Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

Chapter 471: Chapter 400: Gourd Stone

A black corpse lunged forward, its mouth dripping pale yellow saliva, and the red glow in its eye sockets blazed fiercely.

It could smell the fragrance of flesh and blood from the enemy in front of it, a scent distinct from other cultivators.

Not only was it more delicious, but there were also additional benefits to be gained.

Another black corpse unleashed the Earth Escape Technique, its body swiftly submerged into the ground, preparing to attack from beneath.

They had been nurtured by the Earth Evil Sect for seven or eight hundred years, now possessing considerable spirituality and understanding of some tactical cooperation.

Ji An did not move, the Wuji Xinghuang Banner swirling with golden flowers, as he activated the Geng Metal Spirit-Slaying Sword the moment the corpse lunged at him.

From the very beginning, his goal was clear: to eliminate the only remaining cultivator, while using top-grade spiritual artifacts and defense magic to withstand the black corpse’s attack.

Through repeated combat tests, as long as the enemy’s attack didn’t reach the Golden Core Level, he could rest easy.

Sang You was also waiting for an opportunity. He was secretly pleased to see the enemy recklessly not dodging.

He knew full well how strong the black corpse’s abilities were, capable of suppressing body cultivators at the Chao Origin Stage.

Especially the black corpse that originally belonged to Sangji, just one step away from advancing to the Copper Corpse level, even body cultivators at the Chao Origin Stage Perfection couldn’t match it.

’The enemy is arrogant!’

Sang You saw a pair of black hands emerging from the ground and immediately activated the Bone-Eroding Soul Shuttle, attacking the enemy in a triangular formation.

With frontal, ground attacks from the black corpses, the enemy could only dodge to the sides or sky.

But his Bone-Eroding Soul Shuttle completely blocked all escape routes for the enemy.

His eyes flashed with vicious delight as he witnessed the earth-element brilliance erupting from the enemy’s spiritual artifact, which was excellent at breaking spiritual shields!

The Bone-Eroding Soul Shuttle was refined using the White Bone Righteous Method of the Sect, containing potent corpse poison. A mere touch would dissolve bone and rot flesh.

Moreover, it could emit spirit soul type toxins; if a cultivator got contaminated, they’d feel dizzy and impaired in spell casting, or even faint directly, with low-tier cultivators poisoned to death outright.

Sang You’s heart surged with excitement, whether the enemy dodged or not, victory seemed assured.

What he didn’t know was that a silver light was activated the moment the Bone-Eroding Soul Shuttle flew out, traveling just outside his visual range.

The black corpse before him had little effect in delaying, as the Geng Metal Spirit-Slaying Sword pierced through it, demonstrating the sharp and forbidding nature of the metal element technique.

The next moment, fatal silver brilliance shot into Sang You’s eye sockets, drilled out from the back of his head, continuing for several dozen feet before slowly fading away.

Sang You needn’t worry about the future anymore—all troubles left him, but Ji An still had many challenges to face.

The attacks from the two black corpses were already upon him. He fully activated the Wuji Xinghuang Banner, and all the spiritual power stored within the spiritual artifact erupted instantly.

Above his head, a fire cloud transformed into a phoenix bird, its fierce cry reverberating through the night sky.

The phoenix bird radiated scorching brilliance, swooping toward the black corpse lunging at him.

In the sky, Han Yan unleashed an attack, the Sun-Swallowing Bead spewing a jet of crimson gold fire towards the black corpse lunging at the junior brother.

Ji An no longer concerned himself with the frontal attack, as the underground assault had arrived, and the defense of the Xinghuang Banner was relatively weak against subterranean threats.

The black corpse broke through the spiritual artifact’s defenses, its hand grasping the target’s ankle, capable of crushing bones with little effort—or so it thought.

Ji An held his breath, seeing the enormous head of the black corpse, comparable to a large watermelon, emerging from the ground. He saw the disgusting mucus flowing from its mouth and a chilling aura exhaled from its nostrils.

He activated the Geng Metal Spirit-Slaying Sword, silver brilliance sweeping out, sending the black corpse’s head soaring into the sky.

Elsewhere, the black corpse lunging from the front was hit in succession by two fire element attacks, its flame-resistant skin immediately sensing pain.

The tremendous explosive force directly obstructed its forward momentum and blasted it several feet backward.

With Sang You’s restraint gone, the two black corpses beside him became wild, rushing straight towards Ji An.

The fragrance within the enemy cultivator’s flesh had long made them drool with desire.

Han Yan’s Defense Puppet descended from the sky, with the gorilla’s body enlarged, heavily smashing down onto the black corpses’ charging path.

Ji An’s hand formed a Dharma Seal, activating the Earth-to-Steel Technique, yellow spirit light rapidly spreading from beneath his feet.

The originally soft ground immediately hardened like iron, and now was the time to deal with the several black corpses.

These uncontrolled black corpses were left with only their bloodthirsty instincts.

The defenses they prided themselves on were no different from being paper-thin before the Geng Metal Spirit-Slaying Sword.

...

The battle ended swiftly, with severed limbs scattered everywhere.

The beast-taming companions like Golden Fur returned to their owner, and Dahuang let out a timid growl at the fallen corpse pieces.

"The Earth Evil Sect’s zombies are worthless to us."

Ji An’s mouth twitched, as the corpse bones of zombies were too toxic to be used.

The spiritual artifacts refined with white bone in the Southern Continent wouldn’t even be accepted in the black market.

Han Yan’s heartbeat gradually calmed down; this ambush was sudden and ended quickly, lasting only half an hour.

She originally thought she’d have to reveal her trump card to escape, never expecting her junior brother to perform so valiantly.

At this moment, she completely forgot about his identity as a Spirit Farmer.
