Chapter 350: The Four Great Corpse Puppets and Heaven's Shield! (Part 2)
"
"Hey."
Huo Yun'er covered her mouth and chuckled, "You don't understand her."
"The fact that she can say such words is already her way of asking for help."
"You want her to say 'Please help me'? That's almost impossible, it's even harder for her to accept than killing her."
"Is that so?"
Medusa was surprised.
This...
She was truly arrogant and proud.
Even I, as the Queen, wouldn't have such an attitude when asking for help, interesting~!
······
As planned, they took their positions.
"Move!"
At Xiao Ling'er's command, everyone attacked simultaneously.
Unearthly fires filled the sky!
The miniature artificial sun appeared!
One after another, immortal flowers bloomed.
Sword auras surged.
The Cycle Gate faintly appeared...
Everyone's inherited techniques were unleashed.
Xiao Long Nu also took action, attacking one of the Corpse Puppets with True Dragon Unarmed Combat, but she muttered, "I want it..."
"If only we could scatter them with a single blow!"
It's worth mentioning that this time, Xiao Long Nu didn't bring out the Sky Observing Mirror.
Not that she didn't want to, but she couldn't.
After all, this was Zhongzhou, too powerful and chaotic.
In the Eight Domains, Mu Hua could be certain that no one would dare to cause trouble, but in Zhongzhou, it was hard to say.
Especially with that group of 'madmen' around, she didn't dare take the risk! If the Sky Observing Mirror was lost, the problem would be huge.
She had to be cautious.
······
When they all attacked according to the plan and with preparation, the battle situation instantly reversed!
Three of the Corpse Puppets had to turn around to face Xiao Ling'er and the others.
And seeing that only one of the Corpse Puppets that had troubled Long Ao Jiao remained, Long Ao Jiao became excited and roared.
"This young lady wants you..."
"Die!"
Her eyes flashed with killing intent as she stared at this Corpse Puppet and unleashed her attacks, determined to tear it apart.
However...
For a moment, it was difficult to see any results.
And when everyone's attacks reached their peak, the Corpse Puppet finally showed signs of trouble, constantly trembling, even its shield was shaking.
As if it might shatter at any moment.
"It's almost at its limit."
Xiao Ling'er keenly sensed the problem, her eyes narrowed.
"San Ye!"
"Okay."
San Ye responded.
Its voice was somewhat youthful, but its strength was extremely formidable.
"Sword Twenty-Three!"
In an instant, the four Corpse Puppets were 'frozen'.
Even the space around them solidified and stagnated.
"One Sword Across Worlds!"
Seizing this opportunity, San Ye waved one of its 'grass leaves' again.
The sword technique, One Sword Across Worlds, unleashed by San Ye, erupted, and it forcefully tore apart the space, breaking the formation set up by the four Corpse Puppets, and swallowing and sealing one of them within!
"Now!"
Xiao Ling'er also took action, summoning the Crystal World, which swallowed and sealed another Corpse Puppet.
"The third one!"
Qin Yu summoned the Eight Immortal Mansion, which swallowed and sealed the third Corpse Puppet, locking it in the dungeon. Although the Corpse Puppet struggled and caused destruction, the Immortal Mansion wasn't just for show, at least for now, it wouldn't be able to break free.
After that, they slowly approached, everyone's gaze fixed on the last Corpse Puppet fighting with Long Ao Jiao.
"Stop!"
Long Ao Jiao's face turned green.
Damn it, trying to show off only to get screwed.
Now that they've taken down three Corpse Puppets, and I haven't even gotten one? Unacceptable!
Don't I have any face?
"It's mine!"
Long Ao Jiao roared and charged forward.
She only felt annoyed and angry.
What she didn't notice was...
Although Xiao Ling Er and the others were a group of Heaven's Pride, and she was alone, she had never cared about the numerical disparity. She only felt that she had lost, and it was humiliating!
In her subconscious, she believed that she was invincible, that she should surpass everyone alone, regardless of how many opponents there were. She should be the strongest, the peerless Heaven's Pride, the number one in the world!
This...
Was Long Ao Jiao.
As she clenched her teeth and launched a frenzied attack, she forced this lone Corpse Puppet to retreat step by step. In the end, it was suppressed by the Corpse Puppet, and she even had to summon the Heaven Subjugating Divine Spear to completely destroy it.
"Stop!"
Xiao Ling Er hurriedly stopped her, "That's enough, I know you're powerful, but this Corpse Puppet might have great use. Let's spare it for now."
"You're wrong about that," Medusa spoke up, "It's already dead, without a life."
Xiao Ling Er: "..."
Long Ao Jiao: "..."
"Hmph!"
Long Ao Jiao coldly huffed, her expression darkening.
This was the first time she had failed to show off in front of everyone. How could she have a good expression?
The anger in her heart had already risen, and she wanted to explode immediately.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling Er quickly signaled San Ye to step forward. The latter, not idle, used the sealing technique of the Soft Sword Law to seal the last Corpse Puppet.
The great battle finally came to a complete halt.
For a moment, Medusa Queen was somewhat dazed, saying, "It's... really happened."
"Our various clans and countless lives have been trapped in this small world. Our ancestors have tried countless times, paying almost any price, but the result has always been failure. I never imagined..."
She was shocked, and at the same time, she felt an extraordinary sense of fear.
These outsiders had achieved this in such a short time.
It was truly...
A huge gap.
At the same time, a strong sense of crisis spread in her heart.
"Fortunately..."
"I chose to agree."
Regret!
Although she was aloof, Medusa Queen was no fool.
She knew what the consequences would be if she hadn't agreed to Xiao Ling Er's request. That would have been truly fatal!
Especially after witnessing the strength of the Moon Holding Sect's members, she became even more aware of the vast gap between the two sides.
She couldn't win, truly couldn't win.
Only through cooperation was there a glimmer of hope.
...
Sensing her unease, Xiao Ling Er gently soothed, "You can't compare like this."
"This world is too small, it can't even be called a world. It's just a tomb, a mystic realm."
"Resources are scarce, everything is lacking. To have grown to this extent, you've already done very well."
"But how vast is the Immortal Martial Continent, and how abundant are its resources?"
"The population is countless, and among so many people, there will always be some who are extraordinary, far surpassing ordinary people. To speak frankly, we..."
"Perhaps among countless billions, only a few of us young people can appear, and how many lives are there in this mystic realm?"
"I understand the logic," Medusa Queen nodded slightly, "I'm just a bit dazed."
"After all, my clan has been here for who knows how many years."
"Enough."
She shook her head lightly, casting aside these negative emotions, "Let's continue."
"Open the restrictions and barriers, and take away the true wealth of this ancient Celestial, or rather, the burial goods."
"I'll do it."
Long Ao Jiao's face was dark.
At this moment, she needed to vent her anger.
"Break it for me!"
Long Ao Jiao, wielding the Heaven Subjugating Divine Spear, launched a frenzied attack, directly smashing it!
Only by doing so could she vent her anger.
She thought it would be difficult, but to her surprise, she succeeded.
She didn't even exert much effort, and in a short time, she blasted open the barrier.
"So easy?"
Medusa Queen was astonished, but soon realized, "That's right, my clan's ancestors never truly attacked the barrier. Every time, they were stopped by the Four Great Corpse Puppets, and never had a chance to touch the barrier."
"So, no one knows the strength of the barrier."
Xu Feng Lai analyzed from another perspective, "Perhaps, the Celestial, before his death, thought it through. If even these four Corpse Puppets couldn't stop him, then no matter how strong the barrier was, it would be useless?"
"That's also possible," Medusa Queen nodded.
At the same time, they cautiously approached the not-so-large Celestial's coffin.
Everyone was extremely careful.
This old fellow, who even left behind four such powerful Corpse Puppets, couldn't be underestimated.
Who knew if he had any more tricks up his sleeve?
The coffin wasn't large.
It was only one-third larger than a regular coffin.
For such a powerful cultivator, it was indeed simple.
Even the tomb chamber was less than ten square meters.
There were no epitaphs, no murals, everything was extremely simple, to the point of being bare.
However, the coffin was entirely bronze-colored, and a peculiar lawful power surrounded it.
Thus, despite its seemingly ordinary appearance, no one dared to underestimate it.
"I'll do it."
The barrier was too fragile, and Long Ao Jiao hadn't properly vented her anger. With her heart still burning with rage, she carried the Heaven Subjugating Divine Spear and began to pry open the coffin.
Creak!
The ancient bronze coffin, which had been sealed for who knows how many years, was opened.
Medusa Queen eagerly watched.
It wasn't to seize treasures, but to see what was inside the coffin that her clan had accompanied for generations.
What was it that had trapped the countless lives in this tomb for so many years?
"..."
The coffin was opened.
The peculiar lawful power became even more intense, almost overwhelming.
"Rise!"
Long Ao Jiao shouted, and with a mighty heave, she pried open the coffin lid.
Boom!
The crowd focused their attention, bracing for the anticipated danger.
Fortunately, the imagined peril did not materialize.
Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the coffin was empty, containing only a shield.
The shield, neither gold nor copper, was unremarkable in appearance, devoid of any patterns, and as smooth as an iron plate. It seemed like an ordinary, unremarkable object.
But...
The lawful power that had enveloped the coffin emanated from it.
"The Heavenly Shield?" Huo Yun Er exclaimed in surprise.
"Is this the Heavenly Shield?" Xiao Ling Er nodded slightly and whispered, "It's indeed peculiar; one can tell at a glance..."
"..." Medusa frowned, "I'm not so sure anymore."
"Aside from this peculiar and incomprehensible lawful power, there's nothing extraordinary about it."
"Clearly, this lawful power is its most intriguing aspect. Moreover, it's evident that the Heavenly Person was skilled in crafting, or perhaps preferred shield-type treasures."
Xiao Ling Er analyzed, "All four Corpse Puppets have shields, and this coffin contains only this one shield."
"Who cares what it is? Let's take it all!" Long Ao Jiao huffed, "By the way, where's the body?"
"There's nothing in the coffin except for the shield. Could there be another coffin?"
"It's probably gone."
Xu Feng Lai shook his head, "Earlier, we communicated that we had almost searched the entire mystic realm separately, and we didn't find anything unusual."
"Then..."
Shi Hao tilted his head, "Feigning death?"
"What's the point?" Long Ao Jiao frowned, "Feigning death just to leave this thing behind?"
"Toying with us?"
"This..." Shi Hao wasn't sure how to respond.
It was indeed confusing.
"Whether dead or alive, real or fake, it doesn't matter," Wang Teng shook his head, "We opened the tomb, took the items, and we're not at a loss!"
"We're not at a loss," Xu Feng Lai muttered, "But I feel like this thing has ill intentions. Before entering, many cultivators from the Central Province died."
"Wang Teng is right," Long Ao Jiao waved her hand, "Why bother with all that?"
"Take the items and leave!"
She reached out to grab the Heavenly Shield, but the moment she touched it, her expression changed, and she was blasted back instantly.
"Huh?!"
"This shield... there's something wrong with it!"
Long Ao Jiao whispered.
The crowd remained silent, but Long Ao Jiao's reaction made it clear to everyone that the shield was amiss.
"What's wrong with it?"
"I can't say for sure. If you're interested, you can try it yourself." Long Ao Jiao extended her hand.
Xiao Ling Er: "..."
"Then I'll give it a try?"
She approached, reached out to touch it, but her reaction was identical to Long Ao Jiao's. Like an ordinary person getting electrocuted, she shuddered and was 'repelled' instantly.
All the junior brothers and sisters looked at her.
Xiao Ling Er scratched her head, "I can't say for sure either."
"It's as if it's resisting, and the force of resistance is incredibly strong, forcing us to retreat."
"Moreover, this force is hard to describe. It's not a conventional force but more like..."
"Law."
"Yes, lawful power!"
"But this lawful power is extremely peculiar, and I don't know what law it is."
"Lawful power?"
The crowd understood.
After all, the shield had been emitting peculiar lawful power, and having this 'effect' wasn't unusual.
"What should we do?"
Huo Yun Er frowned, "We can't just leave, can we?"
"Let's all try," Xiao Ling Er said, "Perhaps this treasure is waiting for its destined owner. Let's all give it a shot. If none of us can do it, we'll use all our methods and try every means."
"If it's truly impossible, we can only give up for now."
"After all, our mission is to attend the Heaven's Pride Conference in the Central Province, and we can't afford to delay."
"Okay, let's all try."
Everyone agreed with Xiao Ling Er's arrangement and stepped forward to give it a shot.
However, the results were largely the same. Almost everyone was 'repelled' upon contact, even those who unleashed their full strength and power.
Soon, it was Shi Hao's turn.
He grimaced, "If none of the senior brothers and sisters can do it, I probably can't either, right?"
"But..."
"I have to try."
He gritted his teeth, unleashed his full strength and power, and his blood qi surged as the cave heaven appeared behind him.
Then, he pounced on the coffin, stood with his feet on either side, bent down, and tightly hugged the shield.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The reverberating sound echoed.
Shi Hao wasn't immediately pushed away. Instead, his face turned red, his teeth clenched, and he exerted all his strength, "Get up...!!!"
Creak!
The shield rose slightly in his embrace, slowly lifting higher.
"Amazing!" Ya Ya exclaimed.
"Junior Brother, you're awesome!" Wang Teng gave a thumbs up.
"Did you succeed?" Jiang Li and the others revealed delighted expressions.
But Long Ao Jiao's face darkened, "Hmph, it's not that simple. I was just careless earlier. If I put in my full effort, I could resist it for some time. But to take it away, how could it be this easy?"
"You crow's beak," Huo Yun Er mocked.
But at that moment...
Boom!
Shi Hao was blasted away, colliding with the tomb's wall, and he grimaced. The shield descended again, resting quietly in the coffin.
"This?!"
Ya Ya's expression changed.
She had read 'Perfect,' and even Shi Hao couldn't take it away?
This shield was too overpowered!
"What was I saying?" Long Ao Jiao shook her head, her expression improving.
If no one could lift it, there was no problem.
But if someone could take it, and she couldn't? That was unacceptable!
