ye Chen and the others and arrived in another environment.
"I see! The two Great Masters of the South Rudra Martial School are not their target. Their target is us." Ye Chen thought for a while and understood a lot. 'The Corpse Man targeting Xiao Heng and his wife was not reasonable. He probably wanted them to separate from us, to stall them and not kill them. In this way, no one from the South Rudra Martial School would die, and it would not piss off the leader of the South Rudra Martial School, Long Biyi. Plus, the Fire Man and the other two probably had something to do with the Corpse Man. Everyone had died except for them, which meant that they were obviously working with the Corpse Man.
Boom!
Amidst the tide of bronze-armored corpses, two metal-armored corpses with pitch-black skin and a faint golden glow suddenly emerged. These two metal-armored corpses were nimble. As they leaped, they were like tiny bolts of lightning, rapidly appearing in front of Pang Nie and Zhuang Qinghe. At the same time, a white figure shuttled through the group of bronze-armored corpses, aiming for the slightly weaker Zhuang Qinghe, intending to kill him with a single blow.
Pang Nie and Zhuang Qinghe did not dare to underestimate the Gold Shell Corpses and the white shadow, so they attacked with all of their power.
Lin Shuihan, the Great Elder of the North Snow Martial Academy, was not idle either. His opponents were three white-clothed, long-robed men. These three long-robed men seemed to have no physical form, they were floating in the air, and with a flash, they would appear in front of Lin Shuihan, it was impossible to defend against them.
Soon, everyone had been separated. Xiao Heng and his wife were fighting with the Corpse Man, who was far away from them. Pang Nie and Zhuang Qinghe were fighting with two Gold Shell Corpses and one man in long robes, while Lin Shuihan was fighting with the three men in long robes. All the space outside of the fighting area had been filled up by the Bronze Shell Corpses, making it hard for anyone to move.
Among everyone, only Ye Chen, the Fire Man and the Mountain Man did not have any opponents.
The Fire Man and the Mountain Man were obviously on the same side as the Corpse Man, and so was that Lake Man who had pretended to help Xiao Heng and his wife. Therefore, only Ye Chen was standing alone in the crowd of Bronze Shell Corpses, looking at them coldly without changing his expression.
Judging from the situation, the Astral Reaching Realm warriors from the Windy Nation were not in a good situation. No, it was not in a good situation. It was a sure kill situation. Although the original plan was good, who knew that the Fire Man and the other two would be working with the Corpse Man in public, trying to kill everyone except the South Rudra Martial School. Even Ye Chen did not think about this beforehand. He only thought that the Corpse Man would kill him or the others secretly, and would not do it so openly. Right now, these two were not moving at all, and did not seem to want to help the others.
Pang Nie yelled angrily, "Fire Man, why are you not doing anything yet?" He had more or less guessed what the Fire Man was thinking, and sounded very angry.
The Fire Man sneered, "Don't worry, I will do it."
The plan was going perfectly. Xiao Heng and his wife had been lured away, so they would not be able to hear what was happening here. Then, he would kill the four of them, including Ye Chen, and then the Mountain Man would disappear while he himself was injured. Then, when he returned to the Purple Sun Martial School, no one would suspect him. They would only think that the Corpse Man was too powerful, and only he, Xiao Heng and his wife had made it back, and they were all injured. Of course, it would be impossible for everyone to not suspect him. But without any evidence, the Fire Man did not think that there would be any accidents. Even the Cloud Dreamer and the Thunder Freer from the Sky Cloud Martial School would not be able to do anything to him. As for the South Rudra Martial School, it was indeed a huge obstacle. He would have to be more careful in the future, in case he got caught.
Seeing the Fire Man and the Mountain Man coming over, Ye Chen said lightly, "Just you two? I don't think it is enough."
"Oh yeah? What about us? " From a dark corner, two human shadows flew over. Judging from their qi, they were definitely peak-level Mid Astral Reaching Realm warriors. With the combination of four Mid Astral Reaching Realm warriors, with Ye Chen's current power, he would indeed be killed, unless his fake zhen yuan layer was able to handle the attacks from the four of them. But that would not be possible, since the gap between their realms was too huge.
These two were also the remnants of the Nine Evil Cult. Their status was not as high as the Corpse Man's, but they were battle attendants.
The Fire Man laughed, "Ye Chen, you did not expect this day, did you? Originally, the ones who would die would be the Cloud Dreamer and the Thunder Freer. Who asked you to be so arrogant and join this mission? This time, you will die for sure. I will ask the Dead Wood Brother to turn you into a Silver Shell Corpse, and let you suffer a pain worse than death. "
Ye Chen shook his head. The fake zhen yuan inside his body started to vibrate for the last time as he said lightly, "Don't joke around. I happen to have no reason to kill you. Let's do it right here and now."
