Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Lingering Fear
The dark cave emitted moisture everywhere, as the actions of the corpse refinement stopped, fresh blood flowed out, dripped down, and permeated the air with a thick scent.
At the severed arm of the refined corpse, the corpse flesh wiggled once again, and in no time, an arm grew out anew.
Yet the whole cave remained terrifyingly quiet, with the green hair corpse’s face once again covered by green hair, appearing ghastly and horrifying.
It put down the half-eaten Forest Pig and slowly exhaled a green poisonous fog.
One hand opened completely, growing long corpse claws, while the other hand deftly pressed against its back, not resembling a freshly grown hand at all.
At this moment, the red thing finally emerged, with the Red Thousand Rat appearing first.
Its long red nose, and piercing eyes.
Roar!
Along with the corpse’s shriek, countless corpse needles shot out from the hand extending out, among which one needle was cyan-green, the most terrifying!
And almost simultaneously as they fired, its entire body was covered with Spiritual Light, astonishingly heading toward the exit of the cave using Earth Escape.
However, suddenly a Profound Cauldron appeared above the head of the Red Thousand Rat.
Emitting a dense array of eerie-colored talisman scripts.
Clang clang clang!
The corpse needles landed on the surface of the Profound Cauldron, not even breaking through the Spirit Patterns and Spirit Shield.
Only among them, one needle shattered the Spirit Talisman and Spirit Shield covering the Zhenyuan Cauldron’s surface.
Piercing into the cauldron, seemingly causing damage to the Zhenyuan Cauldron itself.
Beside it, the Golden Scale Beast continuously started releasing Earth Spikes.
Earth Spikes were more terrifying underground, due to being covered entirely in earth attribute soil layers, under the gathering of Earth Attribute Spiritual Power, they became even more frightening, able to disrupt Earth Escape Skill as well.
Forced into a corner, the green-haired corpse flew out from its dwelling once again, rushing toward the Golden Scale Beast.
Yet, waiting for it was a scorching firelight, this Fireball filled the entire cave.
No escape!
The whole cave was engulfed in flames.
At this time, Ye Jingcheng emerged from behind the Red Flame Fox and Golden Scale Beast.
The cave quieted down once more.
Accompanied by residual flames and slowly dissipating corpse vapor.
However, in the next moment, only fragments of a shattered coffin remained in the cave, not a single corpse.
Simultaneously, a corpse spear nailed down, piercing toward this side through the air.
Ye Jingcheng was greatly shocked.
The Golden Scale Beast bore the brunt, standing foremost, its golden scale armor, at this moment pushed to its limits!
Boom!
Yet the Golden Scale Beast was directly pierced, simultaneously, alongside it, the Red Flame Fox was also pierced.
This corpse spear was too fast.
Despite piercing through the Golden Scale Beast and Red Flame Fox, its force did not diminish, rushing toward Ye Jingcheng.
Ye Jingcheng dared not hesitate, first pressing down a Sheet of Tier Two Cyan Sky Talisman, which transformed into a cyan escape light.
This Tier Two Cyan Sky Talisman was given to him by Ye Xingliu from Taichang Market, which he hadn’t had the chance to use until now.
But this wasn’t enough; his spirit was highly tense, the Beast Communication Pattern crazily unleashed, even though the Jade Qilin Snake was breaking through, he couldn’t care anymore.
Vast amounts of Jade Qilin Snake Spiritual Power poured out from the Beast Communication Pattern, Water Escape Skill invoked again!
Moreover, for the first time, he surprisingly found most of the Jade Qilin Snake’s Spiritual Power was already in a liquid state.
Under the humid water vapor, Ye Jingcheng’s Water Escape Skill greatly augmented, incredibly fast.
Meanwhile, from his hand, he retrieved the Cyan Heart Mirror, and the Heaven-Trapping Bell.
One magical artifact after another was summoned, Zhenyuan Tower also recalled, blocking in front.
Nevertheless, it still couldn’t be stopped!
"Talisman Treasure!" A terrifying thought echoed in Ye Jingcheng’s mind, he immediately took out the Shocking God Drum.
This time, he beat it with all his might, in the narrow space of the cave, the Shocking God Drum thundered toward the green-haired corpse.
Yet the corpse spear was already falling towards Ye Jingcheng’s face, he dodged it at a critical moment, it only pierced his shoulder.
His previously indestructible Stone Armor Skill was pierced through in an instant, he felt his shoulder bone shatter.
But fortunately, that corpse spear halted.
Beside it, the Red Flame Fox emitted a low cry, its remaining breath fired out another Fireball.
In the cave, the blazing firelight resulted in an even more terrifying reaction.
The scorching wave pushed both the Red Flame Fox and Golden Scale Beast out.
The Red Flame Fox was alright, being a Fire Attribute Spirit Beast, yet the Golden Scale Beast appeared somewhat charred, its breath even weaker.
But the key thing was, the corpse spear fell down, transforming into a yellow spirit talisman.
The light from the spirit talisman was in a half-dark state, evidently, it was a Talisman Treasure whose power was half-used.
In this Cultivation Realm, magical artifacts are used by Qi Cultivation Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators, only the Purple Mansion Ascendants, Golden Core True Masters, and Nascent Soul True Monarchs use magical treasures.
Only magical treasures can be stored within, nurtured by True Essence.
But often some Great Power seals magical treasures in spirit talismans for descendants to use for protection.
This yellow corpse spear talisman was clearly a talisman treasure.
Ye Jingcheng didn’t relax, he used his other hand to form finger formulas again, and instantly the Falling Flame Fire Feather shot out, piercing into the charred green-haired corpse, the latter was moving its mouth.
Wanting to say something.
But at this moment, Ye Jingcheng was already terrified beyond measure, the Shadow Needle was the only remaining shot from his hand, simultaneously the Cyan Heart Mirror and the Zhenyuan Tower were hurled toward the corpse refinement.
The survival of corpse refinement differs greatly from a cultivator.
This time, Ye Jingcheng divided the corpse refinement into several segments before stopping.
Even after reaching this point, Ye Jingcheng was not at ease, he ordered the Red Flame Fox to launch another Fireball Skill.
But the Fireball Skill already appeared somewhat dim, unlike previously so large.
As it roared into the cave again, it exploded with a densely packed firelight.
Under Ye Jingcheng’s Divine Sense, he seemed to see some green light shatter, also heard an almost imperceptible shriek.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng’s eyebrows furrowed more resolutely, and he launched another Fireball Skill.
Finally, he directed the nearby Red Thousand Rat to use its claws, again shredding the corpse refinement to smithereens.
Only then did he stop!
Ye Jingcheng exhaled a breath, the pain in his shoulder forced him to bite his lip slightly, he was still young, the corpse refinement initially hid its hand behind its back, never revealing, only using one hand’s corpse claw to attack, actually concealing the activation of talisman treasure at the rear.
And indeed, when chasing, he hadn’t thought the corpse refinement would possess so many methods!
After all, originally he intended to kill witnesses, and truly felt the corpse refinement was unusual.
Yet to his surprise, the corpse refinement had already lost an arm, and its Spiritual Power greatly diminished, but unexpectedly, its subsequent moves were so terrifying.
And the talisman treasure, moreover, the rear Spiritual Light seemed to be rich soul power.
This time, fortunately, there was the Shocking God Drum.
The Shocking God Drum attacks Divine Soul and Ear Power, and unless completely closing off six senses, will affect one inevitably.
The cultivator using talisman treasures fear such treasures the most.
That’s why Ye Jingcheng succeeded.
Ye Jingcheng took out a Healing Elixir and swallowed it, took out an Array Disc, and set up at the cave entrance.
He had trapped others, and now feared others trapping him.
After handling things simply, he looked toward the Red Flame Fox and the Golden Scale Beast.
Red Flame Fox and Golden Scale Beast’s wounds were huge, all were piercing wounds.
The Red Flame Fox, worthy of being a Tier Two Demon Beast, had much stronger life force than the Golden Scale Beast.
The wounds of both beasts were appallingly severe.
Ye Jingcheng continuously infused treasure light into both creatures.
This time, without any reservation, both beasts consumed a full two pages of treasure light.
Their breath gradually improved, but the Red Flame Fox still seemed somewhat weak.
As for the Golden Scale Beast, even more so, both beasts would require continued treatment with treasure light from Ye Jingcheng.
If it had been another cultivator from the Ye Family, these spirit beasts would not have survived.
The power of the talisman treasure indeed was far more terrifying than imagined.
But at this moment, Ye Jingcheng became curious about the identity of the corpse refinement, he looked toward the depths of the cave; there, only a jade bracelet remained...
