Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 546 - 523: Appetizer
Chapter 546: Chapter 523: Appetizer
“That’s right, as long as we kill the Qingyang Demon, the Demon Clan won’t be a threat.
The remaining ones like the two Lion Demons and the Cold Cicada Demon are no match.” The Zhang family’s prodigy, Zhang Xinye, nodded.
“This Qingyang Demon doesn’t have a noble lineage; its original form was just an ordinary wild goat. Achieving this level of cultivation is truly terrifying.
Moreover, I feel it’s not far from reaching bloodline perfection. If it continues to break through…” Qingluan Palace’s Xin Zhiqi gently parted her red lips, her voice as melodious as a musical instrument.
Yet, what she said sent a chill through everyone’s heart.
A demon’s bloodline perfection is comparable to the Human Race’s Foundation Perfection, almost stepping into a new realm.
And those with Foundation Perfection have an overwhelming advantage over ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. They are the elite among elites, geniuses among geniuses.
Even in the four major sects, they are rare, considered Golden Core reserves, and rarely stay within the sects.
Instead, they venture to forbidden lands like the Abyss to seek a slim chance of ascending to the heavens in one step.
If the Qingyang Demon reaches bloodline perfection, there’s no need to even fight this battle; we might as well all just go home.”
“Bloodline perfection is not so easily achieved, especially for an ordinary wild goat,” Jin Tingfeng said disdainfully. “Tomorrow, you won’t need to take action; I will kill it on the spot!”
“We naturally trust in Brother Jin’s strength,” Lu Chen smiled. “But we must prepare for any situation and make comprehensive preparations.
We should discuss in advance the timing of our actions tomorrow, our attack routes, and the magical spells and artifacts each of us will use.”
“Do as you like,” Jin Tingfeng said impatiently, but he didn’t insist further.
After discussing the plan, the group of prodigies couldn’t help but reveal excited expressions.
Tomorrow, once the Qingyang Demon is slain and the Demon Clan’s army is crushed, this war that has lasted for years can come to a perfect conclusion.
With the plan set, everyone relaxed and began to chat casually.
“Once tomorrow’s task is completed, we must make the Corpse-Driving Sect pay dearly to reward us well.”
“That’s right, without us from the several sects, their sect with only a few useless fighters would have left Zhao Kingdom in ruins long ago!”
“Zhao Kingdom indeed lacks any heroes, the only interesting one is that Red Hero.”
“Red Hero, just a coward hiding his head and showing his tail!”
Discussing the Red Hero, Jin Tingfeng was particularly displeased and angry about him.
“Brother Jin seems to have a grudge against the Red Hero?” Flame Divine Monarch Xia Hong asked curiously.
Although his appearance was ordinary, the flame mark at the center of his brow was particularly striking, becoming his unique personal signature.
“Is he worthy?” Jin Tingfeng sneered. “Just because my junior sister said he’s powerful.
I want her to see reality and not be fooled by some unreliable folk storytellers.”
“How can the Red Hero compare to Brother Jin?” Li Jiawei from the Li Family of the East Sea smiled faintly. “He’s only good at hiding his aura, relying on his vile assassination techniques to kill some demons by chance.
In a face-to-face confrontation, not to mention Brother Jin, who among us here isn’t stronger than him?”
After hearing Li Jiawei’s words, the other prodigies nodded, with none believing they were inferior to the Red Hero.
Soon, they changed the topic, no longer paying attention to this person.
The next day.
Outside Huai City, on a vast open ground, two large forces stood against each other, clearly demarcated.
On the Demon Clan’s side, there were Tiger Demons, Bear Demons, Snake Demons, Deer Demons, Leopard Demons, Elephant Demons, Fox Demons, Bird Demons…
Each was massive, towering two or three stories high.
Their fierce eyes and dripping saliva created a nauseating stench that lingered, almost forming a dark cloud overhead.
On the Human Race’s side, there were cultivators in different styles of Daoist Robes and soldiers clad in Hard Armor, wielding long spears.
Numerous eye-catching Flying Magical Artifacts floated in the air.
Like a giant black ruler over ten zhang, a fire-red flying boat larger and more translucent than ordinary ships, and a white jade carriage decorated with dragons and phoenixes… each emitting radiant colors and resplendent light.
“Roar!”
Within the Demon Clan’s formation, roars resounded one after another, like thunder, shaking the heavens and earth.
“Kill!”
In the Human Race’s camp, soldiers shouted in unison, maintaining their morale, not to be overshadowed by the opposing side.
Human Race’s prodigy Jin Tingfeng was about to engage in a life and death battle with the Demon Clan’s top expert, the Qingyang Demon!
On the scene, nearly all the cultivators and soldiers involved in this grand event felt quite stirred.
Lou Yi, Bi Yaoyao, and You Qingyi mingled among the numerous Corpse-Driving Sect team.
Elder Wen, Qiu Shaojie, Shen Yuhao, and other Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators led the group, accompanied by other Inner Sect Disciples and True Disciples, totaling about thirty people, with decent strength.
However, their position was quite peripheral, almost at the very edge of the Human Race’s formation.
Because of this, many Corpse-Driving Sect disciples felt indignant and frustrated.
“Dammit, we are the native people of Zhao Kingdom, yet these True Blood Sect and Red Sun Sect guys pushed us to such a remote position! Elder Wen didn’t even contest it.”
“There’s nothing we can do; Elder Wen said we must value harmony.
The sect has long reached a consensus to avoid conflict with several allied sects to preserve our sect’s reputation since they are here to support us!”
“It all comes down to strength. Our Corpse-Driving Sect doesn’t have any heroes who can rival the Qingyang Demon.”
“Lou Wooden Head, who do you think will win?” Bi Yaoyao stood behind Lou Yi.
Unable to resist, she tried to pat his shoulder with her small hand, but he unknowingly dodged.
Bi Yaoyao felt a bit puzzled but didn’t pay it much mind.
“I haven’t seen the Qingyang Demon, so it’s hard to judge.” Lou Yi shook his head.
He looked towards the Demon Clan’s camp.
There, a small dark red snake emerged, no longer than three feet, coiled with its tail on the ground.
The snake’s head was triangular and extremely sharp, with two dark green eyes flashing with cruel and sinister light.
“If you want to fight Lord Qingyang, that Jin Tingfeng has to get past me first!” the Snake Demon boasted. “Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can challenge Lord Qingyang!”
As soon as the words fell, the Snake Demon unleashed its demonic power.
The previously coiled body instantly straightened like a three-foot-long red sharp sword.
The sharp snakehead resembled a sword’s tip, red to the point of black, exuding a chilling gleam.
Even from a hundred zhang away, those at the forefront of the Human Race could feel their skin tingling as though being scraped by blades.
“It’s the Sword Snake Demon; it’s rare to see it attack, but it’s said to be incredibly fast and not to be underestimated!” someone exclaimed.
The Human Race side didn’t react too dramatically to the Sword Snake Demon’s behavior.
Before the main course, it’s normal to have appetizers to whet the appetite.
“Are you even worthy to make Senior Brother Jin make a move? I’ll be enough to kill you!” From the True Blood Sect, a robust young man stepped forward.
He had a little braid tied behind his head and wore black leather armor.
His two bronze-colored arms were exposed, with a gleam of treasure light on his skin, and mysterious translucent ancient characters occasionally surfaced on his body.
“True Blood Sect’s prodigy, Sun Chen, once ranked in the top ten of the Demon Slayer List.
His iron fists are more rigid than ordinary Spiritual Artifacts; even mountains would shatter under his blows!” someone recognized the braided male cultivator and exclaimed.
Human Race’s expert Sun Chen faced off against the Demon Clan’s Sword Snake Demon, not making the crowd wait long; both sides attacked simultaneously.
