It turned out that this person had been distracted. The human Superior Grade Martial Sage, who had been delayed by the three Underworld Fire Demonic Corpses, finally managed to extricate himself. The sword descended from the sky, carrying surging Law Energy as it chopped down at the old man's head.
The skinny old man was startled and quickly retreated. When the sword light landed on the water, it kicked up huge waves. Some of the Demonic Corpses that were struck by the shock waves immediately shattered.
After the sword light landed, the skinny old man looked at the situation of the battlefield. With the sudden addition of that group of juniors, the situation had reversed. The Corpse Race was now at a disadvantage.
"Retreat!"
The skinny old man did not care. He chuckled and waved his hand to recall the remaining Corpse Race cultivators. The Demonic Corpses scattered like the receding tide. Soon, the group of Corpse Race cultivators could no longer be seen.
The human Superior Grade Martial Sage stopped the people who wanted to give chase. Then, he walked over to the weakened Jin Lin and the other two and smiled. "You must be the reinforcements of the Supreme Sky Sect. You are really bold. That skinny old man from earlier. That skinny old man from earlier was a famous expert of the Corpse Race, the Black Stone Old Revenant. Even us old fellows did not dare to fight him alone. "
Jin Lin's group of three felt somewhat ashamed. They suppressed their injuries and performed cupped-fist salutes. "Many thanks, Senior, for saving our lives."
The sword-wielding old man was rather forthright. He smiled and said, "There is no such thing as saving lives on the battlefield. If not for you, I would not have been able to escape the encirclement of the three Underworld Fire Demonic Corpses so quickly. That's right, why do I not see your leader?"
The three were stunned and looked around. They could not help but find it strange. "He was following us earlier. How come we can't see him now?"
The old man could not help but frown slightly. He turned around and looked in the direction that the Black Stone Old Revenant's group had taken.
The Black Stone Old Revenant's group retreated. When he saw the new skull on the military merit medallion at his waist, his skinny old face filled with a smile. In this sneak attack, the Black Stone Old Revenant had killed more than a hundred human cultivators. All of them were half-Sages and above.
Among them, there were even five Inferior Grade Martial Sages with outstanding military merits. The only unfortunate thing was that the three juniors had managed to escape.
The morale of the other Corpse Race cultivators was high as well. Most of the Corpse Race cultivators who died were Demonic Corpses. Not many of their own died. It could be said to be a great success.
"Hehe! It is really easy to obtain military merits. It is good to follow the descendants of Wei Hua and Long Fei, two Sovereign Martial Emperors."
"It won't be long before this Dragon Wood Star will belong to our Corpse Race. At that time, there will be a lot of benefits."
The group of people was in high spirits. None of them cared about the reinforcements that had just arrived. They chatted idly about what would happen after they conquered Dragon Wood Star.
Suddenly, the Black Stone Old Revenant stopped. A white figure stood calmly in the sunlight, his hands clasped behind his back. It was unknown how long he had been waiting.
The Black Stone Old Revenant said coldly, "Who is it? Are you tired of living? You even dare to block our path?"
"The people who will kill you."
The white silhouette flashed, and the sound of a peerless saber being unsheathed rang out on the surface of the sea. Columns of water shot up into the sky, and waves blossomed beautifully.
"Kill him!"
Despite being an Inferior Grade Martial Sage, his tone was frighteningly arrogant. The Black Stone Old Revenant waved his hand. The three Inferior Grade Martial Sages of the Corpse Race leaped out. With a casual wave, a few Astral Beast Demonic Corpses leaped out of the water and launched themselves at Xiao Chen.
The fish-shaped Astral Beast had been a Rank 1 Astral Beast when it was alive. After the Corpse Race transformed it, it was as strong as an ordinary Inferior Grade Martial Sage. The most important thing was that there were many of them. Furthermore, they did not feel pain. Regular cultivators would have trouble encountering them.
The three Inferior Grade Martial Sages of the Corpse Race also smiled sinisterly. Normally, they relied on this Astral Beast Demonic Corpse. Normally, they relied on these Astral Beast Demonic Corpses. On this Dragon Wood Star, Martial Sages of the same cultivation would not be a match for them. The image of Xiao Chen being delayed by these Astral Beast Demonic Corpses already appeared in their minds.
Then, they would drag Xiao Chen to death. If he had a good physique and was refined into a Demonic Corpse, his strength would improve further.
"Ka ca!"
Before the Black Stone Old Revenant could feel shocked, they saw Xiao Chen flying over. He was like a saber wind. The normally invincible Astral Beast Demonic Corpses did not even last a moment before the saber wind tore them into pieces, completely crippled.
Shock appeared in the Black Stone Old Revenant's eyes. He got up and rushed forward. At the same time, he shouted, "Retreat! Quickly scatter!"
However, there was no chance to leave now. Xiao Chen's figure flickered, and he kicked. A resplendent saber light lit up, and the Inferior Grade Martial Sage on the right was instantly decapitated, dying without a complete corpse.
The remaining two were given a fright and quickly retreated. However, they saw a white figure pass between the two of them.
The saber wind behind Xiao Chen split into two. With a 'pu ci' sound, purple electricity flickered. The saber wind split the two Corpse Race cultivators in half, and blood spurted everywhere.
When Xiao Chen looked up, he happened to see the Black Stone Old Revenant rushing over to help. When he saw the shocked expression on the Old Revenant's face, Xiao Chen smiled faintly. He clenched his right fist and punched.
"Blue Dragon Goes to Sea!"
An overwhelming pillar of water soared into the sky. Boundless saber Qi flew everywhere as Xiao Chen leaped out of the water. In the eyes of the Black Stone Old Revenant, Xiao Chen was sometimes a dragon, sometimes a saber, and sometimes a delicate white-robed cultivator.
Xiao Chen's sharpness changed hundreds of times, unfathomable. However, it remained the same, sharp, unblockable, pressing forward with an indomitable will.
Death Qi accumulated in the Black Stone Old Revenant's body. He moved his ten fingers and threw two palms at Xiao Chen's somewhat strange fist light.
"Ancient Underworld River Wave Palm!"
In that instant, the winds and clouds changed. A huge spinning black ball appeared and turned into a flowing underworld river. Waves surged, forming thousands of layers as they surged towards Xiao Chen.
The Ghost Race and Corpse Race both cultivated the Death Dao. Many of their Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques were comprehended by their seniors while they observed the underworld river.
Clearly, this Ancient Underworld River Wave Palm was a superior Palm Technique. When Xiao Chen sent out two palms, the underworld river surging towards Xiao Chen carried surging Death Qi.
Illusions that could not be dispelled surrounded Xiao Chen in all directions. Vengeful spirits, white bones, graves, and malicious spirits formed a scene of purgatory, disrupting one's mind.
Xiao Chen's heart was like a boulder. The various illusions did not shake his mental state at all. His fist light was unparalleled. Flickering electricity, an indistinct Blue Dragon, the forty-percent-comprehended will of thunder, and the vague form of his saber soul quickly changed.
I walk an unconventional path, blazing a new path of my own, unprecedented in the past and unmatched in the future. I merge the strengths of many schools of thought and create my own saber Dao. Even if the true underworld river descends, it will pierce through you, not allowing any water to enter.
Furthermore, you are just a materialized underworld river. Its sharpness is ever-changing; no one can block it. Break for me!
"Boom!" The surrounding illusions suddenly vanished. This punch knocked the surging underworld river into the air and into the clouds.
The Black Stone Old Revenant was greatly startled. He formed hand seals and tossed out three Underworld Fire Demonic Corpses. Then, he retreated quickly. As he did so, he shouted, "Attack together! Use Demonic Corpses to surround him. I want to refine him into a Demonic Corpse. Then, he will be as strong as a grandmaster-level Martial Sage."
The close to a hundred Corpse Race cultivators behind quickly formed hand seals. Light flickered on the surface of the sea, and various Demonic Corpses leaped out. Their auras were horrifying as they launched themselves at Xiao Chen.
The Death Qi on Xiao Chen's body merged into one. The seawater under his feet turned pitch-black like ink. The white clouds in the sky slowly faded away, encased by black clouds. This showed how horrifying this aura was.
"Good timing!"
Xiao Chen smiled gently and tapped his forehead with two fingers. Immediately, four spots of golden light surged out. The forty-percent-comprehended will of thunder turned into four small golden sabers. The vague form of his saber soul contained a boundless and unparalleled saber intent.
Whistling sounds rang out, and the four small golden sabers danced around Xiao Chen, forming a screen of lightning made of countless saber Qi.
Carrying this screen of lightning, Xiao Chen charged over. The Demonic Corpses in front of him gently touched them and tore them into pieces. Then, the electric light exploded and turned them into powder.
The higher-ranked Demonic Corpses only lasted one more second. The screen of lightning immediately knocked back the three Underworld Fire Demonic Corpses, preventing them from interfering with Xiao Chen.
Like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, the group of Demonic Corpses on the surface of the sea was completely torn to shreds.
The sky turned blue, and the seawater turned clear. The hundred Corpse Race cultivators had stunned expressions. They had never seen anyone sweep away their Demonic Corpses like they were trash before.
The Black Stone Old Revenant rolled his eyes and shouted, "What are you staring blankly for? Just refine more Demonic Corpses after you run out. If we refine this brat, he will be equal to a thousand Monarch Grade Demonic Corpses."
The group of Corpse Race cultivators hesitated. However, due to the Black Stone Old Revenant's orders and the fact that Xiao Chen was alone, they steeled themselves and charged over.
Seeing this scene, the Black Stone Old Revenant quietly put away the three severely injured Underworld Fire Demonic Corpses. Then, he turned around and fled.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly to himself. How could he allow the Black Stone Old Revenant to flee? How could he care about these hundred Corpse Race cultivators, whose strongest cultivation was only Inferior Grade Martial Sage? Military merits came from killing major characters. No matter how many the small shrimp Yu killed, it would be pointless.
"Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations! Change!
Change! "Xiao Chen's figure split into nine. He turned into nine strands of saber wind, disappearing in a flash. Everywhere he passed, the unlucky Corpse Race cultivators turned into clumps of scarlet light and turned into skulls that appeared on his military merit medallion.
The nine figures merged back together, and they pushed off the air. Electric light burst out as they caught up to the fleeing Black Stone Old Revenant.
"Stay here!"
Xiao Chen spread his fingers and grabbed at the Black Stone Old Revenant's head. Countless flickering electricity gathered in his palm. Every finger was as hard as a saber, flickering with a sharp edge.
Like a meteor chasing the moon, Xiao Chen used his strong physical body's strength to tear off one of the Black Stone Old Revenant's arms. The electric light surging in his palm blasted the Black Stone Old Revenant's arm into the air.
Xiao Chen turned around slightly, using his body as a saber and his shoulder as the tip. Then, he crashed into the Black Stone Old Revenant. The barrier that the Black Stone Old Revenant formed with Death Qi in a fluster shattered with a 'ka ca' sound.
This move was extremely tyrannical. It contained one thousand five hundred tons of force, ninety-percent-comprehended saber intent, and the immortal will of thunder. It was a treasure saber forged with one's body as the blade. A cold light flashed, and its might was unparalleled.
The Black Stone Old Revenant crashed into the military merit medallion. Secret Treasures, Cultivation Techniques, and defensive Martial Techniques were all useless. The Black Stone Old Revenant was badly mangled, no longer recognizable. In that instant, his aura vanished, and he died.
A bright purple skull immediately appeared on Xiao Chen's military merit medallion, and he easily collected the ten thousand military merits.
Xiao Chen glanced at the Black Stone Old Revenant's military merit medallion and saw rows and rows of skulls. He wondered how many human cultivators had died at the hands of this crafty old revenant.
