"Master Xiao?"
With a gentle voice, Su Lianyue called Xiao Chen tentatively. But at this moment, Xiao Chen didn't react at all. Her eyes getting colder and colder, Su Lianyue took two steps closer.
She knew well enough that when a cultivator was making a breakthrough to reach the Nirvana Realm, he would enter into a state of suspended animation. Now Xiao Chen was in such a state. As long as Su Lianyue interrupted him with a fatal attack at this time, Xiao Chen would lose all his cultivation or even lose his soul.
Eyes getting colder, Su Lianyue gathered her energy and made a sharp blade with purple light. Holding it in her hand, she slowly walked to Xiao Chen. In fact, she didn't really want to kill Xiao Chen. At this moment, she remembered that Xiao Chen had always been good to her in the past two months. He picked and washed spiritual fruit for her. When she felt cold, he would set up a fire to keep her warm. There was even a time when she
Xiao Chen drove the Devil Qi out of his body and heard the Great Devil Heaven's Bane talk about the cultivation method of the first generation. He thought, "Was this Mystic Diabolic Enchantment created by Heaven Exterminator, the first Apostate of Heaven?" "However, I only accidentally saw the Mystic Diabolic Enchantment in the Xiao family's ancient tomb. Why would it appear in the Xiao family? Xiao Ning founded the Xiao family in the Human World, so he must have brought in this cultivation method from the Xiao Family in the Violet Manor, which also seemed to be one of the Heaven-exterminating families at that time." The Great Devil Heaven's Bane yelled at Xiao Chen again. "Who the hell are you? Are you a descendant of a Heaven-exterminating family?" "But I don't have enough time to think more about this!" Xiao Chen came back to his senses. Once against, the Great Devil Heaven's Bane burst into anger. "You are a traitor! Then I will never le
Red Sleeve died thousands of years ago and became a Walking Corpse. Xiao Chen could not imagine why she still had complex feelings which could even affect the emotions of others. Su Lianyue was wide awake now but felt at a loss. Just now, she didn't know why she would feel so sad. And even, she... However, it was useless to think of it at this moment. She whispered, "What about now?" Xiao Chen said nothing. He got up and walked to the entrance of the cave. Closing his eyes, he carefully searched the places nearby with his Divine Sense. Suddenly, a spiritual fluctuation came to him from the west. Instantly, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and said, "The west. It is in the west. Let's go!" Immediately, they covered their auras. Then to keep themselves from the influence of the chill, each of them started to run their mind cultivation methods silently. It was unusual that Red Sleeve suddenly came to this mystic domain. Therefore, they had to check it
The sight before Xiao Chen was grisly and gruesome. Dead bodies scattered everywhere around him, most of them belonging to the acolytes or students of the Corpse Refinery Sect who had been killed. Even so, their terrible deaths were eclipsed by the hideously and grotesquely mangled and maimed remains of the students and fighters of the Orthodox Path. This could only be the work of Corpse Puppets, Xiao Chen observed, That nothing is left remaining save for some bloody bits of flesh and viscera. Still, all the signs only indicated that the invasion of the Summit of Mystics had already begun for days. The duo shared a quick look before they surveyed the familiar surroundings of the Ridge of the Fallen Drake. The invading host had reached the Ridge, the throat of the Corpse Refinery Sect's defenses and it was where the most decisive battle of this invasion would take place. Just then, a series of flickering movements around them made their heads jerked. Two f
The battle came to another standstill with both sides retreating back to their lines. The guardian of the Ridge, Elder Long ran hurriedly to the Great Immortal and whispered into his ears, "We cannot afford to have this ruckus to continue, Grand Elder! We have only six days until the awakening of the Divine Corpse. Fort Raksasa and the other two evil orders are our true enemies here and they could well be hiding, biding their time to strike a critical blow upon us! Don't you think we should..." But he was stopped short by the Great Immortal who held up an arm frantically, his face as hard as stone. "No. We'll hold them off however we must. Under no circumstances must any of the former High Chieftains be disturbed by this. Go to Ye Wuxin. See if he is ready. These people will be nothing but vermin if he is successful in taming that Corpse King." He swiveled and turned to the army of invaders and shouted, "Who among you is the one leading this attack?" A fi
Yu Yifeng clasped firmly on Xiao Chen's arm, "Calm down!" Xiao Chen stretched his fingers, his hand numb from the devastating blowback caused when the Great Immortal parried his stroke. Beads of tears hung from his eyelashes as he murmured, "Muxue... She's... she's... Six more days, and Red Sleeve will... she will..." His voice broke at the foreboding of whatever monstrosity Red Sleeve could possibly conceive. "Red Sleeve?" Yu Yifeng uttered, puzzled and confused. Xiao Chen merely shook his head, his expression dour and sullen, simply explaining, "That's the Divine Corpse." Tens of yards behind, the invaders were still incredulous with repudiation. Among them, Zuoqiu Yang felt the worst. The sight of Xiao Chen casually reducing tens of Corpse Puppets into smithereens would forever haunt him like a nightmare, gnawing at his confidence that he began to feel meek and helpless. Even in his best, he could at most kill one or two of these abominat
The staggering presence grew until the green sarcophagus reached within a mile from the battlefield. Unable to withstand the pressure any longer, a voice screamed, "It's the Divine Corpse! The Divine Corpse has awakened!" The peaking morale of the invaders pouring through the crumbling formation of the routed defenders immediately plummeted down a dark hole and the deserters felt themselves filled with renewed faith that their accursed order might be salvaged after all. "We're saved!" Exultant cries from the defenders tore through the air with whoops and exclamations of joy, "Come back, all of you! The Divine Corpse is awakened! The Divine Corpse is awakened!" The sarcophagus continued its flight and stopped overhead the center of the square, casting a canopy of fear and deathly chill over everything below. Everyone stopped and looked up, hardly moving a muscle as if petrified into stone. As if with a will of its own, the green sarcophagus seemed attracte
Xiao Chen groaned, his gaze lowering to see blood flowing unstamped from where Li Muxue's hand was planted into him. He managed a weak smile and made no attempt to strike nor push away the Desecrated Li Muxue. Gasps and cries of shock chorused from behind him. But no one else was more startled by Luo Shangyan and her companions. Yu Yifeng was lurching with distress and anxiety, but he did not dare come closer. "Lil Chen! Come back here!" He cried. If Xiao Chen had heard him, he made no sign of it. He merely raised a head to look at everyone around him; the frightened eyes of the now-daunted invaders, the concerned and worried looks from his companions of the Jade Qing Sect, but he did nothing. He did not make any move to defend himself nor did he channel any of his spiritual powers, afraid that he might in turn injure Li Muxue. Whoever she was, Hua Weiyang or Li Muxue, he would never be able to raise a finger against her. With a stare so blank and lost th
"Heh heh heh heh heh..." There was no other voice or noise save for the hollow cackling laugh that seemed to curdle the blood in the veins in everyone in the square. Every pair of eyes looked his way and upon every face was a look of fear, consternation, or bewilderment. Even the Blood Corpses seemed to tremble, although they were more frightened of his growing Rancorous Qi rather than his sinister laughter. The Great Immortal from Hell shared a dark look with Ye Wuxin as men began to fret and squirm restlessly with fear. Knowing that things were not boding well for them, the two men quickly weaved spells to recall their Blood Corpses. But no amount of spell they used could move the legion of Blood Corpses. They just would not respond to the call of their masters, standing rooted to where they were, trembling and shaking quietly. "Heh heh heh heh heh..." Xiao Chen let loose a snicker and leaped into the air suddenly with blood dripping from
