Chapter 491: Powerful Evil Corpses, Corpse Refinement Formation
Chapter 491: Powerful Evil Corpses, Corpse Refinement Formation
"Hehe, who would've thought that after just finishing some desserts, a few more grand feasts would arrive."
"I was just thinking it wasn't quite satisfying, but suddenly, you little lambs appeared."
"It seems it's time for my luck to turn around!"
A cold and eerie voice echoed through the village, but its location was elusive, making it difficult to pinpoint its exact position.
"Who is it?!"
Mu Tian and his group were startled by the voice, which carried an unusually chilling tone, seemingly imbued with a form of mental attack that sent chills down their spines.
"Hehe, if you want to see my true form, you'll have to deal with my little pets first."
The voice continued to echo, its source remaining elusive.
But as the words fell, Mu Tian and his companions witnessed a horrifying sight.
A wisp of black energy drifted by, and on the village path, the dried corpses that were lying haphazardly suddenly began to stir.
Slowly, they rose from the ground, their bodies enveloped in black energy, and they started crawling towards the group.
Their faces were hideous, with long, blackened fingernails resembling claws, like demons.
"Not good, it's the evil Corpse Refinement Art!"
Mu Tian and his companions were terrified by the dreadful scene.
They were certain that these people had been completely dead earlier, with not a trace of life left in them.
But now, the once lifeless corpses were moving and twitching.
There could only be one explanation.
They had encountered an evil cultivator who practiced Corpse Refinement!
In the past, when evil cultivators were rampant, there was one who specialized in Corpse Refinement, controlling dozens and even hundreds of corpses to besiege a small town, slaughtering thousands of its inhabitants and shocking the entire world.
Although that evil cultivator was eventually slain, his Corpse Refinement Art left a deep impression on the sects that participated in his extermination.
The corpses he controlled were exceptionally powerful, no weaker than ordinary cultivators.
"Be careful, everyone! These evil corpses, refined by the evil art, are not only abnormally strong but also as hard as iron. Their claws contain potent toxins, so be sure not to let them scratch you.
Otherwise, if the corpse poison enters your body, even spiritual energy will have a hard time resisting it!"
Mu Tian immediately issued a warning.
Just as he finished speaking, the previously slow-moving corpses suddenly went into a frenzy.
Their speed increased drastically, and in an instant, they pounced towards the group.
The black claws slashed through the air, creating gusts of powerful wind as they lunged towards Mu Tian and his companions.
Their speed was astonishing, not even slower than a fully cultivated Post-Natal Realm Martial Arts Master.
"Attack! Show no mercy, their heads are their weak points!"
Mu Tian roared, and his longsword took the lead, slashing out sword energies that swept towards the dried corpses in front of him.
At the same time, the others joined in the attack.
In an instant, sword energies and powerful gusts of air shot out, all aimed at the surrounding evil corpses.
Following Mu Tian's instructions, most of their attacks were directed at the heads of the evil corpses.
Only Lu Qing remained motionless, standing quietly in his original position without making a move.
Everyone present was at least at the Lesser stage of the Xiantian Realm.
The power of the sword energies was evident, and their control over their strength was equally impressive.
Although the evil corpses were not slow, they were still lifeless and lacked adaptability.
As a result, almost none of the group's attacks missed, and they all struck the corpses, forcing them to retreat completely.
However, as a series of dull thuds echoed, Mu Tian and his companions made a horrifying discovery.
Their sword energies, which slashed at the heads of the evil corpses, did not immediately split their skulls open.
Instead, they left deep wounds that exposed the bone, but they couldn't completely destroy them.
"What?!"
Mu Tian and his companions were shocked. They hadn't expected the skulls of these evil corpses to be so sturdy.
Their sword energies were unable to penetrate them.
The evil corpse, unfazed by pain, shook its head after being struck by the sword energy and let out a fierce roar, charging forward once more.
Mu Tian and the others had no time to be surprised and struck again with their sword energies.
This time, they managed to drive back the evil corpses, leaving numerous wounds on their skulls.
But immediately after, a scene that shocked Mu Tian and the others even more unfolded.
The evil corpses' bodies emanated waves of black Qi.
Wherever this black Qi passed, the wounds they had inflicted with their sword energies rapidly healed.
"So difficult to deal with?" Mu Tian's heart sank at the sight.
These evil corpses were far more formidable than he had anticipated.
Although their strength was still at the Post-Primordial Realm, the hardness of their bodies allowed them to withstand his sword energies, making them truly fearsome.
Moreover, their numbers were overwhelming, and they showed no fear of death.
Even with his backup plan, Mu Tian still found the situation extremely challenging.
The newest little one, who had just spoken, was from the 69 Book Bar, and had just arrived!
What made Mu Tian even more uneasy was the thought of the strength required to create such terrifying creatures. What level of power did the creator possess? Mu Tian's heart was already filled with the intention to retreat.
He immediately spoke, "Everyone, this evil cultivator is bizarre and troublesome. It's best we retreat for now!"
"Good!" Zhao Feng and the others were also startled by the situation before them.
These evil corpses couldn't be killed no matter how hard they tried, but if they were caught, the corpse poison would enter their bodies, causing extreme trouble.
Additionally, there was an unseen evil cultivator nearby, watching them with malicious intent.
So when Mu Tian suggested retreating, they immediately agreed.
They unleashed their power, striking out with numerous sword energies, forcing the evil corpses back, and prepared to leave.
"Trying to escape without asking my permission?" The evil cultivator coldly humphed.
However, he wouldn't let them leave so easily.
A cold light appeared around Qiu Jia Village, accompanied by Fulu, sealing off the entire village.
"Not good, it's a formation!" Mu Tian's face turned pale at the sight.
There was indeed a formation supporting the evil corpses.
"You have some insight, to guess my realm. Since you've figured it out, quickly surrender, or I'll turn you into these lowly creatures!" The cold voice from the darkness sounded surprised, "If you're from a sect, then I'll definitely keep you here!"
"Everyone, we're in real trouble now. The opponent is likely a Foundational Period evil cultivator!" Mu Tian's face turned ashen.
To set up such a large-scale Corpse Refinement Formation, the opponent was likely beyond the Primordial Realm.
Foundational Period! Zhao Feng and the others trembled, their eyes filled with terror.
If the opponent was at the Foundational Period, they might not escape alive.
The strength of the Foundational Period was well-known to them.
After all, their sects had elders of this level.
"Oh, so you've guessed my realm. Are you sect disciples? I'll definitely keep you here!" The dark voice seemed surprised.
He realized that these people before him were not ordinary, likely disciples of a major sect.
His heart hardened, knowing he couldn't continue this game.
Otherwise, if this dragged on, who knew if these juniors had powerful elders nearby.
As the evil cultivator chanted, the black light around them suddenly brightened.
Thick black Qi rose from the ground, flowing into the bodies of the evil corpses.
With this black Qi, the evil corpses seemed to have consumed a powerful tonic, roaring fiercely, and their power surged exponentially!
