Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 550 - 527: Sudden Upheaval
Chapter 550: Chapter 527: Sudden Upheaval
The disciple speaking was Lou Yi.
The reason for cautioning the sect’s Foundation Establishment cultivators not to pursue the desperate foe.
Was because he had foretold that the Human side would encounter a dangerous predicament in this battle.
Since now Jin Gang had defeated the Green Sheep Demon, it indicated danger might lurk behind.
Of course, this reason could not be spoken outright and could only be attributed to a mysterious intuition.
As expected, a trace of doubt appeared on Shen Yuhao’s face.
After all, the person warning him was just a late-stage Qi Refining disciple.
As a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, he hadn’t sensed any danger, so how could he trust the words of a Qi Cultivation disciple?
“So it’s Junior Brother Lou.” Qiu Shaojie, who had met Lou Yi a few times, recognized him and smiled at Shen Yuhao, “Junior Brother Lou is a prodigy, who achieved something unprecedented in hundreds of years by killing a Demon General with merely Qi Cultivation and ascending the Demon Exterminators’ List.”
“You are Lou Yi?” Shen Yuhao listened, and for the first time began to take the other party seriously, pondering Lou Yi’s words.
The same sentence, coming from an ordinary Qi Cultivation, and from a prodigy who could defy ranks and kill Demon Generals, couldn’t be the same, could it?
Leaving aside the hesitation among the Corpse-Driving Sect’s disciples.
The Demon Clan’s army began to scatter widely after the Green Sheep Demon’s defeat.
Humans below Foundation Establishment seized the victory chase, pursuing relentlessly, aiming to kill as many as they could.
Of course, there was no need to worry too much about the lives of these ordinary minor demons.
As long as the Green Sheep Demon was killed, the Demon Clan would be leaderless, like scattered sand, posing no further threat to the Human Race.
Therefore, the Foundation Establishment cultivators from other sects were already chasing after the Green Sheep Demon.
At this time, the Green Sheep Demon transformed into an ordinary white mountain goat, maximizing its speed, galloping towards a distant forest.
Behind it, two to three dozen shadows followed closely.
Each was riding on flying magical artifacts of various colors, exuding powerful auras, holding on tightly.
Naturally, those closest were the strongest Seven Demon Exterminators, specifically:
’Invincible Vajra’ Jin Tingfeng from the True Blood Sect, ’Flame Divine Monarch’ Xia Hong and ’Jade-faced Young Master’ Lu Chen from the Red Sun Sect, ’Fairy Biluo’ Xin Zhiq
’One Sword Immortal’ Zhang Xinye from the Zhang Family in the East Sea, ’East Sea Celestial Ruler’ Li Jiawei from the Li Family in the East Sea, and Loose Cultivator Han Yunzhen.
Seeing the Green Sheep Demon about to escape into the lush, endless forest.
Everyone was anxious, displaying their divine skills, trying to intercept it.
Jin Tingfeng threw a powerful punch, creating a spectral dragon of over ten zhang in length, blocking the Green Sheep Demon’s direct path;
Xia Hong waved his robe, causing a large black cloud to form in front of him, pouncing towards the Green Sheep Demon’s left flank;
Zhang Xinye controlled his Sword Pill, turning it into a silver sword light of thirty to forty zhang, slicing towards the right flank where the Green Sheep Demon might break through…
The Green Sheep Demon, under the encirclement of numerous prodigies, was forced to fend off with great efforts, breaking left and right.
Its once snow-white fur became mottled with black and yellow, its skin bearing numerous wounds, bleeding profusely, truly a sorry sight.
Yet, as the top expert of the Demon Clan, it repeatedly turned danger into safety, finding paths of survival from desperate situations.
Finally, it found an opportunity, leaping out of the encirclement and dashing into the dense forest.
“Quick, chase it!”
“Don’t let it escape no matter what!”
“Catch it above the earth and skies!”
The eyes of the Human Foundation Establishment cultivators reddened.
If the Green Sheep Demon escaped, today’s efforts would be in vain. Future attempts to kill it would become even more challenging.
Over a dozen streams of light at the forefront, without hesitation, followed it into the forest.
Just then, a sudden change occurred.
“Awooo!!!”
A roar that resounded through the heavens and earth came from the forest.
Followed by a visibly moon-white sound wave, spreading outward in water ripple patterns, rapidly sweeping over the area.
Wherever it passed, whether trees, rocks, or unfortunate beasts, all were reduced to dust.
Even those dozens of miles away could feel the vastness of the sound, causing their heads to buzz, unable to resist covering their ears.
Those Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators at the epicenter of the attack suffered unimaginable destruction.
One by one they coughed up blood, flying backwards, smashing through countless trees, and crashing heavily to the ground, raising clouds of dust.
Thick spiritual power armors or rare defensive spiritual artifacts formed on their bodies.
Yet the spiritual light surrounding them fluctuated violently, seemingly on the verge of shattering.
The sudden roar delivered such a terrifying blow with just one strike.
“What the hell is it!” ’East Sea Celestial Ruler’ Li Jiawei pressed his hand to his head, shouting in shock and anger.
As one of the Seven Demon Exterminators, his power had reached the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment, rarely meeting opponents of the same rank.
But now, bleeding from all seven orifices, his hair disheveled, he looked like a vengeful ghost, his former elegance and confidence vanished without a trace.
What chilled his heart even more.
Was the sound wave just now, which clearly contained an attack on the divine soul.
It felt like a sharp spike being stabbed into his head, causing an explosive headache, as if it were about to burst.
And those Foundation Establishment cultivators lying on the ground with lesser cultivation were even worse, some had already fainted.
At this moment.
A shadow charged out like thunder, first reaching Li Jiawei.
“Die!”
Li Jiawei roared angrily.
A spirit ruler emitting a faint blue glow immediately appeared in front of him.
The spirit ruler was about a foot long, continuously emitting a faint blue spiritual light, gathering into cloud-like shapes, filling the space before him.
The light contained extremely cold, sharp energy, causing the air in front to tremble slightly under its influence.
Seeing the shadow about to strike the faint blue spiritual light, confidence flashed in Li Jiawei’s eyes.
He seemed already to foresee the scene of its limbs being torn apart.
Having the title of ’East Sea Celestial Ruler’, he had used this top-grade spiritual artifact to slay countless mid-tier, high-tier Demon Generals.
He had also twice secured the top spot on the monthly Demon Exterminators’ List, hardly an empty title.
Unexpectedly, the shadow charged into the light from the ruler without slowing down.
Its surface emitted crackling sounds, yet it appeared unscathed.
With a look of disbelief, Li Jiawei watched as the shadow heedlessly reached him, grabbed him by the legs, and swung him high.
“No!”
Li Jiawei let out a cry of despair.
The shadow ignored his defensive spiritual artifact, tearing him apart forcefully.
’Ssss!’
Li Jiawei was ripped along the waist into two bloody halves, with a mass of viscera and blood spilling out.
Bathing in his blood, the shadow let out an exhilarated, chilling howl, then swiftly charged at another nearby figure.
It was another of the Seven Demon Exterminators, ’One Sword Immortal’ Zhang Xinye.
Seeing Li Jiawei’s tragic fate, Zhang Xinye abandoned any thought of resisting the shadow.
He recalled his Sword Pill, merging it into his body, enveloping himself in silver sword light.
Then with a ’whoosh’, he merged with the sword light, flying swiftly away.
A sword cultivator’s ability to fly with and become one with the sword light is a high-tier spell, the speed surpassing ordinary flying magical artifacts by far, nearly reaching more than five times the speed of sound.
Although the shadow pursued closely behind, it seemed unable to close the gap.
Seeing he was about to exit the shadow’s attack range.
The shadow let out a low, rumbling roar, swinging its arm forcefully.
“Sky Splitting Claw!”
Five crescent moon-shaped silver lights, each about a zhang long, sliced through the air, aiming at Zhang Xinye’s back.
Feeling the danger, Zhang Xinye quickly turned his direction.
He narrowly avoided four of the crescent moons but was ultimately struck by one.
Even with a spiritual flying sword for protection and deep spiritual essence shielding his body, he was cleaved in half, each part landing in different locations.
’Pfff!’
Zhang Xinye’s upper half kept spitting blood continuously.
His arms propped him up from the ground, his face wrought with despair as he looked at his lower half a hundred zhang away.
He then raised his head, looking at the shadow that had just killed him.
“Wolf… Clan…”
Zhang Xinye uttered the last two words of his life with unwillingness, then expired.
…
