"These evil corpses can actually get stronger?"
Sensing the surge in the aura of the evil corpses, Mu Tian and the others' expressions changed again.
At the same time, they became even more convinced that this evil cultivator hiding in the shadows must be a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
Otherwise, even a heretical cultivator at the peak of the Innate Realm would find it extremely difficult to set up such a powerful evil array.
Seeing that the aura of the evil corpse was still increasing, Mu Tian knew that this could not continue.
He decided to strike first, unleashing a powerful sword aura that slashed at the head of one of the evil corpses.
But the next moment, a crisp sound made his face turn ugly.
As his sword energy struck the evil corpse's head, it produced a sound like steel clashing.
Although it could also break through the flesh of the evil corpse, the skull remained completely unharmed and even shattered his sword energy.
The bones of these evil corpses have become harder than refined steel!
Everyone else was equally shocked to see Mu Tian's sword energy shattered.
Mu Tian was already the strongest among them, and even his sword energy had no effect on them, so theirs would be even less effective.
"Gentlemen, there's no other way. Prepare to fight to the death. We have no choice but to engage in close combat."
Seeing this, Mu Tian forced himself to calm down and said in a deep voice.
At the same time, he took out a pill from his pocket, preparing to take it.
These were pills he specially exchanged from the sect when he went down the mountain to train.
After taking it, his spiritual power will enter a berserk state, greatly increasing his strength in a short period of time.
However, once the effects of the medicine wear off, the person will fall into a very weak state, even weaker than a master who has acquired a mastery level.
It takes more than ten days of rest to fully recover.
These are pills that should absolutely not be used unless in a critical situation.
Upon hearing Mu Tian's words, the others also took out their pills.
They had only used sword energy to fight the enemy because they were wary of the corpse poison on the evil corpse.
But now, the sword energy is useless, and the retreat route has been blocked by the evil cultivators' formation, so we have no choice but to fight.
They refused to believe that the heads of these evil corpses could remain so hard against the swords they had enhanced with their spiritual power!
Mu Tian swallowed the pill in one gulp, and with his mental focus, the medicinal power was quickly released.
The next moment, he immediately felt his spiritual energy surge violently, and a powerful force surged out of his body.
Knowing that the effects of the elixir would not last long, Mu Tian did not delay. He immediately brandished his longsword, flew forward, and attacked the evil corpses that were still absorbing black energy.
Seeing this, the others also swallowed the pills and rushed forward.
At this moment, Mu Tian, who had taken the initiative, rushed to a demonic corpse and thrust out his sword.
With the infusion of spiritual energy, the longsword in his hand shone with a sharp light, and its speed reached its limit.
With just one sword strike, he pierced through the head of the evil corpse that the sword energy had previously failed to cut through.
The evil corpse whose head he had pierced immediately shuddered, its black aura gradually dissipating, and it fell backward.
"it works!"
The people following behind were overjoyed to see this.
They all drew their swords and each knocked down one of the evil corpses.
However, at this moment, the evil corpses launched a counterattack.
They brandished their claws and attacked Mu Tian and his group.
Judging from the powerful wind stirred up by its claws, both its strength and speed have greatly increased, reaching the level of the initial stage of the Innate Realm.
The Qiu family village has a large population, and there are at least dozens of evil corpses in the village.
With dozens of evil corpses at the Innate Realm level attacking them, even though Mu Tian and his companions had decent cultivation levels, they felt a significant increase in pressure.
Fortunately, these evil corpses are still inanimate objects. Although their speed and strength have reached the Innate Realm level, their moves are very crude.
So for a time, Mu Tian and his companions were able to hold on and occasionally kill an evil corpse.
However, as the surrounding black aura grew denser, the power of the surrounding evil corpses also increased.
They even began to form alliances, which put increasing pressure on Mu Tian and his group.
Amidst the fierce battle, Lu Qing's side remained completely calm.
Although he didn't exude any aura, inexplicably, not a single evil corpse dared to approach this side.
Unfortunately, Mu Tian and his group didn't have the energy to notice this scene at the moment.
"elder brother."
Xiao Yan also did not follow Zhao Feng and the others forward, but turned to look at Lu Qing.
"Go ahead and do what you want to do."
Lu Qing saw through her thoughts and encouraged her.
"I understand, brother!"
With her brother's permission, Xiao Yan felt reassured. She drew her longsword, moved swiftly, and arrived in front of a demonic corpse, piercing its head with a single strike.
"Junior Sister Xiaoyan, be careful, these evil corpses are not easy to deal with!"
Upon seeing Xiaoyan arrive, Mu Tian and the others moved aside to allow her to blend into their formation.
"The little girl is still hiding her true strength."
Lu Qing smiled when he saw this.
However, he nodded slightly when he saw Mu Tian and the others' performance.
These sect disciples may lack mental fortitude, but their character is acceptable.
At least when facing evil cultivators who are stronger than them, they dare to fight, instead of being intimidated and surrendering directly.
"But... this guy's painstakingly crafted evil corpse, he won't just watch Xiaoyan and the others kill them all, will he?"
Lu Qing's gaze was subtly directed towards a certain direction.
With his strength, the evil cultivator naturally couldn't escape his senses.
He already knew exactly where he was hiding.
However, this is Xiaoyan's training, and he will not intervene unless there is some uncontrollable situation.
Sure enough, Mu Tian and his group slaughtered the evil corpse they had just created as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
The evil cultivators hiding in the shadows finally couldn't sit still any longer.
He had been active in Linzhou recently, intending only to plunder some lowly people in each village, absorb their essence and blood for cultivation.
Before the righteous forces could react, they moved to the next state, not wanting to make a big fuss.
However, a few days ago, he robbed several villagers in Qiujia Village.
However, they inadvertently discovered that the villagers in this village seemed to possess some kind of peculiar bloodline.
After absorbing the essence blood, not only did his cultivation level increase significantly, but his remaining corpse was also very suitable for refining into an evil corpse.
As a heretical cultivator, how could he possibly miss such a golden opportunity to enhance his strength?
Immediately, the evil cultivators set up a corpse-refining array in Qiujia Village.
Not only did it drain the life essence of all the villagers, but it also refined all the corpses into evil corpses.
What he didn't expect was that just after he transformed all the corpses in the village into evil corpses, several righteous disciples came to his door.
Unfortunately, he had just absorbed a large amount of essence and blood, and was now at a critical juncture of breaking through, so he could not directly take action and could only use the evil corpse he had just refined to fight the enemy.
Unexpectedly, these righteous disciples were quite troublesome; even with the evil corpses reinforced by the array, they still couldn't defeat them.
Seeing Mu Tian and the others continuously slaying the evil corpses, the evil cultivators became somewhat anxious.
These evil corpses, imbued with special bloodlines, possess immense potential. If they continue to be lost like this, his losses will be substantial.
"You little brats, stop being so arrogant!"
In his anger, the evil cultivator made a hand seal.
The next moment, the ground shook, and three black coffins burst from the earth and landed on the ground.
