"Clang, clang, clang, clang …"
A series of clangs rang out like raindrops hitting a banana leaf. The Iron Corpse Commander's body shook violently. Wounds appeared on his body, from shallow to deep. His flesh and blood were torn apart.
The Iron Corpse Commander had just taken flight and moved a hundred feet to the side. However, he was still unable to shake off the storm of attacks.
"Roar!"
He opened his mouth and roared. Corpse Qi rippled around him. He threw a punch that pierced through the saber veil and headed straight for Lan Ziyi.
"Clang …"
Another clang rang out. Lan Ziyi crossed her sabers before her and blocked the attack with precision. However, she was also forced back by a violent force.
At this moment, the Iron Corpse Commander was greatly alarmed. A strong sense of danger surged in his heart like boiling water. He turned his head and looked to the side. He saw Lu Ye, who had launched a sneak attack and forced him back with a single saber, standing not far away. He held a saber in one hand, and his sharp gaze pierced into the Iron Corpse Commander's body like a sword. He poured all his power into the saber in his hand, causing the arcane artifact level Pan Shan Saber to blaze as if it was on fire.
The Iron Corpse Commander could tell with a single glance that Lu Ye was accumulating power. The next slash he was about to unleash would definitely be earth-shattering.
The Iron Corpse Commander did not panic. No matter how powerful the slash was, it had to hit him first. At this moment, Lu Ye was accumulating power. He had already forced Lan Ziyi back, and the remaining humans were nothing to be afraid of. Hence, he leaped into the air, intending to leave this troublesome place.
His body had only leaped ten meters into the air when a large hand, like an iron hoop, suddenly reached out from nowhere and grabbed his ankle. Under the Iron Corpse Commander's shocked gaze, the large hand suddenly exerted force and directly pulled him down from the air.
In the next instant, the Iron Corpse Commander felt his vision turn upside down. He lost control of his body and crashed heavily onto the ground.
It was the owner of the large hand that had grabbed him. He was being beaten up like a rag sack.
"Boom …"
A crater instantly appeared on the ground. Powerful vibrations spread in all directions, causing the eyelids of the group of Nine States cultivators who had just been attacked to twitch.
"Boom, boom, boom …"
The large armoured arm swung left and right as it smashed against the ground with loud bangs.
The Iron Corpse Commander flew into a rage. With his powerful physical body, such an encounter would naturally not cause him any serious injuries, but he had never been treated like this before.
When he was electrocuted, his body was like a boneless viper, clinging to the giant armor.
With a twist of his body, he rode on Giant Armor's neck.
"Die!"
He roared angrily and grabbed Giant Armor's neck with one hand, thrusting it toward Giant Armor's head.
Everyone who saw this scene had a change of expression.
"Ding! The Iron Corpse Commander's eyes narrowed slightly as disbelief filled his eyes.
This was because this sure-kill attack of his actually didn't cause any damage to his opponent.
He could clearly see that the moment his attack landed, the spirit energy above his opponent's head suddenly condensed and manifested.
It looked like a tortoise shell that had been shrunk countless times …
It was sturdy enough to block his attack.
Before he could be surprised, an unprecedented sense of danger suddenly descended upon him, enveloping him.
He raised his head abruptly. Lu Ye's figure was already lunging over in his field of vision. After a short build-up, his aura had risen to a level that made the Iron Corpse Commander's expression change. The saber that he had yet to unleash caused the Iron Corpse Commander to feel fear that he hadn't felt in a long time.
With a smack, Giant Armor extended his other hand and grabbed the Iron Corpse Commander's hand that was on his neck.
With one arm and one leg bound, and unable to escape, the Iron Corpse Commander finally panicked.
Lu Ye leapt up slightly. He slashed out with his saber, which was covered in flames. He brushed past Giant Armor and the Iron Corpse Commander who was riding him. He slid for more than a hundred feet before stabilizing himself.
The flames retracted, and the Mountain Pan Saber returned to its original plain appearance. The pitch-black blade had no luster at all.
The Iron Corpse Commander who was riding on Giant Armor and restrained by him stared ahead blankly. His mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
Giant Armor shook his body and shook him off. Before the Iron Corpse Commander could land on the ground, his head had already been separated from his body.
A thick stench of corpse blood spurted out.
Lan Ziyi slowly walked over from the side. She looked at Lu Ye's back and then at the Iron Corpse Commander on the ground with an indescribable look on her face.
She knew that Lu Ye's saber strike would be extremely powerful, but she didn't expect it to be this powerful. Such terrifying killing power was something she couldn't hope to achieve.
Of course, Lu Ye could also tell that the saber was a Magic Artifact. Moreover, he seemed to have activated the power of his Spirit Inscriptions when he attacked with Hot Text.
The saber was a combination of all kinds of power to produce such a powerful strike.
The Battlefield Mark on the back of her hand suddenly warmed up. Lan Ziyi immersed her Divine Sense into it and was overjoyed.
That was because Lu Ye saw a hand!
This was obviously a benefit from killing the Iron Corpse Commander. This wasn't just a merit from killing the enemy. No matter how strong the Iron Corpse Commander was, he was only equivalent to a Cloud River Realm master. The merit from killing him was no different from killing a Cloud River Realm Ninth Order cultivator.
However, merit wasn't something that could be obtained simply by killing the enemy. By contributing in such a battle, one could also obtain merit.
This was probably equivalent to a reward bestowed by the Heavens.
It was a reward for their efforts.
No matter what, the Iron Corpse Commander was one of the few peak masters of the Corpse Race. Killing him would be of great significance to the cleansing of the Corpse Calamity.
Just like back in the Sealed World of the Myriad Beasts, when she joined forces with Lu Ye and the others to kill Niu Meng, she had also obtained quite a lot of merit after that battle.
This was also why she had sensed Lu Ye's intentions and insisted on following him. Who wouldn't be willing to do something that could benefit them?
She had obtained quite a lot of merit, but Lu Ye should have obtained even more. That was because although the three of them had contributed in this battle, the one who had killed the Iron Corpse Commander was Lu Ye, who had contributed the most.
Such a powerful Iron Corpse Commander had been killed by the three of them in less than ten breaths. The cultivators of the Nine Provinces were all dumbfounded.
Only now did they truly feel the huge gap between them.
The dozen or so of them were powerless against the Iron Corpse Commander's attacks and could only sit and wait for death. However, Lu Ye and the others had eliminated them like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
The first and second place of the Cloud River Contest lived up to their names! With the Iron Corpse Commander killed, the Corpses in the surroundings could no longer cause any trouble. With everyone working together, they exterminated all the Corpses in their field of vision very quickly.
Lu Ye was focused on finding traces of the Golden Corpse King, so he did not linger around. After dealing with the trouble here, he quickly left.
The three of them wandered around and obtained quite a lot of loot. However, the Golden Corpse King seemed to have evaporated into thin air. There was no trace of him at all.
Lu Ye could not help but wonder if he had already escaped from the Sacred Hall of Turbidity.
With the current situation, the Corpses here could no longer cause any trouble. They would be purged by the enthusiastic cultivators of the Nine Provinces sooner or later. Even the Corpses scattered across the various corners of the Unparalleled Continent would become the targets of the cultivators of the Nine Provinces in the future.
After all, there were not many opportunities to obtain merit so directly and simply.
To the cultivators of the Nine Provinces, every single one of these horrifyingly shaped and smelly Corpses was highly sought after.
The Golden Corpse King was not stupid. Now that the situation was hopeless, it was very likely that he would not stay behind.
He looked no different from an ordinary Corpse Clan member. If he wanted to hide among the Corpses, probably no one would be able to discover him.
He did see the corpse of the Silver Corpse Commander … The battlefield where the corpse was located was extremely tragic. Although he did not see it with his own eyes, Lu Ye could still imagine the scene at that time.
Many cultivators of the Nine Provinces besieged the Silver Corpse Commander. The Silver Corpse Commander killed in all directions, but in the end, he was still no match for them and fell here. Just from the traces left behind on the battlefield, the Nine Provinces had paid a great price to kill the Silver Corpse Commander.
"Follow me, I think I know where the Golden Corpse King is."
Just when Lu Ye was about to give up on finding traces of the Golden Corpse King, Lan Ziyi suddenly spoke.
Lu Ye turned to look.
Lan Ziyi said, "We thought too much before. We thought that the Golden Corpse King would hide among the Corpses and attack the cultivators of the Nine Provinces, or that he had already escaped from here. But in fact, he did not leave at all. He did not even attack the cultivators of the Nine Provinces."
"Where is he?" Lu Ye asked.
Lan Ziyi's gaze moved up and looked at the highest spiritual peak in the distance.
Lu Ye frowned.
"He is the first Corpse Clan member of the Unparalleled Continent, and he is also the Golden Corpse King. He has the pride and dignity of a king. Now that the Corpse Clan is gone, how can he be a stray dog? There is a great hall over there, and he is in the great hall. "
As she spoke, Lan Ziyi waved her fair hand. "I've found out through different channels that many cultivators of the Nine Provinces who trespassed have been killed. No one dares to go over there for the time being. If you can't find him yourself, can't you ask someone? Or … do you have no friends? "
When she said the last sentence, the corners of Lan Ziyi's mouth curled up. She had a mocking expression on her face, as if someone like Lu Ye should be alone for the rest of his life.
Lu Ye raised the Pan Shan Saber in his hand. "Let's go, I'll lead the way!" Lan Ziyi instantly straightened her face and led the way.
No one knew the name of Spirit Peak anymore. This place had been occupied by the Corpse Race for a thousand years. Everything that belonged to the Turbid Heaven Temple
There was no trace of it at all.
However, this should be the highest spiritual peak in the Heavenly Earth Temple, and it was also an extremely important spiritual peak.
There was a great hall on the spiritual peak.
The entire Heavenly Earth Secret Realm was filled with the figures of the Nine Provinces' cultivators and the Corpse Clan fighting everywhere.
However, only this spiritual peak was empty. There was not a single Corpse Clan member to be seen.
Lu Ye couldn't help but believe Lan Ziyi's words.
This abnormal situation in itself explained a lot of problems.
After a while, the three figures floated in the wind and landed in front of the great hall of the spiritual peak. Lu Ye's gaze sharpened because he had already sensed the aura that he wanted to remember.
The aura of the Golden Corpse King, a Corpse Demon!
In the great hall, there was a faint smell of fresh blood. It was the blood of the Nine Provinces' cultivators who had accidentally trespassed and were killed.
The powerful aura was so dense that it was not concealed at all. It was as if an evil dragon was entrenched in it. Even if he knew that it would attract dragon slayers, he did not hide it. He wanted to use an earth-shattering battle to announce his end!
This was the dignity of a king!
