Chapter 92: Fighting Together
"What a creep!" A soft voice floated in the air when the cave stopped shaking.
Wang Xue’er, the Corpse Yin sect cultivator, and the other female cultivator looked towards the entrance.
"Who are you?" The evil cultivator was the first to react.
"Your executioner." Jiang Yue said.
His nose wrinkled in distaste, and he couldn’t hide his dislike for the evil cultivator.
After hiding at the entrance for more than a day, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue concluded there was only one culprit within the cave.
However, they couldn’t be reckless.
After all, they weren’t friends with the two girls that had been abducted into the cave.
Because of this, they chose to sneak into the cave and observe the situation before taking action.
However, they couldn’t have imagined the situation inside the cave.
On one side, Jiang Yue saw five women.
The five women were undoubtedly dead, but a kind of cold qi was circulating within their bodies.
Having never encountered corpse qi before, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen didn’t quite understand the situation.
However, after careful observation of the bodies, they finally realised what was going on.
In their past or current life, neither Yu Nianzhen nor Jiang Yue was the righteous kind.
They donated to charity but never went out of their way to do good things or uphold justice.
However, some things couldn’t be tolerated.
As soon as they knew what the evil cultivator from the Corpse Yin sect was up to, they knew they couldn’t ignore the matter.
It was just one of those things that were so vile that any cultivator with a trace of morality couldn’t ignore.
Also, there was a strange feeling that came over them as soon as they saw the five female corpses.
The feeling was vague, but it urged them to do something about the situation.
Because of this feeling and their morality, the two decided to intervene to save the two women.
It was just when they decided to help when they saw that the white-clothed female cultivator was about to explode her dantian.
If she did so in such a cave, nobody, including the two, could survive.
In urgency, Jiang Yue threw a low-grade silver rank thunder seed outside the cave.
Although it was only a low-grade seed, the thunder seed was powerful, and it blasted a hole outside, which made the cave shake wildly.
By doing this, Jiang Yue hoped to distract everyone.
As long as the woman was distracted even for a breath, the pressure she had built in her dantian would dissipate.
At the same time the thunder seed went off, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue deactivated their invisibility talismans and made their presence known.
"I have no use for males. Leave right now."
"We didn’t need your permission to come in, why do we need it to leave?" Jiang Yue sneered.
"There is no need to talk nonsense with him."
Yu Nianzhen released his sword and swung it toward the evil sect cultivator.
A sword light rushed ahead, but the evil cultivator reacted fast.
He swung his right hand, and a coffin appeared in the air infront of him.
When the sword light struck the coffin, a light ’clang’ was heard, and the sword light dissipated.
"If you don’t want to leave, then stay."
After the evil cultivator said this, his eyes dimmed and looked frozen.
His coffin swung wide open, and terrible screaming was heard from within.
Grey-white smoke began to spread from the coffin, and the air turned cold.
"Don’t let it touch you, it’s corpse qi." Wang Xue’er warned.
When the explosion happened, she was not the only one who was distracted.
The evil cultivator was also distracted, which allowed Wang Xue’er to overcome the suppression of her qi.
At the moment, she was trying to circulate her qi to heal her body as much as she could.
However, there was not much she could do without healing pills.
"Corpse qi..."
Jiang Yue was thoughtful for a moment.
Corpse qi was a kind of yin qi.
If that was the case, the way to defeat it was by using yang qi.
However, Jiang Yue’s origin was of the water element, which belonged to yin.
On the other hand, Yu Nianzhen’s sword origin was of the metal element, which was a lesser yin that could be either yin or yang.
Unfortunately, Yu Nianzhen had only cultivated for a short time and couldn’t control the inherent nature of his sword light.
Because of this, it was difficult for Yu Nianzhen to deal with the corpse qi easily using just his cultivation.
’Fire talisman.’ Jiang Yue recalled.
After thinking that, he didn’t waste any time.
He removed a talisman from his storage ring and threw it in the air after injecting a strand of qi.
Soon after, a fire appeared in the air and spread throughout the cave.
When the fire went out, the cave that had begun to turn white due to corpse qi was back to normal.
"Righteous dog."
The evil cultivator was infuriated.
When he fought, he usually spread his corpse qi to the surroundings to infect his opponents.
If the enemies couldn’t expel the corpse qi from their bodies within a certain time, their qi would become infected and turn into corpse qi.
However, corpse qi was highly corrosive.
Without the secret cultivation method of the Corpse Yin sect, it was impossible to survive with corpse qi in the body.
When the enemies died, the evil cultivator would recall his corpse qi into the coffin.
Additionally, he would take the new corpse qi from the death of his enemy to strengthen his cultivation.
"I could have let you go." He shouted, and his eyes froze further.
"I never had the intention to let you go." Jiang Yue sneered, and a whip appeared in his hand.
At the same time, Yu Nianzhen moved.
A moment later, he appeared at the evil cultivator’s right side and swung his sword.
However, the evil cultivator was also an elite.
He reacted quickly and jumped to the side.
Unfortunately, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue had a tacit understanding.
As soon as one attacked, the other knew they should follow up.
After all, this was not a fight for honour.
This was a fight to eliminate an enemy.
Although either could defeat the enemy in a one-on-one fight, it was quicker if they did it together.
Also, neither was willing to give up on this enemy.
They both wanted a piece of him, especially when they thought of the five corpses in the cave.
When the evil cultivator landed, a whip landed on him.
He tried to block it with his coffin, but his reaction speed was too slow.
While Jiang Yue attacked, Yu Nianzhen was not idle.
He withdrew another fire talisman and quickly approached the evil cultivator.
When the cultivator turned to face him, Yu Nianzhen threw the fire talisman into the coffin.
In one moment, everything was normal.
However, hell broke loose in the next moment.
As soon as the fire talisman entered the coffin, a loud screech reverberated in the cave.
The screech was like nothing Yu Nianzhen had ever heard.
’Is it the residual souls of the women and their babies?’ He wondered.
However, he didn’t have time to dwell on it.
The screams invaded his body, and two lines of blood escaped from both his ears.
Even after the screaming ended, Yu Nianzhen couldn’t hear a thing.
His head felt dizzy, and his vision was blurry.
In worry, he looked at Jiang Yue and saw that the other was in a similar state.
He looked disoriented but otherwise unharmed.
However, the same couldn’t be said for Wang Xue’er and the other woman.
Both were originally injured, and the screech did not help their situation.
At the moment, both had lost consciousness, and their bodies had fallen to the ground.
’We have to end this quickly.’ Yu Nianzhen thought as he looked at the white-clothed female.
He didn’t know her, but she knew him.
When he escaped from Clear Water Lake, he decided he would talk to her when they met next.
Now that they met, this situation could be considered a kind of fate.
As such, it was best to save her and listen to what she wanted to talk about.
After thinking that, Yu Nianzhen looked at the evil sect cultivator.
"Azhen, let’s end this quickly." Jiang Yue called from the other side.
"Good."
A moment later, two figures shot out like a comet.
One was on the right, and the other was on the left.
One held a blue whip, and the other held a black sword.
When they were close enough to the evil cultivator, the whip shot out.
The speed was so fast that the cultivator barely had time to react.
Even though he managed to block some of the whip’s power, he was still sent flying toward the sword.
Helpless and unable to resist, the evil cultivator watched in horror as the sword pierced his chest.
