Chapter 279 The Golden Sword
This Yanluo Sect had fully utilized Qin Chao's strengths, inciting a conflict between him and the righteous clans, ultimately leaving both sides injured. It was only at this point that they emerged, reaping the benefits.
If it weren't for Rosy's reminder, Qin Chao himself would likely be covered in wounds now.
Furthermore, these guys not only possessed an invincible corpse king, but also controlled Hu Ke, making her fight alongside the righteous clans.
Qin Chao suddenly felt foolish. If Hu Ke were to be killed, then wouldn't everything he had done today be in vain?
These damn Yanluo Sect were too cowardly to fight fair and square, playing these underhanded tricks!
"Ah!" A young disciple let out a scream, his stamina finally depleted, falling prey to the corpse king's whip, lashing against his body. Xu Renfeng acted quickly, immediately cutting the young disciple in half with his sword.
The young disciple's senior brothers and sisters from his sect were unhappy, cursing loudly.
"Master Xu, what do you mean by this?"
"Hmph, if I didn't kill him, he would have turned into a corpse king later. Then, the next one to be killed would be all of you!"
The disciples of Shu Mountain were known for their demon-slaying and ruthless nature.
The disciples of smaller sects couldn't afford to offend Shu Mountain and could only grit their teeth and swallow their grievances.
"This won't do," Qing Xiu furrowed her eyebrows, saying, "if this continues, everyone will be exhausted. Then, we'll all be done for."
"As long as we hold on until dawn and let the sun disperse the corpse energy, these corpse kings won't be invincible anymore!" Chu Feng reminded.
"There are still three hours until dawn!" This sentence undoubtedly pointed everyone in the right direction.
"Alright! Then we'll hold on until dawn!"
Qing Xiu nodded, then turned to her two disciples, "Yuan Meng, Yuan Yin, Yang God Sword Formation!"
"Yes, Master!" The two beautiful women crisply replied. They held their swords and spread out in a triangular formation with their Master, standing in three positions around the circle.
"Emei secret technique, Yang Spirit Sword Formation!" The three of them shouted in unison, then thrust their swords into the ground in front of them.
At that moment, their bodies froze in place. At the same time, three women wearing white Daoist robes flew out of their bodies and floated on top of the sword.
Their Yang spirits had left their bodies!
These three women looked exactly like their original bodies, and they were clearly their Yang spirits. Qing Xiu's Yuan spirit was strong, and her appearance was the clearest.
However, the Yuan spirits of Yuan Yin and Yuan Meng looked somewhat young, like thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls. This was because they had only recently begun to cultivate their Yang spirits, and their cultivation was still at the level of Divine Power, so they had not yet been able to fully transform their Yin spirits into Yang spirits.
But at this moment, the two of them could barely join their master in forming the Emei Sect's secret technique, the Yang Spirit Sword Formation.
This Yang Spirit Sword Formation required at least three cultivators above the level of Divine Power in the Emei Sect.
The people around them stared wide-eyed as they watched this Emei Sect secret technique that they had never seen before.
They saw the three women continuously grasp the spirit swords formed by the Yuan spirit in their hands and throw them at the approaching Corpse Kings.
The Corpse Kings, who had been invincible just a moment ago, were now injured by these swords made of Yuan Qi. Although the wounds were not deep, they stirred up everyone's emotions.
Truly, the Yang Spirit Sword Formation was powerful and formidable!
These Yuan spirit swords did not damage the Corpse King's body but pierced through the Yin spirits that had been refined within it.
"The Emei Sect's sword formation is truly extraordinary." The wine Taoist couldn't help but praise, "But it will be tough for Emei Sect alone to deal with this. Since I am also bored, I'll show off my skills."
As he spoke, the wine Taoist shook his gourd and then poured out a handful of soybeans into his hand.
Everyone was surprised. What was the wine Taoist's gourd made of? How could it not only pour out wine but also soybeans?
Playing with the soybeans in his hand, the wine Taoist then sprinkled them on the ground.
"Supreme Lord Laozi, I request your immediate assistance!" he called out.
As soon as the soybeans hit the ground, each one suddenly emitted golden light, and a row of golden-armored warriors stood up from the ground.
"It's 'sprinkling soybeans to create soldiers'!" an experienced cultivator couldn't help but exclaim.
The technique of turning beans into soldiers was an advanced Taoist art of the Yimei Sect. They had only heard of it in legends before, but now they were witnessing it firsthand, and they were all amazed.
When the armored warriors appeared, they immediately rushed toward the corpse kings, and the battle erupted. They helped to alleviate some of the pressure on the three of them who were performing the Yang Spirit Sword Formation.
"Not bad," the sect leader praised, "but with these methods, I'm afraid you can't hold out for three hours."
As he spoke, he made a gesture, and the fierce light in Hu Ke's eyes grew even stronger.
"Boom!" Hu Ke's fists slammed hard onto the ground, causing it to tremble violently. The power of the zombies, combined with the properties of the earth, immediately produced a terrifying effect.
The ground under everyone's feet suddenly sank into a deep pit. Many cultivators couldn't control their bodies and slid into the hole. Yuan Yin's body also slipped along with the sunken pit.
In an instant, the Yang Spirit Sword Formation that had just been formed was broken. The three of them were the minimum requirement to form the formation. Without one of them, it was impossible to form it.
Yuan Yin's Yang Spirit was withdrawn back into her body, and the other two people were pulled back as well.
"The three real people from Mount Emei, please rest for a while. I will take care of this!" At this moment, Fa Xiang stepped forward. He plunged his staff heavily into the ground in the center of the circle, and sat down in front of it.
As he continued to recite the Buddhist scriptures, a huge golden Arhat appeared behind him. The enormous Arhat sat on the circle, protecting everyone inside.
To ensure that Fa Xiang was not disturbed, Su Ji stood by and guarded him.
"The people from the Baotai Temple on Mount Songshan should die too!" The sect leader sneered and was about to control Hu Ke to attack Fa Xiang and Su Ji.
"Oh no!" Qin Chao couldn't just stand by and watch Su Ji get hurt. He quickly leaped forward, wanting to help.
But the two corpse kings blocked his way. Qin Chao pulled out the Evil King Sword and swung it.
"Clang! Clang!" The normally unstoppable Evil King Sword was now bounced back by the force of the blow.
This left Qin Chao greatly surprised. These corpse kings were so powerful that even the Evil King's Sword could not cut them open!
"Shun!" But this didn't stop Qin Chao. He used the abilities of the Nine Nether Poison Spider, traversing through space and appearing behind the two corpse kings. He continued to run towards Hu Ke.
"Little handsome, where are you going?" Just as he escaped from the two corpse kings, Mei Ji appeared in front of him.
"Is your body sewn up?" Qin Chao looked at the woman coldly.
"How did you know that? Did you peek at me?" Mei Ji giggled and took off her black robe, revealing her body underneath.
She was wearing a short top that exposed her slender waist. However, there were many dense and intricate stitches on her waist.
This was where Qin Chao had cut her in half. If it wasn't for the sect master sewing her back together, she would probably be dead by now.
But this appearance was really...ugly.
"Is it pretty?" Mei Ji's eyes had turned red as she touched the stitches on her waist, asking Qin Chao.
"Not bad, it suits you well." Qin Chao knew that the other party was being sarcastic, but he went along with it anyway.
"Then I'll give you one too!" Mei Ji was already ignited with anger, but she knew she wasn't this guy's match. With a wave of her hand, she summoned two corpse kings to attack Qin Chao.
"Don't get in my way!" Qin Chao was anxious to help Su Ji, so he swung the Evil King's Sword. A black crescent moon flew out, "Evil King's Remnant Moon Slash!"
Seeing the Evil King's Remnant Moon Slash, Mei Ji's face turned pale instinctively as she screamed and dodged.
The crescent moon collided with the two corpse kings, sending them flying, but it did not cut them in half like it did with Mei Ji. The Evil King's Sword vibrated, and Qin Chao could feel it clearly.
"What's wrong, Evil King's Sword? Are you feeling unhappy too?"
To his surprise, there were things that even the Evil King's Sword couldn't cut. Even the sword itself was not very pleased about it.
"Hahaha, useless!" Mei Ji laughed loudly, suspended in mid-air, seeing that the Corpse King was unharmed. "Under the nourishment of the corpse energy of the Zombie King, this Corpse King is an invincible existence! Qin Chao, let these guys tear you apart!"
"It doesn't have to be me who gets torn apart..." Qin Chao exhaled. The Nine Nether Poisonous Spider that had possessed his body instantly turned into a black flame and flew out of him, disappearing into the air.
Qin Chao had unexpectedly given up the Nine Nether Summoning Technique. He held his sword and slowly closed his eyes.
"You're not even using the Nine Nether Summoning Technique?" Mei Ji sneered, "Looks like you've given up, huh. Well, stand still and don't move, death is only a moment away."
Just as Mei Ji's two Corpse Kings pounced, Qin Chao suddenly opened his eyes. The green pupils suddenly emitted a golden light. At the same time, his Evil King Sword in his hand seemed to be coated with a layer of gold, turning the sword body into a golden-red color.
It was the golden version of the Evil King Sword that had appeared in his miniature world.
"Slash!" Qin Chao waved his hand, and the Evil King Sword swept out.
At the same time, a golden giant sword appeared in the air and swept across the bodies of the two Corpse Kings.
Mei Ji was also stunned because not only the two Corpse Kings, but also her own waist, had been slashed by the suddenly appearing golden giant sword.
"What kind of sword is this..." Mei Ji asked in amazement.
"Stop asking so many questions when you're dead." Qin Chao ignored her, holding the golden Evil King Sword, and continued to run towards Su Ji.
"Swish!" At this moment, the bodies of the two Corpse Kings were split in half and fell to the ground.
As for Mei Ji, who was suspended in mid-air, her body was separated again. This time, not only her body but also her soul was split.
Even the Sect Leader of the Yanluo Sect could not repair a broken soul.
"Corpse Kings, look over here!" After taking care of them, Qin Chao continued to run while shouting loudly, "Grandpa Qin Chao has arrived!"
"Mei Ji is dead?" The Sect Leader was shocked and looked at Qin Chao, who was running towards him, with some disbelief. His eyes focused intensely on the Evil King Sword, "What kind of sword is that?"
