In a day, only midnight was the time when the Yin Qi was the heaviest. At this time, the creatures that lived on Yin Qi would display their greatest power.
The black-robed man in front of him was clearly using this point to control Xu Kaishan's refined corpse to kill people.
But from his impatient expression, it seemed that he was helpless. Originally, Li Shida had found him last month and asked him to help.
Originally, he was not interested, but when he heard that Xu Kaishan had broken through to the Xiantian realm, he resolutely decided to help. The corpse of a Xiantian expert was not easy to find within a hundred li.
After refining it, the refined corpse would be much more powerful than the corpse of an ordinary martial artist. The Xiantian Qi of the deceased would not disappear immediately after death.
Therefore, the black-robed man hurriedly rushed to River Wan County and dug up Xu Kaishan's grave in the middle of the night. After digging it out, he directly refined the corpse.
Originally, stealing corpses was disdained by people. After doing it, one should usually sneak away to avoid trouble.
Contrary to the black-robed man's expectations, the refined corpse was completed, but Xu Kaishan's resentment could not be released. This caused the refined corpse to be unwilling to leave River Wan County.
As soon as he made a move, he killed Li Minda first. The black-robed man was so scared that he could not do anything. The refined corpse before did not have such a situation.
In the end, he could only help Xu Kaishan fulfill his wish before leaving. According to Xu Kaishan's resentment, the refined corpse would first kill the people closest to him, then kill the enemies.
Therefore, there was the incident of the Azure Bamboo Sect's upper echelons being collectively killed.
Tonight, he went to the White Horse Gang to finally deal with Wang Gui and the others.
In one night, the White Horse Gang's three leaders were killed. Afterward, there were rumors that Wang Gui and the others had done too many bad things during the robbery and damaged their Yin De.
Those who knew about this kept silent, afraid of offending people.
At this time, the Four Seas Gambling House's backyard was empty. The group of martial artists had never seen such a scene. They were so scared that they ran away without looking back.
There were corpses everywhere in the courtyard. The three leaders were also dead on the ground. The lucky little fatty had fainted and was the only living person lying on the ground.
The two former Young Gang Masters were lying in the house in the backyard, but they could only lie on the bed and could not move at all. The only people left in the White Horse Gang who could move were Ren Kui and Yi Tian.
As the black-robed man stared at them, Yi Tian felt his scalp go numb. However, he was thinking about how to resolve this crisis.
After the refined corpse killed the three leaders, it raised its head and roared a few times at the sky. Foul air came out of its mouth and it stood there motionless.
The black-robed man was overjoyed when he saw this. The resentment in the refined corpse's chest had been completely vented, and now he could control it without any problems. He then smiled at Yi Tian and said, "You two are unlucky. Since you don't want to leave, then stay here together."
After saying that, he shook the bell in his hand and commanded the refined corpses to attack Yi Tian and Ren Kui.
Yi Tian saw that the situation was not good. He first pulled Ren Kui and ran to the backyard. To be honest, Yi Tian really did not want to confront this black-robed man.
The black-robed man chased after the two of them, and the copper bell in his hand kept ringing. The refined corpses also caught up to them one by one.
At night, the martial arts field was abnormally quiet. The entire field was empty, and only the sound of dogs barking could be heard. Even the chickens were sleeping in their sheds.
In the dark, a mortal's eyesight could not compare to the refined corpses. Moreover, Ren Kui was a bit old, so his hands and feet were slower than Yi Tian's.
Fortunately, Yi Tian did not abandon him. Yi Tian and Ren Kui were chased all the way to the martial arts field and were intercepted by the black-robed man and the refined corpses.
The black-robed man shook the bell with both hands, and the refined corpses flew forward. Ren Kui knew that he could not escape, so he could only use both hands to block.
However, he saw Yi Tian standing in front of him with a serious expression. His hands formed a seal, and a layer of green light floated on Yi Tian's body. When the refined corpse's hands came in contact with the green light, they were repelled.
Yi Tian hastily pulled Ren Kui back, and the three of them and the corpse faced each other.
The black-robed man chuckled, "It seems that I've met someone of the same trade today. Little guy, I see that you haven't cultivated for many years. I just happen to be lacking a cultivator's corpse. Meeting me today is your good fortune." After he finished speaking, he picked up the bell and began to shake it.
Ren Kui, who was standing to the side, had his horizons broadened. First a dead person was revived, and then a refined corpse was seeking revenge.
Now that the disciple that had followed him for so many years was actually a cultivator, his mind was a bit confused.
Seeing Yi Tian's calm expression, and not a trace of panic, it seemed that there was still hope for them to escape death tonight.
Yi Tian did not make a move before because he was waiting for the black-robed man to reveal an opening. Moreover, there were too many people watching, so it would not have been appropriate for him to make a move.
But now that he was waiting for something to happen, it was clear that the refined corpses under the black-robed man's control were more agile.
Perhaps Xu Kaishan's resentment had been completely vented, and now the refined corpse was completely under the black-robed man's control.
If he had known this would happen, he would have made a move before the corpse was completely under his control, and wouldn't have been forced into such a passive situation.
It seemed that the black-robed man was determined to kill him, and would definitely not let him go. Yi Tian did not want to be refined into something that was neither human nor ghost.
The two sides stared at each other for a moment, and then the black-robed man made the first move. He pointed a finger at Ren Kui, and the bell rang rapidly. The refined corpse once again pounced forward, its two hands stretched forward, and its shiny black nails were like ten steel poles, stabbing straight at Ren Kui.
The black-robed man saw that Yi Tian was protecting Ren Kui, so he naturally used a delaying tactic to create a diversion.
However, Yi Tian did not show any weakness, and stood in front of Ren Kui. He had already grasped the Phoebe Nanmu seed in his hand, and his hands formed a seal again. A wooden shield struck the incoming refined corpse, giving the black-robed man a fright.
After the refined corpse was sent flying ten feet away, it heard the bell ring and stood up again. This time, it was Yi Tian's turn to be stunned.
He had already tested the power of the wooden shield several times. Even someone like Wang Gui might not be able to stand up if he was hit head-on.
This refined corpse was too terrifying. Or was a Xiantian martial artist's body really that powerful?
Seeing that the refined corpse was unharmed, the black-robed man let out a sigh of relief. The Xiantian martial artist's corpse that he had found with great difficulty had been destroyed just like that. All his efforts had been wasted.
He shook the bell again, and commanded the refined corpse to attack once more, but what greeted him was Yi Tian's second wooden shield strike.
This time, the refined corpse's chest was slightly cracked, causing the black-robed man to feel a burst of heartache. His gaze toward Yi Tian became even more unfriendly.
After using the wooden shield consecutively, Yi Tian's spirit qi in his dantian had been mostly depleted, and cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
This was the first time he had used the Spirit Defense Barrier and the wooden shield consecutively, and his spirit qi consumption was too great.
At most, he could use the wooden shield one more time. If he couldn't handle it, then he would be finished here.
Ren Kui could also see that Yi Tian's situation was not good. If Yi Tian fell, then he definitely wouldn't be able to survive.
However, it seemed that the black-robed man opposite him was a bit stronger than his disciple, causing his heart to beat like a drum.
Both sides were slowly recovering their spirit qi, fighting to see who would make the first move. Yi Tian saw a chicken coop in the southeast corner of the martial arts field. In the past, after practicing martial arts with Little Fatty, he would always go there to steal eggs for fun, and was even caught a few times.
Yi Tian had previously seen in Li Minda's letter that the blood of a rooster was the strongest Yang energy in the world, and could eliminate all Yin energy.
He didn't know if it had any effect on the refined corpse, but in any case, he was going to treat it like a dead horse. He turned around and asked Ren Kui to help him stall for a while before running towards the chicken coop.
Ren Kui also didn't know what his disciple was doing, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't just stand there.
He had learned darts from Tu Jiaojiao a few years ago, and although his technique couldn't compare, it seemed that he could only brace himself and help Yi Tian stall for time.
After thinking about it, he reached out with his right hand, and three darts appeared in his hand. He leapt into the air and shot them at the black-robed man.
The black-robed man's attention was on Yi Tian, so he didn't know what Yi Tian was doing at the chicken coop. However, when he saw Ren Kui's three darts flying towards him, he thought that Yi Tian couldn't win and ran, leaving his companions behind.
With a cold laugh, the refined corpse blocked in front of him, and the three darts stuck in the corpse's body, causing black smoke to rise.
Another bell rang, and the refined corpse leapt towards Ren Kui. The man and the corpse met face to face, and Ren Kui was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, the black-robed man's main target wasn't him. In order to save his spiritual energy to deal with Yi Tian, he held back when controlling the refined corpse.
Even so, Ren Kui was still choking. His chest was pounded, and there was a sweet taste in his throat as he spat out large mouthfuls of blood.
Yi Tian wasn't having a good time either. There was only one male chicken in the entire chicken coop. He rushed in and stepped on the chicken poop on the ground, causing a commotion.
He had to find the male chicken among all the hens, and when he came out, he was also in a sorry state.
Fortunately, he had learned how to kill chickens from his parents when he was young. He used the knife to cut the chicken's neck, and hot red chicken blood flowed out. When he turned around and saw Ren Kui injured by the refined corpse, he couldn't care less.
After taking some chicken blood, he turned around and ran. Using the Absolute Shadow Steps, he flashed in front of Ren Kui. He gave Ren Kui a reassuring look, then turned around and glared at the black-robed man.
Both sides didn't say much, and used all of their strength for the final attack. The black-robed man bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the bell.
Soon after, he shook the bell, and the refined corpse's eyes glowed red. Its feet left the ground and it charged straight at Yi Tian.
Yi Tian didn't show any weakness. He formed another seal with his hands, and the Phoebe Nanmu seed in his hand was stained with chicken blood. This time, a blood-red wooden shield shot out from his hand.
After another collision, the wooden shield pierced through the refined corpse and sent it flying ten feet away, nailing it to the ground. The bell in the black-robed man's hand broke with a bang.
Yi Tian smiled. While you're down, I'll take your life. He ran forward and used the blood-stained knife to attack.
With a slash, he chopped off the black-robed man's head.
Looking at his incredulous expression, Yi Tian smiled. This was the first time he had fought against a cultivator, and in the end, he relied on mortal martial arts to win.
After that slash, Yi Tian was also out of breath. Fortunately, he had taken all of them today. This time, all the hidden dangers had been dealt with. Looking at the black-robed man's corpse, Yi Tian went up and searched, taking away anything that might be useful.
Thinking about it, the other party was at least a third layer Qi Disciple cultivator, so he definitely had more than Tong Chi.
As for Xu Kaishan's corpse, it was still hanging there. In any case, he would think of a way to deal with it tomorrow.
After doing all this, Yi Tian relaxed. It seemed that he had to increase his strength in the future. When he used up all his strength, it was still a battle of stamina.
Following the blood trail, Yi Tian saw Ren Kui lying on the side smiling at him. Although the smile was so ugly, it was very sincere. Yi Tian nodded to indicate that he was fine.
