Chapter 290: Chaotic Battle on the Mountaintop (3)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Above that was the bronze corpse. Not only did it have a Bright Aperture Stage cultivation, but its entire body was as hard as black iron. Ordinary weapons couldn’t injure it at all!
There were also silver corpses, golden corpses, and the flying yakshas and indestructible bones that the Corpse Sect relied on to deter the East Sea Path!
However, once they reached the Silver Corpse level, only cultivator masters could refine them.
The corpse puppets controlled by the three Corpse Sect disciples were only bronze corpses.
But even so, they were elites carefully selected from the bronze corpses. From the looks of it, their strength was equivalent to an ordinary ninth-level Bright Aperture Stage cultivator.
The six bronze corpses alone suppressed the three disciples of the Flying Cloud Sect.
However, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the three people from the Flying Cloud Sect weren’t using their full strength. Their attention was focused on the golden cage not far away.
Two hundred meters away, three Blood Sea Sect disciples were fighting with seven or eight cultivators.
Although they were the side with fewer people, relying on the many blood souls, they surrounded the opponents, and the latter could barely withstand the attack.
Among these cultivators were Luo Wei and his two friends.
Further away, Yin Xianbin and Guan Zhou were exchanging blows.
However, the two of them were clearly not in the mood to fight. Their commotion was far inferior to the others.
Looking over, there were people fighting everywhere on the mountaintop. More than 20 cultivators were in a chaotic battle.
However, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that although these people were fighting, they hadn’t used their full strength. Most of their attention was on the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit, and they were prepared to snatch it at any time.
However, no one was willing to stand out.
The current situation was very obvious. Everyone was restraining each other. If anyone dared to take the initiative to snatch the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit, they would definitely be jointly attacked by everyone else. Nothing could change that.
If that happened, not only would one have to give up on the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit, but one would also lose their life.
No one was willing to benefit others. Everyone wanted to wait for others to break the balance, so it created a strange stalemate at the moment.
Miao You was very experienced and could tell the key to the current situation at a glance. She turned around and glanced at Lin Shen.
The meaning was obvious. “Are you going to attack now?”
Among the people on the mountaintop, Lin Shen was the only one who could withstand the siege.
Of course, if Miao You’s injuries completely healed, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to obtain the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit.
Lin Shen ignored Miao You’s gaze, and a dark look flashed across his eyes.
If he really attacked, he was indeed confident in snatching the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit.
However, he might have to pay a considerable price for that.
After all, everyone here was a capable cultivator.
The weakest one had five or six meridians.
For example, the Corpse Sect disciples, the Flying Cloud Sect disciples, Yin Xianbin, and Guan Zhou were all experts. They might even have some trump cards.
Lin Shen wasn’t afraid of facing five or six people, but facing the siege of more than 20 people, even he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t be injured.
In comparison, wouldn’t it be better if he could obtain the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit without standing out?
After thinking for a moment, Lin Shen had an idea.
Whoosh!
As Yi Sufeng dealt with her opponent, she kept staring at the golden cage from the corner of her eye. A dark look flashed across her face.
Ever since she escaped that day after her arm was cut off, she found a place to recuperate. It took her five days to regenerate her broken arm and heal her injuries.
Unfortunately, although her injuries had healed, she had lost the storage bracelet along with its contents.
At the thought of this, Yi Sufeng felt awful.
It contained the natural treasures she had accumulated for many years, as well as the Cast Spirit Pills she had snatched by killing others after entering Xuandu Mountain.
Those were all used to condense spirit meridians after the Xuandu Meeting!
But all of them were gone!
Yi Sufeng’s heart ached so much that it was about to bleed.
However, she would never dare to take back the storage bracelet from that person.
The scene of her severed arm was still vivid in her mind. When she thought of the terrifying strength that person had displayed, Yi Sufeng trembled. She was already traumatized.
That wasn’t someone she could deal with at all!
He had already used his only life-saving trump card. If he encountered that person again, it would probably be impossible for him to escape.
After recovering from her injuries, Yi Sufeng immediately left the area where she had met that person. She ran for hundreds of miles before she was relieved.
After that, she didn’t know if good luck came after bad one, but she learned about the appearance of the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit from a cultivator. Therefore, she rushed over anxiously and happened to encounter this chaotic battle.
Under the restraint and fear of each other, no one dared to be the first to attack the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit.
Yi Sufeng was naturally the same.
Her rakshasa demonesses had been killed by that person, and she had only recovered less than 40% of her strength. Not to mention the disciples of the large sects, she didn’t think she could even handle people like Yin Xianbin and Guan Zhou.
She would never dare to be the one to stand out.
In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that she had the intention of reaping the benefits from the fight, she would have left long ago.
Just as Yi Sufeng was thinking about what to do next, she suddenly saw a figure moving from the corner of her eye. She subconsciously turned her head, and her eyes widened.
It was him!
At the same time, everyone on the mountaintop immediately discovered the figure rushing toward the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit.
In the blink of an eye, that person had already rushed to the front of the tree hanging in the golden cage.
Seeing this scene, no one had the time to think about where this person had come from. Without hesitation, they controlled their Dharma treasures or cast spells to attack that person.
In an instant, an overwhelming attack swept forward like a storm!
Just as that person was about to be submerged by everyone’s focus fire, he suddenly disappeared.
Everyone’s attacks missed and landed heavily on the ground.
The attack that gathered everyone’s strength was extremely terrifying. In an instant, the ground within a radius of 100 meters was reduced to devastation. The trees nearby instantly collapsed and shattered, and the golden cage on the treetop was sent flying far away.
It was actually flying toward the place where the Corpse Sect disciples and the Flying Cloud Sect disciples were fighting!
Such a strange scene immediately stunned everyone.
However, when they regained their senses, the disciples of the Corpse Sect and the Flying Cloud Sect immediately stopped fighting and rushed toward the golden cage at the same time.
The others seemed to have woken up from a dream. They also stopped fighting and ran for the golden cage..
