The baleful aura and malice emanating from the dozens of corpses was incomparably frightening.
The entire palace was instantly filled with a frightening evil aura. The aura was incomparably dense, surging endlessly like a tide of evil, rushing in from all directions.
In the next breath, the dozens of corpses all moved. From standing still like statues to pouncing like lightning, there was no abruptness in between. Their speed was incredibly fast, inconceivably fast.
Chen Zong felt his scalp go numb. He was finally sure why the sixth level earth spirit realm cultivator who'd entered first had been killed in just a few breaths of time.
The aura emanating from each of the dozens of corpses was very strong. They were at least at the sixth level of the earth spirit realm, and the stronger ones were at the eighth level.
Think about it, what would it feel like to be surrounded by dozens of corpses that were at least at the sixth to eighth level of the earth spirit realm? It was like a lamb entering a pack of wolves.
Even if Chen Zong didn't think he was a lamb, he still couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb.
The dense evil aura continuously pounded against his body. The charging corpses reached out with their sharp claws, tearing through the darkness.
"Kill!"
With a low roar, Chen Zong completely vented out the surging emotions in his heart. The Heavenly Will Sword was unsheathed and streaked across the sky, emitting a sparkling sword light in the dark palace. It spread out like a ring of stars, and an incomparably tyrannical force instantly bombarded the charging corpses in all directions.
The might of this attack had reached the seventh level of the earth spirit realm. The corpses that weren't at the seventh level of the earth spirit realm all retreated at an even faster speed after being hit. The corpses of the seventh level of the earth spirit realm also instantly fell to the ground. Only the three corpses of the eighth level of the earth spirit realm were unaffected. They shattered the sword light and continued to pounce towards Chen Zongfei.
The pressure that the three eighth level earth spirit realm corpses brought to Chen Zong was very obvious.
He struck out again.
The sword light was extremely fast.
Under the activation of the Miniature Explosion Sword Art, Heavenly Scar slashed out, drawing an incomparably sharp trajectory as it slashed at the three corpses at the same time.
After a period of cultivation and execution, the Miniature Explosion Sword Art had reached great success from the beginning. Its power had also increased from the initial ten percent to thirty percent.
The difference between 30% and 10% was huge.
The additional 20% was enough to increase the power of Chen Zong's sword.
The three corpses at the eighth level of the earth spirit realm paused for a moment before being sent flying backwards by this powerful strike. Their tough bodies had been torn apart by the blade, leaving behind a long gash.
However, this kind of injury was nothing to the Evil Corpses. Dozens of Evil Corpses pounced again, and their low roars were even more terrifying.
Chen Zong immediately retreated out of the palace with a solemn expression.
The pressure from the dozens of evil corpses was too great. Without confidence, it was best to retreat first.
Of course, if he could activate the power of the Tower of Ascension, his strength would become even more powerful. But the problem was that it was not easy to kill these evil corpses. Most importantly, the gaze that was spying on him in the dark gave Chen Zong a lot of pressure.
One could imagine how terrifying the strength of the owner of that gaze was.
Chen Zong was not confident that he could deal with them.
However, just as Chen Zong was about to leave the palace, the open door suddenly closed with a bang, sealing Chen Zong within the palace.
He struck out with his sword, and the light of the sword tore through the darkness, viciously slashing towards the closed door.
Rumbling sounds rang out, echoing endlessly within the palace. The closed door did not budge at all, and Chen Zong's powerful strike did not leave a single mark on it.
Chen Zong's expression immediately turned grave.
The dozens of evil corpses approached at an astonishing speed, and a terrifying evil aura pressed down like a raging tide.
Turning around, Chen Zong's face was grave as his back faced the closed door. His eyes were as sharp as the edge of a sword as he stared at the dozens of evil corpses in front of him.
At least in this situation, he would not be attacked from the front and the back.
This situation was completely out of Chen Zong's expectations, but since things had come to this point, he could only face them with all his might.
Taking a deep breath, a cold aura poured into his body, causing Chen Zong to feel a chill run down his spine.
Chen Zong was ready to cut off all means of retreat. He planned to use the power of the Sky Tower to kill these evil corpses.
However, the actions of the evil corpses caused Chen Zong to pause.
The dozens of evil corpses did not immediately charge over, but instead stopped a hundred meters away from Chen Zong. Their green eyes were suffused with a luster that caused Chen Zong's scalp to tingle.
"What's going on?" A thought flashed through Chen Zong's mind.
This situation was a bit strange, and Chen Zong could not figure it out.
It seemed to be a conspiracy.
The evil corpses moved again. A group of sixth level earth spirit realm evil corpses moved forward, increasing their speed as they closed in on Chen Zong. The seventh and eighth level earth spirit realm evil corpses remained motionless, as if they had turned into statues again.
There were a total of sixty-three evil corpses within the palace. There were forty-two sixth level earth spirit realm corpses, eighteen seventh level earth spirit realm corpses, and the remaining three eighth level earth spirit realm corpses.
Now, there were forty-two sixth level earth spirit realm evil corpses closing in on them in a fan shape.
Even if they were only at the sixth level earth spirit realm, forty-two evil corpses still brought a lot of pressure to Chen Zong.
Although he didn't know what the enemy wanted to do, this wasn't enough for Chen Zong to activate the power of the Tower.
"No matter what their goal is, I will use the sword in my hand to shatter them." Chen Zong's tone was incomparably resolute, and his eyes were even more resolute.
With the Heavenly Will Sword in hand, strands of cold light mixed with sword aura drifted about, slicing through the air around them.
Chen Zong's sharp eyes quickly swept over and took in all forty-two evil corpses. He could clearly see the order of the forty-two evil corpses, their movements, and every minute movement. They were all within his grasp.
In that instant, Chen Zong also formulated the best way to fight.
His body swayed as his left foot took a step to the upper left. He waved the Heavenly Will Sword and stabbed forward with astonishing power.
This sword strike was as swift as a spark.
The evil corpse on the left closest to him was directly hit, and the terrifying edge of the sword pierced through the evil corpse like a hot knife through butter. In the next moment, the spark suddenly expanded and spread out with astonishing speed, covering the evil corpse's entire body.
The evil corpse became a burning corpse in the blink of an eye. The fire was incomparably fierce and quickly burned the evil corpse. The smell of burnt flesh immediately filled the air and floated in the air, making one feel nauseous.
The space within the palace was sealed off, so the smell of burnt flesh couldn't spread out. It only lingered in the air and continued to accumulate.
Chen Zong's expression didn't change in the slightest, as if the nauseating and dizzying smell didn't exist.
The second sword strike killed another evil corpse.
The third strike … the fourth strike … the fifth strike …
Chen Zong killed a corpse with every strike. In the span of a few breaths, twelve evil corpses had been killed by Chen Zong. The evil corpses were extremely fast and the distance was short. Chen Zong being able to kill twelve of them was already the highest efficiency that he could deduce.
The remaining thirty sixth level earth spirit realm evil corpses had already closed in and were launching their most ferocious attacks at Chen Zong.
Chen Zong deployed the profound heart transformation method to the extreme. His body was incomparably nimble as he shuttled through the thirty evil corpses as if he were weightless. He constantly dodged their attacks and counterattacked with his sword at the same time.
With twelve fewer evil corpses, the pressure on Chen Zong lessened quite a bit. Although the evil corpses were strong and fast, they weren't nimble enough and didn't have any techniques to speak of. Their strong defense was nothing to the Heavenly Will Sword, which had the power of an upper rank spirit sword.
It was as if they were made of paper. One strike, one kill.
Thirty evil corpses were all killed by Chen Zong under his full strength. The stench didn't disperse and condensed here. A single breath made Chen Zong feel dizzy and he hurriedly held his breath.
The forty-two sixth level earth spirit realm evil corpses had all been killed. At this moment, the eighteen seventh level earth spirit realm evil corpses moved.
Chen Zong's expression grew more and more solemn.
If the forty-two sixth level earth spirit realm evil corpses were only a slight threat to him, then the eighteen seventh level earth spirit realm evil corpses were a true threat to him.
This was because the eighteen seventh level earth spirit realm evil corpses were absolutely stronger than the forty-two sixth level earth spirit realm evil corpses.
The eighteen seventh level earth spirit realm evil corpses pounced forward one after another at an even faster speed.
Chen Zong's gaze was sharp as he brandished his sword and became one with the sword. He was as swift as a swimming dragon as he passed through two evil corpses in the blink of an eye.
With two loud booms, the two seventh level earth spirit realm evil corpses seemed to have been set ablaze by the fierce flames.
The sparks were incomparably hot and frightening. Even the seventh level earth spirit realm evil corpses couldn't withstand it with their strong bodies.
As he moved, Chen Zong narrowly avoided the evil corpses' pouncing attacks as he struck out with his sword.
He even deployed the Miniature Explosion Sword Art and killed all eighteen seventh level earth spirit realm evil corpses in the end.
However, Chen Zong wasn't the slightest bit happy because there were still three evil corpses left. They weren't sixth level earth spirit realm or seventh level earth spirit realm corpses, but the even more powerful eighth level earth spirit realm corpses.
Any eighth level earth spirit realm evil corpse was enough to give him a great deal of pressure, not to mention three.
The three evil corpses moved and pounced from the left, center, and right. They were as fast as lightning as they tore through the air, closing in on Chen Zong in an instant. Their sharp claws tore through the air, causing Chen Zong's expression to change and his hair to stand on end.
Compared to the Sword Marquis, these evil corpses were even stronger.
The Demonic Ice Ring also struck out at that moment, shooting directly towards the evil corpse in the middle and enveloping it in an instant. The terrifying power of ice quickly spread out and covered the evil corpse's entire body. However, the evil corpse continued to struggle, resisting the spread of the ice with its terrifying evil strength.
With no time to lose, Chen Zong turned the impossible into the possible and broke free from the combined attacks of the two powerful evil corpses. His sword pierced through the air and slashed towards the evil corpse's head that was temporarily enveloped by the Demonic Ice Ring.
This sword strike was incomparably powerful.
Starfire Skystrike!
A sword strike that had been executed with all his strength, just to kill the enemy.
With a bang, the eighth level earth spirit realm corpse's head was instantly hit and half of it exploded. Chen Zong immediately followed up with a second blow.
Heavenly Scar!
The sword slashed through the corpse's broken neck and severed its head. The headless evil corpse couldn't resist the power of the Demonic Ice Ring. Frost quickly spread and it immediately turned into an ice sculpture.
The other two evil corpses pounced towards Chen Zong, who immediately defended himself.
