Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 449 - 447: Seven Cities Conquered in Succession
Chapter 449: Chapter 447: Seven Cities Conquered in Succession
’Dong dong dong!’
’Dong dong dong!’
’Creak…’
As the door opened, a clear voice with a hint of disappointment rang out.
“Oh, why didn’t you go out? Don’t you know something big happened outside the city!”
“What happened?”
“Those Leopard Men were all taken down by the mysterious body cultivator who killed the Young Wolf Lord!” Bi Yaoyao said excitedly, yet puzzled, “Why do you think he keeps helping our sect kill demons?”
“Isn’t this the trouble he stirred up himself?” Lou Yi replied with a smile, “He digs his own pits, and he has to fill them; that’s pretty normal.”
“That’s true, but he could have completely ignored it.” Rong Xuejian came from behind, shaking his head, “Killing the Young Wolf Lord, Cyan Wolf Ridge will retaliate against our sect; perhaps he didn’t anticipate this.
This mysterious body cultivator must be a person of great noble character.”
They chatted about it for a long time.
Lou Yi suddenly said: “I need to return to Ping’an Village tomorrow, I’m somewhat worried about the relatives and friends there. You guys follow the previous arrangements, don’t worry about me.”
“How about we go back with you?” Bi Yaoyao suggested excitedly, “I haven’t seen those friends of yours from before yet.”
“There will be opportunities in the future.” Lou Yi mercilessly rejected, causing Bi Yaoyao to purse her lips.
With the Leopard Men annihilated and Ru City temporarily safe, Lou Yi used the same reason to bid farewell to He Xiang.
That night, he left Ru City, heading towards another city where battles were raging hot.
…
Zhao Kingdom, the situation was becoming increasingly urgent.
Cyan Wolf Ridge’s heretical forces accumulated over a thousand years were all rushing into Zhao Kingdom’s territory.
More than half of the border cities were already surrounded by monsters, the number had broken through twenty and was nearing thirty.
Corpse-Driving Sect had to send elders and disciples daily to aid various regions, but as clashes intensified, the battles became more brutal, and some cities’ situations were already precarious.
Even in cities not suffering from the chaos, prices had more than tripled compared to before the war, and public grievances were boiling.
Some unscrupulous grain merchants tried to raise prices, but they were strongly suppressed by the court; mercy was not an option at this time.
Despite this, Zhao Kingdom’s national fortune continued to decline, with no clear end in sight.
Above the clouds, several majestic figures stood in the void, silently watching the vast lands of Zhao Kingdom below.
In their eyes.
A massive, golden dragon, so large it covered almost half of Zhao Kingdom, was swirling, roaring, sometimes disappearing and becoming invisible.
Fearsome divine thoughts collided and communicated high in the sky.
“If more than half of Zhao Kingdom falls, the dragon’s energy will plummet to the bottom, unable to fatally harm you and me. Then we can strike with thunder, annihilating Corpse-Driving Sect!”
“We must guard against that old man going down with us, it would be unpleasant if he takes one with him at the last moment…”
“The human race’s power has risen too strongly in recent years, it needs a good rectification. We’ll start with Corpse-Driving Sect to make them realize who truly rules this land!”
“Let’s first let these young ones burn out for a while, gradually consuming the cities…when the time is right, we’ll step in…”
…
Tong City, merely a hundred miles away from Ru City.
The city defenses opened at this moment, white fog enveloped the area, and the Human Race and Demon Clan engaged in extremely bloody battles.
“Kill, kill these demon beasts!”
“Protect the array base, don’t let them come up and destroy it!”
“Ah!!!!”
Talismans soared, various magic blossomed, and sword beams shot out…the attacking monsters were chopped into pieces, falling under the various methods of the cultivators.
However, among the monsters were some strong ones, capable of enduring multiple attacks and even jumping onto the city walls, tearing apart cultivators that couldn’t dodge!
Among them, a Carp Demon was the most arrogant.
Its entire body was covered in dense red scales, with astonishing defense.
Even when facing multiple magical attacks, it remained unfazed, jump onto the city walls, swallowing one human cultivator after another, showing extreme cruelty!
“Monster, don’t be arrogant!” The Foundation Establishment Elder defending the city, seeing magic was ineffective against it, sent out his lifebound corpse, which gleamed with silver light, possessing impressive strength and moving like lightning.
But upon clashing, not only was the Silver Corpse unable to hurt the Carp Demon, but it was also violently slammed into the mud by it, causing the elder’s eyebrows to twitch.
“A bunch of weaklings, who can hurt me, hahaha!” The Carp Demon laughed wildly.
It pushed through several Yin Qi Arrows and the Lotus of Fire, directly lunging at the elder.
With a claw, it almost tore the space in front, nearly snatching him.
The Foundation Establishment Elder burnt his spiritual essence to escape, although he dodged danger, he spat blood, clearly injured his primordial qi.
“Trash, humans are all trash!” the Carp Demon laughed disdainfully.
That night.
At the center of the monster camp where the Carp Demon was.
A dazzling red light suddenly appeared, followed by a monster’s heart-wrenching scream.
When Tong City’s elder and other cultivators arrived.
They found the Carp Demon, which was extremely troublesome and fearsome during the day, dead, its body torn into pieces, face filled with fear, dead beyond dead!
Nearby was a pile of ordinary monster corpses.
Some corpses even turned shriveled, as if their blood had been sucked dry.
“Is this… did that person make a move?” The elder’s face changed, as if he thought of something, and exclaimed.
“Elder, who are you talking about?”
“His name is unknown, but I know the Young Wolf Lord from Cyan Wolf Ridge died at his hands!”
Elsewhere, Lou Yi, who was the subject of heated discussion, was quietly observing the new talent appearing on the Attribute Panel.
Red Scales: Can increase the body’s defense ability somewhat…
He activated Petrification, Golden Armor, Red Scales, and other defensive talents, starting testing, discovering his body’s hardness had reached the level of a mid-grade spiritual artifact.
That is to say, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator uses a low-grade spiritual artifact to bombard him consistently, it would be hard to inflict fatal damage!
In just a few months.
He went from barely escaping with his life from Foundation Establishment foes to evolving into someone even ordinary Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators found difficult to deal with…
Liang City, another two hundred miles away from Tong City.
The attacking Demon General was a gigantic mantis taller than a human.
It was covered all over with a thick green chitin, its two front limbs incredibly sharp, often able to slice a person in half!
The thing that frustrated Liang City’s elder defending the city the most was that the Mantis Demon’s speed was incredibly alarming, far exceeding the speed of sound.
Each time a spell or flying sword was released, it managed to dodge in time, proving particularly hard to kill.
Moreover, the Mantis Demon was very sinister, staying clear of the Foundation Establishment elder and targeting disciples with weaker cultivation.
Several of Corpse-Driving Sect’s true inheritance disciples had already died at its hands, enraging and confounding the elder defending the city.
Just as he hesitated on seeking help from the sect.
One night, within the demon clan’s stronghold, red light soared, filled with the continuous roars and growls of various monsters, ultimately turning into terrified whimpers.
Clearly, a sudden change occurred within the demon clan.
When they went to check, they saw a figure shrouded in red light moving away.
And the Mantis Demon they all loathed and dreaded had become a dried mantis corpse…
After killing the Mantis Demon, Lou Yi looked at the Attribute Panel and gained a new talent.
Acuity: Muscles become tighter, more scientifically exerted, enhancing explosive speed…
Through testing, he boosted his speed from 2.2 times the speed of sound to 2.5 times, pushing his speed a tier up, even among mid-level Demon Generals, he wasn’t weak.
On the third day after the Mantis Demon was killed, two Lizard Demon Generals attacking Xu City also died at Lou Yi’s hands.
He gained the new talent Lizard Skin, enhancing his physical sturdiness.
From approaching the level of a mid-grade spiritual artifact, reaching the level of a mid-grade spiritual artifact completely.
