There were only two hundred Martial Saints in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. This was far less than the number of corpses. They were in a very passive position; they were having a hard time defending.
However, the main forces of both sides had not made a move yet. The Divine Saber Camp's bladesmen stood in front of the Fiend Sealing Stone. They withdrew their killing Qi and held their sabers tightly; they had no intention of making a move.
Xiao Chen looked for a long time, but he did not discover any Martial Monarch experts in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. There were only ten Martial King elders standing in the distance, expressionlessly observing the situation on the battlefield.
Among this group of Martial Kings, Xiao Chen found Ye Wen. Ye Wen was the same as before; his expression did not reveal what he was thinking. He was very calm, as though everything was under his control.
On the side of the Running Corpse Sect, there were no strong corpses. There were only three huge corpses standing in the middle of the battlefield. These three corpses were five meters tall. They had dark skin and a thick black Qi flowed out of their bodies.
The corpses roared continuously. Xiao Chen only took a glance from afar and felt a huge pressure; it made him feel fear.
Are these three Corpse Kings? Xiao Chen thought in horror. For a corpse to become a Corpse King, it had to be at least a Martial Monarch when it was alive. After it died and was refined into a corpse, it had to retain the Martial Techniques and combat experience it had when it was alive.
Under the special control of the Running Corpse Sect, it was much stronger than a regular Martial Monarch. This was because they had an undying body; they did not fear pain. They had muscles of copper and bones of steel, impenetrable by weapons, impervious to fire and water.
Beside the three Corpse Kings, there were hundreds of two-meter-tall corpses. They were covered in black Qi and were tall and sturdy. Their aura was different from the other corpses.
These should be the mutated corpses that were second only to the Corpse Kings. In terms of strength, they would be able to hold their own against a Martial King.
Behind the Corpse Kings, there were ten people dressed in black. They stood quietly in the shadows of the Corpse Kings. Xiao Chen discovered Supervisor Li among them.
Further back, Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense discovered more than ten Corpse Monarchs standing there, not making a move. These were the successors of the Running Corpse Sect, who cultivated the Dao of corpses.
They had turned themselves into something that was neither human nor ghost. Compared to regular corpses, they had the thoughts of a normal person. They were extremely difficult to deal with. Regular Martial Kings would not be a match for them.
Xiao Chen was suspicious. With such a strong lineup of the Running Corpse Sect, why are the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's people so calm? There are only ten Martial Kings.
Although the Divine Saber Camp's bladesmen had a horrifying baleful aura, they were only peak Martial Saints and Medial Grade Martial Saints. No matter how experienced they were, they would not be a match for the corpse king.
The battle in the river was leaning more and more towards the Running Corpse Sect's side. The Heavenly Saber Pavilion's Martial Saints' formation slowly crumbled. Many of the corpses rushed to the other side.
However, before these corpses could get far, a few powerful forces flew over and smashed them into pieces. Their skin, which was harder than metal, was as soft as tofu in front of this force.
Xiao Chen took a closer look and discovered that the energy came from the Martial Kings. The strength of a Martial King was indeed different from that of a Martial Saint. With just one strike, Xiao Chen could easily shatter these mysteriously refined corpses.
After King Wu made his move, the situation that was already leaning towards the Running Corpse Sect slowly became balanced again.
Hu!
Suddenly, a silver figure flew over from the sky. That person's silver hair was extremely dazzling. His agile body landed firmly beside the three corpse kings.
Supervisor Li frowned and walked forward. "Princess Mu, why are you only here now?"
Mu Xinya looked at the situation and said indifferently, "I am dealing with some private matters. There is no need to worry about it. What is the situation now?"
Supervisor Li said, "For some reason, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's Supreme Elder has not come out yet. I am unable to grasp the situation, so I did not attack."
Mu Xinya thought for a while before saying, "There is no need to worry about it. Let's just attack. Once the Demonic Ancestor comes out, no matter how many Supreme Elders the Heavenly Saber Pavilion sends, it will be pointless."
Supervisor Li asked, "Are you confident? If you fail, then the hundred years of hard work of the Running Corpse Sect will all be for naught. "
Mu Xinya took out a black arrow flickering with light. She said, "This is my race's ancient forbidden weapon. It has been passed down since the Ancient Era. Furthermore, it has been refined by our descendants for thousands of years.
"As long as I can enter the Nine Subduing Saber Demon Formation, I am confident of shattering the Fiend Sealing Stone. At that time, all the realms in the Spirit Mine will be destroyed. The Spirit Stones inside will be ownerless.
"There is a large number of Spirit Stones in the entire Heavenly Saber Pavilion. It will be sufficient for you to revive the Running Corpse Sect."
After Supervisor Li heard this, he thought for a while and discussed with the people behind him. Finally, he made up his mind and said, "Attack!"
The ten black-clothed men controlling the corpses kept changing their hand gestures. The corpses on the ground all flew up with a 'bang' and flew over.
Within the cave, there was a 'ka ka ka' sound coming from the walls in all directions. It was like a flower was blooming. Corpses jumped out one by one.
These corpses seemed to have gone berserk. Their strength increased significantly in an instant. The situation tilted in the Running Corpse Sect's favor.
Before the remaining hundred Martial Saints in the river could retreat, they were torn to shreds by these corpses.
The ten Martial Kings of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion exchanged glances. They executed their Movement Techniques and quickly rushed to the back of the cave, allowing the berserk corpses to charge at them.
"Kill!"
Just at this moment, the hundred bladesmen of the Divine Saber Camp finally made their move. They shouted at the same time, their voices shaking the ground. The entire cave trembled slightly.
A surging killing Qi was released without holding anything back. It linked together and formed a vast sea. A formless baleful aura enveloped the entire cave.
The baleful aura penetrated into the bones. Even though these were corpses that had died long ago, the instinct that came from their flesh and blood caused them to tremble continuously.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "
The sabers were drawn. The sound of hundreds of sabers being drawn resounded throughout the cave. The sabers were one meter long and two centimeters wide. There was a scarlet glow on the body of the saber. With one look, one could tell that this was not an ordinary saber.
This saber was called the Bloodsucker Saber. When the saber was inserted into a living person's body, with a special Cultivation Technique, it could instantly suck the blood of a living person dry. There was once a powerhouse of the Divine Saber Camp who sucked his opponent dry with one saber strike.
The forging method of the saber had been lost long ago. There were only a thousand of them left in the Divine Saber Camp. Those who were not disciples of the Divine Saber Camp, even core disciples, could not obtain this saber.
After the hundred bladesmen of the Divine Saber Camp made their move, the situation immediately turned around. Those refined corpses that even Martial Saints found hard to deal with were refined corpses.
In front of the Divine Saber Camp disciples, they only used one saber strike to suck the corpses dry. After the corpses died, they turned into strands of black resentment and flew into the saber.
The more corpses they killed, the more horrifying the resentment absorbed by the Bloodsucker Saber became. These Divine Saber Camp disciples were like demons from hell; their expressions were extremely malevolent.
They looked very ferocious, even more horrifying than the corpses. The more resentment there was, the denser the baleful aura on their bodies. The speed and strength of their sabers increased explosively.
Using killing to prove the Dao, Xiao Chen thought to himself in astonishment. No wonder when he first saw the Divine Saber Camp disciples, he had a horrifying killing intent in his heart.
He did not expect the Heavenly Saber Pavilion to have such an evil Cultivation Technique. Using killing to prove the Dao, using the joy of killing to comprehend one's own Martial Dao. All Martial Techniques had killing as their first goal.
This kind of Cultivation Technique was even more horrifying than using corpses to prove the Dao. Every cultivator who used killing to prove the Dao would have to kill at least a thousand cultivators in their lifetime.
Furthermore, the people they killed could not be of a lower cultivation. Otherwise, it would not be of any help to their cultivation. They could collect the resentment of their enemies after they died and use it to raise their own cultivation; it was very horrifying.
A cultivator who used killing to prove the Dao would be able to hold his own against an opponent one realm higher than him. If the opponent was careless, he could even kill them easily.
The most important thing was that these people were not afraid of death. The closer they were to the edge of life and death, the more excited they would be. Their strength would even increase exponentially.
There were only a hundred Divine Saber Camp bladesmen, but they were able to defend the Nine Subduing Saber Demonic Formation like an iron bucket. It was airtight and watertight. Any corpses that got close were instantly killed.
Under the control of the black-clothed men, the corpses continued to charge forward. In an instant, the sounds of killing shook the sky; they were like thunder. The entire underground cave was like hell on earth; it was a tragic sight; blood flowed like a river.
Not long after, the Divine Saber Camp's bladesmen killed more than a thousand of the most ordinary refined corpses. However, the Divine Saber Camp had zero casualties.
A boundless black resentment lingered on the Bloodsucker Saber. If one looked closely, there were countless aggrieved spirits crying out in pain within the resentment. The Divine Saber Camp's people were not fatigued. Instead, under the stimulation of the resentment, they became even stronger.
Supervisor Li was astonished. Although he knew that the Divine Saber Camp was very strong, he did not expect them to be so horrifying. Killing these refined corpses was as easy as chopping vegetables.
Mu Xinya said indifferently, "Don't be frightened. They are only using a special secret technique to increase their strength. These corpses without any intelligence cannot harm them. Conserve your strength and use the mutated corpses."
Supervisor Li nodded and waved his hand. The hundred or so mutated corpses surrounded by black corpse Qi all jumped over with a 'sou' sound.
The mutated corpses already had a basic level of intelligence. Most of the combat instincts they had when they were alive had been preserved. With just one command, they would automatically attack.
Furthermore, he was very strong. When he was alive, he was at least a Martial King. After he received the order, he moved like an arrow and instantly flew across the hundred meter wide underground river, arriving in front of the Divine Saber Camp's bladesmen.
"Kill!"
The number of mutated corpses was equal to the number of Divine Saber Camp's bladesmen. The moment both sides came into contact, they immediately started fighting. The mutated corpses were much stronger than the corpses refined from the corpses of ordinary miners.
Even the strong Divine Saber Camp's bladesmen could not kill them instantly. The Bloodsucker Saber in their hands chopped at the mutated corpses, giving off a metallic sound.
There were no wounds on the mutated corpses. They gave off a strange laughter and used all sorts of Martial Techniques they knew when they were alive.
