Upon hearing the ancient corpse's words, Liu Xiaoyuan sneered. This guy was clearly boasting. If he couldn't even be 100% sure of his boasting, then it proved that the ancient corpse's level was about the same as his own.
If this ancient corpse's combat power is terrifying, then it would definitely say frankly that Liu Xiaoyuan is trash, and that killing Liu Xiaoyuan is as easy as crushing an ant.
When Yang Feng and the others saw their companions die tragically, they were so frightened that they turned into cowards and hid behind, too afraid to move.
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at these people, smiled and shook his head; he hadn't expected them to be of any help anyway.
Liu Xiaoyuan said to Lu Siyao, "Siyao, step aside. I'll kill this guy soon."
This isn't Liu Xiaoyuan bragging; he genuinely has the ability to make this ancient corpse pose no threat to him whatsoever.
Actually, to be precise, what's in front of us shouldn't be considered an ancient corpse, since ancient corpses are lifeless. What we're talking about is probably a heretical cultivator who has practiced some kind of evil magic.
"Haha... How arrogant! In that case, I'll kill you first, then deal with the others," the ancient corpse said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ancient corpse attacked Liu Xiaoyuan. With a leap, it appeared in front of Liu Xiaoyuan and, just like before, exhaled a breath that transformed into two sharp swords that flew towards Liu Xiaoyuan's throat and forehead.
These two places are vital points in the human body; if struck by a sharp sword, one will surely lose their life.
Facing the two swords formed from gas flying towards him, Liu Xiaoyuan snorted coldly and immediately unleashed the Fire Pearl in his hand, sending out two flames to meet the two swords formed from gas.
The moment the flames touched the two swords formed from gas, they instantly crumbled and vanished into nothingness, just like hot water hitting snow.
"Come on, come on." Liu Xiaoyuan beckoned to the ancient corpse, signaling it to attack again. However, the ancient corpse was a little scared because it was afraid of Liu Xiaoyuan, especially the Fire Pearl in Liu Xiaoyuan's hand.
Liu Xiaoyuan was terrified when he saw the ancient corpse. He sneered, "You're scared? Good thing you're scared. I can just wipe you all out in one fell swoop."
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately activated the Fire Pearl and flew towards the ancient corpse. As it flew, the flames emitted by the Fire Pearl rushed towards the ancient corpse.
The ancient corpse seemed terrified of the flames from the Fire Pearl, and hurriedly dodged them as if the flames were its natural enemy.
Seeing the ancient corpse like this, Liu Xiaoyuan revealed a cold smile and continued to urge the Fire Pearl to attack the ancient corpse.
After realizing that it had no way out, the ancient corpse knelt down before Liu Xiaoyuan and began to beg for mercy: "Spare my life, spare my life."
Liu Xiaoyuan dared not be careless. This thing was extremely cunning, and he had to keep a close eye on its movements at all times. He absolutely could not let this thing catch him off guard.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately instructed the Fire Spirit to surround the ancient corpse with the flames inside the Fire Pearl, and instructed the Fire Spirit to kill the ancient corpse immediately if it made any unusual movements, without hesitation.
After completing these tasks, Liu Xiaoyuan looked at the ancient corpse and asked, "I'm asking you, why are you here? What kind of evil magic do you practice?"
The ancient corpse said, "Actually, we cultivate the art of corpse refining. Later, our sect was not tolerated by the righteous path. In the end, in order to save our lives, we refined ourselves into corpses and hid in coffins. We have been hiding for thousands of years."
Wow! This really takes a lot of willpower and determination. Not everyone can do this. To turn yourself into a corpse, you really have to do it.
"So, the remaining coffins are all your companions?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked, looking at him.
The ancient corpse dared not refuse to answer, and nodded directly, saying, "Yes, those people are my companions."
"How many people are left in total?" Liu Xiaoyuan continued to ask. If these things are not eliminated and they are released, countless mortals will suffer.
The ancient corpse thought for a moment and said, "There are six more people. We buried them according to the orientation of the Big Dipper. Besides me, there are six others that have not been unearthed."
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at the ancient corpse and said, "Keep thinking for me. If there's anything else I haven't answered, answer me quickly when you remember it."
The ancient corpse quickly said, "Except for some things about the methods of refining corpses, I've told you everything. There's nothing I'm hiding."
These guys are quite clever. They know to create an ancient tomb complex when they are buried, so that when it is discovered in the future, it will definitely be excavated, and then they can see the light of day again. They have really planned everything.
So, their scheme finally succeeded in fooling someone, but they were unlucky to run into Liu Xiaoyuan; otherwise, their plan would have succeeded.
Liu Xiaoyuan asked, "I'm curious, now that you've survived, why didn't you go and rescue your other companions? Did you intend to venture out into the world alone?"
The ancient corpse shook its head and said, "That's not it. I just came out, and my body is still not used to it. So, I need to recover as soon as possible, otherwise, there will be big trouble. I originally planned to take action tonight after absorbing the vital energy of several people, but who knew you would come."
After learning what had happened, Liu Xiaoyuan burned the ancient corpse to death, turning it into a pile of ashes.
After doing all this, Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Yang Feng and the others and said, "You all heard what this guy said just now, so you know what to do next, right?"
Yang Feng looked at Liu Xiaoyuan for a while before saying, "I know, I know."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Now that you know, what are you still standing here for? Hurry up and take action. My time is precious, and I don't have that much free time to wait for you here."
Yang Feng nodded repeatedly in agreement, then called his friends to go out and dig up the coffin.
"What are you doing? These are cultural relics! You can't touch them! You're damaging them!" The archaeological experts immediately stopped Yang Feng and his group as they dug haphazardly into the ancient tombs.
Yang Feng said, "What do you know? What ancient tomb? If you don't want to die, don't spout nonsense here. If you want to die, don't harm others."
The expert, exasperated, pointed at Yang Feng and said, "I'm going to file a complaint against you, I'm going to complain to your superiors..."
Yang Feng, seemingly unconcerned, said, "Don't spout nonsense here. If you want to complain, go ahead. If you stand here any longer, I'll beat you up."
Enraged by Yang Feng's unreasonable behavior, the expert pointed at him and said, "You just wait, you'll regret this! I'll make sure you can't bear the consequences!"
