Chapter 155: Chapter 136: Corpse Formation_1

Translator: 549690339

Upon hearing the roaring behind the stone door, Xu Mu did not respond. Instead, he rushed in, swinging his longsword, and a boundless golden lightning burst forth.

Chirp!

A blue sparrow flew out from his body, once again launching an indiscriminate sonic attack that swept across all directions.

“Ugh!”

Inside the palace, a burly figure wearing a black robe, seated on a crimson stone coffin, got hit by the attack and let out a muffled grunt, spitting out dark green blood from his mouth.

He looked with astonishment at Xu Mu, who had barged in. He did not expect someone to suddenly appear at all.

However, now was not the time for him to think much about this. His long-standing combat experience allowed him to react quickly. Squeezing the Finger Jue, he opened the twelve coffins placed behind him. Twelve ferocious corpses fully saturated with bloodthirsty and brutal energy leaped out, positioning themselves in front of him.

This man in the black robe was none other than the Iron Corpse Superior, the gang leader of the Iron Corpse Gang.

For his own safety, not only did he reside in the palace and guard it strictly, but he also always kept his dozens of refined corpses nearby so he could summon them at any time.

As for the crimson stone coffin beneath the Iron Corpse Superior, it remained closed and he showed no sign of getting up or avoiding anything. The reason for that was unknown.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

All these twelve refined corpses were at the Foundation Establishment’s late stage and they rushed towards Xu Mu under the command of the Iron Corpse Superior. They moved faster than monkeys, with an exceptional agility, making it impossible to tell they were actually crafted out of corpses.

Xu Mu, faced with the attacking refined corpses, did not show any surprise. He had thoroughly investigated before coming here and knew almost all of the Iron Corpse Superior’s tactics. He had calculated in his mind and felt confident, which was why he had stormed in.

Crackle!

His Thunder Slayer Sword quickly expanded and turned into a giant sword of lightning under the wrapping thunder. Xu Mu was also covered by the Thunder Armour from head to toe. He spread his wings behind him and charged at the refined corpses ahead of time.

Buzz!

With a sweep, The Thunder Slayer Sword heavily landed on the first refined corpse that charged up.

Crackle!

Endless lightning followed the longsword, shooting out deep wounds on the refined corpse, but failing to sever it.

“Corpse formation?”

Xu Mu’s eyebrows somewhat creased.

A quick scan and he immediately noticed that these refined corpses did not just rush over randomly, but had formed a strange array.

Setting up a corpse formation is one of the methods in the Corpse Path!

Not only can it assist in cultivation, the powerful ones can even kill enemies above their level.

The great array formed by the twelve refined corpses at the Foundation Establishment’s late stage could sweep across all peers.

This was why the Iron Corpse Gang could suppress over a dozen gangs with its power alone.

Without anyone at the Golden Core Stage stepping in, almost no one could beat them.

However, it’s a pity that they came across Xu Mu.

Not only was Xu Mu strong enough to top his peers by practicing both the martial and law bodies, but he also cultivated the Thunder Law, which restrained the Corpse Path.

Xu Mu seemed slightly surprised that a single sword strike didn’t kill the refined corpse, yet this scared the Iron Corpse Superior out of his wits.

The twelve refined corpses were linked into one body through the formation. Any attack received was equivalent to all twelve refined corpses blocking it simultaneously.

In other words, Xu Mu had broken the defense of all twelve refined corpses with one sword strike and severely injured one of them.

If this continued, his proudly acclaimed refined corpse great array might not last a few strikes.

Indeed, this was the case in terms of strength as well.

Xu Mu did not stop his attack, and swiftly launched a few more sword strikes. The injured refined corpse didn’t have time to dodge and was killed on the spot amidst its howls.

Just like that, the refined corpse great array was discarded before it could be put to use.

“Where did this expert sprout from?! Damn it!”

The Iron Corpse Superior cursed under his breath.

His opponent was simply too fast. Before he could even adjust the positions of the refined corpses, his array was broken.

It was as though his opponent knew his arrangement like the back of his hand.

It wasn’t that Xu Mu had full knowledge of it. Instead, because he also practiced the technique to control corpses, he was able to discern some clues. Assisted by his Flame Thunder Wings and focusing slashing on one, he easily broke the array.

Now was not the time for the Iron Corpse Superior to think. He quickly performed a secret technique, activating the hidden formation in the palace.

In an instant, large amounts of corrosive toxic fog gushed out from all around, filling the entire palace.

This poison fog, refined from grim spirit veins, was harmless to refined corpses but instantly deadly for ordinary cultivators.

Sure enough, under the invasion of the poison fog, the refined corpses each roared wildly as their aura greatly surged, rushing towards Xu Mu even more fearlessly.

“Just a cheap trick!”

Faced with the surging poison fog, Xu Mu simply ignored it.

The blue sparrow flew out of his body, spitting out a great amount of blue flame from its mouth. The flame instantly ignited the poison fog, spreading in all directions..

In the end, not only was the entire poison fog burnt away, but even the ground and the refined corpses were set ablaze.

Even Xu Mu did not expect the power of the blue flame to be this great.

“Fire element divine technique!!”

The Iron Corpse Superior was so depressed that he almost spat out blood.

His poisonous fog was restrained by fire, yet he encountered someone who cultivated the fire attribute martial method on the vast sea. How unlucky could one be?

What’s even more infuriating was that the opponent also cultivated the attribute of thunder.

For a moment, the Iron Corpse Superior began to wonder if the enemy had embarked on the cultivation path just to deal with him.

Was it possible that there had been a survivor when he silenced the witnesses during murder?

Had this opponent borne humiliation and practiced cultivation for years to avenge their grudge, just as said in the theatrical scripts? Otherwise, how could they infiltrate so easily and just happen to restrain him?

Xu Mu had no idea about the Iron Corpse Superior’s feelings, nor did he have the spare time to care. Without the support of the Corpse Array, he quickly cleaned up the remaining corpses with a single stroke of his sword.

Seeing the fruits of his many years’ efforts easily destroyed, the Iron Corpse Superior felt heartbroken and realized the terror of Xu Mu’s strength.

“This youngster’s strength is not inferior to the common Golden Core Stage cultivators, coupled with attribute restraint, I stand no chance of winning.” What’s more infuriating was that his palace was overly enclosed. Originally used to fend against enemy attacks, it had now become a cage that trapped him.

If this continues, he could be slain by the enemy.

“You forced me!”

The Iron Corpse Superior, realizing the crisis, decisively slapped his palm on the Blood Coffin beneath him.

The Iron Corpse Superior’s body took off, along with the coffin lid. Then he squeezed the Finger Jue, and the spiritual power in his body surged wildly, indicating that he was about to unleash a major attack.

“Now is the time!”

Xu Mu’s speed suddenly soared, and before the Iron Corpse Superior could react, Xu Mu was already in front of him.

“How could he be so fast?”

The Iron Corpse Superior was greatly shaken, this speed had already caught up with the Golden Core Stage.

What he didn’t know was that Xu Mu, owning the tier seven divine skill of flight, had long surpassed the normal Golden Core Stage in speed.

Speed had always been Xu Mu’s advantage. The reason he hadn’t burst out at full strength just now was simply because he was looking for an appropriate opportunity.

Now was the perfect time, the Iron Corpse Superior didn’t have enough time to defend while casting his skill.

Boom!

Xu Mu slashed down with his sword.

Buzz!

A layer of bloody light emerged, enveloping the Iron Corpse Superior, blocking Xu Mu’s lethal strike.

But it was only a single strike!

Crack!

Another sword fell, and the bloody light shattered instantly.

The Iron Corpse Superior, realizing the danger, tried to stop the spell casting, but the old wound was triggered, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Xu Mu showed no mercy, and his sword wrapped in endless thunder light made another slashing attack.

The Iron Corpse Superior instinctively raised his hand to block.

His body, honed by secret techniques, was so hard that it was comparable to corpse refinement.

But even a real refined corpse couldn’t withstand Xu Mu’s Thunder Slash, let alone the arm of the Iron Corpse Superior. His arm was directly cut off by Xu Mu, and the sword heavily hit his neck.

“Ah!”

The Iron Corpse Superior let out a frenzied howl.

“Who are you really? Why?”

“No reason! Just because I find you annoying!”

Thunder surged around Xu Mu, flowing into the body of the Iron Corpse Superior along the sword.

Crrrack!

The corpse corpse energy that was condensed all over the Iron Corpse Superior’s body melted away quickly, like snow under the scorching sun.

“I won’t accept this! Die, die, die!”

The Iron Corpse Superior raised his other arm towards Xu Mu, intending to punch him. Seeing this, Xu Mu’s strength burst out again, slicing through him in an instant, bisecting his body diagonally. Xu Mu then quickly retreated.

“Ahh!”

The bisected Iron Corpse Superior was still alive, staring at Xu Mu with resentful eyes, muttering something unknown. It was unclear if he was cursing or casting some secret skill.

This was a chance Xu Mu did not intend to give him. Quickly scanning through his storage bag, Xu Mu squeezed the Finger Jue again as endless thunder light aggregated, swarming the Iron Corpse Superior without a care for cost, electrifying his corpse into a pile of charcoal.

Afterward, Xu Mu drew out his remaining soul, browsing through his memories and quickly understanding the whole story.

After reading the memories, Xu Mu’s face suddenly changed.

“This bastard! Even in death, he’s trying to cause me trouble!”

He teleported in front of the Blood Coffin, looking inside to see a woman’s figure as recorded in the Iron Corpse Superior’s memory.

“Lu Jingkong, the top loose cultivator of the Outer Sea!”
