Chapter 455: Yin Sha Ghost Fire
Chapter 455: Yin Sha Ghost Fire
"We can't take out any more treasures from this place. It's highly likely that this Corpse King is the reincarnation of Xuan Gui Shangren."
Wu Changdong exclaimed in surprise.
Shi Jing's expression turned extremely ugly.
Everyone looked at the green-haired monster in the distance.
Finally, they understood why this Corpse King had reached the late Nascent Soul stage.
Although it was impossible for the Corpse King to have inherited Xuan Gui Shangren's cultivation, even if it was Xuan Gui Shangren's reincarnation after death.
In this place filled with thick yin sha qi, cultivating for tens of thousands of years would still be enough to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage.
"This shield feels familiar. It should be something I used in the past."
Just as everyone was thinking about this, the Corpse King suddenly spoke in a human language.
The next moment, the sharp fangs at the corners of its mouth emitted a cold light, and it let out a series of roars.
"How dare you try to take my treasures! Damn you, you deserve to die!"
As its words landed, the Corpse King pounced towards them.
Although everyone was greatly surprised that the Corpse King had consciousness, their reactions were quick.
As they dodged, several magical treasures were unleashed.
Chu Ning was a step slower compared to the others in unleashing his treasure.
During the previous clash, he had realized that although the main treasures of the few mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivators were extraordinary.
Their offensive power, especially their sharpness, was insufficient to harm the green-haired Corpse King.
Since that was the case, his Five Elements Spirit Sword would have to play a bigger role and wait for a better opportunity to strike.
However, the green-haired Corpse King was not fighting in the same way as before.
Just as everyone's treasures were about to strike, it did not act immediately.
It waited until the various treasures were about to hit its body, and then the black fingernails on its fingertips shot out again.
But instead of aiming at the group's treasures, it attacked each of the cultivators.
At the same time, its arms waved continuously.
The right hand, holding the shield, swept towards several treasures, while the left hand also swept towards Luo Yuqiao's seven-colored treasure pearl.
"Fellow daoists, distract the shield and entangle it!"
Chu Ning, who was waiting for an opportunity, immediately reminded them, and at the same time, the flying Five Elements Spirit Sword suddenly accelerated and slashed towards its left arm!
The other cultivators' treasures were blocked by the Corpse King's turtle shell shield.
Moreover, the black fingernails it had shot out were already about to reach them, and they were just about to withdraw their treasures to defend themselves.
Hearing Chu Ning's words, they immediately activated their defensive shields and dodged while pinching their treasure-controlling techniques to attack again.
Huang Zongkun's golden ruler, Shi Jing's silver hammer, Wu Changdong's thunder attribute treasure, and Shen Tuping's armguards all attacked together!
The Corpse King naturally sensed Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword slashing towards it.
However, facing the attacks of so many treasures, it chose to use its shield to block everyone else's treasures.
And just as the Five Elements Spirit Sword was about to strike, it had just swept away Luo Yuqiao's left arm and immediately welcomed it.
The green hair on its arm stood up like steel wires, forming a layer of armor-like defense.
But what it was facing was Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword!
The Five Elements Spirit Sword, refined from black mysterious gold, was extremely sharp. Moreover, not long ago, Chu Ning had just engraved an ancient talismanic spirit array on it.
Its power had increased even further.
Even this ten-thousand-year-old Corpse King could not easily withstand it.
The Five Elements Spirit Sword easily cut through the steel wire-like green hair, quickly exposing the black-green skin on its arm.
And at this moment, the Five Elements Spirit Sword directly slashed onto the black-green arm without any hindrance!
"!!"
At this moment, the Corpse King finally seemed to realize something was wrong, and it let out an angry roar.
It wanted to use the turtle shell shield in its right hand to knock away Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword, but it was too late.
The five-colored giant sword slashed down, cutting into the black-green arm that was like steel and iron.
The next moment, the Corpse King's left arm was directly cut into two pieces.
The forearm and below were directly chopped off and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Wu Changdong, Shen Tuping, and Luo Yuqiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, the sharp black fingernails that the Corpse King had shot out from its left arm had almost pierced their defenses.
At this moment, with the Corpse King's left arm cut off, several black fingernails fell to the ground.
Shi Jing and Huang Zongkun were not so lucky, but seeing Chu Ning's sword cut off the Corpse King's arm, they were greatly encouraged.
The two of them used their defensive means to block the two sharp black fingernails.
At the same time, everyone looked at the Corpse King, which was letting out an angry roar.
However, they saw that after the Corpse King saw that Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword had cut off its arm, it still slashed towards him, and a faint green glow flashed in its empty eye sockets.
The shield in its right hand also directly swept towards the Five Elements Spirit Sword.
Seeing this, Chu Ning's mind moved, and the Five Elements giant sword split into two.
A four-colored giant sword clashed with the turtle shell shield, and a fiery red spirit sword suddenly shot out from the giant sword.
Then, everyone vaguely heard a clear whistling sound.
Then, a dazzling red light flashed and, at an extremely tricky angle, slashed towards the Corpse King's right arm.
This undoubtedly allowed Chu Ning's Fire Spirit Sword to demonstrate its full offensive power.
And so, a scene that amazed the five Mid Nascent Soul stage cultivators unfolded.
After the red streak of light faded, the Corpse King's right arm, covered in green hair, was also sliced off at the shoulder!
"Bang!"
Accompanied by a dull thud, the turtle shell shield also fell heavily to the ground.
Infused with the essence of a 10th-grade Fiery Yang Spirit Bird, the Fire Spirit Sword proved too powerful for even a ten-thousand-year-old Corpse King to withstand when caught off guard.
"Fellow cultivators, attack!"
Chu Ning was delighted to see that his Five Elements Spirit Sword was so effective that it had severed the Corpse King's arms with consecutive strikes.
While manipulating the sword with his spells, he shouted to the others, urging them to join the assault.
The five cultivators were all experienced Mid Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and their reactions were swift.
Their five treasures attacked the ten-thousand-year-old Corpse King simultaneously.
Without its turtle shell shield, sharp claws, and arms to block, the Corpse King roared as it flew into the air, kicking at the incoming treasures.
However, the Corpse King's legs were not as agile as its arms.
It barely blocked two of the treasures, and the other three struck its body.
The Corpse King was knocked back and crashed to the ground.
The group had managed to injure the Corpse King for the first time, and their faces lit up with joy.
But the next moment, something surprising happened. The armless Corpse King stood up straight.
And strangely, its green-haired body showed no signs of damage.
"Die!"
The Corpse King roared and lunged at the group.
Despite its lack of arms, no one dared to underestimate it.
"Chu Fellow Cultivator! Use your flying sword!"
At this moment, Wu Changdong exclaimed in surprise.
He had witnessed the might of Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword when they faced the Demon Path cultivators before.
And just now, he saw Chu Ning's sword sever the Corpse King's arms, so he immediately shouted.
In fact, Chu Ning's reaction was even faster.
As the Corpse King lunged forward, Chu Ning manipulated his sword with his spells, and the Five Elements Spirit Sword transformed into a five-colored streak of light, slashing at the enemy!
This time, Chu Ning aimed at the Corpse King's head.
However, the ten-thousand-year-old Corpse King seemed to have learned its lesson about the power of Chu Ning's sword.
It lunged forward, dodging the sword aimed at its head, but the Five Elements Spirit Sword still landed on its back.
The five-colored glow intertwined with the dark green light, and everyone was astonished by what happened next.
The Five Elements Spirit Sword, which had just sliced off the Corpse King's arms, seemed to lose its effect when it struck the Corpse King's back.
Suddenly, the Corpse King's body ignited with black-green flames, forming a fiery shield.
The Five Elements Spirit Sword was bounced back, and the Corpse King continued its charge toward Chu Ning.
"What formidable defense!
This seems to be the Yin Sha Ghost Fire, ranked twelfth on the Heavenly Spirit Fires Ranking!"
Even Chu Ning was shocked at this turn of events.
The ten-thousand-year-old Corpse King had taken a full-powered strike from his Five Elements Spirit Sword with its back, yet it remained unharmed.
Moreover, the black-green flames covering its body were identical to the Yin Sha Ghost Fire he had seen on the Heavenly Spirit Fires Ranking.
The other five cultivators were equally surprised, and they immediately unleashed their treasures again.
However, protected by the shield of Yin Sha Ghost Fire, the Corpse King was not knocked back this time.
The various treasures were deflected, and the Corpse King's body only swayed slightly in the air before continuing its charge, enveloped in black-green flames.
But this brief moment was enough for Chu Ning to react.
He dodged into the void, and with a flick of his finger, a frost flower with red and blue petals appeared, blocking the charging Corpse King.
The Corpse King hesitated for a moment, sensing something amiss, but it was too late. The Mystical Ice Flame touched it, and it froze into an ice sculpture.
At the same time, Chu Ning's mind stirred, and a red flame appeared within the ice sculpture.
But the next moment, what he saw within the ice sculpture made his expression turn serious.
The ice sculpture of the Corpse King suddenly lit up with black-green flames, countering the red flames of Chu Ning's Mystical Ice Flame.
For a moment, Chu Ning's Mystical Ice Flame seemed powerless against the ten-thousand-year-old Corpse King.
"Mystical Ice Flame! Yin Sha Ghost Fire!" Huang Zongkun exclaimed, recognizing these two Heavenly Spirit Fires.
