Chapter 93 Iron Corpse
Chen Luo ran decisively.
He ran away the moment he caught Junior Brother Du without saying a word.
He led his men out of the fighting range, and did not see the formation on the ground activated. The spiders and bats that were killed did not gather again, and they were allowed to escape. The aura that Chu Hongye finally hit on Junior Brother Du was very terrifying, and these things did not dare to approach.
"Something's not right. Such a big thing happened, but the sect didn't react at all." After running for a while, the unconscious Junior Brother Du woke up.
He had just swallowed two pills and was feeling a little better now. He was holding a few poison jars in his hands and pouring poison into his mouth as if it were free.
'Maybe it's not that there's no response, but that it can't come over.'
Chen Luo glanced at the dark clouds in the sky.
It was thicker than before, and vaguely there seemed to be a human figure emerging from the thundercloud.
This scene reminded him of a rumor.
Overcome tribulation!
According to the current cultivation system, the weakest level of the heavenly tribulation is the Jindan stage. This level of power is enough to turn the tide of the battle. If there really is a Jindan cultivator above, then for the Shenhu Xianmen, the situation will really get out of control.
"There's someone ahead."
A message suddenly came from the foundation-building brain.
Chen Luo stopped and looked at the ruins in front of him.
Several figures escaped from inside. After a closer look, he found that one of them was Lian Qiang, the disciple of Shenhuo Peak who had chased the wandering cultivators at the beginning. There were also several disciples of Shenhu Xianmen beside him. Chen Luo remembered that these people were all assigned to the group of their senior brother from Wudao Peak.
The captain of the Qi Refining Level 6, these guys are even worse off than me. There are no masters in their Wudao Peak this year. Even if the leader has some trump cards, he can only burst out the strength of the Qi Refining Level 7 at most. In this situation, the Qi Refining Level 7 is mostly gone.
Lian Qiang is now in a miserable state, with half of his head covered in blood and a wound on the left side of his chest so deep that the bone can be seen. Although he has suppressed the pain temporarily, his own strength has also been affected.
"Junior Brother Du, Junior Brother Chen!"
After seeing Chen Luo and Junior Brother Du, Lian Qiang showed an expression of surprise on his face.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
Junior Brother Du asked.
Judging from the appearance of their group, they probably encountered an accident, and it was impossible for a casual cultivator to injure them like this. Especially for Lian Qiang, a physical cultivator with thick skin and flesh, it would be difficult for him to be injured like this without a stronger person taking action.
"It's the Corpse Raising Sect! Senior Brother Jiang was ambushed by them."
The disciple from Tianjian Peak who was following Lian Qiang said with a pale face.
This person was none other than the senior brother who led the team from Wudao Peak. The senior brother Jiang he mentioned was the taciturn senior brother who was at the sixth level of Qi training.
"Where's Senior Sister Chu?"
Lian Qiang glanced at Chen Luo and the others and quickly asked.
"Senior Sister Chu has been held back by the Baoyue Witch from the Nine Poison Valley." Junior Brother Du briefly explained the situation.
When they heard the name of Nine Poison Valley, the faces of Lian Qiang and others changed.
The Corpse-Raising Sect alone is troublesome enough, and now a Nine Poison Valley has appeared. They are in danger.
"What should we do? Why don't we go save Senior Brother Jiang first! If we don't go there, Senior Brother Jiang will really be gone."
The pale-faced disciples of Tianjian Peak were at a loss. They originally wanted to come to Chu Hongye to ask for help, but now it seemed that Chu Hongye could not protect himself, and it was even a question whether he could survive.
"I think we should save Senior Sister Chu first. She is more powerful."
Another disciple of Gu Wang Feng expressed his opinion that he never wanted to face the corpse puppets of the Corpse-Raising Sect again.
Lian Qiang also looked hesitant.
The question he was thinking about was different from that of his fellow junior brothers. What he was thinking about now was how to survive.
"I have sent a distress signal to the elders of the sect."
Chen Luo suddenly spoke.
"What?"
"Asking for help from the sect means mission failure"
"It's a question of whether we can survive, why worry about the mission! Brother Chen, when did you send out the distress signal?"
Lian Qiang perked up and asked immediately.
He was just thinking about whether to send a distress signal, but he didn't expect that someone had already done it, which made him feel relieved.
"When you went after that random cultivator."
Chen Luo had sent out a distress signal a long time ago, even earlier than he said. But there was no need to make it too clear at this time, as he didn't know if there were any enemies lurking in the dark.
What was originally a simple mission to encircle and suppress the scattered cultivators has now completely deteriorated.
"Then let's wait here and don't go anywhere!"
Lian Qiang made a decision immediately.
Among the people present, he was the strongest, so naturally no one objected to what he said.
The group found an empty house, set up some simple defensive traps, and then sat down inside the house.
The atmosphere was extremely heavy and no one spoke.
Chen Luo was also sorting out his previous experiences.
This was his first time encountering a battle at the level of immortal cultivators. The danger level was even higher than a martial arts fight, and there was almost no room for error.
A bite from a bat or a spider can kill you.
Time passed, and half an hour went by in the blink of an eye.
Just as several people were walking back and forth anxiously, a bright light suddenly came from outside. The flames shot up into the sky, and after reaching a certain height, they exploded with a "bang", and a lake-shaped mark unfolded in the sky. The light was so dazzling that even the formation and the fog could not block it.
"It's the sect's mark. A senior master in the foundation-building stage has arrived!"
Everyone's spirits were lifted and they instantly saw hope of survival.
"Hurry up and go find my uncle to save him."
The situation would be stabilized if the foundation-building immortals came. So far, only Qi-refining disciples had appeared in the Corpse-raising Sect and the Nine Poison Valley, and there was no foundation-building cultivator at all. At this time, if the foundation-building elders of the Shenhu Immortal Sect came to the fore, the situation would be stabilized in an instant.
Several people quickly stood up and headed towards the signal gathering point. In this situation, only by following the foundation-building cultivators can one have a hope of escaping. Chen Luo did not take any risks. He did not know how long Chu Hongye and Senior Brother Jiang could hold on. Once they could not hold on, and the people from the Nine Poison Valley and the Corpse-raising Sect were free, none of these disciples in the middle stage of Qi training would be able to escape. The evil cultivators would not listen to their nonsense. They would most likely kill people right away and take the bodies back to refine the corpses after killing them. They would not waste anything.
The crowd quickly crossed the street and arrived at the location designated by the signal.
This is a central square, which used to be the area where independent practitioners set up stalls. Now it is empty, with not a single person in sight.
The sky became even darker.
The light in broad daylight was as dim as that in the middle of night. Everyone noticed this strange scene, but at this moment everyone was focused on escaping and no one cared about so much.
"Where's the uncle?"
“Why is there no one here!”
Abandoned long streets and collapsed stores.
Everyone searched around but couldn't find the Foundation Establishment Master who sent the signal.
“Previously, the sect signal could only be sent by an uncle-in-law who was in the foundation-building stage.” Lian Qiang did not finish his words.
This speculation made everyone feel even colder. If the situation was really as they thought, then they might not be able to see the sun tomorrow morning.
Clang
On the dark street, the sound of a wooden board hitting the ground was heard.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found a black coffin being opened inside a coffin shop on the corner of the street.
A zombie covered in black stood in the coffin, motionless, with the cold wind blowing his dry, grass-like hair.
This zombie is even more terrifying than the black-haired zombie that appeared before. It is completely black and emits a luster like black iron. There is an old yellow paper stuck in the middle of its eyebrows. Its bloodthirsty eyes are hidden behind a yellow talisman, giving people a creepy feeling.
“Iron Corpse!! It’s the Iron Corpse of the Corpse-Raising Sect!”
Junior Brother Du’s face turned pale. He recognized the level of the corpse puppet opposite him, and his voice trembled a little.
In the Corpse-raising Sect.
Zombies are divided into several levels. Those that absorb spiritual energy and grow black hair are ordinary zombies, corresponding to the Qi Refining Realm. The more black hair, the stronger they are. The black-haired zombie that killed Senior Brother Wudaofeng before was in the late Qi Refining Realm.
The zombie in front of him is different. He has surpassed the level of the black-haired zombie. His whole body is as hard as iron, and the evil spirit has been refined into his body.
This level of corpse puppet has a special name in the Corpse Cultivation Sect called "Iron Corpse". Iron Corpse corresponds to the Foundation Establishment Stage! In other words, the zombie in front of them is at the first level of Foundation Establishment Immortal Cultivation.
"We'll know if it's an iron corpse after trying it!"
It has come to this point and there is no way out for everyone. Maybe the zombie in front of them is just a fake.
The one who sent the signal here before was their Shenhu Xianmen's foundation-building master. Maybe this iron corpse has been killed by their Shenhu Xianmen's master, and then the master left to rescue others.
It's not impossible.
After figuring this out, the sword disciple made a hand gesture and the sword in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath.
A flash of sword light swept across and slashed fiercely on the iron corpse's neck.
clang!!
The sharp sword energy slashed on the iron corpse's neck, and there was a sound of metal clashing. The sword energy lasted only for a moment before it was dissipated. Looking at the iron corpse again, there was not even a mark left on its neck.
"run!"
Although I don’t know what happened to the uncle who came to support me, nothing is more important than my life right now.
"roar"
This sword seemed to have angered the Iron Corpse, and the next moment everyone saw the yellow talisman above the Iron Corpse's head floating up.
Black evil energy burst out from the iron corpse's body.
A despairing and murderous aura swept over. At such a close distance, everyone could smell the scent of death.
Foundation-building iron corpse!
Faced with the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage, these Qi Refining cultivators were like chickens to be slaughtered, completely unable to fight back.
Puff
Blood splattered, and a red heart was taken out by the iron corpse.
The sword cultivator who had tried to attack earlier didn't even scream before he was torn in half on the spot. As expected of a sword cultivator with high attack and low defense, he died instantly. If it was a physical cultivator from the Divine Fire Peak, he would probably be able to block it, so it wouldn't be so easy to tear him apart.
Chen Luo ran the fastest.
As soon as the iron corpse appeared, the two foundation-building brains and the mummy brain in his mind sent him a danger signal. However, the group of people moved too quickly, and before he could remind them, the sword-cultivating senior brother had already raised his sword.
There was no time to stop him, so he turned and ran without saying a word.
Following him was Junior Brother Du.
This Poison Junior Brother was well-informed and his methods were somewhat mysterious. He was also the first one to recognize the Iron Corpse. After the Sword Cultivator disciple took action, he reacted in the same way as Chen Luo.
