Chapter 316: Chapter 275: Slaying 9 Ancient Battle Corpses
Ten Ancient Battle Corpses represented ten grotesque beings that had reached the Fourth Realm. Each one was exceedingly powerful, not much weaker than that severed hand.
In fact, Xu Qing took a closer look and saw that among the ten dismembered remains plummeting down, one was relatively intact. It was only missing its head, just like the Xingtian of myth and legend.
BOOM!
It slammed into the earth like a meteor falling from the spatial rift. The ground shook and the mountains swayed as if a Level 12 earthquake had struck, and cracks spiderwebbed out in every direction.
The earth shook and the mountains swayed.
It was like a Level 12 earthquake.
When the dust settled,
on the ground
a massive crater had been gouged into the earth. In its center lay a thick, muscular left leg. The severed end was as smooth as a mirror, clearly sliced off by some terrifyingly Sharp Artifact. The powerful leg was wreathed in an eerie, gray mist.
The next moment,
the massive leg’s skin split into countless fissures. All at once, they opened, revealing themselves to be eerie, vertical, pitch-black eyes.
The eyes were countless, densely packed all over the massive leg. Anyone with trypophobia would have gone into shock at the sight.
RUMBLE!
With a deafening crash,
the massive leg stomped the ground. Immense Power erupted, causing the earth beneath it to collapse. The leg then launched itself into the air, rocketing toward Cangzhou Prefecture.
VMM! VMM! VMM!
And
as it flew, the massive leg swelled, expanding constantly. In an instant, it had grown to the terrifying size of a mountain.
ROAR!
At this critical moment,
everyone heard a furious roar and saw the Level 42 Cabbage Flower Snake—as majestic as a mountain range stretched across the Void—spring into action.
Now
at Level 42, the Cabbage Flower Snake was even more enormous, its body stretching thirty thousand meters long. It unleashed its Divine Power, its gigantic tail smashing toward the massive leg.
With a tremendous BOOM, the gigantic tail struck the leg. The clash of their Power produced a phenomenal explosion, and it seemed space itself was about to shatter from the impact.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
ROAR!
The Level 42 Cabbage Flower Snake attacked relentlessly, successfully intercepting the massive leg. The two titans clashed, and it was clear a victor would not be decided anytime soon.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Before long,
a total of nine dismembered remains descended from the heavens. They fell from the spatial rift and hovered above Cangzhou Prefecture, unleashing a terrifyingly grotesque aura.
VMM! VMM!
At the same time,
high in the sky,
the spatial rift was slowly disappearing.
Before long,
space returned to normal. The spatial rift vanished, and with it, the fleeting glimpse of the Ancient Battlefield.
However,
the nine dismembered remains were beginning to reanimate, one after another.
Among them,
one of the nine remains was the most intact, missing only its head—just like the legendary Xingtian.
VMM! VMM!
The next moment,
this most complete corpse was the first to reanimate. A boundless, grotesque energy filled its body. On its chest, a pair of black eyes grew, and its navel warped into a mouth.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"
BOOM! BOOM!
The corpse fully reanimated. A terrifyingly potent killing intent spread out, accompanied by thunderous battle cries, as it charged straight for Cangzhou Prefecture.
VMM!
Then,
the corpse raised its right hand. Its flesh and bone twisted and warped, transforming into a Flesh and Blood Battleaxe that it swung down upon Cangzhou Prefecture.
BOOM!
All of Cangzhou Prefecture shook violently. The Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array trembled under the blow. The terrifying Mighty Power of the axe actually managed to crack the grand array.
"The Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array is cracked!"
"Damn it!"
"This... this..."
"We have to stop it!"
...
Everyone cried out in horror.
CLANG!
In the next instant,
a sword rang out.
Xu Qing took a single step forward, shooting out from Cangzhou Prefecture. He held the Level 40 Wandering Dragon Sword in his right hand, his gaze icy. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed a brilliant Sword Aura.
BOOM!
Xu Qing’s sword strike landed, parrying the corpse’s attack.
"It’s... it’s Master Ouyazi!"
"Excellent!"
"Wonderful! Master Ouyazi has made his move!"
...
The crowd shouted with excitement and exhilaration.
Clearly,
at a time like this,
only Xu Qing could intervene. Cangba Dao and the others were already occupied fighting other Fourth Realm Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits, completely unable to break away.
Besides,
even with their combined strength, Cangba Dao and the others likely couldn’t have stopped all nine Ancient Battle Corpses.
Therefore,
only Xu Qing had the power and skill to turn the tide.
’Huu...’
Xu Qing took a deep breath, his eyes sweeping across the battlefield. The fight between Cangzhou Prefecture and the hordes of Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits had reached a stalemate.
’If these nine corpses charge into the main battle, the impact will be devastating. The entire Cangzhou Prefecture will face a total rout. Its fall will only be a matter of time.’
’So,’
’what I have to do is simple.’
’I just need to eliminate these nine fallen corpses, then exterminate all the Fourth Realm Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits. If I do that, Cangzhou Prefecture will be victorious and won’t fall.’
"Swords, to me!"
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The ringing of swords echoed in all directions.
Xu Qing formed a Sword Pointing gesture with his fingers. The Level 40 Iron Sword, the Level 40 Wandering Dragon Sword, and the Level 40 Copper Coin Sword—three Level 40 Sword Artifacts in total—shot toward the sky.
