Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Spirit Corpse Escapes
In front of Lingyun Peak, with the tragic death of Earth Fiend, Celestial Fiend was filled with immense hatred.
His Iron Coffin aggressively absorbed towards Ye Jingcheng.
And Ye Jingcheng finally witnessed the power of the Magical Artifact.
He felt a terrifying suction force, continuously pulling his body and absorbing the Spiritual Energy from within, even causing instability in his cultivation technique.
It’s no wonder some Magical Artifacts were irresistible, as the Spiritual Power attached to Divine Sense was being siphoned away, naturally weakening the control by Divine Sense, leading to the loss of control over the Magical Artifact.
Ye Jingcheng hurriedly took out a bag from his hand, filled with Purple Illusion Mist.
As soon as the Purple Illusion Mist was released, it surged into that Black Coffin.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng’s body strangely transformed into White Jade Light, passing through the Black Fog in an instant.
Avoiding that terrifying suction force.
"Such a brilliant Fog Escape?" Celestial Fiend was immediately filled with regret.
The opportunity to kill Ye Jingcheng just now was the best, and with this two-tailed illusionary demon fox, naturally, he could not be left.
But now that the Spirit Fox was here, he dared not face the siege of the four anymore.
As long as there are mountains left, he can seek revenge eventually!
He waved his hand, summoning the coffin back.
Then, the Blood Bat Corpse Refinement fighting the Tier Two Blood Eagle in the sky actually swooped down.
Charging towards the group.
And Celestial Fiend, after slashing out a Blood Saber again, rushed towards the outside of the array.
The new array set up by Ye Haiyun was clearly not as effective as the previous Mountain Protection Array, otherwise, it could trap this Celestial Fiend.
The Blood Bat Corpse Refinement swooped down, only to be greeted by the huge Fireball of the Red Flame Fox.
With a loud boom.
The two Fireballs engulfed the Blood Bat Corpse Refinement, and the next moment, it turned into a blazing fire bat that fell.
And the incoming Blood Eagle, piercing through the flames, actually grabbed and crushed the Inner Core of the Blood Bat Corpse Refinement with its claw.
Outside, of the last two resisting Corpse Refinements, one severed-arm Green-haired Corpse was running towards the distance.
It seemed that the death of Earth Fiend had freed it from control.
And the Mid-stage Second Tier Corpse Refinement, instead, fiercely charged towards Ye Jingcheng and others, clearly intending to cover Celestial Fiend’s retreat.
But at this moment, Ye Jingcheng released the Golden Scale Beast.
The Golden Scale Beast had already been communicated with through the Soul Contract by Ye Jingcheng in the Spirit Beast Bag.
Now it formed a dense Earth Spike Array behind Celestial Fiend.
This Earth Spike Array may be ineffective on Corpse Refinements but effective against cultivators.
Even though Celestial Fiend is flesh and blood, and most likely not a Body Cultivator!
The Golden Scale Beast may not be as formidable as a Tier Two Demon Beast, but it can delay.
With the appearance of the Earth Spike Array, Celestial Fiend’s expression changed significantly, and at this moment, a blood glow appeared on his body surface.
Although he was in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, he could hardly withstand so many Foundation Establishment cultivators and numerous Secret Treasures.
The most crucial problem was that the Fireball of the Red Flame Fox was too powerful.
Even his Black Wood Coffin couldn’t withstand it.
The uncanny split into two also shattered his confidence.
This was still on the Ye Family’s territory.
At this moment, he felt intense regret for taking such a risk for mere treasures.
Apart from Ye Jingcheng’s Red Flame Fox’s remote Fireballs, the Jade-eyed Hanging Eye Tiger and the Spotted Cloud Tiger, two Tier Two Tiger Demons, also charged around Celestial Fiend, attacking from the front and back.
But at this moment, Celestial Fiend performed a Secret Technique, the blood glow spreading, greatly enhancing his strength, yet still appearing as a lone tree struggling to support itself.
Moreover, at this moment, the Ye Family’s Qi Cultivation Demon Beasts also arrived, with countless Black Wood Ants and Five Poison Bees, and Big-headed Ants flying everywhere.
Insect Cultivators complicate things for Corpse Refinements.
These Big-headed Ants were terrifying, even covering the Mid-stage Second Tier Corpse Refinement.
At this moment, the Ye Family fully exhibited its financial resources, those Spirit Insects and Spirit Ants essentially sacrificing themselves. For Foundation Establishment cultivators, they would still be manageable by applying Fire Attribute Magic or Thunder Attribute Magic.
But Corpse Refinements excel because of their robust bodies.
Very soon, numerous corpse flesh pieces were bitten off by the Big-headed Ants and Black Wood Ants.
Finally, with Ye Jingyu’s Flying Sword, took down the Black Corpse first.
"Explode!" Celestial Fiend was indeed ruthless. Seeing no escape, he grabbed a handful of Bursting Talismans, scattering them in the air.
Creating a terrifying Spiritual Energy storm.
Also creating openings in the attacks of several Tier Two Demon Beasts.
A Sword Light flashed and vanished, Celestial Fiend wished to escape.
At this moment, unbeknownst to anyone, a drum appeared in Ye Jingcheng’s hand.
Dong!
The drum sounded, like the drum of death, striking Celestial Fiend’s body.
Causing him to stagger down from the sword.
And at this time, it was unclear when, the array on Lingyun Peak was once again repaired.
Twelve Spirit Blades converged again.
The Spirit Shield reappeared, perfectly covering Celestial Fiend.
He was just a hair’s breadth away from escaping.
But sometimes, a hair’s breadth is enough to be fatal.
The twelve Spirit Blades descended, the power of these blades comparable to a Late Stage Tier Two strike.
Even though Celestial Fiend’s Black Wood Coffin was a Top-Grade Defense Spiritual Artifact, it was starting to falter now.
A long tongue flew over, piercing through Celestial Fiend’s neck.
His eyes widened, bulging deeply, with unwillingness as he finally fell.
...
At this moment, not far from Lingyun Peak, a silhouette stood quietly.
In his hand was a Jade Talisman, within which, another Jade Talisman had turned to powder.
He took a long look at Lingyun Peak, ultimately not stepping forward.
Regardless of whether it’s Ye Haicheng or whether he has broken through the Purple Mansion, he no longer had any reason to stand out now.
His body seemed slightly staggering, his face beneath the Spirit-Blocking Robe extremely serious.
He half-tilted his head, only feeling a headache, the situation growing increasingly complex.
A gentle breeze blew through, as if brushing past dark clouds, the sky gradually clearing, the rainy days were over.
His body slowly retreated backward.
Disappearing from view.
And after that silhouette had vanished for a moment, it appeared again, seemingly sensing someone tracking him.
After confirming nothing was amiss, he left once more.
And at this moment, on Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak, beside a lake, an elderly figure appeared, holding a few transparent Spirit Eggs in hand. As the Spirit Eggs danced between his fingers, they vanished into thin air, yet upon closer inspection, were still in his palm.
"The legendary Sea Leech is aimless and shapeless, neither born nor dead, living only when encountering the sea!"
"Mo Family, I hope you won’t disappoint us!"
"Old Turtle, you continue to protect Haicheng!" The old man said one final thing before disappearing too.
...
It was unknown how much time had passed, inside a mountain cave.
A Green-haired Corpse lay inside, clutching a Forest Pig with one hand, continuously draining its blood.
A rare glow of intelligence shone in its eyes.
No longer having the appearance of a Corpse Refinement.
Clearly, with eyes so clear, a handsome face was revealed beneath the green hair.
"Ye Family, you’ve cost me two entangled bodies, someday, I will settle this score with you!"
The Green-haired Corpse spoke fiercely.
However, his eyes slightly narrowed, sensing some strands of red at the cave entrance, appearing somewhat glaring.
