The Corpses of Xia Geng were endless. In the Classic of Mountains and Sea, it was said that although the Corpse of Xia Geng was headless, its soul was immortal. Now, that was honestly the case. No matter how the trio attacked the Corpses of Xia Geng, even if they disintegrated the bones, the moment the remains fell to the ground, they rapidly reformed into the form of a corpse warrior.
Qi Lin noticed that with every Corpse of Xia Geng figure’s reconstruction, their impure qi seemed to strengthen a bit more.
Qi Qi’s omnipotent and domineering strength was unable to make these Corpses of Xia Geng figures feel any fear. These figures had already died millennia ago and were deader than dead, completely lacking any notions or feelings of fear. They knew only to kill, kill, kill. Qi Qi was became even more ruthless, for this was the first time she had encountered such an annoyance.
“What now?” Xue Sha was a bit grim.
There could not possibly be such an abnormal existence in the world. Even if the soul was indestructible and the corporeal body immortal, those necessarily were within a certain set of rules. Even White Emperor Shaohao could not have created an immortal and indestructible corpse soldier without a basis.
A weakness, this mechanism surely had some sort weakness.
Qi Lin racked his brains. In his mind, every detail of the figures from the moment they entered was replayed back like a film.
“Roar!!”
The commander Corpse of Xia Geng’s fiendish qi became a blade and swept over.
“We must go into the spot behind that figure immediately. There’s a passage inside.” Qi Lin noticed that this commander had continued to defend in front of its own figure all this time, always keeping within a certain distance. Associating this with his prior prediction, Qi Lin thought of a simple possibility, this figure itself perhaps exploited Changliu’s fengshui field capabilities to form an array. In this array, these corpse soldiers were completely capable of achieving immortality and indestructibility.
Such an array was not rare at all in Primordial World.
Immortal Execution Sword Array and the Nine Songs Yellow River Array were both capable of striking fear and dread into Immemorial Divine Names; the might of array formations was plainly obvious.
To forcibly break the formation, they would need to find the array eye, but it was very obvious this array eye was perhaps in the center of Changliu and unable to be broken from here. The wisest way was to leave this figure ditch and enter the next level. In doing so, these Corpses of Xia Geng figures would naturally be unable to attack.
“En.”
Qi Qi raised her iron staff and swung it at the commander.
The commander’s figure already dashed away, lifting an intense whirlwind as it leapt towards Qi Qi, completely not giving the group a chance to approach its figurine. The other Corpses of Xia Geng also gathered around, planning to waste their energy.
The commander Corpse of Xia Geng’s giant-like body was simply more swift and more violent than a thunderclap.
In its dash, its turbid qi rolled and surged, baring claw and fang, not losing out to the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven’s Realm at all. It crossed a distance of several dozen zhang in an instant. It subsequently arrived and even thrust that terrible spear.
Because of its speed, the power of the commander Corpse of Xia Geng’s spear thrust could easily reduce even a ten thousand ton boulder to dust. This kind of frightening power was sufficient to leave even a Golden Core cultivator pale in the face, unable to muster the will to fight back. Even some average magic treasures would be unable to contend against its full speed charge.
Just what secret was this Changliu concealing that it actually would make White Emperor Shaohao plan so meticulously.
Mystery Silver Guards, the pill hall, and now the Corpse Of Xia Geng, these were all amazing sights. Qi Lin was unable to imagine just how formidable the Primal Chaos Heavenly Court was back in the day, but the White Emperor that was among the Heavenly Court’s Five Emperors surprisingly had such influence.
Qi Lin had wanted to warn Qi Qi to be careful, but he swallowed back his words. Seeing Qi Qi’s even more excited eyes, he knew his worries were superfluous. To compare in ferocity, the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven would never fear a loser that was killed and turned into a corpse soldier. In life, the commander Corpse Of Xia Geng had used his enormous strength to rip apart countless powerful foes. Even against Qi Qi, who had but smashed him in one hit, he remained confident. It was a pity that the commander was unaware of Qi Qi’s power.
As a corpse soldier, he could not possibly have known.
Qi Qi sneered, meeting this empty show of force with disdain and her staff.
A terrible whistle tore through the air. The pitiful commander of the Corpses of Xia Geng made a bluff of its strength. Its fist surprisingly did not even last an instant against this staff strike before the entire arm was smashed ruthlessly by Qi Qi, producing ash-black dust.
Its giant body was unexpectedly lifted into the air by Qi Qi and thrown far away. At the same time, Qi Qi’s figure suddenly vanished from where it was and reappeared already behind the commander.
The Corpse of Xia Geng figure was completely feelingless. Its other arm pushed its shield towards her.
Bang.
Qi Qi mercilessly stomped on the shield, her foot seemingly as heavy as ten thousand catties of iron. She fiercely pushed down, and the commander Corpse of Xia Geng’s body fell over. Without allowing it any time to react, Qi Qi brandished her staff again.
The staff flared with meteoric fire, like a shooting star, and then she flung the staff.
It rapidly rose into the air, bright as a flaming arrow. Because of its extreme speed, a long trail of afterimages was surprisingly following behind it. The enormous power immediately tore off this commander’s other arm.
Qi Qi then grabbed the commander, which had been thrown into the air. The armless Corpse of Xia Geng could only struggle futilely. The girl beautifully spun in midair, using one hand to again angle this commander’s gigantic body towards the ground. His entire body plummeted like a meteor.
And just like a meteor, it firmly smashed into the ground, blowing several dozen corpse soldiers into smithereens.
When the dust settled, the Corpses of Xia Geng were already reduced to molecules.
Qi Qi emerged from the darkness, those berserk eyes filled with flourishing arrogance.
But it was no use. The instant the Corpses of Xia Geng disintegrated, those pieces of bone began to gather into particles, and the particles into…However, Qi Lin seized this opportunity. “Let’s hurry and get in there.” Qi Lin’s palm slammed away these Corpses of Xia Geng figures. The trio immediately went into the figurine of that commander.
This figurine’s enormity was just like a door, filled with the unknown of the darkness.
Just when they entered, there was surprisingly a hole beneath the figurine; it was none other than the entrance to the lower level, Earth Sacrifice. “Go.” Qi Lin, Xue Sha, and Qi Qi did not hesitate to hurl themselves into the hole. As they entered, they heard the commander already revive, and it furiously ran to the top of the hole, letting loose an bone-chilling scream that echoed uninterrupted through the upper level.
Hearing this was terrifying.
Following this scream becoming more and more distant, Qi Lin felt relief. He knew that he guessed correctly.
Not long after, the three of them smoothly landed in an open space.
Similarly, this was an undiscovered interior area of the ruins.
The silhouette of a subterranean city was even still visible.
“You really are amazing.” Xuesha was in a dream. An indefatigable, despair-inducing array was surprisingly evaded just like that. They even found the exit that lead to the next level. She could not help but admit that this man in front of her was both meticulous and daring.
“Fortunately, I didn’t shame my ancestors.” Qi Lin sighed in relief.
