Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 440 - 438: Genius?
Chapter 440: Chapter 438: Genius?
Among these silhouettes.
There was a mottled fierce tiger about seven or eight zhang long, its golden fur standing rigidly, the tiger tail swinging like an iron rod, each swing creating a whooshing sound as it cut through the air;
There was a giant rat taller than a human, entirely black, its sharp claws glimmering with a chilling cold light, its blood-red eyes full of venomous hatred;
And there was a gigantic python covered in fleshy spikes, spewing green venom with every breath, making a ’sizzle’ sound as it hit the ground.
Vaguely, Lou Yi seemed to return to the days of the beast siege on Wangjiang County.
However, these demons before him were much fiercer than mere monsters and beasts.
Even randomly choosing one could make Wangjiang’s top martial artists struggle.
Lou Yi instinctively used the detection function to probe the diverse array of monsters before him.
[Name: Tiger Demon]
[Age: 133]
[Realm: Mid-rank Little Demon]
[Talent: None]
[Attribute: Fire Element]
…
[Name: Monkey Demon]
[Age: 210]
[Realm: High-rank Little Demon]
[Talent: None]
[Attribute: Yin Element]
…
Lou Yi then looked towards the leader of the monsters, the eye-catching Demon General.
It was a towering tree, four or five zhang tall.
From its split base extended dozens of thick black roots, aiding its movement like legs.
Oozing nauseating white fat from the cracked gray bark, the top of the main trunk bore an aged human face formed by wrinkled bark…
A great tree turned demon, reaching a level comparable to a human’s Foundation Establishment Demon General!
Lou Yi activated the detection function on this tree demon.
[Name: Tree Demon]
[Age: 1889/?]
[Realm: Initial-rank Demon General]
[Talent: Regeneration]
[Attribute: Wood Element]
Possesses the regeneration talent?
Regeneration: Parts of the body that suffer damage can quickly grow anew as long as it doesn’t exceed the limit.
Lou Yi’s eyes brightened, could this mean after slaying the tree demon, he could acquire the regeneration talent?
However, he thought it over carefully and couldn’t help but shake his head.
In principle, becoming a Demon General implies possessing a talent.
He could only see its talent ahead of time.
Whether the talent would drop post-slaying depended on luck.
“Roar!”
As the millennium tree demon ordered, a mass of monsters surged forward densely, beginning the siege.
“Array activate!”
On the city wall, an elder from the Corpse-Driving Sect unleashed his vast spiritual power, his black Daoist robe flapping loudly in the wind.
In the next moment, bright white light illuminated various areas on Pan City’s city wall, thick black array patterns emerged, like serpents continuously flowing on the ground.
Above the array patterns, a layer of thin white mist gradually formed, spreading outside the city and advancing more than ten zhang before halting.
Within the white mist formed by the array.
Disciples of the Corpse-Driving Sect and the city defenders not only found their vision unimpaired but also felt rejuvenated, their earlier fatigue swept away.
While the monsters charging into the mist seemed disoriented.
Their five senses evidently weakened, their speed greatly reduced, turning them into large, living targets.
Lou Yi’s eyes flashed red, with his mastery of basic arrays, he saw many subtleties.
Pan City’s array, the engraved patterns primarily consisted of three types.
One was the Clarity Pattern. It’s the most fundamental pattern, granting clarity of sight and hearing when applied on oneself, while reverse circulation obscures the five senses, having the opposite effect.
Another was the Qi Augmentation Pattern, it increases the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the area, invigorating individuals and enhancing spell power.
The third was the Gravity Pattern, this pattern is extremely complex to inscribe and belongs to high-level patterns.
Applied on oneself increases gravity, making enemies struggle with each step, or reverses circulation to boost ally speed.
“Kill those monsters!”
“Die!”
Once the array activated, the forces of the Corpse-Driving Sect took action.
The defenders released numerous specially made arrows with demon-breaking effects, while the cultivators fully deployed their magic.
“Fire Sparrow!”
Bi Yaoyao let out a sharp cry.
Spiritual power surged within her, as red talismans flew into the air, igniting without wind.
Transforming into basketball-sized red firebirds, they flew towards the monsters ahead.
The monsters hit by the firebirds screamed in agony, their bodies catching fire, turning into charred remains shortly after.
“Wind come!”
Rong Xuejian performed the Yin Wind Technique, gray yin wind deftly covering the monsters’ most vulnerable facial features.
Corroding their eyes and ears, destroying senses.
Followed by arm-thick Yin Qi Arrows that easily pierced their throats, leaving a splash of blood.
“Ghost Shoulder Slap!”
A True Disciple with ninth layer Qi cultivation, abundant spiritual power, continuously sealing with both hands, manifested a translucent black giant hand seven or eight zhang large, black mist billowing around it.
One slap and several large tiger demons below were flattened.
The black mist infiltrated the wounds afterward, corroding their bodies into tatters.
Lou Yi’s actions, on the other hand, differed from the many cultivators present.
This time he didn’t use fists or axes, but took out the newly refined Hundred Corpses Debt Soul-Binding Array Map.
The array map unfolded, seven or eight zhang long, emitting intense black light, thirty-six auxiliary corpses instantly returned to position, standing atop the array base, then fiercely wrapped towards a particular spot.
Five or six monsters there screamed and were transformed into mushy flesh and blood.
Concealed by the array.
A Blood Shadow flew from his palm, devouring all the flesh and blood.
Once the array map was withdrawn, the spot became empty.
Others didn’t suspect, assuming it was an inherent effect of the array.
Simultaneously, the attribute panel consistently popped up various notifications like ’Energy +5’ ’Energy +12’ ’Energy +9’.
Lou Yi’s total energy was increasing visibly!
Not only killing monsters increased energy, but his fellow sect members’ kills aided his energy growth too.
In just the duration of an incense stick, his energy increased by over three hundred points, equivalent to three days’ accumulation in the sect.
At this rate, ten thousand energy might not take long at all.
Seeing Lou Yi’s astonishing performance, many fellow sect members from the Corpse-Driving Sect were full of praise.
“What impressive array skills!”
“This junior brother can place arrays on the battlefield, in all my years in the sect, it’s truly my first time seeing it!”
“Indeed, the path of arrays is extremely challenging. Even those with talent would struggle to achieve much in seventy or eighty years, Junior Brother Lou is truly a prodigy!”
Nearby, Bi Yaoyao and Rong Xuejian exchanged looks.
They had no idea when Lou Yi’s array cultivation became so proficient.
No longer violently punching and axing recklessly, Lou Yi now ’sneakily’ attacked remotely with arrays, appearing somewhat unfamiliar to them.
Increasingly adept at using the Hundred Corpses Array.
Eventually, Lou Yi brazenly jumped outside the city, wrapped in the array map, advancing while continually engulfing nearby monsters.
“This human brat is too arrogant!”
Surrounding monsters were infuriated, Lou Yi became a thorn in their side.
“Simply relying on so-called array protection, but the array can’t hold me!
Once I, Old Pig, break through to his proximity, he will certainly die!” a massive Wild Boar Demon roared.
It measured over ten zhang, covered in thick black keratin, its cultivation reaching the Peak of Little Demon, nearing Demon General.
Then, it directly charged towards Lou Yi’s location fiercely.
“Good, Brother Pig’s physical defense is exceptionally strong, that brat’s array won’t handle it quickly.
Once close to his body, he is sure to die!”
“Tear him apart and swallow him whole!”
Other monsters roared, their eyes glinting with bloodlust.
