Chapter 305: Chapter 178: Reincarnation Corpses, Undead Army
"Such a tough bald head, meow..."
TAP—
Xiumi landed lightly.
The bald man was right on her heels, already throwing a lethal punch!
But just as she landed, corpses began to explode one after another!
SPLAT!
SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH—
Countless sharp blades shot out, all aimed at him!
[Trap: Thousand Blades]
CLANG— CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG!
The bald man crossed his arms to shield himself, his body erupting in a golden glow!
The Thousand Blades struck his body.
Yet they didn’t even scratch him.
"So ordinary blades can’t hurt you, meow?"
BANG!
Just as the bald man blocked the last of the blades and was about to resume his pursuit of Xiumi, the ground beneath him suddenly gave way.
A pit had opened up beneath him at some unknown moment. He had intended to use the ground for leverage and charge at Xiumi with lethal force!
But...
’When did ropes get tangled around my ankles?’
[Trap: Beast Trapping Lasso]
’The ropes are draining my strength!’
BANG!
He suddenly put his strength into it, trying to break free. The rope was pulled taut, but it didn’t snap.
"That’s a special rope I made. It would be pretty embarrassing if you could just snap it so easily, meow."
Xiumi tossed a black sphere in her hand.
"This is a Celestial Star Burst Bomb."
"I wonder if it can break through that defense of yours, meow."
BOOM!
Xiumi threw it with all her might!
The black sphere produced a sonic boom as it flew!
In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of the bald man!
The bald man’s feet were bound, but his fists were still free!
He gathered his strength and launched a punch at the incoming sphere!
WHOOM!
But when the sphere exploded, it unleashed an incredibly brilliant flash of light! Even his Perception was momentarily stunned, and his mind went completely blank.
"Idiot. It’s a Flash Bomb."
In that same instant, Xiumi was right in front of the bald man!
Her short blade was poised to strike!
The bald man struggled to continue his forward punch.
But as his fist swung out, he felt no impact.
He snapped back to his senses, only to feel something being shoved right up his nose.
SHINK!
Xiumi had shoved a needle straight into its nostril!
Something seemed to have been injected directly into its body through the nasal cavity.
THUMP!
Xiumi planted a kick on the bald man’s chest.
She used the momentum to launch herself away, landing gracefully in the distance. The bald man, however, tensed up, his muscles bulging.
He was emitting a golden glow, clearly struggling.
’He’s already a corpse... so this corpse-dissolving poison should work, meow.’
Level 5 Hunter.
A Profession adept at using tools, laying traps, and fighting with agile weapons like short blades, bows, and daggers.
Facing a Hunter who has had time to prepare is an absolute nightmare for most other Professions.
...
’I’ve deciphered it.’
[Secret of Endless Reincarnation]
"This place was once a site for the Reincarnation Inheritance. Countless peerless geniuses fought a brutal battle here to claim it."
"All who fell here paid the price: to be trapped in an endless cycle of Reincarnation within these grounds."
"To obtain the true Reincarnation Inheritance, one must defeat all the recorded experts who have received a Reincarnation Mark..."
’All of them?’
Lu Cang processed the information he had deciphered.
’But are there only three of them?’
His gaze suddenly shifted to the distant battlefield.
He was too far from the center of the battlefield; his Perception couldn’t get a detailed view.
He could only judge the state of the battle by the commotion they were making.
The Sword Saint was making a huge racket.
Every other moment, he was carving massive trenches in the ground, clearing out huge swathes of corpses.
However, he hadn’t sensed the flamboyant, golden-glowing bald man for a little while now.
’I wonder where he went.’
The corpses provided cover, making it difficult for others to see Lu Cang, but they also obstructed his line of sight.
’Time to join the fight...’
Lu Cang had just gotten to his feet.
But...
RUMBLE—
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE—
But all across the field, jet-black coffins began to emerge!
A thin curtain of light shot up into the sky from all directions!
In an instant, it formed a hemispherical Barrier.
It completely enveloped the entire battlefield.
BANG!
The coffin lids were kicked open!
Figure after figure emerged from the coffins.
Seeing this, Xiumi’s tail went rigid, and the fur all over her body stood on end!
HSSS—!
Lu Cang swept the area with his Perception at its maximum Range.
’So many powerful auras.’
’They might not be as strong as the first three, but they aren’t far off.’
Sensing this, Lu Cang shot back toward the city wall at extreme Speed!
In just a single second, he crossed a thousand kilometers!
FWOOSH!
However, as he rocketed toward the wall, Lu Cang immediately sensed powerful auras giving chase from his left, his right, and from behind!
SNAP!
Lu Cang came to an instant halt!
A black long blade was slashing at his neck!
It was followed by a jet of black flame piercing toward him—
BOOM!
The black flame roared forward!
But it slammed instantly into the shield of an ancient Sword and Shield Demon that appeared before him!
As for the black long blade slashing at him, Lu Cang had already thrust his War Spear!
Before the blade could reach him, his War Spear erupted with brilliant Element. Ten different Combat Skills, mixed with Magic, exploded from its tip!
[Penetration]
The Secret Skill of Transparency activated, and his power instantly pierced through the enemy’s body!
Then, with a swing of his right arm, he flung its body far into the distance!
And the Source that he had just driven into its body with that strike detonated.
[Soul Condensing True Burst (Tier Four) (Level 301) — Sacrifice Soul: 2,000,000]
BOOM!
A continuously shrinking void blasted open high up in the dome.
’And these corpses emerging from one Black Coffin after another... now that I’ve deciphered the Secret, should I call them... Reincarnation Corpses?’
