Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 397 - 395: Chaotic Battle
Chapter 397: Chapter 395: Chaotic Battle
The Patriarch of the Gu family was cunning and intended to use benefits to pacify public indignation, minimizing the damage.
Lou Yi, however, felt a deep chill in his heart.
He still underestimated the heroes under heaven; they were old foxes who had lived for over a hundred years and wouldn’t completely follow his script.
With two Foundation Establishment cultivators joining forces, a slight mistake could cause him to be trapped here.
However, Elder Wang, despite all his calculations, would never foresee the presence of the Yellow Springs.
Thinking of this, Lou Yi’s heart moved.
He silently activated the skill ’Armor-Piercing’ and launched it towards two relatively weaker cult members.
Their screams echoed as their faces turned pale, standing in place and convulsing violently.
Noticing the commotion, some armored guards rushed swiftly towards the Yellow Springs.
“Not good!”
The Yellow Springs members, already harboring ulterior motives, reacted like startled cats, each standing up as if in a stress response.
Some even had Spiritual Power flowing on the surface of their bodies, clearly preparing to cast magic.
Lou Yi shouted urgently, “These bastards are probably here to deal with us, why not strike first?”
Hearing this, many cult members present agreed deeply.
Elder Sun, though eager to move, dared not make a reckless decision and looked towards the Thirteenth Elder.
Realizing her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, it was apparent she was still in a dilemma.
Originally thinking there was only one Foundation Establishment cultivator, she was confident of victory.
Now there were two, and even though she always considered herself highly capable, she had to weigh the pros and cons.
But Lou Yi gave her no time to think, standing up straight and shouting angrily, “Damn it, what kind of demon technique is this, injuring our brothers!
Brave brothers, the Gu family has colluded with demons, intending to sacrifice us in blood, to nourish their ’Blood Refinement and Transfiguration Array’!”
The ’Blood Refinement and Transfiguration Array’ was an evil array Lou Yi had seen in the sect’s ancient books.
Long lost, it nourished the array with blood, claiming that the more who died, the greater its power.
At this moment, this high-sounding term was thrown out, complemented by the platform below, and the faintly flowing black array patterns…
The attendees, upon seeing it now, suddenly felt a heart-stirring sensation different from before, their expressions changed, and they were restless!
Even some regular visitors, knowing this was an array used at auctions for countless years.
But under the influence of the surrounding unrest, they couldn’t help but suspect whether this auction was indeed the Gu family’s conspiracy, trying to entrap them all.
“Brothers, fight against the Gu family!”
A sudden gray sphere, the size of an egg, appeared in Lou Yi’s hand.
After infusing it with Spiritual Power.
With a ’whoosh’, it swiftly flew towards the platform below where the auction was located!
“Hmph! A tiny pearl shines as well?” The Gu family Patriarch sneered disdainfully.
With a wave of his large hand, a gigantic withered yellow wooden umbrella appeared above the platform, spinning slowly in the air.
The surface of the umbrella canopy shimmered with a large number of hazy green lights, tightly protecting the Gu family members below.
’Bang!’
The gray sphere exploded violently upon touching the wooden umbrella, akin to a thunderclap from a clear sky, while a large amount of corrosive gray yin energy spread out.
But with a flash of green light from the wooden umbrella, the yin energy melted away like snow and ice, dissipating almost completely in an instant.
“Petty tricks…” The Gu family Patriarch hadn’t finished his sentence when his expression drastically changed.
Following Lou Yi.
Dozens of yin thunder orbs, like a celestial lady scattering flowers, flew towards his location simultaneously!
“Damn you, pretending!”
“Kill him!!”
The Yellow Springs sect members threw out the yin thunder orbs in their hands one after another.
’Bang bang bang bang bang bang!’
The violent sound of explosions echoed continuously.
Like a torrential storm, they corroded the hazy green light on the gigantic wooden umbrella, producing a straining ’crackling’ sound.
Each yin thunder orb compared to an attack at the peak of Qi Cultivation.
Now, with dozens of peak Qi Cultivation attacks converging, the energy contained within even made Foundation Establishment cultivators change color!
’Boom!’
Finally, quantitative change caused qualitative change.
The gigantic magic wooden umbrella could no longer hold and was blasted to pieces by the sea of yin thunder attacks, and the overwhelming energy then poured down towards the platform below!
In an instant, rubble flew, airflow surged, and a gigantic gray-white mushroom-shaped smoke cloud soared into the sky!
“Run!”
“Damn the Gu family, I’ll never come back!”
“My legs, ah, my legs!”
The entire sunken hemispherical auction hall suddenly turned into a living hell, filled with cries, curses, and screams everywhere.
Smoke and dust clouded everyone’s vision, making it unclear, causing many to bump into each other and descend into chaos.
“Thief, I’ll kill you!”
A furious voice came from the platform.
Soon, a colossal, dark green humanoid tree rose from the ground.
It emerged as if from a primordial wilderness, with deep ravines etched into its rough body.
Its main limbs comprised dozens of twisted tree trunks intertwined, forming a face high above, old and wooden.
Countless twisted black branches extended from its body, rapidly shooting towards the Yellow Springs sect members!
The twisted branches were sharper than the finest spears, piercing through several unfortunate souls who couldn’t dodge in time, easily skewering them in mid-air!
“Begone!”
The thirteenth elder of the Yellow Springs sect finally couldn’t hold back, and a startling wave of spiritual power emanated from her body.
Her eyes turned blood-red, her long hair transformed into fiery red, wildly dancing in the air.
Simultaneously, she tossed a roll of red silk into the air, which burst into light.
It then transformed into a massive red waterfall, flowing towards the giant treant wreaking havoc.
The red silk continuously extended.
It wrapped and knotted around the treant’s joints and branches like a dragon, instantly making the treant incredibly stiff, significantly reducing its threat level.
“Yellow Springs elder, Bone-Eating Demoness?” the Gu family patriarch exclaimed in alarm.
“Hahaha, never thought I’d catch such a big fish today!” Elder Wang in the sky laughed, his expression excited.
He waved his hand, and four black formation flags shot into the air like streams of light, forming a four-symbol array.
In an instant, a gigantic black cubical cage formed.
Black as ink, it was overwhelming with sinister energy.
Inside, distorted ghost faces, human hands, and blood shadows occasionally appeared.
Even from a distance, one felt chills and breathlessness; it was Elder Wang’s famous technique ’Four Corners Infernal Prison’!
“Capture!”
Spiritual power erupted from within Elder Wang, surging out like a river.
The Four Corners Infernal Prison instantly shifted position, enveloping the thirteenth elder Bone-Eating Demoness and numerous surrounding evil cultivators!
After accomplishing this, Elder Wang’s face turned slightly pale, and he hurriedly took out a bottle of elixirs.
He poured golden elixir pills into his mouth without hesitation, rapidly restoring his spiritual essence.
“Ah!”
The evil cultivators trapped in the cage frantically cast spells, attempting to drive away the invading sinister energies.
But it was only a drop in the bucket; in no time, they were submerged by the sinister energy, their bodies corroded beyond recognition!
“Four Corners Infernal Prison, you must be Wang Hongyue of the Corpse-Driving Sect!”
Facing Elder Wang’s renowned technique, the Bone-Eating Demoness dared not be careless.
She threw out a pink embroidered pouch, which floated gently above her head.
Then it spewed out a massive volume of pink smoke, spreading around her, completely isolating her from the sinister energy…
The scene was torn apart by three foundation establishment cultivators, leaving the ordinary people unable to see anything, too afraid to move, only able to lie on the ground trembling.
Underneath the platform, however, was a space about a hundred meters wide.
The stone walls around were studded with luminous pearls for illumination.
Seven or eight people squeezed in, men and women, all wearing Daoist robes, looking grim.
“I wonder if the patriarch can suppress these troublemakers?”
“Ridiculous, the patriarch is a foundation establishment great cultivator, along with his friend Elder Wang. No matter how fierce the troublemakers are, they won’t make much of a splash!”
“Keep an eye on the treasures. Once the patriarch clears these ruffians, the auction must proceed!”
In front of them, about twenty shiny treasures intended for the auction were piled on a stone table.
They didn’t notice.
The ground behind them suddenly cracked open.
Then silently and effortlessly parted to the sides, and a person rose quietly…
