"Bang!"
The sword light struck the light barrier, causing the surrounding seawater to churn. Corpse Devil Ancestor relied on his high-grade immortal item to block Sora's sword.
"Scram!"
Corpse Devil Ancestor waved the Myriad Ghost Banner in his right hand, creating a snake-like nether wind that coiled towards Sora like a living creature.
"Slash!"
Sora slashed out another sword light, cutting the snake-like nether wind into two halves. The two halves continued to fly towards Sora.
"Slash again!"
Sora frowned and slashed out two more times. The two halves of the nether wind split into four again, and unlike what Sora had imagined, its power did not decrease due to the splitting.
Sora was temporarily held back by the nether wind, but Kong Qing and Xuan Qizi were not.
"Go!"
Kong Qing pointed his finger, and a huge ice dragon formed from a water-type immortal art swept its tail towards Corpse Devil Ancestor. At the same time, the scales on the tail shot out like countless hidden weapons.
Corpse Devil Ancestor did not dodge Kong Qing's attack, while the refined corpse on his left opened its mouth and spat out a stream of poisonous water, forming a strange seal with both hands.
The poisonous water, combined with the seal, turned into a mirror-like object in an instant, blocking Corpse Devil Ancestor's side.
Whether it was the Profound Ice Dragon Scales or the sweeping dragon tail, the green light from the mirror shone on them, causing them to pause for an inconceivable moment, before striking back at Kong Qing.
At the same time, a meteor-like cold light pierced towards Corpse Devil Ancestor's back. It was Xuan Qizi's flying sword.
Corpse Devil Ancestor was waving the Myriad Ghost Banner to deal with Sora who had dealt with the nether wind. He did not seem to notice the sneak attack from behind.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing resounded. The refined corpse on the right side of Corpse Devil Ancestor stretched out its arm at the critical moment, blocking Xuan Qizi's flying sword.
Although the refined corpse blocked Xuan Qizi's flying sword with its sturdy body, it did not have the strength to knock it away. The blocked flying sword only paused for a moment before breaking through the refined corpse's blockade from a tricky angle, piercing Corpse Devil Ancestor's waist.
Corpse Demon Forefather was still protected by a bell-shaped immortal treasure, though Xuan Qizi's attack hadn't managed to break through it.
However, Xuan Qizi spat out a mouthful of blood from the tip of his tongue and changed his sword sign. The flying sword, which was originally an explosive attack, turned into a continuous attack. The flying sword spun at high speed like a drill on the surface of Corpse Devil Ancestor's defense, wanting to pierce his body.
The refined corpse on the right side of Corpse Devil Ancestor raised its hand and chopped at the flying sword. However, this time, there was no sound of metal clashing. The refined corpse's hand was immediately crushed by the flying sword. One could imagine how powerful Xuan Qizi's continuous control was.
"Crack!"
In the end, Corpse Demon Ancestor's protective layer was shattered by Xuan Qizi's flying sword.
"Scram!"
Corpse Devil Ancestor let out a loud roar the moment his protective shield was shattered. His aura was unprecedentedly strong, and a six-meter-tall Demon Statue appeared behind him. When the golem appeared, it produced a powerful shockwave that sent Xuan Qizi's flying swords and Lao Ai and Kong Qing, who were fighting Corpse Devil Ancestor, flying away.
"Pfff …"
Corpse Devil Ancestor spat out a mouthful of blood even though he'd repelled the three of them. An ability like the Demon Statue of Protection that could be used in times of crisis wasn't something that could be casually used. Otherwise, he would've used it long ago.
Moreover, even with the Guardian Golem, Corpse Devil Ancestor was still injured by Xuan Qizi's flying sword. There was a gurgling hole in his waist, and blood was gushing out.
The appearance and destruction of the Demon Statue of Protection happened in the blink of an eye. Corpse Devil Ancestor took advantage of Lao Ai and the other two's retreat to fly towards Mo Xin.
Kong Qing frowned. Although he was far away, he still had a precious consumable immortal item that he hadn't used yet.
A yellowed piece of paper flew out of Kong Qing's bosom. All the cultivators present couldn't help but shudder at this moment.
"Ancestor, don't worry about me. Go!"
The first person to speak was also the person Corpse Devil Ancestor wanted to save the most. Mo Xin didn't know what that piece of paper was, but he could feel a strong pressure from it.
Corpse Devil Ancestor turned his head. When he saw the piece of paper, his eyes widened to the extreme. He shouted in a terrified voice, "The Sage's Handwriting!"
The Sage that Corpse Devil Ancestor spoke of was the Sage Immortal of the Untainted Desolation. The Sage's Handwriting was naturally written by the Sage with his supreme magic power.
Corpse Devil Ancestor had already thought of retreating, but the Sage's Handwriting flashed with a golden light, and the words Tian Di Xuan Huang that were originally written on it flew out.
Although the words were small, the pressure they produced was extremely strong. Corpse Devil Ancestor couldn't help but feel his legs go weak. He had an impulse to kneel before the words.
"Break!"
Corpse Devil Ancestor roared. The two refined corpses beside him suddenly opened their mouths and bit down on his shoulders. His aura was raised to the limit in an instant, and it was not at all inferior to the protective golems that had just appeared.
The increase in Qi allowed Corpse Devil Ancestor to break free from the great pressure, and he immediately flew away. However, the four characters suddenly lit up and flew to the side of Corpse Devil Ancestor with extreme speed. Like a formation, they trapped Corpse Devil Ancestor from the left, right, top, and bottom.
"Kill him!"
Even though the Sage's Handwriting was only a very weak Trap Technique, Kong Qing still couldn't avoid the backlash after activating it. At this moment, Kong Qing's internal Qi was in disorder, and blood was still dripping from the corner of his mouth. He couldn't move at all. He could only warn Sora Aoi and the others.
Sora Aoi and Xuan Qizi were still immersed in the shock of the Sage's Handwriting. After Kong Qing's reminder, Sora Aoi slashed a sword light at Corpse Devil Ancestor from afar. As for Xuan Qizi, he pointed his sword at Corpse Devil Ancestor, ordering his flying sword to fly towards him.
Corpse Devil Ancestor was burning with anxiety. Even though the Sage's Handwriting was very weak, it was still a treasure that a mere peak Void Return cultivator like him couldn't contend against. He understood that if he didn't make some sacrifices now, it would be impossible for him to escape!
At this critical juncture, Corpse Devil Ancestor spat out a mouthful of blood from the tip of his tongue onto the refined corpse whose hand had been destroyed by Xuan Qizi. Immediately afterward, Corpse Devil Ancestor's body swayed, and his entire person seemed to have faded a lot. The words Tian Di Xuan Huang, which had been trapping him, actually trapped the refined corpse whose hand had been destroyed.
When Sora Aoi's flying sword and Xuan Qizi's sword light arrived, Corpse Devil Ancestor had already escaped. He originally wanted to save Demon Heart, but he didn't have the strength to do so! The loss of his life-bound refined corpse had left him in a rather weak state. He had to take some time to recuperate.
Bam!
Almost at the same time as Corpse Devil Ancestor's escape, the cyan mountain that had been suppressing Poison Meiji and the Bloodthirsty Butcher finally broke free from their resistance.
Pfff!
After breaking free from the mountain's suppression, Poison Meiji and the Bloodthirsty Butcher both spat out a mouthful of blood.
Without saying much, Xiahou Shan and Nun Xiao Jue immediately moved to stop Poison Meiji and the Bloodthirsty Butcher from escaping. Meanwhile, Sora Aoi chased after Corpse Devil Ancestor. As for Xuan Qizi, although he didn't move, he controlled his flying sword to stop Corpse Devil Ancestor's escape.
"Ah!"
Corpse Devil Ancestor screamed in agony. In his weakened state, Xuan Qizi's flying sword pierced through his abdomen.
Being pierced through by a flying sword wasn't a fatal injury for Corpse Devil Ancestor, but it wasn't a minor injury either. Under such circumstances, it was obviously impossible for him to escape Sora Aoi's pursuit.
"I swear I won't be human if I don't avenge myself!"
Corpse Devil Ancestor roared furiously as his bell-shaped immortal weapon suddenly expanded.
"Holy shit!"
Sora Aoi was already quite close to Corpse Devil Ancestor. Seeing the bell-shaped immortal weapon expand, he cried out in alarm and hurriedly retreated. He knew that the immortal weapon was about to explode!
Not all immortal weapons could explode. A high-grade immortal weapon that could explode was still quite lethal to cultivators at the peak of the Return to Void Stage.
Corpse Devil Ancestor threw the inflated bell-shaped immortal weapon at a place where the Righteous Dao cultivators were relatively densely packed. With a loud explosion, the light produced by the immortal weapon's explosion blinded everyone for a second.
Corpse Devil Ancestor had escaped, but his subordinates weren't so lucky.
First of all, Corpse Devil Ancestor's life-bound refined corpse was chopped into pieces by Sora Aoi.
Demon Heart, Daoist Sirius, and Daoist Windstorm, none of them survived. They were all killed by Daoist Yufeng.
Poison Meiji and the Bloodthirsty Butcher were relatively lucky because the immortal weapon thrown by Corpse Devil Ancestor was relatively close to them. Xiahou Shan and Nun Xiao Jue, who were fighting with them at that time, had no choice but to retreat. As a result, they were also able to escape.
However, although Poison Meiji and the Bloodthirsty Butcher managed to escape, they were both heavily injured. Especially the Bloodthirsty Butcher, who was struck by Nun Xiao Jue's prayer bead. This kind of injury was enough to make him suffer.
"Cough cough … pfff!"
The fleeing Bloodthirsty Butcher couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood after coughing a few times.
"How are you?" Poison Meiji asked anxiously.
"Old Thief Nun's prayer bead was blessed by the Buddhist Holy Light. It's like a red-hot iron ball in my body!" The Bloodthirsty Butcher said in pain.
"Buddhist Holy Light!"
Poison Meiji's murmur was filled with chills.
Buddhist Holy Light was very rare. Buddhist artifacts that had been strengthened by Buddhist Holy Light had a special destructive power against Fiendish Cultivators. If it was an ordinary item that entered his body, the Bloodthirsty Butcher only needed to use his immortal force to force it out. But with the Buddhist Holy Light Prayer Bead, he didn't dare use his immortal force to touch it. Just a touch would cause bone-chilling pain.
"It seems that we can only find a place and use the traditional method to extract the prayer bead."
The traditional method Poison Meiji spoke of was' surgical '.
"Alright!"
The Bloodthirsty Butcher agreed without hesitation. This kind of pain was nothing compared to the torment of the prayer bead.
"Where are the two of you going? If you need to disembowel, this one can help! "
A young man's voice suddenly sounded from behind Poison Meiji and the Bloodthirsty Butcher.
"Gu Zheng!"
Poison Meiji and the Bloodthirsty Butcher turned back and shouted at the same time.
"Since you're not dead yet, I'll send you on your way now!"
Poison Meiji was at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage. She was already filled with anger at the Alliance of the Righteous Dao. Now that Gu Zheng dared to block her way, she wanted to kill him with her poison.
"Whoosh!"
Poison Meiji spat out a cloud of black smoke toward Gu Zheng.
The black smoke transformed into a centipede more than ten feet long in the sea. It swam toward Gu Zheng while wagging its tail.
"I thought it was a dragon, but it's just a worm!"
Gu Zheng waved his sleeve, and an ice dragon over a hundred feet long appeared.
They were in the ocean, which was a natural advantage for water-type immortal spells. Moreover, Gu Zheng didn't want to suppress his strength. Thus, Poison Meiji and the Bloodthirsty Butcher were given a fright when the huge dragon appeared.
In their eyes, Gu Zheng was at the Return to Void Intermediate Stage. Even if he was powerful enough to fight above his rank, his strength was at most at the Return to Void Final Stage. Taking care of such an enemy was too easy for Poison Meiji!
The Bloodthirsty Butcher didn't stop Poison Meiji because he didn't think it would be difficult for her to take care of Gu Zheng. Now that the huge dragon had appeared, the Bloodthirsty Butcher became even more clear-headed.
In his eyes, the Corpse Demon Patriarch also knew water-type immortal spells. However, even with his cultivation base, he couldn't conjure such a huge ice dragon.
In the blink of an eye, the Ice Dragon swam towards the centipede, which was much smaller than it, as soon as it appeared.
Poison Meiji's poisonous gas centipede was also very powerful. It didn't have any life, but it could fight independently like Gu Zheng's ice dragon.
The poisonous gas centipede opened its mouth and spat out a dozen poisonous gas beads toward the ice dragon.
These poisonous gas beads could be said to be the "essence" of the poisonous gas. Half of them flew toward the ice dragon, while the other half flew toward Gu Zheng. Wherever it passed, the seawater would be dyed in color, as if it was being corroded.
"Whoosh …"
The ice dragon opened its mouth and spat out, freezing the surrounding water in an instant. No matter which target the beads flew toward, they all stopped midway.
"Go!"
The Bloodthirsty Butcher didn't dare hesitate any longer. He called out to Poison Meiji and turned to fly away.
"Ah!"
The Bloodthirsty Butcher, who had just turned around, let out a blood-curdling scream. His eyes were wide with disbelief! He really couldn't figure out when a monster cultivator with glaring eyes appeared behind him, and when he turned around, the long fish bone in the monster cultivator's hand had already pierced his chest, penetrating his heart.
"My master didn't say you could leave. How can you leave?"
The furious man glared, his expression solemn and serious.
"You …"
The Bloodthirsty Butcher raised his hand, wanting to strike the angry man with his palm. However, his raised hand fell weakly to the ground. Having his heart pierced was already a fatal injury. Just as he was about to strike back, the fish bone that was still in his heart suddenly emitted an extremely cold energy, hastening his death.
With the Bloodthirsty Butcher dead, Poison Meiji and Gu Zheng engaged in a fierce battle.
When the Bloodthirsty Butcher turned to flee, Poison Meiji also wanted to flee. However, with Gu Zheng entangling her, she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.
"Gu Zheng, please let me go. I'm willing to follow you from now on!"
After a simple exchange of blows, Poison Meiji discovered that she wasn't Gu Zheng's match at all. The ocean was Gu Zheng's home ground. His control of water immortal arts had reached a frightening level.
Poison Meiji was quite pretty, especially when she begged for mercy. Although she wasn't as pretty as the weapon spirit or Meow Meow, she was comparable to Lian Yuxin.
"Heh."
Gu Zheng sneered. "Isn't your name Poison Meiji? You must've cultivated the art of seduction as well, right? If you don't use it now, you won't have another chance! "
As he spoke, Gu Zheng didn't hold back in the slightest. With a stir of his natal truewater, icicles sprouted from Poison Meiji's back and shot toward her like arrows.
It felt good to fight on his home ground. If someone weaker than Gu Zheng in water immortal arts used a technique, Gu Zheng would be able to sense it in advance. However, if it was Gu Zheng who used a water element immortal art to launch a sneak attack, due to his cultivation base being inferior to Gu Zheng's, their reaction time would be slower. Although this was a little late, perhaps not even a second, but in the process of fighting, even a second was a matter of life and death.
"How would I dare to use the art of seduction on Sect Leader Gu?"
Barely dodging the icicles on her back, Poison Meiji was so anxious that she wanted to cry. She didn't use the art of seduction because she was afraid it wouldn't work. Secondly, she wanted to show her sincerity. After all, she didn't just beg for mercy to get out of trouble. She really wanted to change her allegiance.
Poison Meiji and Corpse Demon Ancestor didn't know each other in the Untainted Land. They only knew each other on Earth. Poison Meiji wasn't very loyal to Corpse Demon Ancestor. The reason why she followed him to risk her life was because she wanted a better future! Gu Zheng had such a cultivation at such a young age and was also the Sect Leader of Emei Sect. She couldn't go wrong following such a person!
"Sect Master Gu, can you just let me off this time? Even if you don't want me to follow you, as long as you let me go, I promise I won't be an enemy of the Alliance of Righteous Sects in the future. I promise I won't cultivate any evil sorcery on Earth! "
Poison Meiji was so anxious that she wanted to go crazy. She called herself 'servant' in return for Gu Zheng's even crazier attacks.
"No, this isn't good at all!"
Gu Zheng didn't think that Poison Meiji had the intention to join him. Even if he knew, he wouldn't agree.
"Ah!"
Another icicle suddenly appeared on her back. Poison Meiji wasn't lucky enough to dodge it this time and was pierced through from her back to her chest.
The power of extreme cold spread instantly. Before Poison Meiji could say anything, her beautiful face had turned into an ice sculpture.
Gu Zheng didn't have time to clean up the battlefield. He looked at the angry man first.
"Have you searched her soul?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Yes," the angry man said.
According to Angry Man's actual cultivation, he still didn't have the ability to use the 'Soul Searching Technique'. However, with nineteen inner cores, he could use many unimaginable abilities such as Soul Searching, Stealth, Immunity to Evil Qi, and so on.
