Chapter 287: Defeating the Cultivators from the Corpse Yin Sect
"Brother Peng." The remaining disciple of the corpse yin sect cried in alarm.
He was at the third level of the origin tempering and was only second to his senior brother Peng.
However, after seeing Xuan Ke’s previous attacks, he had no confidence to win.
At this moment, he just wanted to escape before Xuan Ke had a chance to attack him.
Unfortunately, his senior brother was enraged.
His brother Peng couldn’t stand the humiliation of his team getting killed by a mere first-level origin tempering realm cultivator.
"I will kill you today or my name isn’t Wang Peng." He roared and a floating coffin appeared in front of him.
When Yu Nianzhen, Jiang Yue, and Xuan Ke saw the coffin, their eyes narrowed.
However, Wang Peng didn’t care about their anger.
He opened the coffin and a terrible wailing came from within.
The sound was like the wailing of a thousand women, mixed in with the cry of a thousand babies.
With the sound, a grey-white smoke came out of the coffin and began to permeate the surroundings.
"Corpse qi." Jiang Yue muttered and his face grew solemn.
The three backed away a few metres and the other disciple of the corpse yin sect gained some courage.
He also removed his coffin and opened it to release corpse qi.
"See how we deal with you." He screamed and his eyes turned red.
"XiaoYue, release your beast fire." Yu Nianzhen reminded.
Unlike when they first faced a cultivator of the corpse yin sect, Jiang Yue now had a beast fire.
The beast fire was a pure yang flame and was the nemesis of the yin corpse qi.
"I know." Jiang Yue said and released the beast fire.
Since he got the beast fire and primordial yin-yang flame, he had seldom had the chance to use them.
Although he couldn’t use the yin-yang flame now, he was happy to use the beast fire.
"Disappear from this world." He roared and the beast fire responded to his emotions.
It became a sea of flames and rushed toward the two coffins.
"The beast fire of a flame tiger." The corpse yin sect disciple muttered as the flames drew closer.
He could feel a horrible yang energy emanating from the flames and his heart became restless.
’I mustn’t let the flames touch me.’ He thought and planned to withdraw his coffin.
Unfortunately, the beast fire was faster than his retreat.
In the blink of an eye, the beast flame had entered the coffin and tortured screams echoed in the surrounding.
"You bastard, you dare to destroy my corpse qi coffin." The disciple screamed angrily.
All the disciples of the corpse yin sect began to refine a corpse qi coffin as soon as they began to cultivate.
This coffin accompanied them all their life and its destruction was very harmful to them.
When he saw his corpse qi coffin being destroyed, the corpse yin sect disciple couldn’t stand still.
He removed a hammer from his storage ring and rushed at Jiang Yue.
His plan was to kill Jiang Yue saw that the beast flames would become ownerless.
At that time, he could take over the beast flames and prevent them from further harming his corpse qi coffin.
Unfortunately, his thoughts were fantastic but the reality was thin.
As soon as the disciple began to move, a sanxian appeared in Jiang Yue’s hand.
Soon after, a series of notes reverberated in the air and the disciple stopped in his tracks.
He then waved his hand and the burning coffin appeared next to him.
"It’s too bad it took two brothers to win against those bastards." He said but a greedy look appeared on his face.
After all, his corpse yin sect was an evil sect.
Things like brotherhood and friendship were unnecessary.
Since the two sect brothers didn’t survive, he and brother Peng would have a bigger share of the spoils of war.
’It would be a good thing if brother Peng also died.’ He thought and immediately acted on his thoughts.
He waved his burning coffin and directed it at his senior brother.
At the same time, he grasped his hammer and rushed toward Wang Peng.
"Junior brother Kang, are you crazy?" Wang Peng roared angrily.
He didn’t dare to use his coffin against his sect mate’s coffin because he was afraid it would also catch fire.
However, Wang Peng could not allow himself to be bullied.
He released an axe and confronted his sect brother.
"Junior brother Kang, wake up right now." He shouted.
Unfortunately, his junior brother was too deep in his illusion and couldn’t perceive the outside world.
All he cared about was killing his senior brother so that he could keep all the spoils to himself.
"Brother Xuan." Jiang Yue called.
"I know." Xuan Ke said and rushed with his staff extended in front of him.
"Eighteen forms staff art, thirteenth form." He said and thrust his staff in a half-moon arc.
Seeing this, Wang Peng tried to evade but some of the attack still landed on his body.
"You..." Wang Peng shouted and retreated backwards.
The staff had hit him in the abdomen and several ribs had cracked.
This kind of injury wasn’t serious at ordinary times but he was currently fighting two cultivators who were only slightly weaker than him.
If he insisted on fighting, he would only fall into a disadvantage and would eventually get killed.
’I have to escape.’ He thought and his eyes filled with malice.
’I will find them again and make them pay for this humiliation.’
Unfortunately, Xuan Ke didn’t plan to give him this chance.
Before Wang Peng could remove and activate a teleportation talisman, Xuan Ke appeared in front of him.
"Eighteen forms staff art, sixteenth form." He said and attacked.
This time, the force of his staff was unstoppable.
Wang Peng was hit by an incredible force, his chest collapsed, and blood spewed out of his mouth.
When this happened, desperation filled his eyes but it was already too late.
Xuan Ke followed the attack and Wang Peng was hit several times before his dead body hit the ground.
"Brother Xuan, your staff art is impressive." Jiang Yue said and looked at Xuan Ke in admiration.
"I still need to practice more." Xuan Ke said and then turned about to finish the remaining enemy who was still caught in an illusion.
"Let’s clean up the battlefield and leave this place." Yu Nianzhen said.
Although he couldn’t detect any auras in the surroundings, he wasn’t assured to stay on the battlefield.
"Brother Xuan, take a moment to rest and we will clean up the battlefield."
"Good."
After saying that, Xuan Ke swallowed a qi replenishing pill while the other two removed the traces of battle.
They first removed the storage rings from the dead bodies and then Jiang Yue burned the bodies using his beast fire.
When that was done, the three left the area and found an empty cave to settle into.
"Brother Xuan, these are the storage rings of those disciples." Jiang Yue said and threw four storage rings.
Xuan Ke grabbed the storage rings but threw two back.
"Brother Jiang and brother Yu also have a share."
"I didn’t do anything." Yu Nianzhen said and didn’t plan to accept a storage ring.
"The enemies didn’t use all their strength because they were on guard against sneak attacks from brother Yu. If that wasn’t the case, I wouldn’t have defeated them so easily."
"Brother Yu can take the storage ring without feeling burdened."
After saying that, Xuan Ke didn’t wait for an answer. He sat cross-legged and continued to replenish his qi.
"You also need to replenish your qi." Yu Nianzhen said.
"Mmmmh. Help me sort out the storage ring." Jiang Yue said and gave the storage rings to Yu Nianzhen before he settled down to cultivate.
While the two were replenishing their qi, Yu Nianzhen began to sift through the storage rings.
As expected, the two storage rings were full of things.
There were enough pills to last one hundred years, talismans, weapons, clothes, spirit stones, and herbs amongst other things.
At this time, Yu Nianzhen sorted everything into three pills.
The first pile was for usable things like spirit stones, pills, talismans, and weapons.
The second was for safe but unusable things. This pile included clothes and other personal necessities.
As for the third pile, it included weapons, skills, and other things belonging to the evil path.
After sorting everything, he put the first pile in one of the storage rings.
The second pile was quickly taken care of using a fire talisman but the third pile was left untouched.
This was not because Yu Nianzhen didn’t want to destroy them but because he couldn’t be careless.
He planned to wait for Jiang Yue and Xuan Ke to exit seclusion before he destroyed the items.
Most importantly, he worried that normal talisman fire wasn’t enough to destroy the evil artefacts.
In that case, they had to be purified or destroyed using one of Jiang Yue’s fires.
