When the thirty-three members of the Ninth Unit split up to break out of the encirclement, the densely packed zombie army also split up and attacked in different directions.
Advance!
Chen Zong kept swinging his sword, killing countless zombies by himself with his sword.
With his level-four cultivation base, the power of the Mountain-crushing Sword Energy was incomparably terrifying. With a sword in hand and the Sky Attack Sword Technique, every sword light seemed to shoot down from the sky. None of the zombies could defend themselves against it. Once they were hit, they would die immediately. Moreover, there was no way to avoid it.
It was a pity that he could not devour spirits and vitality. Otherwise, the black mark and the mysterious seed could be further strengthened.
The mysterious seed's vitality was shockingly boundless and could heal his injuries. The black mark could feedback and improve his spirit. In addition, it could also help him resist some invasions of the Divine Will that could not be resisted.
The benefits were obvious.
The benefits of the thirty-three people splitting up were obvious. The zombie army was not really endless. After being split up, everyone's movements were more flexible.
Advance!
Suddenly, a strong rotten stench rushed toward them at an alarming speed like lightning. It was so fast that Chen Zong caught a glimpse of a gray shadow from the corner of his eye. It pounced toward them from the side like a flash of light, immediately bringing about an extremely strong threat.
It was a zombie. No, it could not be considered a zombie. It looked as ferocious as an evil spirit. Its claws were black and sharp. It was extremely terrifying. Chen Zong estimated that with the strength of his body, he would be injured if he was hit by it.
With a shift of his feet and a flash of his body, Chen Zong dodged the attack of the evil ghostlike zombie. The Sky Attack Sword Technique was also activated. He slashed his sword across the sky. The sword light carried with it an astonishing power, slashing at the evil ghostlike body as if it could destroy everything.
At the moment of contact, Chen Zong immediately felt an indescribable toughness through the blade of the sword. It was as if a blunt knife had slashed at an old cowhide, making a muffled sound.
It could not be broken.
However, the power of the sword was not ordinary. It directly sent the evil ghostlike figure flying dozens of meters away, smashing several zombies into pieces.
Chen Zong also saw clearly that it was a grayish-black body. It was a zombie, but it was not completely a zombie. It was as if a zombie had transformed into an evil spirit. It was a Corpse Ghoul, an evil existence that was even more terrifying than a zombie.
The Corpse Ghoul's eyes were dark green. They were extremely deep and turbid. When it turned, there was a kind of stiffness and jerkiness, making people who saw it could not help but feel cold. Its mouth was slightly long and bulging like a wolf's mouth. Turbid saliva constantly dripped between its disorderly teeth.
Its four limbs abruptly stomped on the ground, causing its muscles to instantly swell up as an incomparably powerful force erupted along with it, emitting a wave of shocking momentum. In an instant, the Corpse Ghost transformed into a greyish black bolt of lightning that tore through the sky once more to attack. It was extremely swift, and its sharp claws were jet black and sharp to the extreme. They tore through and shattered everything, and they carried extremely shocking Corpse Poison as they attacked.
It seemed to be faster and more ferocious than before.
Chen Zong's eyes flashed, and he immediately slashed out with his sword.
This sword did not have the slightest bit of aura. It was so understated and casual, as if it existed between nothingness. But the moment it hit the skeleton, it became incomparably real, as if it had descended from nothingness.
Heart Swordsmanship!
The power and mystery of the Heart Swordsmanship were many times more powerful than the Sky Attack Swordsmanship. Under the sword, the Corpse Ghoul's amazing defense was directly torn and penetrated. It instantly pierced through the Corpse Ghoul's glabella with irresistible force. Then, it slashed horizontally and cut off half of its head.
The astonishing sword Qi directly penetrated the Corpse Ghoul's body and wantonly destroyed it. The skeleton's limbs were twisted, and its body trembled violently. It was directly turned into a pile of minced meat and died instantly.
Then, Chen Zong used the Sky Attack Swordsmanship to kill the zombies and hone the Sky Attack Swordsmanship, trying to improve it as much as possible.
In theory, Chen Zong could improve the Sky Attack Swordsmanship to the same level as the Heart Swordsmanship, the World Swordsmanship, and the Rising Dragon Swordsmanship. The only thing he lacked was time and practice.
Killing the zombies was a kind of training. Yes, in Chen Zong's view, this was training.
With the sword in hand, there was no battle that could not be sharpened.
The other team members also performed well. After all, they were the Sky Sword Sergeants. They were all elites and extraordinary. Each of them could fully exert their strength, and their combat power was amazing.
Of course, they were also attacked by the Corpse Ghouls and killed them in return. The only difference was that they were faster.
Not long after, Captain Qiu Ming was the first to arrive at the foot of the mountain. He did not continue to charge forward, but waited. However, the zombies around him continued to attack. Qiu Ming could only fight with his sword and kill continuously.
Then, the second team member arrived and joined forces with Qiu Ming. The third team member also joined forces.
One after another, Chen Zong also arrived and joined forces with the others.
After the continuous killing, the number of zombies in the army had decreased sharply, and the pressure was not as great as before.
Not long after, the thirty-three team members gathered in one piece.
"Kill!" Qiu Ming ordered. Like the vanguard, he took the lead and killed his way up. He was the captain and should be the representative.
Kill!
Each of them held their swords and killed their way up the mountain.
The real goal of this mission was on this mountain.
Along the way, they were also surrounded by zombies. However, compared to when they were at the foot of the mountain, the number of zombies here had decreased by more than ten times. The pressure they brought was also completely incomparable to before.
From the foot of the mountain all the way up, when they were halfway up the mountain, a group of Corpse Ghouls appeared in front of them. There were more than ten of them, and each of the Corpse Ghouls exuded a terrifying aura. In terms of strength, they were not inferior to normal Perfected Realm Four cultivators. They were true powerhouses.
Kill!
Normal Perfected Realm Four cultivators were no match for them.
However, the Corpse Ghouls' skin was extremely tough, and their defense was amazing. If the sword was not sharp enough, it would not be able to cut them open.
Facing the Corpse Ghouls, Chen Zong did not unleash his full strength. He only used the Heart Sword Technique. With the shocking sharpness of the Heart Sword Technique, it was enough to kill the Corpse Ghouls directly.
Very suddenly, a Corpse Ghoul suddenly pounced from behind another Corpse Ghoul and directly grabbed Qiu Ming's neck.
It was too fast and very sudden. It was completely unexpected. Qiu Ming's strength was indeed very strong, but he was caught off guard by the sudden attack of several Corpse Ghouls. It was difficult for him to dodge.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Zong, who was dozens of meters away, noticed this scene. Not only Chen Zong, but a few other team members also noticed this scene.
"Be careful, Captain!" Their expressions changed drastically.
Firstly, they had worked together with Qiu Ming for many years and had already built a very good friendship. They were like brothers who had been through life and death together. Secondly, if Qiu Ming was killed, they would have one less person, and the possibility of completing this mission would be greatly reduced.
Qiu Ming's expression was extremely solemn. In an instant, he was about to use his trump card.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Zong stabbed out with his sword.
Although they were dozens of meters apart, the sword seemed to have traveled through time and space and directly pierced the Corpse Ghoul that was attacking Qiu Ming's neck.
Boundless Sword Art!
This was a superb sword art that involved the Dao of Time. Chen Zong had been cultivating it for a long time. Unfortunately, its power was only at the level of a Middle-grade Star-level Unique Art. It was too difficult to improve it.
Although it could not kill the Corpse Ghoul, it could resist it for a moment, allowing Qiu Ming to seize the opportunity.
Without using his trump card, he slashed out with his sword and directly split the Corpse Ghoul in half. Qiu Ming even looked at Chen Zong with gratitude.
With their cooperation, they finally killed all the Corpse Ghouls and pushed their way to the top of the mountain. Why didn't they use the Sky Attack Sword Array?
Because once the Sky Attack Sword Array was set up, it would be difficult for them to move at high speed.
Finally, the members of the Ninth Unit charged to the top of the Thousand Zhang Mountain. There was no longer a thick corpse aura at the top of the mountain. It was as if it had disappeared without a trace. However, the air was not fresh at all. Instead, it felt thin, as if it had been forcefully sucked dry.
Everyone's expression was solemn and solemn because they all felt a trace of uneasiness. It was as if there was a terrifying danger hidden here, a danger that could kill them.
"The Corpse Demon should be inside." Qiu Ming pointed at the pitch-black and deep cave in front of them. It looked like an abyss of ghosts that could devour everything.
The Corpse Demon was the target of the Ninth Unit. As for the corpse men and Corpse Ghouls, they were just the minions created by the Corpse Demon. Only by killing the Corpse Demon could they truly complete their mission.
"Let's go." Qiu Ming said in a low voice. He once again took the lead and stepped into the cave. One by one, they quickly entered the cave and pushed forward with their swords. When Chen Zong stepped into the cave, he immediately felt an indescribable chill coming from all directions. It was as if the chill was trying to invade his body and pollute his blood.
Fortunately, Chen Zong's physique was extremely strong and was able to resist such an attack. As for the others, to be able to become qualified Sky Sword Sergeants, they naturally had their own methods.
This was a pitch-black cave that seemed to lead to a realm of ghosts. The deeper they went, the colder the air became, and the more decaying the air became. They could vaguely hear the cries of ghosts, which lingered in their ears and constantly disturbed their Divine Will.
Sword cultivators were immune to all evils. Everyone here was an outstanding sword cultivator. Their sword wills had become extremely pure and condensed after being honed in battle time and time again. They would not be easily affected.
Finally, they arrived at the deepest part of the cave.
"Jie Jie Jie Jie …" An incomparably strange laughter suddenly rang out. It was so unpleasant and ear-piercing, like the constant friction of broken blades. Listening to it made one's chest feel stuffy and nauseous.
Chen Zong's expression was solemn. He had to focus his mind to resist, or else he would feel uncomfortable.
"Thirty-three experts. As long as I eat you all, this sovereign will be able to break through the limit." That abnormally evil and strange voice sounded. It seemed to come from the front, but it also felt like it was coming from all directions.
"Stop pretending to be mysterious. Come out." One of the team members suddenly roared. Sword Qi erupted, and the sword light instantly slashed out horizontally, transforming into a huge crescent moon that streaked across the sky, illuminating all directions.
In an instant, a black shadow also appeared, appearing hundreds of meters away. It was as if it had been standing there all along. Its entire body was extremely condensed, and it emitted an extremely shocking and ferocious aura.
